After so many perfect covers, I realized something... If you have a favorite old song, give it to Geoff. He's the guy who resurrects it for you and everyone else. He builds musical bridges in the songs that the original performers would have welcomed! Especially from a singer with such an amazing voice! 💚💯🎼
When Geoff posted on Patreon asking for suggestions a month ago I almost put Slow Hand on my list but decided not to because it would break the entire internet 😂
@@Lynn_M867 Lol 😂 Yep! Same if #TimFoust did it, but I’d be thrilled to death over it if they did it! Besides, for that, I’m sure it would be worth breaking the internet for a day…or two…or a week…or a month!!! 😂 😂 😊😊😊🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My favorite singer covering a classic from my second favorite singer. This was instantly one of my favorites, I appreciate the instinct to play this one more straight and not reinvent the song, but to freshen it up and give it that Geoff touch. Please consider "Johnny Cash covers" to be my standing request. You can do as many of them as you like! One of my favorite things about this video was the details and nods to Johnny Cash. The book Jeff is reading, the uniforms styled off the prisoners from Cash's Folsom Prison concerts, the Prisoner Numbers! *Chef's Kiss* Thank you for all you do, I am so proud to support you and help make this music possible!
I know this song is going to be good. It is going to be sad for me though. This is the first voiceplay/geoff song that my dad isn't here to watch with me. He passed away last week and he loved geoff and voiceplay. Thank you geoff for putting a smile on his face
Clapping pushups, Daryl?!? Way to intimidate the other inmates!! As if the singing wasn't impressive enough (and it is!), you pump out some perfect regular pushups at the beginning and some perfect clapping pushups at the end?! Gotta say, you make getting "old and boring" look and sound AMAZING!!!
Imagination and optimism: That's what Geoff has managed to capture here, somehow, in a song about prison. It starts out sweet and plaintive, and sometimes it's kinda sad, but the whole time these guys are looking forward to the future bright-eyed and excited about what they'll do "If they freed me from this prison / if that railroad train was mine!" They've got a bright future ahead of them, and they're just champing at the bit to start living it! 💙
You sir have a set of vocal chords that may never be matched by anyone on the planet. Your range is unreal and I applaud you for your talent as a singer.
Ive rewatched this 20+ times, kept sliding it back to the beginning. This song was made for Geoff. The video is amazing. I hope nothing but the best for him and his wife.
That would be amazing. I've been wanting him to do The Highwayman just with his clones - such a perfect idea for a reincarnation song to have the same guy from different eras. But if he were able to get a bass quartet together, this would also be an epic choice for that!
@@sarahereach Of course, if they did it properly... (Maybe with the help of Peter Hollens) they'd be four sets of four clones... Maybe with some vocal percussion help from Layne or Adam Rupp(? Home Free's beatboxer I think).
When I was having a rough PTSD day my girlfriend put your music on and it helped pull me back to level. So now whenever I am in a hard spot I turn on your music. So in conclusion my girlfriend saved my life with your song ghost riders in the sky. Thank you.
I can tell you that music is the only thing that keeps me in this reality! PTSD sucks, memories suck, but music brings back perspective! Your OK Brother, just keep it up!
Sometimes you just need a little help tying another knot at the end of the rope you're hanging onto, and Geoff's music helps bring a bit of wonder and distraction ❤😌
Geoff with the pushups at the beginning, plus the hair being the longest I've ever seem it!!! Also the harmonica skills??? Bro is truly built different I swear.
I used to listen to your songs with my elderly mom. She loved all of them. Wish she could hear this one. Great cover and it brings good memories. She passed on Valentines day. She would have loved this cover
You've got to be kidding me. So many F#1 chests in this one, with no signs of decaying resonance. Beautiful performance and wonderful harmonica solo. You absolutely rock!
Holy cow! Geoff my guy.... that was amazing. I think Johnny was watching and listening with a huge smile on his face and a nod of approval. You never cease to amaze me my friend. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@tommax1626He sings this low to make us scared. I am pretty sure he could sing much lower than this in chest, he just doesn't show it off. Pretty sure he could at least get down to E1 in chest. But he feels like it doesn't have good tone quality.
@@hugobasilio1303 Probably true, if he were to go to his absolute limit, he would have basically no freedom to change his tone, to slide into and out of this register without stopping, but i am still hopefull, one day we get to see his innerst demons!
Geez!!!! I just love this guy! I thought I had burned myself out, binge-watching him a couple of weeks ago. Apparently, not! And, the addition of harmonica is PRICELESS!!!! I'll be sharing this one with my friend, who is an exceptional harmonica player. We binged Geoff a little together recently. I'm sure he'll pull out his harmonica for this one; and we're going to have a great time with Geoff, in this virtual space!
