I love how everyone is pinching themselves that they can't believe they're playing with the great Leland Sklar. And btw, he seems pretty happy with the quality of the musicians around him, too. Kudos all around for this fantastic cover.
@@corentillywesterman Thank you for sharing that! I appreciate it. Yes, you can read it in his face and body language. Trance groove. You're doing something very right when Leland Sklar digs it.
Good to see that a 60+ year old bass with flats wasn’t needed to make this sound funky. Just an absolute legend , a forefather , a pillar of the instrument Leland sklar can make it happen
Sklar could do it on anything, but the Dingwall basses are killer tools in anyone's hands now as well. Love that we're all breaking out of the old expectations!
I've seen Rick Wakefield perform (Life on Mars, etc.) and he's so deeply past any technical barriers, that his playing was otherworldly while he was Buddha-like in detached bliss.
Hey everybody, Lee Sklar! Whoohoo!! Man, he doesn't just have pocket, he has a whole bag of pockets! Wonderful to hear him and Tamir locking it down - awesome guys!
@@alwaysabiggafish3305 That's a style choice... not a whole lot to do with her ability. If you listened to any of her solo stuff you'd know she has a wickedly agile voice
@@alwaysabiggafish3305 Your comment is an extremely average comment. No capitalization of the first word. No punctuation at all.

Holy Jesus. This is amazing. And Jack always looks like he’s having the best day of his life. That’s a life goal: Smile like Jack Conte. But seriously, this was a TIGHT track. Daaaaaaammnnnnn!
Stacey's rendition of American Boy was how I chanced upon her channel a year ago! Way to go Stacey! Glad to see you doing another Scary Pockets number!
Never seen this one. Sooo creamy, smooth... tasteful. Sooo good. Best part... seeing the musicians do their thing. This is the dimension to music you don't get from just audio. This is like reading the book instead of watching the movie. It's the real deal. Kudos.
performance, production and mixing aside, the arrangements on these covers are amazing! Not a single thing feels out of place or forced! Everyting just runs like a well-oiled machine
I believe this arrangement is to a large extent Stacey’s ideas (correct me if I’m wrong), but you can check out her acoustic version which came out b4 this and there’s a lot of ideas that are taken from there. Of course I definitely believe that scary pockets had a big input in the arrangement but it feels like the “backbone” or “dna” is Stacey’s
@@chenyanhao676 definitely! I've seen some of their behind the scenes videos on Jacks channel and everyone has a role to play in the arrangement! Been a fan of Stacey for a long time too!
Leland Sklar just tossing in little subtle bits of tasty genius. Got everyone else in the band grinning and going places they wouldn’t have without him.
OK, wanna know what a musical MASTERPIECE sounds like? THIS is it. Every musical aspect is so beautifully and musically TIGHT, I'd rather say "fused" as plasma, but real, felt and effortlessly layed down, from the luscious vocals to the arrangement featuring Louis Vuitton level chord voicings and the otherworldly dynamic build as each moment leads to the next. . . every musican here plays exactly like you play when you have the opportunity to create alongside a living legend, Leland Sklar, THAT certainly upped everyone's game right? WOW! Just love this.
Ryan's body is wanting to throw some moves down to this masterpiece but it remembers it also has to contribute those gorgeous guitar vibes. Brilliant performance all round and this makes it into my Pockets Playlist
Seen this a hundred times, probably more.... the drummer is a precision octopus of syncopated wonderfulnessness. As a home musician doing my thing, I wish I had someone like that to vibe from. Kudos. (Humble yoda bow...)
Excellent, really inspiring. Her voice has this clean, natural relatability yet it’s so spot on in terms of pitch and tone, clarity and pop. Want to be able to sing like her
Just found these videos a couple of weeks ago and have been listening through the catalogue since. The standard of musicians and singers is incredible and some of the guest appearances ? Holy shit! Leland Solar, Joe Bonamassa ......it's impossible to pick a favourite tune. Excellent work Scary Pockets.
Playing this on repeat for several days. I listen to one instrument every time and I love it when I get to listen not just to the vocals but how each musician contributed to this song. I love Stacey Ryan's voice!
There are millions of bass players who are exhibitionists and make it seem like the bass is a formula 1 car and they are the drivers, it's cool for those looking for that kind of exhibitionism, but if you want to hear a bass sound that gets into your heart and it touches your soul, just listen to something recorded by Leland Sklar, because in this sense there is no one like him in the world! He is the inspiration for all bass players who want to play with class and feeling.
Doesn't matter how many times I listen to this cover, it will always move my soul. And Leland on the bass. Best tone for this cover. I prefer this version over the original.
wow those vocals were so HUGE at the end, they almost didnt fit comin outta my speakers!!! def shook the walls on the way through! what a stellar voice, kid, you go get ems! ~peaces
THAT WAS ABSOLUTE FIRE!!!!!!!!!! Seeing Lee Sklar get it with you guys is INCREDIBLE!!!!! Stacey has come a long way over the years!! She absolutely killed that piece!!!!!
I swear I can’t stop listening to this one. So dang good. It feels simple and clean and everyone’s perfectly woven together. You’re all legendary in your own right and it is a joy to see Leland there. Well done peeps!
I've watched this at least 12 times now. The production is genius, tbh. I think it's one of the best things Scary Pockets has done. Also Leland Sklar. :o
A good cover, as expected from anything Scary Pockets is involved in, but when Stacy Ryan really started belting it out at the end, it was just fantastic! Such a big voice for a small lady. Very well done!
Simply amazing, I'm 68 years old, played guitar all my life and the love of music from one end of the spectrum To the other has always been the heartbeat of my life. You guys are killing it , I simply love turning up your music And finding a tiny little spot to sit and jam along. I always wondered why my legs and feet seem to have a crazy beat of their own when I played, I definitely can't sit still listening to you guys, happy feet speak volumes.
Holy shit guys... I'm addicted to this cover. Every now an then I come back here to listen and it's so enjoyable to see everyone's satisfaction while playing it. Excellent job ♥
Are you kidding. These already great musicians and they get Leland Sklar to make a guest appearance. Wow. I’m blown away at the playing , singing and producing on this. It does not get better. Thanks all of you, especially Jack, Ryan and Mr. Sklar. All 5 of you are killin it here.
always loved this song. way back, probably around 2009 or 2010 i was driving down the highway headed back home late at night after hanging out with some friends and this came on the radio. the highway was nearly empty and the tune fit the mood just perfectly. any time i want to be taken back to that moment i just put this song on. and i really enjoyed this cover, well done y'all.

