  • Soul or not, Dallas Green is so damn sexy and has such an amazing vocal range, which is why I didn't come here to judge who did it better. If you like the original or another cover better, go there. Geez the things I would do to him. Haha okay, point is if you like Dallas stay here, if not just gtfo.

  • dallas has a great voice but i don't think it fits this song as well, just doesn't have that blues edge to it

  • @Groundbase Perhaps he hasn't had alot of experiences with people grinnin in his face. That's why Son sang it so well. You could tell he had alot of experience with that topic.

  • this was on my birthday :D

  • I love this version! Dallas has an unbelievably beautiful voice for this. Im just dissappointed about the crowd not knowing the roots of this song and not clapping the beat for him

  • I came at 0:41.

  • Great Vocals. Though I get more soul from Son House or Jack White.

  • is anybody else loling at the fact he has no clue what to do with his hands with out a guitar in it? ahaha mad respect for this man thoughhh

  • no way in hell people have negative things to say about dallas green's voice...i refuse to believe it

  • bella versione! nice version!

  • Hot damn.

  • oilers suck

  • 0:42 oh my god.

  • shit if you drink enough Pabst Blue Ribbons you'll get some soul into your soul.

  • great voice but no soul :(

  • hahah he is so amazing!!!why is he so talented!!!!!i feel sad and happy at the same time,happy because his music is perfect,sad because no human being can sing like him.

  • Wel... H... J... nope, there are no words, unreal

  • Guy doesn't get the meaning of the song. Next.

  • @ManInDarkAlley How does he not? Idiot. Just because it isn't the original doesn't mean it isn't damn good.

  • @PlanetF1dotcom Needs more anger in it. Son House came up with it after a lifetime of experience with people stabbing him in the back and when you hear this guy singing it, it makes you feel like it's a technically well rehearsed perfomance, but he hasn't been there. It's a good thing to be a fan of good music but if you're going to sing the blues, you'll have to feel it too. Guy's got a good voice. Just sung it too "pretty".

  • @ManInDarkAlley hey brother read up on dallas green's life, he seen the blues my friend. the blues is how you share your story and how you dealt with the goods and bads of life everybodys got the blues some mo' better than others.

  • haters always gotta hate!

    GO DALLAS!

  • He is so awkward without his guitar to keep him consoled. Still has the voice of an angel, the lyrics of Shakespeare, and tattoos that keep me in awe though.

  • @ace71730

    Hope you know this isn't his song, if your referencing the lyrics.

  • the 10 people who disliked this have downs

  • What CAN'T Dallas Green sing??

    I could listen to him sing the phone book.

  • I never get tired of this song, how could I ever? Dallas Green is a fucking genius. I don't give a fuck what you think .

  • I thought this cover was gonna tank at the beginning, but wow this Dallas pulled it off. I love this guy's voice so much.

  • I really honestly hate all of City and Colour's music, but I can really appreciate him covering this song. He did a nice job.

  • I bet if Son House was still alive today, he would be honoured that someone would replicate his song in their own way, especially someone as talented as Dallas Green. Musicians are just that way. One love, people...

  • great job man...singing is especially hard without any instruments to match vocals with.

  • Dallas is a blues singer. Always was. Him singing this song feels right.

  • everyone complaining about how he shouldn't sing this.. shut the fuck up, this is great music and if you really are a music fan then you should appreciate his talents, every song has a meaning to the writer, so what if Son went through a lot, your insisting he shouldn't sing this cause he didnt go through exactly what Son did. in that case no person should cover anything ever? no one has went through the exact same things. but dallas green has seen hard times if you researched.

  • Son House was better. This kid has no idea what real pain is. Son House knew what pain was. What this child is singing isn't the blues. He's probably had everything handed to him his whole life. Upper middle class parents, big house, three cars, you know the deal. All you hipsters seem to flock to this crap.

  • @spicyMcHAGGIS9green I think all you need to realise is that he's singing a really good song. Dallas isn't claiming to have hardship. He is doing his job and doing it really well. In turn younger people are hearing old songs and may check out Son House. Stop crying. Sharing music is a great thing.

  • @livefortheweekend99 I'm not crying. I'm just saying he shouldn't sing it out of respect.

  • Proof that music sometimes doesn't need an instrumental accompaniment , or a back-up band. Just one man, with a voice of pure f'n gold.

  • @Johnericksonhvezda

    "or the white stripes cover"???? hahahahahahhahahahhahahahahaha­hhahahahahhahahahahahahha are you kidding me?

  • @BabyDee454 no....

    For God's you hipsters are the equivalent to juggalos!

  • @BabyDee454, he's not right about this cover, this cover is beautiful but the white stripes are awesome, don't insult them.

  • @BabyDee454 White stripes cover is better than this cover.... Dallas sounds terrible for this...

  • @Johnericksonhvezda white stripes cover sounds like a grandmother having an orgasm. For serious. It's terrible. Jack White's fuckin retarded. If you think theres any ''soul'' in White's voice, go out yourself. GTFO Troll.

