Hey Jeremy and Jillian. I'm the DGrubbs from the video! Now you can see why I donated and wanted you guys to see this one! 😂 Most people have similar reactions and are speechless the first time they see it (my jaw was on the floor myself and I have been a Kasey fan for decades). And it keeps getting better with repeated viewings. I believe it belongs up there with the greatest covers of all time! If you want to do more Kasey, I suggest her song Ain't No Little Girl the PBS Bluegrass Underground version. So a little background: Kasey is an incredibly successful solo country artist in Australia after growing up playing in the family band. Her dad still performs with her (that was him on the lap steel). She is the youngest person to ever be inducted into the Australian Recording artist Hall of Fame and has won 14 awards from them 9 for best country album. Her band is a mix of country/bluegrass but they can clearly rock hard. As for the cell phone thing, the song was professionally recorded but not filmed, so hence the call for the audience to send cell phone footage. Anyway thanks for taking my request, judging by the fact you already have 122 comments in a few hours, hopefully you will get tons of views, likes and subscribers off the back of this! At the very least, I sense you have some new fans in Australia.
Good job David. Eventually we’ll get this song out there and everyone will know about it. It amazes me how people say Eminems version is upbeat, Kasey didn’t changed the words, she just slowed it down.
Thank you very much, David!!! Our apologies, your name didn't come through with the song sponsorship. This was an epic surprise of massive proportions...prob the best cover we've ever heard. Thank you for introducing us (and our audience) to Kasey. She has lots of new fans and deserves all the success!! We so appreciate your terrific request, thank you again!! ❤️🥷✌🏽
I would never have labelled the drummer as country or bluegrass 😆. Syd is rock from way back. My favourite drummer ever. Look up Mantissa and you can see his early days. I honestly wouldn't have watched (and loved) this video if I didn't know he was in the band at the moment.
I agree with the recommendation for next - Ain't No Little Girl the PBS Bluegrass Underground version. As with most Aussie Artists, the live recordings will be a bit more special then studio.
I'll never come to terms with this insane version of Lose Yourself. This song is on repeat, I play it everyday on UA-cam and Spotify, and yet, it doesn't have the views you would expect. idc because I get to spring this on unsuspecting souls. How haunting is her voice and, hold yourself, omg, how angry do you have to be, to leave it all on stage. So far, the best cover of any song ever, and you can throw in the classics, because this tops them all. btw the 2-letter abbreviation for Austria is AT;
The only thing I can compare this to is when Johnny Cash did "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails. She took the song and exposed the true meaning of the words underneath. Brilliant and beautiful.
We completely agree!!!! We recently did "Hurt", so we know exactly what you mean. Kasey's cover is probably one of, if not THE, best we've ever heard. Unbelievably good.
ooohhh, @@Chrisinpommyland ...Big Push's "I Shot the Sheriff" was pretty awesome too. Forgot about that one, please check it out when you have time: ua-cam.com/video/REGTKhTsLN8/v-deo.htmlsi=1Fk7UoHwix_vC-LU
Kasey presented this performance as her life in song - as a journey. It starts with the soft plead of uncertainty highlighting a lack of confidence. Then the mood all changed to a cry of anguish and determination. Finally, after all the hard work comes tremendous acclamation and success. She lost herself and left her soul on stage, laid bare and battered. What an unbelievable and brilliant deconstruction of Eminem's incredible artistry.
Love seeing you here, Kitty!!! Honestly, we didn't even know she was Australian until the comments!! The donation request didn't include any mention, so it was a happy surprise!! We saw WHERE she was performing, but that didn't translate to us that she was from AUS (so many performers from around the world perform there). So awesome...as you know, we LOVE our Aussies!!
Notice the first 2 verses are story telling. A narrative in the third person ( he / his). The third verse is in the present tense and the first person ( i / me). Hope this helps people understand why "the mood all changed"
Kasey is big in Australia but not well known here. She is considered country, but her music adds elements of folk, blues and rock also. Try one of her original songs. I would suggest Ain't no little girl. Try the live version from Bluegrass underground.
She brought the heart and soul to the song, haunting and then the anguish. She then found the anger and rage. Her interpretation is brilliant, she worked on this during covid lockdown. Try Am I not pretty enough which she wrote as she was not getting any airtime and ironically was a big hit. Then Captain which was used for an episode of the Sopranos, and Ain’t no little girl. Loved the reaction 😊
I am SO delighted y’all are reacting to this. Kasey Chambers is fantastic. There’s a live performance of her and another Australian performer of I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry that is simply perfection. This coming from someone who likes country music about as much as Jeremy does unless it’s Home Free. Anyway, this is fantastic, thank you!
