This video is something of an homage to this one: • The Avett Brothers - W...
When I first saw that video, I never guessed I'd one day be able to do something similar.
I am 84 and can remember when all of this stuff started! IT WAS GREAT!
I'm 65 yrs young, and I can't tell you how much it moves me to see these young people embracing my generations music. You guys are awesome!!!!!!
Ain't it the truth? I'm 60. I know what you mean. Youngsters enjoying this music warms my heart and gives me hope for future generations appreciating this great music.
Absolutely. I love it.
It's really a vindication from our generation, I'm 69...these young folks today I guess have no choice to embrace our music, cause there is nothing for them to embrace.
@@Tunz909 what songs did you write? Or did you own the record label? Or are you just a consumer? Whilst I support “our generation” to live out our lives with utter delusion please use what is left of your mind to really think about what we experienced. Yep it was great at the point of experience but it was pure post war consumerism. The purity of the art didn’t exist the way people believe and that’s fine. Talent exists throughout all generations and their output is a reflection of the limits of creativity that are exerted on them through things like house prices, cost of education, full employment, economic policies, foreign policy etc etc etc Vindication?? Of what? “We” are better then “them”? Don’t make me cringe. “We” are the single most self serving, arrogant, bunch of know it all, resource raping generation of all time. Happy Monday 👍🏾
@Nastro Adhesivo 100% you get the best of all that has been and all that is yet to exist. Find the moments and squeeze them dry
It's official. I've listened to every cover of "Sloop John B" on the internet - and this is the best one. Everyone can quit trying, there's no point. This is the best one.
This is one of the best that I have heard.
I agreed wholeheartedly @UtahDelaCruz until I found this one: ruclips.net/video/gx5PVjsRamk/видео.htmlsi=Faqa0GR1pKpb3vlF
Enjoy
Better Even than the beach boys. Amazing!
sorry to say it isn't... although it is still a banger i recommend you check out the Fendertones cover of this!
Dwight Yoakam
You can tell by the way the lads are smiling at each other that they’re having a great time and that they all realize how much they’re all nailing it. Wicked cover.
So much talent at such a young age and all in one space at the same time. They certainly were having fun as you say by the way they smiled at each other. Wish I wouldn’t have wasted my youth!
Reminds me of the young beach boys. These guys have a similar drive and enthusiasm.
They sound great!
@@richardg646 Aye
I usually don't care for covers but this is great.😊
The bass player is absolutely an essential to this operation
Mesmerized by the bass. Good job!
lol thanks for your opinion
The bass is the best! 👍🙂
really amazes me at the start.. almost like he starts a completely different song.. Oh that silly Brian Wilson!!!
@@glorifiedng I feel the exact same way - completely unexpected/unpredictable note choice throughout the song. Breaks my brain in a pleasing fashion.
I am 71 and have listened to the Beach Boys recordings for years. This is the best cover of Sloop John B that I have heard.
this is excellent but check out The Fendertones also
I'm 56. You're not wrong.
I am 72 and I totally agree !
I'm 62, and I completely agree
Listen to the one by "The Fendertones". You may change your mind.
I'm 67 and been listening to the Beach Boys since I was 10. You fellas have blown my mind. To be this young and be THAT good is incredible. Keep up the good work. Great music for these quarantine days.
Maybe one day they will write a song. No one ever became famous covering superband's songs.....well, they could be known as Wedding singers or as a high school dance band.
@@erepsekahs Did you even look at this guys channel? I think he's well past the wedding singer and high school dance phase :D
erepsekahs he actually does write a lot of his own songs
@@emelial.6251 I would look forward to hearing some of those. Please link me when they are available.
Bob Vogel I’m going to be your age on Friday Bob and I totally agree with your comments. These young men have so much potential. Every credit to them.
I wonder if many people realize how insanely complicated this song is to pull off.
Not just the arrangement, but everything down to the most minute vocal has to be spot on.
