There are a number of people and recording artists who have covered this song, but none like you... you sir nailed it, not only with your vocals but your solo/lick in the middle, all I can say is wow. Thanks for sharing.

[@AntonioLarosa]

Blair Norton thank you! 🙏🏼

[@geoffpater]

Just discovered today, this is my favourite version now.

[@arnoldhey2603]

Fantastic cover!!

[@jonathanstephens1551]

I think Glenn would give you a big thumbs-up and a smile!

[@bernie9728]

@@jonathanstephens1551 There is no doubt Glen Campbell had the most successful cover of this wonderful John Hartford song.

[@Texanrider76465]

Aside from Glen Campbell’s recording of this, I have never in 66 years heard anyone do it better. Thank you.

[@bernie9728]

John Hartford wrote this song in 1966 which was 57 years ago.

[@frankrives9964]

John Hartford could play the hell out of that song.

[@richardstones6445]

This version is a beautiful cover and tribute to Glen Campbell. Really well done. I once heard a live version of John Hartford singing his song and playing banjo, Benny Martin on fiddle, Sam Bush on mandolin, and Buddy Emmons on pedal steel that was an absolutely amazing performance. Hartford was a treasure; a true poet.

[@cjnpete]

I AGREE.. MANIFIQUE

[@ej612]

Waylon has a great cover as well, not as good as Campbells though

[@paultaylor701]

There are 13 very strange people out there who don’t like this! In my humble opinion this is one of the best, I really love it. Well done everyone.

[@willbeegle8898]

For a second, I thought I was listening to an episode of Pop Goes The Country or Country Road TV where the best ever to sing or pick it, and one of my fellow native Arkansan's, the great and incomparable Glen Campbell was nailing it again . Your cover, both the picking and the singing are absolutely outstanding, and second only to Glen himself. I thank you for this wonderful and most joyful pleasure to my ears, that have been appreciating and loving great music and artists for 67 years. Thank you young Man, consider yourself one of those special artists. I wish you all the success in the world. Good luck, Country Music needs a lot more artists like yourself.

[@fujmon]

What a great tribute to the great Glen Campbell right down to the guitar solo.

[@bahoodore]

Beautifully done...so relaxed and I know the difficulty of this song lyrically...trying to remember the order took me 6 months! True Story for you: When Glenn Campbell died, my wife told me right away when she heard because I am a huge fan of his since I was 5. In my grief, I took my guitar and went to my outside patio and sang/played Gentle On My Mind for some reason. My patio doors were closed and my wife opened the door about a minute after I had finished playing ( I was sitting there totally sad and stunned) and said, " Your Brother is on the phone". We live 5 hours from each other. He asked me what I was doing and I said, " Playing guitar on the patio"...he said, " Gentle on My Mind?"...I responded "Yeah, how did you know?" he said "Uh...I just guessed completely"...I said, " I guess you heard the news?"...He responded" WHAT NEWS?"....he had no idea that Glenn had passed away and he had NEVER heard me play Gentle on My Mind as I had only just learned it. Had he known he would have guessed "Galveston" because THAT was my favorite song of his. I believe Glenn's spirit was telling me that he was okay.

I just want to thank the KZbin algorithm for introducing me to this. I thought it was Glen himself singing at first. And then you killed the guitar solo like Glen would have. Holy mackerel.

[@AntonioLarosa]

Thanks Roger! 😊

[@flybob63]

One of the best covers I’ve ever heard. Guitar break is very true to Glen’s guitar work and the accompaniment on rhythm and drums is very tight. Great work on all accounts.

So many great and wonderful comments on this superb cover of this Country Classic. I, like I'm sure every person who had the pleasure to watch and listen to this video, and took the time to express their appreciation of what I will have to agree, is quite possibly one of the best, if not the best covers of this Glen Campbell and John Hartford collaboration. I am thoroughly impressed. I'm not a musician, but I do know a great performance when I hear/see one, and this was one of the most moving cover's of any song I have had the absolute pleasure to take in. I think you three gentlemen with a righteous break, are gonna go places. Good luck to all three of you. You look so comfortable and professional together. So relaxed and at ease. Stage presence! Good luck, and God's speed to you.

It's knowing that your door is always open And your path is free to walk That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag Rolled up and stashed behind your couch And it's knowing I'm not shackled By forgotten words and bonds And the ink stains that are dried upon some line That keeps you in the backroads By the rivers of my memory That keeps you ever gentle on my mind It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy Planted on their columns now that bind me Or something that somebody said Because they thought we fit together walking It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find That you're moving on the backroads By the rivers of my memory And for hours you're just gentle on my mind Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines And the junkyards and the highways come between us And some other woman's cryin' to her mother 'Cause she turned and I was gone I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' Cracklin' caldron in some train yard My beard a rustling, cold towel, and A dirty hat pulled low across my face Through cupped hands 'round the tin can I pretend to hold you to my breast and find That you're waiting from the backroads By the rivers of my memories Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
