I’m 71 and, like you, I’ve been a fan of Bob’s since he began. Lately I’m a fan of Carson and Josh Turner too. Great kids with lots of talent and not afraid to work at it.
I saw Dylan when he went electric at the Newport Folk Festival 1965 in Rhode Island. Our house was so close it was like a free concert with the sound echoing off our back wall. I remember the boo's from the crowd Bob had Fender Stratocaster.He played a full set of R+R . I was a kid and had no idea my Sis and I were watching a big part of musical history. Oh time where did it all go.....
Carson has a much better voice than most top artist of today. He deserves a lot more recognition than he actually gets. Sing on Carson, we love you, man. 🎶🎵🇺🇸🤗

Only one other person has done this tune justice, and that was Dylan himself. I vote for your version over ALL the covers I've listened to. Great job, man.
I prefer covers where the artist leaves some kind of change to the song where they can call it their own. I think it almost achieves that. It sounds more modernly generic than the original, unfortunately.
Speaking as an old man who has been a Dylan fan since 1962, and who saw Dylan live when he first went electric in 1965, I congratulate you. This is a very fine cover. And it makes me happy to see that young people are still interested in Bob Dylan, and what he did for us all.
I'll second that from across the pond Perry. It was 66 in Birmingham England that I first saw him, and half the audience walked out when he went electric in the second half of the show. Also very much agree with your rating of young Carson here. Good job son.
@@kencrawford9199 As Dylan always said "The times they are a changing". I still listen to his music almost everyday. Right along with The Beatles, Lou Reed, Carol King.... Funny to think that I'm listing to music from
This is a marvelous version of the song. The way you perform it and the backdrop of the park turn this into one of the most beautiful things I've found on TH-cam. You're a wonderful musician, Carson.
Carson- I have listened to literally dozens of covers of this song. Many, many of them are absolutely unlistenable, and many are by singers trying to emulate Dylan, which is a shame, because, as this video shows, it's a very melodic song if given a chance. Yours is EASILY the finest cover of this beautiful, touching song. You have a fine voice, which is evident on many of the covers I've seen with you and Josh.
Checkout the Jeff Tweedy version from the movie I’m not there (Bob Dylan biopic). That also is really beautiful. But Carson version is my favourite too 😊
Carson, I should have left a comment on this back in the day. But...things were hard. Know that this post was one of the thing that helped me through that time. Beautiful rendition, and you are a beautiful soul. I've watched this at least 25 times. Thanks, bro.
It's like the guitar doesn't want to let go of the haunting melody with that final coda! Some unwelcome jarring on the open E-string sometimes - apart from that, perfect, marvellous, I never would have thought a Dylan cover could work for me but yes as others have said, this beautiful version does indeed bring out nuances which the Bobster himself could not. Thank you Carson!
This is such a great performance by a true artist. I especially enjoyed the extended introduction and closing bars. I love listening to you sing and play Carson. You make a lot of people happy.
Ryan Taylor I basically never pre-record audio...one, because I feel it would undermine the “you’re sitting here listening to me play” immediacy I like about my videos, and two, because it’s honestly harder to nail than just doing the damn thing live, especially if I’m just working with vox and guitar, hah! But seriously, I don’t blame you for thinking so-some aspects, like reverb and such, obviously don’t match the outdoor setting, but I’m a sucker for plate verb, so I included it anyway. There are also tricky tracks like “Take It Easy”, where I’m playing a G shape, but tuned down, so that it sounds like an E or something, and instances where I’ve dubbed in, like, one chord to mask a major flub (meaning there might be a half-second where my playing doesn’t match the video). But still-it’s pretty dang live if I can help it.
Yea, and when I learned this tune from this here video I felt obligated to throw in the neck scratch. Just feels right :-). Tho still couldn't hold a candle to his version. Haha.
This is a beautiful performance. I especially like the moment at 2:08 where Carson uses the "stop" in the lyric as a break-down moment and then calmly scratches himself until it's time to start playing again. Such calm! I've watched it a 100 times trying to cover Carson here. For the guitar players, here's what I think is happening: everything's tuned down 1/2 a step and then the following chord progression: E - E - Emaj7 - Emaj7 - E7 - E7 - Asus2 - Asus2 - Amin-add2 - Amin-add2 - | E - Emaj7 | - F#min7 - E -F#min7.
I really appreciate you posting this. I have been trying to figure this out myself. I figured it had to be alternative tuning somehow, but I couldn't get a handle on it. Also, I'm not sure why it matters, as it would be difficult to do the song this much justice. But that's the effect these guys have on me - they make me want to practice and try to emulate just a fraction of their talent.
You obviously know the guitar, so I wanted to ask this question, which may sound stupid but I don't know anything about the instrument and It's always bugged me. When guitarists are pressing the strings on the neck of the guitar to change the chords, sometimes their hand will be near the tuning pegs and sometimes near the sound hole depending on what chord is needed. Sometimes they need to change the chords rapidly from one end to the other which results in a squeak when the fingers slide along the length of the strings. Can't anything be done about this? That squeak sounds horrible and to me, ruins the tune.
@@donmiller2908 Man this is part of the character of a guitar, all these casual peripheral sounds from the instrument. In pop music nowadays they'll often be edited out but in my opinion it's a sweet part of the whole, physical expression of playing a guitar. Learn to love these quirks and chance squeals from her.
@@donmiller2908 Also as you become more practiced on the guitar, you'll find the squeaks hopefully diminish because your hand speed will increase enough so that rather than slid into or out of a chord shape, you'll come straight off the neck and then straight down. Well, that's the plan anyway. Takes practice but it can be done.
My first reaction was : another one not tuning to an open D, this is gonna sound flat. And then, the magic started. Dylan’s original already sent shivers down my neck, but yours nearly brought me to tears. That song was my best buddy’s favorite, he passed away 12 years ago.
The descending chord sequence at the start of this song is surely one of Dylan's greatest pieces of writing. I love "Blood on the Tracks", in my opinion it is his greatest album, filled with so many wonderful songs, SToF included. Thanks for this sensitive cover, Carson, even my beloved Joan Baez didn't do it as well as you do here....
The descending chord sequence (I - I maj7 - I7 - IV) is at the beginning of Home Again by Carole King that was on Tapestry as well. It's absolutely exquisite.

