...Wow...I cant stop listening to this version of yours....you have such a soothing voice....with a face to match.......I am from India........Indeed you are blessed with a good voice.....wish you luck , and the very best in all your endeavours.......would you be in India sometime.....there's a whole lot of people who would vouch for your singing.....
Man you have a fantastic voice. It was made for classic country music. You should try some Lefty Frizzell songs if you havent allready. I will have to check out your channel for sure. Stop by my channel sometime for a visit.
the 10 dislike, are mad at themself cause they try to sing like him and it dont work so good, but let me tell you theres singers on CMT that cant sing like that, hank williams is proud.......your no 1 here in canada.......
James, give it some emotion. Its a ballad, about a man in Prison getting ready to die! You've got a good voice, just get into that song and make it yours...
wow, this guy is fantastic, I'm glad Ellen showed his video on her show, so that I can hear him sing on my own computer any time I want to. Love the songs he does.
it's nice to see a young man singing beautiful old country songs... WOW... i love the tone of your voice; it resonates beautifully... holy crap, i would totally buy your music !!
I think you are an amazing singer and I find myself sitting for hours listening to your videos. I will DEFINITELY be buying your album!! It is SOOO awesome to hear a young singer singing the TRUE country music songs!! Nobody done it quite like Merle. Keep it up man....I am in complete awe.
hey man ive been listenin to ur songs u got ur own sound man dont worry bout what these people are sayin i used to play guitar for tracy bird , u got a good voice man dont worry bout any critics man just keep this up
You have a nice voice, but you need to develop your own style. The streets in Nashville are lined with starving singers who sound just like (insert your favorite singer here). Good luck.
I have been a fan of Merle Haggard for many years and I think you did a great job on this song. I agree on the one comment of getting the record deal. I think the "clean country sound" is almost a lost art. Why don't you bring it back??
This is my fave song by Merle. I still remember seeing him in concert when I was a little girl. You did a great job on covering this song, I am sure he would feel honoured!
Ich bin immer wieder fasziniert, wie der Bengel alle richtigen Töne trifft. Dagegen ist "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" die letzte Scheisse. Sorry.. - GREAT !!!!
You know, I live in the very same Bakersfield The Haggard is from. My dad found out on accident. I've seen his families graves. they're like 2 or 3 miles from my house. On that note, This was awsome.
Lad ur wastng ur time singin Pub gigs u should be in stadiums round d world.. U hav an amazing voice... Wish u d best of luck with everything u do.. Gerry In Ireland..
Great. You have a marvelous voice! You can hear the weariness and weight of the world felt by the protagonist in the song. And yet, there is also a sense of hope that comes through. Yours is definitely the best cover of this Haggard tune I have heard.
Keep up the great work. Thanks to Kay for sending it my way.
James this is the second comment I didn't know if the other one made it but it did. Awsome job you immediatly went into haggard mode, you put your soul into your music just the way merle does. Do what you can to gp professional you definatly have the voice for it.
James! When are you going to be putting out some more music? You are fantastic man! I love country music, especially Merle Haggard. Great job my man!!! (Your #1 Irish Fan!)
You do a great job on this song. I love to see you younger people sing the old ones. I like to play along with you on this one. Keep up the good work.
Coming from a musicly background, and having the pleasure of Merle Haggerd being part of the family for a spill before going to prison, you have complamented him in an awesome way. As my family used to say, "Boy, God gave you talnet, now you are to give it away." Sing like you are saving your momma. You have a nice voice.
I listened to your songs. and enjoy them all you have a great voice for these older country songs. You make me jealous hear you play. I played for awhile and I'm no where near that
man I dont tel many people this realy I dont but you have an awesome voice I have listened to a good number songs that you have song and man you do a great job let me tel ya thou its a God given talent so use it for God..
Love it james, i have friends sitting here having a few drinks, nothing like having , a cold beer , friens and great music ona fri nights. we r all loving it, so heres a toast to u james please keep them coming
You are very good.I've been watching a lot of people sing, but your the best I've seen. I hope you keep them coming.I played in a band for 30 years,and I would have loved to have been able to had you in our band.
