Love how they allowed the song to be played out in the front end with out jumping into lyrics to soon. Many cover this great tune but start singing too soon for my liking. Great job by these musicians.
Yes, it's definitely our own take on the song. Some would prefer if we were more true to the original and I get that, but we always put our own 'stink' on cover tunes :)
"And the women were beautiful..." I always wondered, in search of perfecting this song, what a women's chorus could do to it. I think it would be beautiful. This is quite great though. Amazing band.
I've seen the porter Satriani version the Dave Matthews version and although the porter version is very unique I think the double wide Kings overall is the best version
Sweet Edit - The music is tight, but honestly I left it play through and saved because the vocals are the best I’ve heard do this song… Tops Dave M for me .. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm 60 years old and I know when somebody can play rock and roll thank you guys can play I've seen everybody all the rock bands so when I first watched your video I was kind of a little ticked off because it was a Neil Young video but then I watched you and I really like your version excellent long live rock and roll
Good suggestion. We have been talking about doing Turn To Stone and also Rocky Mountain Way. We live in Santa Barbara, California and Joe Walsh has a place here.
Sincèrement, je ne connais pas l'histoire de Cortez, mais votre version est vraiment top, j'aime bien celle de Grace Potter et Joe Satriani, mais la vôtre et super y compris votre second mouvement. Merci .
Check your history out. There was always hate and war, that's how the Aztec became so powerful. The song sounds good though, I've listened to it for years
Thank you for liking it! Yes, we haven't really promoted it in any way -- it just kind of got discovered organically. It was a magical moment in our Neil Young show.
We so appreciate your enthusiastic reviews, Vinny! I wish we could do an East Coast tour. If you are ever out West, please let us know so we can see if there is a gig you can check out. Please sign up for our mailing list on our website at www.doublewidekings.com and that way you can see updated news and new videos.

I love it when I watch this video there's never One commercial not one time and I've watched this video a hundred times
Bluesified.
Niiiiice.
Front even sounds like Young. 😘
I've listened to this 100 * at least in the last 3 days
Thank you, Vinny! We are so glad to hear that you like our version of this tune! It is definitely our own take on it.
Love how they allowed the song to be played out in the front end with out jumping into lyrics to soon.

Great job by these musicians.

This song begs for your own interpretation it's a beautiful song God Bless Neil Young
Yes, it's definitely our own take on the song. Some would prefer if we were more true to the original and I get that, but we always put our own 'stink' on cover tunes :)
Just makes me SOOOO happy...every time I hear it! SOOOOOO CHIIIILLLLLLLLL....OW!

Great guitar playing!! Hats off to you all.
Superb

Thanks, Vinny. We are all in our late 50's or early 60's. We are pretty stoked to be playing rock and roll at our age😁
Hell yeah!! 🤘🏼
Nohhhh. The best.
Enhorabuena gran cover del maestro. rock and roll never die

Great version
I would love to see them play Turn to Stone by the Eagles
Good suggestion. We have been talking about doing Turn To Stone and also Rocky Mountain Way. We live in Santa Barbara, California and Joe Walsh has a place here.
thx for the harp
Pura sangre la voz parecida a la de Neil. Bravoooooo
Verrrrryyyy niiiiiccee !!
Sincèrement, je ne connais pas l'histoire de Cortez, mais votre version est vraiment top, j'aime bien celle de Grace Potter et Joe Satriani, mais la vôtre et super y compris votre second mouvement.
Merci .
Adoro essa música.
Oustanding.!!!
Bravissimi!!!! 👍🇮🇹
Damned good redition.
I liked the part from 00:01 to 9:18 the best.
I'm sure Neil enjoyed this cover
good version
Woooooohhh
If you love this song like i do check out Grace Potter and Joe Satriani its amazing
I've seen Grace's video over 100 times
I can't choose between this and Grace and Joe's version...superb.
@@stevenamos8668 Dave Matthews and Warren Haynes do an awesome version
The Grace Potter version of this is really amazing I don't know how many time I've watched it but I'm always blown away by it
This adds another great version to the Cortez pantheon.The ultimate E minor. jam.Love it now and forever.
cool crowning version 😁
and they build up with their bare hands what we still cant do today
Just amazing, up with the original and dare i say even better in some ways.
I agree, Davy knowles also did a killer cover of this one...these guys are good
Check your history out. There was always hate and war, that's how the Aztec became so powerful. The song sounds good though, I've listened to it for years
True that!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✌🏼
Wow😄
Diggin"n it
check out the version with Joe Satriani.. Steve Kimock..Grace Potter..etc
Yep, that is a good one too!
Jesus man!
Choi oi....numba 1
Are y’all in cahoots with cottonmouth kings?
What shocked me about this song is the low watch count. Not discovered by many I think.
Thank you for liking it! Yes, we haven't really promoted it in any way -- it just kind of got discovered organically. It was a magical moment in our Neil Young show.
If you like this one check out Warren Haynes and Dave Matthews. Out of this worl
Yes, that is a great one!
Excellent ❤
Subscribe it's worth it these are the bands we gotta support and it's not like they're a charity case they got skills
If you're ever in New York state give me a shout out I would love to come see you

And I'm not going to lie to you I've watched this video at least 500 times
@@vinnyone1585 Thank you. We probably have too 😎
Holly shit
If Neil Young had studied history the song could be named after Custer the killer or any Anglo-Saxon exterminator
Cortez is appropriate enough.
They were all killers.
❤❤❤
🙏🏼☝️

Who is the drummer?
Jan from Denmark
Hi Jan. Our drummer is Charlie C. He's been with us since the beginning. Thanks for watching!
🎼Bassist is killer, good vocals & excellent Musicianship, but you can't really replace that , "Young
Grunge."🎵🎸
Thank you. Agreed. So why try? Why not make it our own?
You can hear Dave Matthews Band together with Warren Haynes.
Great song, but Young did romanticize a brutal killer in Montezuma who may have been worse than Cortez.
Who did this first and who wrote it?
Neil Young
Neil. The who;e album "Zuma" is gamechanging.
Yes, it was Neil. But one pleasure of life is that you can cover every song you like.
Love Neil and love this killer version.
Beloved Neil Young
