Hey Paul, when for a collab with Josh Turner? Looking forward for this, you cannot imagine. So nice work Mary, you all gathering is so exciting to see and to hear! Cheers from France.
Josh, just to show how much your music is moving folks, I'll share this with you...My dad is almost 86 years old, and in poor health. He used to play and sing a lot in his younger years. Now he sleeps most of the days away, and my mom can't find anything that will motivate him to get up. I visited them a couple of weeks ago, and pulled up your videos on YT, and started playing them loud so my dad could hear it back in his bedroom. We were in the living room. After about the 2nd one we watched, here comes my dad shuffling into the living room to watch....we watched over an hour's worth of your videos, and he stayed wide awake listening and appreciating your music. My mom said to him, now I know how to get you up! Thanks for sharing your broad range of musical styles....dad really loved the older songs he used to sing, i.e. Tennessee Waltz, Folsom Prison Blues, Hey Good Lookin, and the older country stuff. Thanks again, and please keep 'em coming!
Say what you want about the oft-maligned algorithm, it managed to bring two of my favorite musicians on RUclips together, whom I discovered on two completely independent paths. Even 20 years ago, this possibility would be nothing short of a miracle, but today we can bring two harmonious talents in a cacophonous sea together. What a fantastic time to be alive.
I hadn't heard of Josh Turner until this week. Then he shows up playing with two of my favorites: Mary and Reina del Cid. Now I'm reading a comment from you, Rhett, another of my favorites. I guess my preferences in music are more consistent than I thought.
I remember watching this guy's cover of Sultans of Swing years ago and spending weeks learning it note by note, he's come a long way since then, and he deserves it.
i am a gigantic Brandi Carlile fan and started watching prepared to be disappointed, but actually ended up liking it better than the original. Way to go!
I’ve known Josh all his life & have loved his music. I just heard Mary for the first time & love her as if I’d known her forever. What a beautiful song & collaboration. You two need to collaborate on a complete album of songs. Your voices are perfect together. Wow! Congratulations on a hit!
Mary, when you collaborate with people like Josh and Leo, they pull a level of performance out of you that is astronomically fantastic. There is a synergy there, when you collaborate with the best of the best, they make YOU the best, too. Please, don't wait for them to ask you to collaborate with in 2020, instead, bring your best to the table and ASK THEM to collaborate with you.... your voice is an exceedingly rare and pure commodity, and your money maker. Find fantastic sound engineers and producers to mix your work too... I see huge stars in your future, if you do so.
I've been following Josh for, like, forever, and now I've seen and heard Mary and her angelic voice! This brought tears to my eyes. Josh, you are truly finding your voice!
Bonjour @Maryspender Wow ! What an amazing performance ! I follow Josh on YT for years now and saw he was around... Just a click and i arrived on your channel to hear yor beautiful version... Wow ! Merci beaucoup ! Much love from France 💐
This is one of the best formats for Mary Spender where she carries most of the singing and gets a lot of help with guitar. It comes out really beautiful that way. They other best is what she did with Sultans of swing with Leo doing Metal and her doing Mary Spender, that was genius.
Fully agree, this is one of Mary's very, very best collaborations. As well as Sultan's of Swing. Her voice, when she goes there, at times, reminds me of Judy Collins. Soooo, sooo pure!
Your faces express same amount of emotions as your guitars and voices. What a pleasure to listen and look at you. Sorry Josh! I'd rather look at Mary):
