A Case of You

[guyac01]

Wow... lessons...! How to play the ducimer and nail this difficult song... great voice, performance and a lesson in humility to the rest of us... great reverb from the stairwell

[InToCovers]

love it! hope you won't mind if I put you on my blog?

[KYEONGTI]

I think Joni would be very happy with your version of this awesome song!

[werdlederdle]

This is amazing. So good.

[Thistrickrighthere]

<3



[sevendays67]

WoW~~nice cover,impressive~cute too!!!

[sevendays67]

Nice!! great cover~~~Thanks!!!

[kcdrew69]

redo it for your sake and ours and get out of the stairwell.

[scottiechris]

Your vocal is very well done--you've really made the song your own, I think it is great you gave it your own phrasings and nuances--what a great song it is. Joni would be proud!

[Rachelcantcooke]

This is my favorite song of all time. Well done!

[RaspberrySwirl63]

I would give a blow job to any man who sang me this song.

[jhnyn]

Very nice!

[sign543]

Very well done...one of my favorite songs of all time. You did it great.

[TheFitandfun]

What tuning are you in ?

[LIZZIEMITSON]

A beautiful version of a beautiful song

[LIZZIEMITSON]

A beautiful version of a beautiful song

[GreyOwlPhotoart]

Really well played man. Tis a beautiful song and you did it justice. I like it a lot!

♫G®€Ÿ ØWℓ♫

[chabod3]

loved this! real nice job..:-)

[Jpreciousx3]

This is one of my great songs and I've seen people trying to play it and never did it amazing like Joni but your an exception I'm really impressed

[iris3B]

I absolutely love hearing males cover Joni's songs, and you are the best of the best --thanks for posting this video and for appreciating and keeping Joni's music alive. I am one of her oldest fans, and even though I love lots of today's alternative indie music, there will never be another Joni Mitchell! She's not even from this world!

[MrSiddeney]

incredible version and as a complete (early) Joni addict I don't say that lightly! :-)

[straightx4thexclouds]

can i just have you forever and ever? you're fantastic!

[TheTerribleman]

I'm clearly a stalker… late a night sometimes, I decide I need to hear your version of A Case of You (on of Joni's greatest achievements - and there are many) - and though I lover her versions (on Blue, on Both Sides Now), and have versions by others, there is something about your simple, perfect dulcimer playing and the way your voice rises from timid to a soaring clarity in the second verse that moves me immensely. Thanks

[dvs1572]

Great cover

interesting how some just feel Joni. I've came across many in which I'm like "You've got to hear this" I'll play it and it won't move them. A few it has, but there''s a certain type of human that's drawn to her, usually obsessively.

So.... how did you get into Joni?

[writeDVD]

You choke me up with this song. I could cry . . .

[kevboston]

awesome. you so get Joni mitchell...awesome.

[HeIsLegend14]

great voice~

[MrWheelz99]

With your permission, I'd like to link this to my blog.

[ghanick]

Man, I love you so much. What sensitivity your soul must have to be able to sing and play Joni's songs as you do. You make them your own. Bless you forever. You ARE the man!

[cameronbaughn]

Incredible job man!

[Jxoox]

most excellent dude you come in second place to my ears, here is what i wrote on other A case of you vids

singers try to sing this song including Ms Mitchell but no one has grab me and sent me to heaven like CRISTINA BRANCO singing a case of you seek it out and see what i mean

enjoy

[hotwireman49]

NY, is 72 your year of birth? Mine is 58. I have loved this song for somewhere in the neighborhood of 32 years, since "Miles of Isles". You have a beautiful voice!. Thank you for playing this for us. Well done, young man! Would you share with me your dulcimer tuning? I have owned two dulcimers over the years and never could figure out the correct tuning to play this song. Drove me nuts, so I gave the dulcimer to my daughter. Looking forward to more! Thanks NYC!

[pkeith95]

Why aren't you famous? You're exceptional

[TheRobbyny]

So nice, Joni always enjoys hearing men sing her songs. Very nice job.

