This is one of my favorite songs of all time and I bet I have listened to your version 100 times since I came across it. Simply amazing, different than the original version but equally amazing.
You do a great job on this Simon & Garfunkel tune. I would love to hear you do another one of their tunes"Bookends" I know you'd do a great job with it also. Keep up the great work!!!
This is the most beautiful cover I've heard of "America"...wow. I wasn't expecting this and was in fact looking for something else, but I'm so glad I had the chance to hear it!
James...I like the fact that you are interested in artist from the 60's- now. Please continue to pursue your dream of being a major talent, you will be famous! I have an ear for music, and you will reach the top if you are persistent!
I'm going to tell you man, I really didn't think this would be that great because I hate covers. However....WOW! You did it well. I'm a fan, man. Wonderful voice, good artistry. Keep up the good work and I have faith in you.
omg!!! this is probably one of the best covers of a song i have ever heard, you have a really really good voice and the guitar was right on the whole time!! awesome vid 5 stars
I have a request... Boston by Augustana. It's one of my favorite songs and it's actually kinda creepy. The chorus is me completely, like word for word. But I think you'd sing it really really well. I'll keep an eye out for it if you decide to do it.
Holy Christ.... You have a beautiful--I mean truly beautiful-- voice. And the way you sing this song, which happens to be a favorite of mine, made me want to cry. In a good way. Thank you.
Moved to tears. Keep it up. You are good and you can be better. Voice lessons will help put you where you want to be. Don't stop. Put some more songs up here like America.
you need head down to kularks woodshead in la. on mondays open mic night paul kulark would love to have you as u do a great job n u are going places with that voice
ok, this is one of my favourite songs EVER and i never thought anyone but the original S&G themselves could do it justice..until now. you have real talent and should be looking for an agent - seriously. music is in your soul. rock on, babe, rock on!
Awesome!!! This is your 3rd video that I´ve watched and this is all I need to decide that I´m going to subscribe to your videos RIGHT NOW! You are very talented and I just love your videos :)
Alright, Ive listen to a couple of your covers now and I've come to the conclusion that your pretty damn good. If your taking requests I'd say you should learn a couple more George Strait songs and also some Gary Allan. If you're not familiar with Gary Allan's music it is definitely worth checking out. Keep up the good work.
James Dupre... Remember that name

This song and "Kathy's Song" are two of my favourite Simon & Garfunkel songs. You do such a wonderful cover of "America."
Do you also perform Paul Simon's song called, "Kathy's Song?" (hint, hint) :-))
Have you ever played anywhere in the Los Angeles area?

I believe I picked up bits and pieces of James Taylor on this one ... which, if I'm correct, is one heck of a fine influence!
GREAT cover.
