  • Hello everyone! It's been a while!
    I'm sorry that I haven't been posting as much, but hopefully this makes up for lost time :)
    Josh and I have been buds for quite some time now, as we met virtually through Instagram in 2014. At that time we were both posting short 15 second clips of music covers and at that time not alot of other people were doing this. I'm so glad that we were able to connect and grow a friendship in real life! He is such a gifted musician, and I am truly so honored to create alongside him.
    The biggest reason we chose this song is mainly because any time I have done a poll online or asked my followers to send me a song request, he has never sent me any other song than "Stardust".
    This song is so hauntingly beautiful, and when he said that he was coming through Nashville recently I knew this was the song we needed to do!
    *ALSO* This song is available on all streaming platforms for everyone to hear! You can purchase it on Apple music and Amazon music as well.

      Brava is the feminine in Italian. Like many words that come directly from one language to another, it tends to be acceptable to use the original--Brava! for applauding a woman, Bravo for applauding a man--or to use an Anglican adaptation which, in this case, is probably to use Bravo! for either gender.

    In 1950, a poll of songwriters voted "Stardust" as the #1 song of the first half of the twentieth century. Certainly an arbitrary choice, with apologies to Louis Armstrong, George Gershwin, Harold Arlen and many others... BUT.... when you hear this cover by Allison and Josh, you understand what they were thinking back in 1950.

      I can only agree with the comments about this young ladies singing. However, I am a fan of Hoagy Carmichael. I am old enough to remember Hoagy Carmichael singing his songs on the radio and appearing on TV. He was once acted in a western TV series called Laramie in which he occasionally sang. I have always loved his music. Most of the lyrics to his music was the work of lyricists such as Johnny Mercer. Just look up the list of his songs. He wrote The American Song Book and was truly one of the great composers of the 20th Century.

      Those intros were a part of the standard formula of the day. Many songs omit them. A couple of Christmas songs come to mind that performances often omit them, "White Christmas", and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."
      My mother was a pianist, and had all of that old sheet music from that era that includes all of those seldom heard sections. Cool stuff.

      BirdYoumans,
      " ... I don't think I was quite expecting that. ..."
      I know what you mean.
      I WAS expecting something special, because that is what I get whenever I watch a new video by either Josh or Allison. That is especially true when they work together, but that was even more special than I had been expecting. "So good!"
      In fact, I was in no hurry to listen to this recording when it first showed up in my subscriptions list because this song has never been one of my favorites, going back to when I used to listen to Glenn Miller's instrumental version on my father's 78 rpm records. I mostly remember Nat King Cole's vocal version from a time when other styles of music seemed more interesting to me. Now Allison and Josh have changed my feelings about this song forever. They are both amazing. I guess by now I should have been expecting that. My bad.

And props to Josh too; lovely playing, and unlike so many competent and more-than-competent guitarists you know how to accompany, providing a backing that flows and complements the singer without ever competing with or upstaging her. It always surprises me how many people don't seem able to do that.

      That was quite incredible. As opposed to bell-tone clarity, you have a breathy quality in your voice. It matches the song quite well. That quality is also quite alluring.
      My reaction to what I heard? It reminds me of a story I heard or read about Johnny Mathis. I don't know its factual basis. That doesn't matter--you'll get the point, anyway.
      Supposedly, Johnny went in to his first recording, or at least major rehearsal session, and prepared to sing. The notably-young instrument playing musicians saw him, and weren't, expecting anything too great.
      But, when he opened he is mouth, and sang those first notes, their posture quickly changed. They really couldn't believe that singing was from 'that kid'.
      We all know the rest of the story.

    I keep coming back to this video. I've probably watch it a few dozen times over the last year, and it always puts a smile on my face. But also, a tear in my eye as it was truly my dad's favorite tune, and not every cover did it justice. He died at age 76 back in 2006, but as a musician himself for over 35 years he would have really loved this! I'm sad he never got a chance to hear and watch it at least once, as I'm pretry sure he would have sworn it AS the finest performance of "Stardust".
    As such, he would have given it his highest personal musical performance rating,... judging it simply: "Tasty" 🙂
    To reach that lofty grade in his mind, the singer would have been flawless and captivating. In this performance the sultry vocals by Allison certainly were, but here also, heartfelt commitment to this old standard was mesmerizing. When you looked into the camera and then shamlessly looked away,... those eyes,... oh Allison your eyes were like a window into your soul!
    A beautiful physical presence a bonus but never required to reach his highest level of appreciation. This of course was a bonus situation, making the performance even more special.
    But what all too often happens is the accompianment is overpowering,... sometimes as loud as if to be the "lead", and stand out and at times overpowering the vocal performance. Ego sometimes influences the instrument player subconsciously, in wanting to compete with the singer. But the SONG is the star, the singer the conveyer of the tune, and the guitar best to reside in the bacvkround,... subtly supporting the vocals and adding lots of "color" and interesting counter point to the performance. If done right (in my dad's mind), the musician is fully heard but slightly in the backround and not overpowering.
    Josh did that and more here,... with a classy intro using harmonics, leading to a subdued intimate fluttering of cords, then building into some really fine fingerstyle incorporating much of what a full orchestra might add off the original score. Then after the pause @1:07, the fingerstyle playing is superb. Josh makes it look so effortless, but there's really a lot he's doing supporting the tune with. (the pinky fretting work done @1:50 always makes me smile :-) (Chet Atkins would have loved this performance also!)
    Josh is a young man, and has advanced so much over the years that I don't even know if he realizes how good his arrangement instincts and playing ability have become. Unselfish in the backround but doing huge support of the tune and vocalist. Loud enough to be clearly heard, followed and enjoyed listening to the magic, he adds loads to the performance!
    Some guitarists play loud because they don't understand the nuonces that softer play can create, helping to form an intimate bond with the audience. Josh's instincts are spot on here, and we're drawn into his musical web of brilliance, and into Allison's wondrous voice and presence. Oh, and those eyes,... did I mention those eyes already? 🙂
    Surely a performance worthy of top rating by my dad,... this was surely..."Tasty"!

      I have to agree. I love this song. I listened to three different well known singers cover it, one being Hoagy himself. I have never heard of Alison and Josh before now, but I have to say, she was just as good, if not better on this song than the three I listened to. Lovely voice, beautifully done. Josh, equally well. Totally agree about his supporting Alison, but not turning it into his song.

    See, this is what the craft of song and singing is all about. Note the phrasing; so hard to find in singers today. Further, note the possession; Allison's making the song hers. It doesn't matter who sang it before. This is her song, right here, right now. That too is a long lost art.
    This is pure gold, the kind you don't find on plated plates, but in the mines of hearts who understand something about communicating when singing.
    Thank you, both, for giving us all a breath of fresh air!
