  • this song has gotten me through so much in my life, and this is such an amazing cover of it; you really do it justice. forget all the comparisons people are making to other artists, you're in a class all your own.

  • even if he wasn't good looking, the voice alone would make me fall in love with him

  • can you breath through those fucked up nostrils

  • You wouldn't happen to have a tab of this would you :( I like your cover version, has a good rhythmic feel to it.

  • i want to fuck this boy.

  • just pure talent brad :D your fantastic

  • Holy cow, dude! YES, MORE

  • you remind me of john mayer. super fricken talented man. keep it up and i bet you'll get famous.

  • Beautiful voice. made my heart melt<3

  • Nice Job kid... Don't need the fake guitar. Voice is sweet weak but pure. You have a gift. Please keep sharing.

  • You look like Adrian Brody. Thats definately a good thing. :)

  • So pretty!

    

  • sing stronger! it would be soo much better. your voice is too airy

  • wow!! your voice is so amazing!!!!!! :)

  • Man, i just watched a bunch of covers of this song and they have all been good, mostly. But you totally made it your own both with the singing and guitar playing. By far the best cover on youtube imo!

    Keep it up dood!

  • love it! im a huge james taylor fan, and you did an awesome job, more james taylor maybe?

  • Uh, marry me?

  • Wow. Can't believe I've only just found this song after 20 years of playing acoustic stuff. Sure I've heard of James Taylor but always passed me by somehow. Anyway was just watching a show about the post-Woodstock bad vibes that went through folk-America and this came on. This is a lovely cover with some great personal interpretation. I've got most of it down after an hour just need to learn to sing to it now.

  • Good Job! But you need to get your own place. It sounds like you're keeping your voice down to keep from waking your folks.

  • If you really play and sing this all by yourself it`s completely awsome, Thumbs up mate and cheers!!!"

  • Thank you for this. It's one of my favorite songs in the world, and I am so in love with you.

  • you're too good man

  • you have such an amazing voice, definetely your own style. I also did a cover of this song, check it out sometime & comment back!

  • this is absolutely perfect! :]

  • amazing :p

  • as if i havent found you yet!

  • get real

  • i already loved your music before i saw that you did this song, and i honestly fell even more in love haha. this is one of my favorite songs, and you did not disappoint.

  • Hey Brad, I'm a long time fan and subscriber, don't think I have heard a song from you I don't enjoy. Kudos. I'm an acoustic player also and am wondering what software you are using to record....Im stuck with a Live Cam 5000 right now and the audio video is never synced.

  • wow!!! what an awesome and calming voice!!!!!! i truely enjoy your singing and share it on my facebook page..... if you take any request would you please sing 3am by rob thomas? i know it would be great,,,,,many thanks for sharing your music!!!!

  • @badkoolaid222 No one said you had to look at him. So he actually feels emotion while he's preforming, whats wrong with that? He's a really good singer, just leave it at that. Stop acting like a faggot and telling people how to preform. Asshole.

  • dude, are you okay? it seems like you cant open your eyes! are you blind or something? im sorry if you are, that must be tough.

    if not, open your fucking eyes stop looking like a faggot. you are a really good musician but that black shirt long hair eyes closed bullshit makes me wanna punch a baby

  • @badkoolaid22 wow. fuck off, please.

  • @badkoolaid22 Wow. Fuck off, please.

    And FYI, blind people don't close their eyes, they just can't see out of them due to cataracts clouding their vision.

    And does it even really matter what he's doing in the video if his music is absolutely amazing?

  • So unbelievably happy you did a james taylor cover, especially this one <3

    excellent,excellent choice boy

  • saved to my favorites :D You remind me of Jason Mraz hahah :) take that as a complement <3 you rock

  • i'm pretty sure this song is perfect for you

  • And I have seen a really good act to follow young man! You're making me visualize everything you sing. If u can do that you are good.

  • And I have seen a really good act to follow young man!

  • fucking hell yeah!

    brillant

  • fucking hell yeah!

  • Oh, man, amazing.  Your voice and playing are beautiful.

  • ahhhhhh love it!!!! great voice and u play the guitar beautifully :)

  • This is soo good (:

  • My favorite by far(:

  • This J.T. song isn`t easy to play and sing. By now this ist the best version I`ve seen here on youtube. Absolutely well done my friend. You give this song your personal and special touch. You`re a star already!!

  • I basically loveee Brad Doggett and his amazing voice. I bought the songs I could on iTunes, but this cover is my favorite. Always puts me in the best mood. Good luck Brad, your fricken downright hot and amazing. Oh & your good at singing :)

  • finally someone who can do this song justice! props dude

  • Suggestion:  Could you film so we can see the chords and picking patterns?