Freaking Leland Sklar on the bass!! Bass royalty right there.
Ohhhhh ya 😎🏆
He is so tight 👍😊
I was watching his channel again yesterday.
Just his video for "Genesis - Invisible Touch" alone is worth hitting the Subscribe button for.
Legend.
For real, for real.
Thanks for having me back!!! Always a huge pleasure to play with you guys 😊 when’s the next one??🤩
Not soon enough!
ASAP PLZ
Space Jam DVD
Love your performance!
STACEY YOU BLEW IT OUT THE WATER AGAIN!
The lick Leland throws in at 1:49 and the reaction from Ryan was so natural!
I always come back to this video for that moment:
Ryan was like “Duuuude” and Leland quietly replies, “It’s what we do🤷♂️”
That moment made me smile :)
Totally
Beautiful voice
I love how everyone is pinching themselves that they can't believe they're playing with the great Leland Sklar. And btw, he seems pretty happy with the quality of the musicians around him, too. Kudos all around for this fantastic cover.

I thought Dingwalls are only for Metal. :)
Something has to be 60+ in order to make it funky. In this case it's Leland's beard so he can use what he wants.
The incongruity between what Leland plays and his relaxation while doing it is a beautiful thing.
I've seen Rick Wakefield perform (Life on Mars, etc.) and he's so deeply past any technical barriers, that his playing was otherworldly while he was Buddha-like in detached bliss.
Tamir’s pocket is solid as rock, but the groove flows as water. That’s amazing drumming, hell yeah.
Yes! Love Tamir - incredible touch and feel.
pretentious things to say about average music 101
talkinsh was a mountain but guitar is drippin
Tamir + Lee combo is insanely smooth
@@alwaysabiggafish3305 nobody see your videos kid, keep that attitude
WHAT?!?!?! This needs to be a single. Better than the original, IMHO. That last verse was absolute FIRE!
Lool Can't be better than the original but it was a nice funk cover .....
Agreed!!!
Hey everybody, Lee Sklar! Whoohoo!! Man, he doesn't just have pocket, he has a whole bag of pockets! Wonderful to hear him and Tamir locking it down - awesome guys!
He hasn’t got a pocket- he’s got the whole damn wardrobe ! Bass legend.
Now, can we have Lee Sklar with James Gadson? That would be more pockets than a jeans factory……..👍
He doesn't have it in the pocket, he has it in a bag of holding.
1:25 the best moment in this music is the silence on the beat, the smile toward Leland is epic 😁
There’s another one just as good on 1:48
Stacey Ryan is a star in the making! I saw her in Pittsburgh opening for Lawrence and she sounded great. Keep the hits coming!
shes extremely average 😆 the repetitive stacatto on 'take-me-on-a-trip' for every chorus sounds like a very bad habit of hers
@@alwaysabiggafish3305 I recommend checking out more of her stuff. Not her best performance here really, but she has some *great* stuff.

