[@carsonmckeemusic]

Woah, hey, thanks for the feature!!

[@FLATBUSHPLAY]

And well deserved it was Carson! I'm as happy to see this as you are!. Love from Charlotte😊😊😊😊

[@iliapahalko512]

You are amazing!!

[@1Ma9iN8tive]

So deserved

[@trevorjanes128]

You have some great work. You also have a great network of other musicians to collaborate with. Keep going. I'll be listening.

[@keithchaitoff1128]

Been following Carson and Josh for years, saw Josh in Nashville premier about two years ago at The Blue Room - both are terrific.

[@mathewhutchins2539]

I am so so glad to see Carson and Josh getting some love. They deserve it so much.

[@jessicacosiguitar]

So true

[@camtron]

Was going to type the same thing. I bought one of Josh's album, really great song writing. The musical talent is through the roof. His buddy has a good voice too.

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

Yep they do, great to see them here.

[@reedmckenzie]

^this^

[@whitewaltersbet4872]

For real , they are amazing. Especially their country/bluegrass type covers are amazing.

[@Gaolii]

Josh's cover of Sultans of Swing from 100 years ago when he was a baby immediately transformed me from a guitar player to a guitar owner.

[@TheOnlineBusker]

Everyone talks about how great Josh is and that he plays so many things, and that's true....but what about Carson's vocals?? Always soooo good!!

[@agataszoltysek9298]

Carson's voice is one of a kind, old fashion beauty and style :)

[@TheOnlineBusker]

@@agataszoltysek9298 Absolutely! I love Carson! His recording/mixing/mastering are top notch too...

[@sharronferreira6420]

I love watching Carson sing! His facial expressions are top form! (Other than his singing obviously)

[@donfreeman686]

Carson will be tomorrow’s Sinatra.

[@boeliewinter7492]

It takes 2 to tango!

[@enoch1680]

Josh has an entire music ecosystem. He is kind of the leader of the pack. What I love about him is that he is happy to sit back and make his friends look good. And what fabulous harmonies on this. And like Flo Gure below pleasantly surprised to see you doing a reaction video to their music.

[@ImGriffinP]

To be fair, Josh is quite talented, but Carson is certainly no slouch. If you haven't already, go check out some of his solo stuff on his channel. It's really excellent! Cheers!

[@famatu]

Carson has an incredible voice and Josh is an incredible guitar player

[@joelzdepski9884]

Josh was the "early bloomer" for guitar prowess, but I would say he has been chasing Carson with respect to lyrics for years. The cool thing is that now Josh is now writing great lyrics, and if you watch Carson's solo work - he is confident in showing his flatpicking chops. And then when you look at Carson and Reina del Cid's video production skills, they have also learned or been motivated to catch Josh (who was always the video production master). They have all been raising their game during Covid.

[@macedindu829]

Exactly. The man's a goddamn legend. It's simply ridiculous how many people he's performed with and in so many styles. And all top-notch stuff.

[@alhollywood6486]

Let's not forget Reina and Toni, absolute legends!

[@FJD894]

Oh my goodness. Two of my worlds are colliding. Never expected you to react to Josh & Carson. Absolutely love them and there are soo many more videos for you to discover!

I don't know all the technical musical stuff but I like what I hear from Josh Turner, Carson McKee, Reina del Cid and Toni Lingren. All top-notch!

[@pathorn4671]

They are all awesome

[@davidjohnson-fo7ze]

I had always wanted to learn how to play guitar and at 46 thought it was too late. Then I watched Josh Turner play Graceland . A video he put out six years ago, and I subscribed to his channel. I have a lot of guitar heroes but that video made me think " I can't die without learning to do that" Now I can, not perfect yet but I am having a blast. He was my biggest influence to pick up the guitar.

[@tolbiny36]

Amazing story! Go you!

[@brendanlocke3439]

graceland is absolutely one of his best covers

[@froboythestud]

That’s the video that made me discover him too and made me think picking up the guitar again to learn challenging songs was within the realm of possibility!

[@meadish]

If you managed to learn that my hat is off to you. His playing is out of this world on that one.

