If I Ain't Got You (Alicia Keys cover feat. Josh Turner)
Just a phenomenal song. I am trying to be grateful every day - for my loved ones, for you all, for the little things that are easy to let live in the background. We learned a bit of a lesson about noise level recording in this Brooklyn park, hah, but it was such a lovely day that we needed to be outside. Thanks to Josh, as usual, for elevating the performance in a way I couldn't have accomplished by myself!

It's the same guy just in different make-up/outfits and clever editing with a greenscreen. Thats the beauty of the internet and computers.

It's like '95 Michael Jordan coming out of retirement. Jk, it's not October yet, so I figure I'd get one more out of him 🙃

And thank God, I was well into Josh-withdrawal….well that didn’t sound right…..
You guys are terrific. I've been enjoying your work together and with other artist for quite some time now. Your talents are appreciated. Sweet outro on the guitar by Josh too!

Thanks so much! Yep, that's that patented Josh magic!
Hi guys, you've hit another one out of the park! Carson, your voice is so good. I wish I knew more superlatives to lavish upon you both. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
Chilling interpretation thank you. Looked like those notes were coming out heart-to-fingers, no head in between. Or as Alicia would call it "just vibing"
I honestly loved the little sounds of life picked up in the park. Fantastic, as always.
Beautiful. Bluesy, Jazzy, Soul... That's just what I needed right now! I'd like to hear Norah Jones cover this song.
Beyond the music which is both musical and soulful; it is watching two old friends sitting down at ease with one another and working together to make a song sound great even in a windy environment, that is what makes me smile most...And I bet many others feel the same way about you both, Carson and Josh.
Sublime. Fine work, fellas.
This is an astounding song Alicia Keys wrote! (Wikipedia doesn't mention she had any co-writers!) The two of you demonstrated just how good it is stripped-down to acoustic basics!
Great song choice, this one suits you guys so well.
Awesome. You guys make magic together... here in a park surrounded by people who have no idea what they're missing. But we aren't missing it. Thanks Carson. Your voice is GOLD! Thanks Josh. Your guitar work is mesmerizing.
So good to see and hear you two back making music together again

I think this was recorded a while ago
That was such a great rendition! You both sound awesome! 😊🎵
I was thinking how did they get a squirrel to watch them for that long then realised it was a mic wind muff 🤣 Nice to see you guys making some fabulous music together again, guitar playing and vocals out of this world thank you 🙏
Wonderful!!
The music (vocal and instrumental) is very good as usual but I also appreciate these visits to new locations - it transports me to new places and experiences - and also reminds me of times in my past when I might have been sitting in the grass with friends who were playing and singing.
Very good! Carson Mckee is a hell of a singer (and he always writes the sweetest comments possible) and his guitarist is remarkable too (look and outfit included: very tasteful). If I may, I think this channel could successfully host a memorable 'Ain't no Sunshine' cover. A great end of September to everybody 😊.

I love Josh being described as "his guitarist." Like the old joke about the Beatles being McCartney's backup band.
Superb❤❤❤
Always a pleasure to see _The Other Favorites_ in action! I would have never seen this song as an _Other Favorites_ cover candidate, but, man, you guys made it your own! Outstanding! 🙂
You two ARE music together. I doubt that I will ever understand how Josh arrives with the goods that he delivers,but man it's tasty stuff and he's always right there backing up Carson's fabulous vocals. You're favorites alright!
I've never had the opportunity to listen to any Alicia Keys songs. So I have no comparison to her and this cover. But just let me say, I will never go seek out that version. Carson this is so awesome! I cannot imagine it would be possible to perform this any better. Yes, anyone would be blessed to have Josh back you up, but your talent is unmatched. So peaceful. Hang in there buddy, and thank you so much! ☮❤

Alicia Keyes is àn amazing musician.
Very nice, Carson and Josh. Love your voice, Carson, and Josh's tasteful harmonies, the arrangement, the atmosphere/recording, all come together for a truly wonderful online experience. Thank you for continuing to share your considerable talents with us all.
What a combo! The best voice and the best guitar. There are no better.
Josh is really a quality guitar player. I will say that he’s really filled out his own style imo
Nice having you two playing again. Fantastic as always.
I know I'm going to view this multitude times over the forthcoming years. You guys come across as so genuine and not driven by ego. And reading everyone's uniquely beautiful comments adds to this stunning rendition. Thanks so much.
What a Delight! "The Original Duo" to bring more Light into our day~ Thank you Greatly for Blessing us w/your Talents~ Much Love to you both & to ALL your fans & family~
Outstanding
Love your music so much! Come to Canada! And bring you rooster looking mic with you!
Amazing, amazing... that's only workshop I can say. Warm greetings from Brazil.
Wow!
True artists
It was soooooo good I had to listen two times in a row. I've been watching you and Josh since you were babies... lol, and I love how naturally you bring out the best in each other. Thank you for sharing your gifts with all of us.
Brilliant Carson. Brilliant Josh
I must now have watched this perhaps 20 times. More? I don't know. It is the most exhilarating performance I have ever heard. Ever. Perfect in every way. And that's perfect with a capital P.
Another amazing performance by both of you, sublime!
Bold to cover this song but you two pulled it off as you always do!!