Hey Geoff, just listened to your interview with Peter Barber and may I just say to you that ANY song you would want to sing we will absolutely LOVE it! Don't worry about whether or not we wouldn't want to hear it. We all love your voice, style and arraignment....so just keep working off that list 😉 And thank you for all the effort you put in making this beautiful songs and videos! ❤ BTW I can't wait to hear to this beauty!
I see the daily news has gotten into people's phones... Love the autocorrect from "arrangement" to "arraignment" here. Of course it's also suitable for a song about prison.
@@GeoffCastellucci: remember that Home Free did this song also but version is ( still like Home Free version) but this is what is sound like from the original but more your spin.
This song in particular reminds me of an old resident I used to clean rooms for at my work. His name was Ellis. Ellis was a perfect addition to the home, the sound of his harmonica echoing throughout the halls with many Johnny Cash tunes in his arsenal. I asked him how he learned to play and he said, "Once I lost the use of my legs, I knew I still had my hands as well as my voice." So he learned how that way, keeping his hands aand mind busy as he continued to play his way into my heart and of those he touched. He asked me to sing with him multiple times and each time we did, was a moment that I will always remember for as long as I live. Just sitting down with this man, almost made me feel like I was sitting down with Johnny. The sheer joy he had playing for everybody and anybody, makes my heart smile. We lost him last year and it's people like Geoff, who pay homage to the greats that keeps the memory and the music alive. Bravo! Geoff. Bravo!

As a hardcore Johnny Cash fan since decades I'm usually not so much into other artists covering his fantastic songs. But this one is simply unbelievable! The bare necessities, Headless horseman, Sixteen tons, Misty mountains, Man of constant sorrow ... you can't image to top these ... but then: here comes Folsom Prison Blues! And I love the detail: you're reading his autobiography. The man in black would be honored by your performance.
As a Cash fan, how did you like him doing the Hurt cover? I’ve been a huge NIN fan for decades, and found it hilarious how many people thought Trent covered the song.
I happened upon this music video during my lunchtime, you see I was in a rather dour mood after having all the drains in the deli, where I work, so when I started this video I didn’t know what I was in for. I just knew it was going to be good because, well It’s Geoff Castellucci and we all know how awesome he is at arranging his pieces. Oh I was so not wasn’t ready to listen to this work of art. This piece just seemed different from the rest he’s done in the past. So full of Easter eggs and I’ll admit it…candy too, but what had me reeling was the richness of his voice. This music video and arrangement, good sir, has been your best one yet. Many have compared Geoff’s voice to a fine wine, aged well and matured, but I’d have to say when I listen to Geoff’s voice I think of a sun setting….oh the layers, it’s so vivid I almost see colors. There’s a richness in his tenor range that is so full and sweet it reminds me of the vibrant colors cast upon the clouds whereas his deeper bass register is like the rich deep colors you find in between the clouds that you can’t help but be in awe of….everything works in harmony, the deepness reinforces his higher range. Oh how I love the intricacy of this arrangement, a new favorite of mine….now don’t mind me, but I have a sudden urge to go paint a sunset for some reason.
Stunning vocals, earthshaking low notes, and the pleasant surprise of a very talented harmonica solo! Geoff, you never fail to impress and amaze, and you can (and do) give me a new favourite version of each song you cover. Love from Scotland!
@@deborah3647 Geoff might not be advanced enough to do the solo on the guitar like it was done in the original recording back in 1955 as done by Luther Perkins.
This one's definitely a favorite, G. I really appreciate that you didn't reinvent this one. You were very true to the original, while still giving us some Geoff spin on it. The visuals are a treat, your clone interactions only continue to improve. As do the various 'personalities' of the clones themselves: 'Jeff's' attitude... 'Daryl's' surliness... 'Joeph's' reticence/air of regret. Thank you again for allowing me a seat on this crazy train. 💕
Geoff, I don’t know how you do it, but you’ve put ANOTHER cool spin on a song! Your harp playing, contrary to what you think, is sublime! I love it in this arrangement, as with all your arrangements, how you lead us down a path, and we think we know where it’s going, but NOPE, SURPRISE! Thank you for all the treats you gave us in this video! 👓📖💪🏻
OMG!!! Geoff that was amazing!!! I absolutely love your rich voice. And you totally rocked that song! I would love to hear more Johnny Cash covers. You have the perfect voice to do his songs justice!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful video! Take care...see you soon!!!
