I remember hearing this song in a movie for the first time in the 80’s… and just being SPELLBOUND…. This version is Magical. Absolutely beautiful. Truly a TREASURE🎸🎸🩵🩷💚
Crying was a huge hit from my youth. First it was Roy himself; then I discovered Roy and k.d.Lang and knew Crying could never get any better, ever. But, Joe, now that I have discovered you I know that the angels are not yet through giving us Crying goosebumps. You nailed it, Joe. Thank you, angels, for giving us Joe Crying, too.
There are 10 Roy Orbison fans that only want to hear Roy sing it. I was like that for many, many years. About 3 years ago I decided to hear other people sing his songs. I listened to some big name entertainers. They were good, but they also had more than one guitar ! I'm sorry I missed you back then. That was a magnificent !! Beside your voice sounding like Roy's, it the way you deliver it, like Roy !!! In the late 60's I bought the album - "Arlene Hardin sings Roy Orbison". If you are not familiar with her you can see her on Y T. I think you might like her.
Omg, I'll follow you forever! You have to be the best right now. Hope you get more famous, you really deserve it. Elvis Said Roy Orbison had the best voice, well you match his. What a gift you are. Best Wishes. 🌹💖👏🤗👌
someone I know in England suggested I have a listen to you....he just did me a huge favor . thoroughly enjoying all ur performances......ur playing is on par with the likes of Richards, Clapton, Beck, Vaughn. ... n so on...I can't even begin to say how incredible your voice is.....
Wait for it......WOW! :) This is a hugely popular song for people to cover, but I find most people can't even remotely do it justice. In fact, more often than not, this song can get boring -- which is a travesty in itself, because it's a well written song! Of course, when I talk about it like that, I am obviously not referring to the Joe Var Veri version, because that was amazing!!! You emotionally connect so well with that song, that I found myself feeling horrified at the story you were telling -- "oh my gosh, he's not over her, but she doesn't love him? How can that be?!?" and sitting at the edge of my seat with anticipation! And THAT folks -- that's how it's done!!
Fantastic! Not many covers of this song have the artist hitting those super high notes, but I feel like you have to in order to do this song justice. Props to you, sir!
Now this... this right here... is a good cover. You kept Roy's style but you did it your own way. Fantastic job. 100/100. A+. +10 points extra credit. You are exempt from the final exam.
I don't know how I'm just now seeing this since you uploaded it back in February. Great job as always. This has always been one of my favorite songs from my childhood.
Jan, 2021. I’ve been a life long fan of Roy Orbison. Stumbled upon your version as I was randomly listening to artists interpretation of “Crying.” Great performance. You have another subscriber
Amazing! One of my favorite Roy Orbison songs. Just guess what you could do with a full rock n roll band! Key of D with capo up , using key of C chords. Good choice. My daughter (country singer, records at Nashville, country music) says "Daddy, you're either BORN with vibrato... or you're not!" Joe, You've got it!" 1:54 and 1:58, you prove it! And falsetto is perfect at 2:03! Now I've gotta go watch you video of Only The Lonely!
Great range and have not heard anyone get close to Roy Orbison on that one. That was awesome and you killed it good. Impressed. You remind me of Chris Daughtry.
I absolutely love stumbling across gems like this gentleman's page of, I think the best I've ever heard, covers of Roy Orbison. I was floored. And every link I clicked showed another dimension to his music. Incredibly talented. -- "I'm not sure why all of this guys postings are several years old, but regardless, Joe Var Veri wins the "Roy Orbison Acoustic Cover Challenge" in my book. He's technically excellent, has a great voice and shows great passion (and intestinal fortitude) in delivering these timeless classics."
Beautiful rendition, Joe! One of my favorites! (I did the KD Lang version!). I love your vibrato - and you hit the those high notes just perfectly! What a range you have! Wonderful, my talented friend!
Joe, I was looking for " It Hurts Me " by Elvis and that's how I found you. Sir, you blow me away. I am a big music fan and so is my sister so I turned her on to you. We have listened to all your songs and we both said the same thing,...you don't shy away from the tuff ones and you nail the tuff ones. I play rhythm guitar and your skills there also blow me away. In our opinion ,..you are better then most of the stuff we here on radio. God bless you and your dreams. Keep up the great work,...2 of your new fans.
Taking on an Orbison tune...and especially "Crying"...requires some awesome vocals. Joe, you passed the requirements needed, with flying colors. Your videos need to go viral, if some haven't already. The world needs to hear you.
After The Walking Dead episode you will probably get a bunch of hits. I'm a HUGE Roy fan, but I would put your version right up with his. AWESOME JOB. Very talented
Was so skeptical when I clicked on this video, but thank you for surprising me and nailing this so well. I loved it and listened to it more than once :-)
Man, I misjudged you from the start I confess. But at some point I understood how deep and real this interpretation was. I have no words to describe it. freak-awe-mazing doesn't start to describe it. Congrats.
Oh I didn't even see your description, oh man you're too kind you didn't have to put my info and everything that's so generous of you, you're an amazing musician all around :)
Yeah he does ... its called "Im the BlueOne" and I got it! Wow! what an album.... all I can say is , this is a great addition to your library of CD's.. for sure! JB
Wow, such control! The guitar intro sounded like you were going to do a Johnny Cash song but then you started singing and I was blown away. I couldn't believe how easy you made it seem to hit those high notes. I'm definitely going to subscribe.

