Everyone on here who is comparing James Taylor and Zach Brown clearly does not understand the country music culture. JT is up there because of the respect Zach has for him.
@sherristube1 - What a idiotic comment. You're as stupid as bloody hell, James Taylor has been singing since 1966, Zac Brown since 2000. Who's going to be better? Moron.
@BovineK9s Your very welcome for the comment. I couldnt help but comment because what people were saying about James Taylor was really getting me frustrated. I enjoy James Taylor just as much and I got into him through my parents. Zac Brown is very good. He has a perfect voice. I didnt notice the similarity at first either but the more I listen the more similar it gets. And when James started singing that verse, Zac was filled with joy! And the fans loved that he was there by there reaction.
@midnightforever1 Type James Taylor in the search bar and come back to watch this video after. He may be old but he is perfect to sing this song with zac brown!
Every awards show has it's moment. This was this award shows moment! amazing idea to have James sing with Zac, an homage to greatness and acknowlegement of Zac's legendary status. Runner up moments - sugarland, ronnie dunn and the band perry for writing amazing songs and being great performers. Long live rock and roll.
james didnt ruin it, he has his own style and this melancoly song is right down james' country road, but he put his own style on it, and if you listen closely you'll even hear james' signature d chord pull off hammer on throughout the entire song,
Anyone who can find fault with James had better be a fine singer their-self , I don't mean just good either, they had better be legendary good. As for me, it gave me chills when they transitioned into sweet baby Jane. Awesome is the word I choose to describe this performance.
To call someone ignorant for having a different opinion than you is ignorant. The fact of that matter is with all due respect to James Taylor, who is a legend, he did somewhat ruin the song. I know I speak for a lot of people when I say I enjoy hearing a song sung the way it was recorded on the album, and Taylor's verse was, well to be honest, a horrible depiction of how Zac sings it. So big ups to those who are honest enough to say that Taylor ruined it.
To hear anyone say the James Taylor ruined this song is just ignorant. I agree with BovineK9s. James Taylor is one of the greatest artists of our generation. James Taylor has influenced many great artists like Zac Brown and also another great artists Garth Brooks. I also agree that the presence of James's influence is very heard in his music.
@Tjwh93 Thanks for your comments - I had to use a great deal of self restraint to keep from calling the person who said JT ruined the song a moron! I've been a fan of James Taylor since his first album came out (yep, I'm old). The minute I heard Zac Brown's first CD I was a fan - I love his voice. Didn't realize how similar their voices are until I heard them singing together. The look on Zac's face when James started singing was priceless - and the audience seemed to be pretty star-struck!!
In response to the person who said James Taylor ruined the performance - if you can't hear James Taylor's influence in Zac Brown's music, you either aren't listening or you know nothing about music history. Judging from Zac's reaction, as well as that of the audience of coutry music stars, they understand the artistry and importance of James Taylor's contribution to contemparary music.
Judging taylor on this isn't even fair. Zac obviously has very deeply rooted emotions with this song. 3:15 he goes to sing with him and just smiles and stops because he knows he'd just be in the way on a song like this.
Amos Lee did this with ZBB and rocked it on some Country Music show a few months back! Don't know Amos Lee? Look up Amos Lee Southern Girl...great voice!
This song is absolutely amazing, and I disagree about James Taylor. . .Although he could've done better, he definitely added to the totally, insanely, awesomeness of this performance. . .The transition into Sweet Baby Jane at the end was completely appropriate! These guys turned me into a country fan and this performance was pure GOLD! Thank you for uploading it! My girlfriend fell asleep during this while it was on T.V., and thank God, because this song makes me cry haha! Rock on Zac Brown!
@courtvega He didn't even know the words... to a great song.. james taylor is a legend,but he totally screwed this song on his end.. zach brown was great
Incredible to see two favorites of mine on stage together!
