Karen Carpenter once said, "The money's in the basement." She meant that her fans loved when she sang in her lower register. I always think of that when I hear you sing.

OMG! Mary Spender and Rhett Shull... two of my FAVORITE musicians... together... singing one of the greatest songs ever written. Oh. Wow. This. Is. Awesome.

I like the fact that Rhett is spending less time messing around with gear and is playing more music! And yes Mary has a spectacular voice!!!

I've been to Winslow, Arizona many times. Never once did I see Mary standing on a corner. Woe is me.

I’m an old guy, so songs that throw back to my youth are very meaningful to me. I loved your version!

Backing tracks? They didn't even need a drummer or a bass player! Real musicians!

Let’s start a band 🤘🏻

All I can say is wow! This is perfection

Absolutely brilliant. It's one of my favourite songs of all time. Mary's voice. Spectacular.

Songs like this classic were meant to be re-envisioned. Fantastic!!!

Just goes to show what two hard-working pros who love music, can do in their spare time. A new and delightful take on an old favorite, but with more heart and soul!

I could not agree more. Mary’s lower register is truly special and beautiful on the ear. Her upper register not so much and often spoils her performances.

Most covers aren't all that, but for this one, 1 word, OUTSTANDING!

Fantastic! It couldn’t be anything less with Spender and Shull. Shull has a sixth sense for finding the seam between ethereal and diatonic scale. Mary has a beautiful voice. On her guitar she played a perfect accompaniment to her vocal and Rhett’s lead lines. I’m very impressed that they accomplished this live.

Love when the two of you collaborate. You guys have such a cool community of artists and content creators.

Pour me a whisky and light me a cigar, that was dreamy perfection.

I was so hoping Mary and Rhett would get together while she is visiting America! This is fantastic! This is my favorite cover of "Take It Easy"! Yall ROCK! Slide that thing Rhett! Beautiful!

A better singer than any of the Eagles who deserves 1000x the recognition.

Absolutely spectacular in every way. You have to watch / listen to this several times to be able to take it all in. Such complicated simplicity. Stunning. Totally Stunning.

Rhett got that winning boy voodoo :)

Good lord... That vocal transition from low to high near the end.. just incredible!

Wow 👏👏👏👏everything…..wow 👏👏👏👏👏and the fade out is appreciated 👏👏👏👏standing ovation 👏👏👏👏

The vocals and slide are sublime! Love hearing Rhett play.

Wow. Goosebumps here too.

I love Mary's voice. The cadence of her singing catches me off guard in this. The sound of the SG that she is playing is perfect for this tune. Rhett's tone was quite bright and didn't quite sit right with the dark sound of Mary's guitar and her full and deep voice.

Tremendous. Just tremendous. Damn, Rhett, that was some killer slide. So tasteful, so good. No one could have done that any better. Mary, well, wtf. You're the real-world woman every guy with two functioning brain cells wants for a daily companion. Reading off menu items, telling bedtime stories to the kids, pillow talk, singing to the radio during car roadies, it couldn't get much better than having your voice as the soundtrack to one's life. Then, your guitar playing on top of that, and your intellect, decency, class, and courage? Christ, girl. Not cool. You make it hurt.

How did this not get a million views?

Great mike on that great voice.

what a stupendous arrangement! Your voice alongside Rhett's slide is magical!

Rhett just kicks butt on slide. love Mary in her lower register.

One of your best recordings. Singing songs with even less lyrics spaced out will bring you to voice perfection.

Man I can taste the dust of the road on my tongue from that slide and the oh so perfect amount of reverb.

Pure gold. That’s what happens when you put two great artists.

Wow.. Gives me chills. I prefer it to the original.

what a song!

You guys are great together. I have followed both of your channels for years. I must say you have Synergy. You deliver a wall of sound with 2 guitars.

You have really been adding range to your voice with this song and teen spirit. You could be a country singer.

Rhett’s novo sounding fantastic

Good GAUD! That's EXACTLY what I was talking about. More.

gosh I love it when you get into your upper register

That performance really showcased your great vocal talents. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Very nice guys indeed

I feel like this could chart.

