I do hope the management of You Tube realise that what they have here is pure gold. I can't go a week without coming back to this awesome song sung and played by one hell of a talent.
This is my new favorite song. My daughter is just a year old and she just climbed up in my lap and sat through the whole song. I hope I never forget how warm my heart felt. Thank you for your time effort and energy.
Donald Esposito
Ty you for sharing it’s a great moment in time with your baby girl
Donald Esposito you will never forget. Beautiful moment
Donald... You’re a great dad. My kids are all grown. I remember those good feelings. Thanks for the reminder
Maybe as she gets older, teach her to sing it, or play it on an instrument.
Carson's voice had that affect on me too.
Carson's voice, coupled with the smoothness of his guitar, are exactly what Guy Clark was talking about, "Stuff that's real, stuff you feel.....STUFF THAT WORKS." It doesn't get more real than this!!
Nice Carson! Please do more Guy Clark!!!
❤❤❤🎉
Carson, this is one of my top favorites that you've done. Thanks!
Good Job Carson,,,, I've been following you and Josh for many years now! Merry Christmas --
Great song. Great freaking song. Well done! Watching this @ 0900 Saturday morning with my wife and 3yr old daughter. Already a great day! Cheers, from West Tennessee.
Josh gets more attention but Carson is a very talented person. His singing voice is exceptional and his guitar work is excellent. I'm happy to be a subscriber. He deserves more attention on RUclips for his own work. I always love his contribution to the music Josh offers. The two are a great pair of performers. We really are blessed these young performers are producing real music instead of the crap we find all over the place. Thanks Carson.
Solid Carson..and from the soul...so let the world of country music come alive again and unscrew those cowboy hats...
It was time for Carson to do his solo performances. He is a great musician and deserves his place in the sun.
Who else digs watching that tuned down drop D doing it’s little dance every time he strokes it just right. It’s the little things.
Me! Me!
I think he's using an Open C tuning....I think...so that big drop d is actually a booming C
As an intermediate player, not fully versed in alternate tunings, I did wonder what kind of witchcraft was at work here.
@@myfriendscallmeturk7568 Well, he's playing "D" shape chords (D, G, A7) while the guitar is tuned down a whole step, then the low "E" string is down another whole step to C. In other words, drop D tuning, with the whole guitar tuned down two frets. Drop C, iow. (God that's a rambling explanation - sorry.)
That’s not Drop D! Does anyone know Carson?? Thanks 🙏🏻
Absolutely beautiful! I first heard Guy Clark in 1974 been listening to his music since. Probably got to see him about 10 times, all great shows. Saw Verlon Thompson about a year ago, he told some great Guy stories. Keep up the amazing work Carson. Thanks
One of my favorite Guy Clark tunes. You certainly do it justice! Thank you..
Wow. Carson that's awesome. And it's the kind of music, talent, personality that America needs right now. Man, please do more. Thanks for your effort, time and sharing.
Wouaw, so beautiful song. Thanks Carson for this performance. Avignon/France
Absolutely brilliant... and what taste, dipping into Guy Clark.
Like Stardust...
Very very beautiful song, so is your performance guy ! Love from Avignon France
Carson i wish you,toni,josh and reina will get the place you guys deserve in music's world. You guys are so much talented. Wishing you'll be the music stars of our times from the bottom of the heart
The best I've ever heard that song. What a blessing. Thank you.
Awesomely deep guitar sound!
I could listen to you all day but especially when you sing Guy Clark. Beautiful!
Carson please do more of Guy's work. This is the best cover!
So good, I got chills. Thanks. That is my favorite song from Clark. Awesome and then some.
Brilliant voice, guitar skills and timing! This calls for a Limerick:
This young man's name is Carson McKee
and I think everyone will agree
that his musical skills
give you ecstatic thrills
and the pleasure remains steadily!
So true all of it
Love the way he sings.
Don't know what to add to your comment, but I can't stay silent. Such a talented young man. Listened to Hickory Wind and If I Could Only Fly before I heard this one. Amazing voice and guitarist
You and your contemporaries are making me happy even amid Covid-19.
