[@thomaskline]

Hod Pharis & Annie Little 1952 was the original. Jim & Jessie recorded it in the 50’s , Marty Robbins in the 70’s.

[@JulieGaulke]

Instant click on the thumbs up button! So cute, Sonny. Bluegrass suits you well. :)

[@sgtsonny]

+Julie Gaulke Haha thank you so very much, Julie. You're always so kind :D. (now I'm smiling at my computer like some idiot :)).

two very talented young people

[@sgtsonny]

Thanks so much, Stan!

[@sonyahannah]

Yaaa-hooo! Born in Texas; spent 20+ years in East Tennessee [an hour or so from where the original Carter family lived]. I cut my musical teeth on GENUINE country music, which is heavily based in gospel. Love this!!

[@sgtsonny]

+sonyahannah That's the reason why I chose this genre for my latest project. I'm not a religious man, but this music just makes my heart beat a little faster every time I hear it. We play a lot of religious songs in our set as well such as 'Daddy sang bass', 'First day in heaven', 'Joyfully I'll travel on', 'The Fourth Man', 'I'll fly away', 'Where the soul of man never dies' and many more. I love those songs :D. Thanks for stopping by!

[@sonyahannah]

+Sonny Vande Putte Can't wait to hear the songs you've mentioned, which include several of my favorites. More, more!

[@cmahue1235]

Who is the lovely talented young lady, Sonny? You two are terrific together. This is my favorite rendition of this beautiful song. It makes me joyful. Thank you.

[@sgtsonny]

That lovely talented young lady is my wife, Joke Derre :D. We're very glad to read that you enjoyed it so much :D. Feel free to come back and replay the video ;).

[@lindaballew1242]

I listen to u every day and it gets better each time ,Im hooked on u two singing it

[@mrshelfsong]

Oh my, this is really lovely guys. You really captured the Carter family sound here. This sound is very influenced by southern US gospel music and I love it.

[@sgtsonny]

+mrshelfsong Thank you very much for the kind words! We really love those gospel influenced songs as well. We do several in our show and people really seems to like those. Something about those songs, man. I can't get enough of it :).

Well, y'all just got a new subscriber! Loved every second of it. I absolutely love this song and how the two of you sing it together is just so melodious...I just can't help but tap my foot and sing along! LOL. Excellent voices together and the instruments are good too. Hope to hear more from you.

[@sgtsonny]

[@Tyronkmstudios]

It's a lot of fun to hear your music! :) Verry nice country song. I like the little e-guitar it's verry funny :D.

[@sgtsonny]

+Tyron Kretzschmar Thanks a lot, Tyron! The instrument I'm playing is actually a mandolin. It's a superfun instrument which is tuned like a violin. It gives our songs that bluegrass sound :D. Thanks for stopping by!

[@Tyronkmstudios]

+Sonny Vande Putte Yeaaa right it's a mandolin! Thank you, i didn't remember in the name :).

[@JenoSnetrem]

Echt tof! Jullie vormen een fantastisch duo :) Keep up the awesomeness!

[@sgtsonny]

+Jeno Snetrem Bedankt, Jens! Ik ben blij dat je dit ook kan appreciëren. Country en Bluegrass is niet voor iedereen weggelegd :D.

[@sgtsonny]

+browderindahouse Next up is Rock 'n Roll Sonny, Cabaret Sonny and Britpop Sonny but I'm not sure if there'll be videos any time soon. If there are some, I'll post them right here :D. Thanks for the kind words :)

[@browderindahouse]

Can't wait to see it all! Diversity itself is an awesome talent on top of your incredible voice!!

[@sgtsonny]

+browderindahouse Thank you so very much. If I were a peacock, I'd be waking around like a boss right now :D.

[@scottlucas6127]

You two should be able to sing John Prine and Iris Demint, IN SPITE OF OURSELF, great fun song,

[@sgtsonny]

+Carl Ahrens Thanks for the suggestion. I'll take it down and see if we can fit it in our next set! Thanks

[@garym5111]

This would be a hard song to do but they nailed it.

