[@michaelkearns8499]

Josh's solo after first verse is outstanding. Nothing forced, just blends perfectly

[@GC-.-]

Man... Carson.. that voice deserve to be more worldwide known

[@jessicacosiguitar]

So true!

[@oppermann21]

I’m from Germany an damn this music is better than the music in the top 100 😍

[@nathanrobbin6341]

Your talent is matched only by your selection of songs to cover

[@thetubekid]

I don't say this lightly. This might be the best rendition of this song I've heard.

[@Taosravenfan]

Great cover. Listen to Johnny Cash and Joni Mitchell. Makes me cry

[@willthorson4543]

Is this the only version you've heard? Lol. Plenty of versions out there much better.

[@krocketonboost5236]

Nothing beats the og with Lefty but this is really good.

[@JohnC-er3rg]

@@Taosravenfan and The Band

[@jvaish]

Jerry Garcia on the Pizza Tapes is a good one

[@jajs283]

Absolutely amazing and mesmerizing. You guys are truly special. The guitar playing superb and vocals well, Carson let me tell you, soothes like honey. Great job fellas. I’m 56 and when I grow up, I want to be like you guys.

[@markstig]

J 😂😊🙏🎸

[@johnnyconner4184]

Josh & Carson -- Yeah. What he said.

[@petermead4992]

I'm 72 and when I grow up, I want to play and sing them, too.

[@TCox-bs1sn]

There is nothing Josh can’t play and there is no style of singing that he can’t do. He and everyone that joins him has talent rolling out of their ears! 👍👍👍👍

[@johnbastille5483]

Wow! Going over KZbin's versions of this song, I happened upon two young guys. I'm 70 and was not prepared to be impressed. I guess you can at least show old dogs new tricks. Terrific controlled lyrics, harmony, and great guitar playing, reminding me a little of Doc Watson's crispness. Kudos to you both!

[@ryankargel5837]

I am ten videos deep, and haven't see Josh play the same instrument twice.

[@pappyfiddle]

You cannot have too many guitars. < Woody Brison

[@jeffreyevans9431]

good luck ! hahaha

[@TattooZombie82]

My mom passed away three years ago. I used to love to listen to her play the piano and sing this song. You two brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for posting this, you helped me recall a beautiful and special memory of the person I adored most in this world.

[@martymannion5234]

Check out Rick Danko

[@malynbarnett5573]

I can relate, except no instrument and it was my dad

[@nathanrobbin6341]

First guy singing:. Great phrasing my dude. Excellent Harmony, flawless picking. Just fucking excellent. In a world of talentless hacks being promoted to cultural icons, you guys restore hope.

[@belascialoja4812]

Nathan Robbin -- Well said, and I second it all. How amazing that these boyhood friends (like S&G?) _were_ friends, and that both were driven to do the work (not to mention their having such talent) to get this good.

[@tonileenemanick727]

That first guy is Carson McKee. Check him out on KZbin!

[@missyhumwood6669]

The one guy is a Buddy Holly lookalike and I mean that as a compliment!

[@seancampbell9740]

Second guy josh ❤

[@robscottish007]

Josh I saw you last night in London. Fantastic - the best musician playing in the WORST venue. So sorry!!! Can't wait until you comeback and play a proper venue like the Union Chapel. Bring Carson next time! Thank you - you were brilliant.

[@MacGWA]

Phenomenal Lefty Frizzell cover!

[@goodcommentman1512]

I like it that you guys don’t feel the need to “blast a tonsil across the room” to get a song across. Great stuff.

[@richardkoo7869]

You throwing shades at Adele?

[@corkstar74]

Gave a like to this comment because I have to keep going across the room to pick up my tonsil's 😂

[@genodabat9797]

I've heard many so called country celebrities perform this mournful song. But, none even come close to you guys. Perfect harmonies and the arpeggios are just so clean so as not to out sound the rhythm. Bravo gentlemen well done.

[@bolark60]

One of my favorite songs. Never has it been done better than this. Thank you.

[@mimi2the4]

I've been performing this for 40 years! Warms my heart to see young'uns doing it justice 😍😍😍😍

[@angieann8916]

Just BEAUTIFUL guys!!!

[@finsfan1376]

My dad use to sing this song when I was growing up. It's been 19 years since he passed away from cancer and listening to this makes me miss him. Wish he was here to be able to hear what a great job you guys have done! Thank you for covering this song.

[@redrock1963]

That is very sweet. I'm sure your dad would be proud of you.

[@jacksonrine1]

fins fan13 sing this song to my one year old she loves it l.

[@duaneknorr3081]

WOW... He was definitely ahead of his time!!

[@duaneknorr3081]

Wow!!

[@nopenadanowaynohow]

Same here.. My dad passed about 25years ago. I grew up with him play on the most incredible sounding '52 Gibson J-50 that sounded(didn't know it then!) These guys play several that my dad played and sang when I was growing up. this was one of his fav's

[@MrRogsmart]

Excellent. I don't think I've heard this song since before the turn of the century. Carson, this shows off your voice so well. Nice work gents.

[@aussie8114]

You’re both awesome but Carsons vocal ability is seriously world class.

[@csababekesi-marton2393]

Josh's intsrumental capabilities _does_ fit the highest standards, too. Only the cooperation level of these two amazing guys exceeds that.

[@scalfaroc]

Nailed it. Sad songs say so much.