I was very impressed that you managed to get an entire cellblock to yourself. As a former CO, i know good and well how much of a near impossibility that is. I can't even begin to understand how you pulled that off.
Geoff, you did a great job. Johnny Cash would be proud of you. This song has a very special story. It deserved to be sung by a special singer like you. This song with your voice shone again. I was very emotional when I read the story. I'm glad you did. It was beyond amazing.❤🙏🙏
The man in Black has the advantage of having done it first, and having done it before a live prison audience, but he has the disadvantage of not having your range! A worthy and satisfactory cover. I will enjoy this for the rest of my life.😺
@@judithweger7693 interesting that you brought that up, you might enjoy this song by John Corbett AKA Chris in the morning from northern exposure. He released a couple of albums and this is one of the best songs. 🫶 th-cam.com/video/3txqT2DxL2k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IRqDOmX4rHBgeCsD Got laid of from work today, boss man says they're shuttin' down the line Said the trains moved too slow, they can't keep up with the time Guess I'll break out the 45's and drop a needle on a phonograph I ain't got a nickle to my name but I got lots of Cash I just want to hear the blues and get drunk on that lonesome vinyl sound Get lost in yesterday till tomorow morning's comin' down I'll watch those records spinnin' round and round and dance in circles till I crash You may be thinking that I'm broke but I got lots of Cash When I hear that whistle blowin' it gets me back on track I don't care where I'm goin' cause I'm with the Man in Black I know the world won't stop for me soon I'll have to get back on my feet Sick of feeling out of place can't find the medicine I need 'Cause that music that they're playin' down the street Is just the same old trash It may make 'em lots of money but it don't make' em Cash That music that they're playin' down the street Is just the same old trash It may make 'em lots of money But it don't make' em cash I ain't got a nickel to my name But I've got lots of cash You may be thinkin' that I'm broke But I've got lots of cash
Love it! Geoff’s wonderful voice, the beautiful harmonica lines, and the personalities of the clones such as Jeff’s rolling eyes and Daryl’s showing off!😂
whatever geoff has been doing in his life style or how he trains his voice. it's working for him and he has been doing really good with bass singing down in the double low F# register that he can now hit a more relaxed F#1 note at 2:20. even in just almost 6 years since I first watched his stuff. he has been improving so much.
I give it a Johnny cash out of ten and an omg out of 11. It’s funny because I had NO idea that he actually made a cover for this song I swear I was thinking about it the other day and when I saw this it’s like TH-cam read my mind! Well done Geoff, I really love Johnny Cash and this cover was amazing! Update: I showed my grandpa because he is a big fan of Johnny Cash, he really liked it and was impressed by how low Geoff’s vocal range can go
Jeff brings this song back to life and I can tell you this much right now I have a feeling he's going to take this cover song by Johnny Cash the number one right where it stood back in 1968 when Johnny Cash took it all the way to number one. But he did the live version of this and he also did a studio version in 1955. And besides that, his voice sounds a lot like Josh Turner. His voice was also the same way this is what it reminds me of!
i've been listening to Geoff for a while now. and i'm still amazed at how low he can go. it blows my mind every time i hear him. great cover of Johnny Cashs Folsom Prison Blues. thanks Geoff. ❤❤
Geoff, you gave us another wonderful cover! You have such a good sense where to change up a song completely and where to stick more to the original, you proved that again here. Your voice fits the song perfectly and you surprised me from the first line on - how brilliant is it to slow down the beginning on ‘and time keeps draggin’ on’! I love the little details (including easter-eggs) to differentiate the different characters and expecially Jeff’s attitude! My two favorite moments are you playing the harp and your little run on ‘whoa’ in ‘…better movin’ on a little further down the line, whoa’ I’m supremely amazed by your and Kathy’s commitment to book an actual prison (with no AC) and even let yourself be locked in a cell! Thank you also for all the visual goodies you included (hello 💪💪💪 !)
I've listened to Johnny cash since I was a child raied by my grandparents im 53 now I've heard this song plenty in my lifetime and GEOFF nailed it perfectly love this version of this song everything he does is golden sincerely mean that❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😱😱😱😱😱😱
I love the attention to detail in making each character a separate personality! Nice touch giving Jeff glasses and a book about Johnny Cash to read! The music was beautiful and it will be going straight into my playlist!