Probably why this masterpiece is rarely covered. You guys freaking nailed it out of the park. Kudos👍
Yes we realize
'Very difficult group to cover! ''Nice job.
Yes. They realise.
Brian Wilson... the greatest songwriter of the 20th Century.
truly. pick a vocal and try to sing on harmony. It's not easy. They make it look easy, but it's not.
I lost my sister in 2015 to MS , our favorite song was Sloop John B , after she passed we were cleaning out her place and I was taking some of her things to her friends in Vancouver , I was alone in the car and a 60s Rock channel was playing , thinking of her I spoke out loud and asked her to play Sloop John B on the radio , as God is my witness seconds later it came on . Rest in Peace Carey .
Maybe quantum entanglement IS god. May you always hold her memory close and allow yourself to cry even years later. 😊
@@marlinweekley51 Thank you for those profound words , I still do both .
actually i had a few tears in my eyes
You were truly blessed.
❤
As a 180 year old man, I must say how appreciative I am of your oldies covers. I watch them with my great-great-great grandkids to show them what it was like when I was a young, 130 year-old whippersnapper
You're Joe Biden?
Great stuff Jim respect to you .
Are you Babaji?
Well young Jim, let me tell ya as an old timer of 200yo I'm equally appreciative! I guess good music and companshionip through interaction will never be dated!
@@barryjohnston4306 Good to hear you're still holding up, Barry!
Seeing kids singing 60s songs really makes me happy. Great job.
Iztok Golob Me too
Its actually a 50's song from J cash. but before that, a song first written in 1917. Maybe even before your time.
@Huawei is a criminal organization. True.
I Think they’re in their 20s
@@colefarris6501 it was 1916 but close I didn't believe you until I looked it up and found it was a Bahamian folk song, so thank you for bringing that info otherwise I always though it was a beach boy song ...
Outstanding performance guys🎉🎉🎉
The Beach Boys have rightfully taken their place amongst the greatest rock and roll bands of all time... i STILL think they're underrated. They were/are that GREAT ! Well done, fellas.
The bass player is stellar - that is not the easiest bass line to play - love all the harmonies, esp. the high harmony. Keep doing what you are doing!
Bass line is one of Carol Kaye's best, out of 10,000 recordings or so...and it's nice to know that this young lady is still with us and still playing/teaching!
You forgot Larry Knetchel too.@@Music--ng8cd
Respect to these young and fine Gentlemen.Well done. I am 74, and think this is the best cover of this song I ever heard.
47 years old...from Argentina...not the better times right now.....Your smile and harmonies brings joy to my life...thanks
are they better or worse under Mieli?
Buenas dias , Las Vegas, Nevada

Love the bass line. He nailed it.
Josh Turner, Everything you touch is gold. This is from a guy who still remembers the day 'love me tender' by Elvis came out.

Thank you guys for this awesome cover. Im 72 and Im crying so hard...brings back such great memories. ❤❤
I'll join the "Oldies" group at 73 years young. Also respect and love to these young musicians and their talent! I've been watching this young talented guitarist for a while when he post. Most folks our age know and love this song. Please....Keep it. A god given talent shouldn't be wasted!!
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE.
68 years old, love the song. So beautifully achieved through simplicity. If I'd heard this first, I'd have loved it just the same.
I am a believer. My name is Joe and I am a 67 year old musical entertainer by trade. (CENTRAL NEW YORK) I have been performing for the past 42 years. I did ok....Big fish in a little pond. My “older” brother Marshall turned me on to your brilliant sound and I am amazed. AMAZED !
Pure, fresh and authentic. You don’t cover songs you pay homage to them. Your incredible talent gives a song the respect it deserves. I love every song you post! You mere existence has allowed me to achieve my personal Mecca in my musical journey. I can now die a happy man.
Josh, Carson and friends.... Thanks for being.
Real singing, real instruments and melody. Gives me hope the world will survive.
It won't
But this IS nice
amen!
It's the best version I've ever heard of that song. The group is just fantastic.