@@carsonmckeemusic Well you did great! Have a great day Carson and keep posting! Best wishes from Webster Groves Missouri.
Beautiful, como siempre! Esas sencillas armonías , love it!😍
Had the NYE Gravity Mashup stuck in my head yesterday! Great as always guys
Exceptional, thank you both.
The quality of this recording is unbelievable. That little Zoom recorder is amazing!
Carson has the best voice to come down the pike in a long time and I could watch Josh's guitar skills all day! Burlington Bill busking on the road and here on You Tube.
Beautiful
Love this and love you two ❤
A fan here, for ages, and you two never cease to amaze me. Thanks for this!! I was there for your online concert during the pandemic, and have since moved from AZ to Boston... and cannot wait to catch one of your live shows someday ❤
Wow. So good, just beautiful. Thank you.
Lovely
Gorgeous.
nice to see you guys still playing together )
I'm so happy to see you two together. The other favoritea will always be my favorite guitar duo.
You two just VIBE!!!!!!! Well DONE BOYS!!!!!!!!!!
so nice, you guys were born for this. thanks for sharing
Absolute magical alchemy! Thanks Carson and Josh for sharing your gift to the world!
Once again, you nailed it guys, and the harmonies at the end are insanely beautiful. Love all your covers
Thumbs UP.
excellent, as always
Blown away.They are a sort of startling wonder. Staggeringly, wonderfully musical.
The ole Zoom H2,, ohh don't ever stop using her ~ You guys are the best together, I've been following you for years now!
Amazing!🤩
You two guys are so good together. Josh is a super musician...the guy is a machine! What really makes it guy is that you guys love to make music.
Oh lord, this a gorgeous rendition. ❤
Incredible, great job gentlemen. Sounds amazing.
One of my favorite songs. Nailed it... Bravo!👏👏👏
Adoro essa dupla! Carson e Josh👏🏽
Carson, you make the funniest faces when you sing. But the sound that comes out is AMAZING! You and Josh are so great together and I love every video of you guys! Please never stop.
bro that piano intro on guitar with those harmonics. wish i could play like that
So fricking good, as always. Cheers from Brazil :))
Tremendous guys! Claps, i listened 3 times in row
Greetings from the UK Great duo love it My new friends peace and love to you and yours
Damn. That sounds good
Woo! I love seeing The Other Favorites together again :D The fingerstyle on this gives it so much ✨sparkle✨
Always a guaranteed vibe with these two. Great cover.
The Other Favorites are my first favorite. I so enjoy each of your music individually, but none so much as when you’re together!
Excellent cover. The more I come back to listen and learn the more I appreciate. This duo makes it a unique cover by adding layers. A little bass, a little picking, great singing at a lower range with a higher range harmony and spot on guitar work that I hope to emulate.
What a beautiful time out to my working day ❤️
The Times Spuare Version with John Mayer and Questlove is one of my all-time favorites. Now, there are two of these fantastic song by Alicia Keys. Thank you, guys 😊
Wow.. so much feeling and such a professional level. Love the work you do.
Absolutely fantastic. Back to the best of Josh and Carson! Keep them coming and look forward to your next UK tour!
Josh, your rythm guitar is perfect, brilliant.. Carson your voice is so beautiful.. ..
I'll be 70 in November and for me, that's about as good as it gets. It digs deep...
Wow, remarkable, as always!
You two never disappoint!
I missed you two playing together, you rock guys❤ thank you for what you do
So good I had to listen to it twice, and many more times to come 👍
Every song you two take on is so damn wholesome ❤
I miss you two together
It’s all music, Carson, and you and Josh are just another musical miracle of nature. Cheers, fellas. ~ Mark
Loved this version of a great song. You two bring the magic - greater than the sum of the individual parts. I enjoyed the ambient sounds of the park, and the girls in the far background just having fun really added to the atmosphere of the video. Thanks for this.
Bloodyhell, that’s two good musicians (still). Saw you, Josh, at the Balabam (London) 5 or 6 years ago and I know you thought I was disinterested - but in reality I was knackered after a long day and just phased out in awe of your skill.
Super.
Wow.. just Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing Carson.
Well, that was just gorgeous
wow, excellent, what a sound, what a voice and Josh's guitar playing, just unbelievable! Thank you!
Funny how that good old Zoom H2n still holds. Even in windy weather it sounds great. Glad I got myself one too 🙂, though mine doesn't sound that good... maybe the problem is what/who it is recording 🙂
Perfection per usual.
Bit of a Jamie Cullum vibe coming through Carson's voice in this one! Very nice dudes
coordinated avatars on point. oh and good rendition too!