Never heard this song... I don’t know if I would like to listen to the original... I am afraid to find out a pale shadow of your beautiful version! Thank you! Thanks Josh for helping us finding real wonderful artists all over the network!
Mary, Josh, Over a few years I have created playlists of hundreds, if not thousands, of music videos on youtube that span many decades and genres, not to mention non-music videos on a variety of other topics I am also interested in. I have realized that it has reached the point that if I watch them all day every day until I am 90 years old, I won't get to them all. So, I ask you, how am I supposed to even put a dent in that effort when I can't help coming back to your videos -- especially this one -- several times a week to listen to it three or four times in a row? Thank you, I guess. (Why do you both have to be so good?)
"And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true..." I'm so excited to see two of my favorite musicians find each other. This was so cool. I hope you two sat down for a good old fashioned Chewsday Tawk.
Oh my gosh! I can't type anything except: Thank You, that's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen/heard. Plz stand by whilst I find my box of tissue to dry my eyes.
Thanks to RUclips for making things like this accessible! Josh Turner is an amazingly competent musician. What's he going to be like when he's fifty! Mary Spender plays so wonderfully also. It's also cool that these two and others like Paul Davis and Rick Beato mix it up!
Of all of your female collaborations Josh (and there have been quite a few, lol), Mary is my favorite. Well along with Reina Del Cid. You and Mary compliment each other perfectly.
Two of my favorite RUclipsrs collaborating.....Equals Mind Blown. Soooooo Good!!! If someone watches this and doesn't feel something then they have no soul.
A beautiful song and agreat duet! Hi Mary, I am very happy to say that I have just discovered your channel, and I love your music and your viewpoint on music in general. I have been following Josh turner for a couple of years now, And this duet between the two you is awesome! I am a 70 year old guy n Canada who has been playing guitar for over 55 years now, fighting the arthritis in my hands lately, but still with a huge love of music and musicians. Looking forward to hearing much more from you. Keep up the great work!
Dear Mary and Josh, your performance of this beautiful Brandi song is so inspirational. Even after listning many many times it touches me. I hope (Josh)your show in november 2021 in Amsterdam will go on.......and besides Carson, Reina and Tony please bring Mary as well. Best musical regards, Marcel
I don't recall hearing two musicians who were so in synch with each other since the Everley Brothers. When Josh comes in at 0:12 it fits so seamlessly with Mary's playing that it sounds like more of the same instrument. And their voices and diction match perfectly. I know that Josh is great at picking up various singing styles, but he seems to have a natural match here. Even more so than with Carson.
I'm speechless. There is so much to unpack here - you played and sang flawlessly. As a guitarist, I know how hard it is to keep that rhythm and to be able to harmonize so well at the end, brilliant. Mary, I've already mentioned how deep and soulful your alto voice is and you sing this soothing soft soprano here. Josh, that register with "i belong to you" was the highlight of the song for me.
Wow. I stumbled onto Josh about 6 months ago on You Tube and started to listen to and watch his guitar playing/singing. He just has that innocent look and comes across so musically pure. I also stumbled across Mary several months back and watched several of her informative acoustic guitar sessions as I have dusted off my old Guild after a 35 year layoff and an trying to learn. However, I had never heard her sing until now. Where have you been hiding that great voice. Fantastic!!! The tow of you together sound great.
The lower register of her voice is incredibly convincing. Depth and conviction in that sound. Kind of haunting at times. Really great job guys. Love when you sing together

