Today, Jim Fusco reached 800 YouTube video subscribers! This was done without a single “invite”, meaning these are all people who listened to Jim’s acoustic cover song music videos and liked them so much, they decided to subscribe.
Here’s looking forward to Jim’s goal of 1,000 subscribers and a million views!
By Ryan V:
Cover of “Up from Under” by the Wallflowers. I did this with a freeware webcam recorder – sorry about that… Thus the audio and video are kinda crappy, plus that annoying watermark. But the vocals/guitar is all me, just a bit delayed.
** EDITOR’S NOTE: **
Ladies and gentlemen, let’s extend a warm welcome to the latest addition to the Guest Sessions team of performers… Ryan!
Ryan’s choice is an excellent one for an acoustic cover song. In fact, after all the Breach covers that Jeff Copperthite and I have done over the years (“Sleepwalker,” “Hand Me Down,” “I’ve Been Delivered”), we’ve somehow managed to miss this little gem. Breach really is an underrated album with a wide selection of beautiful songs, and Dylan and company strike a perfect balance between electric and acoustic work.
As Ryan points out above, the quality lags a bit on this music video. Still, I think you’ll find it to be a solid, faithful cover version with some great fingerpicking. He’s been watching the Laptop Sessions for some time, and I’m proud to welcome him to the blog via this performance. Seeing as how we were less than ten days away from the one year anniversary of our last Wallflowers post (Jeff’s February 27, 2009 cover of “I’ve Been Delivered”), we thank Ryan for sending this in just in time…
Here’s to many more great cover song music videos!
By Jim Fusco:
Folks, I’m proud to announce that I’ve crossed over the half-million mark. Yes, 500,000 YouTube video views on my acoustic cover songs and counting! The popularity of this YouTube series has skyrocketed since I started it all back in late 2007. It feels like so much longer than two years. But, 200 videos, over 730 subscribers, and over a half-million video views later, here we are!
The numbers continue to grow and I can only hope that the next 500,000 (which I’m hoping will come in just half the time as the first half-million) will be comprised of more views from the blog itself and not through searches on YouTube.
Thank you to all my subscribers and everyone that’s helped make the Laptop Sessions such an internet sensation!
