You are AMAZING! But I will have to correct you on something.. It's "Well, I finally made forty; still wearing jeans." :) Please release a cd or something, me and my brother love you!
Love his voice...he hit's a tune head on......would LOVE to see a little more PASSION from his voice...a bit of umph.....NOT criticizing.....I think he's awesome
Great job again James. I keep listening and wishing you the best. Don Williams also did a great version of this song not sure which came first. I think McDill wrote this song but I would have to google it to be sure.
I heard James sing this one at Barnes and Noble in Lafayette with only his guitar and no microphone. He sang it after a man in the audience asked him the name of the first song he had learned. All I can say is that if you're thinking he achieves his amazing sound with equipment, you are mistaken. I saw and heard with my own eyes. In fact, although his band is superb, this is my favorite way to listen. Just a man and his guitar.

almost 2 years late finding this but holy cow! you've got it buddy! i grew up listening to my dad sing this song so it has a sentimental thing going for me but you nailed it. you have a good look on camera too. if you're not in nashville you should be!
sure they would, if he went through the right avenues with a smaller label to start. i'm in nashville, been here all my life. i would suggest he go the indy country route like chris thile and old crow medicine show. they're more of a bluegrass sound but this is also wonderful, like jenny lewis only better.
Great job! Terrific vocal; good guitar playing - you are definitely an up and coming musician. Ever try anything from John Prine? (Fish & Whistle; Please Don't Bury Me; Dear Abbey; there are a lot of artists that you could do a great cover on.
My last comment was for dlyons926 who said Waylon did a cover of this song after Don Williams died. I usually don't make negitive comments to other people but he was calling every one else stupid.
The only gay-idiot here is dlyons926. Nobody cares who wrote this song, it's Waylon's song no matter what. Jamesdupremusic is also singing it like waylon did, so I don't understand your complaints.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
excuse me Waylon Jennings didn't write this song fuckers, Don Williams did you ignorant bastards!!!! Please stop giving Walyon Jennings the credit for this song. He only did a cover for it after Don Williams died!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Look it up!!!!! You stupid fuckers!
This song means A LOT to me, Its the song I was named after... You do the best version of it, short of Waylon himself, I have heard! AWESOME. Dong give up on your goal you will go far!
Katmandu!!! where do you find these songs?? I used to play that song before you were born and I was nearer your age and I wish I could get the gents I play with now to do some of that old stuff. Be proud, you did it justice and with a good band behind you, you could really cut it loose!
your lights are just crazy wrong dude. First, get rid of the celing fan light. Rotate your camera. Next, have the other lights "back up" a bit. YOu need to back up a bit too.
You have a fantastic voice! I have listened to several of your songs and called my friends to log on and listen. You need a record contract! Don't stop posting videos. You are great!
Man I don't think you were even born when that song came out but you did an awesome job. Glad to see even though Waylon is not around his music lives on.
You are AMAZING! But I will have to correct you on something.. It's "Well, I finally made forty; still wearing jeans." :) Please release a cd or something, me and my brother love you!
