Katie's voice is out of this planet...❤

[@harper626]

Ellen always has the sweetest smile on her face.

[@a.y.t.a.s.494]

I’m a middle aged man who has never tried to start a family because mine was broken. I get such wholesome feelings watching you folks. What I wonder at most though is how proud mum must be performing with her beautiful and talented children 😢

[@CKD3332]

Me too, i am 41 and nowhere near having a family. Divorce of parents completely changed my life. I was deprived of my Father throughout my life. Alcohol and drugs ruined big parts of my life. I still have a chance to change it. I hope you do too.

[@Jazzbeu55]

Katie is so expressive when she sings. I've heard both the Eagles and Linda Ronstadt sing this song dozens of times, but I never really heard all of the words and emotions hidden in the song until Katie's performance. This is a really great rendition of this song.

[@juliacloud2360]

Katie's voice is so beautiful. 😊

[@solveiglandvikbrg9103]

Oh yes, I do agree with you ! 👧 💛 🎻

[@timfoster7789]

Julia, yes you're so right, Katie seems to become one with the music the violin and the segways, she is so well polished.

Not just her voice, but her playing, her demeanor, and everything else!

[@robertwiltshire3631]

Katie sang that beautifully

[@markrinehart8813]

I've been on this planet for 65+ yrs, I never liked Bluegrass music, nor covers of great rock songs. But one day, just for the fun of it, I seen the Peterson's cover of a long ago Rock song, and much to my surprise I liked they way they covered it. I have been watching/listening to their covers of other songs since, and I also found I like their style of Bluegrass. They are a super good group!

[@markgreen2170]

I guess "you've come to your senses!" ...better late than never:)

[@scubaguy5455]

Bluegrass is God's gift to us. Treasure it.

[@koevirel8350]

My man im originally from Balkan and I never heard songs like this and first time I hear it I was back home in my mind after 23 years traveling like gipsy all over world . People that have music like this are good people and are my kinda people . This family changed my life got me out from deep home sick depression and God bless them for that because they saved total stranger .

[@MikeFurl]

I'm like you. Country music and Bluegrass were never on my radar. But took a listen at the Petersens cover of Bob Denver's "Country Roads" and my life has been changed ever since. Just love these guys. They have expanded my horizons.

[@xandercrews4729]

@@MikeFurl I think you mean John Denver. I believe Bob Denver was the actor who played Gilligan on Gilligan’s island

[@mikebillets9671]

Great cover, an American treasure these kids. God bless

[@morganeriksson5842]

I dont know why im so moved by the Petersens. I think its because they have beatiful hearts.

[@faustovignale5861]

Many boys and men have tried to imitate the Eagles, but none have ever succeeded. The possibility was only one: the voices of Katy Ellen and Julianne!!! God bless the Petersens !!!

[@Constantijn09]

I have goosebumps listening to this version of an absolute American Classic The vocals (both the lead and the harmonies) were absolutely off the charts

[@saltysugar4259]

What makes a great singer? What is great music? It's not just a beautiful voice, it's not just technique, it's not just an elaborate arrangement. Petersens makes us find them. It's a heaven

[@readandseek]

Coincidentally, I searched for the original Desperado about 3 hours after this video was posted and stumbled upon The Petersens as a result. 7 days later and I might have watched all their videos. Now I’m back where I started. 😂 Great stuff.

[@JackD-vk2cf]

perfection - beauty - harmony - synchronicity - love - family - absolution - joy - talent - tears of joy...

[@michaelgibson3011]

This is my favorite song. I will be listening to you sing it a lot more before I leave this earth. Its up there with my favorite band.

[@AnthonySettergren]

Could this possibly be Katie's greatest performance to date? Country Roads, Carolina in My Mind, California.... all amazing. Sung with so much emotion and soul. This just might be my favorite. Even @4:27 is amazing!!!

[@big_fat_hen]

The original is so powerful. This version starts out rather quietly and then continues heaping on all the power of the original and then some. Very well played.

[@petrpolach9234]

She grows as an artist into someone very special, doesn't she?

[@ottoklarn2014]

Wow! Just wow. Everybody shut up and listen to an outstanding version of a classic Eagles tune.

