Currently My Favorite Beatles Cover


The Pozo-Seco Singers were a folk music group from 1965-1970 that country singer Don Williams was associated with before he hit the big time with his long sideburns and romantic crooning.

A few weeks back I stumbled across this version of the Pozo-Secos doing the If I Fell by the Beatles. Vocalist Susan Taylor sounds very determined and a little world weary on the intro, unsteered by the opening guitar chords. She still maintains the lead during the song but the back up, which I believe is other Pozo-Seco member Lofton Kline, with male harmony gives the song a new dimension and the guitar and bass work are just right to support them. The addition of drums would certainly have killed the beauty and delicacy of this treatment.
