Rocket Man - Elton John cover

[@donnyarmstrong9559]

Holy Shit!!!! This is outstanding!... Hardcore Elton fan here, and this does this song the correct justice. I hope Sir Elton hears it, he will likely have a tear or two in his eyes.

[@zerosugarmatcha7348]

Related to _that Rocket Man_ Armstrong?

[@Iazzaboyce]

@@zerosugarmatcha7348 Do you mean 'Donny Slayton'?

[@jackhope45]

@@Iazzaboyce I think also it is related to Donald Kent fka "Deke" Slayton (ASTP)... But a very great cover anyways 👍

[@davidleinweber]

Really nice. Love the overdubs of banjo and steel. You should do a video explaining how you do it. Thanks for a great song

[@panavision11]

What a soulful rendition of a beautiful song! You hit it again, Laura!

[@gipstetz6720]

Elton.....One of the All Time Best. Excellent....Thank You!

[@jefffrey7825]

AWESOME !!!! The slide giving it a Pink Floyd vibe. Love it.

[@sergiocisneros11]

Love your version, very original Laura. Different stringed, instrumentation, and a change, in, vocals. Raw power.

[@christophemilhe2692]

Plus ça va et plus cette jeune guitariste et chanteuse démontre l étendue de son talent. Bravo Laura, rock on, i love your hard blues shot and groove

[@sandrolaurignano2461]

The banjo and slide are a nice touch. Good stuff!

[@jx14aby]

Gave me chills!

[@DavidVCastro]

I just picked up a banjo this week and have started learning. My uncle suggested using this video to play along. I look forward to learning enough to do that!

[@lawrencestewart3705]

yes.....I thought the slide guitar sounded good

[@mannyfragoza9652]

the song would have just been a plain old cover without the accompaniment

[@lawrencestewart3705]

i agree.....especially the banjo is quite innovative

[@John-nz5vd]

Another beautifully done cover by this wonderful guitarist. Laura never ceases to amaze and delight us.

[@brandonrose7379]

Beautiful old gibson!!!! Sounds awesome!!!

[@ConcernedCitizen-ut9fi]

WOW, WOW, WOW, WHAT A TALENT and VOICE AND STRINGS. Absolutely loved it.

Laura smokes this song likes its her own! What a breath of fresh air !!

[@503dude8]

I was hesitant about clicking on this video, but I'm glad I did. You nailed this song. What a fantastic, beautiful arrangement.

[@loiccampistron1490]

Bravo Laura! Que de progrès au chant depuis toutes ces années! Belle interprétation

[@garysoutham8746]

WOW , Laura that was so amazing. You NEED to get that on a CD and get it played. Elton John would be proud of you. Well done

[@jesusramosaguilar2837]

No matter who's the owner (sir Elton ) of this wonderful song, everytime you play it Laura this will be yours. Beautiful.

[@JeffCrowell11]

Great job Laura. The slide really makes the tune. Merci!

[@tomsubsailor7314]

The banjo and slide guitar really pulled this together, nice work!

[@jdrosborough]

You're one badass, Laura. What a beautiful intor to 2022 . This song is huge, iconic -- and with all the greatness in its legacy from Sir Elton to those who have covered it -- this is a new layer, most needed. I love it. I can't wait to scroll through the rest of your videos!

[@rafaelbr9199]

I hope that Elton john will see this brilliant performance - you gave it new colors a new energy big applause.

[@chuckunplugged]

I bet he'd love this beautiful soulful tribute what could be better?❤

[@KaiRogge]

And again such a hammer cover version. The slide guitar & the vibration in the voice. So much emotion and devotion.❤

[@Pappenheim40]

Great, absolutely GREAT !!! Such a fine and subtile Version. Thx Laura... !

Fantastic cover Laura! 🎵🎶🏆🎵🎶👏👏👏👏

[@rjjsreactions-rk7zh]

Wow! Laura does NOT disappoint! 🙂

[@carlinuxremix4267]

Thank You... Great Song and beautiful country cover 🥰😍

[@chrishastings6312]

I always loved the story telling aspect of this song. Hearing it on acoustic and accompanying instruments made the song more impactful. You sang it beautifully and made it soulful. Like it was like a small ripple in a pool of water that keeps growing and making it way across the entire body of water.

[@joederosas5654]

Thank you for this stunning version Laura, much appreciated!

[@tim9430]

Wow! What a laid back style...like you're talking to us. So honest a sharing. Thank you.

