The Other Favorites - Have Mercy (Official Video)

[@AaronCouron]

I wish upon the world MORE of this. These guys are taking the American roots and folk traditions and advancing them to the 21st century. Talent, Thoughtfulness, Artistry, Technique. Respect. And have accomplished all of this organically. No record company. No backing. No contract. No marketing.

[@luthiermatt]

No effects. No auto tune. Minimal instruments. Nothing to hide behind. Just raw music laid bare. Bravo.

[@soultylive]

and huge amount of work and talent

[@45156]

Josh and Reina - brilliant - Josh and Larkin - amazing - Josh and Kelly - very amazing - Josh and Kami - absolutely amazing - Josh and Carson - perfection - this guy just knocks everything else out of the park, whoever he plays with, but with Carson, I believe that he has a natural musical soulmate

[@jimbo_bomberino8606]

also hes been playing with Carson since high school, so he plays a lot more with him than anyone else. But yeah, they sound absolutely amazing together.

[@ILoveMagic15]

Holy smokes, the songwriting is sooo good. This is peak 70s singer-songwriter stuff. To call you underrated is an understatement. I‘ll buy that album the first day it comes out.

[@mikus4242]

I will buy it as well.

[@DanielinLaTuna]

Oh yeah; takes me back to the Portland (Oregon) coffee houses in my college days. And FM radio

[@stevereuber4452]

I'm 57yrs old, I discovered this amazing talent on KZbin about a year ago and was blown away. I have tickets for the Holland Michigan show on the 20th and the Indy show on the 25th. I haven't been this excited to see a show since McCartney at Soldiers field, July 1990 - lol

[@rachelschulte6386]

y’all have done it again. this song is like james taylor at the peak of his career. the guitar is just so warm. well done, guys

[@greggbaker7120]

I thought the,exact same thing.

[@jeffreyevans9431]

@@greggbaker7120 I was accusing Carson of stealing Mr. Taylor's very guitar , myself.

[@BryceRogers_]

reminded me of JT and fingerstyle Clapton

[@steinee100]

A little Beatles after the break too

[@danielvillasboas580]

Two persons who really deserve the money they earn on KZbin.

[@ZavierG1]

Subscribed to you guys for the covers but stayed for the originals. Sounds great!

[@annfairfax9797]

The Simon and Garfunkel of our time. Thank you. Thank you thank you. 💕💕💞💕

[@csababekesi-marton2393]

Guitars shining, voices radiating, lyrics striking. Excellent job, gentlemen.

[@diegomatharangubitosi3670]

Simon & Garfunkel, Lennon & McCartney, Turner & McKee, wooowww

[@AimeeNolte]

Thank you, Josh

[@glencruitt]

And Carson.

[@calkelpdiver]

I'm a 58 year old grown man, and this song had me losing my shit. I'm a hard rock fan, but when I see you all post a video I have to watch it because I know I will see very talented and skilled musicians playing the song. You all show so much passion and talent in contrast to some of the young famous musicians (more like auto-tuned posers) of today. I wish you success and please keep it up. Bring back "real" music to those of us who really appreciate a good song and the people producing it.

[@nicoDona1141]

That is exactly what I feel 👍

[@elmikol2443]

Me too! Must be our age...58 too.

[@Bluesphan]

Me three! ;)

[@kingmarshmusic]

Me four!!

[@JuanManuel-um5nk]

Y yo, realmente me admira y satisface pensar que las nuevas generaciones no han perdido el gusto y la delicadeza por lo bello. Enhorabuena.

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

Well this is incredible on every level: songwriting, singing/OUTSTANDING harmonies, and especially the guitars. Your best original by far.

[@TheAllyBird]

This song was such an accurate expression of how I've felt so often over the last year, depressed and anxious and just so grateful to my beloved for his faithful care and love, when I needed it badly and couldn't give it back very well. Thank you for giving voice to that. I fell in love with the Adorama version, unequivocally my favorite of your originals...and this is better, smoother, sweeter.

[@439tab]

You'll have really gotten good at the two guitar arrangement with Carson fingerpicking and Josh flat picking fills and solos. The singing on this was exceptionally good also, both solo and harmony. Well done gentlemen!

[@jeffreyevans9431]

When BOTH of ya'll are making the stanky face ...we ALL can groove !

[@GastonCohen]

I cant stop listening to this

[@Rio-uh5ux]

Christmas has come early, you guys truly are a gift to modern songwriting.

[@maciejsmycz9340]

Not only came early, it sounds like the most cozy evening in the safest living room on the world. Wonderful guys, wonderful warm sound and great dynamic.

[@thehumblepundit9790]

Beautiful. This song sounds like it belongs on Eric Clapton's "Unplugged" record from almost 30 years ago. Spectacular.

[@ariellalocalwaves]

EVERYtime they pull out the dual Harmony combo you know its gonna hit. As if you can almost bet on it and really come out on top

[@TripleSykz]

Songs like this just make me put my guitar back down.

[@markbates891]

As soon as Carson started singing chills ran right through me.

[@antonyalumkal1526]

Even Josh is making faces. It must be contagious! :) This song is just crazy good.

