I have lived in China Grove Tx 78263 for 32 years ! Still here ! Maybe 1250 people live here .🎉❤🎉

[@TXDeathInvestigator]

Howdy from San Antonio!

[@ctatrains]

Best China Grove cover I ever heard. Lead and background vocals and especially those harmonies nailed. Guitar tone perfect!

[@censorshipsucks9493]

For me it's a toss up between these guys, and Lexington Lab Band.

[@53glowe]

Totally agree with your comment 👍

[@JLange642]

Having seeing the Doobies many times I agree- very great cover!

[@ashleygriggs7392]

Ate you shitting

[@brucepickess8097]

I haven't heard this song for a long time, and I had to listen to the Doobies original after hearing this version, and I have to say that I think this version blows the original out of the water, in my opinion.

[@Straightupshooter]

The mixing engineer is a genius. I can hear each instrument crystal clear and voices. Perfection.

[@theHindleyStreetCountryClub]

That’s Dave Ross mate ✊✊😀

[@danielkokal8819]

I agree, the mix is excellent. the overall presentation was tight as a drum. and I'm sorry but chick backup singers make me weak. glad to have found the HSCC

[@MusicAnirban]

Agreed, the audio balancing shines in every song. Hats off to consistency.

[@radioace318la]

that's exactly what caught my attention. not to mention the smoking hot lady backup singers.

[@archerpiperii2690]

After reading your comment, I went back and listened again, and again, and again. You're right, the mixing engineer did a fantastic job. And while they all sounded great, I thought the guy on the Les Paul really rocked it. Phoenix, AZ.

[@davidskirk7355]

whoever did the engineering on this deserves a medal or something, its so dialed in, sounds just like the record! Well done everyone, definitely the best classic rock cover I've ever heard, fantastic job!!

[@praetorian7861]

[@shihyuchu6753]

Heavy medal?

[@sethtenrec]

It does not sound “just like the record”, the lead vocalist is lacking. He’s good on the guitar though!

[@hedey2]

@@sethtenrec That's harsh man Dusty does a good job I reckon

[@eleetse6701]

There are some hella good cover bands on YT-to name a few not in any particular order: Lexington Lab Band, Leonid & Friends, Martin Miller, Foxes and Fossils, all excellently engineered and in many cases better than the originals in my opinion. Surfing cover bands is my latest obsession.

[@gremtoy]

This is literally Doobie perfection in every way - spirit, vocals, musicianship, WOW!!!

[@MisterGames]

I'm a simple guy, when I see Dusty up front in a Doobie Brothers song, I hit like before I listen. I just KNOW it will be Awesome! And IT IS!

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

After a few videos I’m completely convinced that this is the best cover crew on all the KZbins 🏆

[@eileenpoutai8190]

I agree totally

[@giddysoo3640]

I thought so too. Until I saw Leonid and Friends and I’m like 😱 Here comes a new challenger! 😂 Both are currently best cover bands on KZbin.

[@carrieunderwood3298]

very good but check out Foxes and Fossils. my favorite.

[@zwiastunburzy7188]

The KZbins AND the FaceTubes!

[@jeffgrueneberg9762]

Lexington Lab Band hands down best cover band

[@johnomalley1034]

This is such a great example of how well Con creates ensembles that are such perfect fits for songs has selected; the dynamic duo of Con and George, with the added clout and skills of Dusty, create such a phenomenal rendition of a classic...and those young ladies, wow. I seem to gravitate especially to the songs recorded in this 'Red Carpet Studio'. Thanks for all the great music HSCC!!

[@edcooper5298]

By far the BEST cover of China Grove by ANY group !

[@DrJasonTorn]

I’ve said this on other videos - but dusty Stephensen is mind blowing. His talent is off the charts.

[@ednguyen3822]

That was awesome. If you're going to cover a rock song, no better decade than the 70's to pick from!

Little known fact about this recording by the Doobie Bros. It was widely known as the "best in-studio recording" for many years...The Curve on a spectrum analyzer known at the "China Grove Curve" was used for years for duplication. Bravo here...YOU NAILED IT !!!

[@benmarnoch4111]

You flew your Lear Jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun, must be the best lyric ever written!

[@kevinkilduff2064]

What a super rendition of an iconic rock song from America's rock band, The Doobies! Great work, guys!

