When I feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up; when my insides tremble so that my eyes tear up, I know I’m listening to an exceptional talent. What a fine voice and soul you have, Carson .
I have to say that Carson’s performance of this song is the best I’ve ever heard. The vocal is just perfect. The guitar work, fits like a glove. Again, fantastic on all aspects of this. I can’t stop listening. 👍
Absolutely agree. In fact I did a complete Google Search and watched every artist the search came up with - there were dozens - and of course Blaze Foley himself. No contest - absolutely no contest - even with the original artist Blaze Foley. That is amazing. Unique. I have been trying to get something out of my attempts to play guitar for decades - I get a certain amount of satisfaction but I simply lack the talent necessary. Carson McKee makes it seem so easy and natural. I keep looking for the devil offering a contract at every crossroad. He never shows. Yeah..whatever.
Imagine that there are a thousand people randomly scattered about the planet, who in December of 2019, anxiously look forward to seeing a new performance of Carson McKee on UA-cam, and then imagine in December of 2039, that the number will be in the millions. I would bet that Willie Nelson was this talented at that age.
@@ChitFromChinola you may be right but the big difference with Willie is as with most of them ol country guys he wrote some of the greatest songs ever put down on paper as did Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash none of them had what you'd call smooth voices easy on the ear but boy could they write and also they sang like they meant it straight from the heart. In Nashville there's a thousand amazing voices and guitar pickers but it's having the songs too that really make you stand out. Not for one second taking anything away from Carson the guy is amazing just saying I've been to Nashville enough times to know you need it all to make it there but from what I've seen Carson and his friends are doing pretty good on there own terms without Nashville it's all glam pop crap there these days anyway.
Carson, this was hauntingly sung. You have mastered emotional transference to the highest form of artistry. Your performance of this song is absolutely devastating.
This song made me cry one time, the original, listening to it and contemplating it's meaning. This is a flawless and beautiful performance of this song. I can't get enough of Carson and his guitar.
I don’t know if its only me but always when im playing new video from you, or Josh I Don’t know song but I’m never dissapointed. Thank you for introducing me to new genres and tunes Love
This is the best performance of this song that I have ever heard. Carson managed to out do both Blaze Foley and the legend, Merle Haggard. Simple as that. I have heard renditions of it by many talented singers, but Carson's effort is above and beyond. If I could only..sing it like he does.
Your show with Josh in Boston recently was amazing, and now I'm having fun digging into your solo vids. So great to see a young guy playing Blaze Foley stuff. Faith in humanity restored.
Oh wow what a beautiful cover of this most beautiful song. God Bless you Carson . Please continue to make beautiful music that lifts the Spirit. Thank you. Can’t stop playing this song.
I absolutely love this guy, I knew him with the “Don’t Let Me Down” by the Beatles cover, and since then, I’ve seen many videos He deserves many more views, he’s amazing
As Jeff & I sat here listening to this for the first time, he said, “what a beautiful voice he has” & I must agree...especially on a song like this that is absolutely perfect for it. The richness is so pure and natural. You have such a wonderful gift. Thank you for sharing it with all of us. Merry Christmas!
You are surely one of the better singers in this world. This video shows and lets hear, truly and simple, without a high-tech studio, headphones and makeup, a beautiful performance of a beautiful song . Tank you for sharing.
Condolences to a person I have never met. Music has healing powers when done sincerely and brilliantly. It can take away some of the pain. Mr. McKee, your voice is a marvel as is your taste in music. Please do a song with Molly Tuttle.
One of my favorite songs ever, Blaze Foley was going to be one of the greatest songwriters, Merle did the song justice like few could. You are one of the few Carson. Much love brother.
Carson you have a wonderfully compelling voice that has a bit of Willie Nelson in there - your voice invites you to listen. I love it. Merry seasonal stuff to you and yours from Australia.
This is the second song I love to hear you sing .... the first being Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain ..... I could listen to you beautiful voice 24/7 ..... I wish I could meet you someday and you would just sing for me .... I just can’t explain how unique and soothing your voice is .... please continue singing and posting your songs 💕💕
I enjoyed this a year ago, but now... after listening to Blaze's version many times through the distance and tumult of 2020... and watching the Netflix film on Blaze's life... I have a new found appreciation for what you've done here. You resurrected a classic. We are indebted to you.
he is just so good. have you seen the high school song with josh? i think it was something like the comedy of the good ship essex? wish i would have gone to school with this generation.
You and just your guitar could win american idol the voice or any other competition like them you're just naturally great. You can get people's attention with your first note
Sometimes you cover a tune, sometimes you get inside it. Carson got inside this one and sings it from the inside out.
