    To all who watch this video, I strongly suggest you look up the other videos of this kid Josh Turner. He is a very versatile musician who performs a great variety of songs that always capture the essence of the original recording.
    He clearly is enjoying himself and so are the other performers.
    I would like to be able see him perform sometime in the near future.

      I must agree heartily. I've been subscribed to him for the past year or so. Extremely talented young musician who has tapped into a wealth of talent from a younger generation than I. His collaboration on The Weight spanning so many different genres gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. Looking forward to hearing what the future brings from him.

    • @Edward1312
      @Edward1312 7 лет назад +3

      The major criticism is he seems incapable of composing his own original songs which is a major drawback because that's where the money is.

    • @kevinsmith8193
      @kevinsmith8193 7 лет назад +8

      Tony, I don't know if he has tried to write songs for himself. But he clearly is on his way to becoming a master musician. Additionally, the late Glen Campbell never wrote any successful songs, but he became a great guitarist ala his membership in "the Wrecking Crew" and given exposure on TV via the Smother Brothers which eventually got him his own show which lasted about 4 years and made him a household name.

    • @nissimlebovits3636

    Thank you, Josh and Carson. This one has special memories for me that I’m going to ramble on about. In the summer of 1970, my dad took my brother (18) and I (20) to Norcross, Georgia for the funeral of his brother James.it was our first trip there and our first meeting with anyone on my dads side of the family. Dad was then the sole surviving of 5 brothers as well as the youngest. One of our cousins sang this song for us in honor of his dad. My precious dad and brother are both gone now.

      Carson is still quite a bit raw like Johnny Cash was but Josh has a much more refined voice and better control. Still, I love hearing them because of the diversity they do and they compliment each other so well. I loved Carson's version of "Folsom Prison Blues". That has been an all time favorite of mine from my band days with my brother. We did a really rocking version of it but I think I like Carson's hillbilly Rock version better.

It is so cool to see our youth reworking our old classic rock, country, and folk music and playing it today. I was part of a band for a long time as rhythm guitarist and lead singer and we covered a lot of the songs these kids are doing today. Very cool to experience it being done with such diversity and professionalism

James must have lived a thousand life. No one can write lyrics like James does. At 60 plus years I still still teary eyes listening to this song and his other beautiful song You Can Close Your Eye. Kris Kristoffsen is another brilliant writer. Bobby Mcgee". I wish James could come to Malaysia for a concert.

    Two very normal looking guys (e.g. Carson in the beginning, making no show-smile) and on and on in your videos that kind of making really abnormally good music ... you are an enrichment to my life, guys ... thank you!

    Such great harmonies! Carson looks like he wants to kill someone during the first verse.

    Hey young dudes... i've been playing this song of JT's since I was in High School... I'm 64 years old now. Never have I had such fun listening to this song, than when you guys sang and made it your own... except of course, for when the man sang it himself. Keep it up dudes and if you're every near Evanston WY, or want to come out... let me know. I'll put you up and get a couple of gigs for you. Greats voices, great feel, great harmonies, and ain't too bad playing that Martin. Thanks so much. Keep it up, little Bros. Love it... played it through 5 times... and we'll I'm still playing it!
