I guess this is the highest compliment I can give to people playing someone else's music, but I honestly never fully realized just how great this song is until right now.
It's absolutely perfect....
Exactly, the same feeling here...
I agree, so smooth.
Production is very good, adds to an already stellar performance
Well said
You know that was something special, right? The whole sound and vibe are unreal.
Carson's vocal performance here is sublime.
To think this vocal take is live and in one shot. The boys delivered as per usual.
Wow that’s one of the best covers of this song I’ve ever heard
Immaculate playing, but the best version for me remains Ben Harper/Jennifer Nettles, that version can set air on fire...
Carson's bro Skylar does a great cover. No offense I love it better. This is nice, but Skylars version has..oomph.
I don't want to offend either of you b/c you have reawoken (?) music in me. The discovery of your gorgeous art, both solo and collaborative, has immensely helped my soul. You both even got me to finally buy a cute li'l acoustic Yamaha, so thank you for soul medicine and inspiration during this very trying year.😊☺🤗🎉
If you haven't seen Matt Anderson's version, check it. absolutely incredible. my favorite. i absolutely love these two so much, but his definitely has my heart.
Shane that’s what they do
Carson's voice has so improved over the years; the intonation, the timbre, the timing... Wonderful. And stick to the friends jamming in the basement format, it clearly works very well for both of you.
I completely agree, he’s come so far
I was thinking the same thing as I watched this.
oh yes..he is wonderful
You are all correct! And it's always a bit awkward to complement someone like that, because it infers that they weren't that good to start with. BUT, we all know that Carson was already good! He's just jumped to that next level - REALLY GOOD!
@@markadams7328 👍
I keep coming back to this version, could listen to it all day long. I love Carson's voice x
Carson's voice is just so damn smooth.
Perhaps the best rendition of this song I’ve ever heard!
Jewel of a cover...not overproduced.. well played and sung..
I cant even..... SHEEEEEEESH !.... the singing - the playing - the lighting - the filming - sound - all perfect.....mesmerizing
These guys, separate and together, are not just “The Other Favorites”…they’re MY FAVORITES!
And mine
And then, just like that, everything seems slightly better in the world.
Right?
Made me smile 🎶✌️
Or at least we got to forget for 2:44
So true.
Man, I love this, Carson's voice is perfect for this classic tune.
Excellent choice of arrangement, chords and singing. Easily the best cover version out there. The future of great music is safe in the hands of young people like you.
Very nice comment, gotta say
Indeedly...
I've watched the other versions in the comments below numerous times (and of course the original a gazillion times). And I've watched this one at least 40 times. So pure, and Carson's voice. dang. Another fave is their Harmony Hall with Josh on vocals. These guys are amazing. (josh came to town last year and I called months in advance and he was sold out.)
I love the squeaks of the fingers going up and down the strings. Not sure why, but I always think it adds another layer to acoustic performances. With that said, this is pure gold, guys. This song is hauntingly beautiful. Definitely on a short list of the most perfect songs. You guys absolutely nailed it. Such a great cover.
Interesting. I think that the finger squeak on this recording is excessive and detracting.
Josh is the deal 👌
I love the squeaks too.
Maybe wrote something earlier but this is Top 10 aucustic performances on youtube
Carson, your vocals on this song are amazing.
It really is a perfect song.
I've heard it covered many times, sometimes great, sometimes terrible.. but this.. this is something else. This is on another level beyond.
Great work.
This is absolute perfection ! Anyone who dislikes this had to have been beaten by a guitar when they were kids and it busted their ear drums. The harmonies with the 2 guitars and voices soothes my soul so I can feel good about life for at least another night. You 2 kids are amazing and I wish you all the best
These guys always have fun and put their hearts into the music.
The high vocal starting at 2:03 is outstanding. Great rendition.
Yeah, that.
And the whole thing.
Outstanding. 👍
He has a great vocal range . He hit some low low notes in Folsom Prison blues . These guys are great !
Close your eyes, meditate, zone in on yourself with this playing in the background. It's heaven.
You guys are phenomenal. The guitar playing and vocals are exceptional to my old ears. Well done gents.👍👍🇨🇦
This is the right way to cover a song.
Wow, no guitar solo, but a Carson "Hooo hoo" ... such a simple piece of music and such a beautiful sound ... well done ... pleasure ... Thank you!
