Mary Ann - Ray Charles (feat. Beth Goodfellow, Elijah Fox, Marc Encabo) | Among Friends (Ep. 6)

[@antonyalumkal1526]

Beth has some crazy good technique on the drums.

[@lptomtom]

She sounds bloody fantastic too!

[@acaldwel]

Came here to say this.

[@Gruuvin1]

I know! I'm a guy drummer, and it thrills me to no end to see a girl groove like this on drums, with finesse and authority! It's rare!

[@antonyalumkal1526]

@@The_Muffin_Man Thanks for the tip! Will do.

[@StuartMStrickland]

Nice little stick twirl at 2:21, too. Wasn't expecting that!

[@carsonmckeemusic]

Good god that's a groove. Just spectacular all around.

[@MartyPrueTimelessMusicandBands]

Carson, I am an almost 75 year old (May 24th) still working one or two gigs a week musician Guitar player/singer. I have been a very big appreciator (fan?) of you and Josh's excellent covers and originals for at least the last 5 years or so. I'm a native Californian relocated to Texas 26 years ago. I caught your show in Dallas last month and dragged my wife and another couple to the show. They weren't as familiar with ya'll but are now. By the way, I had a band in the late 1960's called "The Others". We had one single release on Mercury Records called "I'm in Need". We were good enough to open for a few bigger named groups back then. The Turtles, The Byrds and The Doors. Now to the point about this song. I had an older brother who played drums with a big R&B group and he turned me on to Ray Charles when I was about 12. (I started guitar lessons at 9). He loved this song Mary Ann and we would listen to it and play along with it back then. I in turn have loved it over the years and probably only got to play it in a band once or twice. Josh and Beth, Marc and Elijah (My God what great jazz chops that boy has!!!!!!!!!!) capture the feel that Ray's group had even without the horns. Josh does a great simulation on his guitar and you don't even really miss them. The Groove that you mentioned IS Spectacular and Beth makes all that happen so easily!! Anyway, I really enjoyed you guy's show! I was hoping and would have loved to see Tony and Reina join ya'll but maybe next time...

[@downtoearth5108]

You're a great muzo as well Carson. Love watching you, Josh and all the collaboration artist.

Masterclass in drumming.

[@jaakkot9661]

Damn, the drummer is amazing. Time, dynamics, control and mostly SWING! Damn inspiring.

[@macski6924]

She does a lot more than drum too. Very talented singer as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ2neHmohZmBnas

Anyone who makes drumming like this look easy, is a master of her art.

[@jhake67]

now that is what i call.... MUSIC!

[@XLBiker13]

That piano player... WOW!

[@thomascussans9844]

Beth is, simply, a sensation. Not just the precision. More the presence. She one serious No. 1 talent.

[@toms4123]

Every time I listen to it I like it even more

[@loveistheanswer8137]

Anything with that bass player smiling like that gets a thumbs up. Josh is awesome, of course

[@PB200559]

Undisputably the best 4 musicians I've ever seen and heard playing in a garden shed. Outstanding, you should be filling the The Royal Albert Hall

[@GregN456]

Have you seen Radio Shack by Vulfpeck? That's pretty good too!

[@chichibangbang3667]

The Royal Albert Hall "Garden Shed"? I agree. Fantastic musicianship and Kelly is great behind the camera

I never tire of hearing this version of Mary Ann from Josh and Friends! And I could watch and listen to Beth on drums forever!! Just sayin' it doesn't get much groovier than this! I bet Ray is smiling and rockin' from the grave!!

[@thomasmoores8239]

The travelogue is so entertaining and Josh and Kelly have such interesting friends. I look forward to each release.

[@brianblase5573]

Aint nothing like the soft touch of a woman's hands on a drum set.... my god! Wow! You guys should put out an entire album of these recordings!

[@vinayrao3273]

What is even better than getting to listen to a brilliant guitarist and vocalist is listening to him sing and play with equally talented friends all in a state of Flow. Thank you for your work.

[@tresjbenet]

Yeah drummer is the unsung hero of this jam. All were fantastic ❤

[@izique]

I just knew Beth Goodfellow in Reina's new video ("1970") - what a fantastic drummer!!! (all of you are great, indeed)

[@meetu_]

I can't express how much I love this series. It's so good, groovy and relaxing! I can't compare it to anything I know!

