@M Mac they're young.. they have good ears and they can harmonize pretty damn well.. I was born in a musical family my mom and grandfather and aunts sing and play more than one instrument and I tried to sing ever since I was 10 I'm 22 now.. lol no results unfortunately.. I just don't have the range nor is my ear strong enough to listen through multiple layers of notes which is why I made my first comment. Yes you do of course have to hone your skills and refine it which is clearly seen in the video especially on the high notes but they still have the good foundation to support it
Josh just slides in to any one, or any group, of musical geniuses and makes the recipe divine....... and always has a blast doing it. It's total musical joy. We are so lucky to witness it.
That's probably my favorite thing about these videos - they make it seem like there's this secret society of great young musicians HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT. And they're all buddies.
Josh Turner obviously brings something special to the table as an arranger & director. Everyone who appears in his videos seems to be doing their very best work then.
There are so many wonderful little details in this video. When the pianist and bassist look at each other like "we're killing this", when the drummer hits that super satisfying high note in the harmony, when the singer with the glasses looks with admiration at the pianist killing that solo. And everyone is just having so much fun. I keep coming back to it. Great great great work!
I have lost count the number of times I have watched this video. It gives such joy to watch each and every one of you enjoying yourselves so much during this recording. I love it, love it, love it and makes me..... just feel good. thank you all.

Alex Cavanna Music, You are too literal. They don't have to be only on the bus while they are out riding from place to place on the bus. But, yeah, when I clicked on this video I was also expecting to see them actually inside the bus while playing. ( ua-cam.com/video/FuWPseegaKw/v-deo.html )
mxplk, "The description does say ..." Yet again teaching me that it is best to read the description before commenting -- and proving the accuracy of Alex Cavanna Music's comment. Definitely not the bus I imagined (see link in my prior comment).
The lead singer here, Taylor Bloom, just put out an awesome album called "My Father Before Me." If you like this, you will love him on his new album! And the band here is also featured! You can listen to it on any music service.
When I was that age and got together with my friends, we got stoned and stared at the ceiling. These guys get together and create something fun and special. Well done, guys.
That was tight. Great vocals. As always, Josh amazes on guitar and it's inspiring to see how much fun he has performing. I loved his opening opening riff and Adam's keyboard solo.
Paul Simon - Joni Mitchell - Lennon - McCartney. They define the best of popular music. All will stand the test if time. I’m impressed they sang the fifth harmonies on the intro. Thank you for playing America …
One of my absolute favorite S & G songs. And you've managed to make it better than the original. You are seriously awesome musicians. Thank you for sharing your music with us, this song just made my day!
@@tsfurlan It's called giving a compliment. But if you want to go into the nitty-gritty, there's no sax solo but a nice piano solo. There is a great harmony with 4 different voices ( which is hard to do just live with that setup) and not through overdubbing Paul Simon 4 times singing in a different key. But most of all it was just a compliment. And in my opinion a better rendition than the original.
Boatloads of talent there, but it's the energy that makes it astounding. It's a joyous song played joyously. I'm reminded of Emmylou Harris's comment about playing music in the living room - "We've lost the living room"
Yes indeed!! Takes me back to being 6 years old, riding with my dad in his VW Bug, and listening to this song on his 8-track cassette player. Well done guys!
The world of music is safe! When young folks (I am 73) can do justice to such great music that was made before they were even a gleam in mommy and daddy's eyes, then life is good. Thank you
The bassist is the character of Hermes Conrad of Futurama. What a good feeling the whole group and the particular bassist convey to me. Congratulations Please more songs
I know Mr.Simon usually doesn't appreciate covers of his songs. I hope he makes an exception for this. You guys are legit. That is a hard song to get right.
Who would? "If you’re so talented, stop copying other artist's talents and gifts and start writing and producing your own." I fully agree with Mr. Simon's reasons. I know personally that I don’t appreciate anyone plagiarising or copying my work or talents. It is not a compliment.
@@entertained9065 Wow are you ever confused, this is not plagiarism or copying, they're not claiming any credit for the creation of the work, they're rejoicing in it!! This is memorializing, this is the greatest compliment any artist could receive! It means the original work was so good that people love it enough to want to sing it themselves and keep it alive for generations to come!!
@@entertained9065 That wasn't him not appreciating covers. What he meant was he's tired of people covering by doing exactly the same thing he did, like what's the point? No creativity there. He liked Disturbed's cover of The Sound of Silence because they did something different.
This is brilliant. It's also one of these videos where you spot something else on each viewing. I love the "brrrrrr" noise the guitarist makes after the line "I wonder how your engines feel" 😂
Woke up this morning wanted to listen to this younger generation of Baby Drivers & musicians carrying on the tradition of music born in America - Looking forward to what kind of originals you will come up with - - thanks kids (I'm 84 yr. old ex-outlaw, so all of you are 'kids' in my 'book')
One of my Favorite Simon and Garfunkel Songs, So GREAT to hear the Younger Generation Appreciation for Classic Rock 💜💜. You Guys are. A W E S O M E 💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️
This is absolutely the greatest musical experience I have had in a million years. Playing has never looked so fun. THIS.... the world needs more of this! I can't stop watching it.
Like many others I've listened to this several times and it's a fantastic rendition of a timeless tune. How 145 people gave this a thumbs down is beyond me, and yes before someone responds, I do understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion. In my opinion these guys are very very talented. Keep it up guys.