I could listen to you two 24/7 you are my favourite duet of all time with others I have to be the mood but you two I am always in the mood I just love your sound and you two are always tight in your playing and singing. I am 55 and thankful that I was here to witness your partnership.
Gosh could you imagine not knowing about Carson and Josh? Great playing as always
The only thing I didn't like about this one was that it was short. I was able to remedy this somewhat by listening to it a second time straight away. Great job!
yes.. the best ones are just too short..
Being a huge Springsteen fan for, well, ages let me just say... this has left me speechless.
His songs are the soundtracks of so many parts of my life; it's good to hear your cover but still feel at home as hearing the original!
I wish this cover lasted longer. Really amazing work, guys.
Just YESTERDAY we talked about that this song still needs a mckee cover version and BAM. Magic. Thank you, excellent as always.
Oh wow!!!! This is by far my favorite cover of this song and is on replay. Both of you are exceptional players and singers and bring such a positive vibe to the songs you perform. Thank you so much for sharing.
Incredible arrangement and rendition! Your musicality is a treasure. The rim shot effect Josh is able to get from his percussive playing is terrific too.
This is exactly how a cover should be done. Keeping the originality and adding your own flavor. Good one guys
Flippen magic. Well done Carson, and Josh.
Invidually your voices are fantastic, I love the tone. But when you guys harmonise it is magic. So glad you are still making music and making it together.
Now that is a very nice arrangement! And that smile after you sing you "got a bad desire"...
Awesome guys!! Best cover of this song I've heard yet. You compliment one another's musical nous well as usual. 👌
I was 4 or 5 when this was released, and to this day, whenever it comes on, if my family is around they all start singing 'oh oh oh I'm yo fwiend', as I mistakenly did as a kid. Some things you just never live down... lol
That’s cute. I was a lot older when I first heard this song and always thought (until just now) that Springsteen was singing, “...and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my ‘soul’”. I’ve been singing it wrong for decades!
My little friend hearing Brown Sugar in Pepsi commercial sang Kashugah
@@DMR6262 Me too (re: the "middle of my 'soul'" lyric)!!
Jesus this sounds as good if not better than the boss himself and live at that and to cap it all on acoustics Well done lads you should be proud of yourselves you really should !!!
This deserved an immediate replay. Beautifully sung as always. Never a mumbled lyric
You can’t just listen to this one time. Impossible.
Scrolling down while the song wrapped up thinking to myself I'm gonna play that again... then immediately read this comment :)
here I am on my 8th time
Looptube!:)
I hate covers so.... Only clicked into this cause I struggle with covering this myself 🤣 great job done though 👍👌
Don't tell me what I can't do.
Wow! Gorgeous sound. I never really thought about what this song would sound like with smooth, clear voices like yours. This and Thunder Road are my favorite Springsteen songs.
man I've seen your newer vids with your newer mics and improved recording equipment, but your vids with this little recorder still blow me away
Could this be any more perfect?! Thank you Carson, thank you Josh...The Other Favorites are my favorite.
Hello you two. Greetings from Germany. We came across your channel yesterday and were immediately impressed by your covers. The voices are beautiful and everything is very harmonious with the guitars. From us 5 thumbs up. Keep up the good work.
Friday-Night-DUO👍👍👍👍👍
it was long time ago... my teens... almost forgot what a beauty is this song!
thanks a lot for sharing and reviving my memories :) I'll be back on fire, for sure, somehow ;)
This literally has the production quality of something professional AND OH MY GOD YOUR VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL
Never listened to much Springsteen, but this is exceptional.
the boss is ok, but Carson and Josh are THE BEST.
You two.... What a sound you make together. What a commitment to your art, and what a friendship. I'm always taken aback. Thanks.
Wow so fantastic musicians, thank you both so much for this wonderful video performance 🎸🎸🎶🎶👌👌✅✅
Wow - I never heard a better cover of this beautiful song.
Always liked that song - now I love it!
Thank you guys . That was a perfect moment in time. The world is a better place for it . ❤
Now that was exquisite. Thank you to both. 🙏🏽
Your all’s musicianship is just unbelievable. I am not kidding when I say that I prefer some of your covers over the original artists.