  • @sukatrid2plymi You obviously know nothing about blues. Seasick Steve said The White Stripes have done more for blues than anybody in the past 40 years. I'll take his word over anything you could ever say.

  • @danfrost313 You're a faggot.

  • @sukatrid2plymi You just let everybody know that I have "Won" this argument. You fucking invalid.

  • @danfrost313 lmfao Uh....No. I'm done talking to some random ass troll that thinks he's the shit. This is a Dallas Green Video. Like it or Gtfo. Seriously. Oh, and your comment about Seaside Steve? Fuck Seaside Steve. You're just another swine led over the cliffs sir.

  • @sukatrid2plymi Seasick steve*

  • @JGill93 Cool Story Bro.

  • @Johnericksonhvezda

    You do realize what you said makes you the exact type of person the song is talking about.

    .....oh, the irony.

  • @Johnericksonhvezda you lost all credibility when you said white stripes.

  • @vunley You lost all credibility acting like your the "CREDIBILITY" dealer. Bitch.

  • @Johnericksonhvezda Ill say this on the behalf of everyone else who has read this stupid mindless toss. Shut the fuck up.

  • @Slipknotfish True that bro!

  • @Johnericksonhvezda oh dear, just fucking oh dear get the FUCK out

  • @Johnericksonhvezda What makes this song so incredible is its universality. That regardless of who you are or where you come from we all feel "those feelings". I straight up call bullshit on you and your diatribe. White Stripes are my all-time fav band and have serious love for Son House. He, they, would have been proud to have seen that sung by Dallas Green. No passion? That's bat-shit crazy. "It can never be the original". Do you have any idea of where that song came from? Pretty sure, not.

  • @Johnericksonhvezda your post is proof that soul is in the eye of the beholder. i think this version is amazing. sends chills up my spine. i also really like the son house version. but as i say, soul is in the eye of the beholder.

  • i love son house and this is amazing

  • ha chaz sent me here

  • oilers!

  • thumbs up if chaz sent you here!

  • Chaz sent me here :)

  • Chaz just tweeted this!

  • man this is fucking amazing, i haven't heard the other one but this is still awesome

  • He doesn't know what to do with his arms without a guitar. haha, cute.

  • all it needs is son house's off tempo claps to be amazing.

  • You can hear the beautiful echo in Dallas Green's amazing voice :)

  • i hope he records this cover and puts it on new album

  • Son House cover, pretty good considering Dallas' tone totally isnt blues at all, good effort i do say

  • show off haha

  • The goose bumps from this video never get old.

  • Its funny that a lot of people are calling this shit, when its hard to even get close to singing this as clearly as Dallas did. Sun house is a pimp, don't get me wrong, but you need people like Dallas bringing back the old stuff for a new generation to start appreciating when our music came from. Or maybe im wrong and we need to listen to auto tuned bullshit constantly?

  • @fartingwhileitype You obviously don't understand what people are so angry about. Dallas Green has had everything since birth. Son House was a poor man from Mississippi. He also spent 10 years in prison for killing someone in self defense. Have you ever heard of the Parchman Farm Penitentiary? Spending one year there is like a lifetime. Dallas Green should not sing this out of respect for Son. He's never seen hard times.

  • @spicyMcHAGGIS9green who gives a shit man? i never destroyed my boyfriends car, but i do a cover of before he cheats by carrie underwood. son house is dead, he doesnt give a fuck who sings his songs. get over yourself asshole.

  • @spicyMcHAGGIS9green You obviously do not understand anything about music. Do you play a musical instrument? do you understand the feeling of playing instrument? No, Dallas Green hasn't suffered like most musicians, he has no story about being beat by his parents but he is a damn good musician. Son House would be proud of this because you could tell that he does show emotion in his music.

  • @gwest501 I play bass, guitar, and drums. I know what I'm talking about.

  • i dont get the complaining here.....1) its a cover 2) it is HIS cover 3) he sings better on his cover than anyone assessing it 4) of course its going to be different your talking about a soul black man sung song done by a white rocker.....duh, its going to be different, but the pipes on this guy is nothing but astounding

  • @paulcyr22 ... my sentiments exactly. And for all the people who don't like "hipsters" why the F are you searching "dallas green"?

  • @BabyDee454 well thanks there babydee......ive seen dallas 7 times, and i never get tired of the goosebumps.......and as i was about to assume a comment i recieved was from some teenage doucher, i got a positive one from a pretty lady haha......

    Paul from the east coast!

  • @BabyDee454 haha did you get me message, toootaly didnt reply back! cant believe a fellow canadian wouldnt write me back!

  • @BabyDee454 What's a hipster?

  • Comment removed

  • @paulcyr22 he's more of a folk singer in my opinion

  • Dallas Green is alright, but this cover was pretty bad. No soul at all.

    The guy who said "no hipster will ever compare to son house" is completely right.

