Carson's voice has so improved over the years; the intonation, the timbre, the timing... Wonderful. And stick to the friends jamming in the basement format, it clearly works very well for both of you.

[@dfighternelams6387]

I completely agree, he’s come so far

[@ArchFundy]

I was thinking the same thing as I watched this.

[@loriemckinstry5652]

oh yes..he is wonderful

[@markadams7328]

You are all correct! And it's always a bit awkward to complement someone like that, because it infers that they weren't that good to start with. BUT, we all know that Carson was already good! He's just jumped to that next level - REALLY GOOD!

Hello you two. Greetings from Germany. We came across your channel yesterday and were immediately impressed by your covers. The voices are beautiful and everything is very harmonious with the guitars. From us 5 thumbs up. Keep up the good work. Friday-Night-DUO👍👍👍👍👍

These guys, separate and together, are not just “The Other Favorites”…they’re MY FAVORITES!

[@jejmsj]

Perhaps the best rendition of this song I’ve ever heard!

[@JoseVelazquez-su5nm]

Carson's voice is just so damn smooth.

[@brokenacoustic]

I was 4 or 5 when this was released, and to this day, whenever it comes on, if my family is around they all start singing 'oh oh oh I'm yo fwiend', as I mistakenly did as a kid. Some things you just never live down... lol

[@DMR6262]

That’s cute. I was a lot older when I first heard this song and always thought (until just now) that Springsteen was singing, “...and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my ‘soul’”. I’ve been singing it wrong for decades!

This is the right way to cover a song.

[@mjcal81]

Carson, your vocals on this song are amazing.

[@marcopatro]

Being a huge Springsteen fan for, well, ages let me just say... this has left me speechless. His songs are the soundtracks of so many parts of my life; it's good to hear your cover but still feel at home as hearing the original!

[@rickbullock4331]

You guys are phenomenal. The guitar playing and vocals are exceptional to my old ears. Well done gents.👍👍🇨🇦

[@BoofSquank]

Gosh could you imagine not knowing about Carson and Josh? Great playing as always

[@michaelosolosax]

Wow, no guitar solo, but a Carson "Hooo hoo" ... such a simple piece of music and such a beautiful sound ... well done ... pleasure ... Thank you!

[@billyrubine]

Now that is a very nice arrangement! And that smile after you sing you "got a bad desire"...

[@NoahGoldstein]

Close your eyes, meditate, zone in on yourself with this playing in the background. It's heaven.

[@soultylive]

Incredible arrangement and rendition! Your musicality is a treasure. The rim shot effect Josh is able to get from his percussive playing is terrific too.

[@philh2342]

Awesome guys!! Best cover of this song I've heard yet. You compliment one another's musical nous well as usual. 👌

[@leebaseball11]

Individually, y'all are so talented. Together, y'all are magic. Y'all are the cure for covid. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@LaurenceWindy]

I agree

[@grahampowelljr1]

I was just thinking exactly the same thing. Each great on their own, something really special together. Though having seen them each do songs with quite a few other people it seems like they bring something special to each combination.

Now that was exquisite. Thank you to both. 🙏🏽

[@ireallyshouldntbehereltd7814]

Dudes, Micael Palmsino just reviewed this cover, which coincidentally I think is by far a better version than the original. You're getting noticed. Finally!

[@Sielanka_]

I love this simple Springsteen song so much. It's good to see you guys pick up this kind of songs and create something totally new while keeping the spirit of the original version. Good stuff!

[@giuseppesena2731]

Seeing you guys playing is like listening to a moving great poem... both in your covers and in your original songs. My favourite musicians, thank you, from Italy

[@TitoKYeptho]

How these lusty, desperate lyrics sound so melodious!

Hey I'm in Brooklyn too! And I grew up hearing Bruce Springsteen, and surrounded by acoustic guitars, also! And you guys did this so spectacular!!!

[@stevenrostkowski9366]

Excellent as always, guys. Thank you. So my silly story about this song is that when it first came out, we discovered that if you played it at 45 instead of 33 1/3, it sounded just like Dolly Parton.
