Oh the dreaded hotel room knock. Hard to imagine someone complaining about hearing that performance in the next room though. Beautiful.

After hearing this rendition just once, I packed my family in the car, drove 300 miles to Swansea and saw one of the best performances of our lives. My son laughed at me as a I shed a tear when you played this tune live for us. I laughed back when he had to sleep in the car as we couldn’t find anywhere to stay! Thanks Josh for the memories and inspiration. Hopefully see you again soon.

For those who don't know - that is very difficult guitar playing - and its being done on a steel string acoustic guitar - much harder than a nylon string guitar or electric guitar - now if you want to double the difficulty then try singing at the same time as you play all those unusual and difficult chords - let's bump it up another level of difficulty and do a classic that everyone knows and will hear any tiny mistake you make - let's put icing on the cake by sounding as good as the original.

Thanks Josh - for your appreciation and tribute to the classic songs of my youth.

I only discovered you recently and I keep listening to one song after another when I only plan to listen to one, cause I got other things that need doing.

This song is so New York.. steam rising from the manholes, late at night the streets still wet from rain, shopkeepers sweeping out front pushing dirt into the gutter, people yelling in the distance, high heels on the sidewalk, taxis idling. Even the sound your fingers make through all the chord changes as they work up and down the neck. This song is 100% better with eyes closed. It really paints a picture. Excellent job.

I'm 68. Still crazy after all these years. Thank you

[ianson]

The acid test is when an artist takes a song that you don't particularly like and turns it into something you can't live without. That is what Josh Turner has done for me with Still Crazy. Breathtaking.

[juanadam]

Still looking for a tab after all these years

[topgazza]

Got that certain voice and the guitar style. It made Paul a star so why not Josh

[jtmazz]

Son, you are crazy gifted! I pray God continues to bless your socks off...

[albertbatfinder]

Guy in the next room requested Sound of Silence next. Housekeeping thought it was a complaint.

[Kloetenhuhn]

...He's guitar Josh and he knows all the chords...

[rollanrand]

As smooth as warm butter....excellent!

[jimajello]

This man is an incredible guitarist & vocalist. Keep your eyes & ears open for he is going to present some unique, progressive & profound material the likes of no other musician. His original material & what he conceives in his arrangements like a fine wine is coming into development and birth.

[MrNuschelowski]

It's so sad that he and this channel still don't get the Attention that he deserves. You're acoustic interpretations are outstanding 💘

[KeriLovell]

Wow wow wow. Incredible. GUTTED I can't see you in the UK. please come to Wales. I'll buy all the tickets. Like all of them.

[jdmohr]

Josh astutely mimics the subtle lilt of Paul's voice, and yet manages to add original smoky vocal hues that compliment the distinct resonance of that spruce top Martin.

[mikebrison]

the best of Simon done by the best of the future

[kellymemeo]

It doesn’t get any better than that.
Beautiful Josh.

Thank you

[michcard]

Very subtle and delicate song from Paul Simon that you superbly rendered.

[brianmullins]

Other worldly playing and singing here, I am but a mere mortal, and I appreciate so much this talent.
