Now you just need to take a time machine back to 1951, leave this track sat by the gramophone, and you’ll come back to 2022 to find it’s a Christmas classic! Great work all 🎄
I didn't think it was possible for Allison's voice to get any better, but I'm hearing some delightful strength and control that wasn't there in years past. She literally sounds like one of the greats of the silver screen era, a vocalist whom studios back in the day would fight over. And loved the outtro. I thought this would be the scene with the tree where Josh dropped the hubcap full of lug nuts and yelled 'Fudge!' :)
I was thinking the exactly the same. I didn’t think her voice could get any better but it did. I think she singing more from her chest. She had a throaty wispy quality to voice before. She is nailing those notes! Beautiful!!
I noticed that also! She’s young still, so of course her voice will deepen and develop; as will her skill at controlling it. Allison has all the tools and major potential, all she needs is a lucky break!
Alison’s touring performances during the post pandemic period put the finishing touches on her beautiful distinctive voice. Clear the stage, Allison has arrived!
Agree. A lot of that has to do with Josh's innate sense of arrangement and accompaniment. Not to much, not too loud...But with all the crappy, overpriced and undertalented singers out there (there are a handful of good ones), they are usually all fad and no talent. Allison is all talent and no fad.
I don't know if Allison is consciously doing something different or if her voice has simply matured, but her singing on this piece is totally different. There's a wonderful quality in her voice that wasn't there before and has turned her into .... a SINGER! Whatever you're doing Allison, keep it up - you're singing to us. I haven't heard anyone around with a voice like that. Stay with it and stay YOU!
She's so natural on camera, elegant, classy, and talented. You are finding great musicians Josh. Building a community to last you a life time of music.
Yes, she's superb. I've waited decades to see someone like this capture the authenticity and style of the genre. There are so few that are young that can accomplish this.
I am so glad the Josh and Allison found each other. Both have grown with each other’s music. I knew from her earlier videos that Allison can play the guitar but this video shows that she plays the piano. She of course is and should be the lead singer. I am struck by Josh’s reticence, his musical taste, and his unselfishness, which is a mark of a great guitarist. And, yes, Allison’s voice is getting better with age and maturity.
- and she is even better than the original swing singers, being totally relaxed, her voice so smooth and just easy. No pushing or straining, as if singing is as simple as breathing out...
How is it possible for Allison's voice to get ever better? She's got a rich, resonant contralto in this song I've never heard in her before. And Josh is a master of any musical genre (as is Allison) with his creative, melodic soloing. Of course, he's a great singer as well. But among their talents, one is often overlooked during the glowing comments on their videos. Both of them are fabulous songwriters. This song and the songs on their EP is ample proof of that.
I can't believe this is an original, I thought it was a cover. What a phenomenal Christmas song, seriously guys, If it doesn't make it this year then promote & release it next year cos it has the symptoms of a classic.
So I’m listening to this thinking “wow, what an amazing song! How come I haven’t heard that before?” and then it turns out that’s because it’s an original of Allison! Was gonna say that I love your version of the song, but now it needs to be said that not only the arrangement, performance, solos and screenplay are top notch, but the song itself is just super cool and classy!:) Thank you for sharing this!
You know the thing that kills me is Allison’s pitch. Her voice doesn’t even waver with pitch issues. I can’t detect any pitch correction being used. So refreshing. So many singers these days totally squash there vocals with compression & auto tune. Allison is a true talent. Of course your guitar Josh is second to none.
This is absolutely delightful! I'm picturing Ms. Young in 1940s attire and singing to the troops in Europe during the war my dad was in. God bless her and the band for this!
This is just wonderful! The arrangement is fantastic and Allison does an absolutely beautiful job on the vocal. I'm so glad she didn't over sing this. Her tone and control were perfect.
Blown away by the voice. This is from a different era. Today female singers sound like wounded animals, but Allison sounds dreamy, warm and strong. I hear Ella, Patsy, Rita Hayworth, the goddesses I missed because I wasn’t born yet. ❤
It's NOT from a different era. It's from now. The fact that it sounds like things sounded in the past doesn't make it "from a different era." It's current.
Loved the song. Josh and Allison are magic together. Had me grinning when the camera guy (Josh’s wife?) lost it during the drum solo. The drummer is a character for sure. Instant Christmas classic.
