[@arnelarsen4379]

Hello Mary - Did you forget Carson's socks ...

[@davidcochran6291]

Mary you forgot the best version of them all, Ralph Macchio, from the movie ironically enough, 'Crossroads'. OK it was Stevie Vai playing, but Ralph had to pretend really good!!!!

[@LFRG15]

Merry with me please.

[@mickeogh]

I think someone said it best with Mary and the Spenders! Love it !

[@glgwilson]

Hi Mary spender how are you doing sister I love your songs and video's can do more of this video's and more guitar reviews please

[@arnelarsen4379]

I just love The Spender Trio!

[@garychisholm2174]

I think the billing though has to be The Spender Three

[@TonyVorell]

I would be so disoriented if I went to see her live, and it wasn’t these three

[@thefirefoxo7608]

hot take it think spender is a better singer than spender buuuuut thats just my opinion

[@kristofferrydquist8384]

I want to know how the drummers date went as she was both late AND singing…

[@stuartd9741]

The three Mary's Triple distilled Mary? IDK. But this could quite easily become a YT sitcom... Mary getting up to mischief with herself.. .. A bit like last of the summer wine..... Last of the triple Mary's...

[@Ninety2guits]

Mary and the Suspenders... what an underrated band they are.

[@jrwise100]

I see lots of covers of people singing but I actually believe that she is singing without editing her vocals. Very cool!!

[@bobshortcut6950]

It seems like most young musicians in this generation are multi talented. Nice mix and arrangement.

[@nickx1754]

These Mary collabs with herself are so good and enjoyable.

[@folkoftheforest]

Marvelous mix! Mary and the Spenders are my new favorite group!

[@JDin17603PA]

Your “trio” has this ol rocker tappin his foot. Another outstanding performance Mary. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@ccarlson1264]

I am shocked that this video doesn’t have over a million views. Incredible!

[@PoJoWo]

I think bass Spender is my favourite, she’s definitely the quiet leader and pins the whole thing down. Definitely the Jack Bruce of this Ensemble

[@jaqcp]

The Spender Trio needs it's own album!

[@JasperKloek]

Their three voices fit so well together.

[@wardsdotnet]

I love all the musician faces, it really feels like three people. And I love the way the drummer always comes in late. More of these videos please! This and Flowers are my faves of all your videos

[@fredfred2363]

Yep. Bass Mary was in the zone...

[@foljs5858]

If you love the musician faces, try Anne Reburn

[@scottmacdonald1826]

Totally agree. First off it sounded fantastic, but the video itself gave me 2 vibes. One was, of course, "Hey Ya!" and the second was the stop motion goodness of "The Sinners of Saint Avenue" by Slave to the Square Wave. It's all about how it sounds though, isn't it. A great version!!!

[@SantanaSilcott]

1:55 Those low notes and the broken up signal are gritty gold 🤘 Great performance

[@carlolepelaars]

Amazing! Can't wait to see the Spender Sisters live! 🤩

[@tylerdurden5122]

The Mary Spender Experience. Has a real ring to it. You’re welcome 😉

[@davejones2500]

Scatting part of Eric's second solo over the top is a very nice touch.

[@jasonb7812]

I can’t wait to see all of them live.

[@TheSteveMahoney]

This is brilliant. Fantastic version of this.

[@user-sj4fr7yv8n]

Brilliant! Her poise performing and creativity standout in this video!

[@Bob20011492]

A stripped-down, tribute-paying, AWESOME version of an awesome song. It rocks!!!

[@dragonmac1234]

This is the first time I've heard the Mary Spender Trio and I like "them". I also like the Cream version of this song (Jack Bruce was one of my favourite bass players).

[@derekgusoff6768]

Bass Mary holds it all together.

[@stodds1919]

Mary finger tapping is the best surprise of this great version. 🤟

[@richardseigler9538]

🤩and of course Drums is in all black! Love the jacket.

[@josephhughes9490]

Mary, You are adorable all 3 of you and I just adore you so. Talented and gorgeous. One woman band. Love these videos

[@dcltdw]

It's too bad that I'll never get to see this band perform live, because I really want to! :D

[@ralfklonowski3740]

Me too!

[@stuartd9741]

Actually that might be possible. Remember the abba holographic concert?

[@dennygerard7417]

Seeing you play the three characters playing the different instruments was by far your best video. More please!

[@JFLABBERVILLE]

Love all your covers! Can't get enough of the three of you.

[@wildwillie7792]

Duh more duh Mary'er!😮

[@nicholassousa1438]

Oh my that low end vocal threw me for a loop, what an awesome range!

[@caster168]

Thank you Mary, Thank you Mary, and Thank you Mary

[@williammarthe4827]

The Spender Trio is my favorite !

[@DerpyM_2.0]

Such a fun version of Crossroads. I really love the interaction between your 3 characters. Hilariously wicked.

