The Sky is Crying Version from Eric Clapton

The Sky Is Crying - Elmore James - Live at Brentwood Blues Jam
Originally by Elmore James; this song has been covered countless times by artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Gary Moore, Albert King, Eric Clapton and Lightnin' Slim to name but a few. This is one of my favourite songs to play as it has a good tempo and I am probably most comfortable playing a slow blues. I also love playing in the key of B! I am playing guitar and, rather unfortunately for anyone who watches, singing!
