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/#shows

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

[@terry10tnj]

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

[@Tropicalpisces]

Me and my ole bestie would second you on that.

[@unstartedartist]

this is one of my fav beatles songs

[@yiannismikalis7315]

One of my favorites to play and sing!

[@neelparekh3448]

Show them Revolution 9.

[@capitanbyrd]

Terry Johnson who on earth would tell you that???

[@rasgueado]

Human race has hope as long as there are people like you who can perform this song this beautifully.

[@tonysilvia9593]

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.

[@danielbeggan8024]

Yes I agree. These guys have the essence of the song all wrapped up 🎼🎵🎶🎵🎺

[@ardenaudreyarji]

I mean... It's The Beatles so...

[@tomf429]

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

[@MrRogsmart]

I cannot overstate how much I love seeing the four of you make music together. There seems to be a natural synergy there.

[@SaamanSei]

The simpleness of what we see just reveal how much they work, and how much they are talented :)

[@robrussell5329]

This song was written almost 30 years before these kids were born. What an great era of songwriting. Not just McCartney, but so many scores of other songwriters. And it lives on today and is appreciated by these excellent musicians and budding songwriters.

[@Markle2k]

@@GP-qi1ve Josh was born in 1992. He and Carson met in 8th grade. Reina is 5 years their senior.

[@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.

[@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!

I loved the detail of having the Gideon Bible on the table!

These kids are brilliant!, check out their other stuff. I was born in the 50s , this is as good as you'll get. No gimmicks and you can see it on their faces, they love it!. Long may it continue.

[@pjfan173]

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

[@bluenoser2952]

Reina - lead vocals Josh - lead guitar and vocal harmony Toni - bass, vocal harmony and big cheesy grins Carson - intro, vocals, harmonica and wadded up hotel towel What a crew! Don't ever stop being you.

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

I think the towel had ice in it.

[@tsommers3284]

I’m sure there was ice in that towel!!

[@CarlstromVideo]

[@joanribesgirones7415]

Tina Heath es vocalista excelent

[@user-wf5co6ct7l]

Now, if this quartet of brilliant musicians asked Allison Young to join them, I reckon we’ll have a supergroup on our hands.

[@mixedartsofmartialmadness5219]

So glad young people still listen to the beatles and others.... there is hope Yet!! 🙏💚

[@MegaJanza]

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

[@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.

[@TenThumbsProductions]

You all are great.

[@davidkramer9010]

YALLS GREAT

[@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.

[@2gunz122]

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

[@josegimenez7508]

i'm 69 and a brazilian beatlemaniac . Congratulations young boys and girls.

You four are a perfectly tuned engine: it is not just about the great harmony, but it is even more about the joyful energy you create. Thank you! From Finland.

[@aaronlandau5575]

She has such a unique and beautiful voice. Such tight musicianship too, they're visibly having a ton of fun while playing near perfectly in time and synchronicity.

Her vocal timbre is sublime for this song. :)

[@dabannecypiano4876]

Bravo à Josh, Reina, Toni et Carson. Vous êtes des excellents musiciens avec beaucoup de talent.

You guys are so good - I am 67 and love your music, together or separate. I am amazed you have found each other despite living different parts of the country.

[@alanfairchild9729]

Love the outtakes. Happy people producing beautiful music in the most unusual surroundings. Regards to all from the UK.

[@als3243]

I can hear Toni stifling her laughs during the outtake. Its no wonder Carson was looking like he was about to bust out laughing himself.

[@MauroBrisola]

Biggest complaint I have about this four guys songs videos is I can give just one thumbs up for each video...

[@dangermain486]

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

[@oscarofastora4447]

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

[@BruceLehman-lt5mj]

One of my favorite songs from back in '79, brings tears to my eyes

[@alejolopera]

great great great Job..... THanks...saludos desde Colombia

[@randyevans5407]

One of my fav Beatles songs....you did it fabulously....thanks!

[@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.

[@als3243]

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.

[@ILoveMagic15]

I can't put into words how happy this made me. I especially loved Carson's intro and the harmonising at 2:53. Please continue collaborating with Josh & Carson and continue covering Beatles songs. You guys are my favorite KZbin musicians and make my day every time you upload!

[@BiLatKnee]

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.

[@bentonscrivener]

Oh yea?!?! Well, I once had a raccoon named Rocky! ✌🏻

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

[@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 !!

[@tomtomlinson7517]

As a child of the '40s and growing up in the '50s and '60's you, as well as your talented friends, bring back so many wonderful memories of my youth. When I first saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show as I sat cross-legged in front of a B&W television with rabbit ears, I looked at my WWII veteran father and said "They look like girls" with their really not so long hair as what was yet to come. Thank you, Reina, from the bottom of my heart for keeping the wonderful music of my youth alive, and might I add, doing really damn well!

[@francisesalazar2709]

Now that was worth waking up to Reina! Thanks josh, Carson and Toni! Bravo, 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Reina, you guys nailed it!

[@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.
