Now, this is music. Real music, and performed to perfection by real artists. Thank you. All of you for a wonderful performance. I don't think it could of been any better.....
Gotta say it: I get more pure musical pleasure out of the 200 or so Josh Turner videos than anything else on UA-cam. And if you branch out into his buddies--Carson and Reina and the gang--it gets even better. Thank you so much for doing what you do so well!
John Marinelli..Josh is a very Talented Musician and his videos are Great...But c’mon Dude really, check out F & F...Suite Judy Blue Eyes, and if you’ve seen it before, then watch it again ...It is hands down the Best Cover on UA-cam...Musicianship, Lead Vocals, Harmonies, Timing, Audio Mix and Sound Quality are all Top Notch...every bit as good as CSN’s original...or at least Graham Nash thought so...and JM...Good Luck with your budding career as a Music Critic... Jh
I would certainly put Toni Lindgren and Reina del Cid in his league...Josh & Toni could form a 5 piece band with just the two of them participating since they each play so many instruments so well.
Josh, it has brought me much joy to watch you grow from a skinny kid doing a singing book report to being on the cusp of stardom. I love your music. Makes me wish I could meet your parents and give them my best regards.
Josh has this incredible was of stripping a song down to its core and then performs it in a way that sounds better than the original recording. This guy is a world class talent IMO.
@@eckdavid2472 he has definitely done this. "19 and aimless" has been covered several times. he's got several albums of his own stuff written by this point
Josh seems to be a burning porch light attracting other excellent musicans to him like moths to his light. Every time I see another YT video he has a whole different group of musicians with him and they all always sound freaking superb IF NOT BETTER like they've been playing together for years! This guy just seems to effortlesly ooze music! Ain't never seen nuthin' like it! WOWZA!!!
That brought a tear to my eyes😢. We lost our mom in April of 2015. She was the heart of the family. Thank you for doing this song-for a young man ,you really captured the essence of this tune-thank you to you and your bandmates. Keep up the good work. ❤
The choir is my favorite part. Awesome job all around. Josh is a saint. I love seeing people of different races, and backgrounds come together to create something beautiful
Hi from France =D My one year old baby boy adores this cover. He asks for it every day saying "...wok? ..wok?". We tried with the Paul Simon version but he only wants yours... It's hilarious and cute =P So thank you, and please, keep going !
From France too...I'm sixty five, I used to listen to Paul Simon's record in the 70's when it was released, and I also very often click the Josh video button saying "wok wok" ; Or at least on some Josh video saying "osh osh". But it's much much less cute.... :D Anyway, Josh is best! Alice, votre fils a un gout très sûr et c'est "trop mognon" ! Je vois mes deux petits enfants ce week-end, je leur ferai écouter ce morceau. (impatient, ça fait des mois...)
@@333ubik333 Ah très bon programme, j'espère que ça leur plaira :) Si jamais, je vous conseille aussi ses reprises de Baby Driver (Paul Simon) et Sloop John B (The Beach Boys). Elles donnent la patate et elles marchent très bien avec les enfants.
@@aliceauzou2897 Mes deux petites tornades (frère et soeur, 2 et 5 ans ) étaient ravies et ça leur a donné un prétexte de plus pour danser et sauter partout à la moindre occasion. :-) Je n'avais pas pensé à Baby Driver et Sloop John B. Merci. Je les revois pour les fêtes de fin d'année et j'avais déjà pensé aux chants de Noel de la chaîne.. De tout façon, guitariste amateur mais de bien piètre talent, à la retraite depuis peu, je ne peux qu'être admiratif de l'ensemble du travail de Josh. Btw, mon fils et ma fille ont trouvé amusante et adorable l'idée de votre fils réclamant la vidéo. :-) Bonne journée !
What a sweet, light touch! That little choir sounds sweet as molasses. All the musicians used their instruments like scalpels. I just can’t say enough. This comes as close to a perfect presentation as can be done.
Haven't heard much of josh's stuff before.....have now....what an incredibly talented musician this lad is....fantastic voice...and excellent guitar player....glad I decided to listen to one of his videos.....got me reaching for my guitar,then heard his guitar playing....and I thought....I'll just throw mine in the bin...lol👌
Of all the things I love about Josh Turner (and there's lots of them) the top of the list is his sheer joy he shows at the music he makes, and the sounds the people with him (if there are any) create. No-one has more fun, and showing it, making music than Josh, and it communicates to the others, and to us!
Why are so many people trying to convince us that everyone's the same? Why can't we celebrate our differences? There's no other way to get that gospel choir sound than to have a gospel choir. The combination of a skinny white boy embellished by a black gospel choir is so perfect for this song.
