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.
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!!
@@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.)
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Merci Carson for such a brilliant and genuine rendition! I’ll buy your records, go to your concerts and patreon for you. I think you are a world-class artist.
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.
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
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!
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.
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...
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!❤️🌹👍

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!!
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.

That’s not Drop D! Does anyone know Carson?? Thanks 🙏🏻
It was time for Carson to do his solo performances. He is a great musician and deserves his place in the sun.
Nice Carson! Please do more Guy Clark!!!
❤❤❤🎉
Absolutely brilliant... and what taste, dipping into Guy Clark.
Like Stardust...

Love the way he sings.

Solid Carson..and from the soul...so let the world of country music come alive again and unscrew those cowboy hats...
The best I've ever heard that song. What a blessing. 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.
I'm never disappointed with your vids Carson. Listening is just therapeutic
This was stunning. Never heard the song before but was hooked instantly. What a talent.
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
One of my favorite Guy Clark tunes. You certainly do it justice! Thank you..
Carson please do more of Guy's work. This is the best cover!
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
Wouaw, so beautiful song. Thanks Carson for this performance. Avignon/France
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!
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.
So good, I got chills. Thanks. That is my favorite song from Clark. Awesome and then some.
Awesomely deep guitar sound!
Excellent Carson!!! Loved it.
One of those song that just grabs your attention from the first note!
What a great performance, Carson. And what a pleasure seeing you on your own.
Thank you so much :)
Zs
Brother you just moved my soul.
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.
Great cover - a nice rearrangement of the version played by Guy Clark and Rodney Crowell. You should post on your own page more often!
You truly hold your own, young man.
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.
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 could listen to you all day but especially when you sing Guy Clark. Beautiful!
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.
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.
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.
Carson I love the way you sing the song stuff that works I play it all the time
Good Job Carson,,,, I've been following you and Josh for many years now! Merry Christmas --
Absolutely terrific Carson. The voice, the tuning, the guitar picking and above all the late Guy’s great songwriting ability. Thank you
Well done. This does Guy real musical justice.
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. :)
Quelle voix magnifique ! Cela donne la chair de poule ! Superbe ! Bravo
You so beautifully write, sing, and play, and your renditions of some of the old songs just warm my heart.
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.

Wonderful 🎶smooth voice 💫✨☀️
Great song!
I'm frustrated that I can only give this one Like. This is the best cover of this song.
You and your contemporaries are making me happy even amid Covid-19.
Hi from Australia Carson. Magic stuff mate. I will follow your journey and I wish you every success!
You have me, subscribed. Thanks for posting.
Fabulous, just fabulous!

You are an amazing young man, with a voice that grabs your soul and doesn't let go!

I could listen to this over-and-over.
A voice as smooth as butter
You might just be my favorite thing on RUclips this year. Don't stop. You have a gift and you should absolutely share it.
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 .
Thank you for posting this. You sound so great. I hear a little bit of Rodney Crowell in your voice.
Like the tuning with the lowest string visually waving. What a wonderful song, thank you for your rendition, Carson!
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!
Carson, you're the real deal. Incredible talent!
