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

Josh Turner playing the Paul Simon classic—dare I say it—every bit as good as Mr. Simon, and that’s saying something.

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.

Monday morning the signal goes out and Josh Turner’s friends and family from around the country check in to sing this wonderful version of The Weight. That’s Josh’s dad and mom in the opening lines. Great work by Josh on putting the video together.

Nice to find this song on YouTube—Reina and Josh sung it at their recent NYC engagement, and I thought it was a wonderfully smart piece of songwriting by Reina. Of course, Josh provides his usual tasteful musicianship to the performance.

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.

Josh Turner and company with an audacious country/folk music take on the Paul Simon classic from the Graceland album that is every bit as good as the original.