[Sadlullabiesdreamer]

Very talented!!!!

Congrats man! Keep it up!! =)

[Trubisha]

You remind me of one of these chinese kids who can pull off Sinatra on XFactor or something...like maybe they are beaten up backstage until they get it right but haven't quite figured out their own way just yet.

'We are our own worst enemy'! I don't know who said that but Joni really GAVE you that song, its yours, take it!

I'd love to hear you just singing this one with no guitar.

And then an Alanis song...that would do it!

[towpathsatan]

brilliant rendition of this tune - highly impressed with your playing skills...best wishes - towpathsatan

[tobestill]

This is my favorite song too by Joni, and I'm really amazed at your talent! This is technically flawless, and you sing with your heart, and with such ease and simplicity.This moved me a lot, thank you very much!

[3684541]

Holy shit, man. This was fantastic. You really sound like a pro. Great vocal control, really pure tonally. You play dulcimer. We definitely need to start a band. Really, well done.

[annalaube]

So beautiful.

[ojayn]

Awesome cover! One of the best covers of this song I've heard. Good job!

[MiamiTrueno]

Truly Amazing!! Please, continue posting more!

[buddhasting]

That was awesome man, Just plain awesome.

[BearAspirin]

What a beautiful rendition. Your love of the music shows through. So does your talent and ability. Thank you for posting this.

[cigarzan]

Wow. Just wow. That was really, really nice.

[sarahsteinle]

this is one of my favorite songs joni sings and you did a beautiful job covering it. even giving it your own spin, a lil more up tempo. nice! very cute also. gives sexy musician a whole new meaning

[alittlewhimsy]

Glorious. I'm adding this to my youtube playlist.

[brook352]

PERFECT!

What tuning are you using for your dulcimer?

[iwantyoutofeedme]

i just wanna be COMMENT NUMBER 300, so yah...

however, you're talent is remarkable, and know that i have shared it with others, but only those worthy and therefore capable of truly appreciating it...

keep posting, but i am convinced that you will find a way, your way, to make of this gift a way of life...

peace!

- iwantyoutofeedme

[Davebierman]

yo, real good josh

[boywithwheels]

Not only are you incredibly talented and true to the original you're also amazingly handsome and sing like an angel. I wish I knew you in person. I'd never get tired of listening to you sing and play.

[tonimichelle25]

this is my favorite cover of this song here! you are favorited and I listen to you often! Very nice work!

[jbrissenden123]

Good good work!

[kseniasokol]

thats amazing

[blaylockcameron]

Really wonderful, thanks

[LizLongley]

mmmmm!  beautiful!

[UnderEscher]

amazing, beautiful voice...beautiful playing.

[chrija01]

after all the other covers of this song i've seen on here, i keep coming back to this one. your other videos are just as great! keep on singing.

[3305547618]

dude, that was awsome

[amyhughesbudgie]

one of my favourite songs, and my favourite cover. by far.

[softbluejazz]

You've done an absolutely beautiful job with one of my favorite Joni Mitchell songs.

Would you consider doing Joni's "Chinese Cafe"?

[rachaelbee]

someone said this is the best cover of this particular song on youtube and i would have to agree. it's hard to do joni mitchell justice because she's simply brilliant - it's hard to add anything to her versions because they're so complete on so many levels. this cover, as simple as it is, stands squarely in its own right - far more for me, in your little stair well, with no amplification than diana krall's or any other big name version. nice one. :)

[IND1GO]

awesome

100/10!

[Comfortinthedarkseat]

My absolute favorite song, not many people do it justice when making it their own. But this...This is sensational, it literally brought me to tears.Thank you for sharing!

[twohandband]

Songs are like kids. Someone "creates" them and sets them into the world. They grow and develope and they are no longer yours. Joni set this one into the world, but now it's yours. You do it and her proud. *****

[mzzynoa]

Lovely...this is a great cover

[cappyroo]

Beautiful, haunting - you have captured the very essence of this song. Plus your dulcimer playing is perfect.