Thank you, Sharon!! We love seeing you here! Just checked on "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" - was the other Aussie performer male or female? I'm seeing both versions and want to get the right one. Appreciate your help!
@@musikbyjh this is the version - ua-cam.com/video/FBcOXM8-3EI/v-deo.htmlsi=OT97cqBnMT8T5Hg5. Also recommend anything from the Paste Sessions, but Ain’t No Little Girl is 🔥
Kasey Chambers is an Australian treasure. She is known within the US Bluegrass, Alt Country and Americana scenes but she has never broken out into the US mainstream. Her structure to ‘ Lose Yourself’ reminds me of Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven and The Who’s Behind Blue Eyes. Her performance reminds me of Janis Joplin singing Ball and Chain at Monterey
Another commentator on another reaction described it best. "Kasey has delivered it like the 3 part story it is. Background of despair and anguish of being stuck in a rut... The ramp up of conviction to do something about it... And then the climax of the battle and victory against his plight. After seeing this you wonder how it could ever have been done differently". Also the brilliance of Eminem's lyrics- the first two verses were (he/his....) and then when the final verse it is all (I ....). Kasey has lived that life.
And let's not forget the band. What a fantastic job they did including Kasey's dad on slide guitar. Loved the guitar and harmony vocals and of course the drummer. Also the sound engineers did a fantastic job so hats off to them too. Awesome mixing.
Welcome, Kimmy!!! One of our fav friends on UA-cam, @kittynakajima, lives in AUS and has given us the BEST suggestions. We love them!!! One of those was John Farnham. We've done a a couple Farnsie reactions when you have time: www.youtube.com/@musikbyjh/search?query=john
Casey started performing with her family in the Dead Ringer Band in 1994, and released her first solo album The Captain in 1999; Kasey's dad Bill Chambers also has a solo country career, and tours with his daughter. The other members of the Dead Ringer Band are Karen's mother Diane and her brother Nash. Another up and coming country artist, Beccy Cold provided rhythm guitar, lead and vocals; also occasional drums.
That's her dad Bill on slide guitar. She's a big Em fan & did this 'rejig' during covid. Also she has lived the lyrics with her career & she brings that emotion so beautifully & powerfully here. ♥️ It's early in the morning here in Australia so expect comments to flow in later on. ✌️❤️🇦🇺
@@CarlD70no that's not Nash, it's Brandon Dodd on the lead guitar, and I think it's Josh Dufficy on the drums... they are/were both members of Grizzlee Train before joining Kasey. 😊 🙃🐨🇦🇺 🙃🐨🇦🇺
She is (or was when recording this) a 45 year old mother of three who's been on the road and recording with the family band since she was young (that's her dad on slide guitar). She's lived the life in the song, she's an Australian Hall of Fame member in her own right, and she feels the lyrics hard - she's a massive Eminem fan as well and came up with the arrangement in lockdown; while it's now a live staple for her, this was one of the first tryouts with a audience which is why they're so blown away
Personally I have been spreading this video and requesting it from every reactor I watch (100's). This here needs to be seen by everyone. Thanks Jeremy and Jillian, happy you got to experience this Epic masterpiece. 😍😍
Wow, thank you for the nice compliment, Carl!!! We LOVED Kasey's cover...honestly, it's probably the best cover of any song we've ever heard. Seriously...surprisingly SHOCKED at how good this was!! Thanks for being here, Carl!!
Hi Carl, You and I are on similar campaigns. We need to team up. I donated for this one and know of another big one coming up from one of the vocal coaches.
In my opinion it’s the greatest cover I’ve ever seen. I wish I could watch it for the first time again. What a damn ride she takes us on. And she kept the Em cadence for the most part, just slower. It’s simply incredible.
Very good and important statement at the beginning about cellphone filming. So many people feel the need to capture absolutely everything today, while they forget to actually *experience* something, be *in the moment, enjoy it* . And besides that ... Most of these people film vertically ... which is stupid, since it never captures the whole stage. Vertical filming cuts off A LOT left and right. And yes, i know what Instagram and TikTok are. What Kasey Chambers did there with that iconic song was nothing short of phenomenal ! She took it, transformed it, made it her own in a completely different style, but still showed huge respect to the original songwriter. In my eyes and ears this is the BEST cover of ANY song i have EVER heard in my life of almost 56 years. She made a Monster of a performance !
We completely agree. Oh whoops, actually ,we've done "You're the Voice" (is that where Farnsie throws the mic stand?!). Wrong example, but 💯 agree with you on Kasey's cover being the best.
