[swishersweetz]

 A- so close yet ya just need that last umph.........your voice sounds like a nice boy from the Valley not a old burnt out southerner.... Ya gota sing with a little more feeling...its a sad song..Try listening to it over and over........100 times......sing along with it ....marry the damm song...and take home to meet the parents.......gargle with southern comfort.......dont get me wrong here I think you are a talent.........Listen with your ears wide open......

YOUR ARE G.R.E.A.T.!!!!!!!! EXTREMELY TALENTED

[wknitro67]

Me and my brother used to listen to this song when we were very little, almost every night before going to bed, we would sing it loud and as well as we could, thanks for covering this tune. It means a lot to me to hear it just as remembered.

[Stepclimb]

This is a great version of the song. But the credit for the song should go to the songwriter; Jerry Jeff Walker. NGDB covered the song.

[GumboRon]

You did it good... real good!!!

[keyboardplyr]

You have a pleasant sound to your voice and with your guitar playing your singing marvelously suits this wonderful song. Nice performance!

[CFaithA]

Really nice. I named my cat Mr. Bojangles for this song.

[tom120789]

Really EXCELLENT!!!!moving song, you did Sammy Davis Jnr proud!!

[greenbunny13]

Moved to tears. This song has always been one of my favorites. One of the most beautiful versions. Thanks so much

[BuddaBill]

Nice cover.

Grew up with "20 Years of Dirt" in the car so I love the NGDB.

Might have to learn this one myself.

[0258jtj7]

I'm flattered by your comment on my cover of 'Stand A Little Rain'! You're definitely very, very talented!!

[1960jann]

This kid is awesome!

[TheGroceryboys1fan]

I wasn't expecting a good cover but WOW best one I've heard!! (= Keep up the good work!!

Do you write your own music too?

[jmack10hawg]

your right brother this song is great, and you do it justice beautifully.....

[MusicEchos]

NICE!!!

[caltgelt]

Excellent! How come I never heard of this guy?

[xbones101]

Damn! You're GOOD!!!

[sweetin43]

James doesn't need American Idol............he's passed that kid stuff up long ago.......he's on a higher level. Keep it up James!!

[TheAlonzoResistance]

You are an angel with an eagle . . . on his shirt.

[lauradb1957]

Great song. Still havent found ANY song you have done that you have not done better than the original versions. This has to be one of my top 10 songs of all times.

Incredible vocals to match the incredible song. Guitar work could be better but your voice is American Idol quality.

[joel968]

[MrDeceiving]

James, You've gotta be one of the best singers I've heard on youtube! I think you should continue your music career its gonna do you well. Good luck kid!

[jzbman]

James, you have great song choices, like this Dylan tune. I love the inflections of your voice, your phrasing, and the way you get caught up into a song. Your voice has a unique vocal quality. Keep up the great work. God bless.

[francovance1]

What has Dylan got to do with this song?.It was written by Jerry Jeff Walker!

[jzbman]

My bad. All these years I've thought Dylan's was the original.

[4thengle]

This is so great! One of the best covers I've ever heard!

[jgarrison44]

@4thengle That was awesome Dude! I agree...the best cover I've ever heard.

[bluegrassy1]

Very good! Love it. :-)

[charlieohms]

hot damn good song man

[MajSkeeter]

Jerry Jeff Walker has GOTTA be proud after hearin' that!!!! GREAT VOICE MAN!!!!

[Poohkadog]

WOW! I loved it. You have a really good voice. Thanks for sharing.

[Keeferlgb]

Great voice, dude! I love to hear you singing alone, rather than with the full band. Who needs backup singers with a voice like yours. Good luck to you!

[brujaderio]

I like your version better than all the others. You have a great voice, mellow but strong and interesting.

[triathletechink69]

Wow

You did an excellent job, no doubt u did the nitty gritty boyz justice :)

[flintmommy66]

Excellent Job!!

[SirCoughsalot]

Absolutely beautiful.

[myteemouseredux]

If you are going to cover a song, you should state that in you heading...not imply that you are the band who made the song popular.

Other than that....you do a pretty decent job of it.

[futurerancher]

I think it is safe to say that everyone knows who originally sang this song. Awesome job bro...

[skatebaker21]

noo its pretty safe to assume its a cover judging by the picture of the video

[Kiter5Mom]

THANK YOU! You play this exactly like I remember my uncle playing/singing it. It's one of my very favorite memories- listening to him play & sing this song.

[whynotgivitago]

This was just brilliant what a great cover great easy listenin, you sound superb

thanks for the great tune

[LEEDSPETER001]

Perfect. Love this song. I've sung along with you Peter frpm England

[boulevardstar]

Great voice!!!

You did Bojangles justice.

[sjfromlv]

It's awesome that someone so young would cover an oldtimey song like this, and do such a bad ass job of it! You rock!

[AJ24M]

great vocals ,ireally like your interpation of this song . sounds too slow at first ,but quickly grows on ya! nice very nice!!5 star all the way.

[mattiderick]

Great vocals, and not so bad on the guitar either. That song fits your vocal range so well. Great job!

[actnot2]

[uchoot]

i guess the question would be is there anything you can't do ?

[skateboardwherever]

people can sing but man you got the voice!!!

[skateboardwherever]

[youvegotIVIail]

[skater42590]

how come you sound just like the actully artist in every song you play, you voice cant be that diverse to where you sound different in every video. you dont have really a commen sound or octive to your voice

[sekaitekigeijutuka]

your voice is very good. you may as well have mustache. it will suit you.

[sombrespectre]

Nice touch! Your playing and singing are smooth and natural. Are you in the States? Canada? Do you do any live performances? I will pay to hear you.

You have taken this song and made it your own! Good job!

[juz1525]
