  • 16 people have no soul

  • Absolutly freaking amazing!!!!!! I have always loved James Taylor and to hear him singing wit ZBB touches my soul in a way only music can. I am a singer/song writer and my dream has always been to hear one of the greats of classic rock sing one of my songs. Good job Zach Brown Band!!!!

  • Huge fan of both Zac Brown and James Taylor!

  • My family has always loved James Taylor since my grandfather heard his first song and said this guys gonna be huge. ZBB warrants the same reaction now. They are a very, very talented band, and the combination of the two just sounds amazing.

  • I always thought Zac Brown sounds like James Taylor, I think it is the reason I enjoy listening to him so much. Watching them perform together is truely amazing! Two very gifted men sharing a great moment!

  • JUST WANTED TO THX ALL THOSE AMAZIN VIEWERS OF MY UPLOAD...IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR NOW & THE AWESOME COMMENTS STILL COME IN EVERY WEEK ON THIS BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE....POSSIBLY NEVER TO BE DUPLICATED AGAIN & IT'S SO COOL THE WARM RESPONSE IT STILL GETS!

  • @MrTreknation A year later I still pull this up for the shear joy of the great collaboration.!

    Thanks for posting!

  • Wow I'm so mad I missed this. James Taylor is so Awesome and to see this would have been awesome. I'm so mad.

  • Literally cried!

  • holy shit that's great!!! all the other artists in the crowd should be worried that zac and his band are gunna put them in the poor house. man are they talented. goosebumps?hell yeah!

  • WOOHOOO JAMES TAYLOR

    

  • That was freekin fantastic- gave me goosebumps!!

  • There were many who thought Bobby gill should have performed this venue, but his style was too new. Watch my movie for more info.

  • Amazing! Nothing more to say but that.

  • James Taylor is timeless.

  • 3:13.... hits it with such emotion and taylor's face loves it

  • my peanut butter sandwich is stuck in my throat from getting choked up! This is beautiful.

  • well, i just got goosebumps

  • I absolutely Loved this duet. Thanks so much for posting. In my opinion it was one of the best performances of the night. Old and the New and both so talented and I love them both.

  • Sorry for your lose copperhead i lost my baby sister to cancer also

    10 month's ago trust me my friend it's not easy she was only 42

  • I'll be losing my younger sister soon, she's the closest person to me in my life. She has cancer and she wont be able to get cured. I've listened to this song and think of her everyday and the day she leaves this world this song will be in my heart forever. I will miss her when she goes, but i know i'll see her again. I Love You Alexandra!!

  • Totally Awesome!!!

  • Actually brought tears to my eyes.

  • performance of zacs life and james taylor what else can you say awesome

  • could the audience get any more annoying?

  • I just love this!!!

  • there is no way I can describe how this touches me. What a beautiful moment in time and I'm so glad I got to hear these two together singing two songs that are very meaningful to me.

  • Man it must be an amazing feeling to stand on stage and see James Taylor singing your words! Top notch!!

  • 1:28 the face zac has when he's thinking: i have a legend in front of me

  • This has got to be one of the most beautiful and poignant songs ever. I can listen to it over and over again, and it never gets old. Zac Brown band's sound is just the right fit for this song. With James Taylor, it is as near to perfection as a performance can get.

  • Speechless at the beauty of this.

  • i love JT but i cant help but feel he kinda forgot the lyrics

  • Comment removed

  • @TechTalkTips he didn't forget the lyrics....

    it just wasn't his line to sing.....but he caught himself

    he's awesome!!!

  • Amazing duet, I wish I were there!

  • Woooow ! wooooow!

    incredible ! tears from my eyes!! I do love this.Thanks for sharing!

  • I LOVE THIS

    I LOVE THIS.MY VERY FAVORITES. JAC & JAMES.

  • If you still love a woman from your past that you walked out on, this song reaches the depths of your damn soul. 

  • @06aioros damnstraight homie damnstraight........

  • Look at Zac's face @1;35, he is in awe of playing with a legend!!! Love it, hell I would have been the same damn way~~~~~~

  • When the Beatles signed James Taylor to apple records they did American music about the biggest favor in American music history! I would be hard pressed to think of anyone who had a broader influence than JT. That includes Elvis ! Just about every modern country, blues, rock, gospel owe alot of their rootes to Taylor! For god sakes even Elvis covered him!!

