  • good version well done guys

  • This makes me feel good! Thank you!

  • HOLY SHIET O_O

  • i'm 23, only really listen to metal, but i do recognise this as real music, music for the world. well done.

  • Awesome!

    

  • Can we please see a bluegrass version of "Pump Up Kicks"???

  • @debbij oh i love that idea. it's perfection!

  • I can't even listen to the other one anymore, this is just so much better, so much heart.

  • The female singer is... more than gorgeous

  • Fireftp sent me here.

  • hahah that was just great! thx for sharing!

  • Lol I like this version country may sound boring sometimes but this is awesome

  • no country but Dawns, agreed.

  • I hate country, but love Dawn Landes. Call me weird.

  • Comment removed

  • it made me smile :)

  • Excellent... so peaceful

  • this was a great cover

  • Dawn is Smart, Skilled, and Pulchritudinous. Perfect symbolism of Old Folks singing with Young Folks.

  • Excellent arraignments. Great instrumentation in general, really. I've respect for the production work done by Bjorn of PB&J, but I'm not the biggest fan of the band. "Young Folks" is throwback to the songwriting done by the folks of the Brill Building, Hoagy Carmichael, Cole Porter in that it can be suited to fit just about any pop styling. Well done.

  • This is pretty good. I wouldn't end the phrases on the major tonic though, it kinda takes away from the modal sound of the original.

  • very beautiful voice

  • her dancing is awkward ... the best cover i've heard in a while.

  • oooh.... man this is nice.

  • nothing beats old men singing

  • beautiful voice.

  • Awesome!

  • id love to have a harmonica tab for this, if anyone knows it please send it to me.

  • Goosebumps, even tho this isn't my style of music. I love it.

  • hello, can you give me the chords or notes(whatever) for harmonica of your cover of "Young Folks", please

    thanks

  • im jealous of those grandpas jamming with such a beautiful girl

  • I Like!:-D

  • This is charming. And I am damn near uncharmable.

  • NICE!!!! I like it!

  • Great work !!! Who would have thought that this song would work so well with this music. Again - great work. I love it.

    And for take 2, someone there must be able to whistle. :)

  • Great work !!! Who would have thought that this song would work so well with this music. Again - great work. I love it.

    And for take 2, someone there must be able to whistle. :)

  • amazing.....so good..,.....very nice

  • speechless.....

  • nice ;)

  • holy shit fuck this is the best cover ive ever heard

  • Dawn Landes is amazingly strong and talented, and for some reason, I just love this version alot more. :)

  • the fucking BESTEST!

  • Underbar låt som man vill höra om och om igen. Sedan blir det inte sämre att tjejen som sjunger är så söt, håller också med om att violinen gör sitt till.

    Wonderful song that you want to hear again and again. Since it will not be worse that the girl who sings is so sweet, also agree that the violin does its for.

  • i absolutly HATE bluegrass, but this song is great!!

  • wow awsome version!!!! great singing, and that violin makes it even more enjoyable! :)

  • she's amazing, and this song has mended itself to my heart. you see, a few years back I was traveling the states riding freight trains.. I was given an unlabeled mix cd with this song and a few others on it.. well, every day for a year I listened to this song not knowing the name of it, or even who sang it.

  • you can say that again Jerk....

  • I love this! and you girl: You`re fucking AWSOME AND AMAZING!!!!

  • holy crap! This is actually a really cool cover

  • Best version of this odd song by far! It was made to be given this treatment. Saw Dawn Landes perform in London last year. Great singer doing great songs and covers, 'Southern Accent' being one of them.

  • OMFG DOWNHOME AWESOME.

  • Prettiest voice out there in my opinion, bar none. Wonderful.

  • Louisville's own Dawn Landes

  • Ohhhh god I love it.

  • iiiiiihhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaa

  • \m/

  • you guys seem lucky, having such a great community

  • amazing......

  • god job dawn landes

  • I love you Dawn - soooo pretty

  • Most of the time you'll see an old country or some bluegrass song become a big rock hit but this time a nice twist, a pop song made into a nice bluegrass song. (vice versa).

  • Great job. 5*****

  • you are amazing..wow..

  • What a great take on this song and a classic video.

    The dueling vocal sounds complement each other so well.

  • Oh my god! that's really awesome!!!! I loved this cover!

  • Super Lovely :D

  • WOW, I love the original but this one really packs some heart. What a great singer. So lovely!

  • how can i get your song?

  • i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee your version!!!

  • PapaDocN3D dead right mate, it makes a welcome change to see a lovely young woman getting on with the music and not playing up to the cameras. Good bunch of bloke swith her too,

  • What a incredibly talented and pretty lady. She has such a natural beauty, inner and outer... and it's reflected in her music. :)

  • Ha! This is kind of great isn't it?

  • yes... you can drop the "?" because it is!

  • I bet she listens to Townes van Zandt... her vocal inflections remind me of him.

  • Mola la canción. Maravillosa versión y maravillosa voz. Estoy hasta la polla de oir versiones lamentables que no aportan nada. Esto es diferente. This cover rocks. Lovely song and lovely lead vocals. I am sick of listening to awfull covers but this is different. So... congratulations from Spain.

