Levi doesn't parody songs people think it's parody because they end up laughing like it's a joke but really it's impressions of famous older musicians doing more modern pop songs weird Al changes the lyrics Levi just takes two different kinds of music and people laugh because it's humourous
If anyone doesn't think the legends would do this, they haven't heard the story of how Johnny Cash came to sing hurt. This is basically the same thing he did. Love your stuff dude
“I wasn’t prepared for what I saw, and it really then, wasn’t my song anymore.” -Trent Reznor Some artists like the Eagles pucker up something fierce when anyone performs their music. I don't get that mentality. I once read a quote that stated, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." When you write a song that is so touching to someone else, where it hits deep enough in their soul to warrant them singing it for others, that's beastly. That's also how music grows and keeps the older stuff alive. When another artist or group can reinvent someone else's song, it really kind of creates a legacy. I grew up surrounded by music, went to college as a music major, and now my favorite thing to listen to is covers of songs instead of the original. I just discovered Levi on a radio show I listen to in the mornings and I feel like I hit the jackpot.
imitation/flattery... i was in the audience the first time i heard someone cover a tune of mine, they then introduced me... i am humbled still... make it your own, do things i hadnt thought of...like stated above, it stretches it, grows it....5 nites a week, 4 sets a nite, 4 months at a time you start messing with tunes... what if hank did cash etc
Never heard this radio show before I'm probably in the wrong region, but I really hope he comes back and does Jerry Reed singing shaggy. That was the first video I'd seen of Levi's and I literally have to keep watching it at this point. That in his cover of Robin Hood's Oo de Lally
This guy does a hell of a job with his impressions and singing! 😃 By the way, at 10:56, that white ring in the background looks like the buffering ring haha
His Cash impression is decent as far as sounding exactly like Cash, but the most impressive part of it is how he can intentionally go slightly off key even though he can clearly sing perfectly on key.
Levi Foster is talented & hilarious! I was laughing and suddenly realized why podcasts annoy me: Podcasts are like television was invented only to broadcast ... radio announcers in their studios. Boring watching guys talk into microphones. Glad I watched Levi, though.
1. He didn't really sound like Hank Jr., but nailed his guitar rhythm and that was a major indicator. 2. Excellent job on John Anderson. 3. Better than average on Elvis, but not great. 4. Pretty good on Johnny Cash. Went deeper than I expected, but excellent on the phrasing. He has a really good voice. Great tone and projection. Can do a lot of variety as seen in his impersonations. Wish he'd make a stab at being a real singer.
He did two songs on another TH-cam video that was a live podcast from Nashville. If you ain't Country I'll kiss your ass LOL. Thus names of the song were twelve Saturday's and a birthday and a song about Civil War Love Song amazing amazing Zone
@@berndtherrenvolk1951 you’re good just clarifying a bit. I thought he did a good impression of Hank Sr, but we all got our opinions, I agree with the others though.
Cash was decent, didn't catch much likeness to the others. I think Levi should just do his own thing and entertain us. He has some talent for sure. Thanks for video
You have to account for the audio quality here that key wasn't around in Daddy-Hank's time. All his classic recordings have been pretty low-fi by today's standards. He's got Hank's tone, gait and inflection. I feel the same way you do about his Hank with his Cash impression on this video, but he still caught the essence of Cash, and it was really good. (the video where he does Cash singing Wrecking Ball was SOOO much better imo, for the record)
Sounds good. But no where near the voice as the original artist. Not saying that to be mean. But everyone knows you can’t duplicate the original artist
I laughed my ass off with the Jon Anderson impression... this is great!
Stories tellers are hard to come by. He's also the weird Al of country music. Reminds me of the 70s.
Awesome comparison...

@@JA-no1qkhe should stick with Johnny Cash because that's his best impression
Wow Levi was fantastic. He has got it going on. So blessed. Loved his impressions. Great job Levi👍👍👍💅💅💅💅💅💅💅💅💅🤗🤗🌷🤗🌷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just love this guy. Anyone that can have a fun side and intertwine it with music is always alright in my book.
Dude, Levi should be a regular segment! Hilarious!
What you are really missing is his originals man. He’s a phenomenal songwriter and has some killer ones man.
Oh this is freaking amazing.
That Bad Romance song was too funny!
I haven't smiled this much in a long time. ❤
Just bloody brilliant. Love your song Brightleaf too. Really beautiful work.
This dude is brilliant, I love this!
Branson Missouri has been missing something for a while and I think this is something that belongs in the area
I agree. He’d be a hit out there
Wow!!! Amazing 👏
Great stuff! Made my morning!
Levi Foster u b 1 funny and great impressionist ! I could listen to u all day!!
He knocked John Anderson out of the park
That "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" cover was actually fucking good! It's better than bro country could ever be