  • OUTSTANDING !!!

  • smoooothe

  • JT and I are about the same age. He's been my idol since he started. I hope he keeps going as long as possible.

  • how are there only 251,699 views of this perfomance?? is it me or should this be recognized as ZZB's best performance ever? You can just see it all over everyones face at the end, they all got ZACD!!! JT was good, but he knows it, and we know it, Zac kicked his ass up there vocally!

  • What an amazing song. These guys sound great together!!! I hope they sing a few more songs together soon.

  • I can not say how much I love this song.... It brings tears to my eyes every single time.... BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • nothing beats that, nothing, oorah

  • very good tune ,very good

  • Comment removed

  • i loved that they did this. great job guys!

  • amazine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • JT, such a beautiful man. I was born the same day as James, 12March1948. I so wish I was him, and I try, but there's only one real JT (my nickname too) on this planet now. I love him so much. Thanks for sharing this. It is wonderful.

  • LOVE!!! :) :)

  • simply, awesome!!

  • beautiful voices

    

  • What's up with JT wearing hats nowadays? He didn't used to.

  • Amazing!!!! Thanks for the post!

  • ITS HERE FROST WORNING WV.

  • Its 30 degrees Celsius right now, and this song still managed to give me chills......

  • These go together like a hand in a glove!!!! Lots of love for this song!

  • 12 people are deaf.

  • One word "Fantastic "

  • i got chillls right

  • i am 20 i grew up in a house always playing JT wouldn't have it any other way his music is so pure and now to see him singing with zac omg!

  • Dear God!. gives me chills. absolutely incredible

  • @scoop3211 You really r an idiot...your mom must be so proud!!

  • everytime we watch this...amazing!! Thanks for posting!

  • so pissed i missed this when it aired! two of my favorites, so amazing<3

  • @scoop3211

    "I'm amazed that no one sees............ " 190000 people are not idiots, of course we see some of the things you see. The point about Zac getting furious ZBB themselves denies.

    What most of us reflect on is the respect they show each other, the mood, the beauty of the song.

    I loved to hear them perform together. It was an experience that has burned into my memory.

    It has know been 4 months since I was into this forum, and I have become a ZBB fan.

    A JT fan I have always been.

  • It just doesn't get much better than this.

    They should have gotten " best song" for this?

  • Beautiful thanks for sharing!!!!! Love the duo!!!!!!!

  • Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Incredible!!!!!!!!!

  • Honestly this is a wonderful video ..that just gives you goosebumps everytime .... thank you so much for posting it .....2 fantastic artists/singers ..it is . almost emotional zac with the great living legend that is JAMES TAYLOR.thanks again

  • the look on zac's face as james is singin, he's actually singin my song, awesome

  • awesome

  • This song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!!!!!!

  • This will be remembered forever new classic love kind music so laidback

  • In all of this songs videos you can see it in his eyes, so much emotional power is thrown into this song. This is real music nothing can compare, I swear in every video he wants to cry but he just fights it back. Its like his tears are fed into the song.

  • Zac and James?!?!? It doesn't get any better than that!!!!

  • Zac did good by not letting his voice over power James

  • @SIMPLYTEETS lol troll, ur stupid.

  • saying zac didnt let "his" voice over power james voice is plain stupid.

  • @SIMPLYTEETS ZAC IS AWESOME, YET JAMES TAYLOR IS THE KING. I SAW HIM, MY FIRST CONCERT IN 1973, AND NO ONE HAS DONE WHAT HE HAS OVER THEIR LIFETIME THAT CAN COMPARE. HE HAS A 40+ YEAR SUCCESS, NOT EVEN HANK WILLIAMS DID WHAT JAMES HAS ACCOMPLISHED! EVERYONE LOVES JAMES.

  • UNBELIEVABLE! Great talent can always share the stage and the kudos. Singing from the heart raises the goosebumps all right. Both men have awesome talent. Thanks for posting. Glad I found it! Ü

  • More People need to hear this song a hidden gem.