So great to see you on your own once in a while Carson. Of of the talented people we are so blessed to see you with, you have the best singing voice. And I just love that slightly wry smile of your’s.
What a great performance, Carson. And what a pleasure seeing you on your own.
Thank you so much :)

Carson, you music artistry personifies the true of spirit of timeless folk music. Much, much appreciated!
This was stunning. Never heard the song before but was hooked instantly. What a talent.
I'm never disappointed with your vids Carson. Listening is just therapeutic
At 3:29 I wish whoever closed a guitar case didn’t cause it was loud on this recording. However, this guy is amazing and has a gift. Congratulations, you did this song justice.
The warts don't show at all! This was as good as Guy's version. You have such a great timbre in your voice, that resonates in my mind as I listen. I really appreciate the fact that in this era, I can see and hear new artists via RUclips, and you youngsters get public exposure that earlier generations fought to find! I am not big on technology, but this media is an exception! I'm already into the 4th quarter of my 1st century of life, but still have an appreciation for talent. Hang in there, son!
Guy Clark was a giant in the music world. Thanks for covering one of his best. Great job
This is what I reach for when I fall.
I hope you know how much you're loved by music lovers around the world Carson Mckee.
Excellent Carson!!! Loved it.
You truly hold your own, young man.
You own this song, brother. If I were you I'd never change that arrangement or key (love the tuning) - works perfect with your voice - stuff that works!
"You own this song, brother."
Exactly!
A pleasure to listen to.
You might just be my favorite thing on RUclips this year. Don't stop. You have a gift and you should absolutely share it.
Thank you. I love your voice and how you believe what you are singing. Flower in the City is beautiful. You are a poet.
I promoted a few Guy Clark gigs over here in the UK and had the pleasure of going out for a few drinks with him. I’m sure he’ll be smiling if he’s watching. It’s not easy to cover such personal material but in my opinionCarson, you knocked that out of the park.
What a great song this is. I can't stop playing it. it's stuck in my head all day long. not that that's a problem. Thank you Carson. :)
Oh Mercy, the Maestro will surely be smiling after this. ✌🏻❤️
Thank you for posting this. You sound so great. I hear a little bit of Rodney Crowell in your voice.
With each song you do, whether original or as a cover, I am hooked on listening to the whole thing inside the first few seconds. There’s real quality
in your singing and playing - as good as anyone I’ve heard in my 60+ years - and this one is just beautifully done.
Much to like about this video! The song, a Guy Clark tune, Carson's great voice, the guitar in classic drop D is awesome! Keep the fine work. Burlington Bill busking on the road and here on you tube.
So underrated. Keep up the good work, Carson.
I'm frustrated that I can only give this one Like. This is the best cover of this song.
Nicely done great song i love the words melody voice and guitar you are a very talented young man. I enjoy watching you and Josh thanks.
Excellent cover of a great song. RIP "Old No. 1"
Absolutely terrific Carson. The voice, the tuning, the guitar picking and above all the late Guy’s great songwriting ability. Thank you
In life, what really counts are the little things that are really big things. Thanks, Carson.
Well done. This does Guy real musical justice.
Wow, Carson, congratulations on the ONLY video on RUclips with ZERO thumbs down!!! And it's well deserved! I am completely flabbergasted. Keep up the awesome tunes you record, including your originals!
Love drop D tuning. It just thrums right down to your toes. Well done. 👍
Carson you have the most mellow voice and easy listening style i have ever heard. Love all the collaboration work with Josh but on your own it's pure magic.
One of the best Guy Clark songs. Carson, you do it justice. Very good job.
If you know Guy at all, you know what and who these words are about. And many of them can be seen in his artwork. A brilliant writer he was. And you sir, did a damn good job on this excellent song.
Thanks for posting! Great job on my favorite Guy Clark song.
I guess I have to thak you. I didn't know Guy Clark, now I do, and it's a big grace. You, perfect as always.