That's Magic Joey!
OMG!!!!! There should be at least 1 million views! Roy Orbison is one of the best and this was absolutely Amazing!!!

When I wanna listen to Roy, I come here. :D

OMW !!!!! Joe you are simply the best vocalist guitarist ever !!
Whew....that last note, I mean, what can I say, it said it all. Fantastic job on Crying. Fantastic.
someone I know in England suggested I have a listen to you....he just did me a huge favor . thoroughly enjoying all ur performances......ur playing is on par with the likes of Richards, Clapton, Beck, Vaughn. ... n so on...I can't even begin to say how incredible your voice is.....
Omfg...you should have over s million views..you have such an amazing voice . Unbelievable Roy Orbison would be proud. BRAVO 👏👏👏
Dude that was bad ass awesome cover
This is the best cover of this song I've heard. Not many singers can pull it off. Great job!! It literally brought a tear to my eye.
True. That isn't an easy song to sing
That's one tough song to sing but you nailed it Joe. Roy would have been proud.
Takes balls to cover this one..... GREAT JOB!!!
The Power in your voice is Amazing. 5 out of 5. 🤗
Joe, you are becoming my favorite cover artist. Awesome job.
GREAT JOB JOE !! ANY SINGER THAT GIVES YOU GOOSEBUMPS IS THE REAL DEAL !!!!
Wow, thanks, Steve. Really appreciate it
Wait for it......WOW! :)

i used tô sing to this in free time, after i sang, i need many times to sing another song! Great job! keep on your Journey, congrats from Brazil!
You took those high notes full on and reached them all. Terrific cover.
I don't know how I'm just now seeing this since you uploaded it back in February. Great job as always. This has always been one of my favorite songs from my childhood.
Great! The best version of Crying that I've heard.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FREAKING LOVE IT! DANG GOOD! Great climax at the end!

Clap claP CLAP STANDING O... man that's emotion, nailed... even Roy would have been proud to hear this cut... JB

Hear you sing is a pleasure,
from Spain, congratulations.
Entendez-vous chanter est un plaisir,
de l'Espagne, félicitations.
Great range and have not heard anyone get close to Roy Orbison on that one. That was awesome and you killed it good. Impressed. You remind me of Chris Daughtry.
Damn it man!!! You sound just like Roy. Great pipes!!!
Nice Joe 😀
I love this song...
Goosebumps on this one...
This is a great cover! You sang it better than anybody else could.
Your voice has that touch Roy Orbison. Hearing his covers sounds like him. Great vocals and range. One of the hardest to cover.
No way, man! When you started to sing, I doubt it about if it were Roy Orbinson's voice or not! Your voice is amazing ❤
Wow! Absolutely incredible!
A fantastic vocal offering pal...just amazing...
Man. Excellent. You did Roy proud.
That vibrato ❤️
Unreal buddy, naturally gifted. Stunning
Hey Joe that was amazing ! Not many people can attempt Orbison songs let alone pull them off ! You certainly did !
great one Joe, terrific voice!!! Cheers, Pete
I think im in love haha .Excellent. What an inspiration and what a teacher
Fantastic voice! Thx for sharing your talent.

This and unchained melody are a challenge!!

Joe, when I saw this I thought about sending pezetah another version, But then I listened to the entire song and it can't be done any better.
How am I just seeing this now? Amazing cover! Wow!
Great job!!!!!!! Love that voice!!
Loved it. Great positive energy and talent.
Absolutely amazing love it
Oh my fuckin' God, that's incredible. It's like to hear Roy, I love it.

You kicked this song's ass so hard man. Captured the shit out of it.
+Jacob Winn... Lol! Thanks so much, really appreciate it :)
Superb vocal performance!
It takes some serious cojones to sing such a hard song!!! Amazing as always Joe!
After The Walking Dead episode you will probably get a bunch of hits. I'm a HUGE Roy fan, but I would put your version right up with his. AWESOME JOB. Very talented
You can get way up there! Spot on!! Great job!!

Wow that’s fantastic, a real voice without all the enhancements like so many of these non singers do these days. Excellent talent.

You sing beautifully! You should have a gazillion subs and a record contract.
I love this song and the way you covered it my friend. Roy would be proud of you Joe. Awesome performance.................Carl