[@dennisyounkin644]

I know its been 11 months since you posted but hopefully your still trying to play. Just know 10 1/2 years ago at 44 i picked up the guitar and haven’t let it go,You can do it!!

[@nancy-comments]

You said it: BEST OF THE BEST ON KZbin!!! Josh and Carson’s covers are perfection. I’m glad you gave them some love.

[@MemphisEcho]

I love Carson's voice.

[@aarond23]

Josh and Carson are 2 of the best musicians going on KZbin, Reina and Toni too.

[@riotingwalrus]

Coffee cheers! Reina del Cid represent 🤘

[@danverderese6408]

Josh covering Still Crazy After All These Years is one of my all time favorite videos on KZbin! So cool you showed some of their stuff

[@tylercartwright]

Absolutely this. I've been listening to Josh do stuff for years now on his original channel name and even now...that song is one of my favorite covers he's done, and the humor of the housekeeping knocking on the door is amusing.

[@jimfbailey]

Josh and Carson are tremendous musicians who deserve the praise and hopefully this helps them get noticed by more people.

[@AslanW]

The other favorites (Carson and Josh's project) is such a great duo. They deserve all the love they can get.

[@krisritton3912]

These guys are great. Between them and Reina and Toni, it's how I've gotten through the last year!

[@fredmelamed5685]

When something is this beautiful and this pure, no words can answer. Only smiles and tears.

[@tomharrison8247]

Yes, please have Josh and Carson on the channel!! Two of my favorites for sure. There is almost nothing that they (and all of their friends) don’t do with excellence, as well as some fun thrown in along the way, which is much appreciated these days!

[@TheSuzberry]

I enjoy watching experts say nice things about performances I love.

[@thejesskaufman]

Josh and Carson tend to make every song they decide to grace with their playing an absolute masterpiece

[@southpawOO7]

I found these guys from watching Josh's sultans of swing cover. Insanely talented guys. Always love to see these guys.

[@theremedy9171]

I just want to thank you again for doing these videos. I love the way you go about teaching the theory, but the best part is when you capture the emotions of these songs. The songs are enjoyable, the lessons are enjoyable, and most of all you, sir, are a joy to watch. This channel has reignited my passion for music and playing music. I lost it for awhile and I missed it. You gave me music back and I thank you so much. I laugh and cry a lot of times in the same video. I always feel better than I did before I watched. I wish I had a guitar teacher like you when I was starting out. Sorry, for the long comment, but I just had to thank you again. You should have a million subs easy. Keep up the great work, you are appreciated!!

[@Tombo1230]

These guys are great! The singer has such a terrific voice. Musically beautiful to my ears. Thanks Michael!

[@MrAllurePlumbing]

Saw them in NC and llayed a song my daughter yelled out. A forever memory for her. Also her first concert. Couldn't have been a better night.

[@jessicacosiguitar]

True!

[@TantraJames]

I second that. Amazing!

[@mediamannaman]

I'm not musically inclined at all, but it is so entertaining to watch a musician appreciating another musician (two in this case). Just seeing the joy on your face as you react to the music makes me feel more alive and in touch with what matters on this rock spinning through space.

[@gtsipejr]

I've been watching Josh play guitar on YT since he was 14? Used to make covers in his college dorm room with talented female singers. Carson and Josh tour a lot with Reina Del Cid and Tony Lundgrin(sp). I first learned about live stream music from watching Reina and Tony do a Sunday morning show every week. So I'm forever thankful for her showing me about this great music platform. Tony is a killer guitar player as well. Thanks, Micheal.

[@isaacnorton8644]

Yes! I heard these guys years ago when I used to travel to North Caroline for a week every two months for work, this is where they started before moving to New York, and they were as amazing then as they are now. People who learned to play front porch style in the spirit of bluegrass and blues of the south are just the best to me. Thanks for covering them!

Good video. Thanks for sharing. I'm also a fan of Josh and Carson and have been for more than a couple of years now. I'm amazed at how Josh attracts so much talent from other people (and not just Carson) to him to make gem videos. The other quality, I admire about Josh and that is he lets other people shine and doesn't try to grab all the glamour.
