I'm 71 yo and have followed Dylan for decades. Just saw this. Best cover of this song. Very subtle and sweet.
73 J'approuve ! depuis toujours !🙂
I don't believe you
It makes me happy that there are young people who still play this style of music.
@Guy Martin I discovered a few of them in the last months, It makes me confident and happy.
it makes me cry a sunny day. have you seen the comedy of the good ship essex josh/carson .when they were in high school?
jon woll OMG yes. Brilliant!
and there are other young people who enjoys this music :)
I AGREE
His voice blew my mind. I wasn’t prepared for how amazing his voice sounded.
ruclips.net/video/urm1VJ0_wMU/видео.html But no mike, just a cheap camera. And I get the words correct.
I’m a hardcore Dylan fan for almost 60 years now but Carson, you did a beautiful job with this song.
I saw Dylan when he went electric at the Newport Folk Festival 1965 in Rhode Island.
Our house was so close it was like a free concert with the sound echoing off our back
wall. I remember the boo's from the crowd Bob had Fender Stratocaster.He played a
full set of R+R . I was a kid and had no idea my Sis and I were watching a big part of
musical history. Oh time where did it all go.....
and what do you think of this performance?
Carson has a much better voice than most top artist of today. He deserves a lot more recognition than he actually gets. Sing on Carson, we love you, man. 🎶🎵🇺🇸🤗
Some of us prefer a rough voice and not the angelic perfection
@@AlexanderStHill ....ok....🤣
@@AlexanderStHill Great. Bring on the whiskey, and coffee , and cigarette voices. Hey I can not too judgemental here.

He is a top artist of today ;)
I often wonder how Carson and Josh aren’t household names, just brilliant...
Dylan fan for over 50 years. This is perfection. Thank you.
The phrasing and tempo .. he owns it..perfection.
Only one other person has done this tune justice, and that was Dylan himself. I vote for your version over ALL the covers I've listened to. Great job, man.
Jerry Garcia
Jerry Garcia band does a great one...Check it out
Jerry Garcia did an amazing cover!!!!
Jerry García >
I prefer covers where the artist leaves some kind of change to the song where they can call it their own. I think it almost achieves that. It sounds more modernly generic than the original, unfortunately.
Singing Bob in the park. With dogs running in the background.
But singing Bob with emotion, soul, heartfelt. Great job.
and she picked the poop up ! good girl .
If dogs run free, why not we
This is a marvelous version of the song. The way you perform it and the backdrop of the park turn this into one of the most beautiful things I've found on RUclips. You're a wonderful musician, Carson.
Clicked on this on a whim. Blown away; absolutely blown away.
Speaking as an old man who has been a Dylan fan since 1962, and who saw Dylan live when he first went electric in 1965, I congratulate you. This is a very fine cover. And it makes me happy to see that young people are still interested in Bob Dylan, and what he did for us all.
Controlled opposition.
@@lebe220 ...and so goes the nature of our crafted "heroes"
I'll second that from across the pond Perry. It was 66 in Birmingham England that I first saw him, and half the audience walked out when he went electric in the second half of the show. Also very much agree with your rating of young Carson here. Good job son.
Did you see Dylan in the Village?
@@kencrawford9199 As Dylan always said "The times they are a changing". I still listen to his music almost everyday. Right along with The Beatles, Lou Reed, Carol King.... Funny to think that I'm listing to music from
Lucky for me, Dylan's lyrics broke threw after years of listening.
And then, I think from his Album,
"Blood On The Tracks", a Song spoke to me, like no other.
You young Man, did not only the Song proud, but yourself !
IMHO !
Much like, Mr. Zimmerman, you didn't rush it, and allowed the listener time to remember what those occasions were like, when out of nowhere, Life decides to throw you, a simple,
" Twist Of Fate " !
Beautifully done !
Bravo !
Thank You !
@ ✌️
Dang, Carson--I wish you would do more solos. I love your work with Josh, Reina, and Toni, but you have your own sound. It's great.
I totally agree. Do more solos to showcase your voice, your guitar tunings, and your arrangements. You do your best work when doing solo.