You 2 are great together ❤️

There is some kind of poetry in seeing and listening this, while the video just under it is the collab with Rick Beato, showing "This isn't easy" on the screen. Great cover !

damn that 'mmmmmmmm' by Mary in the first two seconds sent shivers down my spine.

That was excellent. I love Mary’s vocals on this rendition. The guitar playing by both of you is great. I’m also a fan of slide guitar and it certainly sounds great on this song. Great job by both artists.👍👍🇨🇦

Your velvety voice envelops my soul❤

Outstanding. You two played it like you wrote it yesterday. Rarely can I describe a cover as refreshing. Thanks to both of you for a burst of sunshine in the middle of an otherwise mundane day.

My favorite collab between you and Rhett to date.

Great organic cover! This was the most finest I’ve seen/heard Mary stretch her surprising vocal range.

I love Mary's Channel. And Rhett, I love your's even more now for having her on...

A scintillating collaboration. Mary you always exude such passion when you sing. Amazing vocals! A refreshing take on a great song. You go guys!!! More collaborations please.

Ridiculously good. Just pure goodness. Thank you.

Both amazing musicians , can’t wait to see more of these

I love this version. Love the singing and the slide. I think it’s better than the original. Greetings from the Netherlands

Just incredible!!! Thank you.

Jesus.. the talent on these two!

Wow! What a cover! The two of you are so well in sync and Rhett's playing beautifully accompanies your wonderful voice, Mary. More duets please 👏👏🙏🙏

both guitars...beautiful....Remember come to New Zealand. Thank you

Wow 🤩 such a cool rendition of a classic tune. Well done you two 👏

Mary Chapin Carpenter came to mind for me. Well done.

Jackson Browne still collecting royalties from this one...and in the meantime he can continue making really great singer songwriter albums full of depth and poetry and resonance. Great job Mary and Rhett! This song is perfect for a slide style like you sporting here.

Very enjoyable rendition of this song. I liked the Country style played Rhett Shull

Soulful and haunting. Love this.

Love that voice

One of my favorite Eagles songs done spectacularly!! Thank you Mary this was a great start to my day

Wonderful voice; I like that chesty, robust timbre. Nice contrast with the David Lindley-like fills in a stark arrangement that conjures the vastness of the American Southwest.

Your voice!!! ❤

Fantastic slide playing Rhett!

Everything about this cover was absolutely perfect. Just sublime. Well done! 👏👏👏

Thanks for the original arrangement!!!!

Sounding great. Backing rhythm was spot on. Rhett did a really good lead. Love your singing. Much enjoyed.

Mary, your vocal texture on this was sweet butter rum flavored coffee. Lovely.

Got goosebumps when you came into that first chorus. Nicely done 👌

That's exceptional all around.

The intro is just stunning! 10/10

Rhett .....clean, precise and accurate, top.

I love the way you made this cover yours. Great job. 👍😀

Just lovely.

LOVELY!!

simply beautiful

Wonderful collaboration, loved it!

You know you have done something right when you leave people humming along with you! Nice job Mary and Rhett!!

Thank you for all of the inspiration!!! You two are a joy together! 🔥💫🙏🏼

OUTSTANDING. Go Girl. ❤🙏😺

Simply beautiful! The original is great already but you two just made it even more! 😍😍

RAW... AMAZING...

Wow, that certainly is an amazing performance well done!

Just beautiful, I need say no more.

Wow, goosebumps on goosebumps, loved it!

Well done you two! Tell Josh Scott to put THAT slide tone in his pipe and smoke it!

Wow, you really put your own spin on a classic. Sweet! Great cover and I love Rhett's slide work, it really added to the song.

Love love love this version! Please come and do a Canadian tour!!!

I always loved this song. Now I love it even more! Thank you for this wonderful performance.

Wow, that had soul.

This is freaking amazing! The bit from 2:56 to 3:04 blew me away, incredible singing :)

Wonderfully gorgeous.

Splendid !!!
