14 years I've been listening to you play music, from that first talent show to now and never not impressed man, great sound here.

[georgedoyle]

Thank you Paul Krugman for bringing this to my life 😃

[suzannewinz]

I wish I could like this every time I come back. :)

[bouart]

An undeniable fact, Allison and Josh's performance touches you very deeply. This is how I, as a 75 year old Dutchman living in Denmark, experience their music.

[newyorkslim]

Roger Miller was so effing imaginative -- and you guys do him justice. Bravo.

[terryevans]

Josh, Allison, AND Rodger MIller? My day is made!

[MaryAnnBeaven]

The great camera work by Kelly Oden really contributes to the fun factor here. Not only is she Josh’s wife and collaborator, but she is the real deal !!

[manfredmaia]

I really envy the Americans for their love for their music traditions. There are so many great young musicans keeping that old thing alive!

[thomascussans]

Josh's virtuosity speaks for itself. Ditto his charm. But Allison . . the voice, the looks, the hair (!), the hint of naughtiness (scarlet lipstick anyone?) albeit of the nicest possible sort of course: I am properly in love. What a wonderful performance. Made all the more so by the very stern bassist and his hat. Do you suppose he enjoyed himself as he thumped away? Well, I did. An utter delight.

[badguitar]

How can these young folk be so freaking good?

[larvalangel]

This is incredible, I think Roger would be proud. I cried, guys. THIS is country. Thank you for remembering one of my favorite artists.

[JimForeman]

Love that you covered a Roger Miller song. It brought back a great memory for me from 40 years ago. I was with the family in Lake Tahoe and my father in law was excited to get tickets to Roger Whitaker at one of the casinos. Roger Whittaker was a soothing tenor that sold tons of CDs on TV ads back in the day. We went to the show and the announcer said "Give a big round of applause for Roger Miller!!" The opening song was "Can't roller skate in a buffalo herd." My father in law was dumbstruck with embarrassment and I laughed like a loon through the first 20 minutes. Great job you two.

[maemars]

There is nothing but pure joy in their voices.

[renrut]

What a great song to highlight both of you! Loved the sense of fun throughout the entire song. Great choice!

[werner]

I never liked country music so much, but that feeling is going by...

[kentrogers]

No words can describe just HOW MUCH I enjoyed that number!!! The crisp sounds of some great picking with the bass, the vocals, the chemistry between Josh and Allison just having a great time!

[easykrohn]

Every time I hear something that Josh produced I just can't believe how someone can be so crazy skilled in multiple fields.
I mean the performances are one thing but the productions are just top notch as well every single time. Absolutely nailed the vintage sound... 
I just think it's rude how good this sounds :D no but in all seriousness, thank you for sharing all your amazing work!
I feel super inspired every time I listen to one of your creations.

[jimwalden-ho]

These two have so much chemistry, everything they do has magic...

[treepop]

It's like 2 people dancing and and not missing a step !!!!

[sortedsortof]

This is, by far, my favorite song by the Bygones.