Carson- I have listened to literally dozens of covers of this song. Many, many of them are absolutely unlistenable, and many are by singers trying to emulate Dylan, which is a shame, because, as this video shows, it's a very melodic song if given a chance. Yours is EASILY the finest cover of this beautiful, touching song. You have a fine voice, which is evident on many of the covers I've seen with you and Josh.
He objectively sings this better than Dylan lol.
Checkout the Jeff Tweedy version from the movie I’m not there (Bob Dylan biopic). That also is really beautiful. But Carson version is my favourite too 😊
Beautiful
Carsom,aqui no Brasil sou seu fã,energia fantástica na sua vós, sucesso
@@mragunathan1627 in fairness, dylan was never known primarily for his voice, as distinctive as it was.
This is such a great performance by a true artist. I especially enjoyed the extended introduction and closing bars. I love listening to you sing and play Carson. You make a lot of people happy.
I've been wondering if Dylan himself has seen this, and what he would think of it. I can only guess that he would be very proud. Great job, man.
I think he'd be jealous!
I think he would appreciate this mix. Dylan is always changing the original as time goes on. Check this song on Bob Dylan at Budokon
Long Live Bob Dylan

The 20th or 30th time I’ve come back to this masterpiece of music and film. Just brilliant.
When Carson stops abruptly then scratches his neck (early on) that, my friends is pure showmanship. That's one.cool.dude.
Yea, and when I learned this tune from this here video I felt obligated to throw in the neck scratch. Just feels right :-). Tho still couldn't hold a candle to his version. Haha.
@@raindog2262 haha
I was looking for this comment before I post it 😁
He is really great
I can’t believe the sound quality with you sitting in the park. Excellent.
The Zoom H2 is no joke.
Ryan Taylor this is by no means pre-recorded. The sound is processed afterwards hence the quality
That microphone is great! I just bought a Zoom H2n, I have to learn how to use it well yet, but I can already say that it‘s amazing
Ryan Taylor I basically never pre-record audio...one, because I feel it would undermine the “you’re sitting here listening to me play” immediacy I like about my videos, and two, because it’s honestly harder to nail than just doing the damn thing live, especially if I’m just working with vox and guitar, hah! But seriously, I don’t blame you for thinking so-some aspects, like reverb and such, obviously don’t match the outdoor setting, but I’m a sucker for plate verb, so I included it anyway. There are also tricky tracks like “Take It Easy”, where I’m playing a G shape, but tuned down, so that it sounds like an E or something, and instances where I’ve dubbed in, like, one chord to mask a major flub (meaning there might be a half-second where my playing doesn’t match the video). But still-it’s pretty dang live if I can help it.
You, an Encore guitar and a Zoom. Superb sound! What I'd give for a voice like yours!
Dude the way you just embrace the emotions you feel with the song just emanates back to me (and all the viewers). Incredibly done, this is probably my favorite cover of yours. I keep coming back to it.
Me too!
The descending chord sequence at the start of this song is surely one of Dylan's greatest pieces of writing. I love "Blood on the Tracks", in my opinion it is his greatest album, filled with so many wonderful songs, SToF included. Thanks for this sensitive cover, Carson, even my beloved Joan Baez didn't do it as well as you do here....
The descending chord sequence (I - I maj7 - I7 - IV) is at the beginning of Home Again by Carole King that was on Tapestry as well. It's absolutely exquisite.
Criminally underrated album - one of my absolute favorites, every song is great
"If you see her, say hello..."@@captaincrunch9926
My goodness, this is when a person truly does justice to a song with their cover-an absolutely beautiful interpretation.
Carson, I join the thousands of grateful listeners and say “thank you”.
An amazing Dylan cover and a golden retriever playing on the background, probably what heavens looks like
Thanks Carson for your Bob Dylan cover. You still have a golden voice and great guitar playing talent man ! Best Wishes !
I concur!
The best cover of this classic Dylan song I've heard. The delicate vocal nuances really suits the lyric.
This voice is like a milk to the coffee of life.
the cream
the non-dairy creamer for the lactose intolerant
Thanks, but I like mine black.
This voice is like the coffe, milked by his guitar, just as bourbon after an heavy working day, just like a glass of pure water after a long walk in a very hot day...
