@@robertewalt7789, "... when Willie recorded this song?" I think it was 1973. Also, as much as I love Willie Nelson's music, the quality of his voice has never been his best feature. IMO, even at its best it was never close to as good as Carson's. I think Kenny Rogers said something to the effect of "You don't need a good voice to sing country music, you just need to be able to tell the story." He and Willie could definitely do that.
I AM IN AWE of Josh's imitation of the pedal steel, which a ridiculously complicated instrument to play. Check out his knee while he's playing to replicate the sound. Also, that little "I'm just gonna grab the slide from my shirt pocket" is a HARD FLEX. These guys are so good together.
Adrian Woodhouse, Here's a sad song you might enjoy then: "Savanna Chestnut - Marlboro Man (Official Video)" -- Savanna Chestnut th-cam.com/video/13FK5oRWsbE/w-d-xo.html I don't understand why her videos have not been watched more, but I'm trying to spread the word as much as I can. I'm curious whether anyone else agrees about her songwriting and singing being what today's country music needs. (If you like that one there's lots more where it came from.)
You two go together in a song like whiskey and cigarettes, like Roger McGuinn and a Rickenbacker 12-string or Dylan and his harp. There just aren't too many things that are this much fun that ain't bad for you. 8) Thanks fellas.
Josh and Carson are killer on everything! Really nice guys! These guys are so much fun because they love to sing and play as much as we love to listen!!
Josh man. You always make the guitar sing whatever song you play and Carsons voice is so fitting to this and all the other songs he covers. Nice one fellas!
I just found this, so GLAD I did! I was never a fan of Willy, too twangy for me; thus: Carson you sing this so Beautifully, I will be back to listen again. I Love the two of you making music together. It's just Heavenly. Thank you for Gracing us with the luxury of listening to you sing once again. Blessings to all~
How great is this!? Carson and Josh--you create and re-create music that can entertain, delight, console and sometimes touch hearts. God bless you both.
Finally got a chance to catch you guys in Holland on Sunday. You did not disappoint. Fantastic concert filled to the brim and overflowing with excellent musicianship, harmony and fun banter. Loved it all, but Folsom Prison Blues was a great way to close it out - Carson’s reaction to mixing up that third verse was classic. Look forward to your return visit to the Great State of Michigan. Oh, and thanks, Carson, for the shout out to us Spartan fans who took the loss to Duke hard. You feeling our pain helped soften the blow. All the best. ~ Mark & Karen
@@macedindu829 Yeah it didnt really seem fit the rest of the album much, but after hearing their B-Sides And Rarities album, it seems they really like doing old country covers.
Carson’s voice is wonderful in songs like this one.
He should restart a prairie home companion. He has the friends to do it.
So true 👍
Carson’s voice has the flavor of Willie from a long time ago. Does anyone know when Willie recorded this song?

Grandi!! Grandi!! Grandi!! Greetings from Italy. Carson, Josh (and his wife Kelly), Toni and Reina the best musical American youth!!!!!
I 100% agree, they both four great musicians. Kisses from Belgium God bless you all
Carson and Willie Nelson are a match made in heaven, not to mention Josh's wonderfully low key addition.
Great rendition, guys. Love your work.
Josh, that's one of the best impressions of a lap-steel guitar that I've ever heard.
L
I know! How did he do that??
I'm quite certain that he used a volume pedal to do fade-ins. Just like Carson and the others he performs with... the rest was skill.

Josh being Josh! He dialed in the tone and had a volume pedal. But trust me, that ain’t easy to replicate.
you taped the battery cover on !! it's been a good one,,,, the goog old stand by "ZOOM" mic --- ahh what a friend..
Doesn't get any more smooth. Carson and Josh, I'm pretty sure that Willie Nelson will approve.
Voices, and Carson's guitar as smooth as silk, but in stark contrast to Josh's guitar sound, the roughness of which was the perfect accompaniment.
Willie may be getting old, but his music never does. Wonderful cover from the both of you and I hope to hear you guys live someday.
I heard them live for the first time this month! They do NOT disappoint!
I finally did a couple of weeks ago. I'd highly recommend it!
Getting? Willie was born old, but still fantastic today.
I am a sad song and waltzes kind of guy and that hit the spot. Fantastic.

Ah, good ol' Carson's Country Corner! 😍
A track of Willy's that I hadn't heard before. Thank you Carson & Josh for your beautiful rendition.
Carson, Toni, Riena and Josh one of the best group, greetings from the Philippines
The Other Favorites are ALWAYS my favorites.
Josh and Carson are killer on everything! Really nice guys! These guys are so much fun because they love to
sing and play as much as we love to listen!!

Perfect song for a quiet, foggy gray spring morning here in Wisconsin! Thank you!

so incredibly beautiful
Very nice Carson. Willie has a treasure trove of awesome songs.
Another great collab from the QC boys. 🙏 I’m reminded of Sin City by the Flying Burrito Bros.
They take any song and raise the bar!👏👏👏👏💕💕
Wow guys that was great. Willie would be proud.
Nice job. It's great to hear younger folks show some proper appreciation for these types of songs. The slide was a nice surprise. Great sound.
I love the slide guitar Josh does ....and yes Carson has the right voice for this song. X💙💙
Caught you and Josh in Chicago last night, such a great show. Edwin was awesome too
Josh got that twangy guitar thing going, and I loved it.
That was nice, Guys. Willie just smiled and he didn't know quite why
Saw the other favorites in Dallas last month; absolutely brilliant performance. Amazing video as always!
How great is this!? Carson and Josh--you create and re-create music that can entertain, delight, console and sometimes touch hearts. God bless you both.
Thank you ♥️
The taste of guitar is awesome
Shotgun Willie is one of the most slept-on albums.

I sure do love you two singing and picking together! Simple, smooth and beautiful. Besr wishes from Tennessee.
Fantastic on so many levels.
I hope Willie gets the opportunity to hear this truly stellar cover. You nailed it guys! ❤
Awesome! I first heard Cake’s version 25 years ago. This is great
Samesies
lol same, had no idea it was a even a cover...cant believe that was 26 years ago...
@@acousticpsychosis to my shame, me neither. I always did think it was a bit strange for Cake to do a fully traditional Country song.
@@macedindu829 Yeah it didnt really seem fit the rest of the album much, but after hearing their B-Sides And Rarities album, it seems they really like doing old country covers.
@@acousticpsychosis FWIW, I really liked it, and thought and still think it's a great rendition.
Josh, you nailed a country steel guitar. 👏🏻
Good ole Willie Mckee!
Excellent, gentlemen
That is real country, so true to the genre. So well done, Josh and Carson!
We need more of this type of music! Love this cover guys!
Beautiful.
You guys add so much to a song when you cover it.
Bravo