  • thumbs up if u got mad chills at 2:40, zac is such an amazing singer live

  • Zac sounds just as good live, Damn good performer.

  • one word WOW!!

  • Comment removed

  • Not to sound strange,I think this song was meant for James Taylor,Zac Brown does ans awesome job,but James did it better.

  • No one can touch the way JT just rips your heart out and lays it on the table in front of you

  • the six ppl that disliked this must be morons, might be top five greatest performances of all time

  • I love the way zac looks at jt full admiration

  • Zac Brown is a Die Hard JT fan. thats why theres so much chemistry

  • this is chemistry

  • Great performance!

  • I hope Zac Brown understands how lucky he is to sing with JT

  • @daciavous

    he does. it shows

  • He has a strong neck..

  • GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!! Thanks for posting. What a lovely song.

  • I've never heard of Zac Brown before (don't think he's big in Australia) but this is just MAGIC!!! I'm a die hard JT fan and this is off the hook!!

  • WTF 6 Dislikes ?

  • NO AUTO TUNE REQUIRED....

  • a legand and a legand in the making! does it get any better?

  • you know its a great song if the live version is better then the studio version

  • Wow...just wow. Outstanding.

  • I'm a huge JT fan!  Loved this pairing up with Zac Brown Band.

  • 5 people have no soul... Just saying.

    But seriously thanks for posting! An amazing duet.

  • whoever disliked this video should be exiled from the US of A

  • 1:28 Zac is lovin James Taylor right there

  • This is truly awesome!

  • i just wish my dad was still alive to see this

  • If you dont like the song or band there something BAD wrong with yea

  • 3:11 James Taylor messed up... this song still gives me chills!

  • So beautiful song I love it.

  • It is a great song made even greater by James presence he is a master of his craft keep it going James .wonderful duet .

  • I love it! ! Two great voices that sends chills down my spine when I hear them singing this! !

  • I remember when this came on and I watched it with the family in the living room. The effect it had was amazing. As a North Carolinian born and bred, James Taylor is naturally my favorite singer ever. This performance blew everyone away. And I'm 17. I didn't even get to see James Taylor in his prime, and he still amazes everyone here. A true legend.

  • what a beautiful and amazin transition to baby james

  • who is the chick at 4:33 with the flannel on?

  • @rotensnatchmuffdiver her name is Sonia Leigh, a Southern Ground artist and friend of ZBB. Her song "My name is money" is on Itunes I believe. She is awesome!!!

  • This is real music. Absolutely beautiful.

  • I am 57 years old and not an everyday Youtuber, HOWEVER, I saw this as it was performed that night and it totally totally blew me away. I love love love my man James and Zac is amazing. Thanks so so much for the post - I've watched many many times and it still brings tears to my eyes and actual cold chills. XXOOO

  • @BrightBuiltHomesLou .....My video has been up since April...and it still gets a fair amount of views... every time I watch it, I enjoy it...it will end up to be a classic that I think will get viewed for years!!

  • @BrightBuiltHomesLou

    ty. 54 here....and just love zac brown and band. sooooo talented~~~~!!! :)

  • @BrightBuiltHomesLou.... I cant stop watching this....brings tears to my eyes every time....sometimes a song just touches you at the right time of your life ya know...

  • @BrightBuiltHomesLou Just Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Who the hell would dislike this song? 5 Dislikes????

  • @bigdaddyquey ...true enough but the ratio is pretty damn good!!

  • @bigdaddyquey Teens & preteens whose parents have never taken the time or responsibility to expose them to the classics!!!!!

  • No words.... my all time favorite singing with my new favorite... Zac is truley gifted.. and had partnered himself with the greats... James Taylor and Jimmy Buffett... life is really good

  • Absolutely love it!!!!

  • zac is getting around frist with kid rock then alan jackson then jimmy buffet and now james taylor

  • Great job!!

  • man does JT just go straight to the heart... unreal

  • LOVE that lid that JT is wearing. He reminds me of Bill Monroe with that hat on.