Very well, young man. VERY WELL DONE!!
Carson...you are the man. You sing with soul !! Thanks buddy
Carson, U R A BONAFIDE STUD! I've played this 10 times since I came across it 12 hours ago. I'm sure Guy Clark is smiling from up above at your cover ---- and giving you a double Thumbs up!
You know every once in a while RUclips recommendation gets it right... this was one of those times. I loved it, nothing pretentious about it just good honest music, the way music is meant to be heard in my opinion (maybe I am just getting old). Just a wonderful voice accompanied by an instrument with a quality sound. Thank you so much for this video and I look forward to following you...
You sing/play that fantastilicious buddy love ya style 🤘🍺
You have a wonderful voice. Guitar tone is awesome. Just a great performance.
Funny .. have watched your songs so many times ... always love them ..something honest and loving in them all ...
thank you for your beautiful version of this beautiful song by a great musician and songwriter. thank you.
Fantastic voice and wonderful guitar playing. Great job with a great song.
stuff that works and stuff that holds up ....
yes, the older I get the more I appreciate stuff like that ...
temporary things are fading now ....
so its the eternal things coming into view
it has been a while since i have stopped by - ❤
While I'm a huge fan, I didn't have the privilege of knowing Guy Clark personally, but I'm betting he would have approved of this cover. Fantastic.
Vielen Dank das Du dieses Genre so Klasse Interpretierst!
Sauguad und Megaschön
Thanks for that Carson. Its nice to hear you alone. Of course your voice is beautiful, but its really nice to be able to hear your guitar alone. Its got a beautiful tone.
I can't describe what this cover means to me, keep lovin' that guitar man.
Your music is heard in Serbia too.
Love Guy Clark songs and music. Magnolia Wind is one of my favorites of his.
Carson, another great cover rendition of an awesome musician that passed too soon.
One of my favorite covers from you Carson! Love many of them, but this one shines. I really like the Reina Del Cid one, of Harvest Moon also. And on and on! Thanks, from one McKee to another. :)
Absolutely adore your voice Carson and this is another example of how really wonderful and smooth it is... This is so great and another addition to my “Carson Collection”. Thanks so much for the videos, please keep putting them up. Buddy
Beautifully done ,Carson. So healing and inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
I got to see Guy Clark a few years back and his music cuts right to the soul. You very much did justice to that wonderful song.
First time I've ever heard this song, Carson -- thank you!! I love all your covers and originals! First saw you in here with Reina del Cid, and now want to listen to all your videos!! Beautiful voice and perfect guitar playing!❤️🌹👍
So happy to see new content on this channel again. Hope you now regularly upload because we definitely would love to hear more of you.
This song, your voice, touches my soul. Thank you so much for putting your music out here. :) Much love
You have an incredible voice ...it’s like red wine it will get better and better as the years go on ... pleases never stop singing
One of the best covers I ever heard on You tube. And I have heard a lot of music , played a lot as well. Way to go Carson .
Guy Clark was freaking amazing. And you and Josh are as well.
Like the tuning with the lowest string visually waving. What a wonderful song, thank you for your rendition, Carson!
Just such a natural voice and talent what a great cover of this song . Thankyou
I keep coming back to this. A fan from India.
Just came over after hearing your version of "If I could only fly" and I was compelled to like, sub and ring the bell..it's not even up for debate! Awesome, just awsome!
You so beautifully write, sing, and play, and your renditions of some of the old songs just warm my heart.
Works for me. Listening.........
I really enjoy listening to your covers, and your originals. This cover/tribute, in my opinion, is only one of your best. Big respect from small town, Virginia. Please keep up the good work.
Wonderful to listen, made me tear up. Love your voice. Thank you1
You have a lovely guitar style. Nothing wasted. 👍
Just adding to the plethora of other positive comments - such a good sound Carson. Really a joy to listen to.
So great, Carson! I love Guy Clark so much. You done him proud.
Beautiful, Carson.
Thank You 🙏
