This is hands down, my favorite cover ever. George Jones is my favorite country singer of all-time. 'The Grand Tour' is my favorite George Jones song. This version is even better. My God, just stunning.
The guitar part is equally as great as the vocal. He’s doing some clean lines almost as if he is accompanying someone else and not having to focus on singing. Tough to pull off especially on a ballad with a lot of empty space to fill. Bravo.
Well, I do not know how I did not find this artist prior to 2021. But this is an amazing cover. He has the twang of Jones and the grunt of Eric Church. Well done sir. Well done. Hope you're still at it.
Good as gets trying to nail the essence of this classic gem. Great playing, bit of side mouth sneer-- when you think about it--can't really do this song justice w/out a bit of contempt. Worthy of repeat viewings. Like that tech 21 amp too. Inspired
Fantastic job! You nearly made my cry, dude! I have to disagree with you, though. This is the 2nd saddest song ever. George's "He Stopped Loving Her Today" tops the list.
I'm speaking with all due respect here when I say keep working at it.... Right now without sugar coating anything , you have just chopped then hell outta the second best country music artist that ever lived.....
Dude, I've been trying to emulate George's voice and it's damn near impossible. You did a fantastic job on this!!! Come through Austin and I'll be there!!!
+weeno derp and for anyone else I am going to try and tab this out before this weekend is up and put it on ultimate-guitar.com or something I will let you know.
Great work man! You def have an Eric Church/Gary Alan type voice. Would love to hear you cover their songs. You may already have, Google just didn't pull it up. Either way, excellent work. Keep it up! Sounds great!
It's hard to do a cover that a legend has done elvis.no one can do his covers and do good in my opinion.however this fellow did a great job with his great voice.!goerge is in my opinion the king of country!and not far behind is David Allen coe.i like how he does different voices. R.i.p goerge !not only was he a legend he loved the coolest cars . Corvettes!
It's a cover my brother. Not an imitation.. .. I think you might enjoy it more if you looked at it in those terms... But I respect your opinion... Your right he doesn't sound like George
Wonderful. Just wonderful.
Wow... When my mom said that her cousin Robert was a musical artist, I didn't think he would be so talented!
I was workiing at a bar and heard him live. WOW... I was an instant fan. I stopped working just to listen and watch his show. truly amazing.
Wow, not only the voice, but what he's doing with that guitar.
This is hands down, my favorite cover ever. George Jones is my favorite country singer of all-time. 'The Grand Tour' is my favorite George Jones song. This version is even better. My God, just stunning.
This version is better?
as a 32 year old massive fan of Mr. Jones... you make this amazing. Thank you.
The guitar part is equally as great as the vocal. He’s doing some clean lines almost as if he is accompanying someone else and not having to focus on singing. Tough to pull off especially on a ballad with a lot of empty space to fill. Bravo.
Now that IS country music. Wonderful job!
That song, that voice and that guitar = 👏👏❤️👏👏
You did an amazing job 💯🙏🏼
Robert can sing from the heart.good country music artist.
Amazing! Did it justice! Much respect..
This blew my mind. What a voice!! And love the simple but CLEAN guitar pickin. Keep it up man. I'm already a fan.
Good stuff!
Wow! I hope to see you live one day. Phenomenal.
I miss you bro You should come home to see your brother and family and love the song
This is an exquisitely sad rendition of, as you said, perhaps the saddest song ever. We miss you here in H-Town - but wish you grand success.
Your passion for this song truly bleeds.
Played roller hockey with this dude when we were like 12 lol. Awesome musician that came from a small town

Bruh you're a bad man . Very chilling and well done

Well, I do not know how I did not find this artist prior to 2021. But this is an amazing cover. He has the twang of Jones and the grunt of Eric Church. Well done sir. Well done. Hope you're still at it.
There are quite a few albums out there - latest was “Texas Piano Man” where he switches from guitar to keys and just kills. Go get it!
I'm at a loss for words. This is so powerful and well done!
Amazing!!!
Absolutely the best version I have heard by far!!
Your singing and playing is the best brother!!
Great job!!
Just great. Will come see you in NZ when you down here.
I'm a big fan of George Jones, and to be honest You did an amazing performance on the Grand Tour !!!!

Like this? Me too. Check out Robert Ellis as the Texas Piano Man. It brought me here.
This guy aces this great song , covering a George Jones song is no easy task either.
Sounds like Willie Nelson and George Jones had a jam session! Very nice
great rendition of it,it is a sad song, but that what he done best was sad n beer drinkin songs,thanks for posting
Liking the guitar skills!
Fab job.
Fantastic job! You nearly made my cry, dude! I have to disagree with you, though. This is the 2nd saddest song ever. George's "He Stopped Loving Her Today" tops the list.
A BIG THUMBS UP 👍

Excellent job!
Great voice and guitar playing! A little Willie influence on guitar.
this is beautiful...*takes a tissue and wipes tear from her eye*...how do you do it?
Great Job..
I'm speaking with all due respect here when I say keep working at it.... Right now without sugar coating anything , you have just chopped then hell outta the second best country music artist that ever lived.....

Definitely SJ200
Nice!
Ya ain’t the Possum but that was damn good
Wow, and wee.
His voice reminds me of Jimmy Rose from American Idol.
❤❤

Rock that flat top ! ,👍
"I think this may be the saddest song ever written".
Ah huh.
Great voice and thumbs up but just one thing -- isn't it "our baby" and not "her baby" near the end?
New hipsters are better than old hipsters.
Not bad but loose some of that singing through your nose.
He need to step it up and but steel guitar in it
too much style not enough heart. dont be fooled people. there's nothing here
Post a video of you covering this song! Would love to hear it!