❤As usual you break the house (the prison). Your way of redoing songs is your own. Simple and efficient !!! haha. The simple things are often the best! are you a simple man? Hmm I think so. Superb work in working conditions that are not obvious. Congratulations to Kathy and you. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!❤
Oh wow!❤🔥🌋 I was hoping so hard that you'd sing Folsom Prison Blues. I love Johnny Cash, especially this song, very especially the Reno line (got it on a t-shirt and many are confused 😂) AND I love Geoff Castellucci as an artist! The combination couldn't be better. Johnny Cash wrote the song in 1953 while stationed in Germany serving in the Air Force. Regarding the video: it is illegal to appear so handsome four times. You start straight away with push-ups. And end up clapping between pushups. I am full of envy and love 😅. but since I've been getting testosterone as a substitution, I've been working on it and getting better and better. My voice also fits more and more to your songs, which makes me so happy! I sing "with" you every day. This helps me so much to keep my voice gender dysphoria in check. I used to have to put a capo on the first fred for Johnny's songs, now I can do without. Nothing, really nothing calms and grounds me more than reaching notes when singing "with" you. Of course Folsom Prison is immediately on my best playlist named "Castellucci 🔥". Geoff, a thousand thanks for this joy that you bring to so many people with your music and personality! You enrich my life and increase my quality of life, which is sometimes not so good (cause I'm a creep and weirdo, you know).
❤ You are not a creep or a weirdo (even though many of us identify with VoicePlay's latest). You are a unique human being who deserves the best. Would love to hear you sing one day, and I wish you good fortune on your journey.
I cant stop listening to this version the rythm is stuck in my head every time its over i still hear it i catch myself either tapping my foot or hand on my lap i think im addicted 🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes sir!!! You done that as it should be done!!! Your low bass lines are very much key.. much appreciation from liberty county Texas sir!! Don’t stop!! We love your music!.
After working in jails and prisons for 22 years, my first thought was to see if each 'inmate' had a different number on his shirt. Well done! Attention to detail on top of a great arrangement!
My mom and dad loved Johnny Cash and played his records a lot when i was a child. I didn't care for JC's voice. Your voice(s), however, are fantastic. Your and the team's ingenuity on producing the video is fun to watch and listen to. The arrangement and new take on the old song meant I could really enjoy listening to it. Awesome video too!
Woo! I know I must have already said that, but your covers only ever grow better, Geoff. At the beginning, I thought this one was going to be slower than the original, which wouldn't have been a bad thing anyway, but then the real tempo kicked in and I knew, yep. Yep, this one takes it another two steps up. This way it's like the train can really be heard in the background and it's awesome. Mad respect, there, all the crazy that comes from working with four voices like that must be even more difficult when the song goes quick.
Thank you Geoff for doing this cover song. You really did a great job on this version. You have one of the best voices that I've ever heard. Blessing and well wishes to you. Take care.
i falled in love with your voice, Geoff. no, with all your voices, waouh ! even numbers are different, perfect. excellente mise en scène. kisses from France
I liked the fact that each Prisoner Number on the shirts, never repeated. Seams simple, but it is a simple thing to mess up. And great video. Ya did Johnny Cash proud, Geoff.
That was wonderful Geoff, thank you! I have to say, Daryl looked more like a hardened criminal than the rest of you. That was quite the "Don't mess with me" look and swagger he had. The code details on the shirts were ingenious, I can't fathom how you come up with such subtle yet very satisfying details. I'm also in awe of your wonderful gift of knowing just what a song needs, something new with quite the spin or in this case, staying more true to the original with only subtle changes. Loved it! 😀💜
500K!!!!!! Views in 2 days, this man deserves all of this and more! … Fantastic rendition from BassMaster Blast himself on this Classic Song, I’m seriously so happy he is getting all this attention, because people are seeing the unbelievable talent that is Geoff Castellucci!
My husband just told me, Geoff needs to do a Blues Brothers song. After finding out that he learned harmonica for a Blues Brothers show at Universal Studios, now we REAAAALLLLY want to see that! Imagine "Sweet Home Chicago" or "Gimme Some Lovin'" sung by the Geoffettes. Or a Blues Brothers mashup. The epitome of COOL.
After so many perfect covers, I realized something...
If you have a favorite old song, give it to Geoff. He's the guy who resurrects it for you and everyone else. He builds musical bridges in the songs that the original performers would have welcomed! Especially from a singer with such an amazing voice! 💚💯🎼
Ooh! Maybe It's Been A Long Long Time by Bing Crosby? 😍😍😍😍😍 That would be amazing!
I want him or #TimFoust to do Conway Twitty’s “Slow Hand”! It would be amazing!!!