So glad to finally work with you, Mary. May there be many more in the future.
Haceme un hijo bien de a poco, Joshua Lee Turner.
Hi Josh, are you using an OM 28 too?
Yes, please, Josh. Your voices blend very well, great performance.
So cool to see you two together. I hope you do more.
I'm also glad to see this as I follow you both on here!
awesome
Why do all my favorite artists know each other

jmccullah thank you so much for sharing that. All the best to you and yours for 20202!
Lovely story health to your father
Josh Turner Guitar
Outstanding👍
So cool about your dad! ❤️❤️
jmccullah, THANK YOU for sharing that. Comments like yours are why I'm addicted to ALWAYS exploring the comment section ... AFTER watching YT.
Say what you want about the oft-maligned algorithm, it managed to bring two of my favorite musicians on RUclips together, whom I discovered on two completely independent paths. Even 20 years ago, this possibility would be nothing short of a miracle, but today we can bring two harmonious talents in a cacophonous sea together. What a fantastic time to be alive.
It's hard to imagine how much work went into making this seem so effortless.
Josh Turner AND Mary Spender! This is like Christmas!!!!!
this is Christmas (2019)
And now, Christmas 2021, not exactly what we planned for, but it’s here!!
Xmas 2022, still hits!!
Love this, I feel a transatlantic collaboration coming on.
I just watched you play some killer guitars! lol
If anyone can see quality, Rhett, you can.... Hook 'em up with Rick Beato, and a songwriter out of Nashville that needs a new song showcased?
I hadn't heard of Josh Turner until this week. Then he shows up playing with two of my favorites: Mary and Reina del Cid. Now I'm reading a comment from you, Rhett, another of my favorites. I guess my preferences in music are more consistent than I thought.
I'm trying to find words to describe how I felt watching this and all I can think is
W O W
Exactly
Took the word right out of my mouth!!
me too
Oh hi 👋
Eliana Hershberg hi honey 😂
For me, this is literally one of the best acoustic performances in the RUclips history
Cant agree more!!
Amen to that.
Aye!
Can you imagine? Without RUclips we would never hear this kind of performance. !
Dude takes the high harmony at the end...what a boss
Now I understand why RUclips recommended Mary Spender to me! Josh Turner is also how I discovered Reina del Cid.
I discovered Josh through Reina. We must have similar tastes.
Funny, I discovered Josh and Reina through Mary.
Josh is one of my favourite guitar players on RUclips right now - great to see you two collab.
Wow that was fun to listen to great job
I remember watching this guy's cover of Sultans of Swing years ago and spending weeks learning it note by note, he's come a long way since then, and he deserves it.
I have been married to my love for 48 years and I just found our song!
The amazing talent RUclips has exposed to the whole world.!!
This performance is criminally underviewed. Fantastic.
i am a gigantic Brandi Carlile fan and started watching prepared to be disappointed, but actually ended up liking it better than the original. Way to go!
I’ve known Josh all his life & have loved his music. I just heard Mary for the first time & love her as if I’d known her forever. What a beautiful song & collaboration. You two need to collaborate on a complete album of songs. Your voices are perfect together. Wow! Congratulations on a hit!
Agreed. I would buy this new work, in an instant.
Excellent 👍.
Mary, when you collaborate with people like Josh and Leo, they pull a level of performance out of you that is astronomically fantastic. There is a synergy there, when you collaborate with the best of the best, they make YOU the best, too. Please, don't wait for them to ask you to collaborate with in 2020, instead, bring your best to the table and ASK THEM to collaborate with you.... your voice is an exceedingly rare and pure commodity, and your money maker.

Please fall in love and get married. Stay together forever. We need more songs like this... and babies that make songs like this for our children!
Well, I don't but if I had to guess I'd say these two have a 'thing" for each other. And why not; they're freaking adorable.
This song shows the passion of Mary Spender, I think it is one of her best.
How you guys arranged the guitar for this song is truly amazing
Folk magic!
Very nice collaboration! You watch enough RUclips music videos, you find Josh Turner playing with all the up-and-coming artists.
Dream duo. Two of my favourite singers/guitarists in the same video is more than I can handle.
Seems like every time Josh does a new collaboration I think “well, this is clearly the best one yet.” Well, this is clearly the best one yet. Sublime.
I love your voice Mary... Josh the perfect match, the music world needs more from you two
I think Josh's voice and playing matches perfectly with everyone! And Mary's voice is beautiful, so this is a match made in heaven.
Finally! the two finest and most talented RUclips singers / musicians together!!!
Brandi Carlile's original song is beautiful. This version gives me 5 minutes of non-stop goosebumps.
Do you ever just break down and cry at the sheer beauty of a song midway through a performance? Asking for myself.
Joshua Londero,
No -- not "midway". (Quite a bit before midway, actually.)
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever experienced in my life.
Holy friggin balls that was incredible. Mary's voice and Josh's shredding at the end. Doesn't get any better.
This is a true power (music) ~coulple~ duo
I've been following Josh for, like, forever, and now I've seen and heard Mary and her angelic voice! This brought tears to my eyes. Josh, you are truly finding your voice!
Today, someone asked me what day it is. I replied Chewsday and even said it like Mary. This channel has made its way into my deeper conscious.
STONE COLD FACT: Josh Turner makes every artist he works with better.Good choice Mary.
P. S. Check out his collaboration on Morse Code.
Absolutely! I think Mary and Reina have much in common, simple clarity and purity in their songwriting. Josh fits well with both.
Bonjour @Maryspender
Wow ! What an amazing performance ! I follow Josh on YT for years now and saw he was around...
Just a click and i arrived on your channel to hear yor beautiful version... Wow !
Merci beaucoup !
Much love from France 💐
I think i speak for everyone when i say we wan't more of you and Josh.
My bird loves it, and so do I!❤️
This is one of the best formats for Mary Spender where she carries most of the singing and gets a lot of help with guitar. It comes out really beautiful that way. They other best is what she did with Sultans of swing with Leo doing Metal and her doing Mary Spender, that was genius.