Musical chops like you won’t believe. Voice like a vintage oak barrel single malt. Face like a toddler struggling with a poo. The legend that is Carson McKee. Never change.
When you cover country: "this is my favorite version of Carson" When you cover classic rock: "this is my favorite version of Carson" When you cover folk: "this is my favorite version of Carson" Thanks for the update. This is a gem.
Dude the way you just embrace the emotions you feel with the song just emanates back to me (and all the viewers). Incredibly done, this is probably my favorite cover of yours. I keep coming back to it.
Great job man. I'm over 60 and alway hit the like button before listening because I know you never disappoint. Great song. Must confess that I was hopin' that dog would come over and join in the chorus! Lol. Hope you Josh, and all can get back out there enjoying your fans and your music.
I will join the chorus here and say that I'm 78 and have been a fan of Bob Dylan for I guess 50 years I'd like some of the other people who commented I don't usually like covers of his song but yours is really excellent I cover some of Bob Dylan songs myself on TH-cam but not this one because I haven't been able to figure out the chord sequence carry on young man and if music is your passion never let it slip away or one day you'll regret that just as I do
72 here. I like Nora Jones' cover of "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight". I learned it on guitar, 3 finger, and try to emulate Nora's piano playing. When I play at an open mic I always throw out the question "Anyone know who wrote this song?" Every once in a while someone knows, but not often. Like you, I've toyed with learning 'Twist of Fate' and now that I have heard this I think I'll go ahead and do it. Can't sing it in E though. Will have to drop it down to D but won't use drop D if I can't make those beautiful chords that Carson made. I might have to tune down the guitar
This is one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs, maybe in the top 10 or top 5. I love the teen Carson version and of course all the Dylan ones. But in this version Carson captured the poetry and deep delicacy of the lyrics like no one else. The drama of encounter and loss. Chance. The pain and the delight. Whenever I want to listen to Simple Twist of Fate I look for this page. Carson, you're a great singer not only because of technique, but because you understand, feel and sing the poems. Greetings from Brazil
HELP! It is now 1AM and I have binge watched your and Josh Turner's videos for the last 4 hours. I need to sleep... but just one or two more? Completely blown away. What incredible texture. So happy to see the younger generation embrace classic songs from a bye gone era.
Tried to add the original to one of my spotify playlists but got to say, your version is soo much better than anything else that I couldnt.. I will be coming back to your youtube!
You made it your own the moment you went to the high register, and let that sweetness shine, making a beautiful counterpoint to the bittersweet story of the song. One listen will not be enough!
That was great, man! The "vocal character" sure is prominent. If I didn't know of this song I would believe that it were your own. The sudden halt after the word "stopped" was so clever as was the gloomy drop on the word "anywhere" in the line "He didn't see her anywhere..". This is awe inspiring. Thanks for this video! You're doing something special

