Highway Patrolman (Bruce Springsteen cover w/ Skylar McKee)

Will I keep going until I've covered all of Nebraska? Maybe. I always think of this album around October because of how, well, haunting it is. Skylar and I had some spare time in Charlotte after a beach trip and recorded this in my parents' backyard.

I'm thankful to say that i used to go to school with Carson and had the opportunity to spend time with him he's literally always been talented. Keep up the good work Carson and Skylar

[@carsonmckeemusic]

Hey, thanks Shane! Hope you’re doing well.

[@DietersYT]

Damn, that’s wholesome

[@als4817]

Thanks for posting ! Can you give him a message and ask to cover the album ? Do a song when the feeling is right. This is very good ,,, this is American music at it's finest. This is why Martin and others invented dreadnaught guitars. All the best, from Canada

[@ProbableCause-DanGryder]

Obvious musical pure talent.

[@Ron-ih3dc]

"Canadian Border, 5 miles from here" :-p

[@marijofoster7783]

I almost got impatient waiting for Skylar’s harmony. Boy, was it worth the wait!

[@ChristianSpivey]

I was thinking the same thing

[@gatoryak7332]

@@ChristianSpivey Me, too.

[@TheRycooder]

Family harmonies!! Something about them just KILLS IT EVERYTIME......Great Song

[@WIZ-IN-PA]

"But when it's your brother sometimes you look the other way"... fantastic job guys.

[@rileymartin3388]

Carson - Who in your generation even knows of Nebraska, much less covers multiple tunes from it with anything approaching your level of musicality and talent?! You and Skylar just amaze me with each tune you post. Your arrangements, harmonies, and really solid, steady guitar playing are just a treat. I would so love to play with you sometime. Bravo to both of you!

[@dylanrogers510]

Nebraska got a hipster renaissance in the early oughties. For a certain type of person it's the most essential Springsteen album. I was always too big a fan of the E Street Band to put it toward the top but I understand people that do. Top notch songwriting as always with The Boss.

[@philthemustardtiger]

If I could like this twice I would.

[@bernardhossmoto]

Nebraska is one of the best albums of all time. Thank you, guys!

[@jurzeejozee41]

"Nebraska" is a particularly outstanding Bruce album in many ways. For me, it is not only the relative simplicity of the recording and extraordinary power of the songs and lyrics, but also that Bruce recorded much of, "Nebraska" in a house he rented from my cousin at that time in Colt's Neck, NJ To say it was a memorable time for me is a huge understatement. You and Skylar have done a superb version; truly in the very best senses.

[@als4817]

Thanks for posting !

[@gunnersfan111]

Every so often I haven't listened to Carson for a while and I forget just how good he is.

[@JC-oc7um]

I’ve said it before…..hearing music from the 60s and up, performed by this generation is heartwarming……they cover the music better than the original artists, imho.

[@reillyphillips6145]

One of my all time favorite songs. I have a younger brother, and while he's a great kid and we are really close, this song is still relatable in terms of what its like to have a brother that you'd do anything for. Killed it!

[@CrawfishParish]

Oh my Gosh! Best Cover oft this amazing Song! Love the Movie and also this rendition.

[@adaltroczguitar]

This is nothing less than amazing!! The brothers have reasons to be be proud of one another!!

[@sleepycuber]

Damn, those harmonies! Never knew Carson had such a talented brother. This is one of my favourite Bruce Springsteen songs and you both killed it. Gave me goosebumps. I'm so impressed.

[@spencertherren6806]

You two have become my absolute favorite. Tasteful, elegant, and always respectful of source material. Absolutely gorgeous.✌️🇺🇸

[@huckthomas7231]

Springsteen: to my mind, the greatest rock songwriter of all-time.

[@ahome8089]

By far my favorite track from Nebraska

[@jamesfdonaldson]

This old codger from Scotland has been listening for some time now-in years- and admire the breadth of songs both covers( I put that down to fine parental guidance, ha ha ) and original stuff. Must say the harmony is as tight as...well, I'll not say the phrase- Carson, I expect no less on vocal , fine voice , always, but hey, Skylar ....there's no better than this , Thanks you both.

[@stevejones4949]

I was never much of a Bruce Springsteen fan. Then he issued Nebraska. One man, guitar, and a four track tape deck. I became a convert. You boys definitely did this song justice. Thank you!

[@waylonnicholson371]

Love when a new video pops up from Carson. Some talented DNA in this family for sure.

[@RcMcNutt]

You two never cease to amaze! I've always liked the sound of 2 guitars with one capo'd. The diifferent chord shapes give it a nice full sound. Especially with one in drop D. And of course you're harmonies are perfect. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Peter-xy2io]

Agreed - love the overtones and colour that's created by the technique. Excellent cover by the brothers too! Props.

[@kirkmichaelsbackyardtunes]

Fantastic rendition. Love the Nebraska album. Thanks for sharing this reminder that great music lives on. Cheers and happy Friday!

[@menotyou9406]

Holy Sh*T Those Harmonies gave me goosebumps!

[@garytowardmusic]

If you’re having a bad week, visit this channel for some therapy. Nice to see Skylar. You two sound awesome together.

[@wingdwolf56]

My best friend and I started playing and singing together first year of high school, long long before cell phones and social media. He has long since passed and there are no recorded memories of those times. You and your brother brought back some very fond memories. Thank you! If you ever make it to Ohio, I’d love to know!

[@swamps0fjersey]

Nebraska is one of my favorite albums. Great cover!