Allison Young is the classic 1940's singer. So talented! Josh on guitar, amazing! Love the piano, guitar, bass and drum highlights. This was an excellent recording. Josh on drums, and Russell on Bass! Very well done.
I'm the ultimate "grinch" - hate Xmas and Xmas music SO much....but I loved this song, just went with the "every day" part and told myself it was only referring to Xmas fake "happiness" - and we should feel like that ALWAYS. Just stumbled on the "Bygones" a few hours, been watching their videos ever since. They are making timeless music - a classic act. Ms Young is the best vocalist I've heard in a long time, I could listen to her all night (probably will)......cheers!
That was just fabulous. I feel like I should be sitting in a tux at a small table in a ritzy 40's jazz club, while it snows outside, sipping a dirty martini with my beloved by my side, watching Allison sing, all dolled up in a evening dress on center stage, with Danny Kaye and Vera-Ellen spinning weightlessly across the dance floor... 🎄😊🎄
Outstanding, such outstanding talent. Class total class, you kids give hope to the new generation. I can say that cuz I’m a 77 yr old geezer who’s covered a few miles. Happy Holidays ......... Kids 😃
Heard this last year, loved it. Now christmas again, time for me to go all around TH-cam to listen to my favourite holiday songs. This was my first stop. The drummer doesn't get enough credit, that was so sensitive and pure and just hearfelt. Plus, he looks like the nicest dude ever. Merry christmas to all of you :)
I don't know how these two found one another but Josh scored big time partnering with Allison. She has a great voice and incomparable presence while performing. You guys are great together. Good luck with your tour.
I love this song and I love Alison's voice. I agree with all the other comments that Alison's previously great voice is now one of the richest female voices of all time. I think its because you are allowing yourself to to sing lower notes which gives it such a warmth and richness. And the song should be a classic too! Bravo and thank you. I can't wait for more.
Shout to Josh fabulous as always. Special shout out to the bass player, I could actually hear you and it was really nice. Now that drummer, he is so creative with the unconventional use of the cymbals! It was all so delightful!
Allison, i'm 68 years old , i'm from BRASIL, you're one of The best singers in the world! And you, Joshua , are a phenomenon !! If you ever come to BRAZIL , I'll be in the front row
This girl is a throwback from the golden era of musicals with all the old greats that I grew up watching. Her voice and her face, timelessly beautiful. Thats it, my texted serenade to beauty.
Allison's voice hardens back to great band singers like Rosemary Clooney and Ella's Fitzgerald. She is a true talent and I look forward to hearing more from this group. A great sound!
Allison, Josh, and their community of artists produce the consistently best and most uplifting content anywhere. Thank you so much for this beautiful piece!
I found this channel thanks to a collab with Allison and Josh, and I have to say, I think my favorite thing about Josh is that he's so tremendously versatile musically, and he puts out so much content that is genuinely throwback or off current musical meta. It's an unfortunate fact of human nature that most people just kind of follow the herd, but with Josh, I have someone that reliably produces somewhat mainstream stuff, some oddball stuff that I like, and some oddball stuff I'm unfamiliar with, but almost always enjoy. He's such a great muscian that he's like a living conduit to challenging your tastes and taking you out of your comfort zone.
Hi musicians, from The Netherlands we wish you nice days in this "dark" month december and in the end Happy Christmas days!! BY the way, BEAUTIFUL SONG! THANKS voor some Jazzy!! 🌨️🌨️🌤️❄️❄️❄️
Josh + Allison = Christmas Fudge + Divinity all rolled up into one. I'm ashamed to say how many times I played this song straight through. It sounded like a classic, because... well, it is one now!
GREAT JOB EVERYONE. Seriously, all the guys were on it. Josh, gotta love the way you can fill up so much air with such tasteful playing. I honestly just do not understand how Allisons vocal treatments get better and better. Remarkable. Wouldn't think it possible to improve on what we have been hearing from her for the last several years. You guys just keep setting a new limit for yourselves and then leaping past it. Great song as well Allison. Can understand you both wanting to create new stuff, but please, please don't let that stop us from hearing you. Anything. Originals (old or new), covers, heck menus. Thank you for sharing guys. Y'all stay safe and well, and Have Yourselves a Merry Little Christmas. Happy Holidays!
