Black Velvet (feat. Carson McKee and Josh Turner) 

I'm old enough to be your grandfather (74). I'm also a professional guitarist/singer who's played and sung rock for a living since I was 16 (was a studio guy in Chicago for many years). You kids blew me away! You are the real thing, without a doubt. Thank you.

Takes a good guitarist to make a single electric guitar sound so full and complete and a Telecaster at that. They really are more versatile than we give them credit for - Telecasters - Josh is superb. As another 60 something guitarist singer I'm also blown away by these young musicians performing without multiple effects and overproduction. It's refreshing.

My favorite thing about Josh's covers is that he really "gets" what these songs are and what they ought to feel like.

That brother on the right is absolutely spot on with the harmony. Great tone all around.

Man those harmonies are [chefs kiss]

Favourite thing ever in live recordings: People laughing/ smiling during either because they made a minor error or just really enjoying themselves.

I am regretfully terrible at responding to comments, but please know that I have read through them all and I am so grateful for your support and kindness! I am planning on sharing a lot more with you all soon :) Thank you all so so so much from the bottom of my heart!!

That singer is special.her voice brought a tear. I hope she's performing regularly with it

Holy smokes, her voice!

God, that harmony during the chorus..WOW

Never gets old, even years later. That harmony…just. wow. Well done! ❤️

Man she ROCKS this song! Its amazing that her speaking voice is so soft but when she sings she belts it!

I’ve watched this video a number of times but for some reason, this time - when the chorus kicked in - chills went up my spine…it’s dead on.

My God that young lady has a wonderful voice 💕🤩

Gave me goose bumps guys - Wow! - 67 year old Aussie. Fantastic harmony. Never noticed the wrong chord - only the laughing!

I'm 68 and I've heard about everything and this is one of the best covers ever!

Wow! Her voice is incredible. Great job guys!

That young lady has a fantastic voice. Josh and Carson are always good to listen to. Well done by all.👍👍

Pretty voice..Perfect Harmony..To your knees indeed

Listened to this about a dozen times and I don’t think I’ll ever stop.

This is why I am addicted to YT. All the great music from "unknowns" I should just say, uncommercialized

Holy smokes, her voice! Man those harmonies are [chefs kiss]

I've listened to this like 100 times and I just now realized that he laughs when he plays the wrong chord at 3:14

Everytime I watch you young cats twist out a tune that I'm familiar with or know y'all just blow me away !! This was no exception, WOW I'm fixin' ta be 63 and y'all may just be my new favorite rockers, cause Lord knows I damn sure can't wrap my head around none of the so called rockers today, actually there aint no rockers today. Keep up the great sound kids, Peace Out and Fish On

I can't get over her voice👍👍👍

Carson au top ! Josh comme d'habitude, bien présent où il faut. Taylor...wahou !!!

Hey! I Write to you from Italy. In these time of quarantine, to see and discover that still exist thinghs like this, reminds me that good times will never ends. Thank you. You're very great musicians; YOU ARE FANTASTIC.Really. Riccardo.

Boy what fun it would have been SIXTY years ago when I was this age... to have the capacity to record ourselves. Love it!

I come back and watch this all the time. Wish you guys did more songs together y'all sound incredible

IT started quite as a common cover .....but........ thouse voices ... oh my goodness..... You are amazing

Oh man Oh man!!! I'm 38 and i just cried ! You folks just shattered my bones and evaporated my blood! I felt totally absorbed with your voices and music !!! I hope you all make it in the ways you never dreamed of !

What can you say, this kid Josh and his friends are always well worth a watch, RU-vid thank you.

3:30 Taylor´s look and that lip bite at the end. I am weak on my knees right now

@Taylor Neita PLEASE do not let anyone tell you that your voice needs any type of rework in any recording you do That was PURE

Shivers all over the place. Those guys are good, but girl... you are from an other planet! And beautifull on top of that... More please?

Awesome, well done folks. Love the Telecaster too.

11 out of 10 on the talent scale! Taylor knows how to switch on the afterburner!

Taylor and Carson really nail this song, and beat all previous versions. But as always; Josh. When you can do what he does with “just” a Telecaster (the only electric a real player needs), or a no-cutaway Martin 000 (see other videos), you aren’t just a performer, or a session player. You are a true freakin’ master musician. Real artist. Please don’t stop. And btw, Sixteen Tons just proves it again. You guys belong in the Congressional Library of Eternity or whatever it is called.

Oh my God .. sing it Girl ! So good. I love your soul.

The lyrics: Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave White lightning, bound to drive you wild Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl "Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Every word of every song that he sang was for you In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could You do? Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please If you please, if you please, if you please

A pure sensation! Please never stop singing!

I got kids older than you guys and am a musician.....I'm very proud of you kids. Great job. Girl, you got some soul in those vocals. Keeping a full sound using a Telecaster takes some skill....you nailed it, kid.

I was 24 in 1989. This brought back some sweet memories, excellent job.

Good music never dies when performed by talented people! Excellent work!

This is excellent. Taylor Neita you’ve got a great voice.

Been following Josh and Carson for about as long as they've been around. Originally for the folk and bluegrass covers, and eventually because as a musician they sure keep me humble. Have to say, this trio is, of all the collaborations, absolutely amazing. I would be so happy with an album of you three with rhythm accompaniment. Just fantastic work.

This girl vocalist has talent . Go girl! . A great version of BV . A joy to listen to this trio.

Dude can play his ass off!!!!!!.......Lead singer got soul!!!!....Harmony is impeccable!!!!!

