The ultimate respect or homage to another artist is to not try to duplicate or replicate a song or make it your version of the song . But to actually feel that song inside of your heart and your soul and communicate that through your instruments . What you are seeing here people is musicians truly absorbed into emulating the essence and beauty of this great song . " Amazing"

[@doctorjekyll6125]

Who asked you? No one 😂

[@frankcanha]

Absolutely, they are immersed in their instruments. Well said.

[@stephaniegoode4396]

I’m not a big Tim McGraw fan, but this has to be one of the best versions I’ve heard of this song. From an avid Cars fan, thank you, Tim. Beautiful.

[@AlexBHolz]

Was gonna say the same - he and the band absolutely slaaaaay this rendition. Gives me goosebumps. Well done Tim and Co.

[@ajh21313]

Ric and Ben, we love you and miss you always. Tim and the boys, fantastic version but most of all "Thank You" for musically being right on point. We all loved it!

[@darrellnewman9345]

“Love this song from back in my day. Brother….you nailed it. Sooooo good!”

[@buds3262]

Love the way the musicians all bob their heads and lean into the song. They look like they’re having fun - pros just enjoying themselves and the song and the time.

@@timmcgraw6508 since I met my wife in 1996. She was a little country and I was a Lotta heavy metal (Donnie and Marie reference). I was properly introduced to you, Garth, Tina, Alan Jackson etc. I of course returned the favor and properly introduced her to Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Pink Floyd and my favorite pop band, The Cars. Thank you for sharing your tribute.Peace, Love and prayers brother

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

great version really really cool. I think the late great Benjamin Orr is smiling down😊 nobody mentions the other original singer of the cars who sang this lost his battle with cancer on October 3rd of 2000 almost twenty years to the day Tim does this great cover😢🙏 I also like the beginning with the lapslide guitar it almost had a little George Harrison sort of vibe to it personally to me those first opening licks.. awesome job guys very very cool cover I really liked it. course I have like the boys from Boston ever since they roared out with that new wave cool first debut. Still Rock the debut CandyO Heartbeat City quite fairly regularly. of course who doesn't think of Phoebe Cates every time the cars living in stereo comes on🤔🙋👙 fast times at ridgemont high🎬🎥📀

[@jeffjackson9679]

Right. I think Ben sang lead on about half the hits for the band. For some reason, I always had a hard time telling Ric and Ben's vocals apart.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

@@jeffjackson9679 yeah there's definitely a couple of them where it is really hard to tell who was lead.. just what I needed is a perfect example.. and the title track to candy o one of the funkiest coolest Tunes ever to me.. thanks for the cool reply

This man can’t sing a bad song. Such a talent. Tim’s voice is one of those when you turn on the radio you don’t have to wait till the end of the song to hear who it was You definitely know right away when you hear his voice. Amazing! Thank you for all the years and more to come with such great music.

[@filiperocha4466]

[@markmailloux4472]

hey Tim. I was just saying to my brother that I think a different version of this song would be so cool. And especially if it were a country singer did it. But the thing I was longing for was a version without the decidedly 80's sounding keyboard. Such an amazing song and thanks for sharing your version.