    Good job, thanks.

  • wow first time i see you without your hat ...amazing ,loved the cover

    You have an AMAZING voice Brad!

  • one of the best covers of this song I've ever heard. Keep it up, you're going somewhere with your music!!

  • I wish that I could like this 50 times. This is one of my favorite songs and you sang it so very well.

  • Very,Very, nice for anyone of any age. What can't be overlooked is how close his guitar playing is to the original. James has a playing style that is extremely difficult to cover. Vocals are real easy on the ears, just a great cover across the board.

  • very good

  • OMG Love it!

  • I love the way the music gets u :D

  • i can wisper sing too!

    Good work, Brad! And good song choice!

  • I'm in love with this song, your really good kid.

  • So this has ALWAYS been one of my fav songs of all time. my dad used to sing it to me.. good times.. your voice is amazing. never stop doing what your doing.. thanks for putting a smile on my face! :D cant wait to see more from you!

    One Love

    Andee

  • I love me some James Taylor music! This is a truly wonderful cover, Brad. Really respects the original artist while putting your own spin on it. Such a beautiful song. Kudos, friend. :]

  • This is so beautiful Brad, I wish you the best of luck in everything.

  • Might want to work on learning the right notes to the song.

  • This is so wonderful!

  • I wish you'd serenade me.

  • This is an absolutely beautiful cover Brad, and I really enjoy how you add some 'Doggett' magic with the added guitar tapping

    Keep it going, you are SO talented, I know you hear it all the time but it really is true

    ~Joe

  • Simply amazing bro <3

  • Me encanta! I like so much that cover.

    I'm from Spain and I saw you and hear you since two years ago.

    I love hear your voice and how you transform all the songs. Any song is better if you sing it!

    Sorry if my english isn't good enough, I'm learning hahaha :)

    I hope that you'll become so famous someday and we can hear you in Spain!

    Good Luck Brad!

  • I just love the way you are into the music.. How you feel it, your closed eyes, your heands, your smile during the song.

  • id love to see in shorter hair... love the way ur so into the music u barely open ur eyes :D love ur voice

  • this cover is better then the original great job

  • Brad...I know at first it is going to unbalance you...but you need to open your eyes once in awhile...contact with your listeners is very important...plus you can convey alot of emotional content. Love the playing and the personal rendition. Nice job as always. Get that CD out there will you?

  • My all-time favorite song. This was back when musicians were musicians, not pretty people who can't hold a tune. Not many people can sing it as good as James but you're good kid. Keep it up!

  • I don't know how many girls have told you this.....but I love your voice....It's absolutely beautiful. It turned me into a little puddle on the floor. I think I'm in love. :] ♥

  • glad to see you back man great cover once again

  • love it!!!!!!!

  • Life Goal:

    Marry Brad Doggett,

    or at least someone who looks+sounds+acts like the original

  • dude your fricken sweeeeet. i love this!

  • I love this song. James wrote it about his sister and how she got taken away to a mental institution, and then later on he went willingly to the same one. It's the same one from the book 'Girl Interrupted'. Beautiful song, and you totally did it justice Brad.

  • love it. leave your voice ringing. u put yourself in the music instead of just singing it. this makes it even more special. keep it up(=

  • GASP, no hat?! =D.

  • i'd never heard the song before now, but i like it =). wonderful singing, my good man.

  • This is the best cover of this song I have ever heard. Possibly even better than the original.

  • I love how your head bobbles and how inspired you are to the music :)

  • i love you.

  • You sing all the song that I thought nobody cared.. I'm subscribing right now(:

  • I think I may be in love...

  • Brad, why dont you take a minute to tell us where you're at with your career? What are your goals and ambitions? Are you going after a music career? I think we all believe you can make it and for some of us we're looking forward to seeing a CD come from you.

  • @helloman1976

    he has an EP available on iTunes, if you want something until a full CD comes out =). it's self-titled =).

  • @helloman1976 I'll tell you what I know. this summer Brad got a call from "The Ellen Show" . They said they would love to have him on her show. Days later he got another call from them saying that would have to put it off .Brad got out-set because she has all these 12 year old kids and if she does have an older people that only sings Country Music .I think if you really like Brad . you should send one of his Video's to her everyday until she gives into his Fans.. Unless he does "American Idol"

  • i love james taylor!!! im soo happy you did a cover of this song its terrific!!

  • I love it -
