Josh, Carson, Toni, and I are currently on a duo x duo tour through the midwest and South, and we thought we'd do a Sunday Morning video from our hotel room in Austin, TX. What better hotel room song than "Rocky Raccoon," complete with Gideon's Bible.
We have rescheduled most of our 2020 concerts. Take a look at the dates and see if we're coming to your town later this year or early next year! reinadelcid.com...

Love how they filmed this in a hotel room with a Gideon Bible.

[@iantroup]

Just as I remember it, I used to play this song to my Mother who absolutely loved it, we had such fun. She's long gone now & I'm 68 & haven't played a guitar in years but after finding this I might just take it up again as I have grandchildren now. Thank you much for sharing.

[@larryknowles2802]

And sing them this song Grandpa! Music is life and Love💜💜💜💜

[@nancyhynes8775]

Your grandchildren...and you yourself...will love having you pick up that guitar again.

It still shocks me when I hear people refer to this as the “worst” Beatles song. I’ve always loved it.

Me and my ole bestie would second you on that.

I was a Beatles fan long before you folks were born and I am thrilled to see such love, attention to detail and genuine joy that shines from you in this most excellent cover. You all are amazing musicians.

[@laszlok53]

"genuine joy" EXACTLY!!! Their smiles make ME feel good... 🙂 And of course, the music they play... Rare, very rare nowadays.

I can't pick a favorite player. They're all great in this. So was the sound quality. Great microphone.

[@grantalbrecht4402]

it's a wonderful thing when people can laugh together.

[@fabiogn1]

Beatles... simplest song turns into a classic . 50 years have passed and we still singing the same songs, what a magic...

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

Part of the magic is that it seems simple. But how many millions of bands out there never get a hit and the Beatles could pump out one after the other for almost 10 years? They had a gift of seemingly simple words put to timeless music and it worked for them as a recipe to create masterpieces.

[@kitano0]

Toni's face at around 3:00 expresses the love of music so much!

[@thomasbower7727]

It's not just that the Beatles gave us such great songs. It's not even that AND the fact that they gave us so many great songs. It's that they gave us so many great songs in so many different styles.

[@kaptaintrips]

Can't go wrong when they Paul made a Country Beatles song way back in 1968!

[@burlingtonbill4687]

When my daughter was a little girl in about 1972 or 3, she had a rocking horse and would rock to this tune as I would play it on my guitar. She knew every word and would get that horse going like crazy. Fun memory! Thanks guys.

[@pjfan173]

Paul McCartney is truly one of the greatest vocalist. This is a very respectable cover. Great job people

[@MegaJanza]

I’m totally in awe every time Reina starts to sing, just an amazing voice.

This is just about the best cover of this song ever..Toni's guitar playing and Reina's singing make this outstanding.. !

Toni isn't playing guitar that's a bass. Josh is the one playing the guitar

This is an extremely important cover of my favorite Beatles song. Don't believe me? My nickname in high school was Rocky because I liked this song so much.

[@Scout81]

Nice to see some of this generation carrying on the great music of my time. Hope McCartney is watching.

[@roberthultz9023]

I thought this was a Lennon song and that he was writing lyrics right up to recording .

[@Scout81]

@@roberthultz9023 The song was primarily written by Paul McCartney while playing acoustic guitar with John Lennon and Donovan in India where the Beatles had gone on a retreat. There was some light background harmony at times with Paul doing all the lead vocals.

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

@ksfhhnfan That does indeed seem to be the case. However I have heard interviews where Paul and John seemed to have some debate/conflict over who wrote certain songs or parts of songs. But this particular song is very Paul. I understand they wrote close to 50 songs while in India which is amazing not only because of the number but also because they are all spectacular.

[@rweaver6]

You people are so freaking awesome at covers. Seriously. If you end up writing original material to match your musicianship and spunk, you will have redeemed the twenty-first century.

This is one of my favorite Beatles songs, so I feel it carries some weight when I say I really like this cover

[@scottrowe533]

I have long loved impromptu, underproduced and playful music videos like this one. They showcase how very talented the artists are, as there is no hiding the mistakes, and they serve to take the fans along on a creative joyride that might otherwise go unseen. Thank you all very much.

[@markg454]

The four of you making music makes my heart soar like a hawk.

[@robertdenson3375]

One of my favorite things is Reinas vocal delivery . It is clear and precise, great care is taken. Almost over pronunciation. Easy to understand. Her , Toni, and the guest artists give me a optimistic feeling of the past clear thru the future for music !!

I made it to the Dallas concert and it was one of the happiest nights of my life. Also, Josh asked if there was anyone in the audience who was there other than because of KZbin and I had brought my friend who hadn't ever really heard much of either group, and she asked me afterward, "Why aren't they famous already?" I know you're all getting there, and touring the country is the way to do it. Thanks to all four of you for showing up on your Southern tour. What a treat! Reina, your t-shirts are very cool.
