Last year about this time I was touring England with a Paul Simon tribute show, and the producers were kind enough to let me select a few of my favorites to play alongside the full album Graceland. This is one of those tunes, from Paul's eponymous 1972 album that had bigger hits like "Me and Julio," but I love this one because it shows what a fine guitarist Paul was and is.

Guitar is a 2008 Martin DR tuned down a whole step - strings are D'Addario 13's and the thumb pick is a Golden Gate.

Nobody does Paul Simon justice quite like Josh. That was simply incredible
True true true .... great guitare!!!!
True. To illustrate; I didn't know the song, but I just listened 5 times in a row to Josh's version. Simply amazing.
He makes it look so easy, even though it really isn't.
Guitar playing particularly
Amen!
Got that right!!! Just found this guy today but dang he brought Paul Simon from the dead!! Actually I just googled Paul Simon and it says Paul Simon died Jan 23 , 2022 so hows that possible seeing how its jan 21 , 2022? In any case this guy does Paul Simon proud!! Amazing talented young man
I can't imagine Paul Simon not being proud of this cover.
It’s hard to imagine saying that someone has played a Paul Simon song better than its author, but you have done just that, Josh!
Paul Simon's legacy is Josh Turner !
Well, not only Paul Simon's. I'd say folk music's legacy is Josh Turner.
@@Bazaretbemols Half too much, half true.
Yes
Am I the only one who always clicks the like button before the video even starts cause you just know it's gonna be amazing?
Josh is an old soul, a contemporary talent, a gift to those of us who love great music, guitar playing and vocals.❤
We saw Paul Simon on his farewell tour, it was awesome, but afterwards we were like "Now what do we do?" Thank you Josh Turner! We'll be wherever you are.
James Taylor, Paul Simon and Jackson Browne had a baby
That guitar needs a cigarette after that absolutely filthy picking.
You sound killer, man!
@@georgewodicka4839 is a truth teller!!
WISE words!!
What a great comment. Very evocative. And true.
Top!
That tone 🤤.
That voice 🤤🤤.
That pickin' 🤤🤤🤤.
totally agree.. :)
that sweater !
@@pamucht how could I forget the sweater??
Paul Simon is a hidden gem of a guitarist - he writes such great melodies and lyrics that people lose sight of how great a fingerstyle guitarist he is. I'll never see Paul this close up but when you play this song I can see what a madman Simon is on the frets. You do him great service, because you've got chops that don't quit. Great singing also. Thanks for this, a buried gemstone that most people don't play or hear very much.
As I listen to Josh's beautiful rendition of this song, I can't help but reflect on the awesome genius of Paul Simon who wrote it. I think Josh understands this perfectly well, and is one of the few gifted musicians with the talent able to honor Simon's legacy of music.
That’s just perfect guitar playing. Everybody should go and listen to the original right now just to understand how amazing that guitar performance was.
This is the original - just shifted in time. Enjoy it and ignore all imitations.
Some songs have been recorded to perfection. If I can't improve it no how no way, I work on something else
@@pappyfiddle I tend to think the same way myself, but I sure am glad Josh doesn't.
@@AbigailPoirier Excellent point well put! Who knows what perfection is anyway
@darren miffitt I think the original takes at least two guitar tracks to do what Josh does with one.
Cannot get enough of your Paul Simon covers!
I was fourteen years old when this album came out. Struggled to discern the full meaning of the lyrics at that age. I still sing them while walking our dog at 63 years of age. Consider it a great gift to have this music flowing they me. Nice job bringing this to life in a new way. Virtuoso. Paul would be proud.
Josh singing Paul Simon's songs is grace in its pure form
This whole album is a masterpiece. Do "Run that body down" next 🎵
agree!!!
I am blown away every time. The musicality, the charm, the intelligence, the wonder. It leaves you gasping. It is astounding. Technical exactitude so precisely mixed with a sort of musical genius. I don't think I am exaggerating. Plus, lovely jumper.
So I’m guessing you liked it then... I agree.