[@steveblomerth]

The album (Unamericana) on CD, sounds even better than the youtube video online. And the songwriting is unequaled for power, subtlety and depth. It made me go back and find their previous album 'Naysayer'....and The Coney Island Fair will brighten your day and bring a little lump to your throat.

Can’t stop playing it over and over. You guys are my FAVORITES contemporary people making songs, the music released in these days which I really like and love. It feels like a NOS music to me, and that fills my heart. Thanks, Josh and Carson. Keep killing it please!

[@ekdevelopments5062]

I'm a simple man. I see The Other Favorites, I smash that like button

[@lawrencesoliman1565]

too many emotions. Can't choose which one to comment. But i almost cried when i realized i'd have to wait another week for harbinger. Why u do this josh and carson? Why? Have mercy!!!!!

[@jamesrochester787]

Beautiful! Just beautiful. Have watched you both grow from high school talent show act to such talented and accomplished singers/songwriters/ musicians and performers. Thanks for taking us along on your ride. Much appreciated. Over 594,000 subscribers. 1,000,000 is sure to come soon.

[@seaoftranquility7228]

Far out, I hadn’t looked at the subscription numbers, I just assumed it would be in the millions. Shockingly low really, considering the quality. And I totally agree, it’s been amazing to watch them both grow over the years.

[@davidb5127]

This song speaks to me more than any other at this moment. This is the plea I want to sing to everyone I've ever hurt, including myself. This captures the inner turmoil I've had the past year, of simply not feeling good enough. Oh, and it also happens to be one of your most beautiful melodies. Thank you for making this.

[@Raadrugz]

THAT SONG... My favorite! Was the most played song in 2022 for me ;)

[@lozzabool]

Strawberries and cream…perfect.

[@connopv]

I love this song. There are two versions on KZbin and I keep coming back to both.

[@judyrosy]

This.....is my new all time favorite song. Sincerely.

[@shannonvanderhoof4810]

Listening to an Angel sing .. and wow can you heal the world with just one guitar ☆♡☆ I am so grateful. Thank Q Josh !!!

[@Hobodeluxe960]

you guys are getting more and more mature with your craft. this is one of my favs and I've been following you guys for years now. good job guys.

[@jonswartzguitar4563]

It got lots better over the years. Time to redo all the duos you did from your early years.

Been waiting for the bus all day...couldn't resist!

[@marttinstuartnielsen874]

Simply the best part of my Fridays in September 😎😎😁😁

[@1105renrut]

There are some days in life when you’ve worked your ass off all day & are dead tired. You finally get a chance to sit down & put your feet up & check e-mail only to be reminded that it’s Friday & Josh & Carson dropped a new cut today. Obviously, as a long time fan, I’d heard the earlier recording, but nothing prepared me for the rich voices & harmonies in this version. It brought forth so many emotions. Others compared you two to James Taylor. I listened to old JT while showering today & I remembered thinking that although his music is still fantastic, something was missing for me. Now I know what was missing…the intimacy & richness produced here. Thanks for ending my day on a high. So far this album is solid gold.

[@joshblack18]

I'll never get enough of your guitar work, absolutely incredible ❤️

[@YoloSWAGJude]

It's like the old songs. I'm gobsmacked, what a song

[@NurseJoe]

Please keep playing together for another 40years, at least! Love you guys from Italy.

[@lynnmckenna9934]

The writing! OMG!

[@JDGillis]

I love the song, and that funky floor lamp collection too.

[@robbyt.5258]

Beautiful, a level that is rarely encountered today.

[@grizzlyadams1021]

Please play this when ya'll are in Chicago next Monday! Such a beaut, see ya'll soon

[@JRod0409]

Carson Mckee and Josh Turner have become some of my most favorite artists/ cover artists. This is just exceptional, I can't wait for it to be on spotify.

[@twc4907]

Perfect. Nothing else needed to be said. Perfect

[@richardsiebierski5923]

I first chanced upon you guys in July 2019 with the video of "Stuck In The Middle With You", which included Reina and Toni. I was totally gobsmacked. At the end of the month I found myself in hospital for 5 weeks with jaundice which uncovered pancreatic cancer. Mercifully, because it was caught early and was contained in one place, the cancer was operable. After recovering from the jaundice I underwent 7 hours of major surgery to remove the tumour and followed that with 6 months of brutal chemotherapy as a mopping up exercise. Throughout all of that time, in my deepest, darkest days, it was your music that kept my spirits up and kept me going. I only learned well after the event that you played a gig in Leeds on your UK tour while I was in hospital in Huddersfield. I'm glad I didn't know beforehand because it would have been unbearable, as bad as everything was, to know I was missing out on seeing you live. Covers or originals, your music, your talent, your incredible musicianship, your beautiful vocals and harmonies, and your unbelievable performances touch the very depths of my soul in a way I have never experienced before in my life - and I'm 63 so I've been around the block a few times. I've been cancer-free for over a year now and been given a second chance in life. That life, as difficult as it is in these crazy times, is all the richer and sweeter for being able to enjoy the wonderful and soul-inspiring music you guys create. I hope you go from strength to strength for many, many years to come, and that I will one day be fortunate enough to get the chance to see you live. In the meantime, I am now foaming at the mouth with impatience for the release of your new album. God bless you both and all of your musical friends and collaborators. The future of popular/roots music couldn't be in better hands. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@richardsiebierski5923]

Oh my God! I've just found out that The Other Favorites with Reina and Toni are playing in Leeds on 18th November!!! My cherished wish has almost immediately come true. I went to the the guys' site to check on details regarding the album and happened to click on the Tour tab. Call it fate, call it what you will, but I will be there on the night. What a gift - a new album and a gig to enjoy all in the same month. Thank you to the Man upstairs for this blessing!

