Everybody wants to go home but its not there anymore. That time and place will never be again. A place doesn't make a home; the time and people do. Glad I got to live through it. Goodbye America. It was good while it lasted.

Great cover...with a few adjustments, it could be a full on zydeco romp and stomp

"Sloop John B" was not "by The Beach Boys..." It is a traditional folk song that, I'm fairly certain, comes out of the West Indies. The Beach Boys just happened to cover it. I really like how the song begins with Dwight Yoakam alone on his Martin D-28 Standard. Not easy to play that well while singing. Beautiful! as is all that Dwight Yoakam performs.

Hands down, my second favorite country and ROCK singer ever. And a damn good actor. Johnny Cash is Number One, tied with Hank Sr.

The first time I heard this cover of Sloop John B I LOVED it.It is one of my favourite Beach Boys tracks and this cover exceeds all expectations.Dwight is an awesome singer/ musician.Apart from his exceptional covers(Train in Vain by the Clash one eg) his songs are pure magic and you get the drift of just how good he is.He's country and so much more;the raw and incredible natural talent he has helped shake the foundations of country and breathe fresh air into the established view of country Effortless and pure heart is this singer and he deserves his Star on the Walk of Fame.Johnny Cash called him his favourite modern country artist and I agree. Thanks for uploading this incredible performance.Go Dwight.You're fantastic in every sense of the word;anyone lucky enough to see you live will never forget the music hit.

As a fan of the beach boys, this. is. the. best. cover. of. that. song. Did not care for the others. But if you hate this beautiful version (my favorite) then you're just here to stir shit up. Instruments are great along with the awesome harmonies.

Looking for songs to make a Playlist for my grandpa's funeral. Iv always love dewight and we don't want sad songs but songs that are upbeat and that are a reminder of my grandpa who's name is John B. ManchesterHe was in his younger years a roudy out going drinking man who loved life and was a little bit gypsy. I never heard this song until today lol. I think it's going on the Playlist. ♡