Raw unadulterated Brilliance! I was totally blown away when I first “experienced” this Phenomenal performance, amazing arrangement & pure to the emotional interpretation of Em’s masterpiece - just legendary!! Em gave her his permission to release on Spotify, that says it all 👏👏👏 She is aged 46 at the time of this performance 2022. I’ve always been a fan of Kasey, she is a freakin amazing & talented musician, artist & woman. But this was next level genius & so personal for her. She has lived every second of this story. The performance wasn’t filmed, she put a post out after the show to fans present to please send in any footage, the compilation of which you see. The band killed it, matching & building with her energy brilliantly. Long time band member Brandon (I think 🤔) on guitar & the vocals that nurtured the momentum & her dad on slide guitar making it sing like a phoenix - all of them together made this one of the all time best live, for me a rebirth, not a cover, that I’ve ever heard, seen & felt….to my core. Top reaction - new subscriber from Tasmania Aus 👍🏻👏 Checked out your vids, went back a few months, would love to see you react to REN. Hi-Ren is where most begin their journey into the most amazing, mind blowing rabbit hole of the last 25 years years imo 🤞🙏❤️
Thanks for the great comment, @jorice5528!!! Fun fact: Jeremy started this reaction channel in part because of the "Hi Ren" song!!! Here's our REN playlist when you have time - there's over 30 reactions, I think! ua-cam.com/play/PLYrkTp-j9yamWja8215e_oeaCglzG7brl.html&si=f2gx7qnDBGe8CTEX
Thanks so much for your reaction with NO pauses so you could appreciate the complete performance. By the way, that's Kasey's dad shredding it on lap/steel guitar. Great reaction to a brilliant performance.
I saw Kasey in an interview about a decade ago. They asked her what music she listens to and she said she listens to a lot of different music and she loves Eminem. I think you can tell she really appreciates the song. Kasey has been popular in Australia for decades for county/folk/pop music. She is a great storyteller, as you can tell from this performance
Your comment about it grabbing you. Yes, it grabs you and says you are going to feel waves of pain, sadness, and frustration, followed by rage at the unfairness of it all. Everything that Eminem was rapping about.
I loved your reaction! I have never seen a live performance that filled me with as much emotion as Kasey gave me here. She is such a passionate performer, she leaves her all on the stage each time she steps out.
haven't heard her in quite awhile. loved songs back-in-the-day like CAPTAIN, BARRICADES & BRICK WALLS, NOT PRETTY ENOUGH, RUNAWAY TRAIN, etc. loved that she did some work with Buddy & Julie Miller.
The crowd was asked to stay quietish beecause they were recording. We arn't normaly this un- responsive. Thats her Dad on the lap steel. Em gave her the clearance to post it on spotify.
Loved watching your reaction. She's an amazing artist. So many great songs to chose from but I think you should start with "The Captain". She definitely made this her own. That performance was A+ in my book. I still get goosebumps when I listen to it.
She puts the emotion into the song that’s in the lyrics. The first part on paper seems very sad. Then she builds it into almost like a rock anthem! Love love love it
There was no professional video recording of this life performance so, without those cell phones, this piece of magnificent artistry would not have happened. Please understand and be fair.
Thanks for watching, Lyn!! Hopefully you saw the commentary at the end, we are 100% appreciative of the cell phones for this performance. I think Jeremy has a particular sensitivity having been the one on stage with all the phones in his face. We love the performance and appreciate your feedback!
Kasey just leaves out there - every single time - she is a live monster. Check out 'Ain't no Little Girl' - live at the Bluegrass Underground - to get a taste of her own writing and power. She's one of a kind.
check out "Kasey Chambers - Full Session - 7/7/2017 - Paste Studios - New York, NY" on UA-cam - acoustic, honest & raw, beautifully recorded. The songs are also listed individually on that channel as well.
Great reaction guys, thanks. Read a lot about this after researching to see what Kasey's inspiration was behind the performance. Turns out she's long been an Eminem fan and always wanted to do this track. Covid lock-downs provided the opportunity for her to produce what you just watched. I've seen in hundreds of times now I reckon and it never gets old.
Around the time this came out for Eminem Kasey had a song "Not Pretty Enough" about her struggle as alt country to get airplay. You might like to try her "Ain't no Little Girl", either the music video or live. Kasey grew up with her family band but they were also rabbit and fox hunters on the Nullarbor Plain [think Arizona desert] and it was I suppose like the American Country singers who grew up hard and/or different like Dolly or Loretta. They come with emotions ready to lay out for the audience - and Kasey leaves it all on stage. Thanks for your thoughtful reviews.
