He might be small, but this little cutie has more charm than even the biggest heartthrobs in the business! 5-year-old with massive talent channels Johnny Cash in a heart-melting rendition of 1955 hit “Folsom Prison Blues.”

Little Raylan joined his father Jared and his band, The Moonlight Pickers, on stage to jam out to the country classic at a graduation party. Not only did the young country outlaw display a knack for performing, he also played the guitar with insane skill level for his age.

The Moonlight Pickers are a country band with “a peppering of rock” based out of rural Northern Illinois. While the band is currently unsigned, they are working on releasing their first album to be released in summer 2017.

“Folsom Prison Blues” was written by Cash in 1953 and recorded years later in 1955 for his debut album With His Hot and Blue Guitar. The song was a massive hit for the legend, going on to become one of his signature song.
