  • Out of the 163, 397 views on this video... I'm responsible for 163,000 of em... I listened to your interpretation of this song everyday.. in rememberance of my father, uncle, and fallen comrades in both Iraq and Afghanistan... Thank you for this.. it strengthens the weak, inspires the strong, and and touches the soul... Please never stop..

  • Dude your so good, how are you not signed!!??

  • @treycloud373 James signed with Warner Brother records on 2/15/2011. He also recently released his first album, which he paid for himself, called "It's All Happening".

  • i miss my granny....u just made me cry thanks lol your good

  • You need to be signed.

  • I am a musician myself and I really like your interpretation of the songs you sing. Even though some of them are from world's greatest singers, I feel you are singing them different, better for my liking...Just keep on singing man, don't ever stop...:)

  • You are amazing.Keep the faith, God has plans for you!!!!

  • thanks for a grate cover, this song was played when my cuzin was put to rest.

  • Once adain, reat job. You gott do Vince's new song, "Threaten Me With Heaven". You are the only one I know that can do it justice. It is a beautiful and powerful song also.

  • Honestly I didn't expect this video to be anywhere near as good as Vince Gill's version. I found the opposite. Keep playing. It'll take you places.

  • oh i got chills

  • James, takes some big brass ones to take on one of the best voices in Nashville but I gotta say you nailed it. I was worried about that high note, but you didn't disappoint. Tell your label to get busy and put something on the radio or we're gonna STORM THE GATES!!!

  • oh my god! ur amazing.

    this song was played at my mothers funeral on the fifth of august 2011.

  • JD, you are not to be compared to anyone. You are who you are, a great talent. What a fantastic voice., Great style and you' re pretty. Don' t take that as a slur. I even asked my wife to watch you. Her opinion? Star, could be. I spent 45 years in the business. I' m going to watch one more vid of your' s. Keith"s . I' ll get back to you. Stay tuned.

  • Men you got a great voice I my self want to be a singer and let me tell you youv'e got what it takes good luck

  • Absolutely beautiful, this did bring tears to my eyes thank you for a great song.

  • OMG...I just came across your songs and I'm at a loss of words....I'm from Germany and totally love Country Music.....Your voice is amazing and me and my Mom just listened to almost all fo your songs.....we also have a country music magazine here in Germany and I wouldn't be surprised to read about you in there soon...I'll keep my fingers crossed that some record label will put you where you belong...out on one of those big stages....Good Luck and God Bless...Julia - Munich, Germany

  • I compare you with the great Johnny Rivers. Not by your voice or style, but your ability to cover any artist from Johnny Cash to Willie Nelson to Vince Gill to Simon & Garfinkle to The Beatles, you name it and you cover it as well as the original artist and in many cases, better. I listened to all your stuff on You Tube and my friend you have got it. Remember above all, that you are a role model, no, an idol to your children who helped you cover the Eagles' Take It Easy. God has blessed!

  • awsome!!!!

  • Beautiful and still AWESOME*****

  • I am literally crying right now! so fricken good!

  • I love the way you sing. i never thought i'd be able to sing this song, but you drop the octave low enough for me to hit his high notes and i think it is amazing and i thank you.

  • Your voice Is amazing I listened to this song and started to cry it's the same song this guy sung at my grandmas funeral and he wasn't even close to as good as u

  • Great Voice!!! If I had to say, I'd call it a cross between Keith Whitley, Josh Turner, and Randy Travis... I know those are 3 very different artists but 3 Great artists nonetheless.... Great job. Country is in your future.

  • Great job James!! I love your voice!

    And to tunni56... GOD will judge us all someday. You'd better ask for his forgiveness for what you say and think. If not, you will feel the full wrath of the almighty!!

    So folks, but I couldn't sit here and not say anything after reading tunni56's comment.

  • you have a great voice, strong and clear. Awesome job done on singing this awesome song well done.

    Ariell1123

  • angel in desguise

  • awesome

  • EXCELLENT VOICE!

  • OMG!! I have chills everywhere. You are so awesome and I love the way you did this song.

  • My brother died in 1996 and we played this song at his funeral. It still makes me cry to date!! Hearing you sing it is just amazing!!!

  • Wow Tunni56, you've got a lot of years to live yet, and you're going to have a wicked miserable life. You exemplify Dostoyevsky's dictum that "If there is no God, everything is permitted." Look at how you treat people, and your nasty doltish talk. You have nothing to learn from others, you know it all. You will be miserable and unhappy and spewing venom the rest of your life. No one will love you. No one can love you.

  • Ignorance is bliss for the idiots in the world

  • @Jezewl ....LOL ....Then you must sleep in DEEP bliss every night.

  • i wasn't sure at first but now im glad that i stayed to listen. Buddy you have a beautiful voice and you should definately use the talent God gave you.

  • great song. love your version better.

  • As a musician, and music lover constantly scanning through songs, your voice stopped me dead in my tracks and I wanted to hear more and more from you. Your voice is seriously amazing. I only want to be helpful by saying this but the guitar playing is somewhat weak, sloppy and really distracts from that golden voice. Get someone to accompany you and repost those songs. Trust me, take it up a notch and you will get major attention.

  • You are an amazing guy! You need to seriously get an agent!

  • Man your voice gives me chills.

  • JD, man I'm a big fan of yours, excellent song choice. Congrats on the album, I'll purchase it on sight.

  • omg this is my favorite song! you did really good. ur amazing :)

  • James, I am very excited that you got the chance to make an album. I have been a follower of your music since I can remember.You have what it takes to make it. Keep your head up and you will go far

  • WOW! WOW! WOW!! You have a great voice!! I love the song first of all..and you were right on key and your voice is AMAZING!!! Just amazed me!! Great work!!! =) Very good!!!

  • wow...wow...wow im speechless i dont no what to say that was beautiful !!!!!! great job james!!!!!

  • You have a great voice, strong and clear ,right on key, you do the song justice, iv got that Vince gill type voice too,I've played lead guitar for bout 45 years, my voice is not quite as strong, great job

  • I swear, this brought tears to my eyes. You are simply amazing, i dont know how else to put it.

  • That was an amazing rendition thanks mate

  • This is , I believe, your best offering on you tube, because you put more meaning into each word. Your voice and talent are all the way there, but you often sing without putting full passion and meaning into a songs lyrics. The kind of feeling that brought that song to being, that actually created it!.

  • The LORD gave u a gift kid use it...u gave me goosebumps..i`m sold..

  • this is a song that i should have played at my husbands funeral, i miss him so much, i love this mans voice !!!