@@robertjohnson1962 On the whole, yes.
I'm in awe of how this man bend notes with his pinky. Absolute quality as always.
Beautiful rendition;
“Misinformation followed us like a plague”; one of PS many poignant phrases
I see Josh and Paul Simon and I click
Never fail to impress and provide an amazing performance.
It's the ... "check the doobly doo to see what he diddly did" microphone guy! What do you think of Josh's mic setup?
I wasn't ready for this crossover!
Agreed and his voice on top of it!! Just 😮
@@RustyBrakes I've never once heard a recording from Josh that sounds bad. He used the Zoom H2 for years and made better sounding recordings than most people with thousands of dollars of gear (myself included). Give him an SM57 and a cheap interface and he'll make a beautiful sounding recording.
@@Podcastage absolutely! It's almost like good sounds come from talent and not throwing money at the problem 😥 I'm not including you in this btw, I love the sound you get out of mics, even the random little songs you play for testing!
I have been following you for a few days now, but the more I listen to you, the more I enjoy your lectures.
Such an underrated tune. Resonance then, resonance now. As always, you do Paul serious justice!
I always come back to this tune. Something so profound about it. "Resonant" is an excellent word. It doesn't so much speak to a specific feeling but a way that a number of different and otherwise distinct feelings can feel.
OMG....FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
The performance is beautiful, don't get me wrong, but that reel-to-reel is even more beautiful.
I kept looking at that reel-to-reel also. I have one, it belonged to my husband. I would like to sell it to someone who would truly appreciate it also. Do you have any ideas on how to do that?
@@susanvan1672 I would look into the audiophile subreddit and make a post there (www.reddit.com/r/audiophile/ ). They would absolutely appreciate it. However be warned it is a public forum and someone might try to low ball you or flip it and make a profit. Definitely better than posting on facebook marketplace though, that's just a recipe for a bad time selling sentimental items.
So lying in a darkened room..With migraine..I listen to this exquisite recording...you are the embodiment of style,guitar excellence and musicality...speaking for myself,you’ve lifted me up during this Covid19 confusion ♥️🇨🇦
I love this like a rock ;)
Dang this is a good one, howd I miss it. Jammin
I'm back again to hear it again.
Josh Turner is stunningly good.
💜❤️🙌 Paul Simon 😍💕🙏
Amazing rendition! You do Paul Simon so well.Impressive!!!👏👏👏👏
Fantastic. Nice to see and hear talent and not the marketed rubbish. Thank you.
Louis’s voice and guitar playing bring me such peace and hope… I can’t hear this enough!
Josh is very talented and sounds a lot like Paul Simon.
I agree
Such a talent...please come to Canada after things get kinda back to normal.
try playing that all the way through without a missed note. when you can do that, play it with the subtlety, authority, and attitude josh does. ok now sing to it. ok now add the pressure of hitting "record." if your math is right, you'll see that one take for him is a lifetime of work for most. amazing performance here.
And yet, he does it time after time after time.
He's a true master, and only at that age!
Hey Brian, good to see us Gormans getting around mate.
@@Deliquescentinsight lol yes sir!
Plus keeping the foot stomps perfect like a metronome 😮
All I can say is folk music is safe in the hands of the Other Favorites , another great cover thank you Josh
Uh, just being acoustic doesn't make a tune a folk song, ignorant one.
Josh, so much better than the original !!!!
Absolutely brilliant. With all respect, better than the original.
A mí también me parece mejor que el original. Al menos la guitarra que como siempre lleva el ritmo perfecto, regular y con una gran precisión.
As Paul retires it’s great to see the next Paul Simon in the making. Keep an eye on josh, he’s going to be a big musical success on his own and seeing this performance makes me believe that influences like Simon will be seen in his own future work. Thanks josh
I dont have the credentials to comment on such a good performance, good guitar playing, good person he is.
Once the pandemic leaves, please come to Spain!
Perfect in every way. Hard to imagine the original is any better than this. Perfect singing, playing, arranging, and production. Bravo!