  • This is one for the ages. I love around 1:26, where you can see Zach Brown looking at JT with kid in a candy store look on his face. I bet JT was digging this too. This could almost have been one of his songs. "You've got a gypsy soul to blame and you were born for leaving." And how nicely JT"s patented guitar licks fit the song so well around 3:30. And then a bat out of hell change straight into SBJ. Great. stuff.

  • I've been looking for this Vid since the ACM awards aired! Awesome! ♥

  • Respond to this video...well I'm glad you finally found me...I had it up the next morning, one of only two, I think on the Tube? Anyway...it truly is a classic, I just loved it!!!

    MrTreknation

  • I'm 57 yrs. old and I've been with JT from the beginning. He gets better with every day that passes. Respect to Zac Brown, he's got a great future. How did we humans get so blessed?

  • Awesome!!! Two excellent musicians!! Wish I could have seen it live.

  • That Rocks JT is still one of the best

  • RESPECT!!!! A singer not known for country music grabs a standing ovation at the ACM Awards as he exits the stage. And you could literally see how honored Zac Brown was to be playing with JT. James Taylor is an icon in all music circles.

  • @kmel5150 ....it is truly amazing the legs this video has after being up for over a month...I love it & the performance!!

  • how unbelievable was this ???!!!!! how awesome is zac brown (and sexy!! lol)...not to mention james taylor with him!! how wonderful that james taylor is one of zac browns idols...if you watch closely you will see him smiling during jame's solo!

  • how unbelievable was this ???!!!!!

  • These guys go so well together...colder weather is such James Taylor-ish song and their styles are really similar despite being different genres. Great performance, they need to do an album together

  • I remember watching this on TV and feeling the goosebumps rise on my arms when JT started singing the second verse. I've been listening to James Taylor since I was a teenager (I'm in my 40s now), and I never get tired of listening to his music. His voice was strong and his smile was bright. This was an amazing performance, and the Zac Brown Band got robbed of a CMA that night. (No offense, Lady Antebellum fans!)

  • @CKSmalley ....I'm still averaging over 800 views a day on this video....that is testament to what you are saying....lots of folks love this performance, Including myself!!!

  • I absolutely love this song. I have always been a HUGE james Taylor fan and now a HUGE Zac Brown Band Fan. What an awesome collaberation. Thank you for sharing this with us.

  • Zac, you and JT need to show up in Springfield, Missouri at the Get Prepared Expo! That would be awesome. And hell it's in your backyard anyway. Get your asses up here. May 14-15. I can put both of you in touch with the organizers. This would be fun!

  • Zach Brown and James Taylor. Another night singing' me to sleep! It's better then counting sheep any day of the week. Thanks Mr. Treknation? Will this be made into a single? If you have any pull I'm rooting for you!

  • @mysmithfamily ....well your r welcome but unfortunately I'm just some YouTuber who recognized how great this performance was & uploaded it...but I would be surprise if they don't record together? 

  • I LOVE YOU FOR POSTING THIS I LOVE THESE DUO

  • Comment removed

  • how lucky is zac brown band? i would have died on stage. james taylor is my hero <3

  • Thanks fo posting this! I saw this on tv. Now I can watch it over again and again. Going to see James Taylor again in 2 days! I LOVE him!!!!!

  • Thanks for posting this beautiful some. It literally lifts me just to watch it. I've found myself looking for it on you tube when I'm having a bad day.

  • @mysmithfamily ....well by all means bookmark it to your favorites, it's the only descent version on the Tube! I listen myself almost every day!

  • I have listened and loved James Taylor's voice and music since the sixties, and I have yet to grow tired of watching him sing and perform. I doubt I ever will.....thanks for posting. God Bless.....

  • @OleBlues ...it is my pleasure....looking forward to comments like this for years to come!

  • I'm just curious...who the two dislikes are...just can't figure out what there is to not like about this classic performance? I predict a 500,000 views by the end of the year on this one!!...I LOVE THIS DUET!!!

  • This is a once in a lifetime performance! Whoever came up with this duo for the CMA awards deserves a raise! Zac & Jame's voices blend perfectly and it is so cool to see Zac's obvious admiration for JT, and the "I can't believe I am singing with James Taylor" expression on his face! Superb quality, too. I will watch this over and over again. Thank you so much, Mr. Treknation.