After making such beautiful music together, you must be left on an incredible emotional high.
Your faces express same amount of emotions as your guitars and voices. What a pleasure to listen and look at you. Sorry Josh! I'd rather look at Mary):
Simon and Garfunkle better watch out!! Super harmonies and guitar work - very special!!
One of the prettiest song I have ever heard. I need it every day. Thank you.
These two belong on everyone's playlist.
Accented each other nicely without either one overpowering the other.
this duet made me so happy... following you both for a while, didn't see it coming. Magical!
Never heard this song... I don’t know if I would like to listen to the original... I am afraid to find out a pale shadow of your beautiful version!
Thank you! Thanks Josh for helping us finding real wonderful artists all over the network!
The original is way more country sounding, especially with its orchestration.
richard koo so I will stay with this :]
I don't even know this song but these two get my neck hairs up on edge.
Both songs with Josh were a new way of seeing you, Mary. Totally phenomenal!
@Badger BadgerBadger One on Mary's channel, one on Josh's channel.
Good grief, that is so lovely. I love the complementary guitar voicings with the open and 7th fret capo. Stunning, really. Just stunning.
The harmonies are exquisite.
Your voices work really well together.
Mary, Josh,
Over a few years I have created playlists of hundreds, if not thousands, of music videos on youtube that span many decades and genres, not to mention non-music videos on a variety of other topics I am also interested in. I have realized that it has reached the point that if I watch them all day every day until I am 90 years old, I won't get to them all.

This is like heaven - at least as I think it must be.
If I have to have a song stuck in my head, it may as well be this one. So good. Hope Brandi Carlile approves too.
Pure magic. Something extraordinary is happening here!
Claudio Pinto,
Especially at 4:35 .
Wow, what a voice you have Mary Spender!
My God I like Mary's voice.
Josh and Mary, as good as it gets!
The two of you work beautifully together, looking forward to your next joint venture.
This is about my sixth listen....just gets better with each. And those two Martins sound really beautiful together just as the human voices do :0)
Wow... that was way better than I was expecting.
"And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true..."
I'm so excited to see two of my favorite musicians find each other. This was so cool. I hope you two sat down for a good old fashioned Chewsday Tawk.
Oh my gosh! I can't type anything except: Thank You, that's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen/heard. Plz stand by whilst I find my box of tissue to dry my eyes.
No matter if there is a better cover than this one, I will always love this version.
Loved it! Excellent!
Loved it, Brilliant, Found by accident bookmarked forever
You two really need to make an album together. Simply, beautiful. Thanks.
Seeing two of my favorite RUclipsrs covering this song. Amazing.
Thanks to RUclips for making things like this accessible! Josh Turner is an amazingly competent musician. What's he going to be like when he's fifty! Mary Spender plays so wonderfully also. It's also cool that these two and others like Paul Davis and Rick Beato mix it up!
i'm 55 beginner guitar and a few of Josh's songs have been my inspiration.
Of all of your female collaborations Josh (and there have been quite a few, lol), Mary is my favorite. Well along with Reina Del Cid. You and Mary compliment each other perfectly.
Two of my favorite RUclipsrs collaborating.....Equals Mind Blown. Soooooo Good!!! If someone watches this and doesn't feel something then they have no soul.
A lovely interpretation of a great Brandy Carlile song
This is one of the best 5 minutes I've ever spent! Thank you!
I love your sound, Mary! Shout out to Josh Turner for pointing me to yet another amazingly talented singer such as you Mary Spender!
It’s been a slow burn Mary but I never miss now and that Josh is great too !
This is a folk-y rendition of Brandi's original country song. Love it.
All I can say is....I'm at a loss for words. Please keep sharing with the world. I'm watching talent I've never witnessed before. Thank you!
Thanks!
What a performance by these two talents. That was gorgeous.
what a lovely voice Mary has.
Best duo of the year !!
A beautiful song and agreat duet!

Me too, 64 and newly Inspired.
A couple of old souls making good music.
I keep coming back to this one , I think it’s my favourite Mary and Josh collaboration, and that’s saying something because they’re all great
Very good Mary and Josh! Love the music that you make together. Thanks.

This is like suddenly seeing a DC hero pop up in a Marvel movie. Great song. Your voices and playing meld together perfectly.
Oh my freaking god how can you two be so amazing!!!
Brandi and the twins are pure gold. Nice cover.
The lower register of her voice is incredibly convincing. Depth and conviction in that sound. Kind of haunting at times. Really great job guys. Love when you sing together
Mary and Josh make magic music. I want more. You are both individually gifted and fantastic, but together magic music happens.