The 1 thing I truly love obout Josh is the little signs of pure pleasure and enjoyment he shows. Abuntantly clear in this. He's always smiling or smirking. This was an awesome performence. It is also important to note just how much fun everyone is having here. Espescialy the percussion section (shakers & tambo) 😂😂 I love this video and have watched about a gagillion times.
Its amazing. In the old days, you didn't really see artists until they spent their time honing their skills. We have watched Josh progress through the years via UA-cam. He is now a full fledged star. Way to go Josh.
Five years ago I had a chance to listen to a number of your songs and often commented just how good your music was. Well, here it is five years later and it's even "gooder!" In fact, great is a much more appropriate word. Please keep it up. Your best most definitely is yet to come! Kudos indeed!
If Josh Turner was turned loose on the whole world and gave them a chance to sing along....the world would be a better place and live in harmony. My favorite musician/singer in my whole life. Been a fan since 2009.
It is absolutely ridiculous how many times I have heard this. I didn't even know who Paul Simon was before and now he has a fan...but it was only because of this interpretation and uncanny cover. Amazing talent.
Stuck home in coronavirus lockdown. I can't tell you how it brightens my day to see a bunch of fantastic musicians who obviously love what they are doing and are having fun. Except the the electric guitar player - he needs to smile more. Josh looks like he is truly have a blast.
This is better than the original. Its slower and the soul from the backup singers overflows and has it's own presence. The key changes are sheer brilliance as well - those really elevate this performance to another level and exhibit mastery. 10/10 man, well done! Wow..
Excellent! Paul Simon is one of the most gifted musicians/songwriters to ever walk this planet. It takes a lot of talent to replicate his work so well. You are also very gifted Josh Turner! I believe you are also a gifted songwriter as well.
my number one go to on UA-cam now. I learn more and enjoy thoroughly seeing this kid play and perform. he's got style and grace and i can't get enough of him. amazing musicianship and heart and soul. please God protect him from the evils of higher level recording industry.
His time is here. In my view Josh will be a major star, with a long and brilliant career, because he really loves music and has put in the work--nothing fake about him. Inspiring!
Why does everyone want him to become a big star? That always ruins the music ...and often it ruins the people. A modest career in music, slightly under the radar of big business, is much healthier!
This is the best arrangement and performance of this song I have ever seen. I love it! Such great talent and enthusiasm! You are an amazing musician Josh! Love watching you and Carson perform! No matter what you do and who you perform with is so amazing, just so damn talented!
Josh, I follow you since 2018 and I never stopped, why? It´s all about the way you put magic in every song. Pure Magic!!! Portugal is waiting for you and your friend Carson !! :)
Josh glasses definitely glasses. But damn doesn't matter what you do you do it to perfection and that backup group, Excellent!!! Makes my day every day.
I don't know how many times I watched this and it is still waaaay cool and I forgot to give hats off to the choir ....you folks rock it so sweet! Thanks.
Man, seeing you grow from playing duets with Carson to a full blown band like this makes me have more respect for you as a blues guitarist. Keep it up dude, really love your covers!
Josh looks and sounds like a young Paul Simon would have years ago when he was Josh's age! This is the 1st time I've encountered him and I'm impressed! I like what I've heard! Rock on, Josh!
Oh, WOW!!!! Absolutely love Paul Simon. You did that song beautifully. I didn’t think I’d ever say this but you did as good as him!!!! Great job!!!!!!!!
Loved it! Every second of it, AND each time I listen again, it's just as good as the first. That is high quality...most musicians never reach this level, IMHO, but I haven't heard Josh miss one yet.
Foxes and Fossils got me here after watching them and you singing " harvest moon". Brilliant and beautiful voice and wicked back up singers and fabulous band!!
Now, this is music. Real music, and performed to perfection by real artists. Thank you. All of you for a wonderful performance. I don't think it could of been any better.....
The backup singers are absolutely beautiful!
Totally agree
Gotta say it: I get more pure musical pleasure out of the 200 or so Josh Turner videos than anything else on UA-cam. And if you branch out into his buddies--Carson and Reina and the gang--it gets even better. Thank you so much for doing what you do so well!
It also helps that they are all just as cute as a bug orchestra. I just want to hug all of them.
Don't forget foxes and Fossils! Between Josh and them, I have a great mix!
@@michaellambing3986 Yes indeed.
@@michaellambing3986 and don't forget Toni and her brother's band Northsoul!