When Geoff posted on Patreon asking for suggestions a month ago I almost put Slow Hand on my list but decided not to because it would break the entire internet 😂
@@Lynn_M867 Lol 😂 Yep! Same if #TimFoust did it, but I’d be thrilled to death over it if they did it! Besides, for that, I’m sure it would be worth breaking the internet for a day…or two…or a week…or a month!!! 😂 😂 😊😊😊🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

And I love the detail: you're reading his autobiography.
The man in black would be honored by your performance.
As a Cash fan, how did you like him doing the Hurt cover? I’ve been a huge NIN fan for decades, and found it hilarious how many people thought Trent covered the song.
I happened upon this music video during my lunchtime, you see I was in a rather dour mood after having all the drains in the deli, where I work, so when I started this video I didn’t know what I was in for. I just knew it was going to be good because, well It’s Geoff Castellucci and we all know how awesome he is at arranging his pieces. Oh I was so not wasn’t ready to listen to this work of art. This piece just seemed different from the rest he’s done in the past. So full of Easter eggs and I’ll admit it…candy too, but what had me reeling was the richness of his voice. This music video and arrangement, good sir, has been your best one yet.
Many have compared Geoff’s voice to a fine wine, aged well and matured, but I’d have to say when I listen to Geoff’s voice I think of a sun setting….oh the layers, it’s so vivid I almost see colors. There’s a richness in his tenor range that is so full and sweet it reminds me of the vibrant colors cast upon the clouds whereas his deeper bass register is like the rich deep colors you find in between the clouds that you can’t help but be in awe of….everything works in harmony, the deepness reinforces his higher range.
Oh how I love the intricacy of this arrangement, a new favorite of mine….now don’t mind me, but I have a sudden urge to go paint a sunset for some reason.
I cant explain how much I look forward to your new stuff. I have depression and your art brings me real joy.
High quality F#1 chest, insane. Perfect cover, love it.
Johnny Cash has returned to find out who is singing his music and he couldn't be more pleased! I curtsey to you!
Holy cats! What a range this guy has! And one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard!
A round of applause for a stellar update to a classic song. Geoff, you managed to keep the heart of the song while making it more contemporary.
Thanks!
Stunning vocals, earthshaking low notes, and the pleasant surprise of a very talented harmonica solo! Geoff, you never fail to impress and amaze, and you can (and do) give me a new favourite version of each song you cover. Love from Scotland!
He really is super talented and cool! He and Tim Foust are the best! And that harmonica solo, what ?! 😮 Too amazing!😊
@@deborah3647 Geoff might not be advanced enough to do the solo on the guitar like it was done in the original recording back in 1955 as done by Luther Perkins.
Bro is spreading max positivity. Love it.
This one's definitely a favorite, G. I really appreciate that you didn't reinvent this one. You were very true to the original, while still giving us some Geoff spin on it.
The visuals are a treat, your clone interactions only continue to improve. As do the various 'personalities' of the clones themselves: 'Jeff's' attitude... 'Daryl's' surliness... 'Joeph's' reticence/air of regret.
Thank you again for allowing me a seat on this crazy train. 💕
TRUE TALENT HERE!!! WHo else could duplicate anything like this!?
Dan Vasc
Johnny cash probably wouldn't have minded if you were singing right along side him that would have been priceless omg!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍
Just last week, my son was listening to other Geoff songs with me and said..."I want to hear him sing Johnny Cash" - Ask and you shall receive.
Geoff, I don’t know how you do it, but you’ve put ANOTHER cool spin on a song! Your harp playing, contrary to what you think, is sublime! I love it in this arrangement, as with all your arrangements, how you lead us down a path, and we think we know where it’s going, but NOPE, SURPRISE!
Thank you for all the treats you gave us in this video! 👓📖💪🏻
Lucky you have seen it
@@SouthPawBowler24Patreon, baby! Best decision I ever did make. 😊
OMG!!! Geoff that was amazing!!! I absolutely love your rich voice. And you totally rocked that song! I would love to hear more Johnny Cash covers. You have the perfect voice to do his songs justice!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful video! Take care...see you soon!!!
Even the prison numbers are different, what a detail keeper
Check them against a phone keypad 😉
His tone is so pure! Total joy!
I was very impressed that you managed to get an entire cellblock to yourself. As a former CO, i know good and well how much of a near impossibility that is. I can't even begin to understand how you pulled that off.
Because it's not an active prison, and he rented it?
When hear those harmonies from Geoff, I hang my head and cry😭
Johnny was an American legend. Your cover was the best version of this song I have ever heard. Flawless.
I just watched this Geoff[s] video again - goosebumps all over my body and in my hair follicles!!!!
Johnny would be so proud!! I love this cover!! Folsom Prison is probably my favorite Cash album. Thank you! Makes me smile!! ❤️❤️
Geoff, you did a great job. Johnny Cash would be proud of you.