Thanks so much, Gary!

[@holboroman]

This is the second video of this song with a Johnny Cash poster int he background on the wall. Are there any more?

[@ruthannbishop9325]

Think Dolly Parton and her husband ❤ And her empty rocking chair

[@tombaker9218]

AAA

[@manuelgarciajr.2414]

Wow Sonny you and your Friend there were GREAT, it's feels like you were in Texas, also I love that cowboy hat your wearing my grandfather has something like that. Please write back to Manuel Garcia Jr. Thanks! :) P.S. Who is the name of your name there singing with you?

[@sgtsonny]

+Manuel Garcia Jr. The girl in the video is my fiancée Joke. We have a couple of musical projects together. Thank you very much for the many kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@manuelgarciajr.2414]

Believe Sonny I did and your fiancée Joke is really super SPECIAL, she seems very Nice for you, I would like to know about her someday, and I will wait for your next barbershop or a live video next week buddy. :)

[@Retired-Don]

+Sonny Vande Putte fiancée? Congratulations!!! You guys laughing at the end... Pure joy. And yeah... Bluegrass is great... . Instruments? I'll allow it. :-)

[@manuelgarciajr.2414]

I agree with you Don Lind, Everyone loves country music, even my sister loves that kind of music! And it's such an honor getting to know you buddy :)

[@sgtsonny]

+Don Lind Yup, I'm getting married in September this year :). Thanks! Thanks for allowing the instruments this time. We promise never to do it again ;).

[@brendanwalsh9640]

Who is this lady?

[@amiedetherese]

And when are you going to the Opry? Is that this spring for Nashville?

[@sgtsonny]

+amiedetherese Haha I wish :D. Unfortunately, I'd have to be able to REALLY play the mandolin for that and not just mess around on it :D.

[@amiedetherese]

+Sonny Vande Putte Aren't you going to a barbershop competition this year in Nashville this year?

[@sgtsonny]

+amiedetherese I was and I was really looking forward to it as well (it has been my dream for many, many years), but two of the guys dropped out, before we even started preparing for internationals. I was soooo close, but that's not happing after all.

[@sgtsonny]

+amiedetherese For now I'll stick to playing bluegrass in Belgium. People are impressed more easily compared to playing bluegrass in the capital of country music :D. Must be a lot of fun though.

[@johnwilkes6909]

Can someone inform if relatives of Cash/Carter family.John,Liverpool UK April2018. thanks

[@sgtsonny]

Unfortunately we aren't related to the Cash/Carter family. It's just a stage name. We're actually musicians from Belgium, with really boring Belgian surnames :).

[@scottlucas6127]

Wow. I love me some A cappella , I really appreciate some mandolin and guitar, how 'bout you take that voice of yours and do some John Prine.. LOL!

[@sgtsonny]

+Carl Ahrens I have to admit that I had no idea who John Prine was. So I looked him up. What a voice?! I'll most certainly look into that :). Thanks!

[@sandiroberts6296]

Sounds great, but I think she should have taken the top of the chorus. I still love it.

[@sgtsonny]

Thanks so much for stopping by! Not sure what you mean by 'the top of the chorus'. We found it fitting that the female voice would take the higher parts. But thanks so much for the feedback. All the best

[@sandiroberts6296]

Sonny Vande Putte not criticizing just an observation. My famy had a bluegrass band that traveled the country 30ish years ago. My two sisters sang harmonies and I sang lead on most. I enjoyed your song. We were privileged enough to get to see and meet all the greats of bluegrass. We traveled the circuits with them. Keep up the great work!

[@sgtsonny]

Don't worry about it! I wasn't taking it as criticism :D. Always happy to hear other people's opinions. Awesome that you were able to share the music with your family! Thanks for stopping by.

[@mrbobevans]

Looks a little bit like Kate Middleton.

[@sgtsonny]

She actually gets that quite often :D

[@mrbobevans]

@@sgtsonny Love their version. Just listened to some guy named Marty Robbins doing his version of this song. I think Marty may have some talent.
