  • 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. 

  • Awesome cover !!

  • man wtf? you sing so good. I am amazed.

  • I love that scene <3

  • wow....impressive!

  • 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.

  • this absolutly great! slim would be proud

  • Amazing. I love all your videos.

  • you have the voice to sing a song called majesty by Madrugada.

    find it here on net and I will give you the chords.

  • Just checking back in afrter a few years. Now suffering the loss of my father in law.

    Your song is helping me in my grief. Thank you!

    Keep it posted, will you?

  • Awesome!

  • I love you :)

  • Wow!! That was great :)

  • @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......

  • @fooberdoobs

    Just wanted to tell you: I THOROUGHLY enjoyed your fabulous rendition of a great song. You nailed it, my friend. Thank you.

  • And you'll definitely attract and blow the ladies away with your singing and playing.

  • 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............

  • of all the youtube videos ive seen with singing while playing this is the best ive ever seen

  • Fucking the best...is all i have 2say

  • Excellent!

  • 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!

  • Outstanding!!!!!!!!!

  • Damn good.

  • 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.

  • You have a great voice can you give me the chords please?

  • I am so in love with you right now...Your voice is like liquid sound in my ears.

  • Wow - I'm very impressed!

  • GREAT!!!!

  • What are the chords to this song?

  • 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 !!

  • Damn...AGAIN nice!

  • Cool vocals man ! great song too

  • Excelente!!!! Muy bien tocado tb!!

    Saludos desde Argentina.

  • where did you learn how to play this song?

    Ive been trying to figure out how to play it for a while but I just cant get it.

    what key are you playing in? Ive been playing mine in E flat.

  • 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

  • too great,absolutely lovely!!

  • Great job. Better than Slim. Del McCoury just cut that on his upcoming album.

  • marvelous -- and you look like you are so enjoying singing this song.

  • Absolutely fantastic....

  • 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

  • .. .. Holy shit. First I thought you were just lip syncing.

  • wow

    this is the best cover i have ever heard

    great job man

    u ever think of doin any ray orbinson?

    u should cover his song called only the lonely...i'm sure u could knock it out

  • Awesome job man.

  • you are a very awesome singer :)

    i like ur beard >.> lol

  • is that you singing!? god damn! woot!

  • yes......that's me......

  • Thank you for doing this man. Its a beautiful song and you did an amazing job. This means something to me personally.

  • You should try "Joanne" by Mike Nesmith. It would be great to see how you give it your own style to that forgotten classic.

  • 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 just had to return for another listen... Wow... again, WOW!!

  • Third time, keep it up....

  • 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....

  • We just gotta turn up the lights now, and invite that memorably large debut audience that you've earned...

  • Very nice. The vocals are great.

  • Very nice! Yodeling....an almost lost "musical art" Please, keep it alive with more videos!

  • youre awsome^^

  • great work, sir.

    Would you do me the favor of sending me the chords so I can rock myself to sleep with this one??

    -ash

  • you just rocked a small intimate party on my patio. well done sir.

  • You Sir, are as cool as a fridge in orbit around Ploto.

  • very, very nice!

  • 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

  • Absolutely unreal.

    Cheers

  • holy fuck dewd!! very nicely done .. im a huge metal head but you did a fucking awesome song dewd!! very nice..slim whitman would applaud you !

  • pretty bad ass again man!!! Where did you find the music for this?? Please tell??...

  • That was awsome - nice singing. also enjoyed... Big Bad Bill (is Sweet William Now)

  • sehr gut machste das

  • 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

  • What a wonderful voice! May the lord bless

    you always.

  • Dude you wrecked it, that was so badass, you even challage the original records , WOW , give me the chord progression, I want to learn it

  • nice

  • That's incredible!

  • When I heard the first few lyrics, I thought it was lip syncing Slim Whitman! Dude, you did that song very well! 5 stars!

  • My favorite Slim Whitman song! Thanks for covering it!

  • Well done man !

    It's really excellent ! Bravo !

  • Fantastic! You are stupendously GREAT! What a wonderful voice!

  • 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!

  • oh my god the first 10 seconds i thought u were syncing it, great job!

  • I really enjoyed this - your voice is great.

    thanks

  • awesome job! 5 stars bro!

  • that was nice. Before clicking the link, i figured, ah, it's gunna be anothr tard butchering a great sone. I was pleasantly sursprised.

    rock on...........GOBAMA!!!

  • 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.

  • john graham

  • I'm sorry, piraton 26, what do you mean by "john

    graham"??......

  • u have a good voice

  • 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.........

  • well done! good singing

  • Very great, I like it very much

  • thats awesome man...20/10...from a great film aswell

  • beautiful, man !

  • Wow.

    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.

  • Amazing! Congratulations on re-creating a beautiful song.

  • beautiful

  • wow mate that was amazing!!!

    i seriously hope your in a country band and not letting that talent go to waste brother!!! :)

  • 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!!!

  • Damn, Matt. Amazing!

  • dam fine performance , Slim would be proud

  • One of my favorite Slim Whitman songs. I can't think of a better cover I've heard. Nice falsetto. You did an amazing job!

  • 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?

  • great voice man, tough song to cover as far as vocals go. a really beautiful and creepy sounding song, i like it

  • 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...

  • you have a very special voice. like the last text said beautiful.

  • beautiful man

  • 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.........
