- A tribute to one of the greatest to pick up a guitar and a pen! I realized my 12-string sounds very much like Gordon's and couldn't resist.

This guy is criminally underrated. The whole world should hear his music and Josh’s
Well said!
Gordon Lightfoot lived on my street when I was a kid. I knew his music and would say hello to him whenever I saw him. He was always nice to me. A real neighborly guy. It’s great to hear his songs again. Xxxxxxx
You've got some great Memories! I've loved his music since the 60's
I was lucky enough to catch Gordon live in Manchester uk in 2016. Songwriters songwriter. The song tattoo would be a great song to cover??
Very cool indeed.
My dad lived about an hour's drive south of Gordon's hometown for most of his adult life. When Gordon used to curl his hair in the '70s they looked so much alike that strangers would occasionally approach my dad asking for an autograph. The resemblance was so uncanny that I can't help but think of my dad in his early 50s whenever I see the Sundown album cover.
Rip Gordon
Carson, you have the best cover .
The way you sing do reflect Mr Lightfoot feeling .
Thank you
Gordon wrote some of the best music on the planet. Thank you Carson for sharing that with us.
Canada is very proud of him too!
You know it's a good morning when Carson McKee drops a tune on TH-cam.
And drops the E string to D.
Yeah! This guy males the originals better! fantastic!!
One eye cries, one eye smiles, one angle of my mouth goes up, one angle goes down , my heart pounds. You took me back some forty years.
Your music is a healing tool for all wounds.
My auntie used to sing this to us when I was a child. She was a folk singer in her day, but gave up to raise a family. I had forgotten this song until I stumbled on it, working my way through everything Carson McKee does. Wonderful voice.
As a Canadian this makes me so proud. I was fortunate enough to see Gordon Lightfoot just a few months before Covid hit here. This was a wonderful version 🇨🇦
I had this on in the background, so I didn’t see the “8 takes later” card come up. I just thought the TH-cam algorithm had taken me to a real Gordon Lightfoot recording. WOW! Carson, you sound just like him!!!
Exact same thing here. I thought it auto played an actual Gordon Lightfoot recording.
No one sounds like early Gordon except Gordon. Carson great in his own way
@@auricgoldfinger8478 I’m just saying I was confused and genuinely thought it was a different video; I thought it was ol’ Gordon himself. But yes, both men are titanic vocalists in their own distinct ways.
@@auricgoldfinger8478 yeah I think Gordon has a deeper tone of voice compared to Carson's. Though, with that said, I love both voices.
And then there's Colter Wall...
they don't make musicians like carson and josh anymore. My channel is highly inspired by this man. Every video is so refreshing and melodic. keep the solid content coming.
Thank you for doing this, grew up on Gordon Lightfoot. Annual spring break concerts at Toronto's old Massey Hall. Yes sounds like his 12 string.
Thanks for sharing a bit of Gord’s Gold. That is a song I listened to often way back in the day.
Ode to one of the best, Gordon. RIP
Cover was fantastic. Impression at the end was spot on! "The f*@king sun always shines." LOL
As a canadian, this makes me so happy
Me too
Yup, Canadian approved.
Love your rendition of Gordon Lightfoot’s song. You have great sounding voice and your 12 string playing was excellent to my ears.👍👍🇨🇦
Memories of times gone by ---- Eight takes later was a lot more Gord -- LOVED IT !!!!!
The sound of that 12-string guitar is wonderful, your voice too, obviously! Amazing cover! :)
Amazing Carson love Gordon lightfoot he was recommended to me by a friend who's Canadian I'm Irish myself love his music hehe moment I heard it you did that song justice fantastic now can we have sundown please 🙂thank you👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The Railroad Trilogy!!!
Yes yes yes Carson. I’ve been willing this cover in my head for a while. Perfectly executed 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Haven’t heard that song in about 50 years, wonderful arrangement, and a good fit for your voice. Thanks.
Amazing you kept the 12 string in tune long enough to record this. Fab as always.
Same thought: 12 strings in tune ... and also the long tones of the voice ... in tune!
Love how you use your voice as an instrument. Great job and good work.
It would be impossible for me to choose whose music I love more - Gordon Lightfoot or Ian Tyson. So I won’t choose, I will just enjoy them both. Thanks for this.
This was such a nice thing to wake up to. I've even got the early morning rain shower outside to match!
Mmmmm... Smooth as always, I almost don't need that first sip of coffee this morning.
And I loved the outtake. Carson, your talents are immense, and while we all love that you make a song your own, in your own voice - one of those many enjoyable talents is your ability to sing in the voice of the original artist as well. Dylan Cash, Lightfoot... incredible!