@@lincolnshiresausage its not that deep lil bro
Leland Sklar on bass!!! Am I dreaming? The man is a LEGEND👍 Thanks, Scary Pocket! U R awesome!
I love how Lee Sklar not just plays very well, he can also cross his legs in a split second. :D
I cannot stop watching this video. It's at least one play per day since I discovered this masterpiece. STACEY IS UNBELIEVABLE AT VOCALS!
Holy Jesus. This is amazing. And Jack always looks like he’s having the best day of his life. That’s a life goal: Smile like Jack Conte. But seriously, this was a TIGHT track. Daaaaaaammnnnnn!
2:19 omg that synth sound was beautiful
listening to this for 50th time and still love it!
i know right.. love it .. who else has this on replay
1:28 ...that coordination... phew, majestic.
I saw Stacey Ryan and I clicked. It’s that simple.
Stacey's rendition of American Boy was how I chanced upon her channel a year ago! Way to go Stacey! Glad to see you doing another Scary Pockets number!
Lee Sklar makes it feel so good!
WOW at how the song begins to hit the next level at 2:55 Incredible
Never seen this one. Sooo creamy, smooth... tasteful. Sooo good.
Best part... seeing the musicians do their thing. This is the dimension to music you don't get from just audio.
This is like reading the book instead of watching the movie. It's the real deal. Kudos.
Truly magical! Must be due to Gandalf on bass. 🧙♂
Lee Sklar elevates every song he touches.
Leland Sklar never has to learn a new tune since he was probably the one playing the bass on the original recording 😂
I think Sklar was born knowing all that would transpire in his lifetime.
@@bostonseeker truth.
I don't know why but I love that little drum riff intro so much. Its super simple but it brings a smile to my face every time
genuinely one of the coolest funk fills I think I've ever heard. I went over it at 0.25x speed so I could figure out what was going on lol.
performance, production and mixing aside, the arrangements on these covers are amazing! Not a single thing feels out of place or forced! Everyting just runs like a well-oiled machine

The energy emanating from this group during the last minute puts the biggest smile on my face every time.😀

I am so glad that some professors from a university's English department decided to start a band.
What a voice! What a bass tone! What a group! Every Scary Pockets song is unfairly amazing!
just wanna say how much I also love the added backing vocs! super tasteful and impactful. Also the other additional post-production.

Man i just discovered this channel, such a talented band and different singers. I don't know how they come up with all those crazy covers
Stacey’s vocals are just unreal. And the whole band is so incredibly tight. Listening to this on a walk and dancing through the city is the best 🕺
it`s impressive how leeland plays simple and chill. and yet is always another legendary bassline.
Just, damn… how’d it take me so long to find this Gem?! Sklar’s has such a smooth style. Love
Ryan's body is wanting to throw some moves down to this masterpiece but it remembers it also has to contribute those gorgeous guitar vibes. Brilliant performance all round and this makes it into my Pockets Playlist
oh yeah! Leland Sklar on the bass! this is a total blast!
Seen this a hundred times, probably more.... the drummer is a precision octopus of syncopated wonderfulnessness. As a home musician doing my thing, I wish I had someone like that to vibe from. Kudos. (Humble yoda bow...)
Excellent, really inspiring. Her voice has this clean, natural relatability yet it’s so spot on in terms of pitch and tone, clarity and pop. Want to be able to sing like her
This clip in order of beardyness.....No beard, Stubble, Neatly trimmed beard, Actual beard, Leland Sklar beard (and bass) legend!
The bass in this song is so good.
I didn't know this song at all, but leland's bass lines got me hooked so bad. The whole band is insane, but leland is the glue. Love this so much!
I clicked because of Le and was transfixed by Stacy's vocals. 🔥 Killer groove that crushes the original song in every way.🤘
Just found these videos a couple of weeks ago and have been listening through the catalogue since. The standard of musicians and singers is incredible and some of the guest appearances ? Holy shit! Leland Solar, Joe Bonamassa ......it's impossible to pick a favourite tune. Excellent work Scary Pockets.
Stacey Ryan + Scary Pockets = Bliss
+ Leland on the bass = fucking epic
Playing this on repeat for several days. I listen to one instrument every time and I love it when I get to listen not just to the vocals but how each musician contributed to this song. I love Stacey Ryan's voice!
Almost as nice as her navel. Got to watch this at least once a day.
OMG - my Man, Leland rooting the groove as only he can, subtly steering the underpinning into epic territory. Brilliant arrangement, J&R!