Please keep them coming.
Excellent as always, guys. Thank you. So my silly story about this song is that when it first came out, we discovered that if you played it at 45 instead of 33 1/3, it sounded just like Dolly Parton.
My favorite Springsteen song and I love this cover.
Good job guys.
Played this at last nights gig - sounded NOTHING like this and I wish it would have. AMAZING work fellas.
Carson! This is superb! As good as the original. You and Josh are a great team.
Just plain great rendition! ...’nuff said! 😎👍
Must be one of the best covers I've heard definitely top 5 👌
Sooooooo Good! Your voice is silk as always and your fantastic mic management during the higher pitched "whoo hooo" parts at the end did not go unnoticed. Love to see you fingerpicking while Josh strums for a change. My favorite part of your cover was the smooth yet still punchy rhythm of it.... totally outstanding!
Love the Johnny Cash shuffle - nicely done
Carson - man, that was solid!! So cool that you and Skylar have both covered this song! Awesome job!!
I’ve commented before on these two young men and I always come back to watch & listen. Not that I’m a big Boss fan However, this performance is one of the best covers I’ve seen on video, audio & live . The sound, tempo and chorus is unbelievable. Superb, wish you’d post more. -God Bless
Can't argue with that kind of talent, thanks to both of you.
could listen for hours. Your both are great musicians.
I love this simple Springsteen song so much. It's good to see you guys pick up this kind of songs and create something totally new while keeping the spirit of the original version. Good stuff!
You guys never cease to amaze me keep up the good work you’re terrific
Great song and Carson's voice is perfect for it!
Carson is ALWAYS perfect!
What an unbelievable talent these two gentlemen!
This song was spectacular 🎶🎶🎧 🎶🎶🎙️🎶🎶
Now that was excellent...one of my favorite Springsteen songs and you did it max justice.
NEVER FAIL to impress us.... AMAZING!
Awesome rendition, thank you very much.
Genius piece of music by Springsteen, composed so one always wants one more listen - really cementing the lyrical meaning of the song. This feeling beautifully captured and performed by this duo
That's sublime as good as I have ever heard and the guitar playing is really 👌 good. I wonder are they on fb Carson hit me up..hauntingly beautiful. Guitar playing is extremely brilliant and the face of concentration with josh is very important 👌 what a player and good playing Would love to go and hear these two in a pub doing the acoustic versions..
You two together just makes me smile, and these days I have really needed this. Thank you, thank you thank you.
For me that is probably the best Carson vocal that I have heard so far. Really nice and well done.
My favourite youtube artists, my favourite song!!!! Devastated to not see you in Brisbane this year!
You've got a beautiful voice mr. Carson, and big support from master guitar player Josh Turner of course :)
Impeccable, as always... two fine young musicians 😊.
You're both excellent musicians. I thoroughly enjoy listening to such incredible talent.
Great job Carson! Love to see you and Josh still putting out good old fashioned cover videos. Always with your own interpretation too. Thanks!
I could listen to your voice all day! you have a beautiful gift!
Nice and sweet performance boys, well done 👌👌🎶🎶
Excellent! Love it and you two!
Chills big time!! Always loved the song!! In a little over 2 minutes a story is told.
It's a creepy story man that first verse is real creepy
These guys just get each other’s gift and work together. So glad you two keep playing together. Thank you and God bless you both,
Carson, perfect song, you and Josh are so good together.
It's a good day when I pull up TH-cam and see a video from you guys out there. I can't wait to see you all in person. Thanks for the music.
Beautiful song and beautiful cover, congratulations and thanks
This guy has a beautiful voice, you tube is great for artists like this. They need the exposure.
I needed this
Now, who knew that James Marriott himself fancies some Carson and Josh from time to time?
Yo, ol jimbo enjoying the other favourites, gang gang
You should check out matt Anderson version of this
@@IrishChef85 Agreed, top version
Amen, Brother James. Brother Jeffy did too.
One of my favorite Springsteen songs. You've nailed it. Excellent vocals capture the pain of the song and desire. Keep doing what you do. You both are extremely talented.
Man you got range. Beautiful job with a beautiful song. Also love your picking.
This song is one of my all time favorites. And the way these guys played and sang it just made it an emotionally conveyed masterpiece. Thank you ❤