They are amazing! I wish I had friends like them to play and have fun with!
This is a good cover but I highly recommend you watch the fendertones if you love beach boys covers. They are on a whole other level
I play this whenever I need a boost. Sometimes you just need to see someone enjoying their craft and company. Thanks for making me smile....again.
I never cease to be amazed at the talent and versatility of Josh Turner. He must be the most underrated talent of the day. And he finds such talented young people to perform with. If you need an uplift just find a Josh Turner vid. I discovered him when looking for Don't Think Twice Its Alright. His performance trumped Dylan's and make my eyes water.
Incredible talent - Another old fella -almost 71, living in Australia but grew up on Beatles, Beach Boys and other great music that you guys are keeping alive. Thank-your.
Great job gentlemen, I'm sure Brian, Carl,Dennis ,AL and Mike would give this their stamp of approval
Brian Wilson is a flipping genius. Guys, please do even more BB's.
I agree... they should do an entire album of all bb
Music Club Ripspiqué Lier Belgium Brian arranged it though. Incredible arrangement performed in astonishing harmony.
@@musicclubripspiquelierbelg4620 Agreed! But Brian is a genius nevertheless. :)
Worth noting The Beach Boys version was arranged by Al Jardine who never gets enough credit
@@musicclubripspiquelierbelg4620 Correct, but this very clearly is a "cover of the Beach Boys version"... Sounds almost better in its youthful freshness..
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess which guy was Garfunkel. One of the best things about Josh's channel is watching the smile on his face when it all comes together. Priceless. Keep it up! Enjoy these immensely.
👍🤣
This is a song that will cheer you up no matter what. It's impossible not to be happy hearing this.
"Ditto"
67 and never heard a better rendition. Keep up the great work guy's.
I had to watch this like 15 times to watch each instrument and vocal and beat and harmony to really believe that these kids covered this song so beautifully.
I'm not that talented, but yep. They did it.
@@The2ndFirst yes they did it beautifully. And I’m not that talented either. I think I can hit the high pitches HOUIST UP THE JOHN B SAIL! I love his talent. Perfection.
I'm 71 now. It is one of my favorite Beach Boys songs. These young men do a tremendous job with it. Thank you!
its heartwarming to see young guys like you appreciating classic rock songs. those were truly the days for great music.
A bunch of young people in the Zone.
Give us the best Trip we've ever been on.
Keep playing. Josh and Friends
You can see how much fun they are having. You can also see when they know they've nailed it. To me, that's the best.
Somebody said “just a bunch of nerds”......Gosh I wish I was one of those nerds!!! That was just spectacular!!!
I just love how these guys are true to the song. Not flashy, either. I’m a fan.
66 here and very impressed! A fantastic job of singing this song!! One of my favourite Beach Boys tunes! Keep it up!
That's fabulous! I'm Bob's mom - thank you for taking such good care of him on the road, you guys!!!
Sorry 45 times….. hard to believe that young people could cover this classic song so true, raw and authentically. The instrumental is great but the perfectly timed harmony kills it!! Absolutely perfect!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow. Not a weak link in the whole chain! Everyone performs great individually and as a band. Just great.
Such a clever bass line for this song. Not sure if it was Carol Kay or Brian who came up with it, but it’s such an original twist for an arrangement of a traditional folk song like this.
Also, IMPECCABLE cover. Just sterling. 😊
It's amazing how Rock and Roll influences the younger generation. That song is older than everyone in the band.
Heaven has one Helluva Rock'n'roll band. God bless music! The ultimate universal language.
Except for the guy playing drums...
One of the great covers to be found on RUclips.. Bright energy and so full of the classic old sound. Great to see and hear it again.
Everyone is saying the same thing....... It's fantastic to see these young guys singing our songs from the 60s. I graduated High school in 66, and this was my music. Good for these guys.
