Josh Turner and friends cover the Paul McCartney ditty from the Ram album. I really enjoyed the extended banjo, fiddle, bass, and drum chorus at the end. And how the heck does Josh do that video editing, keeping all the audio in synch?

I’ve posted a great Dylan version of this song on the blog previously, but Monday morning I’m posting this one too, because it’s very good, and we’re all looking over our shoulders these days.

Monday morning, moon and monkeyshines as the family that stills together, trills together.

One of my favorite standards as whisky-in-hand performed by Messrs. McKee and Turner on the rooftop of Josh’s apartment. Dig the passing subway.

Carson hits those low notes and Josh does his usual amazing guitar work. I’m not even a Johnny Cash fan, but I really enjoyed this.

Monday morning and I won’t blame you if you might be skeptical about two young white guys singing this Roberta Flack classic, penned by Eugene McDaniels.
It sounds like there’s just no way it can work. But Carson McKee and Josh Turner defy expectations once more. It’s really worth a listen. They’re head-slappingly good. Click on the video to play.

Carson McKee joins Josh Turner on this one. I didn’t expect to like it, but Josh’s harmonies and guitar, along with Carson’s straightforward singing, made the song seem fresh.
