If Not For You (Bob Dylan Cover feat. Skylar McKee)

This year would not be possible "if not for you" - if not for the wonderful network of friends and family (shoutout to Skylar, of course!!!) and supporters I have propping me up tall. I've been feeling a lot of gratitude on that front recently, and this song seemed like a perfect way to encapsulate some of that thankful feeling. Much love!! -Carson

[@mediamannaman]

Love how you both have your own unique, different styles but blend together so well.

It’s really good to have Skylar singing and playing with Carson. Great voices and great guitar playing.

[@mikegalvin9801]

You Tube's algorithm must know how much I love this. It frequently comes up in the morning when I log in looking for songs with which to walk the dog in the woods.

[@robertdicarlo4490]

Nice arrangement. Skylar please post more on your channel or more with Carson when you can.

[@MrAucklandguy]

The brothers and Bobby what more can we wish for

Outstanding Carson and Skylar! I hope your back is healing up nicely for you Carson.

[@dr.davidgerstenaminoacidth2421]

Great cover. The first song I learned on guitar was Tambourine Man. It was 1967.

[@ronaldszudy8184]

A golden song and performance. Thank you, Carson and Skylar.

[@ATSUKO-KANEZUKA]

I like this song🎉 From Japan 😊you are so cool!👍

[@jackvegas3705]

Just beautiful!

[@cricketbat09]

Wonderful. First heard this song as a kid, when Olivia Newton John sang it and reached the UK top ten, in 1971.

[@ALightInTheForest]

The richness and texture of the guitar playing - perfection!

[@nmstan3619]

i listen to this quite frequently. beautiful

[@Redstagwsmnp]

An amazing cover as always

[@bgrigg07]

Always great to see the brothers playing and singing!

[@tonyquinlan7341]

Beautiful guys I so enjoyed listening to this Dylan classic Thank you.❤❤❤

[@DonAgnus]

Love the voice there Skylar!

[@Gregdsilva915]

Lovely guys hit that spot for me

[@PurpleTT99]

A capo'd six string + 12 string = acoustic bliss. Great rendition chaps, I really enjoyed that.

[@mcginnin6]

Awesome performance. As always Carson, you are a star in itself, and I love the way Skylar shows so much expression when he's playing. Great brotherly bonding!!! Love everything about this one!

[@BernardoErasoLorea]

Bravo!!!¡!!!!

[@donnaforsyth6818]

I’m addicted to listening and watching you both your so so amazing together. Both have absolutely beautiful voices. 🌹🥰❤️

[@keithhunter3910]

Thank you for sharing, gentlemen!

[@biscaynediver]

Love how you made it your own! Great stuff. Hard not to miss Olivia just a bit too. 😁

[@guitaleleoeuvre]

McKee brothers rock!

[@innerspace3155]

It's no secret I'm in love with Carson's voice, but wow, Skylar - I think you've outdone yourself! ♥

[@SpicyCurryWurst519]

A Bravo for the Bros :)

[@CobinRain]

Come on Carson fans...this channel is closing in on 100000 Tell your friends. If they are your friends they will want to. Skylar...so impressive these days

[@sniffableandirresistble]

Guy's you gotta sing harmony together give the people what we need!! ❤ (Good time to record that Chirstmas Record for the holidays this year)

[@ChadPrestonOfficialThree]

Excellent, just excellent.

[@javedikbal4311]

I am appreciating Dylan's songs more from your covers than the originals. Thank you.

[@donsmith6045]

Great job. I was watching this to get an idea of how to make changes. The problem I have, my voice cracks trying to sing in the key that Dylan wrote the song in. The song fits my wife of 40 years. I'm going surprise her on Valentines day at her job.

[@johngarrity6687]

❤Happy Valentine's Day to the perpetually young lovers! Hope you nail the song😊

[@kathiebogue8579]

You been hidin’ Skylar! Do your voices blend like the Everly’s? Show us! This was great.

[@ILoveMagic15]

Here am I having always thought this was a George Harrison song. Now, thanks to this beautiful cover, I've learned that Dylan wrote it. How many great songs can one man write? The 12-string really adds to this song! Well done, lads!

[@milo8425]

Love seeing such talented bros. Very Avett.

[@johncline3033]

Great one guys!!!!!!!

[@garypaquin9571]

I hope this was recorded after Carson’s successful spinal surgery. He looks…comfortable. Skyler has really matured. I detect a weight loss. His vocal style is developing into something all his own. Great to have the brothers back.

[@Ordinary_Peasant]

Shine on you crazy diamond

[@alandouglas8044]

Brilliant.

[@Uslogisticsman]

Next to my blood bros these two are my fav bros Don't stop!
