Rarely watch versions of songs. Even more rarely hit the “like”. Never comment. I’ll have to say, this is one of the prettiest and most respectful versions I’ve ever heard. I will be listening to this time and time again for many years to come. Each and every part of it is simply beautiful.
I do so much research on Blaze Foley's music and the fact that so many young people are recording his music. This is one of the best. Such a beautiful, soulful voice. Great career awaits. Well done. 👍👍👍
Yes. The open tuning adds such a richness to the song. So many great versions out there but this , in my opinion, duplicates the emotion that Foley must have written into it.
If Blaze Foley could of heard you sing his song so pretty.... just maybe he would say it was all worth while after all. The poor guy never seemed to catch a break.
Courtney you really respected the song,6 yrs ago did u think u would move someones feelings during tough times like these,thank you! wouldn't change a thing,the guitar so perfect,beautiful woman's voice to awesome simple understandable lyrics.not a change but add the harmonica and you'll be on a lot of playlists twice with this one song.now i have to go watch your other performances and we all hope blaze heard this.love it.
What a beautiful voice, and great song. The best rendition of this song I personally have ever heard and I think I have listened to them all. Mr. Foley wrote it, and he was a very good writer and artist. I think he did a very fine job of his song. He gave it his feel. You, young lady have your own style and that is so very important. You are who you are. Beautiful!
Blaze didnt actually write it. A gentleman called Michael David Fuller wrote this song and it was given to country artist Merle Haggard long before Blaze did his cover version.
From TH-cam video in her bedroom to big star - WOW-ing us all on the the top BBC live music show here in the U.K. ('Later') and what you see on the KEXP sessions. It's how it should be --- Well Deserved!
@@TheInfluences You're welcome! No, I haven't, but I will take a listen! Thanks for the recommendation. I've just heard Demi Marriner's voice and music last night too (as part of the AMAUK). Also crazy good!
At Last!...someone with a natural intact universal spirit hat sings this song like it's supposed to be sung...you have a BIG Heart & an old soul Courtney..Isle of View & cheers
Wow, I think a couple of unintended chord changes but you have magic in you voice and in your playing. I will forward this as I believe you are destined for big things. This is one of my favorite songs and you did it justice.
You made a Merle Haggard song sound like it was being sung by an ANGEL from Heaven. I just fell in love with your voice the moment you started singing. Keep up with your singing, as you age your voice will become stronger and better. God Bless You
Priceless.

Nothing but tears of joy here.

Thanks for watching Rina. Do check out Courtney's amazing records. She's nominated for a Grammy this year.
Beautiful!
Blaze Foley would love this, as I do. Great performance. And in the gorgeous open G. Stunning really.

I wish I read this post before spend 40 minutes trying to figure out what kind of chords she is plucking .. hahahhah

Jamie Corstorphine Michael David Fuller was Blaze Foley’s given name. He definitely wrote and Merle covered it.
Jamie Corstorphine that was Blaze 😏

Actually it was written by Blaze Foley.
Merle Haggard had nothing to do with this other than having the good fortune to be given this simple but beautiful song by its author Blaze Foley....
its a blaze foley song
Doing justice to a great great song....
Joni Mitchell like in that performance. You have given this beautiful Blaze Foley song a lovely twist. I love it.
Well played young lady
Wow!

This is the best version of this song out there..gifted musician
You have a special gift givin by some body very cool
SWEEEET
She's properly good.
Blaze would come out from under the pool table for that one! I guarantee it! Lol. Just beautiful!
I gather she was in a bad place personally when this was filmed. No wonder it feels so real
Will you marry me please?