More I play this, More I like... Rock on mate!
Now that your hair is off your forehead, I can see the lightning bolt scar. Cause what you do is magic!
Haha
Peaceful. Even that misinformation followed us
like a plague. Thanks.
WHOA!!!!!
This is from Paul's first solo album in the early 70s. This song is a gem and brings back some great memories. Thank you and now I have to learn to play it!
This was the one GREAT Paul Simon album. None matched.
Nicely done, and my favorite Simon tune of all time. Paul sang it with a little more emotion, but these are different times. When he wrote this, we still had hope.
I wanna hear a bunch of S&G covers now.
Listened…re-listened…forwarded. Spreading the love.
How is it that a performance this good has 300k views and only 11K likes? This makes no sense.
I would say nobody can better Paul Simon.....but you can play and sing his music equally well....that was excellent.
I swoon... This a favorite song of mine. I play it in my repertoire every day. Your version rocks me! Your singing and slight personal vocal nuances are awesome. I am so pleased that I have your videos in my life. Thank you Josh.
without stating the obvious ,, you are so good in your own right ,, Fantastic ,
Paul Simon Jnr, you inspire me to try and do better in every way. Thankyou!
Woah. That's something very special you've got there, man.
His musicianship never ceases to inspire me.. Beautiful. That sounded like two guitars. He's a master
Josh, Once again, your sensitivity and skill takes me to an elevated experience of music I've know for decades. Thank you for continuing to breathe new life into songs from the 60's and 70's. This song was on Simon's first solo album, a collection of songs that became my soundtrack to the summer 1972. - Paul
still watch your covers from like 5 years ago my guy
(almost as usual with you) this is what happens when passion meets true mastery. You're only able to achieve such levels of musicality because you have a beautiful heart Josh, congrats.👍
Now where talking Josh ..humm singing it how it should be ...excellent guitar work ...
Paul Simon NEEDS to see this. I think it would make him overjoyed to know that his music is living on in the talented voice and hands of someone as supremely talented as this young man.
I didn't know that very cool song. Thanks for covering and sharing!
No doubt - one of the country’s BEST pickers and singers - amazing.
Best cover of this Paul Simon song.
The Paul Simon of todays generation. It's as simple as that. Period.
If JT offered online lessons I would pay for them in a heartbeat!
I am so enjoying this in The Bahamas :)
I wonder if Paul Simon watches your videos and wishes he could do his songs as well as you do, Josh. Wow!!!
beautiful
Took 1.3 seconds to like this. So grateful for Josh Turner...the taste of picking covers is superb and then there is the jaw dropping performances.
I'm a big fan of Paul Simon and yours!! You guys could perform together sometime. It would be great! Happy Thanksgiving from Brazil!
I'm going to say it, better than the original! simply amazing
Excellent, excellent, excellent and bravo!
This isn't an obvious song to cover, and quite tricky to get right. Just superb, from a big Paul Simon fan.
I've not found a video of Paul Simon playing this in his prime...but this will do nicely!
I had the pleasure of seeing Josh, Carson, Reina, & Tony in Portland OR Prior to the the restrictions we now live with.
They were Great Josh is an unbelievable Guitar master he never ceases to amaze , I fell in Love with this song when it came out Thanks Josh
Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you.

Paul Simon is not yet dead
This is my favorite song!
If you’re awake, this song hits different. It brings me to tears, I love to sing along. Josh as usual has an incredible cover here.
Theres nothing better than Paul Simon by Josh Turner
Josh, this is so lovely. I adore Paul Simon and his music, it is literally the soundtrack of my life. And your covers are the next best thing, they are. I am always so happy when you post a new one. I do hope to see you live in concert one day.
Thanks, Josh for all u do. And yes, thankfully, “the plans have changed!”
Excellent....
Thanks Josh. I so appreciate your gorgeous rendition of this great song. Picking and voice so beautiful. My first album ever, when I was eleven. I carry every song I my heart. This song is perfect today.
