  • Hi! I've got a tape I want to play.
    Performed, recorded and produced by Josh Turner. Everything is being performed "live" - what you see is what you hear.
    Thanks to Leah Taub for lending me her keyboard, to Carson for engineering help on the guitar parts, and to Kelly for encouraging me to keep pushing the envelope with my content. Thanks also to my Patreon patrons for making it possible for me to spend as much time as it takes to produce videos like this. I literally could not do it without you.

    GEAR RUNDOWN:

    Guitar setup: MIM Telecaster - Fender Blues Jr. - sE Voodoo VR2
    Bass: Squier 70's J-Bass - ART Pro MPA II
    Keys - Some kind of old Yamaha... the one with the DJ button
    Mixed in Pro Tools. Video edited in Premiere.
    Happy New Year!

      He plays bass as well as Tina Weymouth, plays drums as well as Chris Frantz, plays guitar as well as Jerry Harrison, and sings some lines better than David Byrne. He even uses a British intonation at the end of one of the lines. Watch out, Carlos Santana -- you may be next!

      tobortine I just had the weirdest deja vu! What video was I on where just the other day someone replied to you and was like "oh you only give positive feedback" And you were like no it's actually negative but the picture is small and he said something along the lines of you don't have to make excuses for me?

    • @tobortine
      @tobortine 6 лет назад

      Yes, you're right. I can't remember which video it was but I do remember a dialog along those lines. People who recognise that it's an op amp fairly frequently make the comment about negative feedback, it's just a geeky joke, I don't think anyone means any harm.

      Josh is a widely appreciated musician. It's not about numbers but even if it were, 204 thousand subscribers? Over 44 million video views?.. and counting. Agreed, his 'fame' does not level his talent, but Josh is somebody who loves making music, that is apparent and it's one of his finest attributes as a performer, so who cares about recognition? The talent is there and he will grow in the lifetime ahead along with Carson into some of most highly regarded musicians out there! We are just the privileged few who get to watch and listen to that happen.

      @@Franny456Liburd Because if he were more broadly known, more people could enjoy his talent. But then everything seems to get corrupted when it gets to big and commercial, so maybe it is best this way.

    When I heard this T.H. song in the1980's it kind of became the theme song for the rest of my 62 years long life. I some times think "my god what have I done" more often than someone of my background and/or education should, or so I think, but everyone has regrets and screw ups in their lives. I subscribe to your channel because I can hear old music in a fresh light and hear music that I would not normally listen to. I had never heard "Wagon Wheel" before but now it is one of my favorite songs. Keep doing what you do. As others have said great editing.
