Holy crap!  That kid has a future.  With that touch of yodel in his voice he could cross over into country music easily.

Got to say Kurt Nilsen blew me away.

His bit in the song Hallelujah (2:05 into it) was probably the best I have ever heard it done.

The guy has some serious talent.

This is AMAZING.  The only bad thing about it is they didn't find a way to vocalize the drums.

Came across this one tonight.

Leon Russell doing George Harrisons "Beware of darkness".

One of the greatest voices in music EVER!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlB9AQGDMrs

Btw, I think this guy is a dead ringer for Lynx.

And his version of Bob Dylans "Hard rain gonna fall"