  • nice~!

    super nice~!!!

    :D

  • Absolutely real and absolutely beautiful!

  • I totally agree.. once a week at least...

  • i have to listen to this atleast once a week.

  • I'm in love.

  • I got dibbs.. you wait your turn

  • He meant the old chap in vest and hat.

  • Increible es mejor que la version original tin tin tin tin tin tin tin tin .......

  • this is so awesome!

  • my grandpa is the guy playing the bass! i can't believe i found this!!

  • Your grandpa is the bomb!

  • OMG this is awesome!!!!! love the bluegrass style!

  • im a big fan of dawn and she's a great artist...and i like this cover version...it's cool ^-^

  • i love it also

  • Huge fan of the original.. but this one is great in its own way.. the girl singing is very very easy on the eyes too..!!

  • That's so great! GREEEAAT! (:

    They're tears in my eyes (:

  • haha this is fun :D

  • unique !

  • that´s so nice. ;D

  • i didn't think i'd like this version, but i really do.

    she has a great voice.

  • Thats really awesome guy's n gal's ,, i really like peter bjorn & john , and this really does them justice. im sure they would dig it too, keep it up ,,,, ps i would so marry that girl singing ! lol

  • I just love how that sounds . Very Cool.

  • Very nice

    I like the (I think) violin whisteling part

  • love it

  • so cute!

  • I think I am in LOVE! New fave female vocalist!!

  • That looked fun to make!

  • Sorry but James Blunt doesn't hold a patch on Dawn, now if he gets Dawn to do the girly voice instead of doing it himself, then they have something, otherwise it's just as gay as xmas :) and this version is excellent :)

  • this is a really nice version. very pretty song.

  • Just Awesome :)))

  • As is your taste then, it appears.

  • would've been better with Alfalfa(r.i.p.) on vocals

  • i really hope she makes it big.

    i love her.

  • This was really good....

    but i wouldn't go dissing James Blunt, he did really good with it too.

  • I love this version! Amazing!

  • WOW great people...great music!

  • very nice

  • WOAH @-)

  • great artist really.

  • very nice cover. I must admitt it's the best of all covers. but the original with it's whistling is still the best

  • this is absolutely wonderful and inspired. it's like dawn landes uncovered a whole new diamond in what was already such a sweet, sparkling song.

    actually, i had never heard of dawn landes before today. i downloaded her album straight lines this morning, and have been listening to it all day. she's got a new fan.

  • Lovely !

    It has a kind of mixed feeling between folk and hippie music due to it's 'soft style'... : )

  • better then james blunt.

  • muito melhor!!!

    Way better!!!!

  • Haha, what isn't better than James Blunt? This isn't bland, watered down nonsense. I love this version. Excellent stuff.

  • I'm back to watch for the 30th time.

    Still enjoying it tremendously!!!

  • This is so not "young folks" performance :P - who knew that a Sweed pop song would turn into a celtic oldies song.

    Pimpin!!!!!!! :)

  • I'm still diggin' this. C'mon people let's get it to 200 000 views!

  • Me too!  Won't be hard to view Dawn another 750 times :)

  • Comment removed

  • I mean one THOUSAND views a week. Ahh, we made it! Go Dawn:)

  • You've gotta laugh eh. I mean, you've gotta love it.

  • Thanks, that was great! Very fresh, alive, real, pure, lovely, amazing. I found you through Jesh de rox photophraphy website.

  • how'd Dawn squeeze into those jeans? It was worth the effort...she's so lovely...oh, and talanted!

  • i love this version,pure voices both male and females

  • yeah! that rocks, erm bluegrasses!!

  • This is amazing.

  • I'm from Scotland, I'd actually never heard of bluegrass until I found youtube videos, now I can't get enough of it.

    The Lady singing this song has just an incredably sexy voice, do you have any more videos of this group?

  • I'm gonna bust your chops a bit, but your ancestors gave us this music..well some of your Scottish ancestors and Irish folks. "Bluegrass" style music comes from the "Scott-Irish" that settled in to our appalachian foothills (Kentucky, Tennessee, etc). You will find a lot of Irish tunes that were carried over into our bluegrass.

    There are a lot of good artists out there, for more "present day" stuff cehck out Gillian Welch and Old Cros Medicine Show...you'll like them!

  • ooops, comment below is for "mustangmilligan" below....hehehe I guess our ancestors didn't bless us with a lot of smarts.

  • The fiddle style has some similarities to traditional scots for sure, but I wasn't aware of the bluegrass connection to it, or the Scots and Scots-Irish connection in that part of the world. Thanks for the comment! I'll check out your other recomendations as well!

  • Absolutely brilliant!

  • great voice, cool song!!!!!!

  • very nice, different, good words and vocal's

  • Wow, that looked like a lot of fun making that video. I really liked the song a lot too. Keep the vids rolling.

  • Saw Dawn play live in Norwich, England, last year or there abouts. Thought she was good,but wasn't blown away. But this cover is so fresh. Dawn, your voice has so much presence, very memorable. I'm gonna check your stuff out again. Best wishes.

  • She has a great voice - - reminds me of Iris Dement. Great cover!
