I have the original LP for about 8 years and am 30 years old and love every song on it. I recently found out my 85 year old grandpa loves America. It just goes to show ya, no matter how old you are music has no age limit to it.
Agreed!!! Given how Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Nicky Minaj, Kanye West and all of these other God-awful talentless hacks have all but killed music it's nice to see young people rediscovering these classics.
Only one word : Terrific. I love your version it sounds like the original. My congratulations boys. I'm proud to see that some young people still love good and real music
I was born in the '50s and lived during America's prime. I love their version, but yours is just as good. Awesome vocals and the harmony was fabulous. The instrumental ability you guys have is on a professional level. I wish you well¡!
Music professor here guys. GREAT JOB on this!! And let me just say, there is something classy and professional about taking out a curse word and replacing it with a family friendly word that people don't mind children of all ages listening to. You don't HAVE to curse - there are other adjectives available and it definitely does not take away from the quality music and talent you've just displayed here. Well done on this one.
I love this cover. Great to see the younger generation playing one of America’s great songs. Luv the backyard video too. Family and friends getting together to enjoy some good old wholesome music. High praise for your comment and love for music. You all will diffidently have a place in music.
its like a breath of fresh air to see these young kids doing such an awesome job of this classic....it brings back memories of camping with my family when I was a kid in the 70's
WOW!!! As a huge American fan, I love this. They did a fantastic job of keeping the soul of the original, while making it their own with small touches. Bravo guys, bravo indeed!
Rough crowd! In my opinion, to have a band of guys their age playing music with real instruments, words that anyone can understand, with awesome vocals and harmony and all we can talk about is the fact they chose to remove a curse word. Don't listen to the haters! Keep making musicguys! Well done.
I couldn't agree with you more about the word change. I don't think Gerry Beckley would mind at all, especially with the tremendous job those guys did.
Lmao I get a kick out of the comments backing you up on what you said.and you my friend I couldn't agree with you more.these young guys rocked the hell out of this good old song.and America couldn't and wouldn't be more proud of these guys.to hell with all the nay sayers and the haters
Dean Nederhoff , not to take away but this evidently is not the recording we are listening to here. Sounds like some voice effects and auto tuning added
I accidentally found this link because I was hoping Rick Beato had a breakdown of what makes this song so great since he put it on his list of top 20 singer-songwriters list. But that didn't exist and so I clicked on this because the production looked professional enough and something about your coffee intro gave me this vibe that whoever I was about to hear play were good. And you lived up to the hype. This cover is as good as the original maybe better.
I learned to play this by ear only chord perfect in 1975 when it 1st came out. You guys smashed it. Great work. Loved it. Brought back so many memories. I cried 💜😍
I couldn't imagine this song working with an electric main guitar. I was wrong. That 370 Rickenbacker was up to the task! The young man singing lead does Gerry's voicing proud. Nice job with this song as a group. Good instrumentation and harmonizing. Loved the background activities in the video! I could almost feel the sunshine and smell the burgers. RIP Dan Peek.
You guys freaking rock. Great job. Been 7 years now do a remake of it..be cool to see ypu guys rocking a little bit older. Hope you all are fine..thank you great song great video, rock on from a 60 year old..
WOW! FANTASTIC! PERFECT! A today's band with these young musicians actually using real instruments! HAHAHAHA! So awesome! Great vocals and harmony! Gerry Beckley and the rest of America would be very proud.
OMG! Gerry Beckley needs to watch this video. This is America new generation, because good music never will be old. I love you beautiful America. 2019 from Brazil.♥️🇧🇷
First heard this cover on August 28th 2023. Fantastic. Sister Golden Hair came out when I was in High School. What great memories this song brings back.
You guys absolutely nailed it !!! This was one of my favourites as a kid growing up in the 70,s (have it on my iphone). This really incredible...you completely captured the spirit of this tune - well done 👍
This is one of the best covers i've ever seen. i'm 29, hate new music, love old music, and it does my heart good to see young people singing good music. this is great. i'm gonna check out what else y'all have done.
Even sounded a bit like Gerry Beckley in the beginning when he started singing......very impressive. The timing of the song was almost perfect, even all the way down to the tambourine. Double Thumbs UP!!
This vocalist sounds like the original vocalist of America. Fantastic vocals. You're still young and you will go a long way. Keep it up. Beautiful rendition.
Yes! You guys nailed the Boys, I have a handful of groups I only have enjoyed listening to and America is one of them. Thanks for doing them justice.....very well done! Plus.......no weird clothes, or tattoos, proud of you guys
Brilliant rendition! Well done! Lead singer has a great voice! Where are these youngsters now? Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell ought to have listened to this.
Great job....young people with real talent...I mean real talent....not what you see these days
I'm 72 and have been a musician / vocalist for over 50 years - Pretty good job boys !
You guys sound "darn" good.
LOl. They’re cute :)
THEY ARE HORRIBLE
lol
Great miming . I do like it though.
LOL.... yeah "darn" it.
As an old guy, it is very impressive to hear a modern band that nails it on harmonies and instrumentation. Great Job! :)
Scott Leikam yes they really tight for being so young
Heartwarming performance
The fact we haven't got another Sligh Brothers video in forever has got me so darn depressed.
I’m 56 years old. Love America. This brought a big smile to my face 😊
Me too.
This is probably the single best cover I've heard in my life. And I'm *in* a gigging cover band. Absolutely perfect.
It’s up there for sure !
wow
Good on you to say that. Many blessings friend.
It’s not a live recording!!!
I'm literally seven years late but this is such a good cover
Nine for me 🙂
I'm also nine!! Great cover 😊
@@fictionfactory716411 now, just like that
I have the original LP for about 8 years and am 30 years old and love every song on it. I recently found out my 85 year old grandpa loves America. It just goes to show ya, no matter how old you are music has no age limit to it.
wow. so rare when a younger generation covers a song from the 70s or 80s and actually does a really good job. well done.
Nice to see young ones doing classics.
Agreed!!! Given how Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Nicky Minaj, Kanye West and all of these other God-awful talentless hacks have all but killed music it's nice to see young people rediscovering these classics.
YESSSSSS !
If there is ever a perfect cover this has to be it, this was amazing !!!
Kids sing the 70's ! Woooo! Love it! Hope you boys are still rockin' :)
Excellent job guys. Keep on playing the old classics because they'll always be around, unlike today's music... HERE ONE MINUTE AND GONE THE NEXT.
Great to see a group of young people who recognize great music. Really good job. The singer has the perfect voice for this.
Fantastic guys!!!!
😍😍😍😍😍 love your playing good old song .👍👍👍👍👍 nice .

When then singer turns 18 he can say damn!!
Mark Camaro he’s not considered an adult until he can commit to the curse word. Lol
He can probably say it now, but he chose not to.
Good raising
Lol "darn". You guys are so wholesome
thisnis AWESOME
Great cover! One of my favorite songs of all time.
Darn good cover
Wish I lived next door to these guys!! Great job!
I just laughed when they said “darn” instead of “damn.” They still did a darn good job
He was raised well...didn't want to embarrass his folks. Dad was on the grill.
How am I just finding this year’s later?? Love this rendition, new sub!!

Yes your absolutely right they are having a good time and it comes through in the music

If you keep searching RUclips for cover bands doing this song, these young guys did the best job!
