"Folsom Prison Blues" - Low Bass Singer Cover by Geoff Castellucci

"Folsom Prison Blues" has been on my list for years, and I'm happy to finally be able to check this one off. Johnny Cash obviously has the best version of this song but I hope I at least gave you something a little interesting to listen to. Thanks again for watching!

Special shout out to all of my patrons who make these videos possible.

"Folsom Prison Blues" was originally recorded and released by Johnny Cash in 1955. Since it's release it has been re-recorded and covered by hundreds if not thousands of artists. Rolling Stone went on to name it one of the top 100 country music songs of all time. Personally, I'd love to know where he came up with the lyric "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die..." If anyone knows, drop a comment below.

Clapping pushups, Daryl?!? Way to intimidate the other inmates!! As if the singing wasn't impressive enough (and it is!), you pump out some perfect regular pushups at the beginning and some perfect clapping pushups at the end?! Gotta say, you make getting "old and boring" look and sound AMAZING!!!

[lanaart]

After so many perfect covers, I realized something...
If you have a favorite old song, give it to Geoff. He's the guy who resurrects it for you and everyone else. He builds musical bridges in the songs that the original performers would have welcomed! Especially from a singer with such an amazing voice! 💚💯🎼

I know this song is going to be good. It is going to be sad for me though. This is the first voiceplay/geoff song that my dad isn't here to watch with me. He passed away last week and he loved geoff and voiceplay. Thank you geoff for putting a smile on his face

[patboone]

How does he go from high to low like that?? Omg his range is crazy. I love him!!!

[cqc]

A Geoff being unimpressed with other Geoffs will never not be funny.

[MaquillageAdore]

Geoff's in prison for being a menace to society.

Too much talent in one person and for stealing so many hearts.

[EarlJohn]

Now if he could -con- convince *Avi, Tim & Chance* to join him in a rendition of _The Highwayman_

My favorite singer covering a classic from my second favorite singer. This was instantly one of my favorites, I appreciate the instinct to play this one more straight and not reinvent the song, but to freshen it up and give it that Geoff touch. Please consider "Johnny Cash covers" to be my standing request. You can do as many of them as you like!

One of my favorite things about this video was the details and nods to Johnny Cash. The book Jeff is reading, the uniforms styled off the prisoners from Cash's Folsom Prison concerts, the Prisoner Numbers! *Chef's Kiss*

Thank you for all you do, I am so proud to support you and help make this music possible!

Какая щедрость природы: одному мужчине столько подарков- красота лица и тела, невероятный талант и волшебный, просто магически волшебный голос. Влюблена по уши...❤

[MichelleC]

Excuse me while I just totally fan girl here. I know y'all can hear me LOL 🥰

[Grayman]

Even the prison numbers are different, what a detail keeper

[wellmanj]

When I was having a rough PTSD day my girlfriend put your music on and it helped pull me back to level. So now whenever I am in a hard spot I turn on your music. So in conclusion my girlfriend saved my life with your song ghost riders in the sky. Thank you.

Ive rewatched this 20+ times, kept sliding it back to the beginning. This song was made for Geoff. The video is amazing. I hope nothing but the best for him and his wife.

Hey Geoff, just listened to your interview with Peter Barber and may I just say to you that ANY song you would want to sing we will absolutely LOVE it! Don't worry about whether or not we wouldn't want to hear it. We all love your voice, style and arraignment....so just keep working off that list 😉
And thank you for all the effort you put in making this beautiful songs and videos! ❤
BTW I can't wait to hear to this beauty!

[angiewoollard]

Geoff, I don’t know how you do it, but you’ve put ANOTHER cool spin on a song! Your harp playing, contrary to what you think, is sublime! I love it in this arrangement, as with all your arrangements, how you lead us down a path, and we think we know where it’s going, but NOPE, SURPRISE!

Thank you for all the treats you gave us in this video! 👓📖💪🏻

[Gretchen_G]

Imagination and optimism: That's what Geoff has managed to capture here, somehow, in a song about prison. It starts out sweet and plaintive, and sometimes it's kinda sad, but the whole time these guys are looking forward to the future bright-eyed and excited about what they'll do "If they freed me from this prison / if that railroad train was mine!" They've got a bright future ahead of them, and they're just champing at the bit to start living it! 💙

[debiconner]

This man has the most versatile voice I have ever heard. Too cool.

[mohunter]

You sir have a set of vocal chords that may never be matched by anyone on the planet. Your range is unreal and I applaud you for your talent as a singer.

[l.p.]

High quality F#1 chest, insane. Perfect cover, love it.

[moriahwhite]

Who else would LOVE a full album of Johnny Cash covers? 😁🤚🏻
