This is the Jackson C. Frank COVER VERSION of "Blues Run The Game" used in S01E16 (Memphis) of "This Is Us" during William's bus ride after seeing his mother Dorothy. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! PEACE
How do you manage to simultaneously make it sound so effortless, and yet make it feel like you gave us a piece of your soul? Lovely version of a super song. Thank you!
heard you on the radio on some random station in Boston while flipping through, (I'm a truck driver) and I'd never heard the song. I was so taken by it that I risked life and limb driving with one knee in Dorchester while scribbling some of the lyrics on a diesel reciept so I could look this song up. You've the song great justice and you have an amazing grasp at the soul of this piece. Well done!
Thank you, this means so much to me im very greatful. Im sorry you risked your limbs but thank you for bringing a huge smile to my face. Lots of love xxxx

I first heard this sung in my kitchen by 2 members of a rock band at 5am. We were in a hoop. The film footage is called "Kitchen Sessions" is on my page. Your version is my shower song!!
Definitely the best cover I have ever heard of this wonderful song - your playing and your voice is simply angelic - what a treat - thanks so much - I just love this LP
Wow. Simply wow. Tears, and yet somehow hope, streaming down my face and in my heart. I hope you release an album soon! Thank you for sharing a piece of yourself with us.
The Jackson C Frank version is one of my favorite songs, and I think I adore your rendition just as much! Somehow it feels like a classic; like a song that was sang and recorded decades ago. Lovely
I used my Shazam a lot of times to find out this song while watching This Is Us episode 16 but Shazam failed to recognize it. I am so glad to have found this!!! Amazing❤
This must be a record....I am listening to this song from morning.....and I cant stop listening to it.....Thanks sharing such a pure part of ur soul......I never thought I could listen to same song whole day....Sunday WELL SPENT!!
this is one of my favorite songs in the world, you made it even better. you're voice is so clear and stunning and suits it so well. thank you so much, i'm gonna have this on repeat for a long time:)
A friend of mine gave me link to this on my birthday. And I'm really glad for that! This is one of the most soul-touching pieces I've ever listened to! This is the song I want to listen to as I fall asleep watching the moon on a chilled winter night
Wow! You have the voice of an Angel. It's one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. This is Us is my favorite show ever. I loved this song from the second I heard it. When "Memphis" aired and I heard this rendition I was absolutely blown away. So beautiful!
Deserve so much attention.. so underrated , talented soul , touching voice, everytime I go to work, can't stop listenning to this cover 😢 deserve more views and more followers!
I clicked this video yesterday because I thought the song title was interesting. Since then I’ve listened to Jackson’s album twice and learned of his tragic life story. I don’t know how I missed his music for 52 years, but I sure am grateful you introduced me to it. Still, I keep coming back and listening to this searingly beautiful cover because your voice is just incredible and your version seems to me just as authentic as the original.
This has been my favorite song since it originally came out. No one has touched the original in my mind. Till now, wow! You have captured the soul if this song perfectly.
Just started watching This Is Us and had to find out who sang this song so beautifully! You have a wonderful voice that fits perfectly with this song. Thank you for giving us this gift!
Ah well Janileigh Cohen, you just gave me all the feels. I never write comments on anything, but there are always exceptions, and you're exceptional. This is my favourite song because I can relate to it more than any other song. You sang it beautifully and emotionally, with heart as if you have lived it. I get Courtney Barnett vibes from you, so def gonna give you a follow.
Amazing voice and singing.. Keep this us up.. Going through a tough time and this was my song and came across your cover and it is beautiful.. Thanks 😊
Whatever you do - don't give up. I know every artist hates comparisons but there's a piece of Joan Baez in you, maybe some Janis too. Others I could mention come to mind. Too lovely for this world. Take care and all the best. X
I originally found your video a few months ago - I was looking for covers of this song after I fell in love with it from "This is Us". Imagine my delight when they played YOUR VERSION on the most recent episode (2/21/17). I recognized your voice immediately. WAY TO GO!
Absolutely beautiful young lady, what a tribute to a tormented talent like Jackson Frank I was haunted by this song when I heard it on "this is Us"and swear I heard it years ago, so I picked up my Taylor and went hunting when I found this. You have the voice of an angel.
"This Is Us" brought me here.. your voice is beautiful & your version of this song is amazing!

LOL ! I can relate -- not a truck driver, but I've scribbled the station and time I heard a song so I could look it up.
Wow!
They should play the original too
Great reply buddy. I'm a Uk Irish dispatch guy and did the same thing. Such a shame regards Jackson. What a talent what a tune. Cheers
They used your cover in "This Is Us." Thank you for your beautiful cover. You are amazing.
You really capture Jackson C. Frank's melancholic tone but you also have your own spin on it. Really like this cover.
Verse 1]
Catch a boat to England, baby
Maybe to Spain
Wherever I have gone
Wherever I've been and gone
Wherever I have gone
The blues are all the same
[Verse 2]
Send out for whisky, baby Send out for gin Me and room service, honey Me and room service, babe Me and room service Well, we're living a life of sin
[Verse 3]
When I'm not drinking, baby
You are on my mind
When I'm not sleeping, honey
When I ain't sleeping, mama
When I'm not sleeping
You know you'll find me crying
[Verse 4]
Try another city, baby Another town Wherever I have gone Wherever I've been and gone Wherever I have gone The blues come following down
[Verse 5]
Living is a gamble, baby Loving's much the same Wherever I have played Whenever I've thrown them dice Wherever I have played The blues have run the game
[Verse 6]
Maybe tomorrow, honey
Someplace down the line
I'll wake up older
So much older, mama
I'll wake up older
And I'll just stop all my tryin'
[Verse 1/Outro]
Catch a boat to England, baby
Maybe to Spain
Wherever I have gone
Wherever I've been and gone
Wherever I have gone
The blues are all the same