This song has a very special story. It deserved to be sung by a special singer like you. This song with your voice shone again. I was very emotional when I read the story. I'm glad you did. It was beyond amazing.❤🙏🙏
♥️😊🥰🤗🤗😘😘😘
I'll bet Johnny was up there tapping his toe and saying, "yeah Geoff, sing it"!!! Amazing cover!
The man in Black has the advantage of having done it first, and having done it before a live prison audience, but he has the disadvantage of not having your range!
A worthy and satisfactory cover. I will enjoy this for the rest of my life.😺
But Johnny enjoyed the "Cash"
@@judithweger7693 interesting that you brought that up, you might enjoy this song by John Corbett AKA Chris in the morning from northern exposure. He released a couple of albums and this is one of the best songs. 🫶 th-cam.com/video/3txqT2DxL2k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IRqDOmX4rHBgeCsD
Got laid of from work today, boss man says they're shuttin' down the line
Said the trains moved too slow, they can't keep up with the time
Guess I'll break out the 45's and drop a needle on a phonograph
I ain't got a nickle to my name
but I got lots of Cash
I just want to hear the blues and get drunk on that lonesome vinyl sound
Get lost in yesterday
till tomorow morning's comin' down
I'll watch those records spinnin' round and round and dance in circles till I crash
You may be thinking that I'm broke but I got lots of Cash
When I hear that whistle blowin'
it gets me back on track
I don't care where I'm goin' cause I'm with the Man in Black
I know the world won't stop for me
soon I'll have to get back on my feet
Sick of feeling out of place
can't find the medicine I need
'Cause that music that they're playin' down the street
Is just the same old trash
It may make 'em lots of money
but it don't make' em Cash
That music that they're playin' down the street
Is just the same old trash
It may make 'em lots of money
But it don't make' em cash
I ain't got a nickel to my name
But I've got lots of cash
You may be thinkin' that I'm broke
But I've got lots of cash
Johnny would be impressed! I've met him and he loved his fans. He said he wouldn't have been where he was without them!
Never heard of this guy before but what an amazing voice!
He's also the bass singer in his group VoicePlay.
Who else would LOVE a full album of Johnny Cash covers? 😁🤚🏻
Oh, yes please
I'd die for that
Honestly, I consider Johnny Cash covers my standing request from Geoff. He has my blessing to cover as many as he likes!
Booster Patrol here on yt has a great cover of God's Gonna Cut You Down. Not Geoff but really well done.
Yes!
ABSOLUTELY!!! ❤
My favorite musical discovery in maaany, many years.
I do believe Johnny would be proud of your version of Folsom Prison Blues ! You totally nailed this cover ! 👍👍
Another great version done on this song. Loved it.
Keep up the great job.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The prisoner outfit could have easily all been the same but the fact that all the Geoffs had different prisoner numbers is a nice little touch.
If you translate them to letters using a phone keypad you'll see why.
Sick cover Geoff!!! Whenever you do country styled covers I immediately get super positive vibes and I‘m LOVING it!
Love it! Geoff’s wonderful voice, the beautiful harmonica lines, and the personalities of the clones such as Jeff’s rolling eyes and Daryl’s showing off!😂
I absolutely love when he says come on and the others roll their eyes
whatever geoff has been doing in his life style or how he trains his voice. it's working for him and he has been doing really good with bass singing down in the double low F# register that he can now hit a more relaxed F#1 note at 2:20. even in just almost 6 years since I first watched his stuff. he has been improving so much.
I give it a Johnny cash out of ten and an omg out of 11. It’s funny because I had NO idea that he actually made a cover for this song I swear I was thinking about it the other day and when I saw this it’s like TH-cam read my mind! Well done Geoff, I really love Johnny Cash and this cover was amazing!
Update: I showed my grandpa because he is a big fan of Johnny Cash, he really liked it and was impressed by how low Geoff’s vocal range can go
Jeff brings this song back to life and I can tell you this much right now I have a feeling he's going to take this cover song by Johnny Cash the number one right where it stood back in 1968 when Johnny Cash took it all the way to number one. But he did the live version of this and he also did a studio version in 1955. And besides that, his voice sounds a lot like Josh Turner. His voice was also the same way this is what it reminds me of!
Great voice and loving the respect you give the to Johnny Cash
That was a beautiful and fun rendition of the song. Loved it so much. I also very much enjoyed Geoff clapping for himself a floor up at the end. 😂❤
Alone or with Voice Play. thank you for sharing your voice with the world.