Great cover! Leland Sklar is the coolest...if you can rock James Taylor and Estelle, you're in with me.
Doesn't matter how many times I listen to this cover, it will always move my soul. And Leland on the bass. Best tone for this cover. I prefer this version over the original.
Stacey Ryan has such a great voice for these! It's like she's massaging my ears
Please invite her more often!
Perfect they fit together like the fingers of a glove.👏👏👏
Love the guitar echoing the melody in the chorus. Such nice arrangement
You did that song serious justice! Love this style so you can really soak up the lyrics.
Stacy and Leland on a track I've always loved. Great way to start my week!
wow those vocals were so HUGE at the end, they almost didnt fit comin outta my speakers!!! def shook the walls on the way through! what a stellar voice, kid, you go get ems! ~peaces
All these guys just always look like they're having an absolute blast. I love it. The positivity is so infectious.
The final segment is so hype, can't help bopping along to it! Great stuff.
THAT WAS ABSOLUTE FIRE!!!!!!!!!! Seeing Lee Sklar get it with you guys is INCREDIBLE!!!!! Stacey has come a long way over the years!! She absolutely killed that piece!!!!!
This was beautiful. However I can't hear this song without hearing Chug Jug with You in the back of my head!
fr
she is a badass , that chromatic run on 3:30 was everything ... Lee is a beast !!!!!
Very bond like.
The original song never will be the same after to listen the masterpieces you do. What a great musicians you are
I swear I can’t stop listening to this one. So dang good. It feels simple and clean and everyone’s perfectly woven together. You’re all legendary in your own right and it is a joy to see Leland there. Well done peeps!
Love the jazzy, laid-back tone. You guys are great!
I'm a few days late on smashing the like button on this EPIC cover... shame on me!
This is easily up there with the best of the Pockets tracks
une des plus merveilleuse et talentueuse chanteuse que j'ai découverte avec leila huissoud... indescriptible!!!!!
This has got to be the best one yet. The sounds coming out of this are fantastic!!
That bass player has so many genius sessions/ recordings under his belt that he gets to sit down!😄 Leland: you groove!!!
This cover is so good, you could call it...
A Number #1 Victory Royale
Not to be confused with a Royale with Cheese
What an amazing crew you put together for this. Seeing Leland Sklar jamming with you guys is just next level! Love it
Stacey at her best with the best musicians on the Internet. What is there not to love
I didn't know what y'all were talking about with the bass until I listened to this with headphones on. (ears watering) Now I know.
Just wow…. Perfect bassline… perfect production,,,😮💨
We need more billionaire musician and less private equity billionaire!!
Seeing the band get so much enjoyment from the music makes me enjoy it that much more!
Oh wow, what a cover. Goes straight into my Brain
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! Leland Sklar on bass with Scary Pockets? How awesome! What a sound and what a tasteful playing! I just love it.
I've watched this at least 12 times now.
The production is genius, tbh. I think it's one of the best things Scary Pockets has done.
Also Leland Sklar. :o

Very well done!
Amazing performance, building to a stupendous climax
This song is just Leland Sklar. What a legend. Nobody can change the tenor and tone of a recording like he can. It's unbelievable.
Stacey Ryan's voice is perfection
Always a fan of Stacey Ryan! She hits the right groove everytime. That ending was sweet!

this has a Captain of her heart sound to it . vibe .. cool . brought back some memories
Im addicted to this cover. @Stacey Ryan your voice is simply amazing in this track, I LOVE IT
One of the covers that I really keep coming back. Smooth and silky.
One of the coolest covers for sure. Like the arrangement was soo insane and just an insane performance. Super inspiring
3:20 Leland hitting those quad triplets on the last two beats of that measure...
Saruman on the bass!! Magic lines
