You've Got A Friend In Me - Toy Story Cover feat. Casey Abrams

Before the start of PMJ's French tour, I brought Casey Abrams into the studio to record this duet on Randy Newman's "Toy Story" hit, "You've Got A Friend In Me."
Watch for a new Casey Abrams album coming in 2018!

really captured the spirit of randy newman...

[Chelsea-vcmq]

I feel like this is the perfect song for Casey's voice and Scott's style of playing the piano!

[maxhaverfieldandfriends]

The pianist's groove is impeccable!

[williamhutahaean]

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do
It's me and you, boy

And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

This song really works with Casey not forcing his voice but just bringing warmth to the song. One of the best PMJ/Casey songs.

[GioiaFede]

he's got long curly red hair, he smiles and has a positive attitude all the time, he can sing, he can play the bass, he's got style. I love Casey!

[fatlord]

Holy shit I've been playing piano for the last 19 years and Scott is super impressive. He's just crisp as hell and his dynamics are spot on, not to mention the musicality is crazy. Props to you, and to the bassman too (great voice for this piece)! Wow.

[deanray]

Great vocal range, multi-talented instrumentalist. And a very very kind soul. God bless you, Casey, get well soon.

Red hair guy has best voice for any cartoon, he actually looks like one character, cute lion cab from my favorite childhood cartoon. Piano playing is exceptional brushed up every note. Best duet I heard, can't stop listening, almost every day it's lightens my mood. piece of art, precious gem. Whoever plays piano and loves good jazz music will understand me.

[ItsMisterWilliams]

Only Scott Bradlee and Casey Abrams could bring me back to this song time and time again.

[murph]

Simply a piece that gushes happiness and total sincerity.

[airaielion]

One of the best renditions of this song. Simple and classy!

[jamiewilliams]

From the first note Casey sang I instantly smashed that like button!!! My life is complete!!!

[strfsh]

you can tell how familliar he is with that bass. the intunation is spot on. it really takes a long time to work up such precise playing on fretless instruments.

[bubs]

I listened to this song for literally an hour while I did homework. I just kept repeating and repeating and repeating; I just don't want it to end. I love Casey! His voice is awesome and he has way to much fun on that bass. :D

[annanoall]

I can't find adequate words to describe how much joy this gives me to watch

[meenakshiminnis]

Love the voice especially while playing the double bass.

[michaeld]

Casey Abrams - maybe most underrated artist in USA.
both of you guys are brilliant!
thanks for this video

[chadford]

Love having Newman recorded in a Neuman mic - U87 (the last word in vocal microphones).

[superdriver]

This is absolutely perfect. Casey's voice fits the song so well, and just the simple bass-line he lays down....also, Scott Bradlee is nailing it. I love the small flourishes that make this song a little more jazzy/bluesy/ragtime-y than it already was -- genius!
