Was going to type the same thing. I bought one of Josh's album, really great song writing. The musical talent is through the roof. His buddy has a good voice too.
Josh has an entire music ecosystem. He is kind of the leader of the pack. What I love about him is that he is happy to sit back and make his friends look good. And what fabulous harmonies on this. And like Flo Gure below pleasantly surprised to see you doing a reaction video to their music.
To be fair, Josh is quite talented, but Carson is certainly no slouch. If you haven't already, go check out some of his solo stuff on his channel. It's really excellent! Cheers!
Josh was the "early bloomer" for guitar prowess, but I would say he has been chasing Carson with respect to lyrics for years. The cool thing is that now Josh is now writing great lyrics, and if you watch Carson's solo work - he is confident in showing his flatpicking chops. And then when you look at Carson and Reina del Cid's video production skills, they have also learned or been motivated to catch Josh (who was always the video production master). They have all been raising their game during Covid.
Oh my goodness. Two of my worlds are colliding. Never expected you to react to Josh & Carson. Absolutely love them and there are soo many more videos for you to discover!
I had always wanted to learn how to play guitar and at 46 thought it was too late. Then I watched Josh Turner play Graceland . A video he put out six years ago, and I subscribed to his channel. I have a lot of guitar heroes but that video made me think " I can't die without learning to do that" Now I can, not perfect yet but I am having a blast. He was my biggest influence to pick up the guitar.
That’s the video that made me discover him too and made me think picking up the guitar again to learn challenging songs was within the realm of possibility!
I know its been 11 months since you posted but hopefully your still trying to play. Just know 10 1/2 years ago at 44 i picked up the guitar and haven’t let it go,You can do it!!
@@Guitargate Carson's little brother Skylar might even have better vocals. Check out their cover of Up On Cripple Creek. ruclips.net/video/OLtOKOD0mUY/видео.html
Absolutely this. I've been listening to Josh do stuff for years now on his original channel name and even now...that song is one of my favorite covers he's done, and the humor of the housekeeping knocking on the door is amusing.
Yes, please have Josh and Carson on the channel!! Two of my favorites for sure. There is almost nothing that they (and all of their friends) don’t do with excellence, as well as some fun thrown in along the way, which is much appreciated these days!
I'm not musically inclined at all, but it is so entertaining to watch a musician appreciating another musician (two in this case). Just seeing the joy on your face as you react to the music makes me feel more alive and in touch with what matters on this rock spinning through space.
I just want to thank you again for doing these videos. I love the way you go about teaching the theory, but the best part is when you capture the emotions of these songs. The songs are enjoyable, the lessons are enjoyable, and most of all you, sir, are a joy to watch. This channel has reignited my passion for music and playing music. I lost it for awhile and I missed it. You gave me music back and I thank you so much. I laugh and cry a lot of times in the same video. I always feel better than I did before I watched. I wish I had a guitar teacher like you when I was starting out. Sorry, for the long comment, but I just had to thank you again. You should have a million subs easy. Keep up the great work, you are appreciated!!
Michael! You _gotta_ review _anything_ that Toni Lindgren plays. She's one of the best guitarists out there now, female or male. Here's a link to one of her originals (played on a gorgeous guitar handmade just for her) ruclips.net/video/WiUpvhU2kXU/видео.html Plus, she's a total sweetie-pie!
In SF at @ "Neck of the Woods " ? It was a great show. My hope is that when the world returns to normal, they play 'Hardly Strictly Bluegrass". In fact, I'll work out the bill for one of the stages myself. 1. Solo Acoustic - Skylar McKee, 2. Reina del Cid and Tony, 3. AJ Lee & Blue Summit , 4. The Other Favorites 5. Molly Tuttle, 6. Everyone on stage for a group encore. I can dream ...
I've been watching Josh play guitar on YT since he was 14? Used to make covers in his college dorm room with talented female singers. Carson and Josh tour a lot with Reina Del Cid and Tony Lundgrin(sp). I first learned about live stream music from watching Reina and Tony do a Sunday morning show every week. So I'm forever thankful for her showing me about this great music platform. Tony is a killer guitar player as well. Thanks, Micheal.
These guys are honestly so good! Their covers are incredible, but their originals are just as good if not BETTER! Go check out The Levee, The Ballad of John McRae and especially Angelina!!!