Wow! this guy is amazing. thats the best version of that song I've ever heard. for those of you who want to get better at performing with just an acoustic guitar...study this video. thanks my brother for giving us that.
You drove this complex song into some like a very clear mirror of its meaning. Thanks Bobby, but beautiful voice with a bluesy tang, you make so beautiful .
th-cam.com/video/2JCrx3LP78I/w-d-xo.html Watch at the two minute mark Watt Ed Bradley asks Bob Dylan and then Martin Scorsese covers the same topic later on in this video.
Such a fantastic cover of a really great song. The video location was absolutely perfect too. People in the background (with audibles) and a dog playing…. So good.
I have watched with keen interest for a decade. The vocal maturation and confidence is stunning. The Ensemble will hit huge. We can all say we listened when ...
For those who are wanting to play along by adding a melody line or just some nice licks his guitar is tuned down a half step and the song is in the key of Eb, or D# if you prefer.
I was in love with a girl while I listened to your beautiful cover. Unfortunately she was a bit younger than me, so she had to finish her major in chemistry in another far away city. Guess she was born too late for us to know each other well enough, but at least this song made me feel everything stronger and kept me company :) Thank you Carson.
What a beautiful cover of this song! When you sing Bob Dylan songs it really highlights what an incredible genius he is but also what an incredibly gifted musician and singer you are!
What a great song. One of the most purest voices I have heard. Hands down better than anything that has been on the radio for years!! Thanks for the great music during these crappy times!!
Beautiful song. Have been watching your beautiful renditions and other precious works of art for quite a long time. Brother, wish I could sing and play with you, Too far away...
I have always played this one in open E. Great job man. Glad to see the younger generation embracing such great music in these times. This makes me smile.
Carson, I can’t begin to tell you how much your version of Simple Twist of Fate has gotten me through hard time . . . Heartbreak. Dylan’s version is monumental but for me, your is definitive. I make documentary films and have done documentary-style music videos. This single take of yours is perfect. Thank you, Carson. You have touched my life and my heart.
I can't stop listening to you guys. It's like a new way of listening to music. Love the fact that you are just listening to one take, some dude in a park with super talent and skill. It's brilliant. Thankyou It's just beautiful.
I never heard this song before. I had the computer running and heard it. The song and the way you played was so heart wrenching. Thanks for giving me a Near Breakdown. ;)
Man , I like all of your comments . That was awesome. Your voice has the tone of that sweet little Eastman. Very organically done . As if you were in every moment . That's your gift easily. I am currently learning this tune in open D capo 2. I came across it yesterday for the first time and dropped everything including the tuning to learn it. Bob Dylan from my generation shook the world with his honesty and poetry . I'm so happy to have heard this song. It strikes a chord with me too. A simple twist of fate gets me here.
I only came across Carson , Josh, Reina and Toni this week. Beautiful covers performed with skill, panache, enthusiasm, and warmth. So uplifting at any time. Ty ! (I hope everyone listening and watching listens to Blood on the Tracks. 😀
I don’t usually like cover songs of Bob Dylan - but this version is as good or better than the original. Your voice is beautiful, intriguing and genuine, without apparent effort. Thank you ... awesome!!
Bravo Carson !👏👏👏👏👏 this is a great sweet and delicate cover of that beautiful song by Bob Dylan whom I admire most … You are doing a great singing job , keep on keeping on
I'm 71 yo and have followed Dylan for decades. Just saw this. Best cover of this song. Very subtle and sweet.

I’m a hardcore Dylan fan for almost 60 years now but Carson, you did a beautiful job with this song.
I saw Dylan when he went electric at the Newport Folk Festival 1965 in Rhode Island.

full set of R+R . I was a kid and had no idea my Sis and I were watching a big part of

