Oh the dreaded hotel room knock. Hard to imagine someone complaining about hearing that performance in the next room though. Beautiful.

[@leszektemplewicz3362]

I laughed really hard about that knocking. It makes that video perfect

[@Rwededyet]

"Why does the room next door have a better radio than my room?"

[@Joe.Doucette]

@@Rwededyet That comment made me smile. Thanks for sharing.

[@williampaganucci1084]

Great as always Josh. Did you ever think of you and Carson teaming up with 2 other musicians? Maybe 2 girls from MN?

[@MattPooleopaltotem]

[@PaulDavids]

Goosebumps all over, wonderful Josh!

[@JoshTurnerGuitar]

Thanks Paul!

[@aniximander]

I saw your video about Paul's perfect chord progression earlier today and it reminded me of Josh. It appears that I was not alone. Anyway, I'm a fan of all 3 and I wish you all the best. Paul has already earned his retirement, but I hope that for both of you the best is yet to come.

[@erikwolfe9467]

Quite a compliment coming from you Paul!! sure that brought a smile to Josh's face.

Oh! Maybe a Collab here? I hope.

[@paulyoung8232]

After hearing this rendition just once, I packed my family in the car, drove 300 miles to Swansea and saw one of the best performances of our lives. My son laughed at me as a I shed a tear when you played this tune live for us. I laughed back when he had to sleep in the car as we couldn’t find anywhere to stay! Thanks Josh for the memories and inspiration. Hopefully see you again soon.

[@JoshTurnerGuitar]

That show and tour are one of my fondest memories, especially now. Thank you for sharing that story, it means a lot.

[@andymac345]

I don’t usually comment but as a dad I totally get it, it was nice that you shared. 🙂

[@leson8984]

Could you please share it to KZbin, i really want to watch Josh performing this masterpiece live, thanks in advance, he is a great artist.

[@EatingMachine23]

I am blessed to have tickets to see them in Leeds in September. Quite a drive for me too but it will be worth it 😁

[@Axel_Andersen]

I managed to juggle my business trip to catch the show at Malvern, flu 2000 km and drove 200 km from Yorkshire to Malven and then to London just to see and hear Josh. Thank you for the music. Such a a talent and likeable personality.

[@lw216316]

For those who don't know - that is very difficult guitar playing - and its being done on a steel string acoustic guitar - much harder than a nylon string guitar or electric guitar - now if you want to double the difficulty then try singing at the same time as you play all those unusual and difficult chords - let's bump it up another level of difficulty and do a classic that everyone knows and will hear any tiny mistake you make - let's put icing on the cake by sounding as good as the original. Thanks Josh - for your appreciation and tribute to the classic songs of my youth. I only discovered you recently and I keep listening to one song after another when I only plan to listen to one, cause I got other things that need doing.

[@teunroodzant9164]

do you happen to know the tuning? i want to figure out tabs but somehow cant get the tuning down right

[@lw216316]

@@teunroodzant9164 I do not. Sorry. I'm not into playing alternate tunings but do enjoy and appreciate those who do.

it's drop D

[@meghals.8339]

@@teunroodzant9164 theres a tab video out there for this arrangement on youtube, this one is in drop d tuning and its a step down from the original record

[@illiamdeebe7579]

This song is so New York.. steam rising from the manholes, late at night the streets still wet from rain, shopkeepers sweeping out front pushing dirt into the gutter, people yelling in the distance, high heels on the sidewalk, taxis idling. Even the sound your fingers make through all the chord changes as they work up and down the neck. This song is 100% better with eyes closed. It really paints a picture. Excellent job.

[@pedrodavidbr]

I'm 68. Still crazy after all these years. Thank you

[@ianson3]

The acid test is when an artist takes a song that you don't particularly like and turns it into something you can't live without. That is what Josh Turner has done for me with Still Crazy. Breathtaking.

[@millsmillsmills203]

I'm not the biggest fan of the album version, but any acoustic version of this song I absolutely love.

[@ianson3]

@brian elliot The album version? No, heard it too many times. The Josh Turner version? Definitely.

[@nitovsten]

I stand next to you Mitch on that one.

[@halalburger267]

I don't like the album version, but concert in central Park 1982 is probably the best version of any song Paul simon ever did, check it out if you haven't!

Hey Josh, saw you in Edinburgh last night. What an awesome show. Fantastic. Well done to you, the band and the South African Cultural Gospel Choir. Hope it brings you much more of the recognition you deserve. I sat beside someone who had travelled down from Aberdeen to see the show and who had to head back up again afterwards, through all that dreadful rain. He said Graceland was his family's favourite album and he loved what you all achieved. Getting Edinburghers dancing in the aisles is no mean feat!

[@SeattleBurns]

Can't private message you so... Tonight in the the Glasgow royal concert hall was unbelievable! Took 4 others with me who had never properly listened to you and they were all blown away. The Graceland 2nd half was fantastic but I have got to say, your version of this song tonight almost brought me to tears, particularly perfect.

Love it Josh! I had a friend over and I had this video and first thing he said was what video of paul did you get he was thinking it was mr. Simon he thought it was a old video when he was young. I turned it towards him and he said no way. He said you remind him of Paul Simon when he first seen him in the round way back so that tells you how old I am.
