Here is how that song is supposed to be done:

There are a lot of people out there who think music isn't speaking to them anymore," says James Otto. "Song Of The Violin" was a late addition to the record that James recently wrote for his maternal grandparents' 50th anniversary. I saw both video and i liked both. I like more "Groovy Little Summer Song".

First time I've heard James sing it, but I like James' version better than Jamey's.

Otto's doing his best to convey the emotion of the song, but Jamey Johnson's version is just too iconic to be covered decently. It's kind of like the Beatles' "Yesterday" - great song with some half decent cover versions but a cover version has never challenged the original's supremacy.