This voice sing out of herself
@@yccmzimmy Yeah, you just ruined it and made it weird. You're that guy.
When you cover country: "this is my favorite version of Carson"
When you cover classic rock: "this is my favorite version of Carson"
When you cover folk: "this is my favorite version of Carson"
Thanks for the update. This is a gem.
He versatile. He like Blue Rodeo but he Better ! ! !✝✝☑⚰💃🏼💃🏼🟪🟥🔫⬜📕🪦⚱⚰🚬🚬🚬🏆🟨🟨🟨🟨🟩🟩🟧🟧🌅✝✝✝
Beautiful cover of a song I've enjoyed over the past 45 years.
I don't see how anybody could do a better cover of this song, even Bob Dylan. This is just magnificent Carson. Keep up the great work !
This is a beautiful performance. I especially like the moment at 2:08 where Carson uses the "stop" in the lyric as a break-down moment and then calmly scratches himself until it's time to start playing again. Such calm! I've watched it a 100 times trying to cover Carson here. For the guitar players, here's what I think is happening: everything's tuned down 1/2 a step and then the following chord progression: E - E - Emaj7 - Emaj7 - E7 - E7 - Asus2 - Asus2 - Amin-add2 - Amin-add2 - | E - Emaj7 | - F#min7 - E -F#min7.
I really appreciate you posting this. I have been trying to figure this out myself. I figured it had to be alternative tuning somehow, but I couldn't get a handle on it. Also, I'm not sure why it matters, as it would be difficult to do the song this much justice. But that's the effect these guys have on me - they make me want to practice and try to emulate just a fraction of their talent.
Thank you so much
You obviously know the guitar, so I wanted to ask this question, which may sound stupid but I don't know anything about the instrument and It's always bugged me.
When guitarists are pressing the strings on the neck of the guitar to change the chords, sometimes their hand will be near the tuning pegs and sometimes near the
sound hole depending on what chord is needed. Sometimes they need to change the chords rapidly from one end to the other which results in a squeak when the fingers slide along the length of the strings. Can't anything be done about this? That squeak sounds horrible and to me, ruins the tune.
@@donmiller2908 Man this is part of the character of a guitar, all these casual peripheral sounds from the instrument. In pop music nowadays they'll often be edited out but in my opinion it's a sweet part of the whole, physical expression of playing a guitar. Learn to love these quirks and chance squeals from her.
@@donmiller2908 Also as you become more practiced on the guitar, you'll find the squeaks hopefully diminish because your hand speed will increase enough so that rather than slid into or out of a chord shape, you'll come straight off the neck and then straight down. Well, that's the plan anyway. Takes practice but it can be done.
You’ve introduced me to the wonders of Bob Dylan
This is a gift for life.
Wait till you get to the bd bootlegs series
This song is off the 1974 album Blood on the Tracks wait till u hear Buckets of Rain, Tangled up in Blue, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts life will never be the same and that's before you've heard the album Desire, you have a lot to listen too so happy listening!!
Welcome my friend
THIS is your introduction to Dylan? And you're American? Wow... sad. Welcome.
great Job Carson - absolutely loved that .. brought a tear to my eye (and that's not easy!).
What a beautiful cover of this song! When you sing Bob Dylan songs it really highlights what an incredible genius he is but also what an incredibly gifted musician and singer you are!
Great song! 1975, I had just graduated from HS. Had a brand new Dodge Charger and headed to Myrtle Beach blastin this album. I love the way you do it Carson! Nice job indeed.
Sounds like a dream 🙌🏻
I graduated in 1992 and Headed straight to Myrtle Beach. Only our cars had changed to Honda's and Toyota's. We were still listening to Dylan and the music of that time.
Check out the interview about the one or two minute mark in this Video with Ed Bradley on 60 minutes with Bob Dylan. ruclips.net/video/2JCrx3LP78I/видео.html
Dude, this exact same scenario happened to me in 2017. Bought my truck, in high school headed to Myrtle beach with this as the soundtrack.

Please stay safe ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant cover Carson - your love of the poet Bob shines through.