Four years later and this stiff f'ing rocks like hell. I love it, and wish Josh played more rock rhythm guitar like this. R&R is not Josh's natural habitat I've come to realize, yet he does it so well, like the very old Stones video and a Petty tune.
I've only just discovered this song. The first time I watched the video I was engrossed. I've watched it several times since and I'm still engrossed every time!
I’ve already commented on this great video, but I wanted to give Josh Turner Guitar a huge congratulations for hitting more than 100,000,000 views! Yes, that’s 100 million folks!
something a little deep , I wil say that when I was about 16 when this came out,, and no one I knew loved Simon and Garfunkel,, I was alone deep in my head as I sang this incredibly hot song both weird cool lyrics and a killer feel, boogie woogie,,,,wow so you guys have AFTER 45 YRS provided me with felling validated that this was / is a great song and deserves to be loved,, thank you I needed that
You can't beat live music. One of the best bands I ever heard were a group of students throwing it all together in the attick of a pub, they brought the house down. (Great job guys.)
Your rendition of this is perfection. I keep coming back because it feeds me and makes me feel alive and makes me believe that I can motivate again. I keep coming back because this performance is so powerful on many levels. There's an honesty and joy about this performance of Baby Driver that makes this performance important for this song.
I was a kid in the 70s and I remember my mom playing the Bridge Over Troubled Water 8-track all the time in the car. I was 7 years old and knew ever note on that 8-track. Y'all nailed it, well done.
This is music at its best and these young folks really at the future of music... not the glitzy productions with record company creations. Love it! Josh is the man.
I return to this video every few months, vibes absolutely off the charts
Fancy seeing you here lol
Glad to see we have similar taste in video games and music :P
So do I !
This has more spark than the original
Same here.
that bass player is just luvin life
Stank
And he laid that baseline down like a champ!
He plays unbelievably well! In the other songs they did too!
Joe Osborne would've been very proud...
It does that
Makes me tear up. I just tuned 71 with Debilitating stroke, but these songs lift me up out of this world.
Wish you health and a speedy recovery ❤
There is nothing like music to lift the spirits. It’s great that you can find something uplifting.
I have migraine, insomnia, and a big ol’ grin from this song.
Thank goodness we still have some youth that can play and appreciate the “old” stuff..😂😂, I for one absolutely love it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Three years later....still the best cover I have ever heard!
The guy on keys is absolutely playing the shit out of his part. That stuff's hard to get to that level. Applause!
Everyone here is fucking NAILING it to the wall!! How the hell do so many pieces get this tight on one track?!
gabelogan56 the mix is so solid as well! To get 3 vocals and a guitar from 1 mic requires a lot of skill. And the rest blends so well!
They're naturals..

Agree. Gives me faith in humanity

Especially the drummer high note. Check the Sloop John B vid for stealth drummer singing also
bass player looks like Bert & Ernie............well, Bert anyway
Don't forget Pikachu just vibin on the bassists lap
I have lost count the number of times I have watched this video. It gives such joy to watch each and every one of you enjoying yourselves so much during this recording. I love it, love it, love it and makes me..... just feel good. thank you all.
Couldn’t agree more Linda. What an amazing cover and the guys are having so so much fun. Nailed it!!!!
Ganz genau 🤣
Perfectly said.
Same!
SAME!!! Gauranteed mood lift! God damn do these lads nail it.
anyone else come back to this? i love the energy and sound so much
Lots
@@dennyshonda it's fantastic
@@carsonbarnes1834 guilty!
I’ve probably hit it 50 times.....🥴....so far.
Everyday.
this is quite literally one of the greatest covers i have ever heard. the energy is unmatched.
I love it that the younger generations are playing songs from my generation.
The fact a group of young people know this music and appreciate it and can play it so amazingly well gives me hope for humanity
I watch this periodically just to see the expressions on the bass player's face. Talented bunch.
Pure joy isn’t it. Something so rarely seen these days.
I come back to this cover often just purely for the smile it gives me.
I'm 66 years old and remember when this music was new. Boy did you guys put a smile on my face today. Thank-you. Brilliant stuff.
An antidote to studio-processed recordings. These guys make music! Just brilliant - bravo.
Richard Kilroy I love this video so I’m not trashing it. But for what it’s worth, this was edited to a degree. Notice the guitar isn’t synced up to the video ;)
@@DannyStopMotions where do you notice that is there a time ? i disagree
@@imannonymous7707 Ah, I'm probably wrong. Internet issues yesterday so I guess all of the audio was out of sync. And 2:09 sounded like guitar but it's just their lips.
@@danperlman230 It's probably because the audio was recorded through a DAW and then mated to the video. It's not synced with a worldclock or anything like that just by eye/ear at the beginning of the clip.
i love how some of these covers seem so impromptu and off the cuff, yet basically flawless
The bass player is having the best time of his life.
He and his Pikachu
He gets to play more than 4 notes
After the first 10to 20 times I listened to this.... I took note of the baseman’s ...joie de vivre...and now that’s all I can see. 🥰
and he is a very good bass player. They are all very good musicians
Great bass line from a great bass player!
EVERYTIME I watch this....I have a smile beyond each ear to ear....awesome performance!!!
Jesus that's one luxurious bus
Alex Cavanna Music,
You are too literal. They don't have to be only on the bus while they are out riding from place to place on the bus. But, yeah, when I clicked on this video I was also expecting to see them actually inside the bus while playing.
( ua-cam.com/video/FuWPseegaKw/v-deo.html )
@@ArcoZakus The description does say--indeed twice--that the song was recorded in the back of a bus.
mxplk,
"The description does say ..."
Yet again teaching me that it is best to read the description before commenting -- and proving the accuracy of Alex Cavanna Music's comment. Definitely not the bus I imagined (see link in my prior comment).
It's been about six months now and I watch this FAR TOO MUCH. Incredible.
I have seen this clip at least 40 times now, can't get enough of it :)
The lead singer here, Taylor Bloom, just put out an awesome album called "My Father Before Me." If you like this, you will love him on his new album! And the band here is also featured! You can listen to it on any music service.
ME TOO !
Why aren’t these guys more famous? I listen to them all the time.
Every second of this is pure gold and the fact that these guys seem to have the time of their lifes doing it makes it even more perfect
When I was that age and got together with my friends, we got stoned and stared at the ceiling. These guys get together and create something fun and special. Well done, guys.