[@billprindle1613]

Mary, I just saw your video with Rick Beato where you two discuss Croce’s “Operator.” Wonderfully well-done. Smart, sensitive, articulate people are few and far between online and I’m glad to have encountered you.

[@sharplessguy]

Nice arrangement... great vocals. More please

[@carolynparral8434]

These are my favorite videos ... Luv Mary & The Suspenders Trio !!! 😊

[@2004ranger1]

A hell of a video...a super talented young lady...keep them coming

[@LMacNeill]

You're not wrong. Cream and John Mayer definitely had great versions, but the original is the original. You honored all three! Excellent!

[@fbriansmith]

2:05 watching play both Standard guitar and bass raised some questions. Maybe a video idea. 1. Which came first for you the standard guitar or the bass guitar? 2. How did you come to play the bass? What drew you to it? 3. What was your experience learning to play bass? If standard guitar was 1st, how hard was it to learn bass for you? 4. How has learning to play bass impacted your guitar playing and songwriting? What is different when you approach a song as a guitarist because of learning to play the bass?

[@12tallod]

I wonder if mom and dad have a favorite player out of these three.... awesome video and song.

[@syntheticErik]

Wow, what a great cover. I'm especially digging that fuzzier guitar tone during the bridge/run parts. Super soulful.

[@RLIAU]

I have been listening to this song the last 20 years and this is an absolute treat! I would say newer and better.

[@fredfred2363]

Good to see the Marys doing a proper collab.

[@PaulGAckerman]

Drummer Mary needed a minute but she got it. Great video, great song!

[@eredison8584]

What a talented lady.

[@llKoolAidll]

This is a tremendous fusion of great music (song choice, playing, singing), interesting and enhancing video that is well shot and edited, cheeky but not overdone contextual comedy, and just the perfect length and pacing. To me, this is a quintessential example of the "media company" Mary Spender you are striving to be. I love it. I am smiling ear to ear. Thank you for striving and persevering and arriving at this result! Awesome!

[@johngraydon506]

Thats the truth, she is something to all of us following her journey, long may it run ❤

[@robert-dt1hl]

Big Spender Trio for the win!

[@23coburn]

You are a Gift and a Force of Nature madame! Don't ever quit.

[@lukaslmguitarcorner]

Singing the solo is not just cool but also a great lesson for every guitarist!

[@JaxsonNZ]

Love this. 8:00am Monday morning here in New Zealand and this was a perfect way to start the week. Thanks and well done 👍

[@serajmehrabkhani7333]

"asked the lord above for mercyy" Lovely

[@samuelhatman8995]

Goooo Mary!!! And your soul is still intact!

[@scottlennan225]

Yes! The Spender Trio puts a big smile on my face!! Can’t wait for their next song!!!

[@csnide6702]

YES ! YES ! YES ! More of this !

[@stevenmuir1834]

GREAT! You are so talented! And that low register voice hits the target.

[@phila3884]

That chick singing on the drums was the best of the three. The others weren't too shabby either. I know Robert is looking down (err is that up?) and smiling.

[@vincediana4814]

All 3 of you get along so well

[@RichardSmallwood-du9qb]

Versatile or what young lady? Showing skills there, meet you at the "Crossroads" 🌟🌟🌠

[@AllenSJ5]

Great as always!! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with the world.

[@polygonalmasonary]

Brilliant 😮👍

[@davidryan6441]

And a Good Time Was Had By All Three Of You...Loved It.

[@robertbowman9556]

Wow, I thought the Flowers video was fantastic, but this version of Crossroads is amazing !!! I love this video, pure gold.

[@paddy50]

I love these type of videos that you are making Mary and they sound so good! Great job and production!

[@simonedavis2398]

My favorite version of this legendary song is the one done by Free (Paul Kossoff on guitar at his peak). Great version Mary, the Rory Gallagher Strat in your hand sound great.

[@jamesharris9352]

Girl's got some serious chops! 😉👍

[@blues4dj]

Spender Triplets - Awesome sound, awesome recording, awesome video [editing], fun fun fun !!!

[@panaruss]

Ahh Mary! Look at how you have learned to understand composition, lighting and art direction to make your videos eye candy as well as ear candy. I know it means you are working harder on producing your content, but I appreciate the effort. Nicely done.

[@benjaminmclaughlin7716]

That was absolutely BRILLIANT!!!

[@Clancys]

Good, solid take on the classic. A friend and I recorded 'Crossroads' last year, and we actually remember Cream's release in the mid-1960s. We don't appear in OUR video ... who the heck wants to see two 70-year olds?!! Enjoy your youth while you can, Mary! 😄

[@MarceldeJong]

I want to see 2 70-year olds rocking out with this song. Don't sell yourself short!