I really liked your reactions. It is great to see professionals appreciating a great artist. Calling this a cover is downplaying it. It is so much more than a copy or adaption. This is a reimagining of an already great piece. Kasey is known as an Australian pop/country artist and has received many accolades. She started in the biz as a 10 yo with the family band. Dad still plays in band with her and is playing the slide steel guitar on stage here. I expect you will get better background on Kasey from fans. Through known for her country/folk work she does cross genres and this performance really puts a spotlight on her versatility. There are a couple of UA-cam vids of her in the USA a few years ago. One doing a White Stripes cover is good.
Thank you for the kind comment. We agree about the "cover" terminology, and didn't know better at the time of publishing. This was a gorgeous transformation - prob one of the best we've ever heard ! Hope to see you back soon. ❤️🥷
So, so good! I've seen other reactors react to this--but hadn't watched it yet. I know some of her earlier, much more folk type work, but this is new to me. Amazing!!! ❤🎶
G’Day, Our Kasey is one our most treasured artists. Awesome performer songwriter vocalist (Aussie version of Stevie Nicks) her Dad on slide guitar cool eh! She’s done a great job with Eminem’s awesome song and lyrics. Cheers😅
Yes, she has a Twang in her voice. It's an Aussie Twang! 🤣 So - Ya'll stepped into a Kasey Concert Huh!? Kasey definitely isn't 'new'. She's an Aussie Singer / Songwriter Legend, who, over the last couple of decades has won just about every Music Award here that there is. Nor can she be classified as 'Country', as she transitions and blends multiple genres - as you experienced; so skillfully, that you just don't bother wasting time trying to tease out specific genre 'threads' and just go; " It's Wonderful!". " It's Kasey!" The rest of the world has been missing out - guess they're catching up now! 😃👋👋👋( Hi from Tasmania }
Yessss try Captain or I ain't a little girl I am from Australia and am so surprised at your awesome reaction and am realy glad they had their cell phones out lol ❤😂
Well thank you for the nice compliment!!! In this scenario, we are with you on the phones...otherwise we'd miss this epic performance. Great to meet you!
Hi I watch this song. To see the reactions from you’s you’re reactions are always priceless the look on all your faces fantastic also the gentlemen in the hat playing the lap steel is her father. I thought you might like to know that.
One of the best 'reactions' I've seen guys. Thanks for your analysis and respect you have shown for one of Australia's best/ There is a performance she did while touring the USA called "Ain't No Little Girl" where she is overwhelmed by the response from the audience. Here is a link. ua-cam.com/video/OeWzXIkA8Rg/v-deo.html Waiving from Australia
Welcome and thank you so much for watching, your sweet comment, and the link!! I've seen so many versions of "Ain't No Little Girl", and this helps point us in the right direction. Hope to see you again soon, thanks again!
@@musikbyjh Thanks for the reply. Yes 'live' is what I like too. However I must say that her official video is also excellent. She is an amazing artist who was given a hard time by the music industry especially the radio stations who refused to play her music...until she wrote "Am I Not Pretty Enough" and it went viral lol...
The slide is her dad!! Love the reactions! She owned this song, and I didn’t know anyone could to that to THIS song in THIS way! Thank you both! Blessings 🙏🏻💖🪶🎵🤍🐺
I normally hate the sound of steel guitar in country and western music, but in a lot of moody Bluegrass it just sounds and feels so different. The lap steel here is played by Bill Chambers, Kasey's dad, and he makes it wail and moan like a fkn banshee. Years ago a friend showed me a vid she took at a studio session. it was about 10 minutes of Bill and Kasey just having fun, dueling lap steels, and it was mind blowing.
Kasey Chambers is an Australian legend (youngest person to be entered into the Australian Music Hall of Fame) who has been beloved but ignored by radio and was shunned by Sony. She's been performing in her father's band since she was 12 years old (her brother is backing vocals and her dad is on the steel guitar on stage here). She had some pop hits in the 90s but her heart and soul is Country in her own style. She wanted to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this song because she loves Eminem, and she had the time to rearrange and compose this masterpiece during lockdown. She is showing so much emotion because she has lived this to a degree as well. She is now 45 years old and a mother of three. This recording is the first time it was ever performed live and was done at the end of the concert. They thought it went well, so they used the recording from the sound desk and asked their fans who were in attendance to provide any footage they had to composite this one together. While there has been no public approval from Em, she has been allowed to put this song up on Spotify without challenge.
aussie folk music has some pretty heavy rock elements to it ,check out a song by aussie folk band Weddings Parties Anything called A tale they won't believe , fokesy rock with a piano accordian .