[@marknicole4411]

Hi Josh, I was there last night in Amsterdam and was very happy to be able to see and hear you live together with Reina and Toni. Carson I am counting on you also next time. Thank you for your musical Happiness.

[@Dilondas]

those 18 dislikes are from the deaf people physically unable to hear this baeautiful sound...

[@Paul-fp1gr]

It's their ability to cover any venue or era of music that seperates them from all comers.

[@tonyd4697]

What I love about your performances is that you all look like your having the time of your life.

[@Roadhardd]

I wish Danny, and Marijohn were still around to hear this. They would’ve loved it.

[@andrewjones8575]

Perhaps in a generation and certainly within a century, a single genius appears whose range and passion for the creative work stands far above the rest. I am glad to have lived long enough to witness just such a creative talent. One translation of your name in Hebrew is ‘God Will Save’. Indeed your talent saves us all from our darker selves. Shalom

[@TheDellaniOakes]

My goodness, how did I miss this one? Over a year old, and I just am hearing it. I've loved this song forever!

[@novdec6895]

This has happened to me so many times since discovering Josh!

[@koyote2e511]

Well now I can be absolutely honest with myself and admit that as recently turned senior citizen (that’s 50yo In Oz) i can say goodbye to my old favourite loud, can’t hear myself think, too noise to drive to, Rock classics and settle into the soothing sounds of my Other Favourites, to be able to hear and also watch artistry in the voice of Carson with the harmonies and the detaching fingers of Josh is something pretty bloody special to my senses, safe travels guys. Say hi to Reina n Toni 4 me.

[@FatalPhenom]

My God what talent. Reminds me of when me and my buddy used to sing and pick together. I miss it

[@t5o7m]

"One Take Wonder" baby :) ... how can you guys just be that good? ... thanks!!!

[@michaelosolosax]

Just a very simple "Thank You for Your Music"! ... again and again inspiring ...

[@keithwigley1256]

Excellent..great to hear to fine musicians in harmony together

[@pbunt58]

One take wonder? Amazing!

[@benaaronmusic]

Oh man, this is some folk gold. Thank you for this.

[@keremayan452]

The ending, after all that relaxation... was perfect

[@DClairRobinson]

Wow Carson is so vocally precise

[@geologindocumentary3605]

Guitars yes, we know....but what wonderful voices....😍 waiting for you in Italy....✌

[@jimluff7520]

You guys are simply the best! Don't know how else to put it.

[@redrock1963]

The harmonies, the guitar tones - Just beautiful.

[@nopenadanowaynohow]

My dad was one heck of a singer, his guitar was 52-3 Gibson J-50. This was one of the songs he often sang and played. He's been gone over 20 years now ( I'm 56) but i sure do miss him, and his music. You guys have no idea how you good really are! Always remember though, the memories you get, and those you leave behind will mean more than any amount of $. Keep playing and singing, but most of all, have fun !

[@conjius]

beautiful

[@lawriealvos7418]

Beautifully done there boys a pleasure to listen to 👍👏😊

[@chalupacabra1727]

I'm so glad I found this channel. It quenches the thirst of my soul. Glad to see music is still alive.

[@brianberry3762]

The man in black would be proud of the job you guys done with that song. Absolutely out of this world. Well done👍

[@charlescarter9597]

I like that smile of appreciation from Carson for that tasty little bend from Josh at 2:27. Well done guys!

[@andrewkildea5663]

Amazing guys definitely my favorite version of this song!

[@sifidaniel78]

It was great to see Josh in Stuttgart. Hope to see you in August with Carson.

[@esamgray]

listened to a dozen famous singers doing this, wasn't crazy about any, then here comes y'all - best one yet!

[@myastenson1653]

I am speechless and don't know what to say other than thank you for taking the time to rebuild one of the greatest songs

[@leahsero9753]

My girlfriend and I are driving three hours to see you in Ottawa, could not be more excited! You guys are superb.

[@jacksonrine1]

Long black veil is one of my favorite songs to play.

[@yukonmcgee1640]

I've always loved this song, specifically the cut The Band did on Big Pink. I just wanted to take a second to let you guys know that this video is what convinced me to finally learn it and add it to my repertoire. Thanks!

[@jamesstinson546]

I’m 55 y/o and normally stuck in a classic rock musical rut, but I really dig the music you guys make.

[@fredericovilar7289]

This was recorded by "The Band" in case you dig them.

[@cadenkea9605]

Frederico Vilar originally by lefty frizzell

[@sbearly]

@@fredericovilar7289 And by Mick Jagger with the Chieftians. Great version.

[@bassrun101]

@@sbearly Oh, and Joan Baez in 64 I think it was.

[@WhiskerWhippers]

Dave Matthews also has a good version of this

[@55Cibby]

A classic... and you guys do it beautifully. Josh your buddy reminds me so much of Gordon Waller when he was young of Peter and Gordon the 60’s duo. You two when you play together are as good or better than any duo I remember and I was a teenager in the 1960’s. I think you both could do amazing things as recording artist. Your so much better than what I hear today on the radio.

[@bobking7162]

Brilliant, Lefty and Johnny would have been very impressed.

[@1105renrut]

Went out for breakfast & came home to this! Thank you! Excellent. But wow, 2 hours this has been up & already over 6K views.

By far...the best version that’s ever graced my eardrums. Thanks
