Still Crazy After All These Years - Paul Simon Cover

[@elleandtoni]

Oh the dreaded hotel room knock. Hard to imagine someone complaining about hearing that performance in the next room though. Beautiful.

[@leszektemplewicz3362]

I laughed really hard about that knocking. It makes that video perfect

"Why does the room next door have a better radio than my room?"

[@Joe.Doucette]

@@Rwededyet That comment made me smile. Thanks for sharing.

[@williampaganucci1084]

Great as always Josh. Did you ever think of you and Carson teaming up with 2 other musicians? Maybe 2 girls from MN?

[@MattPooleopaltotem]

[@PaulDavids]

Goosebumps all over, wonderful Josh!

[@JoshTurnerGuitar]

Thanks Paul!

[@aniximander]

I saw your video about Paul's perfect chord progression earlier today and it reminded me of Josh. It appears that I was not alone. Anyway, I'm a fan of all 3 and I wish you all the best. Paul has already earned his retirement, but I hope that for both of you the best is yet to come.

[@erikwolfe9467]

Quite a compliment coming from you Paul!! sure that brought a smile to Josh's face.

[@kevenlefrancois1453]

Oh! Maybe a Collab here? I hope.

[@paulyoung8232]

After hearing this rendition just once, I packed my family in the car, drove 300 miles to Swansea and saw one of the best performances of our lives. My son laughed at me as a I shed a tear when you played this tune live for us. I laughed back when he had to sleep in the car as we couldn’t find anywhere to stay! Thanks Josh for the memories and inspiration. Hopefully see you again soon.

[@JoshTurnerGuitar]

That show and tour are one of my fondest memories, especially now. Thank you for sharing that story, it means a lot.

[@andymac345]

I don’t usually comment but as a dad I totally get it, it was nice that you shared. 🙂

[@leson8984]

Could you please share it to KZbin, i really want to watch Josh performing this masterpiece live, thanks in advance, he is a great artist.

[@EatingMachine23]

I am blessed to have tickets to see them in Leeds in September. Quite a drive for me too but it will be worth it 😁

[@Axel_Andersen]

I managed to juggle my business trip to catch the show at Malvern, flu 2000 km and drove 200 km from Yorkshire to Malven and then to London just to see and hear Josh. Thank you for the music. Such a a talent and likeable personality.

[@joebuczek312]

Josh Turner and Carson McKee are the "Simon and Garfunkle" of our time.

[@lw216316]

For those who don't know - that is very difficult guitar playing - and its being done on a steel string acoustic guitar - much harder than a nylon string guitar or electric guitar - now if you want to double the difficulty then try singing at the same time as you play all those unusual and difficult chords - let's bump it up another level of difficulty and do a classic that everyone knows and will hear any tiny mistake you make - let's put icing on the cake by sounding as good as the original. Thanks Josh - for your appreciation and tribute to the classic songs of my youth. I only discovered you recently and I keep listening to one song after another when I only plan to listen to one, cause I got other things that need doing.

[@teunroodzant9164]

do you happen to know the tuning? i want to figure out tabs but somehow cant get the tuning down right

[@lw216316]

[@ianson3]

The acid test is when an artist takes a song that you don't particularly like and turns it into something you can't live without. That is what Josh Turner has done for me with Still Crazy. Breathtaking.

[@millsmillsmills203]

I'm not the biggest fan of the album version, but any acoustic version of this song I absolutely love.

[@ianson3]

@brian elliot The album version? No, heard it too many times. The Josh Turner version? Definitely.

[@nitovsten]

I stand next to you Mitch on that one.

[@halalburger267]

I don't like the album version, but concert in central Park 1982 is probably the best version of any song Paul simon ever did, check it out if you haven't!

[@tiagoap2895]

@brian elliot no, he was crazy after all these years...but not anymore :)

[@pedrodavidbr]

I'm 68. Still crazy after all these years. Thank you

[@MrNcgy]

[@illiamdeebe7579]

This song is so New York.. steam rising from the manholes, late at night the streets still wet from rain, shopkeepers sweeping out front pushing dirt into the gutter, people yelling in the distance, high heels on the sidewalk, taxis idling. Even the sound your fingers make through all the chord changes as they work up and down the neck. This song is 100% better with eyes closed. It really paints a picture. Excellent job.

Josh astutely mimics the subtle lilt of Paul's voice, and yet manages to add original smoky vocal hues that compliment the distinct resonance of that spruce top Martin.

[@4ndresolis]

wow you're good with words

[@jimajello1028]

This man is an incredible guitarist & vocalist. Keep your eyes & ears open for he is going to present some unique, progressive & profound material the likes of no other musician. His original material & what he conceives in his arrangements like a fine wine is coming into development and birth.

When they make a Paul Simon biopic, Josh, you HAVE TO play him and do the soundtrack. Amazing. Thank you.

Paul Simon is easily one of the best American poet/songwriters ever. Up there with Dylan and Springsteen.

[@yonkel0]

He smokes Springsteen and I'm not sure Dylan ever wrote with such elegance and assured poetry.

[@PastPerspectives11]

[@liwmld]

50+ crazy years here... i was just fixin' to comment the same, so i hope you won't mind if i step into your thread to say i agree. Josh is an amazingly gifted artist, like his mentor Paul Simon.

[@jeffking4176]

Ulrich Schnier He really does sound just like him. I almost had to do a double-take. 📻🙂

[@richardpentelow655]

What’s the point of sounding exactly like Paul Simon? Is he a tribute band?

[@v2807]

Richard Pentelow-Well....yes. As he said at the beginning, he is performing in a celebration of Paul Simon’s Graceland. So, there’s that reason to try to sound like him.

[@Rouverius]

Yeah, I get it. And then kinda get tripped up and think I'm hearing sweet baby James.

Crazy. I was recommended 'Paul Simon playing STILL CRAZY on Dick Cavett' (before the song was finished), so I watched that. Then a few videos later, I was recommended your ABBA video, watched that. Then I clicked on your channel to see what other covers you have done, and I end up right back where I started haha.

Can't private message you so... Tonight in the the Glasgow royal concert hall was unbelievable! Took 4 others with me who had never properly listened to you and they were all blown away.

Hope it brings you much more of the recognition you deserve. I sat beside someone who had travelled down from Aberdeen to see the show and who had to head back up again afterwards, through all that dreadful rain. He said Graceland was his family's favourite album and he loved what you all achieved. Getting Edinburghers dancing in the aisles is no mean feat!