Kasey is an Australian country singer-songwriter from Mount Gambier, in the lower south-east of South Australia. Five of her studio albums have reached No.1 on the ARIA Albums Chart. In 2018 she was inducted into the ARIA(Australian Recording Industry Association) Hall of Fame.
Kasey is an Australian leg. Respected and loved, and a country music hall of famer. She Has a 20 son…. And she is no new talent. She is in fact 47. PS. that was her dad on slide guitar 😊.
That was fire right? Kasey is from a musical family out of Australia. Kasey was in the family band until late 90s, when she went solo as a Country artist.
I would love to see you react to some Eminem songs. A couple to get you started would be …. Sing for the moment, Cleaning out my closet Castle and Arose. It’s two songs but must be listened to together in that order and listen to very end ❤❤
Yes it's a stunning cover. The video was indeed stitched from fan footage after Casey asked if anyone had filmed it.Eminem gave her permission to release it as he was impressed.

The best cover of any song, anytime, anywhere. The genius of Em's lyrics taken to another level of emotion by Kasey Chambers.
Em does a fairly good job of covering Kasey's song!!!
LOL! Right?!
Kasey presented this performance as her life in song - as a journey. It starts with the soft plead of uncertainty highlighting a lack of confidence. Then the mood all changed to a cry of anguish and determination. Finally, after all the hard work comes tremendous acclamation and success.

Kasey is a country-pop artist; she does not have a heavy southern "twang" because she's from Australia.

Couldn't agree more!
Syd is my favourite drummer ever. I've been watching him play for about 25 years!
Agree the drumming was brilliant. But then so were the rest of the band. They all brought their A game to their performance

Who knew the greatest hip hop song ever in the world sounded so good in rock/country it fit perfect. Loved the reaction ❤❤❤
Right, Marie?!?! We were SHOCKED and completely unprepared for how incredible this was. What a HAPPY surprise!!!!
Personally I have been spreading this video and requesting it from every reactor I watch (100's). This here needs to be seen by everyone. Thanks Jeremy and Jillian, happy you got to experience this Epic masterpiece. 😍😍
Wow, thank you for the nice compliment, Carl!!! We LOVED Kasey's cover...honestly, it's probably the best cover of any song we've ever heard. Seriously...surprisingly SHOCKED at how good this was!! Thanks for being here, Carl!!
Keeps doing the lords work👊
I have been trying to do likewise.
It’s always a good day when there is a new reaction to this masterpiece
Hi Carl, You and I are on similar campaigns. We need to team up. I donated for this one and know of another big one coming up from one of the vocal coaches.
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how you do a cover 👏👏👏.
I highly recommend checking out Kasey's song Ain't no little girl.
Will do, Lynn! Lots of people recommending this song. Thank you! We added to the list!
In my opinion it’s the greatest cover I’ve ever seen. I wish I could watch it for the first time again. What a damn ride she takes us on. And she kept the Em cadence for the most part, just slower. It’s simply incredible.
We completely agree!! 100%!
Hard to thank all the peoples with the cell phones out until you pull your foot out ❤ u guys
Very good and important statement at the beginning about cellphone filming. So many people feel the need to capture absolutely everything today,
while they forget to actually *experience* something, be *in the moment, enjoy it* . And besides that ... Most of these people film vertically ... which is stupid,
since it never captures the whole stage. Vertical filming cuts off A LOT left and right. And yes, i know what Instagram and TikTok are.
What Kasey Chambers did there with that iconic song was nothing short of phenomenal !
She took it, transformed it, made it her own in a completely different style, but still showed huge respect to the original songwriter.
In my eyes and ears this is the BEST cover of ANY song i have EVER heard in my life of almost 56 years. She made a Monster of a performance !
Thanks for the encouragement - clearly, cell phones at performances are a pet peeve of not just ours! We agree- best cover PERIOD!!
I thought John Farnham's "Help" was the best cover ever. I'm not so sure anymore.
We completely agree. Oh whoops, actually ,we've done "You're the Voice" (is that where Farnsie throws the mic stand?!). Wrong example, but 💯 agree with you on Kasey's cover being the best.
Raw unadulterated Brilliance! I was totally blown away when I first “experienced” this Phenomenal performance, amazing arrangement & pure to the emotional interpretation of Em’s masterpiece - just legendary!!