Just noticed - each "prisoner" has a different number. A+.
Someone else suggested looking at the phone keypad and comparing the numbers... You have Jeff, Geoff, Daryl and Jeoph. 😂
@@mariemartin6612 That's really cool.
i've been listening to Geoff for a while now. and i'm still amazed at how low he can go. it blows my mind every time i hear him. great cover of Johnny Cashs Folsom Prison Blues. thanks Geoff. ❤❤
I absolutely love the glasses Geoff with the eye roll lol and the guy doing push ups. I already commented on how much I LOVE the harmonica
Wow. Again a mindblowing performance, Geoff! I can't wait to hear the next song from you. What a wonderful voice!
This song is amazing! This was actually the last thing my brother sent me before he died two weeks later... This song now brings back great memories
I'm so sorry for your loss.
@@tonifinley4872 Thank you 🙂
My gosh! What an amazing range in his voice. Lovely young man.
I actually never thought anyone could improve on Johnny Cash's version. This is absolutely amazing. what a great way to start my day!
He's done it again, folks!!!! Great work Geoff! ❤✨
Reading "Johnny Cash Autobiography"📖. Nice touch.
Great rendition. Love it.❤❤
Geoff, you gave us another wonderful cover! You have such a good sense where to change up a song completely and where to stick more to the original, you proved that again here.
Your voice fits the song perfectly and you surprised me from the first line on - how brilliant is it to slow down the beginning on ‘and time keeps draggin’ on’! I love the little details (including easter-eggs) to differentiate the different characters and expecially Jeff’s attitude! My two favorite moments are you playing the harp and your little run on ‘whoa’ in ‘…better movin’ on a little further down the line, whoa’
I’m supremely amazed by your and Kathy’s commitment to book an actual prison (with no AC) and even let yourself be locked in a cell!
Thank you also for all the visual goodies you included (hello 💪💪💪 !)
@@SPNQueen yes in blues it's called harp
This is amazing... what a performance!! Beautifully done...🎉 👏
Love that each character actually had a different number, that's good attention to detail!
Splendid! John Cash would be proud Geoff. Those slap-hand pushups at the end got a big chuckle . 😊
Прекрасный голос- давно слежу за этим уникальным артистом!!! С нетерпением жду каждое видео. Спасибо!!! Россия, СПб.
Приятно видеть, я тоже)) Таганрог.
Да... у Джеффа уникальный голос и всегда интересное исполнение. Екатеринбург.
А я так просто в восторге от Джеффа, столько талантов в одной личности! Воронеж)
Красноярск Вас поддерживает.
Came into this as a Texan with a deep abiding love for Johnny and expected excellence.
Nearly fell off my chair 16 seconds in.
Me too from San Antone
I've listened to Johnny cash since I was a child raied by my grandparents im 53 now I've heard this song plenty in my lifetime and GEOFF nailed it perfectly love this version of this song everything he does is golden sincerely mean that❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😱😱😱😱😱😱
I love the attention to detail in making each character a separate personality! Nice touch giving Jeff glasses and a book about Johnny Cash to read! The music was beautiful and it will be going straight into my playlist!
But Daryl is just SOOOOOO cute!
at 2:41 look at the top of the steps
They al have different prisoner numbers, too.
@@pioneercynthia1 yes, the prisoner numbers spell out the name of the “Geoff”. L-R it is Jeff, Geoff, Daryl, and Jeoph.
qand each has his own numbers as well
❤As usual you break the house (the prison). Your way of redoing songs is your own. Simple and efficient !!! haha. The simple things are often the best! are you a simple man? Hmm I think so. Superb work in working conditions that are not obvious. Congratulations to Kathy and you. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!❤
Did you notice each shirt was a different number
@@sisterseeker1 yes. The name to the each clones. Take the phone numbers and You'll find it!!! Enjoy 😉😊
Blown away by the quality of everything! Singing, cinematography and all is just extraordinary!
Oh wow!❤🔥🌋 I was hoping so hard that you'd sing Folsom Prison Blues. I love Johnny Cash, especially this song, very especially the Reno line (got it on a t-shirt and many are confused 😂) AND I love Geoff Castellucci as an artist! The combination couldn't be better.
Johnny Cash wrote the song in 1953 while stationed in Germany serving in the Air Force.
Regarding the video: it is illegal to appear so handsome four times. You start straight away with push-ups. And end up clapping between pushups. I am full of envy and love 😅.
but since I've been getting testosterone as a substitution, I've been working on it and getting better and better. My voice also fits more and more to your songs, which makes me so happy! I sing "with" you every day. This helps me so much to keep my voice gender dysphoria in check. I used to have to put a capo on the first fred for Johnny's songs, now I can do without. Nothing, really nothing calms and grounds me more than reaching notes when singing "with" you.