This is the most beautiful cover version I've ever heard in my life. These days, I listen to it at least twice a week. It makes me happy.
You and Paul Simon songs go together well like fingers in a glove .
that's an analogy I've never heard before
That's almost a Neil Diamond lyric. ua-cam.com/video/Z2GUPnnMxIM/v-deo.html
But not like OJ's fingers in his glove...
True!
@@gingerbeer914 great observation...but that's not where i got it from
Nobody out there today is as good as this guy....NO ONE.
I would certainly put Toni Lindgren and Reina del Cid in his league...Josh & Toni could form a 5 piece band with just the two of them participating since they each play so many instruments so well.
Wait a minute. Cool down. Van Morrison and Boz are still alive.
Agreed
Josh, it has brought me much joy to watch you grow from a skinny kid doing a singing book report to being on the cusp of stardom. I love your music. Makes me wish I could meet your parents and give them my best regards.
well i means hes still skinny :P
He’s in my stardom, his and Carson’s voice just keep getting richer
I was still processing how great this guy sounds when the background singers came in. It was almost to much for me to bear. Pure joy. Thank you.
Josh has this incredible was of stripping a song down to its core and then performs it in a way that sounds better than the original recording. This guy is a world class talent IMO.
Absolutly
I agree Kevin.
There's no doubt he's really talented, but I'd like to see him write his own songs that are so good people want to do covers of them.
He's one of the MOST TALENTED young men I've seen in my 71 years!
@@eckdavid2472 he has definitely done this. "19 and aimless" has been covered several times. he's got several albums of his own stuff written by this point
I've listened to this so many times the Paul Simon version sounds like a Josh Turner cover.
👍👍👍💘
Josh has a better voice than Paul ever did.
Well said!
@@faith8139 his voice is a cross between Paul Simon and James Taylor. what a blend !
Maybe because it is a Paul Simon song.
That vocal back up.....no words....AMEN❤️
What a choir!
Josh seems to be a burning porch light attracting other excellent musicans to him like moths to his light.