So clean and effortless. Thank you young man.
I love the vocal presence and phrasing. Wonderful voice. (I think this park atmosphere conspired to make it such a delicate version) ❤
Great job man. I'm over 60 and alway hit the like button before listening because I know you never disappoint. Great song. Must confess that I was hopin' that dog would come over and join in the chorus! Lol. Hope you Josh, and all can get back out there enjoying your fans and your music.
I saw Dylan sing this live this past December, such aa beautiful song and such a great rendition!
ruclips.net/video/2JCrx3LP78I/видео.html Watch at the two minute mark Watt Ed Bradley asks Bob Dylan and then Martin Scorsese covers the same topic later on in this video.
LOVING YOURBEAUTIFUL SOUL Mr. Carson McKee~ thank you for being you beautiful human !!!
Like most of us, I view countless things on RUclips, but have never had compulsion (confidence) to comment. This though; wow, just wow. Absolutely beautiful. Everything. Carson; THANK YOU. For your talent and for posting - has helped me in various ways. You have a truly rare talent.
What a great song. One of the most purest voices I have heard. Hands down better than anything that has been on the radio for years!! Thanks for the great music during these crappy times!!
Excellent job, complete with mother nature adding a simple accompaniment of cicadas doing their thing. It couldn't have been planned any better.
So well played and sung, such a terrific cover Carson
I only came across Carson , Josh, Reina and Toni this week. Beautiful covers performed with skill, panache, enthusiasm, and warmth. So uplifting at any time. Ty ! (I hope everyone listening and watching listens to Blood on the Tracks. 😀
"a few pounds and wrinkles later" ... Come on man, you're looking as good and as youthful as ever!
pounds AND wrinkles... very different ;-p
Who we talking about? Lol this is a Bob Dylan song. Lmao...
@@name_less7687 check the description. We're talking about that guy singing the Dylan song
@@jamesbarros950 oh! Didn't spot the "and"... Still, though, he looks great!
I have always played this one in open E. Great job man. Glad to see the younger generation embracing such great music in these times. This makes me smile.
An absolutely drop-dead brilliant cover.
Such a fantastic cover of a really great song. The video location was absolutely perfect too. People in the background (with audibles) and a dog playing…. So good.
I have watched with keen interest for a decade. The vocal maturation and confidence is stunning. The Ensemble will hit huge. We can all say we listened when ...
Never gets old in any of the 10,000 times I’ve watched this. Just brilliant.
You made it your own the moment you went to the high register, and let that sweetness shine, making a beautiful counterpoint to the bittersweet story of the song. One listen will not be enough!
I love how your voice owns each moment. Just wonderful
Love hearing a little commentary with the songs. Also that Eastman with big open chords sounds intoxicating
This is one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs, maybe in the top 10 or top 5. I love the teen Carson version and of course all the Dylan ones. But in this version Carson captured the poetry and deep delicacy of the lyrics like no one else. The drama of encounter and loss. Chance. The pain and the delight. Whenever I want to listen to Simple Twist of Fate I look for this page. Carson, you're a great singer not only because of technique, but because you understand, feel and sing the poems. Greetings from Brazil
Im with you on that brother
Definitely one of my top thousand Bob Dylan songs
Greetings from the south coast of South Africa
It so clear how intimate you’re are with this song. Beautiful!
Beautifully done. Thank you for sharing and it’s heartwarming to know that Dylan’s music lives in young artists with old souls like you and Josh.
Carson voice and guitar spot on, love the lawn. Hope you are healthy, safe and happy. God Bless. Seen you and Josh in Portland, Maine last year it was so nice.......
Wow! this guy is amazing. thats the best version of that song I've ever heard. for those of you who want to get better at performing with just an acoustic guitar...study this video. thanks my brother for giving us that.
Just makes me think….”what the F..k what would we done without Mr Dylan in our lives”……Brilliantly played as always by Carson.
Great song. Great storyteller. I’ve never heard it sung better.
This is a wonderful song. Great job, Carson!
What a silky voiced style to this song. I love your interpretation Carson. It reaches deep in the heart and soul.
I listen to this over and over. You have great talent! I did not appreciate Dylan until I saw your music. Outstanding!