I always look forward to Josh's Christmas release and anytime Allison is involved you know it's going to be awesome and today we get both rolled up into one!
THE BYGONES ARE GOING ON TOUR! TICKETS: thebygonesband.com/Shows
Now you just need to take a time machine back to 1951, leave this track sat by the gramophone, and you’ll come back to 2022 to find it’s a Christmas classic! Great work all 🎄
Who out of the 8 billion people in the world doesn't love Allison Young??
0:43 Waving cat tree topper! ❤ Lovely song Allison--the world needs more Bygones.
Old school, This young lady is the greatest voice I have heard in years. She's the next Superstar.
Allison Young would have turned the world on it's head in the 40s. A great voice.
I MUST, MUST, MUST, compliment the drummer. EXCELLENT!
And the bass player!
Agreed.
You're all magical... but it's the lucky cat's arm swinging to the beat that really did it for me.
I haven't watched Josh's channel for a while and in the meantime he's gone back in time to about 1940 and recruited the best singer in America
I didn't think it was possible for Allison's voice to get any better, but I'm hearing some delightful strength and control that wasn't there in years past. She literally sounds like one of the greats of the silver screen era, a vocalist whom studios back in the day would fight over. And loved the outtro.

You're on the money. 100%
Alison’s touring performances during the post pandemic period put the finishing touches on her beautiful distinctive voice. Clear the stage, Allison has arrived!
Doris Day's got nothing on her.
I love Allison’s voice. It’s so warm and exciting. Josh is a maestro.
Finally a new and original Christmas Classic!
We only had to wait 70 years to get there...
Allison Young is fantastic in everything she does, but there is some special magic when she collaborates with Josh Turner. I just love it.
Agree. A lot of that has to do with Josh's innate sense of arrangement and accompaniment. Not to much, not too loud...But with all the crappy, overpriced and undertalented singers out there (there are a handful of good ones), they are usually all fad and no talent. Allison is all talent and no fad.
Exactly.
Also, I am a fan of the air whoosh part of the drum solo!
So agree! Those two really have a chemistry that can't be matched.
Josh seems to bring out the best in everyone he works with
Her voice is DIVINE.
I would listen to her voice every day of the year.
This really sounds like something from the 1940s. Great composition Allison! Wow!
Why can't I like this video every time I watch it? (like 5 times a day!)
Allison has truly found her voice. Everything about this song is simply magical! This needs to become a Christmas classic.
Couldn't agree more!!
I don't know if Allison is consciously doing something different or if her voice has simply matured, but her singing on this piece is totally different. There's a wonderful quality in her voice that wasn't there before and has turned her into .... a SINGER! Whatever you're doing Allison, keep it up - you're singing to us. I haven't heard anyone around with a voice like that. Stay with it and stay YOU!
she wrote this...
Best Xmas Ever !
Holy shit. Y’all are making some of the most vital American music of our generation. Endless respect.
She's so natural on camera, elegant, classy, and talented. You are finding great musicians Josh. Building a community to last you a life time of music.
Yes, she's superb. I've waited decades to see someone like this capture the authenticity and style of the genre. There are so few that are young that can accomplish this.

I just saw them (as The Bygones) last night in DC and they included this song. Great performance, great set.
The quality of her voice is amazing
If you put Allison on stage singing in a black & white film starring Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers I would never know that she was from 2022. Timeless.
- and she is even better than the original swing singers, being totally relaxed, her voice so smooth and just easy. No pushing or straining, as if singing is as simple as breathing out...
Allison's voice is so nice could listen all day !!
How is it possible for Allison's voice to get ever better? She's got a rich, resonant contralto in this song I've never heard in her before. And Josh is a master of any musical genre (as is Allison) with his creative, melodic soloing. Of course, he's a great singer as well.
But among their talents, one is often overlooked during the glowing comments on their videos. Both of them are fabulous songwriters. This song and the songs on their EP is ample proof of that.
Absolutely - her voice and cadence has reached perfection for this genre of music.
I can't believe this is an original, I thought it was a cover. What a phenomenal Christmas song, seriously guys, If it doesn't make it this year then promote & release it next year cos it has the symptoms of a classic.