YES! Been waiting for you to do a video on Josh and Carson for a while now! So glad you've been tuning in to them, the world deserves to know more of them. Hope you've seen either 1) their live performance of Angelina, or 2) Carson's live version of Flower In The City. Much love, Michael!
those two and their friends are some of the most talented musicians out here on YT, and anywhere. they are so creative but respect the original works while being so.
Discovered Josh and Carson then Reina and Tony shortly after been big fan of them all ever since. Great musicians who we may never have had a chance to enjoy if not for social media..... that is what it is supposed to be for!
Not surprised to find you reviewing these guys. Just discovered your channel a few months back but I’ve been listening to Josh and Carson for many years. Josh Turner seems to be a magnet that draws so many talented people into his orbit. SO many great collaborations
I love watching you react to these type of songs! just as a fan of music and a frustrated wanna be musician. My son taught himself to play bass about three years ago, and now he wants to understand theory and song structure a little better-your channel is the perfect vehicle for us to have that conversation-and learn some new tunes. Thank you!
The whole pack of them are excellent, Josh, Reina Del Cid, Carson, and Toni, all of them. I have been trying to talk to one of them to see if I can get them down to Houston to do a concert, but they aren't that great at getting back in touch. They're probably happy doing what they are doing anyway.
I discovered Josh & company a few months ago. What talent, they must have 100's of videos out there and every one is gold! Yes I agree, "the best of the best on youtube" what more can be said!
i'm a wicked big fan of these guys, and when i saw them live in nov 2019 in westerly rhode island, i was blown away by how good, or some might even say better, they are live. would love to see more of them on the channel!
Yes! I heard these guys years ago when I used to travel to North Caroline for a week every two months for work, this is where they started before moving to New York, and they were as amazing then as they are now. People who learned to play front porch style in the spirit of bluegrass and blues of the south are just the best to me. Thanks for covering them!
Hey Michael! I don’t know how I haven’t discovered your gem of a channel until now cos this is awesome! I feel like we’re just having a chat over coffee and vibing about great music and awesome guitar. Keep it up, I’ll keep watching ;)
I saw them perform this song in London last year. They are an Incredible duo who actually enhance an already classic song. f you have a chance to see them live then please do!
Bruce is one of those artists that I've never been able to get into because of his voice. Have somebody else play do a cover and his songs quickly become some of my favorites. This is a perfect example of that haha. Plus Josh and Carson are LEGIT.
Good video. Thanks for sharing. I'm also a fan of Josh and Carson and have been for more than a couple of years now. I'm amazed at how Josh attracts so much talent from other people (and not just Carson) to him to make gem videos. The other quality, I admire about Josh and that is he lets other people shine and doesn't try to grab all the glamour.
These guys are truly amazing, and I'm a huge Springsteen fan. I do a slow and sad cover of Dancing in the Dark as well as Tougher Than the Rest in my sets. Such an incredible songwriter!
Ive seen those two several times and always thought they were good, now I realise they are REALLY good. But, the Big thing I learned, I should go back to listen to Bruce. Great video! Really enjoyed it
These two guys have other great stuff, some of which is original and no less inspiring than their covers. The combination of your reactions and Guitar Gate lessons equal top tier, online instruction, thanks Michael.
Woah, hey, thanks for the feature!!
And well deserved it was Carson! I'm as happy to see this as you are!. Love from Charlotte😊😊😊😊
You are amazing!!
So deserved
You have some great work. You also have a great network of other musicians to collaborate with. Keep going. I'll be listening.
I am so so glad to see Carson and Josh getting some love. They deserve it so much.
So true
Was going to type the same thing. I bought one of Josh's album, really great song writing. The musical talent is through the roof. His buddy has a good voice too.
Yep they do, great to see them here.
^this^
For real , they are amazing. Especially their country/bluegrass type covers are amazing.
Josh's cover of Sultans of Swing from 100 years ago when he was a baby immediately transformed me from a guitar player to a guitar owner.
Everyone talks about how great Josh is and that he plays so many things, and that's true....but what about Carson's vocals?? Always soooo good!!
Carson's voice is one of a kind, old fashion beauty and style :)
@@agataszoltysek9298 Absolutely! I love Carson! His recording/mixing/mastering are top notch too...
I love watching Carson sing! His facial expressions are top form! (Other than his singing obviously)
Carson will be tomorrow’s Sinatra.
It takes 2 to tango!