[lisapeggy]

you are so great, i have listen to this version for so many times now! wow!

[kunkri]

... again and again i have to cry when i hear that song from you! i love your melancholic voice and the accoustic of that place you´re sitting! ...

[p0nette]

i still love this just as much as the first time i saw it...

you're wonderful! thanks!!

[julieh28]

You are beautiful, any guy that can play Joni like that should be revered, your authentic yet very personal rendition of this wonderful song is amazing, and your voice is gorgeous ! We love you, from Wandiligong, Vic Australia.

[jdjustice72]

still the best version on YouTube IMO

[sarahsteinle]

this is one of my favorite songs and I love the way you've made it your own. nicely done:)

[ellykellner]

You've sung and played this soo beautifully.

Wonderful to find this here!

[earthgoddess76]

very beautiful! I learned about this instrument just today...this being my absolute fav song from Joni mitchell I am simply amazed....very nice

[coldmayy]

I love your covers by Joni. Very nice, congratulations from Brazil! :)

[amybrooke816]

This is simply amazing and beautiful...I'm in awe...

[brenia20]

Oh this is one of my favorite songs. Your dulcimer version did it justice.

[ulacicha]

I love this song, I think also that none but joni can give all that can be got from this song, but You feel this song and made it very good, You have interesting voice, personality I think also that You can show people many good things, but I't would be better that it was Your songs (hehe sory for me English :D:D:D ). And I hope that I will hear Your song

[pbird83]

josh, you are sexy.  too bad your my cousin.

-Phil

[AngeliqueBenjamins]

..... wouw.... love at first sight

[carusonian]

The acoustics in bathrooms and stairwells are great, aren't they? You have such an amazing voice and I think this a beautiful piece. You did such a wonderful job. Keep up the great work. I hope to hear more from you soon. When you put out an album, let me know.

[DeCatfish]

WoW very very special... thank you! ;)

[SUSANBIGFORD]

Josh, I love you. Greetings from Trinidad.

[Maininki]

Dude you are the man! Well done

[cleanheadcole]

Beautiful - well done. Joni is my favourite artist and you do the song justice. Keep posting - Thank you.

[thisisalaine]

Love your version, it inspired me to do one of my own, let me know what you think.

[spiritnocturnal]

wow! your fab!

[Kl0nakilty]

Very nice indeed, this is a special song and you have covered it well.

Well Done

[anjofrizz]

wow, thats inspirational, im learning to play it myself on the dulcimer-you play it so beautifuly, thanks for putting it on you tube.

[gnukev]

This is a beautiful rendition of one of Joni's most moving compositions.

[psychedelicinvasion]

Covering a Joni Mitchell song is dangerous territory for anyone to venture into, but you absolutely capture the emotion of the song and you have a beautiful voice. And props for taking it a step further and playing the dulcimer! Great job.

[avalvira]

You do Joni proud! Awesome!

[danielhassixstrings]

this is absolutely great.

[mugui]

Great! But, what's with the blue cross? I saw your sign on the window vid some time ago, it's also great, I did not comment, I should have. Your covers are great quality, and that's very admirable.

Un beso, K.

[okham72]

You version is beautiful, guy! Thank you!

[Itsnotatuba]

my favorite song, and the best cover I have seen. You have a beautiful voice and real capture the emotion of the song. I wish I could adapt this to guitar.

[wvlavender]

love your voice and style.

[rachaelbee]

really sweet :) and that's from a huuuuge joni fan. i didn't like diana krall's version but this is lovely.

[treeoftears]

This is one of the first videos I ever found on Youtube and still sticks in my mind as one of my most favourite.

[hummingdust]

this is so, so very beautifully done. the staircase's acoustics are great :D

[lafluvnlivlong]

this is my favorite and I think the best cover video. I hope you are still playing and singing. Just a great version and with your own signature to it. you have paid the highest compliment to Joni's song. Good luck to you and God bless you!!

[mpvt]

so long ago and still grand! xxx

[Z1seX2wzxedZ]

せっかく美声なんで、もっと鮮明な音で聴きたい。

[tangeskivvies]

really great. beautiful voice!