I can't get over how good these guys are I keep coming back every day to listen to them. To me they sound better than the original but don't get me wrong I love the beach boys
I lived not far from the Wilsons and my brother knew Carl. As a small kid i got to go to their house twice in the early 60's. Will never forget. Great job guys.
day tripper no way... what was it like being in there? Were they already trending at that point?
@@burner5673 They were just getting started. Was never in the house but in the front yard. The second and last time their father had just gotten home from work and yelled "Everybody go Home!!!!!" So long ago but i remember all 3 brothers but don't recall ever seeing Mike or Al.
I went to school with one of mike's daughters. that was interesting...
@@candykanefpv What state?
@@daytripper9222 california...
My grandfather was named John Boyer, and he loved to sail. He passed away this year at the age of 90. I'm listening to this video in his memory
Sail on, Sailor!
Amazing. For years Josh has my favourite RUclips artist. Not many people have his talent.brilliant
I agree
Fantastic version.
It’s such a relief to know that there are still some guys around who are keeping real music alive. Thanks for sharing!
That song is so hard to cover It brings tears to my eyes to see these young people nailing it.
I'm glad they had fun doing it I had a lot of fun listening to it.
God speed to all of you❤❤❤
Josh is definitely one of the best musicians I have seen in RUclips so far. All his live covers are nearly flawless and sound like perfect studio recordings with no AutoTune or pitch correction software in sight, while he is a fantastic guitarist, singer and acapella arranger all at the same time. Not to mention his musical tastes are diverse as well, from Chopin and choral music to Hendrix, The Beatles and The Beach Boys - you just cannot get better than that!
I've been watching him for years and finally get to see him live in January - extremely excited
agree
Yeah major talent
He must also be one of the best listeners. There are many with raw talent, but he has taste, and sort of knows when he can bring a special magic to a cover. Like, this above is just magical.
doobeedoo2. I agree, he is a musical thinker and not just another talented musician.
2:24 - the bit where they sing "this is the worst trip... i've ever been on"... that sounded exactly like the Beach Boys original. Perfect! Amazing cover - just makes me smile watching people play music with big grins on their faces!
All of the parts did really.
@@The2ndFirst yes that's true, wonderful
I was a teen when this came out and believe me, you guys just did a great job!!! Talent in spades!
You were a teen in the Bahamas in 1900?
Just a roomful of nerds making the world a better place. Thanks guys.
Haha. You stole my thoughts.
God I should be so Honored to be a Nerd. They are amazing artists.
Russell Durtschi Actually it's just a roomful of talented musicians and singers making the world a better place.
This band should be named Lambda Lambda Lambda
haha I'm a huge nerd too... and proud. This is a phenomenal cover of one of my favorite feel good songs.
@@danielueblacker9118 artists? Guys having fun maybe.
THAT -- HAS -- TO -- BE -- REALLLLY -- HARD! Incredible!
The guy in the hat and glasses has a fantastic voice for this song
Love the Beach Boys BUT this is BRILLIANT !!!
This video is a classic! People are going to be watching it for years and years. Thanks a lot guys for brightening up so many days!
Greatest cover in history, of any song ever, and maybe forever.
Quoting Josh at the conclusion of the song...."NICE!" VERY NICE, in fact! Guys, I have been a Beach Boys fan since the late 60's. The songs they have recorded are amazing works of art, with their finely woven, frequently 5-part harmony style for which Brian Wilson is so well known to compose. Rarely does anyone else's renditions of Beach Boys songs give me the same kind of "feel" that the actual "Beach Boys" recorded versions give me. I must say that I was surprised at how well you guys sounded on this tune. Not an "exact duplicate," which I do not think was your intent. But a version and style very much reminiscent of the original recording. Thoroughly LOVED IT! Gonna play it again now. Thank you!
Not Everyone can do a Beach Boys cover and do it justice like that. The perfectionism within their music makes it such a tough act to follow, not only their sound. Plus, the nostalgia they haul is unbeatable, but THAT, that reminded me of beach childhoods.
this is arguable one of the greatest songs ever written and you guys crushed it.. such a lovely rendition it was really nice to listen to. TY.
