I Never Go Around Mirrors - Keith Whitley

[japierce15]

....and a cutie ;)

[hoopcat100]

I have heard every song this young man has covered on youTube and I have to say, that he has the most constant tone and pitch, and his phrasing is spot on. I don't see how he isn't signed to a record deal. I love everything he does. Great to hear these old standards again, and with such passion. Love you son. As long as there are people like you, country will never die.

[RealCountryvideos]

@hoopcat100 at last that i know he now has a record deal and he 's coming to my hometown March 9-10

[newfiegirlie24]

he should do a canadian tour

[RealCountryvideos]

@newfiegirlie24 he will be in Bouctouche New Brunswick March 9-10

[marybethmarks]

[starshine428]

I started with some of your more recent ones and am seeing some of your very early ones. I can see how you've matured and polished both yourself and your performing. I am looking forward to seeing your progress further, especially since you were on Ellen's show.

And yes, my facebook fans, I AM still going to be posting about James, he's that good!

[ljelley1]

Someday, you will be known as the guy who introduced the next generation to Keith Whitley (and Lefty) and Jackson Browne. Still lovin your music man.

[Bryan1963]

Keith WOULD BE "proud"... NICE!

[flatpicker1234]

[Randy83756379]

I don't know if someone as ever told you but you sound just like Randy Travis ... OMG ...

[nellowys]

I always thought this was a Merle Haggard song. Hmm. Shall have to investigate...

[flintmommy66]

Awesome voice

[me167968]

I could listen to you all night you are great

[missfiveday]

@me167968 Ive been hooked for the past 2 hours....just found him tonight....

[jdtduff]

Just enrolled in youtube. I love true traditional country music; whitley, haggard, jones, don williams. These guys have a distinctive voice that sound unlike any others in the music business, You, my friend, also have the same type voice that is commercial. You do not, and you don't want to, sound exactly like Whiley. Be yourself. What you need to do is get your butt to Nashville. I can assure you if you are heard that you will be picked up by a record company. Your fan, John

[rmo24]

hey you should  try doing some of keith's bluegrass songs.. bet you would sound great doing those too :)

[rmo24]

hey james! you sound just like keith whitley! sound wonderful ! when ya going to nashville?????

[scd574]

Man, What A Voice!!! I Thought At First This IS Another Person Singing A Cover But, I Was Wrong.Great Job Man,You Have The Talent And The Voice!! Your Gifted.

[PaulinaRena]

You sure do a great job with this song - a fine voice and guitar playing. This song has been recorded by so many artists and I think you could stack up against some of them anytime. Thanks for sharing. - Paula

[jjkcharlie]

[RneckGirl92]

[jrice4GT]

You have an outstanding voice, I'm a huge Keith Whitley fan and I'm glad to see you keeping his songs alive. If you take requests, I would love to hear you sing " It's all coming back to me now" by keith.

[masonb82]

I second that! Let's hear it! My favorite Keith Whitley song.

[chewink6]

[cherchee1]

whoever wrote about james being cocky, is just trying to get attention. we all ca see with our own eyes that james a regular man.

[jimmyb39]

i have no idea what the hell your talking about, "cocky as shit". i think he is the most humble talented person ive seen. i have watched almost all of his videos and not once have seen him be cocky. the mans got amazing talent so let him do what he does without assclowns like you cutting him down.

[LEOGETZMO]

good job young man impressive!! good ear.

[bluegrasscowgurl87]

Great Job...I know singers who would kill to have range like that! Keep it up...

[haybaler97]

HOT DAMN. You got a solid future in country music.

[blitzedchic]

Damn fine playing and singing. Your a star in my book. Keep on keeping on.

[heavywaite30]

Holy Shit man! Fantastic!!!! I'm a guitarist and a singer myself. I LOVE this song...and I have a new FAVORITE artist! You are truly awesome. I look forward to seeing/hearing more stuff from you! You've got alot of talent. Kudos.

[JimmyDoonin]

You my friend are a modern day troubadour. I am really impressed with the quality of your voice. You have another fan.

All the best BillyRay

[ArkansasAngel27]

there is so many comments on this video about who wrote it and who recoreded it that its unreal. I dont think it really matters who wrote or recorded this song, the only thing that matters is that James sang it and he did a magnificent job on it. Well done James.

Heather