Exactly. The man's a goddamn legend. It's simply ridiculous how many people he's performed with and in so many styles. And all top-notch stuff.
Let's not forget Reina and Toni, absolute legends!
Oh my goodness. Two of my worlds are colliding. Never expected you to react to Josh & Carson. Absolutely love them and there are soo many more videos for you to discover!
YES!
@@Guitargate the ballad of john mccrae is definitely worth a reaction, lots of good guitar stuff by josh on that one!
Angelina, Nebraska Dreams , Flawless Recording ... name it. Those twp guys are amazing
Had the same reaction!
@@Guitargate can you please react to their cover of Black Velvet? ruclips.net/video/QqWtthJXp8k/видео.html

graceland is absolutely one of his best covers
That’s the video that made me discover him too and made me think picking up the guitar again to learn challenging songs was within the realm of possibility!
If you managed to learn that my hat is off to you. His playing is out of this world on that one.
I know its been 11 months since you posted but hopefully your still trying to play. Just know 10 1/2 years ago at 44 i picked up the guitar and haven’t let it go,You can do it!!
I don't know all the technical musical stuff but I like what I hear from Josh Turner, Carson McKee, Reina del Cid and Toni Lingren. All top-notch!
They are all awesome
So glad you are covering these guys. Josh is simply amazing!
AGREED!
@@Guitargate Carson's little brother Skylar might even have better vocals. Check out their cover of Up On Cripple Creek. ruclips.net/video/OLtOKOD0mUY/видео.html
@@Guitargate you should check out ladybug by Josh Turner. A simply incredible original
@@Guitargate check out josh doing Elenaor Rigby. Amazing arrangement. Not a song you’d expect someone to cover solo with an acoustic.
You said it: BEST OF THE BEST ON RUclips!!! Josh and Carson’s covers are perfection. I’m glad you gave them some love.
Josh and Carson are 2 of the best musicians going on RUclips, Reina and Toni too.
Coffee cheers! Reina del Cid represent 🤘
Josh covering Still Crazy After All These Years is one of my all time favorite videos on RUclips! So cool you showed some of their stuff
Absolutely this. I've been listening to Josh do stuff for years now on his original channel name and even now...that song is one of my favorite covers he's done, and the humor of the housekeeping knocking on the door is amusing.
Josh and Carson are tremendous musicians who deserve the praise and hopefully this helps them get noticed by more people.
I love Carson's voice.
The other favorites (Carson and Josh's project) is such a great duo. They deserve all the love they can get.
These guys are great. Between them and Reina and Toni, it's how I've gotten through the last year!
Same here - RdC ❤️
Josh and Carson tend to make every song they decide to grace with their playing an absolute masterpiece
I found these guys from watching Josh's sultans of swing cover. Insanely talented guys. Always love to see these guys.
Their version of Baby Driver is also absolutely stunning...Highly recommend👍🏻
True!
I second that. Amazing!
Yes, please have Josh and Carson on the channel!! Two of my favorites for sure. There is almost nothing that they (and all of their friends) don’t do with excellence, as well as some fun thrown in along the way, which is much appreciated these days!

When something is this beautiful and this pure, no words can answer. Only smiles and tears.
You MUST MUST check their version of Bob Dylon's "Don't think twice, it's alright" .... what a masterpiece!
These guys are awesome musicians. Especially Josh. There’s nothing he can’t play
He’s amazing!
I enjoy watching experts say nice things about performances I love.
Saw them in NC and llayed a song my daughter yelled out. A forever memory for her. Also her first concert. Couldn't have been a better night.

Also his Slidin' Delta.
The harmonization in that one!
These guys are great! The singer has such a terrific voice. Musically beautiful to my ears. Thanks Michael!
You have to watch Angelina by them! The solo is absolutely insane
Thank you! I’ve been following these guys for a long time they are amazing!
Beautiful how you improvised a lead from 06:07, adds in beautifully! wow!
Ah I love Josh and Carson so much, great to have a video about them!
Love Josh and Carson. They’re so talented. So glad you recognize and promote their talent
These two are great... together and solo!
I saw these guys in California with Reina and Toni Lindgren... great show and those girls can sing and play too ...