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. So GREAT to hear your treatment of this piece. Really sensitively performed and wonderfully edited. Appreciated.

[@laudirjunior8922]

I loved this guitar! It's a dream to have one of these, but with Laura along, playing! She's so beautiful! I loved the video! 🇧🇷🤟🏻❤

[@DiamondCutter423]

Always outstanding Laura. We love you.

[@johnlevison9552]

Super outstanding version sung by the beautiful and talented Laura Cox.Even Elton would give it a thumbs up.LAURA IS A SUPER STAR!!

[@jonnybeck6723]

Love the way the acoustic guitar came out... AND, Love your take on this, one of my all time favorites for many MANY years (Oh good grief!)

[@joelrooks389]

Simply amazing. Thank you so much!

[@theldun1]

Thanks Laura, always glad to see you post.

[@RockNRoller66]

This is so beautiful. Especially in these sad times. I am reminded of the old Elton Live in Lenigrad VCR I used to rent from Blockbuster. It was so rare it made the birds frown. I should have kept it.

[@clayrowden3916]

Hi Laura Cox, this is absolutely beautiful. So basic, yet tremendous depth. All four instruments mate in a wonderful way. I love this! Thank you for sharing.

[@joedow100]

I keep coming back to this it's so beautiful. So much soul .

[@peterbramah]

Love it. No fancy video, just an incrediblty talented musician. Watched it twice.

[@trainstop236]

Vocals deep powerful and raw I love it, Guitars and banjo as usual relaxed and flawless. Thanks for the time and the effort in making the production its totally appreciated.

[@jeffnelson9420]

Interesting montage of instruments...I like it 👍. The vocals fit in perfectly. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and have a Blessed Day.

[@imannonymous7707]

Powerful vocal performance..the banjo was a nice touch...it lifts the pre chorus just enough to pull the listener in

[@osvthor_115]

I’m shocked, your voice and the guitar sound really transmit the emotions from the song, I don’t even know what else to say, absolutely amazing

[@johnmasterson1226]

A great performance. You have a beautiful voice and are a talented multi- instrument musician. A true one woman band!

[@robbcollins3727]

Been enjoying Laura for a couple of years.. Very talented! Thank you Laura, your rendition of Rocket Man is Excellent!!

[@donaldbest1295]

Wonderful! Just what I needed on this melancholy this afternoon with the snow piling up and many of my family so far away. Thanks Laura.

[@ChiefWilliams]

Such a beautiful version of this song you are very talented

[@micheldionne5882]

So talented and rich voice. Impressive performance. Thanks for sharing.

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

I'm not an Elton fan as such but I grew up with his music in the charts, and this is a great song. And a truly great cover here, thanks

[@lawrencestewart3705]

sounds really good Laura.....I'm a huge fan.....Thanks so much for sharing!!!!!

[@SC04R1]

Always impressive. Thx for sharing! Keep on rockin laura!

[@steffarc]

J'aime beaucoup ton cover de cette chanson en version plus calme, plus cool. Un vrai moment de plaisir; merci

[@ianmacdonald34]

This is a very unique interpretation of this song. Very few people can do Elton John justice, but you clearly accomplished it. And , like Davey Johnstone, you are a extremely talented musician, able to play almost any instrument you come across. I know both of them would be pleased and appreciative of your worthy endeavor, well done....

[@tec1702]

Great job Laura i just became one of your fans. This takes me back to my youth. Everyone best strap in and hold on tight Laura's taking us to Mars!

[@stevedenon9508]

Back in the 70's, well done. Excellente version Laura, si simple et tellement complexe à la fois.

[@TheColorfulRadio]

Guitare, banjo, lap steel, la classe. Très belle cover, bravo et merci !

[@jaytribett4677]

Jay Tribett, Laura you have such magnificent talent and your vocals, Wow! I could listen to you anytime and anywhere, Thank you so very much.

[@laetitiafreres5691]

Je vous ai découvert ce week-end lors du festival Label Guit'art, une magnifique découverte musical, j'ai adoré et je prend plaisir à découvrir tout vos convers et composition sur KZbin. Au plaisir de vous revoir dans un prochain festival.

[@mark1webb956]

Superb. Love the banjo and lap steel to compliment the simplicity of acoustic guitar. Excellent.

[@noremacbeez]

Magic Laura..... I have enjoyed your content for years.... it's wonderful to see an artist in full bloom!!