HELP! It is now 1AM and I have binge watched your and Josh Turner's videos for the last 4 hours. I need to sleep... but just one or two more? Completely blown away. What incredible texture. So happy to see the younger generation embrace classic songs from a bye gone era.
Sleep is highly over~rated.
~ me have to make friend with. Insomnia.~~~~

Dang, Carson. Dylan wrote my favorite songs and I can't describe how much I like your voice. Thanks for the new cover.
What a way with a song this man has. And the depth! Masterful.
Probably one of your best, Carson. Kudos, my friend. Keep on keepin' on....
It's easy enough to listen to Bob Dylan sing this song again but I enjoy listening to people's covers as a way to experience great songs in a fresh light. Everything was right about this video. Great voice and musicianship. Relaxing surroundings. Sitting in a field playing a song. More people should spend their time like that. Thank you Carson.
No bullshit here. This McKee/Dylan collaboration put a smile on my face. So smooth and easy on the ears. Thanks Carson.
This guy us for Real.
I've replayed that old cover of yours countless times over the years, so naturally, I got pretty excited to see this update! It's crazy to think that I've followed yours and Josh's journey all these years. You guys were my guitar inspirations (and you guys still continue to impress time and time again). I was just learning guitar at that time and you made this song one I had to learn and even now, it's one of my go-tos.
Lovely version. With all the melancholy and sense of irony that was written into the song.
such a wonderful rendition of this song.
It's half past one in the morning in Italy. But that's not important I watched the video anyway. Good job as always!!
Eh sì, Carson e i suoi pards sono davvero qualcosa di incredibilmente piacevole....keep it up the great playing and singing, buddy!
È solo l’una e pochi, da me... 4 giorni più tardi :~}

Man I’d love to hear your take on some Townes van Zandt stuff. Such a great voice keep it up
Wow, you made it your own mate..
Well done, beautiful 🤗🤗
Man, it's sooooo good. You got me, I just listen every time when I feel alone and want to listen the beauty of acoustic guitar's. The sustain of your guitar is amazing, we love you bro, keep goin' !!
That guitar tone!! Love it!!
Love the song, love the performance, love the setting. Thank you!
This is a lovely performance. I keep listening to it over and over!
A lovely version of another of the masterpieces from "Blood on the Tracks".
I'm a big Dylan fan and love your rendition, I would gladly listen to you singing more Dylan. Thank You for your music. I am a Fan.
Outstanding, i kept waiting for the people in the background to come gather around, i sure would, your awesome and a very talented person. I truly enjoy your music. Thank you for sharing👍
That was absolutely amazing Carson, great voice and fantastic guitar tone.
Your gifts make my heart so happy.........Thank you Carson!
Carson, I've enjoyed watching & listening to you performing on RUclips for a few years now. This is a fine rendition of a super song by the great man himself, Bob Dylan - thanks for sharing it with us all. Stay healthy & stay safe. This message comes all the way from England.
Carson, I can’t begin to tell you how much your version of Simple Twist of Fate has gotten me through hard time . . . Heartbreak. Dylan’s version is monumental but for me, your is definitive. I make documentary films and have done documentary-style music videos. This single take of yours is perfect. Thank you, Carson. You have touched my life and my heart.
Great vocal delivery particulary the phrasing and subtle grace notes and vocal maneuvres.. you made it yours!
So beautifully done!! Great Carson. Thank you so much for your music.
Beautiful song written and performed so well. I always look forward to your videos, no matter where or how they are shot.
Hi Linda💐💐
Carson, I don’t stop listening to your version since I have discovered it a few weeks ago. It’s outstanding. Thank you. Your vocal and guitarist talent deserves more recognition.
Your voice takes us somewhere good somewhere it's cool to go with you.... What a gift....!
We need to hear more of your kind of music, great job Carson!
You're literally my idol, inspiration and Hero !
This is wonderful !
love the dog in the background playing fetch. seems to be prancing along to the music. very enjoyable. thanks for posting.
I’ve seen s lot of covers of this song. As far as I can tell, this is the finest cover version. What a voice!
One of my favourite songs. Beautifully done!