Well put...very poetic... and appropriate😎
@@Bluesphan Well said
Boy are you right
This guy is one of the best musicians I've ever heard.
verdad
And one of the most velvet sounding voices out there...
When I feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up; when my insides tremble so that my eyes tear up, I know I’m listening to an exceptional talent. What a fine voice and soul you have, Carson .
same here
Get a room & jump in line , hahaahahaa !
I just keep coming back to this one. If I could like it a thousand times I would. So good, Carson.
I have to say that Carson’s performance of this song is the best I’ve ever heard. The vocal is just perfect. The guitar work, fits like a glove. Again, fantastic on all aspects of this. I can’t stop listening. 👍
First heard this song from Merle Haggard. This is better and I love the Hag.
Absolutely agree.
In fact I did a complete Google Search and watched every artist the search came up with - there were dozens - and of course Blaze Foley himself.
No contest - absolutely no contest - even with the original artist Blaze Foley.
That is amazing.
Unique.
I have been trying to get something out of my attempts to play guitar for decades - I get a certain amount of satisfaction but I simply lack the talent necessary.
Carson McKee makes it seem so easy and natural.
I keep looking for the devil offering a contract at every crossroad.
He never shows.
Yeah..whatever.
I had never heard the song before, in fact never heard of Blaze Foley. The only thing I can say is, this is absolutely beautiful.
Same...but somehow it sounds like something I've heard forever...
@@Bluesphan now that's a beautiful response.....Ben Haggard also does a fantastic job at this. Such a beautiful tune
@@featheredcoyote5477 I like Mo Pitney singing it too.
@@momusicfan me too
Never heard it, my God this is good
Imagine that there are a thousand people randomly scattered about the planet, who in December of 2019, anxiously look forward to seeing a new performance of Carson McKee on UA-cam, and then imagine in December of 2039, that the number will be in the millions. I would bet that Willie Nelson was this talented at that age.
Wow! I bet you are right! Smooth and rich voice.
Carson sings a lot better than Willie. :-). But, Willie is Willie . . .
@@ChitFromChinola you may be right but the big difference with Willie is as with most of them ol country guys he wrote some of the greatest songs ever put down on paper as did Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash none of them had what you'd call smooth voices easy on the ear but boy could they write and also they sang like they meant it straight from the heart.

Ah, the talent to be enjoyed; found by accident, now a fan for life.
Seriously! I can’t stop listening to this. Such a superb version. You’re voice is silky smooth and rich. Keep them coming and thank you.
Carson, this was hauntingly sung. You have mastered emotional transference to the highest form of artistry. Your performance of this song is absolutely devastating.
This song made me cry one time, the original, listening to it and contemplating it's meaning. This is a flawless and beautiful performance of this song. I can't get enough of Carson and his guitar.
Carson, your like a fine wine. Just keep getting better with time.
Eine Stimme, die mich immer wieder zum Träumen bringt.
I don’t know if its only me but always when im playing new video from you, or Josh I Don’t know song but I’m never dissapointed.
Thank you for introducing me to new genres and tunes
Love
Very nice song and a beautiful voice. Thank you very much and have a nice Christmas. Greetings from Germany
Wow just ...Wow!
This is the best performance of this song that I have ever heard. Carson managed to out do both Blaze Foley and the legend, Merle Haggard. Simple as that. I have heard renditions of it by many talented singers, but Carson's effort is above and beyond. If I could only..sing it like he does.
You're right. Marvelous !
Loved this song since I first heard Merle sing it. Carson sings it even better. My favorite version
Foley's is still best by far. Pure raw emotion ua-cam.com/video/ZxP7krvgBE8/v-deo.html
Or even this ua-cam.com/video/69YCXgVdyR4/v-deo.html
Your show with Josh in Boston recently was amazing, and now I'm having fun digging into your solo vids. So great to see a young guy playing Blaze Foley stuff. Faith in humanity restored.
Thank you Carson for taking the time to play and record this beautiful song.
A voice of velvet. Awesome.
Your singing just make me feel comfotable....thanks.
Oh wow what a beautiful cover of this most beautiful song.
God Bless you Carson .
Please continue to make beautiful music that lifts the Spirit.
Thank you. Can’t stop playing this song.
GOD has blessed you Carson. one day you will fly to HIM. much love.
I absolutely love this guy, I knew him with the “Don’t Let Me Down” by the Beatles cover, and since then, I’ve seen many videos
He deserves many more views, he’s amazing

A very nice cover of one of the greatest love songs ever written. Blaze wrote such honest lyrics and this rendition does it justice.