[rscmrcmd]

very beautiful

[thairnbakagain]

An awesome cover of one of my favourite songs . . . I love your adaptation.

Sweet job, dude.

[kristinsradical]

I just watched several of your videos. You're a really amazing musician- I'm hoping to get there someday :)

P.S.- you have a beautiful voice. not many guys could cover joni mitchell with such precision.

[realisingthedream]

Subtle, clever - just beautiful. You have absorbed the song's essence and reinvented it authentically through yourself. Please keep going.

[GotPizazz]

I've been watching covers of this all night, and you are The only male singer to pull it off in any way shape or form. You have a beautiful voice with even tone and I love your playing! Well done.

[tmorgan44]

So genuine....I thought this was incredible. One of my favorite songs ever. You did it justice.

[ForgetxHerxName]

Absolutely gorgeous rendition.

[honda825]

omg where'd you find a dulcimer?

[OfficerJohnMcLane]

That was amazing. Seriously, I actually prefer it to Joni Mitchells

[chocoholic3333]

u <3 ur voice

[=

[marycigarettes]

so good sir

[p0nette]

[dgivy]

this is wonderful...love the dulcimer

[ltripley]

this was amazing.

[DAVIDSILVERCA]

Buddy, you deserve allthe accolades. That is the best rendition of "A Case of You" I have ever heard, besides JM's two masterpieces. Beautifully sung, heartful, really excellent, and glad to hear a man sing it.

[jeremyblank69]

Everytime I play this on the guitar, I always wish I could play it like you do (and I wish I had a dulcimer). Excellent job, man.

[orixad]

truly, lovely

[philxbx]

The only thing bad about this is that you are not on a stage playing to millions with this!! Truely beautiful version of beautiful song. Thank you.

[LollySNgirl]

Dude :O thats amazing!!!

you rock.

[chobandit]

i love this. you are amazing.

[kaibzolis]

very good interpretation! dude you got it!

[emersonwells]

Great song, great version! There are hundreds of comments to look through so I wasn't sure if it had been asked but what tuning do you have your dulcimer in? It's sounds pretty much spot on!

[awesomeness73]

I started bawling, dude. You really do look "Blue". Nice job, man!

[DerrickAcker]

I welled up when I heard this. You are amazing.

[karolyana]

wow... AMAZING...

[sswwerchen]

You are brilliant :)

[bluesky621]

Im impressed, not a single negative aspect.Keep it up!

[redqueen17]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[jm82986]

this is like the greatest cover EVER! you are awesome!

[champlain9]

A Case of You is one of my favorites. Joni Mitchell is an icon. Thank you for a truly wonderful rendition of this song.

[kyssed1]

i come back again and again to hear this song from you. I fell in love with diane krall's version in paris- and the original was introduced to me via "practical magic". Thank you for keeping this version on youtube. I get to see a cute boy sing and wish I could have a front row and center with popcorn in the stairwell for your concert. be well and thank you for your shared gift. If you ever do decide on the stairwell concert- you have adoring fans- we would be there. cheers. u r lerved.

[peacetonight7]

wow youre good, what a great song too!

[rockin442]

Awesome job! I've covered this song at open mic nights, I always play it on dulcimer too because that's how it was meant to sound. Wish my dulcimer was as nice as yours, hehe...

[jenjenmcfer]

I never heard this song until I was asked to learn it for my set last week. I love the song, and I think you did a really good job. You have a beautiful voice, and there were indications in there that you could make the song bigger by getting the higher notes. I'd love to hear you singing it slipping OCCASIONALLY into a falsetto voice?

[josirox]

not only is the voice here amazing... but how ELSE could describe your love for someone much than this song... i feel what this song says, still.... always will.

[Cathy197100]

You have a an amazingly beautiful voice. A friend from Denmark sent your song to me. Thx! Cat (Quebec, Canada)

[CLOVEBALL]

THATS A VOICE!

[perfectonick]

Great job! It is my favourite cover:)

I wish to have it in my mp3 palyer.

