Always lose the great ones early. Chris Stapleton did a podcast with joe rogan. He stated that people who are talented like Keith their brains function differently. They live on the raged edge of life to find peace.
Why do most people immediately make comparisons?...yes, he is singing a Keith Whitley song, but this is His voice and he does it extremely well...my hats off.
Very nice cover. You have a beautiful sound. I miss traditional country. Keith was one of a kind. I’d rather not compare you to him but appreciate you for your own wonderful sound. Thank you for keeping true, non pop, country alive!😃👍
Traditional country is the best. Dillon songs very nice songs and I love the sound of his music, sounds kinda like a Bluegrass sound. Not this song but other songs Dillon has performed
While I never like to compare one talent to another, this is definitely comendable natural talent and I hope it takes you places that your dreams are made up of. Amazing job!!!!!!
There will never be another Keith Whitley, but nice job on one of his biggest and most memorable hits. There is definitely some similarities there, and mixed with his own personal touches makes this a great tribute to Keith. Awesome job!
There was only one Keith Whitley! However, this original version of Dillon Carmichael is probably one of the best I have heard. You are a very talented artist! #Don'tCloseYourEyes
You definitely have earned the right to sing this song my friend!! You will never hear me say that because im a huge Keith Whitley fan!! Outstanding my friend!! I hope you go far!
Dillon..l commented before about the incredible talent that you are blessed with and the music you continue to bring to the table.. you are one of the few that is keeping real country music alive.. love you bro..👊👊👊👊👊👊👊🔥🔥💚
it dont get no better than this,, i really loved Keith, he could really touch your heart, and so do you, thats what i love about you, please dont change
Don't close your eyes, let it be me Don't pretend it's him, in some fantasy Darling just once, let yesterday go And you'll find more love than you'll ever know Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight And don't close your eyes I have this on repeat the whole day... Absolutely moving cover... You earned a fan in me Dillon
To say “ The next Keith Whitley “ is putting a lot on one man! Keith Whitley will NEVER BE DUPLICATED OR MATCHED! I must admit, this fella sounds pretty damn good, but the next Keith Whitley....... 🤷♂️
He is unique, like Keith. But he has his own style, and what an amazing style (and sound) that it is. I cannot wait to hear and see more of what this young man brings us in the future. Keep it comin!
Absolutely killed it, gave me chill bumps, hair standing up on my arms n just makes me feel good. I feel bad for people that music dosent touch there soul like that, what a loss. Great cover man ✌✌✌✌✌
That’s a great tribute, obviously there will never be another Keith whitley, but great voice and carve your own path. That’s real country you’re singing
He did a great job such a beautiful voice ❣️ and geez relax people I'm sure he knows he will never be the next Keith whitley it's probably an honor for him to sing one of Keith's songs
This man is a true trubidour plowing his own road through life in which he definitely made his mark on this planet he is a one of a kind , he sings everything from foot stomping rowdy songs to living life to sad his voice is magic captivates you the second he starts singing a definite piller for country music
If Keith Whitleycould hear you he'd be standing up and cheering !!!!! Totally awesome!!!
It amazes me that there are people this good and most of what you hear on the radio is trash
Yeah the talent is definitely out there, unfortunately though the “powers that be” in the industry don’t push quality music like this anymore.
If everyone quits listening to the new country crap they may just bring the good old country back!
great voice....pick up the tempo just a little hon...so people can slow dance....good luck
@Red Stater you are so right I am afraid but one can only wish, new country is not allowed to be programmed in my vehicles!
So TRUE!
Great job, it is hard covering a great song by a legend. We lost Keith way to early.
Yes we did and it sucks...

Blame the person who put the caption "The next Keith Whitley?" in the thumbnail.
Talk about clickbait.
Very nice cover. You have a beautiful sound. I miss traditional country. Keith was one of a kind. I’d rather not compare you to him but appreciate you for your own wonderful sound. Thank you for keeping true, non pop, country alive!😃👍
Traditional country is the best. Dillon songs very nice songs and I love the sound of his music, sounds kinda like a Bluegrass sound. Not this song but other songs Dillon has performed
This is pure brilliance and talent. Why am I not hearing you on my radio already?!??! Best cover of this song I have heard.
Totally agree with all of that!
100% there’s a very small number of singers that could do Keith’s songs justice. Dillon Carmichael nailed this 🔥
I agree it’s a very good cover but in My opinion the best cover of this song is by Keith’s Son Jesse Keith Whitley
Phenomenal it's A damn shame he is not on the radio. His song old songs like that is tremendous.
Very much impressed. Keith Whitney sang this song with such emotion.
While I never like to compare one talent to another, this is definitely comendable natural talent and I hope it takes you places that your dreams are made up of. Amazing job!!!!!!
There will never be another Keith Whitley, but nice job on one of his biggest and most memorable hits. There is definitely some similarities there, and mixed with his own personal touches makes this a great tribute to Keith. Awesome job!
Now that's country. Keep up the awesome work.
What a beautiful richness/ tone to your voice!! God bless!
There was only one Keith Whitley! However, this original version of Dillon Carmichael is probably one of the best I have heard. You are a very talented artist! #Don'tCloseYourEyes
Amazing job Dillon! Keith would be proud! One of the best renditions I've ever heard of this song. The most soulful without a doubt..
Love this. Hard to sing a Keith Whitley song..you nailed it.
No doubt. Thanks for watching Teena.
You definitely have earned the right to sing this song my friend!! You will never hear me say that because im a huge Keith Whitley fan!! Outstanding my friend!! I hope you go far!
Thanks Andrew. That's a really nice compliment.
Awesome Job Dillon Carmichael
I wonder what Keith Whitley would if he was still alive & heard this
Best cover I ever heard but never be another keith. Great job
This is exactly what country music should sound like. Wow! Great rendition!!
Dillon..l commented before about the incredible talent that you are blessed with and the music you continue to bring to the table.. you are one of the few that is keeping real country music alive.. love you bro..👊👊👊👊👊👊👊🔥🔥💚

You sing like an angel, not for nothing I cry every time you play but in a good way. Thank you
Don't close your eyes, let it be me
Don't pretend it's him, in some fantasy

And you'll find more love than you'll ever know
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
I have this on repeat the whole day... Absolutely moving cover... You earned a fan in me Dillon
Old country is where it’s at I just wish they would push it on main stream more
Very good.
Fine job Keith would be very,proud of you keep up the fine work.

K9COP282 closest you can get to Keith Whitley is Chris Caskey
Nothing wrong with paying tribute to a legend!
You made Keith Whitley proud. Pure country. Love it.
He is unique, like Keith. But he has his own style, and what an amazing style (and sound) that it is. I cannot wait to hear and see more of what this young man brings us in the future. Keep it comin!
Nice cover. Hard to do something that the great Keith Whitley did, but he did a good job. Miss Keith.
Background vocal deserves major kudos. Hard to cover Whitley but this was fantastic.
Good call there. These guys had a lot of practice together no doubt.