Dude the way you just embrace the emotions you feel with the song just emanates back to me (and all the viewers). Incredibly done, this is probably my favorite cover of yours. I keep coming back to it.
Me too!
The 20th or 30th time I’ve come back to this masterpiece of music and film. Just brilliant.
I just can't no no no I just cannot. It's stunning Lee simple and humble and beautiful..
The best cover of this classic Dylan song I've heard. The delicate vocal nuances really suits the lyric.
My goodness, this is when a person truly does justice to a song with their cover-an absolutely beautiful interpretation.
No bullshit here. This McKee/Dylan collaboration put a smile on my face. So smooth and easy on the ears. Thanks Carson.
This guy us for Real.
Excellent job, complete with mother nature adding a simple accompaniment of cicadas doing their thing. It couldn't have been planned any better.
Great job man. I'm over 60 and alway hit the like button before listening because I know you never disappoint. Great song. Must confess that I was hopin' that dog would come over and join in the chorus! Lol. Hope you Josh, and all can get back out there enjoying your fans and your music.
Carson is quite possibly the best male folk/Americana vocalist we have seen in the last 50 years.
I will join the chorus here and say that I'm 78 and have been a fan of Bob Dylan for I guess 50 years I'd like some of the other people who commented I don't usually like covers of his song but yours is really excellent I cover some of Bob Dylan songs myself on TH-cam but not this one because I haven't been able to figure out the chord sequence carry on young man and if music is your passion never let it slip away or one day you'll regret that just as I do
72 here. I like Nora Jones' cover of "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight". I learned it on guitar, 3 finger, and try to emulate Nora's piano playing. When I play at an open mic I always throw out the question "Anyone know who wrote this song?" Every once in a while someone knows, but not often. Like you, I've toyed with learning 'Twist of Fate' and now that I have heard this I think I'll go ahead and do it. Can't sing it in E though. Will have to drop it down to D but won't use drop D if I can't make those beautiful chords that Carson made. I might have to tune down the guitar
This is the best cover I’ve ever heard of this song.
Beautiful cover of a song I've enjoyed over the past 45 years.
You are blessed, Carson! Thank you for blessing us by sharing your beautiful music! ♥️
Just makes me think….”what the F..k what would we done without Mr Dylan in our lives”……Brilliantly played as always by Carson.
An absolutely drop-dead brilliant cover.
This is one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs, maybe in the top 10 or top 5. I love the teen Carson version and of course all the Dylan ones. But in this version Carson captured the poetry and deep delicacy of the lyrics like no one else. The drama of encounter and loss. Chance. The pain and the delight. Whenever I want to listen to Simple Twist of Fate I look for this page. Carson, you're a great singer not only because of technique, but because you understand, feel and sing the poems. Greetings from Brazil
Im with you on that brother
Definitely one of my top thousand Bob Dylan songs
Greetings from the south coast of South Africa
I don't see how anybody could do a better cover of this song, even Bob Dylan. This is just magnificent Carson. Keep up the great work !
HELP! It is now 1AM and I have binge watched your and Josh Turner's videos for the last 4 hours. I need to sleep... but just one or two more? Completely blown away. What incredible texture. So happy to see the younger generation embrace classic songs from a bye gone era.
Sleep is highly over~rated.
~ me have to make friend with. Insomnia.~~~~

Tried to add the original to one of my spotify playlists but got to say, your version is soo much better than anything else that I couldnt.. I will be coming back to your youtube!
You made it your own the moment you went to the high register, and let that sweetness shine, making a beautiful counterpoint to the bittersweet story of the song. One listen will not be enough!
A lovely version of another of the masterpieces from "Blood on the Tracks".
That was great, man! The "vocal character" sure is prominent. If I didn't know of this song I would believe that it were your own. The sudden halt after the word "stopped" was so clever as was the gloomy drop on the word "anywhere" in the line "He didn't see her anywhere..". This is awe inspiring. Thanks for this video! You're doing something special
Thank you so much for being a good fan of mine I really appreciate if you wish to message me on hangout here is my gmail below

It's half past one in the morning in Italy. But that's not important I watched the video anyway. Good job as always!!
Eh sì, Carson e i suoi pards sono davvero qualcosa di incredibilmente piacevole....keep it up the great playing and singing, buddy!
È solo l’una e pochi, da me... 4 giorni più tardi :~}