This guy just seems to effortlesly ooze music! Ain't never seen nuthin' like it! WOWZA!!!
The voices of the background singers are sheer beauty. That moment when they begin is very emotional. Josh superb, as always.
Which one do you want to do the most?
Toe tapping joy in my heart music…. They are a wonderful
Group of super talented singers….. love the band too!
that choir!
Literal goosebumps when they came in
That was COMPLETELY classy. Cannot put it into words just how good that was.
Note to UA-cam: Josh Turner Guitar channel needs to be in everyone’s recommend feed. :)
I agree😊
You got that right brother!
Absolutely!
Also Carson’s channel, which needs some love
johndoe787878 - agreed!
Seeing this guy play live is on my bucket list.
On my bucket list as well...
Bought tix to his December show in NYC.
Aye! Absolutely!
Going to see and hear him when visits "de Melkweg" in Amsterdam november 2021. Still tickets available.........!!
25 September 2022 in Cologne here
This mama/grandma/great grandma loves you, too, Josh. Your music is an awesome 🎁. Incredible living energy. Thank you, Josh, for being you.💜

Stay strong, my friend
A man ahead of his time. Look he's playing a show like its 2020
This is absolutely ridiculously cold blooded bad ass awesome.
you got that right!
I couldn't have put it better....lol
Succinctly put. Big-J
Preach brother
Never heard of him. Liked & subscribed about 30 seconds in. (I rarely like & subscribe - that's only for those that approach Elvis-awesomeness!)
The choir is my favorite part. Awesome job all around. Josh is a saint. I love seeing people of different races, and backgrounds come together to create something beautiful

hi alice i read your comment and had to laugh .. so cool ur baby loved the song.. is 4 y old now.. does he still listen to it ? greetings from CH
Wow, that is the best version of that song I have ever heard. It had everything ... rock, bluesy gospel and soul.
What a sweet, light touch! That little choir sounds sweet as molasses. All the musicians used their instruments like scalpels. I just can’t say enough. This comes as close to a perfect presentation as can be done.
A year later... I still love listening to this
I've returned to this song so many times, and I still listen to it until Josh says "nice". Such a great blend of musical art and skills!
This is the best thing on the Internet. God bless you Josh Turner! 👍👍

that's how paul simon did it...
It's great to hear younger singers just sing without a bunch of attempted vocal gymnastics. Great job!

The Choir and the Band is The Best!!!!!!!!!!
This is surely a new high point in all of our lives.
Incredible cover! Paul Simon’s masterpieces should be performed and enjoyed by a new generation!
Very very rarely you come across a cover that just gives you chills. This is one of those times.
Look at all these lovely souls singing together and I can't see any skin colour only beautiful harmony.
This is honestly phenomenal, since you uploaded this I've probably listened to it 20 times.
This guy is a ridiculously good musician. As good as anyone in the world. I hope we see more videos of him singing. So good.
I can't get enough of Josh's rendition of this song. I absolutely love it and find myself singing along. Josh, you are an amazing musical artist!
Goodness, I got goosebumps when the choir came in. Fabulous.
ANGELS AS BACK UP SINGERS !
For me he gives a new life to all the songs he plays and it s a real pleasure to hear him playing and singing
Thank you Josh
Absolutely amazing. The joy showing on the faces of Joshua and the choir speaks volumes about this show.
So much love undercover .. being discovered.. through the "mother" loving us all "LIKE A ROCK" .
Thank Q Josh Turner 🍀

The Choir is Simply The Best!!!
Your growth in confidence is showing, aptly so. I hope Paul gets a chance to see this.
Where have I been that I'm just now seeing Josh Turner. This is by far the best music I have heard in years. This guy is incredible!!!
This is better than the original. Its slower and the soul from the backup singers overflows and has it's own presence. The key changes are sheer brilliance as well - those really elevate this performance to another level and exhibit mastery.

I m addicted to this performance....I get taken to another of life....Thank You!!!
It doesn't matter what you sing. It will always sound good. You're the best.
Those back up singers are just blowing my mind!!!!!
This may have been mentioned below - but I love the key changes on this. Starts in E then goes up to F and then up to F# - to the end. Brilliant
Testament to Simons songwriting skills and vocals.
Thanks, I noticed the key changes but not what keys. It was brilliant.
This brings tears of joy to my eyes, this is what America is all about. United we stand.❤️

Saving real music one song at a time. Thank you, Mr. Turner, for your dedication to the craft and soul.of being a musician.
This was outstanding. Close my eyes and I am listening to a young Paul Simon. Just wonderful.
Goose bumps, tears, joy. Thank you for this, Josh and friends!

In a league of his own. He's just dang great !!
Your vocals, Josh ... woaaa your vocals are outstanding ... and the choir, too. Excellent, proficient.
Josh all I can say is that is soo cool wow was it ever thanks for sharing and that was tops I just loved it.
What is music? This is music.
Oh, WOW!!!! Absolutely love Paul Simon. You did that song beautifully. I didn’t think I’d ever say this but you did as good as him!!!! Great job!!!!!!!!
Jeez, I'd stumbled across a few of his videos so I knew he was an awesome guitarist, but this was eye-opening. Vocals were magnificent!
I’ve listened to this about a dozen times and I still get goosebumps every time the background singers join in. Awesome!
Loved it! Every second of it, AND each time I listen again, it's just as good as the first. That is high quality...most musicians never reach this level, IMHO, but I haven't heard Josh miss one yet.
Right! I find after I listen to this, for the next 5 days, it's on my mind constantly!
Every time I watch one of your videos, I think it’s even better than the last one. Josh, What you are doing is FANTASTIC.
Foxes and Fossils got me here after watching them and you singing " harvest moon". Brilliant and beautiful voice and wicked back up singers and fabulous band!!
The combination of his playing and voice mixed with the beautiful choir-soul style vocals is amazing. my ears are so happy.