  • @Stabat13 you are a fucking moron you know, and whoever the other you agree with.

  • Absolute silence in the audience.

  • i think its kinda weird that he's covering son house but i love how he's got complete command of the audience when he's singing like this. his voice is really mesmerizing. It's cool that he's paying homage to son house though!

  • I always loved City and Colour, but now I LOVE HIM EVEN MORE :)

  • love son house

    love city and colour

  • my homosexual lover <3

  • I like the original.. but that one... the claping is missing and in my opinion his voice does not suit to a song like that...

  • @Johnericksonhvezda You obviously have no ear for REAL music, that's ok, go back to listening to Jonas Brothers and get off the Dallas Green vids.

  • @Recovrd1 I am a bit bummed that I got to this comment so late. Anyway, I feel I have an obligation to say, "Fuck You" on behalf of the Jonas Brothers. Their music is just as "REAL" as this!

  • @Johnericksonhvezda Be bummed all you want you little fairy-boy. There is something strangely ironic over the fact that you are telling me "FUCK YOU" on behalf of the Jonas Brothers. But.. I won't go into that b/c I fear it might go over your head, Your taste in music is beyond poor if you are putting those tween idols in the same category as Dallas Green. You fail at life, end of discussion.

  • @Recovrd1 um... you fail at life, there awesome. Just like the twilight series! You are just jealous!

  • @Johnericksonhvezda Wow... "You fail at life" clever retort given the fact that I just said the same to you. Next will be a "Your Mom" joke I surmise. I understand fully the intelligence level you are operating at considering you can't differentiate "There Awesome" (Wrong) and "They're Awesome" (Correct)

    You're just ignorant and I refuse to battle wits with an unarmed, little Jonas brothers fan-boy such as yourself.

  • @Johnericksonhvezda ... i think everyone knows by now it is u sir/ma'am that fails...... and how could sum 1 be jelouse of the way ppl like the jonus brothers?? they are a virus... that needs to be cured..

  • @Recovrd1 well said my friend!

  • I believe the popular comment would be.... "fail"?

  • I was there, thought it was really cool that he did this.

  • He does look awkward without his guitar. I bet he felt it too. Damn good, though. Always is.

  • fuck you

  • i want to marry this man

  • your an idiot.

  • FUCK YOU FOOOL

  • No thanks, but after receiving your reply I watched it again and compared to the original version by Son House I stand by my comment.

  • this is apparently jack white's fave song, wonder what he'd think of dallas' rendition?

  • no hipster will ever compare to son house.

  • damn he's good

  • jizz.

  • this was soooooo amazing live in chicago. perfect way to end a set.

  • What an amazing job. I would have loved to hear the clapping, but damn, there was a lot of soul in that cover.

    Son House would be proud.

  • just dont mind people grinnin in your face...

  • Wow... when he hits that high note... JESUSSSS

  • @amac8487 it's just falsetto.

    But regardless, I think Son House would be happy to see someone put so much soul into his music.

  • He so amazing & he sounds like heaven live. It beyond talent to be able to do this without any guitar or drum or anything. LOVE his voice.

  • im so excited about his music hes going to be around for a long time ........so so good

  • i can not understand how anyone could open his mouth when he sings

  • oh, and who ever the "BOBBY D" guy was... that was freakin' hilarious.

  • BOBBBY D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • Im pretty sure a bunch of people almost died after this, xD thats how amazing it was!

  • wow that was amazing :)

  • I saw him on my birthday!! what a great birthday present! Dallas rocks!!!

  • LOL 'bluetooth'..

    Ah this show was amazing.

  • AMAZING!!! wish I was there... check my city and colour covers you will see how obsessed I am!! lol

  • too bad hes already married and you don;t even know him

  • Lol yea and then this other guy was like "I'M DRUNK" haha. Best shit ever.

  • I did hear you scream that, and next time you should shut the fuck up, 1. he's married and won't marry you ever, so screaming that is completely pointless, and 2. When you're trying to sing for people and someone is screaming at interuptting the whole moment of the song, it would kind of make a person not want to marry them. 3. You just make 96% of the crowd hate you.

  • First of all, I know he is and I know he wouldn't, it was a joke, kind of like the guy who shouted "Take off your shirt!" when he obviously knew Dallas wouldn't. Secondly, he was not singing at the time, I wouldn't interrupt him while he was singing. Thirdly, no, not really, considering most of the crowd shouted comments. Everyone just wanted to have fun and we did, so don't be such a bitch about it.

  • He did it last night too...

    I was there, it was fricken' amazing.

  • :] thx! I'm totally still learning, and have a long ways to go, but I'm working on a Day Old Hate cover right now.

  • uuuugh!!!! I love it!!! I was there friday night! This was one of the best parts!! Thanks for posting

  • Did you get "Day Old Hate" by chance? My Fav

  • pure rawr talent

  • I just checked out your vids.. you're not too shabby yourself there! Ever thought of doing a City and Colour cover?