One of the best Dylan songs… beautifully done
LOVING YOURBEAUTIFUL SOUL Mr. Carson McKee~ thank you for being you beautiful human !!!
Never gets old in any of the 10,000 times I’ve watched this. Just brilliant.
Wow! this guy is amazing. thats the best version of that song I've ever heard. for those of you who want to get better at performing with just an acoustic guitar...study this video. thanks my brother for giving us that.
Brilliant cover Carson - your love of the poet Bob shines through.
I love the vocal presence and phrasing. Wonderful voice. (I think this park atmosphere conspired to make it such a delicate version) ❤
You drove this complex song into some like a very clear mirror of its meaning. Thanks Bobby, but beautiful voice with a bluesy tang, you make so beautiful .
I saw Dylan sing this live this past December, such aa beautiful song and such a great rendition!
th-cam.com/video/2JCrx3LP78I/w-d-xo.html Watch at the two minute mark Watt Ed Bradley asks Bob Dylan and then Martin Scorsese covers the same topic later on in this video.
Such a fantastic cover of a really great song. The video location was absolutely perfect too. People in the background (with audibles) and a dog playing…. So good.
I have watched with keen interest for a decade. The vocal maturation and confidence is stunning. The Ensemble will hit huge. We can all say we listened when ...
For those who are wanting to play along by adding a melody line or just some nice licks his guitar is tuned down a half step and the song is in the key of Eb, or D# if you prefer.
I was in love with a girl while I listened to your beautiful cover.
Unfortunately she was a bit younger than me, so she had to finish her major in chemistry in another far away city.
Guess she was born too late for us to know each other well enough, but at least this song made me feel everything stronger and kept me company :) Thank you Carson.
What a beautiful cover of this song! When you sing Bob Dylan songs it really highlights what an incredible genius he is but also what an incredibly gifted musician and singer you are!
What a great song. One of the most purest voices I have heard. Hands down better than anything that has been on the radio for years!! Thanks for the great music during these crappy times!!
Dang, Carson. Dylan wrote my favorite songs and I can't describe how much I like your voice. Thanks for the new cover.
Beautiful song. Have been watching your beautiful renditions and other precious works of art for quite a long time. Brother, wish I could sing and play with you, Too far away...
Lovely version. With all the melancholy and sense of irony that was written into the song.
I have always played this one in open E. Great job man. Glad to see the younger generation embracing such great music in these times. This makes me smile.
Wow, you made it your own mate..
Well done, beautiful 🤗🤗
Carson, I can’t begin to tell you how much your version of Simple Twist of Fate has gotten me through hard time . . . Heartbreak. Dylan’s version is monumental but for me, your is definitive. I make documentary films and have done documentary-style music videos. This single take of yours is perfect. Thank you, Carson. You have touched my life and my heart.
I can't stop listening to you guys. It's like a new way of listening to music. Love the fact that you are just listening to one take, some dude in a park with super talent and skill. It's brilliant. Thankyou It's just beautiful.
Amazing how well that man wrote and just paints a picture with such simple words
I love how your voice owns each moment. Just wonderful
Man I’d love to hear your take on some Townes van Zandt stuff. Such a great voice keep it up
Beautifully done. Thank you for sharing and it’s heartwarming to know that Dylan’s music lives in young artists with old souls like you and Josh.
I always get back to this video.. it gives me a lot of peace, dont know why..
I never heard this song before. I had the computer running and heard it. The song and the way you played was so heart wrenching. Thanks for giving me a Near Breakdown. ;)
Love hearing a little commentary with the songs. Also that Eastman with big open chords sounds intoxicating
So well played and sung, such a terrific cover Carson
So clean and effortless. Thank you young man.
Man , I like all of your comments . That was awesome. Your voice has the tone of that sweet little Eastman. Very organically done . As if you were in every moment . That's your gift easily.
I am currently learning this tune in open D capo 2. I came across it yesterday for the first time and dropped everything including the tuning to learn it.
Bob Dylan from my generation shook the world with his honesty and poetry .
I'm so happy to have heard this song. It strikes a chord with me too.
A simple twist of fate gets me here.
What is that mic your using? Is that the Eastman 20 / rosewood ? What a sound
I listen to this over and over. You have great talent! I did not appreciate Dylan until I saw your music. Outstanding!
I only came across Carson , Josh, Reina and Toni this week. Beautiful covers performed with skill, panache, enthusiasm, and warmth. So uplifting at any time. Ty ! (I hope everyone listening and watching listens to Blood on the Tracks. 😀
It so clear how intimate you’re are with this song. Beautiful!
A really really nice job.
Especially on the "freeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiight train" part
One of favorite Dylan songs and this is a fine version. Nice guitar style.
How cool would it be to be walking through a park and run into Carson jamming? Only thing cooler would be to have my guitar with me.
I don’t usually like cover songs of Bob Dylan - but this version is as good or better than the original. Your voice is beautiful, intriguing and genuine, without apparent effort. Thank you ... awesome!!
Bravo Carson !👏👏👏👏👏 this is a great sweet and delicate cover of that beautiful song by Bob Dylan whom I admire most …
You are doing a great singing job , keep on keeping on
Hi Danielle💐💐💐
Probably one of your best, Carson. Kudos, my friend. Keep on keepin' on....
Your voice takes us somewhere good somewhere it's cool to go with you.... What a gift....!
Fantastic cover of a fantastic song. My go to TH-cam song at the minute. Wish my version was anywhere near this level. Well done 👏