You know the thing that kills me is Allison’s pitch. Her voice doesn’t even waver with pitch issues. I can’t detect any pitch correction being used. So refreshing. So many singers these days totally squash there vocals with compression & auto tune. Allison is a true talent. Of course your guitar Josh is second to none.
I have noticed her pitch too, and lack of corrections.
Delightful to watch and hear this group of super talents, even years after they’ve performed. Thanks for sharing online.
This is absolutely delightful! I'm picturing Ms. Young in 1940s attire and singing to the troops in Europe during the war my dad was in. God bless her and the band for this!
Allison and Josh are two of the most wonderful talents around today. Thank you for this!
This is just wonderful! The arrangement is fantastic and Allison does an absolutely beautiful job on the vocal. I'm so glad she didn't over sing this. Her tone and control were perfect.
I could listen to her sing all day long!
Blown away by the voice. This is from a different era. Today female singers sound like wounded animals, but Allison sounds dreamy, warm and strong. I hear Ella, Patsy, Rita Hayworth, the goddesses I missed because I wasn’t born yet. ❤
Hey, there's no need to tear vocalists down to compliment another!
@@lydia129 Down? I though that was a compliment!
Yea OK OK, kiddin'... a little.
@@lydia129 no, but it’s fun, unlike you. Horrible thing isn’t it, free speech.
It's NOT from a different era. It's from now. The fact that it sounds like things sounded in the past doesn't make it "from a different era." It's current.
Loved the song. Josh and Allison are magic together. Had me grinning when the camera guy (Josh’s wife?) lost it during the drum solo. The drummer is a character for sure. Instant Christmas classic.
This is the stuff of authentic star quality.
Allison Young is the classic 1940's singer. So talented! Josh on guitar, amazing! Love the piano, guitar, bass and drum highlights. This was an excellent recording. Josh on drums, and Russell on Bass! Very well done.
Loving this after Christmas in 2025!!!
I just discovered my new FAVORITE Christmas song!
I've said it before and I'll say it again: the two of you performing music together is magical.
Great job everyone. Allison's voice is great as always. And the quietest drum solo ever?!
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. It is cold, damp and dark here in the UK but that song made things better for a few minutes.
I swear Allison was born about 70 years too late! She sings the old standards like she is back in that time.
And in this case it's even a new standard she wrote herself.
Your music makes me nostalgic for a life I've never lived.
I sense a Christmas classic in the making!
ooooh - that Allison - it's Christmas !
...nada mas iniciar, esa voz, se robo mi corazon...
I'm the ultimate "grinch" - hate Xmas and Xmas music SO much....but I loved this song, just went with the "every day" part and told myself it was only referring to Xmas fake "happiness" - and we should feel like that ALWAYS. Just stumbled on the "Bygones" a few hours, been watching their videos ever since. They are making timeless music - a classic act. Ms Young is the best vocalist I've heard in a long time, I could listen to her all night (probably will)......cheers!
Here singing is like gold in my ears. Amicing young people ❤
Reminds me of the old 1940's sound. Pretty awesome job thanks.
This is the best (or at least the most original) drums solo I've ever seen! (2:20) hahaha. Great job guys!
Bump
woo!
Very fun!
Air drums.
That was just fabulous. I feel like I should be sitting in a tux at a small table in a ritzy 40's jazz club, while it snows outside, sipping a dirty martini with my beloved by my side, watching Allison sing, all dolled up in a evening dress on center stage, with Danny Kaye and Vera-Ellen spinning weightlessly across the dance floor... 🎄😊🎄
PLEASE Make a whole seasonal album with this group!
Outstanding, such outstanding talent. Class total class, you kids give hope to the new generation. I can say that cuz I’m a 77 yr old geezer who’s covered a few miles. Happy Holidays ......... Kids 😃
Allison your voice is heavenly ... pure
Heard this last year, loved it.
Now christmas again, time for me to go all around TH-cam to listen to my favourite holiday songs.
This was my first stop. The drummer doesn't get enough credit, that was so sensitive and pure and just hearfelt. Plus, he looks like the nicest dude ever.
Merry christmas to all of you :)
Kelly's infectious giggle slays me. By the way. The music is excellent too.