[@Clancys]

😄

[@cindyferguson8855]

Greetings Mary.....from the Western North Carolina Mountains...! MOST EXCELLENT !! I'm just as impressed, if not more, than when I realized ( many many moons ago ) that Phil Collins not only played every instrument....but produced loads of great songs of ALL him.! Lovely and fantastic you are....and I'm so glad to have ( finally ! ) discovered you...!!! Sincerely, Cindy

[@thibaultvandenbogaerde1504]

Your music is breathtaking, Mary. You're an incredible artist!

[@tonypapas9854]

This is such a banger of a series. Mary - the characters are so fun, and the editing is excellent! Well done!

[@BrianSteedman]

If there was ever a case for cloning a'la Multiplicity, this is it we need the Mary Spender Trio!

[@robbykband]

Wow! All I can say is Wow!

[@seanmormelo01]

Very nice. I like the fact that you made a very old and widely covered song, your own unique version.

[@rw8147]

Love the Mary Spender Trio, and just can't get over that drum break and the surrounding harmonies. Brava!

[@TroyNaumu808]

In a world full of price tags you are priceless. I love the Cream / Eric Clapton version.better than John Mayer's version. But, the best version to me is the one by The Mary Spender Trio,

[@BlutigeTranen]

Didn't expect the tapping bit and then you transitioned into that gnarly hi-hat bit. Rad cover dude

[@probtub]

Awesome! Best version of Crossroads yet (especially the intro)!

[@Wallybear770]

What a wonderful talent, love your videos, you gave EC, RJ, and JM a run for their money with this one - well done

[@avalancs6612]

The discourse sounds like my inner demons, except they don't have such a lovely voice! Amazing music, thank you Mary! Take care!

[@StephenLewisful]

Notice how Mary, the drummer, is always the last to show up? Why is the instrument that keeps time always late? 🤠 Great stuff Mary. The more the Mary-er.

[@Beasonmusicresources]

What a cool and unique rendition! Love the self-made trio! You’re talents are very inspiring

[@recumbentrocks2929]

Awesome! Great tribute to Roberts style of blues. More trio's please Mary.

[@mikebeaumont7558]

Go big girl!

[@DelmarToad]

The best one-woman-band hands down, no contest. Can this be the beginning of an all-MarySpender parallel universe?

[@ralfklonowski7840]

"crossroads" "I love Britney!" Totally hilarious!! Jokes aside: This format definitely is a blast. also, your solo had some serious SRV vibes. Absolutely badass! I liked your former recording of this classic well, but the version by The Three Spenders is something different entirely. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion. Love from Germany!

[@robertotakahashi2739]

Sou seu fã.Sua voz é linda e melodiosa.A pronúncia das cantoras inglesas é top.

[@_WadeBuchanan_]

That strat gives me Rory Gallagher vibes. Sweet looking guitar.

[@keithowensmusic37]

I went and visited Robert Johnson's grave several years back. It was a road trip that started at Graceland (Elvis), BB King's museum, Robert's grave, Randy Rhoad's grave, Michael Jackson's grave, Paul Walker's grave, spent time with Randy Rhoad's brother, spent time with Jason Becker, and threw in a Grand Canyon visit for good measure! Lol

[@derekpross4914]

Spectacular rendition!!

[@HazelS71]

You're first crossroads cover was outstanding! and one of your first vids i seen!! Yet another amazing cover from the root of the blues. Mary Spender you are amazing

[@inkjob12]

Mr Johnson would be proud of you! Your not only great looking, talented, smart and you know who Robert Johnson is !!! Your perfect. Love your channel and looking for more videos by you. Have a great day !

[@GregoryAshton_house_n_hill]

Mary, since seeing you in the performance you did in Rick Beato's channel doing a duet, I share your channel with so many others. Thank you for being a shining inspiration in a world that I thought had lost real songwriters and performers (I mean singers ...). You make me think of The Band and others like them (wait, your 'Trio' will get there ... Thank you, Greg (all the way down south in Johannesburg, South Africa)

[@pathatfield2543]

If this is how your music typically sounds,then I will be spending more time listening to you(see what I did there?). Thank you for this,because I’ve never heard the original version of this song,and now that I have,I love it(Also the many other versions).

[@ElTurfStuff]

Amazing and brilliant cover. Chiled understated style that somehow took the best parts from all the versions I have heard. Superb.

[@allanhindmarch7323]

What? 3 Mary's? 🤯😃👍 Cool cover!

[@HakunaMatataAquatics]

Wow! Wow, wow, wow! 😮❤ Amazing! I was entranced.

[@pinetopthomas4100]

What a great video Mary! I wish I had that bass guitar you’ve got… sweet.

[@newearthengineer]

From one obsessed guitar woman to another, you're such a fresh, breath of air. Do your thing girlfriend.

[@markusgrebe9378]

Ha, ha, great "Mary & The Merry Spenders" really rock! Very nice recording AND very much fun. Have fun with your new Strat.