[@drjay555]

This shows your dedication and versatility Laura. Been watching you for years. You’re amazing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️

[@adda414]

Bravo Laura, je vous ai découverte par hasard sur KZbin il y a un moment et je ne me lasse pas de vous écouter. Voix magnifique, maîtrise instrumentale et tempo incontestables. Vous étiez faites pour faire de la musique et faire de belles reprises réappropriées en plus de vos créations personnelles. Je vous encourage à continuer !

[@giostroppa]

Great work.. singing and lap steel work. Did justice to the song

[@paullebarde7838]

Quel plaisir et quelle chance d'avoir une blueswoman de ce niveau en France! On aimerait en entendre plus dans nos radios et nos télés. Superbe cover

[@danieljulian4676]

Nice performance. You had great material to start with, including all those stringed instruments and a recording studio in your hallway. Honor to you for giving a truly great old song new life.

[@Spitfireperson]

Ive heard many versions of this...and this is one of the very very best.....i was waiting for the searing, howling, electric guitar solo to come...it didnt, and it was so so good.........but in a way, i wish it did... The vocals are truly outstanding.. More.. More.. More!!!

[@JSOO59]

WOW! Huge Elton John fan and I thoroughly enjoyed that. Sort of bluesy folksy and worked really well. Nice job and thank you for sharing your talent.

[@danetritle7447]

This new Laura Cox cover sounds awesome; does life get any better? Thanks, Laura! Great job.

[@raystupka3823]

If I new every single way to say amazing,I would say them all. Truly amazing job..

Complimenti Laura, stupendo arrangiamento, brava.👏👏

Incredible! Can't wait to hear more. Well done Laura!

I am in awe. This is amazing - Laura is amazing

[@percarell6550]

Thanks Laura! Amazing cover! The first time I heard this song was in the TV-series "Greatest American Hero".

[@kennethcolbert2921]

I have been a fan of your for a long time in the USA but this is the first time I really did enjoy your singing you did this song way better than he ever could.

[@1contemporary]

I have been a fan since day one. Your play has always been off the charts. Your singing has improved so much proving that singing is learned not inherited.

[@jesussanz101]

I had to put on my tip toe to select this song in a jukebox/gramola when it was first released. A lot of water have passed under the bridge since then but, still make me shiver. Tks for this cover Laura.

[@NoFretts]

Outstanding rendition of a classic song. Thank you for sharing :)

[@MarieWalsh]

Beautiful rendition Laura ! Well done, thank you for sharing x

[@jimcrowell5093]

Sir Elton should be very proud of your rendition flippin beautiful 👍❤✌

[@joestrat2723]

Bravo! The lap steel and banjo are a nice touch.

[@thinkpadoxford2036]

Very good. The flick to the Banjo is rather comical!

[@ik3140]

I don’t usually like cover versions of a song, but this really adds to the original. Bravo!

[@yao_barna]

Sir elton laura cox's style. This is great, I am a huge fan of yours! Best!!!

[@stephanscholz]

..... Shine on, Rocket Man, you crazy diamond... nice cover version 🙂

[@dergap]

Wunderschön. Ich habe großen Respekt vor dieser Cover - Version. Sehr nah am Original. Wunderschön.

[@rdouglas1965]

Haunting rendition. Absolutely brilliant.

[@jeanmarieferger5818]

Sincèrement ça fait plaisir que des jeunes artistes perpétuent ce genre de musique !!!

[@philo5616]

Beautiful performance, Laura. Banjo and slide guitar were a great addition!

[@nov20five]

An incredibly creative and unique treatment to a classic song. Very impressive!

[@ricardoelcondor]

Hi Laura lovely playing and singing. 👏🏻 ,👏🏻,👏🏻. Best wishes from London.

[@patrickingalls5954]

Wow! Absolutely beautiful! Just wow!

[@TheVinorosso09]

Laura, what a soulful interpretation of this iconic song by Elton John, which you performed skilfully without a piano but with three guitars, crowned with your changeable voice. I'm looking forward to seeing you live here in Munich soon, especially since you've proven with this interpretation that you can cover more than just classic rock songs perfectly alongside your own songs.

[@chrisanderson3149]

Laura, Elton and Bernie I’m sure would be moved by your performance, pure talent!

[@maxplanck9055]

Nice singing with good intensity,the slide sounds good to,a good cover Laura ✌️❤️🇬🇧

[@kyles5513]

One of the best covers of this song I ever heard

[@deanroddey2881]

Very well done. The banjo is an interest touch that works really well. Just shows that a good song can be rendered in almost any style and still be a good song if done well.

[@sunnyzaman]

Great singing and that banjo is the cherry on top!
