One young Irish boy by the name of Keelan sure knows how to give a proper tribute to a string of legends that helped shape the genre he has grown to love. Strumming his guitar and sporting a classic flannel in his dimly filtered performance, this boy passionately tugs at our heart as he emotionally credits a variety of unforgettable legends with George Jones‘ classic “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes.”
Keelan’s vocals carry a familiar country twang as he sings the heartfelt lyrics, “No, there will never be another/ Red-Headed Stranger/ A Man in Black and Folsom Prison Blues/ The Okie from Muskogee/ Or Hello Darling/ Lord, I wonder, who’s gonna fill their shoes?”
