2 people don't have ears.... Tough song. You are solid on the guitar and the vox. Great job! Cool audio effects too. I recorded a version with my wurlitzer electric piano.
I'm 64 and during my younger years my family listened to Slim Whitman on the radio, my grandmother loved his singing, and I was able to hear him live in concert several years ago. Let me say that in the beginning, I thought it was a voice over until I saw the excellent guitar work and it matched. I play guitar and was impressed by the chording especially on this very hard song. You are good my friend, very, very good. Now, sing my grandmother's favorite, "Indian Love Call" I'll be waiting.
@19Kimberly88 Garageband has a sample of an old scratchy record that you can put on recordings to make it sound old...this is 100% me...I'm an impressionist....and listen to any of Slim's recordings of this song...you'll find that not only do our voices sound nothing alike, but he's a far better vocalist...and if you're still not convinced, watch ANY of my other videos...try and make sure you know what your talking about before you make a fool of yourself slamming people on the net......
@19Kimberly88 Hey dude or dudess,I played guitar proffessionally for a number of years.This guy is genuine.His problem is he is so good people are going to think he is fake.
Hot damn mister,that's F£$%^"ing double excellent.A damn hard one to sing as well.You nailed it to the floor.Try "Ribbon of darkness" by gordon Lightfoot.
WOW! Nice singing and playing! I was expecting some wannabe old school country performance. But you proved me wrong BIG TIME! Keep up the good work man! Again Bravo!
I have been singing this song on stage for years and I was really impressed by the youth of this man singing this song and what a great job you did. A really super good job son. If you knew who I was you would be surprised. Keep up the good work............
I never heard this song till I seen the movie "House of a 1000 corpses",I have to say it stuck into my mind since.Wish I had my guitar so I could try to learn this,great job!
Sorry to comment again like a lameass, but I just have to say....damn. I listen to this over and over because not only is it a favorite song of mine, but you do it so much justice. I even showed my mom, and she flipped her shit. Your falsetto is orgasmic and between you and me, when guys can break their voices as flawlessly as you can, I get very, very excited. Well, well done.
Great job !! I love this song ... i heard it in "House Of A 1000 Corpses" and i had to find out what it was .. i was surpised it was Slim Whitman ... you do it great !!
this has to be a complicated song to do, and you have done it well. i like this song, but i don't care for slim whitmans version.
i think glen campbell has done this one also. great job, and what a masterpiece to hit the high notes the way you have.........super!!!!!!!!!!thanks for sharing....susie
That's fine singin! the pickin ain't bad either. No, Really, that is a wonderful rendition of Slim Whitman's song that is even more enjoyable. You need a band behind you and a good bar to let us listen
Que cabron.... I turned mad when I heard your take of "BIG BAD BILL" and I did it again with this !!! You are great, man, and I mean GREAT. Greatings from Spain
I agree with this guy. I'd like to hear you try "Joanne." Then again, maybe you shouldn't. It's a hard song to sing. (You guys think this approach will trick him into doing it?)
I don't know who you are, I would like to...I want to tell you...this is the second time I have listened to this....You can't do what Slim does, but you sound good, very very good. Very pleasant....I like you very much...Don't feel bad there is only one Slin...., but you are very good....
I never really comment much on videos... but my gawd this was just was too amazing to not say anything... totally brilliant dude I really hope some record company sees this otherwise wut a waste of an awesome talent. well done mate
wow, very impressive to say the least. You really got this tune down. Very good singing ability. That's got to be a difficult tune to do. Love that song always too! Thanks!!
very nice, I heard you do this a couple days ago, then I just spent 20 mins trying to find it again. Wasnt easy, but I put it in my favorites. Well done, nice to see young folks do justice to old classics. Dont stop at that song. How about doing some of the Mavericks tunes. You could pull that off! Thanks
hey man, could you by any chance send on tabs or chords of this song, i'd love to play it, can play a good bit but there's a few changes here that you do nicely! if possible it'd be great as ive searched all over google to no avail!
I think you nailed this song mate and like the "antique" sound. I only looked the song up because of 1000 corpses but its a great tune and really worked in the film scene.
You are really good when you hit it. And you hit it a lot. Check out my vids. I'd like to be in a band with you. Or even a duo. We could make a ton of money.. Sara Smile was superb, as was this.
On this one, I worked to make the sound quality kind of old and 'phonograph' sounding.........It's hard to capture a vintage-sounding performance with digital equipment.........
Have you ever tried "Joanne" by Mike Nesmith or "Crying" by Roy Orbison? Two very difficult songs to pull off convincingly, but you have the chops to do it if anyone does.
Man.. You have 2 great things going in that performance... A great voice for an unknown guy... A great song that simply moves people to the very center of their souls... Somebody sign the boy up!!!
Awesome rendition of a difficult song. Kudos, great voice, and fine picking. An thoroughly enjoyable listening experience. An chance I could get the chord progression for the song?
Freakin' sweet, man! I've tried to sing this song and I just couldn't cut it, so I don't bother amy more. Amazing voice! I don't know anyone who can sing like you. Cheers...