Has to hold guitar awkwardly... still kills it.
While I suppose nothing is better than the original - this was definitely more enjoyable than the original.
bass man is living his best day ever ^^
Paul Simon - Joni Mitchell - Lennon - McCartney. They define the best of popular music. All will stand the test if time. I’m impressed they sang the fifth harmonies on the intro. Thank you for playing America …
These guys are professionals. I cant stop watching this video. I am also a huge Paul Simon fan which makes it more awesome. Keep making em!
The vocals on this are to die for!
One of my absolute favorite S & G songs. And you've managed to make it better than the original. You are seriously awesome musicians. Thank you for sharing your music with us, this song just made my day!

If i was blindfolded and someone showed me this, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference from the original. So Crisp guys
If I was either Simon or Garfunkel....I'd be jealous!
A rare gathering of very talented kids!
Bloody fantastic!
This is my most-played clip on UA-cam. Your man on the bass makes me smile every time.
OMG one of my favourite S & G songs. This is the perfect rendition!!
This is the best cover I have ever heard, of anything
Yes indeed!! Takes me back to being 6 years old, riding with my dad in his VW Bug, and listening to this song on his 8-track cassette player. Well done guys!
You guys are like four Simons surrounding a Garfunkel
Five.
Excelente
I always feel like Josh and Carson are like Simon and Garfunkel
Awesome, this song reminds me of my father, he used to love this song!
@@blinx738 Without the imbalance in talent between the two members. ;)
I go back to this cover quite a lot. I’m going to go out and say it’s the best cover ever done
I love the bass tempo. Spot on.
I can't say this enough: If everybody was Marc Encabo the world would be a better place.
The unison between the two singers on the first verse is pretty astonishing. It sounds like one voice doubled electronically.
The world of music is safe! When young folks (I am 73) can do justice to such great music that was made before they were even a gleam in mommy and daddy's eyes, then life is good. Thank you
I, too drop back in on this one every few months. To enjoy the fun, but also to commune with the bass player.
Absolutely the BEST version of this song.
One of the best covers ever, I really hope that Paul Simon gets to see this👏👏👏👏
I don’t know if many people understand this, but those bends are very hard to get right, but josh nailed it, including the timing.
The dad in the corner playing drums is the real legend 🤘🏼
The dad in the corner is my son Bob Sale, who has done several tours with the boys in The Simon and Garfunkel Story. He is the best drummer ever!
I believe he passed away recently. RIP.
Lovely to see a genuinely awesome live performance that hasn't been dubbed over or tampered with. Incredible.
The bassist is the character of Hermes Conrad of Futurama. What a good feeling the whole group and the particular bassist convey to me. Congratulations Please more songs
Hahaha 😅 Man I'm pissing myself! Quality cover 👏 👌
Ah there are so many overlooked gems like this in Paul Simon's back catalog; love it.
When you're as happy as Josh when he's playing, you know you are doing something is right.
There's so much happiness in this video!
I know Mr.Simon usually doesn't appreciate covers of his songs.
I hope he makes an exception for this.
You guys are legit.
That is a hard song to get right.
If Paul Simon does not appreciate Josh's cover of Graceland...well I don't know "what" to say !

You're not a million years old, not possible
Nice try though almost had me
This the hook-iest song that ever hooked. So good.
To be sure. They also play the daylights out of it.
This is my absolute favourite of all your recordings Josh. I've probably watched it 30 times and it's gold. every. single. time.
One only needs to pick up any of these instruments and play like this to know how talented these kids are.
If you can bottle this, you can cure depression. Loved it, its pure joy.