[@mumblbeebee6546]

The flow of Beth’s drum sticks over the set is just marvellous! All the music is lovely, and your two travelogues is such a joy to be able to partake in!

[@johnmcnaughton26]

Nothing warms my 70 year old heart more than seeing young kids having fun recreating classic R & B tunes like this. The beauty of music is that you have to re-create it and reinvent it every time you play it. Also, I love all the tempo changes. The drummer literally never missed a beat during all the changeovers.

[@ben3tiger]

I’m with you my friend, 70 here as well, circa 1951

[@johnmcnaughton26]

@@ben3tiger Hey, we're still on the right side of the grass! 1951 was a great year, indeed.

[@BerndSchmitt-Martinique]

Young men - I am 71 - and I feel the same about this phantastic musicians. So it seems to me, it is not a question of age. By the way, to year 1950 was the best! Greetings from Germany. God bless you all.

[@zeppelinman1685]

That drummer is exceptionally good.

[@TonyClarkGuitar]

She might be one of the best drummers I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen and played with a LOT of great drummers. All of them are amazing musicians.

[@lisafox1001]

Yaaaassss!

The world is full of unknown talent. The unknown is often preferable to the known. Garden sheds rule.

[@beboboymann3823]

Yes ladies and gentlemen, coming direct to you from Lawn Mower Shed Studios! Good job.

[@markcasey3991]

A whole nother level of awesome American music right there folks. I do believe Ray was smiling down on that one. And Beth nailed it.

[@Dr_Do-Little]

Special like to Beth Goodfellow for the funky drive and... Her "stance change" 🥁

[@FreedomRock44]

Well done all of you....YOU did RAY proud!!!!!!!

[@DieterKrauss]

Dude the drumming was amazing. I'm speechless... Josh is great as always and the bass and piano as well. But the drummer! God damn...

Absolutely cool your Music and the drummer, ohh my goodness

[@asafuli]

I'm deeply in love with this series.

[@martinlynn3699]

Glad to see Marc playing upright bass. I've never seen him not have fun. Totally great rendition of a great tune. They say your friends are a reflection of yourself so Josh should be proud and so should his friends. And that drummer is smokin'. Never listened to drums much but I've gained an appreciation for good drummers (mostly because of bad drummers). She's great. And the piano cooks too. Just a great tune all around.

[@brentbailey4900]

Wow. You are all very special muso's, but Beth you are amazing on this one. We hope to see more of your work on this channel.

[@oleplanthafer7034]

So great to see young 'uns being aware of the vast box of cultural sweets prepared by past generations - and instinctively knowing what to pick, with natural savoir-fair... made my day! 😃

[@leealtman]

Oh my that was absolutely divine (headphones for max effect). My favourite here: the drummer & her tastefully executed grooves

[@thomascussans9844]

Speechless. Everything, but everything, exact to an astounding degree. And Ms Goodfellow banging away, twirling her drumsticks . . . just, cripes. Perfection. A whole new understanding of garage music. And can I add, the usual Josh touch of perfect sound balance? I am struggling for words. What an utter delight.

[@BillMarion]

The drummer steals the show in this one! Great groove!

[@tmeyer2022]

That's wild! Ray would be rockin wit cha!

[@mortbot]

Love this!!!... But, the coolest one on camera is .... The drummer!!!

[@mudhens4ever]

So much to love about this vid: The energy, the musicianship, the tempo changes (especially love the shuffle part), the vocals, and the drummer’s ability to play with verve while not being overbearing!

[@tjgarrison5248]

Can't believe I haven't heard Beth before. She plays the tastiest stuff. Everything else is awesome top shelf. But I mean come on that's awesome grooving.

[@SempreGumby]

Check out Madison Cunningham in the Paste Studio in New York. That is where I first met Beth Goodfellow's drumming.

[@michaelkearns8499]

He keeps outdoing himself. And the band. No words

[@gregcarrier8662]

The musicianship on the part of all involved is just outstanding, but it's the drums that impress me the most.

[@ODR96]

It's refreshing to see a drummer really showcasing the depth of tones you can get out of a snare alone and really exploit it so creatively in a groove like this - and the technique was so controlled! Awesome tune, awesome musicianship all around

[@mikeshawbrook-selfreliance]

[@KieranSaighir]

Memories of when this octogenarian was a teen listening to Alan Freed playing original rock and roll music. This little combo here really nailed the Ray Charles sound.