[@ronleccese8678]

This song was written for Katie. Outstanding in every way. Listening for the 3rd time straight

[@superhunk1989]

Listening to Katie's beautiful singing feels like a warm hug.

[@Don8789]

The outro is so majestic!🧚‍♀️👏👏👏

[@johnthomson5730]

Hey, late to reply. I had a major broken relationship lasting from my late 20's until my late 30's. I pretty much gave up on love after it ended, which is why this song so describes me. I was so fortunate to meet my future wife years later after that experience thinking that I was too broken to love again but who convinced me not to give up. Her love blessed me with a family with 3 wonderful daughters. I am nearly 70 now and thank the Lord every day for my wife who talked me down from those fences!

[@Aritro77]

Reluctantly clicked this as I don't like hearing this song much after years of overplay. I don't think it's ever been done better. Thank you to The Petersons and the sublimely talented Katie for knocking this out of the park.

[@bamaguygm]

The Petersen's "Katie " just made this their own. I'm such an Eagles fan but this was absolutely beautiful

[@lesb_socal]

As one who couldn't attend the palooza, I really appreciate this. Such special people.

[@johnwickham6843]

Mate.its even better live for shucks a pettie lady she has one powerful voice worth making the trip from London if only to hear this one song

[@marysesoubies9001]

If the eyes are the mirror of the soul, here the voice is the echo : soft, warm and deep..."Grandiose" !

[@markeydavid7532]

I was a teenager when the Eagles released this classic. Katie has captured the emotion of this song with her vocals and the family has added a purity of sound that only the Petersen’s produce. Emmett’s break is fantastic. The harmonies toward the end stirs and accentuates the climax of the songs narrative. Well done.

[@snippletrap]

Her best lead vocal performance so far IMHO. Good job

[@rdh6932]

Whenever I see a new video by the Petersens I never know who will be singing but I am never disappointed because there is so much talent in this band.

[@martinmadden]

Just wow!! The arrangment; the singing; the emotion. A++++

[@colinkelley6493]

I started a catering business while in college and was hired to cook for the Eagles at the concert where they / Don Henley sang this song for the first time (Yes, it was a long time ago.). It was a once in a lifetime experience. You guys nailed it! Gave me goosebumps. Wow. Way to go! Not just the vocals but also your musicality -- your mastery of the instruments and the harmony was amazing. But you guys get the emotion! Your singing was pretty much as close to perfection as I ever want to get. That is the way it is with the Eagles. On the one hand it is just another song, right? On the other hand their music grabs your emotions by the throat, you move to the edge of your seat, it leads you into musical paradise, and it touches something very deep inside you did not even know was there -- there is a total experience --- lyrics, melody, rhythm, emotion, spirit, truth ..... life. Then as each song ends, it politely helps you get up off the floor, catch your breath, dust yourself off, and get ready for the next song. It is just a song, right?

[@abeheide8306]

Emmet sure knows how to make that dobro shed tears, incredible!

[@67icebowl]

Where do I begin? An absolutely exquisite version of a great song. The level of talent in this family is astounding. The outro was very funny. Finally, Katie, your always sweet, soulful voice, continues to gain depth and sophistication each time I hear it. Thank you all for a wonderful performance.

[@123Nezmar]

Great song again. Desperado, Eagles performed by The Petersen with Katie's voice, which goes so deep into the soul and spreads warmth, peace.... A big THANK YOU....

[@reddymon]

The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt……and now The Petersons are added to the small group who own this classic song. Very well done indeed.

[@barybrada1524]

You are Dillusional

[@faustovignale5861]

Glenn Frey will smile from heaven and bless the Petersens and their wonderful voices. Only a select few can sing the masterpieces of the timeless Eagles. Thanks guys and girls. Exceptional interpretation !!!! Fausto

[@Papadoc1000]

My goodness lady, every chance you took there in the arrangement and vocals paid off in spades!!! Katie, you didn't just cover it, you mastered it.

[@kurtthorington373]

Wow! Katie, let that beautiful voice out, standing ovation

[@bobsternvogel5550]

Great supporting performances here, but Katie was clearly the star of this video, both for her stunning lead vocal and her comic turn at the end!