Em gave her his permission to release on Spotify, that says it all 👏👏👏 She is aged 46 at the time of this performance 2022. I’ve always been a fan of Kasey, she is a freakin amazing & talented musician, artist & woman. But this was next level genius & so personal for her. She has lived every second of this story. The performance wasn’t filmed, she put a post out after the show to fans present to please send in any footage, the compilation of which you see. The band killed it, matching & building with her energy brilliantly. Long time band member Brandon (I think 🤔) on guitar & the vocals that nurtured the momentum & her dad on slide guitar making it sing like a phoenix - all of them together made this one of the all time best live, for me a rebirth, not a cover, that I’ve ever heard, seen & felt….to my core.
Top reaction - new subscriber from Tasmania Aus 👍🏻👏
Checked out your vids, went back a few months, would love to see you react to REN. Hi-Ren is where most begin their journey into the most amazing, mind blowing rabbit hole of the last 25 years years imo 🤞🙏❤️
Thanks for the great comment, @jorice5528!!! Fun fact: Jeremy started this reaction channel in part because of the "Hi Ren" song!!! Here's our REN playlist when you have time - there's over 30 reactions, I think! ua-cam.com/play/PLYrkTp-j9yamWja8215e_oeaCglzG7brl.html&si=f2gx7qnDBGe8CTEX
You guys should also check out " Aint no little girl " by her as well...
Takes your breath away doesn’t it 😂👏👏👏
Thanks so much for your reaction with NO pauses so you could appreciate the complete performance. By the way, that's Kasey's dad shredding it on lap/steel guitar. Great reaction to a brilliant performance.
Thank you so much for watching and the thoughtful comment, Noel! We keep trying!
I saw Kasey in an interview about a decade ago. They asked her what music she listens to and she said she listens to a lot of different music and she loves Eminem. I think you can tell she really appreciates the song. Kasey has been popular in Australia for decades for county/folk/pop music. She is a great storyteller, as you can tell from this performance
Hi from Adelaide Australia, 🦘 I love her respect for Eminem.
Hey Shaun, good morning to you!!
Kasey was an Aussie LEGEND in music before this! But this cemented her in immortality
Love the stunned silence😮
Great reaction.
Thank you 😁
Your comment about it grabbing you. Yes, it grabs you and says you are going to feel waves of pain, sadness, and frustration, followed by rage at the unfairness of it all. Everything that Eminem was rapping about.
I think Kasey brings a definite, relatable feminine energy to Eminem's amazing lyrics. She read this one right.
I loved your reaction! I have never seen a live performance that filled me with as much emotion as Kasey gave me here. She is such a passionate performer, she leaves her all on the stage each time she steps out.
haven't heard her in quite awhile. loved songs back-in-the-day like CAPTAIN, BARRICADES & BRICK WALLS, NOT PRETTY ENOUGH, RUNAWAY TRAIN, etc. loved that she did some work with Buddy & Julie Miller.
The crowd was asked to stay quietish beecause they were recording. We arn't normaly this un- responsive. Thats her Dad on the lap steel. Em gave her the clearance to post it on spotify.
LOVE these tidbits of info. Thank you so much, Kerry!
That's her dad on the slide, he's been in the business forever,so is her mom and brother.
Next time you watch this, tear your eyes away from Kasey for a second or two and check out the guy on the keyboard.
Loved watching your reaction. She's an amazing artist. So many great songs to chose from but I think you should start with "The Captain". She definitely made this her own. That performance was A+ in my book. I still get goosebumps when I listen to it.
Thanks so much for watching and the nice comment!! We'll add "The Captain" to our list, appreciate the suggestion!
@@musikbyjh you might recognise The Captain if you watched the Sopranos.
She puts the emotion into the song that’s in the lyrics. The first part on paper seems very sad. Then she builds it into almost like a rock anthem! Love love love it
Exact way we felt the song developed. Such a POWER house Kasey is...WOW!!!
FYI, the guy on the slide guitar is Kasey's dad.
There was no professional video recording of this life performance so, without those cell phones, this piece of magnificent artistry would not have happened. Please understand and be fair.
Thanks for watching, Lyn!! Hopefully you saw the commentary at the end, we are 100% appreciative of the cell phones for this performance. I think Jeremy has a particular sensitivity having been the one on stage with all the phones in his face. We love the performance and appreciate your feedback!
Kasey just leaves out there - every single time - she is a live monster.
Check out 'Ain't no Little Girl' - live at the Bluegrass Underground - to get a taste of her own writing and power.
She's one of a kind.