Of course Folsom Prison is immediately on my best playlist named "Castellucci 🔥".
Geoff, a thousand thanks for this joy that you bring to so many people with your music and personality!
You enrich my life and increase my quality of life, which is sometimes not so good (cause I'm a creep and weirdo, you know).
❤ You are not a creep or a weirdo (even though many of us identify with VoicePlay's latest). You are a unique human being who deserves the best. Would love to hear you sing one day, and I wish you good fortune on your journey.
I cant stop listening to this version the rythm is stuck in my head every time its over i still hear it i catch myself either tapping my foot or hand on my lap i think im addicted 🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
WHAT A VOICE RANGE!! Enjoyed the new take on doing the song by one person with such a voice range.! Thank you! Linda
Yes sir!!! You done that as it should be done!!! Your low bass lines are very much key.. much appreciation from liberty county Texas sir!! Don’t stop!! We love your music!.
Geoff, you did the Man in Black proud! Great job!
After working in jails and prisons for 22 years, my first thought was to see if each 'inmate' had a different number on his shirt. Well done! Attention to detail on top of a great arrangement!
And each number is that clone's name.
Left to right Jeff, Geoff, Daryl, and Jeoph.
My mom and dad loved Johnny Cash and played his records a lot when i was a child. I didn't care for JC's voice. Your voice(s), however, are fantastic. Your and the team's ingenuity on producing the video is fun to watch and listen to. The arrangement and new take on the old song meant I could really enjoy listening to it. Awesome video too!
I like the detail of each Geoff having a different inmate number.
If you assign the numbers a letter based on a phone keypad, you get their names. 😁
But don’t two of them have the same number? The two on the left?
@@krisdiel6298 Nope. From L to R: 05333 (Jeff), 43633 (Geoff), 32795 (Daryl), and 53674 (Jeoph). 😁
@@Debs_Badger - Ok, I didn’t realize my eyes were quite that bad.
Also different sleeve lengths
I swear Geoff’s bass makes every cell in my body vibrate 🫨🔥
Woo! I know I must have already said that, but your covers only ever grow better, Geoff. At the beginning, I thought this one was going to be slower than the original, which wouldn't have been a bad thing anyway, but then the real tempo kicked in and I knew, yep. Yep, this one takes it another two steps up. This way it's like the train can really be heard in the background and it's awesome. Mad respect, there, all the crazy that comes from working with four voices like that must be even more difficult when the song goes quick.
Thank you Geoff for doing this cover song. You really did a great job on this version. You have one of the best voices that I've ever heard. Blessing and well wishes to you. Take care.
i falled in love with your voice, Geoff. no, with all your voices, waouh !
even numbers are different, perfect.
excellente mise en scène.
kisses from France
Why isn't he the biggest star out there now? He's so gifted!! That bass is out of this world! Wow!
I liked the fact that each Prisoner Number on the shirts, never repeated. Seams simple, but it is a simple thing to mess up. And great video. Ya did Johnny Cash proud, Geoff.
They are different for a reason.... they tell you which clone you are seeing... Jeff, Geoff, Daryl, and Jeoph.
Geoff is so great! Has there ever been such a fabulous entertainer? That low note he hit near the end was a Gb 1, the lowest Gb on the 88 keys.
Soooooo good! I could feel it
That was wonderful Geoff, thank you! I have to say, Daryl looked more like a hardened criminal than the rest of you. That was quite the "Don't mess with me" look and swagger he had. The code details on the shirts were ingenious, I can't fathom how you come up with such subtle yet very satisfying details. I'm also in awe of your wonderful gift of knowing just what a song needs, something new with quite the spin or in this case, staying more true to the original with only subtle changes. Loved it! 😀💜
Daryl is definitely unhinged. 😂
@@angiewoollard704 But I think Daryl is the cutest 'brother'....
500K!!!!!! Views in 2 days, this man deserves all of this and more! … Fantastic rendition from BassMaster Blast himself on this Classic Song, I’m seriously so happy he is getting all this attention, because people are seeing the unbelievable talent that is Geoff Castellucci!
My husband just told me, Geoff needs to do a Blues Brothers song. After finding out that he learned harmonica for a Blues Brothers show at Universal Studios, now we REAAAALLLLY want to see that! Imagine "Sweet Home Chicago" or "Gimme Some Lovin'" sung by the Geoffettes. Or a Blues Brothers mashup. The epitome of COOL.