I just keep coming back to this cover, it really is all that. The vocals had the perfect balance of raw emotion and flourishes. Also, just chiming in with another 'this needs to be on spotify' comment.

That guy on the right is a real unsung hero in my opinion.

Man it is refreshing to see all this talent and going worldwide. You kids are great with sound and style If you go big time..please don't change!!!.

Until now I didn't realize what the song was really about... I am truly blown away by these youngn's...

I was 24 in 1989. This brought back some sweet memories, excellent job. yeah i'm gonna need this on spotify

Wow dont lose each other. Great harmony. I used to play in bands. We tried to get a motown sound. Not easy for 5 white guys from Va. we never had anything like that. Iguess we needed a lady..for those high parts. You guys just knocked me down this morning. Good choice of songs. Have you ever considered..some old Patsy cline or some of the country rock stuff. Some of it is so old you could make it your own.

Amazes me that he does all the tunes that I like. And does them better than I could ever imagine. Period... Pure God given Talent.

Was already my favorite song... now it has transcended even further.

Wow! Terrific. Excellent harmony with all three voices so well-balanced. Like an old bluegrass group huddled around one mic.. Older player here... Keep at it, this is very good stuff. Now I'll have to subscribe. Love good music. And this...is good.

Interesting to see comments on here from "older" guys.....me too....I'm 68 and (being a Beatles generation) had given up on hearing quality music again....but everything that Josh and his friends produce has given me renewed hope that live music can be great again....and in so many genres.

You guys nailed that!! What a beautiful singer and great harmonies by the gentlemen!!

I love the fact that these "kids" are digging the awesomeness of the classic songs! Hats off to them! Rock on!

Sounds even better after a few listens, soul in them vocals, tasteful harmonies, bad ass guitar..... raw young talent, good luck out there, kind regards from Alex in the mountains of Norway.

She has an awesome voice and perfect expressions for interpreting Alanna’s hit! Love this work. Nice guitar work!

The voice of that girl is amazing. Much much much better than many of the fake singers imposed by media.. I can listen that whole day.. Thanks for sharing guys.

Beautiful harmonies, it sounded like one voice. And a beautiful guest singer as well, with a killer rendition!!

Wow, That was really well sung and played. Great playing and sense of time by the guitar player and excellent vocals by the three of you, I am only 86 and play too. Keep it up young folks!

This is still one of my favorite. I just k Ike Taylor's voice and huge talent. She's gooodddd

I’m addicted to Taylor’s voice. What a vocalist great job. Also she is adorable. Excellent work by Josh and Carson as well. I hope to hear more of Taylor soon!

Keep coming back to this, it’s something else

There's a reason why this cover has nearly 1.4m views. Josh & Carson are great as usual, but it's that voice brings me back time and again. Well done!

That sharp aggressive tele sound are a perfect contrast to the vocals. It adds some edge to the performance and helps it to stand out. 👍

There are no words...well, bloody amazing springs to mind.

Loved this song back then, love it now.

I have listened to many groups do this,and the original artist,Alannah Myles, and you guy's nailed it. The first I heard you,,do this after listening to other songs you have done ,You are the Real Thing,Thank you for sharing you'r talent !

You guys are all amazing. Female vocals exceptional. I'm hooked

Magnifiques vos 3 voix ! Et la guitare de Josh 🔥

fantastic, what a voice, great! 🏆⚘♥️😎

Outstanding! These collaborations seem to just keep unearthing talented kids ... 😊 it’s bloody ace !

It takes a lot to make this ol girl smile!! I just laughed. This is beautiful. I love to see young people with this kind of passion , having fun.

2:53, Carson's harmony is so damn good.

Man that "smile" from 3:06 gives me shivers!!

Wow. I just found you all yesterday...pure talent. Keep posting

So good to hear real music these days. These three are terrific. Thanks so much.

I've been following Josh Turner for a little while and it amazes me that he is surrounded with such fantastic talent. I'll admit that I had never heard of you but I'll also admit that it was my loss.

I know this is an old one but I love this song! Great cover, y’all never stop amazing me !

A favorite song and you guys nailed it!

I've watched this every night for the last week.... dam it's just so good....

Like many before me I am also going to say how awesome it is to see young people playing and singing together. You are all very talented, an impressive performance. Actual music these days is becoming so rare, this was a breath of fresh air.

Josh, Taylor, and Carson caught lightning in a bottle with this rendition of Black Velvet. I've been around a long time and that piece gave me shivers and brought tears simultaneously. Great job guys.

My sister and I have “black velvet if you please” tattooed on our feet, it’s our Nans favourite song. Thanks for doing it justice 💗

I love when people keep the end of performance "how was that take?" etc. in their videos :)

I love the way Josh plays the guitar. In it heart and soul

Alannah Miles grew up about three quarters of an hour drive from where I grew up. I used to see her in little dive bars. Thanks for bringing back some three decades old memories of the good old days.

Wow i have been listening to this on repeat for the past couple of days, what an awesome cover! Amazing voices, lovely playing, truly an amazing cover! Please make more because this trio rocks!

Oh wow... The hairs rose on my arms when that chorus came in... Terrific performance from the three of you. Thank you, Taylor!

Ouahouhhh ... Impressionnant. Sensationnel !!! . Super !! Une voix magnifique, des chœurs impeccables. ( bonne gratte ) ! Chapeau bas.

Fantastic, best cover I’ve heard of this song...👍❤️🎤🎸

3:15 - Best Moment, when they just laugh away that mistake. Love this!!!

OMG! The harmonies! Mind blowing!

Simply....BEAUTIFUL!

Wow! What a beautiful voice! You're all fantastic! Love it. Thank you.