Will do, Mals. Thank you before being here!
check out "Kasey Chambers - Full Session - 7/7/2017 - Paste Studios - New York, NY" on UA-cam - acoustic, honest & raw, beautifully recorded. The songs are also listed individually on that channel as well.
Thanks for the great suggestions, Linn!
Great reaction guys, thanks.
Read a lot about this after researching to see what Kasey's inspiration was behind the performance. Turns out she's long been an Eminem fan and always wanted to do this track. Covid lock-downs provided the opportunity for her to produce what you just watched. I've seen in hundreds of times now I reckon and it never gets old.
Excellent info - thanks so much for sharing with us. We are starting from scratch with Kasey!
Around the time this came out for Eminem Kasey had a song "Not Pretty Enough" about her struggle as alt country to get airplay. You might like to try her "Ain't no Little Girl", either the music video or live. Kasey grew up with her family band but they were also rabbit and fox hunters on the Nullarbor Plain [think Arizona desert] and it was I suppose like the American Country singers who grew up hard and/or different like Dolly or Loretta. They come with emotions ready to lay out for the audience - and Kasey leaves it all on stage. Thanks for your thoughtful reviews.
Great background, thank you very much!!
Agree.
Thank you to everyone that sent in cellphone footage. They had the audio down but they needed the visuals. We are lucky to have her.
I really liked your reactions. It is great to see professionals appreciating a great artist.
Calling this a cover is downplaying it.
It is so much more than a copy or adaption. This is a reimagining of an already great piece.
Kasey is known as an Australian pop/country artist and has received many accolades. She started in the biz as a 10 yo with the family band. Dad still plays in band with her and is playing the slide steel guitar on stage here.
I expect you will get better background on Kasey from fans. Through known for her country/folk work she does cross genres and this performance really puts a spotlight on her versatility.
There are a couple of UA-cam vids of her in the USA a few years ago. One doing a White Stripes cover is good.
Thank you for the kind comment. We agree about the "cover" terminology, and didn't know better at the time of publishing. This was a gorgeous transformation - prob one of the best we've ever heard ! Hope to see you back soon. ❤️🥷
So, so good! I've seen other reactors react to this--but hadn't watched it yet. I know some of her earlier, much more folk type work, but this is new to me. Amazing!!! ❤🎶
Great Reaction. Google Australian 60 Minutes - Kasey Chambers to learn a little of how she actually came to be who she is.
Thanks, Tony! We will...great suggestion.
G’Day, Our Kasey is one our most treasured artists. Awesome performer songwriter vocalist (Aussie version of Stevie Nicks) her Dad on slide guitar cool eh! She’s done a great job with Eminem’s awesome song and lyrics.
Cheers😅
From Emmy Lou Harris to Pink Floyd in 8 minutes
Excellent analogy!!!!
Pure talent
Yes, she has a Twang in her voice. It's an Aussie Twang! 🤣 So - Ya'll stepped into a Kasey Concert Huh!? Kasey definitely isn't 'new'. She's an Aussie Singer / Songwriter Legend, who, over the last couple of decades has won just about every Music Award here that there is. Nor can she be classified as 'Country', as she transitions and blends multiple genres - as you experienced; so skillfully, that you just don't bother wasting time trying to tease out specific genre 'threads' and just go; " It's Wonderful!". " It's Kasey!" The rest of the world has been missing out - guess they're catching up now! 😃👋👋👋( Hi from Tasmania }
fucking EPIC. Your faces though 😆I'M SO GALD you two reacted to this😍
Sooo good!! Hey LouAnn!! 🥰
Now, I am Australian, I know who Kasey Chambers is.... However, I did not know that she could do that!!
Yessss try Captain or I ain't a little girl I am from Australia and am so surprised at your awesome reaction and am realy glad they had their cell phones out lol ❤😂
Well thank you for the nice compliment!!! In this scenario, we are with you on the phones...otherwise we'd miss this epic performance. Great to meet you!
Hi I watch this song. To see the reactions from you’s you’re reactions are always priceless the look on all your faces fantastic also the gentlemen in the hat playing the lap steel is her father. I thought you might like to know that.
Thank you so much for the nice compliment and helpful info about Kasey's father joining. Excellent info and we appreciate you!
One of the best 'reactions' I've seen guys. Thanks for your analysis and respect you have shown for one of Australia's best/ There is a performance she did while touring the USA called "Ain't No Little Girl" where she is overwhelmed by the response from the audience. Here is a link. ua-cam.com/video/OeWzXIkA8Rg/v-deo.html Waiving from Australia
Welcome and thank you so much for watching, your sweet comment, and the link!! I've seen so many versions of "Ain't No Little Girl", and this helps point us in the right direction. Hope to see you again soon, thanks again!