I would very much like to see a Josh & Carson react video to this react video which means picture-in-picture-in-picture. Great job all of you !
When Michael starts playing lead around minute 6’ he sounds amazing. I wish he would play the whole time. We need more videos of just Michael playing
Wow, so cool to see Carson and Josh on your channel!!
So much love for this video and these three guys !! Thanks Micheal 🤩
Check out- Josh Turner- Loves Me Like A Rock - Paul Simon Cover (Full Band)
Josh absolutely nails it in that video!
@@bgrigg07 Josh pretty much nails every single song he takes on
All his Paul Simon covers are wonderful
These guys are honestly so good! Their covers are incredible, but their originals are just as good if not BETTER! Go check out The Levee, The Ballad of John McRae and especially Angelina!!!
And Nineteen and Aimless!
Among the new ones, Cherry Wine is killer too.
Please have them on and interview them. The Frankie Valli medley and "Only Living Boy in New York" videos have been heavy in my rotation for awhile.
FINALLY!!! these guys are so good. you can find some other amazing stuff on their youtube channel!
YES! Been waiting for you to do a video on Josh and Carson for a while now! So glad you've been tuning in to them, the world deserves to know more of them. Hope you've seen either 1) their live performance of Angelina, or 2) Carson's live version of Flower In The City. Much love, Michael!
I think I saw that guy rip little wing on a mandolin.
...dudes are, insane.
Cheera
those two and their friends are some of the most talented musicians out here on YT, and anywhere. they are so creative but respect the original works while being so.
Josh plays a great accompaniment to His friends singing, well he sings too, for cover of Valerie.
LOVE THESE TWO!!! And love when the sing with Reina and Toni too! Soooo much talent in these young gents!!!
Josh and Carson are both great and worth following. Been watching them for 6+ years now
Carson is one of my favorite voices! These two are sooo talented!
Discovered Josh and Carson then Reina and Tony shortly after been big fan of them all ever since. Great musicians who we may never have had a chance to enjoy if not for social media..... that is what it is supposed to be for!
Been watching Josh and Carson for several years. How they aren't big names yet is beyond me.
Tks for explaining why this cover and this Springsteen songs has stuck with me since I first heard it! 👍👍

Such a duo. These guys kill it everytime
Love those guys! They’ve done some nice collaborations with Reina del Cid, who are very much worthy of getting to know.
These guys and the other musicians they collaborate with are tops! I've been following them a few years now.
Been following them for years. Great vid
My fav comment from one of their videos ... "this is what John and Paul would have looked like had You Tube been around in their youth"
Carson voice is gold.
This is THE Josh Turner reaction I was looking for.
I reaction to Carson's version of "A Simple Twist of Fate" would be awesome! That's one of my very favorites of his.
Michael you are so positive and passionate. I love it. How about some more Shakey Graves someday?
I saw them perform this song in London last year. They are an Incredible duo who actually enhance an already classic song. f you have a chance to see them live then please do!
Mike, great video of you playing...You're right...Josh and Carson...Apart performing, incredible. Jamming together? Even better...
Congrats mate. Such a generous and attentive critique.
Worlds colliding!!! I love both of these channels.
What’s not to love here?! I recommend Josh’s sweet and lowdown cover of Blues Run the Game (Jackson C. Frank ca. 1965).
I discovered Josh and Carson from an acoustic blues cover Josh did on youtube. They are my Other Favorites.
These 2 are so good. Infectious love for music. Been watching them for a while. I find them inspirational.
I love the music these two make.
Bruce is one of those artists that I've never been able to get into because of his voice. Have somebody else play do a cover and his songs quickly become some of my favorites. This is a perfect example of that haha.

| loved loved loved how much you enjoyed these two
This was amazing! I also love Town Mountains cover of the same song. And of course great explinations from the Palm himself!
Thanks for covering these guys. They are doing really great work in the RUclips music world...as are you.
Josh & Carson inspired me to start uploading my own covers. I was thrilled to see you react to them.