[@ThePoodleStrudel]

I love that you guys used your Harmony guitars for this song.

[@jessicacosiguitar]

Amazing as always! You two together never disappoint. Greetings from Italy! :)

[@charliekorabek3846]

This song is a masterpiece…brilliant

[@pritchardhall]

Wow. Very nice. Listened 5x, the last 3 with my eyes closed. Nice timbre.

[@EduardoSilva-sm2df]

Here you have a Spanish fan since I heard from you the “Martha my dear” cover…as a Beatles fan I can say that you both are their musical heirs as songwriters and musicians. Wish you come to Spain someday.

[@connorbutler5900]

Awesome to see how far Carson has come on guitar, massive respect. Stellar as always!

[@tomwagner6334]

Raw and from the soul. I continue to be impressed with these lads.

[@epwaffle]

Man I can't even put into words how deeply this song speaks to me. You guys are really hitting your stride.

[@stevemurray2737]

Well now.. that’s the best thing I’ve heard in a long time. I can see Nick Lowe covering this. Great job Lads!

[@sppl623]

oh yeah 2021 in fact will be a good one

[@spud13x13]

I wish I could embrace you both. I'll repeat myself here, but hearing your music and seeing your friendship has meant a great deal to me over the years. Thank you so much.

[@ronaldszudy8184]

Music that causes you to reflect and contemplate life--no matter what decade of that journey you may be traveling. Thanks Carson and Josh...your music nourishes the soul.

[@johnlockelmao4238]

Please, please put this on Spotify man. It would make a shit year great.

[@bobhess5986]

These guys are so talented. Why are they not as famous as ???

Oh lawd have mercy this is amazing

[@jfarinacci0329]

[@mulcairs123]

So smooth guys! I love how the guitars interlock here and those harmonies are golden as always....

[@matwhite57]

This is what I love about KZbin. These two are brilliant..

[@madogblue]

I wached the original video and I think the quality of the camerawork and overall Videography is much better on the original. Both are awesome.

[@bjelliott]

Thank you, gentlemen.

[@gabrielchristimann3089]

Can’t wait to hear the entire album guys 🥵

[@eldallio]

I fell in love with this song the moment I first heard it on the Adorama shoot. Cheers!

[@-R3DB4R0N-]

It's hard to know which one of you to celebrate more. Carson for his deep soulful voice or Josh for his guitar skills. Listening to you fills me with joy and envy at the same time. Also worth mentioning are your slipping facial features when you play :))

[@tylersullivan8150]

Or how perfectly their voices harmonize together

[@AbigailPoirier]

I know what you mean…however one could also say Carson’s guitar skills and Josh’s smooth vocals. Both are really great at both skills!

[@tristan7704]

That was so tight! Especially that ending.

[@stevejimmy9413]

I think it would be super fun to hear you guys play “I saw the light” it’s a great bluegrass country gospel song. I know you guys aren’t religious, but still think it would be awesome to hear!

[@dianeo]

Instant classic. Such a beauty both lyrically and musically.

[@CurvyTomato]

I still come back to this, it heals me. Thank you ◡̈

[@Johncowk]

The more I watch you guys, the more I become a fan. I'm obsessed with your music, thanks so much :D

[@davejung609]

This is what I needed. This is what everyone has needed. Stumbling across this video while mindlessly sifting through my recommended feed was no accident. This is the song that makes you take a few steps back and reminisce about the ones you love most in your life. Thank you for this - melody, harmony, rhythm, lyrics and all, it is handcrafted into a masterpiece, from one heart to another.

[@dylanpasqualini9036]

Aw man, this one's gonna be stuck in my head for a week! 😄🤘

[@johnnybboyd7346]

Wow, wow,wow - oh man you guys have it! Thanks so much, you make a old man happy! Cheers!!

[@papans147]

Lately, I've been going through something of a transition period in my relationship with my parents. Listening to this just made me weep, like a baby on my Mama's bended knee. No exaggeration. (And it isn't even my first time hearing this song, because you guys did that earlier video.) Thank you for your music. I look forward to every video. I pre-ordered the vinyl as soon as I saw your post about it, and I'm not even mad that it'll only arrive next year. I already know that it's going to be one of my most prized records. Also, please give us more behind the scenes footage of you guys working through these arrangements. I need to know which other songs of yours were candidates for the smoke on the water riff. Cheers to you, my favorites.

[@mythicman95]

This makes me feel feelings.
