You kids today with your guitars and your YouTubes and your incredible musical skills...

[russellesby]

Me - falls in love with this song from spotify, not knowing who the hell the band members are
Also me - fell in love with Josh Turner with his Elenor Rigby cover ages ago

Me now - two of my musical crushes are the same person

An absolute public crime how this video only has 500k views. This has to be one of the most wonderful and purely good taste solos the world of music has ever seen. It's just so pure. Wtf man

[mattstalker]

steel string acoustic solos are such a hard thing to pull off without sounding naff or unnecessary and indulgent. josh's is so lyrical, so well blended dynamically, so tasteful, and really tells a story. what craftsmen these guys are. such a good song all round

[rehamkcirtap]

Josh's face starting the solo is like 'oh yes, I got this thing' and he totally does

[DieterKrauss]

I could listen to that guitar solo a thousand times...AMAZING

[marvinrains]

I'm an old man. Listening to you and your friends play togeather so beautifully has become one of the joys of my days.
God bless you Josh & friends.

[junkfire]

That solo... ... my god, that solo...

Drove two hours to Milwaukee with my wife to listen to Carson and Josh recently. Many in the crowd drove up from Chicago. Mad skills and wonderful harmonies. They have expertly covered many classics but their original content is out of this world!!! Thanks for the incredible show!

[christophercunningham]

If I closed my eyes and listened to this and then someone told me this was a long-lost Lennon-McCartney tune, I wouldn’t bat an eye.
Masterful writing and musicianship. Bravo.

[davidwoolsey]

Sheeze! You two are refreshing in this world of non-music music. I've been around since 1944 and can tell you that you are among some of the great talents I've seen. Can't help having a small smile as I listen to such good stuff!

[nobodyspecial]

beautiful, evocative Everlyian harmonies, with  subtle melodic changes that defy classification.  Ultimate musicianship without a trace of ego. You and your associates are changing the face of popular music. Hold on to your principles when the music industry types come calling.( as they surely will)   Sincere thanks for improving the quality of life for your listeners.

lyrics:

Angelina
Who told you to
hide like you do
Who let you down

You came running
up the stairs
caught unawares
In your sunday gown

Queen of the Bushwick scene
Queen of the movie screen
Where have I seen ya
Angelina


Rosey sunrise
through the blinds
Still drunk on wine
a fool such as mine

Take a drank dear
from the side
of your mouth as you smile
and offer me life

Queen of the divebar scenes
Queen of the inbetweens

Where have I seen ya
Angelina
Where have I seen ya
Angelina

Everything is just so effortless and smooth, Carson's vocal, Josh Guitar playing amd them Josh adds his vocal to round it off

[LootingLutist]

makes me feel like I should be sitting in some cafe somewhere in Spain drinking a cocktail with a nice breeze. thank you for this sunshine on a gloomy Seattle day. Amazing!!!

[bryanlafferty]

In my bedroom, cigarette lit, bowl packed, queueing up the other favorites videos. Nothing better

[peterv]

I've been watching Josh videos the last few months. I've also watched Reina del Cid videos. Always amazed at Josh's repertoire. He can play anything, and his voice is smooth like Paul Simon's. Reina and Toni are amazing, and Reina's originals are fascinating. I didn't realize until recently what a great voice Carson has. It is buttery smooth and comforting to hear. Today, for the first time I heard "Angelina" from the Live in London post. Then I came here to listen to it again as a two year old recording.

The talent the two gentlemen have is brimming over. The lyrics are great, the melody is what captured me first, along with the expert guitar work. The song sounds like something from long ago, yet it is so new and fresh. When Paul McCartney wrote "Mull of Kintyre" he did the same thing. Wrote a new song that sounded like it's been around forever and everyone should know it. That's right, I compared you guys to McCartney, and it's not an exaggeration.


As I've said elsewhere, you two are impressive, as are Reina and Toni. I know you sometimes tour together. You really need to discard whatever keeps you from joining forces and become the amazing, once in a lifetime quartet you could be. Well, for me it would be twice in a lifetime. Once, was the Beatles, twice would be the four of you. Do it!

[logan_hall_grill_streams]

This song is a great example of doing more with less. All you need is a simple chord progression, simple strumming pattern, simple lyrical rhythms, and boom, you have something magical.

[bigbro]

The harmonics and the chord progressions are incredible. You guys need a million views each video you make. Pure effing music!

[VerticalMixStudios]

I'm so blown away I have no words. At 45yo I've heard lots of music, but wow!!