I have this video saved on my phone from Tiktok and show people all the time... This is the 1st time I've had it pop up on my RUclips Well done guys!!!!!!!!
66 year old guitar player here - awesome awesome job! Great to see this music still being performed and done so well!!! Thank you. Please keep it up.
These guys are really good, love it.
OMG! This is fantastic! I wish I had had people around me who could sing like this, years ago! You guys are wonderful! The best cover of Sloop John B. that I have ever heard! The Beach Boys should be very proud! Thank you for posting!
Greetings from Germany......wowwwww 😜😜😜....absolutly premium music!!! 🤩
That was great! All the harmonies and timing were spot on! Well done!
I've watched this countless times. Perfection.
Amazing guys! Great harmonizing! Even Brian would be proud!
I return to this video every so often. It always puts a smile on my face. So fun and so well done!
That put a smile on my face. Awesome cover!
Ok guys, you just made a grown man cry. Brian Wilson would be so proud of you.
Good stuff! As a "Boomer," and someone who remembers when that song hit the airwaves, I love that younger men and women are remaking the old classics. Please carry our music forward, and pass it along to your children!
The Incredible Harmony ! That was Awesome !
Man, I've must've watched this about 4 times now. So good!
I’ve been repeating this song the fkng whole day it’s just beautiful you want listening and listening again and again it’s just perfect song guys thanks you for so much
Growing up my brother and I listened to tons of Beach Boys (and many other 50's and 60's artists) while on family vacations. Great job. This took me back to simpler times.
Same here! On all my family's vacations we would listen to Beach Boys, John Denver, and the Beatles. So many of those songs remind me of our camping trips on Lake Michigan or our early trips to Cedar Point. I love this cover!
@@brentmoury6372 I live in Michigan! Where on Lake Michigan would you guys vacation?
Kick ass everything really but damn that falsetto was rich! Love it guys. Full speed ahead!
Holy Sh*t! Wow! What incredible talent.
Sweeeet!!! I know you love the Avett Brothers, Josh, and it appears they were having a lot of fun in their video, but this one is so much better.
I would legitimately pay to see this line up tour playing Pet Sounds live.
Oh, yes!!!!
More Pet Sounds
brilliant,love it!
I wouldn't. Free, yeah.
They sound amazing
When I'm feeling depressed about the politics and violence and racism in America, I come to this channel and listen to this song to cheer me up.
You need a daily dose of Dr. Steve Turley my friend. Check him out.
@@PanzerBuyer The "racism in America". Jesus! Would that be 'systemic racism" or "structural racism"? lol.
So nice to listen to this song. It was one of my favorite and also Tom Dooley.....
This is absolutely brilliant! It really puts a smile on my face, thanks so much!
Awesome. Josh is the such a gifted musician.
Nothing this kid touches is ever less than brilliant. What a talent I've been priviliged to see develop on You Tube. Thanks Josh
At 74 it's great to be hearing kids play these old songs! Go guys!
Absolutely nailed it! Such a meticulous cover played flawlessly, great job!
I've been listening to beach boys for pretty much my whole life and I gotta say, I'm really glad I found this!
probably watched this 15 times in the last 2 years.
That all? Did you not like it?
Awww guys for lighting up the world!
I ended up on this video from watching drag racing (don’t know how), looked at the title, the image & rolled my eyes thinking how crappy is this going to be. BLOODY AWESOME.. hope these guys make a living doing this kind of thing, because they deserve to 😊
Awesome guys! Nice to see young people singing songs from the past! Keep it going!
Continue to blown away by Josh and his friends. Impossible to exaggerate his contribution to music we all live by. Thanks so much Josh for your dedication to perfection. You are my hero in sound.
Absolutely beautiful lads well done 🏆👍
You've done the beach boys proud with that sweet cover.. awesome guys
When you aholes gonna get the bitch boys just covered this song