So good!
'Only' 29k subscribers? You guys are so polished! Watching from the UK and subscribing. Looking forward to some great content.
I guess I just didn’t know most of them. I still like this. I wish all the songs could have been more well known.
Would love to hear him do a Spice Girl song.
I saw an impressionist at Hamner Theater in Branson. That man could switch artists 4 times during a song and not miss a note.
This is great, it's the country version of post modern jukebox.
Doing the John Anderson bit you just wait for I’m the black sheep of the family… to come out
Damn it! Now I got to dig out my John Anderson Greatest Hits CD.
Seminole wind
that guy is as musically talented as anyone out there
The Johnny Cash is amazing ... and fun. I could listen to those all day.
He is good. Someone needs to sign him on a record deal
I really want a iTunes version of Johnny cash bad romance
Wonderful singer
This guy is gifted 😂😂😂
Had to go watch some John Anderson music videos......
Levi and The Cleverly's ought to pair up c'mon! Great music and a lot of humor!
Very well done.
He is AWESOME!!!!
Waiting for an album
I AGREE!!!!!!
The John Anderson is great
Levi and Jeff Dunnam ❤.
He just made "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" a honky-tonk song!
Thought he might do Money in the bank with that John Anderson. Party in the U.S.AYY-AYYY-AYYY-AYYY-AYYYUH. Still excellent!
This guy does a hell of a job with his impressions and singing! 😃 By the way, at 10:56, that white ring in the background looks like the buffering ring haha
Ernest Tubb impressions would be cool
Cash doing Bad Romance was SO GOOD Holy cow
He is goood
His Cash impression is decent as far as sounding exactly like Cash, but the most impressive part of it is how he can intentionally go slightly off key even though he can clearly sing perfectly on key.
People are awesome

OMG!!! The John Anderson was spot on🤣
He sounds just like johnny Anderson
He's good😊
Phenomenal Johnny Cash!!
Ok. Beastie Boys in the style of Roger Miller!!! That's the one I'd love to see him do on the show.
GET JOHN ANDERSON TO WATCH THIS, SOMEBODY!
I need Levi doing the chorus of One Headlight by the Wallflowers as Elvis
All was good except for Elvis i give him a 5/10
Yep, mediocre at best
Fight For Your Right as sung by BJ Thomas. :)
1. He didn't really sound like Hank Jr., but nailed his guitar rhythm and that was a major indicator.

He was doing a Hank Sr Impression
@@Matthiaskyriakidis That was who I meant..
@@berndtherrenvolk1951 you’re good just clarifying a bit. I thought he did a good impression of Hank Sr, but we all got our opinions, I agree with the others though.
He sounds almost just like Luke Bryan when he talks y'all do a Luke Bryan song I do all those voices
Charley Pride: Fight for the right to party.
That would be epic
6:55 the way he channels Elvis. Ha!
Beastie boys fight for your right to party in the style of Keith Whitley would be awesome to hear...
Post Modern Juke Box goes country😂😊
Did not know big d and bubba had a youtube😂
Hows he so good
This would be better if he did songs I've heard of.
Rick Grimes before the walker apocalypse
I don't know who John Anderson is, but this sounds like an actor singing. But it still sounds "alright, alright, alright".
Prominent 80’s/90’s star. Seminole Wind was one of his most noteable songs.
"The pride of Apopka Florida"
I grew up hearing Anderson’s music in the 90’s. Straight Tequila Night” and “Mississippi Moon” are my favorites. This guy sounds just like him.
You never heard "Swingin" ? Although he had many better songs than that, it would become his trademark.
@@trooper1293 What about "Just a swangin"
Dude please suggest WAP by Cardi B... That will be a challenge but I guarantee that's some viral TikTok stuff.
Levi doing a bobby bare with van Halen song Jump
Talented guy. The Johnny Cash sounded more Colter Wall to me.
Cash was decent, didn't catch much likeness to the others. I think Levi should just do his own thing and entertain us. He has some talent for sure. Thanks for video
Laughing out loud!!!
Can you do Keith Whitley
Beastie Boys - Dierks Bentley?
Johnny Cash was classic
I wanna see if he can do George jones
Hw sounds more like John Anderson than John Anderson does!
Sorry but I do not hear Johnny Cash.
New to the chat....lol... anyone else realize he could do an awesome matthew mcconaughey
Doesn't sound much like Hank Sr to me
You have to account for the audio quality here that key wasn't around in Daddy-Hank's time. All his classic recordings have been pretty low-fi by today's standards. He's got Hank's tone, gait and inflection.

@@1SqueakyWheel lol no it wasn't, they all sucked ass, they all sounded the same, and nothing like the originals
Let’s do some rage against the machine and some Elvis lol or Conway
No way hank wrote that song
Yeah-huh!
He dont sound like he is trying to sing like
That sucked, I had secondhand embarrassment
Y'all made me sick man I've been riding music like that since the 70s Nashville don't wake gay they don't want to hear that kind of music
👎🏻
Sounds good. But no where near the voice as the original artist. Not saying that to be mean. But everyone knows you can’t duplicate the original artist
They're not trying to...
@@BrainMeltGaming lol yeah he is, that's literally an impression is, lol wtf?
Don’t give up your day job, that was terrible ☹️😖
Lol exactly, it's like how do they think this is actually good? They all just sound the same
He sounds like the artists, but he's nowhere close on the melody of the songs.