@@musikbyjh Thanks for the reply. Yes 'live' is what I like too. However I must say that her official video is also excellent. She is an amazing artist who was given a hard time by the music industry especially the radio stations who refused to play her music...until she wrote "Am I Not Pretty Enough" and it went viral lol...
Another genius tribute is "High hopes - Pink Floyd" by Nightwish.
She also covers time after time by Cindy lauper
aussie musical talant. Tjere's plenty more around if you look.
Great reaction. Loved and subbed. Oh, I play blues harp and pool if you ever want to jam.
Oh, I've been waiting for y'all to get to this. It's something else, isn't it?
Unreal!!! Best cover we've ever heard. 100%!
Thank you to all the people that filmed and supplied the phone vision so we could see this
The slide is her dad!! Love the reactions! She owned this song, and I didn’t know anyone could to that to THIS song in THIS way! Thank you both! Blessings 🙏🏻💖🪶🎵🤍🐺
Would like to see your reaction to Australian rapper 360 and his song 'Tiny angel'
The slide guitarist is her Father!!🙏🏽💖🫶🏽🫶🏽
Austria is "AUT". Nice reaction btw.
I normally hate the sound of steel guitar in country and western music, but in a lot of moody Bluegrass it just sounds and feels so different. The lap steel here is played by Bill Chambers, Kasey's dad, and he makes it wail and moan like a fkn banshee.
Years ago a friend showed me a vid she took at a studio session. it was about 10 minutes of Bill and Kasey just having fun, dueling lap steels, and it was mind blowing.
ITS ALL LIVE!!🇭🇲
Casey showed the masterful story telling and transformed it into an emotional experience.
Kasey Chambers is an Australian legend (youngest person to be entered into the Australian Music Hall of Fame) who has been beloved but ignored by radio and was shunned by Sony. She's been performing in her father's band since she was 12 years old (her brother is backing vocals and her dad is on the steel guitar on stage here). She had some pop hits in the 90s but her heart and soul is Country in her own style.
She wanted to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this song because she loves Eminem, and she had the time to rearrange and compose this masterpiece during lockdown. She is showing so much emotion because she has lived this to a degree as well. She is now 45 years old and a mother of three.
This recording is the first time it was ever performed live and was done at the end of the concert. They thought it went well, so they used the recording from the sound desk and asked their fans who were in attendance to provide any footage they had to composite this one together. While there has been no public approval from Em, she has been allowed to put this song up on Spotify without challenge.
The man on the slide guitar is Kasey Chambers Dad.
aussie folk music has some pretty heavy rock elements to it ,check out a song by aussie folk band Weddings Parties Anything called A tale they won't believe , fokesy rock with a piano accordian .
Kasey is an Australian country singer-songwriter from Mount Gambier, in the lower south-east of South Australia. Five of her studio albums have reached No.1 on the ARIA Albums Chart. In 2018 she was inducted into the ARIA(Australian Recording Industry Association) Hall of Fame.
Lol who is getting a 500$ phone. Most phones are 1200- 1800$
The bloke on the slide is her father father Bill Chambers. An Aussie country music legend in his own right
The guy on the slide guitar is her Dad who performs as "Uncle Bill" in the blue grass scene in Australia
Kasey is an Australian leg. Respected and loved, and a country music hall of famer. She Has a 20 son…. And she is no new talent. She is in fact 47. PS. that was her dad on slide guitar 😊.
AT is the standard abbreviation for Austria
Wehehehehelllllll, I think you may need to reassess that mobile phone thingy !!!
That was fire right? Kasey is from a musical family out of Australia. Kasey was in the family band until late 90s, when she went solo as a Country artist.
What happens when you are locked in a cage. { covid lock downs}
There are lots of great live videos of Kasey. I'd encourage you to check some more out. She's got a great sense of humor and is very down to earth.
I would love to see you react to some Eminem songs.
A couple to get you started would be ….
Sing for the moment,
Cleaning out my closet
Castle and Arose. It’s two songs but must be listened to together in that order and listen to very end ❤❤
Yes it's a stunning cover. The video was indeed stitched from fan footage after Casey asked if anyone had filmed it.Eminem gave her permission to release it as he was impressed.
Australian country does not have a twang in it. It is more folk than the american version.
Austria are you kidding?
I'm with you , how can you enjoy something when Ur trying to video the show
Based on your intelligent and down to earth reaction, I’m subscribing. Love from Australia xxx
Wow, thank you Laraine. Welcome!!!
