    Another great one! This is just one more of the many comments that will get lost in the pile but Carson... I really enjoy your voice and your delivery of the songs you do. You, Skylar, Josh, Elle, Toni.. ALL of the folks you introduce or collaborate with have been a great amount of musical comfort to this old guy. It's apparent that music won't die a painful death with people like you folks around. Thanks!

    Soulful and musical, well done Mr. McKee. The clarity of the sound does a great job carrying your voice and the rhythmic drive of your guitar playing...The acoustic lead guitar break was tasty and just what the tune called for...With any justice in this world your music will be much more well known...But as it stands what you have done is already moving and artful and that counts for a lot...Thank you for what you do.

    What a great songwriter Iris is. Particularly when she was young, she "was willing to go there." I think that gets harder w age; the early work is so often better than the late. Especially in music.

    Thank you for introducing me to a new song! This one’s going on my Favorites list. And I’m thinking it would go well on my “To be played at my funeral” playlist, for real. Edit: I just checked out the original - which is good. I also found a version by Natalie Merchant / 10,000 Maniacs and David Byrne - which is fun. But I still like yours better.

Your guitar and voice are the cure for much of what ails us. Keep them coming!

Thank you Carson, from a guy at your performance at the venue next to the Oregon Cheese Cave in Phoenix Oregon a few years ago! 🙂

    Great job Carson. So rare to find anyone covering the amazing songs of Iris. Carson, I don't know if you've ever heard of a folksinger from the 60s named Phil Ochs. I heard an album of his way back when called "All the New That's Fit to Sing". Teenage me was blown away. I believe that album is available on YT. I am leaving a link to a cut from that album called "Power and Glory". Give it a listen. See what you think. Also there is an old Haggard song that never got the attention it deserved called "Daddy Frank (The Guitar Man)". I'll leave that link also. Hope you enjoy them (if they are new to you). 1) Phil Ochs - kzread.info/dash/bejne/fouXrLiomra0m5s.html 2) Merle Haggard - kzread.info/dash/bejne/kW11ybhpd87RZpc.html