I don't know how these two found one another but Josh scored big time partnering with Allison. She has a great voice and incomparable presence while performing. You guys are great together. Good luck with your tour.
Dude... that "drum solo"...
Yes. Very yes.
Oh wow.. Just visit the 40's era... 🎶
Allison's voice in that register is like warm honey - nothing short of spectacular.
I love this song and I love Alison's voice. I agree with all the other comments that Alison's previously great voice is now one of the richest female voices of all time. I think its because you are allowing yourself to to sing lower notes which gives it such a warmth and richness. And the song should be a classic too! Bravo and thank you. I can't wait for more.
That Oktava ML-219 microphone and Allison's voice is pure magic! Excellent well-written song.... I love it!
At least the Russians do some things right...
Allison is magic.
Reminds me of vintage, nostalgic, great golden oldie song Allison - Josh and you are GREAT together!
This thing works as well when listened to in spring.
What voice., unsurpassed.
That voice is like breathing fresh air on a winter morning. Their is no One on the internet who can do that...just amazing.
That drum solo was 🔥
I hope they are making lots of money on their channel. In times past Allison would be in musicals, TV variety shows and Christmas specials.
Shout to Josh fabulous as always. Special shout out to the bass player, I could actually hear you and it was really nice. Now that drummer, he is so creative with the unconventional use of the cymbals! It was all so delightful!
Ditto on all these comments, Merry Christmas to all.
The boy can play guitar. What a great vocal number. Allison’s voice is perfect for the style. Well played
Allison, i'm 68 years old , i'm from BRASIL, you're one of The best singers in the world!
And you, Joshua , are a phenomenon !!
If you ever come to BRAZIL , I'll be in the front row

Allison, Josh, and their community of artists produce the consistently best and most uplifting content anywhere. Thank you so much for this beautiful piece!
That's a tough song to sing but she nailed it. To be honest, Allison nails just about everything she sings. What an artist!
MAN!!! What a Merry Christmas party would be with this great group of wonderfully multitalented young people!!!🎵🎶😍❤🥂👍HO! HO! HO!🎄🎅
I love Allison so much. Thank you for the Christmas song.

Thank you Allison, Josh, et al.
This is just beautiful.
Wow. Just Wow - what a voice. And any production involving Josh is never going to disappoint. As soon as Allison starts singing - all smiles from me.
I had no idea it was an original when I listened to it...nice writing by Allison!
That has to be one of THE most creative drum solos I've EVER seen!!!!!
Hi musicians, from The Netherlands we wish you nice days in this "dark" month december and in the end Happy Christmas days!!
BY the way, BEAUTIFUL SONG! THANKS voor some Jazzy!! 🌨️🌨️🌤️❄️❄️❄️
Visiting your country next spring. Where can I find live music like this?
Have a lot of fun Carsten! 🙃😃
What this piece needs is some serious airtime. It has all the elements to become a “Christmas Classic!”
Josh + Allison = Christmas Fudge + Divinity all rolled up into one. I'm ashamed to say how many times I played this song straight through. It sounded like a classic, because... well, it is one now!
I would love some CDs by her and Josh, but I am old & old fashioned. Don't want to create a playlist.
Great music! Loved it
Magic. Just magic. Thank you for brightening our snowy day today.
Her lovely voice is effortless. She has the vibe of a Jo Stafford.
i knew how good josh is,......now i know Allison is other-worldly " !!!!
that series of solos in the mid is gooooooood. but hellllllllll, there's some chemistry between our main man josh and allison.
Not much love in the comments for the bass player, listen to it again folks and admire the skill level... Great job by all! Thank you Russell
Fabulous, one day Allison take the time out to sing Cry me a River.
GREAT JOB EVERYONE. Seriously, all the guys were on it. Josh, gotta love the way you can fill up so much air with such tasteful playing. I honestly just do not understand how Allisons vocal treatments get better and better. Remarkable.

Well said @jeffdetmer4681! Yeah menus, phone books (remember those?), instruction manuals... 😉
Such great bass playing. Love it
I'll try to listen to this only 3 or 4 times today. (Yesterday was a lot more than that.)
I always look forward to Josh's Christmas release and anytime Allison is involved you know it's going to be awesome and today we get both rolled up into one!