❤️❤️❤️❤️. Doing Justice to the great Gordon Lighthouse!
thanks so much for sharing. it`s truly appreciated
Carson, that was beautiful 🤩
Thank You
What a nice surprise to wake up and find this waiting for me! Beautiful tribute.
PP and M did this too. I've their CD 🥰
One of my faves. Love your talent Carson. Sounds delightful. I didn't sleep at all so I needed this. 🤗💯 Edit. I guess he wrote this and they covered it. :) That was the ultimate compliment. To have your song covered.
Your 12 does indeed sound like Gordon's. I saw him play and sing this several times. Very nice job Carson. Gordon would approve!
Like many folks I love the Peter Paul and Mary version with the minor chords added in. It's a very different song played that way. But not as many people cover it the way that Gordon wrote and played it which is still a beautiful song. You do a great job covering it and this version works so well with a 12-string guitar. Thanks again for a lovely rendition of yet another wonderful song.
Love your Gordie impression. When Sundown was released in '74 my dad was the spitting image of the guy on the album cover and he could nail the vocal impression too. This song is one of my favorites at the karaoke bar.
I never tire of Lightfoot, and you more than do it justice. Excellent!
Would like to see Carson perform (with Josh on electric) "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Wonderful! One of you best solos yet.
I like everything you post Carson. But this is my favorite. Thanks for all you are giving us in these difficult days.
Absolutely fabulous! Such an inspiration to every aspiring musician - Keep it up Carson!
Fabulous Carson! A great one to cover. Love the outtake as well and the 12-string sounded marvelous.
Lovely. Thank you.
You nailed this. Love your voice!
Love Gordon Lightfoot’s music - you do it justice - beautiful interpretation. Fantastic!
Absolutely beautiful rendition
Thoroughly enjoyed, you made my evening 👍👍
Really wonderful.
What an awesome cover, great job.
I'm Canadian, so you know I'm listening with a critical ear but this is a truly lovely rendition. I prefer the first one. You don't try to sound like Gordon Lightfoot. You give it your own voice. You do a good song justice!
Nice job, Carson. I grew up listening to Peter, Paul, and Mary singing this one. Loved it.
Excellent version of this great song Carson, man u can sing. Been learning to play this song and being a new player u have given me more inspiration to play this great song like you my friend thank u.👍👍
One of my favorite Lightfoot songs, and you did a top notch job with this rendition.
Yes!!! Keep it coming!
You captured the spirit! Thank you!
Beautiful.
Oh a beautiful walk down memory lane, with visions of my husband playing his 12 string . Miss those days. Thank you Carson
Omg. This is one of my most favorite songs, from one of the most underappreciated singer/songwriters. Performed by one my favorite singer/songwriters.
Awesome. The Gordon impersonation at the end was great!
SO good!
Splendid as always!
Love this
Good job Carson! Glad I listened to the end!
Always making our week better
Wonderful!
One word..... Excellent!!!
Excellent Carson! Thanks for including the Gordie / Canadian accent outtake! Made my day!
All the best from 🇨🇦 where the sun always #¥%* shines😆
Thank you, Early Morning Hair! That"s excellent again. This cover's simple, rich, honest sound gives me hope.
I use to sing this song with my dad since I was little... Gordon LIghtfood is my first musical memory (followed by PPM). He's has been gone some years, and you made me sang it again! Thanks!
Brings me back to college days. Thanks
Really great rendition Carson!! And that Gord tribute at the end was spot on!! Thanks brother!🙂
Oh, my. That voice. I could listen all day.
Great song, and a great performance!
Great Job , Out take, COOL AS HELL
Bought a digital download of Lightfoot! album off the back of watching this excellent cover. Thankyou Carson for expanding my musical taste. Thumbs up to both.
Love this guy..also all his cronies!!!
Superb!
I still listen to the Peter,Paul,and Mary cover of this song. A timeless classic. Awesome job Carson.
Love how his guitar wears lots of memories!

Wonderful song,and sound.👌
Your choice of songs is amazing
That's great. It's a song I seem to have known most of my life, but you make it sound so fresh and new. Thank you! And that Gordon Lightfoot impersonation is spot-on too and made me smile.
that's just great
Bravo Carson. Estupenda versión. Muy buena voz la tuya. Y un saludo a Gordon, al que se le quiere mucho por aquí.
Great cover, terrific voice!
Delightful, you are a very gifted guy
You should record an album of covers! I would buy it. You are so very good. And I love your originals, too.
Brilliant! Gord lives not far from here.
Loved the b roll.