[@Avedis-G]

Excellent gear, excellent vocals, excellent musicianship. That’s how you cover a song.

[@brucepickess8097]

Yep, hit the nail on the head.

[@highlights5397]

Friggin nailed it, man. Well done. Love the girls -- their voices really add a nice dimension to this song plus it doesn't hurt that they appear to be having a great time.

[@brucepickess8097]

[@shanetrussell4315]

Absolutely

[@christianmani1730]

Amazing Cover! The guitars are great, but the secret to this sounding so good is the rhythm section. The drummer and bass player are locked in so well and nail the groove perfectly. The bassist absolutely nails Tiran Porter's funky groove on this.

[@hazelmallorca2766]

The audience connection is so real, with all the band members enjoying and having a blast, everybody having good times. Thank you so much HSCC for your music.

[@NOLAgenX]

You did it again!! I close my eyes and it is July, 1989 and I am once again attending the Doobies' concert in Lake Placid, NY! Thank you for your hard work and the joy you all obviously take in these weekly works of art.

[@rollin8248]

Outstanding job! Growing up with the Doobie's and listening to them ALOT, they were definitely on the party list to listen to. You guys did an AWESOME cover of China Groove. Brought back a lot of memories from the 70's. 51 years later..... MAN, life is short and quick.

[@dlundo9788]

Incredibly well done. Lead singer and backups are amazing. The band is incredible!

[@frankjudepi]

The mix and the performances are flawless. I thought it was a video for their studio recording, but at 02:53 you can hear the tone change when the Les Paul steps on the first pedal. It's so great to hear real music with real musicians.

[@389293912]

Seriously George's rhythm opening on this is the best ever, even better then the Doobie themselves. It's Epic. The timing on the riff has to be perfect to make the magic happen. Honestly every player in this is better then the original. Dusty's solo is a masterpiece.

[@ROCKSTARCRANE]

The trick to playing this live is setting your delay pedal time to the correct song tempo, then hoping your drummer stays on it. If the repo drifts, that delay gets real sloppy.....

[@John_Michael2000]

There needs to be echo on the guitar during those opening chords

[@4gigtech]

Fabulous opening! Best cover I have ever heard! I’m 69 from the southern US and I have seen the Doobie Bros several times. This kills it! Nice job!

[@MW-rq5uc]

This group was so much a part of the early 70’s...great songs, great voice...thank you!

HSCC has also done other Doobie brothers tracks: Listen to the music (Danny). Earlier this year Jesus is alright (Danny) What a fool believes (dusty) Ya bo me there (dusty and Danny) Keep forgetting (Sarah) unsure if this is doobies or Michael McDonald.

[@RIEH54]

I don't think of HSCC as a "cover band". They expertly recreate the best music out there with their own skill, spin and finesse.

[@daveross-obsessedwithsound6236]

@@beyondonethousand Hi, just so you know we are not trying to copy and recreate the original song, If that is what you are after, you will find the original artist would do this quite well. HSCC do our own renditions; sometimes making only subtle changes, sometimes complete reworks. These changes can include rhythm, tempo, key, style almost always some kind of arrangement rehash, quite often chord changes/substitution. Our intention is to pay respect to the song whilst doing it the HSCC way, everything we play is completely intentional.(well almost) I hope you continue to enjoy our weekly releases Cheers Dave #ObsessedWithSound

[@msheffield24]

@@daveross-obsessedwithsound6236 Dave do you guys add tracks other than the live performance? It’s awesome regardless!!!

Big part of getting a cover like this right is the background singers, and these three nail it (yes, the bass player is singing backup with the girls). Really well-done on all fronts. Guitars and keys sound just fantastic. Great cover.

China Grove, Texas, got its name from a grove of chinaberry trees once located near the town's train depot. Also, last week's HSCC song was by Christopher Cross. He's from San Antonio which is only 12 miles west of China Grove. The song this week is so solid & smooth, the band could put wheels on it & ride it around town.

[@FloydMaxwell]

Such an ambitious song to cover. Hats off to everyone.

[@realgaparking]

If you're a "seasoned musicion" and you thought this was great, you must be tone deaf. The only thing good about this band is the bass player, keyboardist & guitarists. The girls sang out of key most of time & the drummer was way off time & wasn't playing right notes. I dont even know what the "bongo" guy was doing. This is from a real professional session drummer!!!