[@yrjomatilainen8412]

One of my favorite songs ever! I Bought "Desperado" when I moved to a big city 1976 to live alone... This Petersen´s version is great, I got tears in to my eyes. Your family represents the America as its best. You girls are so cute, lovely and skilled! Boys skilled too. You got good mother, I suppose she never said "don't´practice music now, coz it disturbs me".

[@willemjordaan4108]

Wow, what a Friday night!! In South-Africa. Greetings to the Petersens....🤗😍😲

[@kennethkarlstrom5289]

Katie. Sings and plays with such depth - a true artist. Wonderful!

[@timothyj.bowlby5524]

Katie's voice has really grown and developed well. Nice version of an Eagles classic! Ellen is as sensitive in her work as ever. Beautiful! Thanks.

[@raymondmichaelocampo7262]

My father was swiss, my mother was german. My father died when I was 18. I live in Vaud county. French talking county. Main city: Lausanne

[@estebanbustamante5138]

Katie is silky smooth as always. I'm just about done with building my house at the ranch listening to your cool tunes and watching the dogs run and the deer play. I think I'll have a sip of whisky and chill while I listen to more cool music Thumbs up, you knocked it out of the park once again.

[@LukeWhite_PE]

I love the contrast between the soulful solo melodies to the powerhouse family harmonies you're able to show off in this song. Great rendition!

[@eugeneclark8974]

When Katie sings and plays, she is a queen of hearts. What a singing line up and playing music Band.

[@stefanfischer70]

Beautifully sung. It gets under everyone's skin. Beautiful harmonic interplay. Is a favorite song of mine that I have also once wished from you in the song request. Love it. My favorite part is: Come down from your fences Open the gate It may be rainin' But there's a rainbow above you

[@joshgregoryrealestate8505]

Our 2-year-old loves watching your music after bath time. And she always says, "I wanna see the rest of it," meaning, the behind-the-scenes stuff at the end. But she thought Katie spinning and singing was the most hilarious thing ever!!

[@adamp.7685]

It’s amazing how much more magic this incredible song emits when it is sung by the truly pure of heart. I have never heard a better version. Truly touching. I’m moved.

Second watch of this classic and it just gets better. It got better still when I Katie "rolled" in on "skates?" at the end..... Wonderful!

The way you can see how much they love to sing and play adds something that really makes them special. The girl playing fiddle looks like she is having so much fun she might explode!

[@mathew7772]

Wasze aranżacje wychodzą Wam bardzo naturalnie i pięknie.

[@papawoody9597]

Love the arrangement and the cover, but the part that put the biggest smile on my face was watching Katie being a goofball at the end. At first I was like "Uhhh, where's Katie?" Then she comes floating into the frame. Absolute gold.

[@vendigrothianv2997]

It takes a lot of heart and soul to sing like this, while only a little of both is enough to fully appreciate such song... Thank you for making one lonely despardo feel this way !

[@bluediamondbill]

Wow, a high bar was set for this song. I am old enough to remember when Linda Ronstadt and The Eagles both released amazing versions of Desperado, one of my top five recordings of all time! Well, here you have gone and put the signature Petersens’ sound to it and knocked it out of the park! Not an easy task for sure. Thanks for the memories. ☄️

[@donrivers3245]

Katie puts her heart and soul into the performances and the rest of the band backs up with just as much enthusiasm I really like the challenges they choose!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@FrankvdMuijsenberg]

Amazing! I really love this one, Katie. I think it's quite brave of you to take such a well-known classic on (although you're not without experience of course😉). You sang and performed it beautifully. I also enjoyed Matt's delicate picking at the beginning very much. Oh, and good job keeping a straight face after 4:50 as well (Emmett less so 😂). Another Petersens gem.🥰 #BringBackBearTracks

The level of this family is unthinkable. Charming and not manufactured. This song has everything that pop music lacks nowadays: a great melody, vocal harmonies and nice lyricks. 60,s &70,s was a great time to be young and this wonderful music was a massive part of it. Amazing to see a younger generation can appriciate the good old stuff !

Us so-called retirees LOVE your music. I miraculously awoke from a two-month-long coma five years ago. My surgeon told my wife to plan my funeral and she did. She heard God's literal voice the next day say " I am preserving Daniel" ( that's me.) One of the ways I get peace, and healing, is listening to your music. Thank God for you.