I'm listening you from Poland.

Sing more song PLS. :)

[MandiMandolina]

I like it. Like others said, it's not every day I hear a guy do a Joni Mitchell song, and it's almost never that I hear a guy do a Joni Mitchell song well. Nice!

[Bibibiatch]

This is my all time favorite song and your cover is simply brilliant... Thank you such much...

[hueseph]

Great job. I was just thinking to cover this one but you did such a great job I would hate to have to be compared. You do the song justice. Pretty tough for a guy to do. Great voice. I guess I'll stick to metal. LOL.

[littlezippy]

Kudos, my friend! You rendered me speechless...

I was just lamenting over the absence of a cover played as Joni played it, rather than with a guitar, as is so often the case. Your rendition is absolutely SUPERB...by the far the best I've seen.

Thanks for the inspiration!! I'll be watching you from Vancouver, BC. :)

[Tizius]

Hi! It's the only cover that I appriciate!

Great!

THX

Italy

[BUweB]

brilliant rendition: Greetz fom Berlin.Uwe

[chobandit]

this is just beautiful =)

[ishumai]

You are a super excellent singer and this spellbinding performance is one of your best!

[mrneil2]

Wonderful. What type of dulcimer are you playing?

[deadhead1065]

i saw this a year ago and i just remember it so im here to give u 5

beautiful cover

[sophiass88]

this is my favorite song of all time. and i'm pleased to say you did it justice, good to see someone doin git so well. nice job x

[drummerofdeath21]

What an awesome cover. An awesome song, and a mind-blowing cover. Why are there no singers like you out there???

[ishumai]

Dude, you are absolutely awesome! This so right on the mark - your voice, the dulcimer, the feeling. Keep making your great music. Thanks

[nikkis0]

So gorgeous!!

I love this song!

what exactly are you playing??

Again..just lovely!!!

xoxoxoxoxo

5-stars!

[maximeorigas]

Your voice is so beautiful !!!

And with this dulcimer...everything's perfect!!!

Keep on!!!

Max

[1bindar]

Man thanks. You inspired me to get a dulcimer. I just love to hear you play all your music and this song would be nice if the great Joni Mitchelle would let you do a duet with her. I think it would be awesome. You move people with your music.

[ronboy51]

Hi,

You play this very well!! I've just acquired a dulcimer and would love to learn this one. Do you know anywhere where I might get the tuning and tab?

While I'm at it, please check out my video, "The Babes In The Wood", about two murdered 9 year old girls, which I performed and co-wrote.

Best wishes,

Ron Gletherow (ronboy51)

[Scribbly1]

I adore this song and this is incredible.

[oldetavern]

Absolutely loved this!

[sirswedishmike]

very well done, you should try covering, "night ride home" by joni, I think you might do a great job with that as well.

Keep the felling in your music alive!

[eurogirl21]

Kay, not only am I ridiculously jealous right now that you can play this, I think you did it amazing. I love Joni and I think its awesome that you've covered her. Thank you :)

[CefazolinInLRS]

Keep up the great work, Nycity72, you have an absolutely enviable voice.

[SheWorkx]

damn! Very very nice

I am impressed! Gonna search for more movies of you!

[stephaniepressman]

nice job!

[PMN]

I don't really know what to say. I'm a huge Joni Mitchell fan and I usually cringe when I hear people covering her songs, but that was a beautfully expressive and personal version of one of my favourite tracks. Thankyou for posting, you truely have a wonderful talent and I wish you all the best with your music.

[MadaboutBrewno]

Thats incredible.

[windster]

Love it. But, did you get the opening line right?? "Just before our love got lost you said" ? Not a criticism...good stuff.

[brookbanks]

Alot of covers on this site can't come close to finding the phrasing you've shown in this version. Not identical to the original and still an excellent pace to this cover.

Loved it. Hope you put more work up

[skimpy651]

Wow! this is the best cover so far. I love your voice. Keep it up!

[ralphdhiggins]

great stuff!!
