Its a very mature, inflective, expressive voice. I know many adult singers who cannot do what he is doing. Also, the harmonies from such a young singer are outstanding! Perfect!
Yesterday morning I get ‘Highway 40 Blues’ in my inbox and discover this French Family Band for the first time. After watching I think, “Hey, they’re all pretty good. They just might make it.” After 24 hours of watching their home concerts, Camille doc, Stuie history and Sonny guest shots in New Zealand, I’m the one who is a little late to their dance. Already accomplished, they’re all just getting more and more ready for worldwide acclaim. Welcome to America, French !
Insiders are very excited about the future in music of Stefan Benz, age 14, and he is great, but I have a feeling Sonny French is an even better bet for the future of music.
How cute. Your daughter can't hide that rhythm. :) This was my fathers favorite song. He wore out the jukebox at the 7 Devils Bar in Riggins, Idaho playing it.
OMGOD! Hi from IRELAND ☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ You are just the most awesome musical sensational family on the Internet!!! So so so beautiful. Just fabulous . Thank you all so much and every best wish and blessing for your futures 🥰🥰🥰
Hi there, lived in Alberta for 16 years...your rendition of this song brought back many memories...love your family connection...thank you for being you...
Good evening James I just moved from Alberta to West Texas year half ago I left Calgary just before this planned Demic hit what part of Alberta were you
It’s beautiful down in that area go west of black diamond into the mountains it was just a beautiful drive for many many Sundays thank you for replying I did not know that he lived in that area have a blessed day
@@archaprice3372 Hilarious. This is such an interesting vid. A little girl with a voice it seems and still has a little spastic child in her. Just a simple song. I don't know anything about this band or the family.
I just love your family I'm glad to see Mom and Dad and the kids playing keep them off the street and out of trouble and I love Sunny song made in Japan keep up the good work family
I had no idea why this was in my TH-cam recommendations but thank you algorithm. This has brightened a rainy day here in England. God bless you all. Such talent.
So fortunate to have all that music in this one family. Looks like Sonny has a Gibson LG2. Hope Manaia will take on the fiddle. That would put your family in the spotlight for sure.
You know, I’ve never been a country music fan until I saw you guys. I really love the songs you do and seeing you sing as a family unit is so special, Thank you for sharing your talent 😊
The Edmonton Folk Music Festival features this song as the final song on the last day of the festival for decades. Been there. Miss it cause of COVID. These guys help bring back good memories. Thanks so much for all you do!
What a wonderful family - a joy to watch and listen too - - a very proud dad ( and mum) he can’t help but smile at his very talented family - I’m hooked - well done ! 🇬🇧😎🇺🇸 if you take requests …… like to hear you sing Indian Lake …. ?
I dont even know what to say haha Your all the best EVER Such a treat like i was sitting in front of the TV my mom would have all those old songs playing live on tv way back lol
I see this was published on June 2 . That was my Dad’s 89 th birthday. He’s the one who turned me on to Bobby Bare. Great Song thanks for playing it. 😀
Now I need to hear Neil Young sing it. A great song that always sounds different, depending on who is singing it. Kudos to these folks for their effort.
The tone of the little girls harmony is so precious that I had a hard time keeping myself from getting a little choked up listening to this tune. By the time the song was over I had failed miserably in my quest to keep my eyes from welling up with tears. There is something special taking place on this channel. I'm happy that I recently discovered you people. Take care. sincerely, Dean O. :-I
They are te best! Watched since they started in living room then it became the lounge lol And Sonny so young but sooo good...i ended staying up till 11 st times. They are loved like family...
Bravo très bien j'ai beaucoup aimé les voix en plus se marie très bien un vrai bonheur à écouter oui bravo également à tous les guitaristes like 498 et bien le bonjour du sud de la France Christian
Watch y’all a lot. Love that it’s a family affair, and Sonny singing Not To Young, is just awesome for a young man of his age. I’ve been playing rhythm for years and am so jealous of how that young man played. God bless you all.
Sonny has tones in his voice that are just sublime and Manaia makes the vocals sound complete with her perfect harmonies. 🥰
The youngsters hit some glorious harmonies. Voices blend beautifully.
Oh my goodness. The French's keep getting more and more awesome. Nice job Mom and Dad. Nice job everyone.
The love on dads face when his little angel is singing harmony is priceless
Priceless
Thats parenting done right.
I totally agree
That little girl is precious!
Yes she is .
It’s amazing one so young can harmonize so well.
Did that in 1983--Yeah those winds are cold out there.
Hard to explain but that young mans voice is just super expressive, a joy to listen to..
It really is.
Just supper
Its a very mature, inflective, expressive voice. I know many adult singers who cannot do what he is doing. Also, the harmonies from such a young singer are outstanding! Perfect!
Little girl is good on the harmonies
Those two kids are amazing! They sound great together, beautiful voices!
As a proud Canadian I applaud this wonderful version . Ian and Sylvia would be proud.
I couldn’t agree more!
Great version, Sonny & Manaia! Played this with Ian many times, this song is timeless.
Great!
Very very good

You guys are a hit in Canada from the East coast to the West coast....excellent oeuvre!

So beautiful...

Sonny never ceases to amaze me! And Chet is back again!!!! Yipppie!!!!!
Oh... this is an older clip from last year when Chet was playing (sorry to get you excited!)
So what is Chet up to now days?
How cute. Your daughter can't hide that rhythm. :) This was my fathers favorite song. He wore out the jukebox at the 7 Devils Bar in Riggins, Idaho playing it.
fabulous.....
Outstanding! Loved it. The little lady sure knows how to harmonize!
Amazingly poignant
I agree
Just nice melodic music without anger, politics or drugs. How lovely!
The harmonies are fantastic. I hope Sonny makes it to the Grand Ol' Opry.
He did !!!
I love you ..greetings from Austria 😊

Manaia is very sweet. It must help her a lot to sing with Sonny while she gets used to performing.
Beautiful
Singing about my home province. Sweet!
Fantastic! voices and harmonising with that sort of quality, don't lose this family. There is much more to come.

It’s beautiful down in that area go west of black diamond into the mountains it was just a beautiful drive for many many Sundays thank you for replying I did not know that he lived in that area have a blessed day
This family is so talented. If they have a dog, it probably plays keyboard and does back up vocals.
LOL
