Got to tell ya buddy . I LIVE JUST 8 MILES outside of Galesburg in south a knoxville and east a Abington And if you ever make it back this way your welcome to stay. I'm far enough out in the sticks and have enough property you can play Galesburg and stay here for free. Well maybe a song.🤣 Been listening to you for a while now. Wish I'd have known ya Back when you were here.
It was a great idea! Please do more stuff like this! I love your music Willie, if I may call you that. Greetings from the other side of the world, you help me remember all the parts of America that I love
Dylan Earl has a hell of a voice. And when Willie Carlisle sings god you can feel that he has lived that life. Nick shoulders voice reminds me of 1920’s barber shop...
I’m in my garden in Oregon, cigarettes, booze and reefer at the ready. Also, cleaning out my van from my foray into the hashtag vanlife episode in my life. 😂😂😂
Wow! Sheriff Baker. I grew up in Madison county, raised by Outlaws. Growing weed in the 80s was some sketchy shit. Sheriff Baker was pretty well known to disappear the competition. My initiation tthe concept of cops being armed and dangerous. Thanks, Nick for reminding me of home.
I used to sing punk music. I hid all the country/Folk songs I wrote until I found these guys. So grateful for this channel for helping me find my sound.
Thankyou WesternAF, thankyou RUclips, thankyou Internet, thankyou Willi Carlisle, Nick Shoulders and Dylan Earl, thankyou world for making things like this possible. Greetings from Germany!
@@GregHalvorson correct, but it feels as though I am there shooting the shit and trading songs WITH them because of the camera work and their general demeanor
I'm from Lake Tahoe but lived in Arkansas from 2016-2019 and Hot Springs is the only place I've ever felt at home. I had to come back to Nevada because my mother was dying, and to just stumble across this video today has brought me to more tears than I want to admit haha. I saw Dylan Earl open up for Lost Dog in Little Rock a few years ago and loved the guy and was just blown away by this synchronicity today. Thanks guys! Miss you Arkansas
On a serious note, I've lived in AR all my life. I left to live in Alaska for a time and then Ohio. As soon as the pandemic started I felt I had to come back. Best decision I made. It truly is my home.
Dylan Earl‘s song buddy is one of my favorite traveling songs I’ve ever heard. Now van life is one of my favorites too. I don’t think you can talk about traveling songs without mentioning buddy and van life. Or at least I can’t, not any more. Three of my favorite folk singers in one show. The stuff dreams are made of. The pinnacle of good living, reminds me of my traveling days driving around the country tattooing an making art. Thankfully the world is opening back up and the road is calling my name. I hope I can catch a live show. Thank you fellas 🙏🏽
I'd love to hear Buddy again and again and again. I come back to this recording every so often and it's such a gift. Each song has so much emotion behind it. Positively Epic Session!
I need “buddy” on repeat for the rest of my life. What a great song. Hats off to the whole crew! And thank you Western AF for putting the pieces together
How wonderfully authentic and genuine that was! Warmed my heart completely! Thanks fellas. There’s thousands of us out here watching that would give up up a kidney for one night just like this! (Well a finger at least!) 👌🎶🤘
My lort that made me feel some kinda way. Those boys sure are some kind of cute.Oregon here. And I finally found a descriptor for my prairie dress & pentagram way of dressing
Just wanted to thank y’all for this. Brought back a lot of memories of when my brother lived at a punk house in Hammond Indiana by the rail yard. Lots of traveling musicians and punks and the stories and memories. It was called the BACH (big ass collective house).
You all are great! Just great. I would’ve given my big toes to be at that campfire. I was hooked from the first song, AND THEN, you had to double down with the Revisionist History references AND the best owl calls I’ve heard since I was a kid. Thank you all for doing your thing. It’s beautiful.
God damn I love that recording, beautiful music from y'all Love that ending too, " Have a good night y'all, say no to fascism". I sure will say no to fascism!💚
as a man born and raised in the Appalachians seems to me Ozark folk were cut from the same cloth.. so Sydney Dwoskin if you're anywhere in between I/you could pick you/me up when i decide to make m way west
Lookin at it from the front, it looks like that candles burnin up that guitar microphone! The cracklin of the fire.just adds an element of character. Happy trails!
At first I was thinking " What a good-looking group of country guys!", but suddenly Shoulders starts yodelling, and then I need to lean in a little closer for Willi's lyrics, and finally Dylan's deep gentle voice to puts me back down on the ground where I belong. I'm in love!
Shoot, thanks folks. This was definitely an off-the-cuff idea, and it's Western AF that made it real and made it sound so good!
Willi you rock man!

Cuz we are the cops of the world boys..

Better music in that hour than in any modern country award show.
With you there brother, sick name btw
Who watches awards shows?
Yes! The so called “country” on the radio today is utterly disappointing!
So crazy what's on the radio vs this type of sound. Wish it wasn't so.
That was so outdoorsy I got a couple of mosquito bites just listenin'.
my belly turned into a beer belly
I actually don't know how I got here but I sure glad I did
Many days like that ,many many nights tho😆
Ha! Me too! Welcome awesome friends!
I blacked out and woke up with a mullet. What happened?
Dylan Earl has a hell of a voice. And when Willie Carlisle sings god you can feel that he has lived that life. Nick shoulders voice reminds me of 1920’s barber shop...
Dylan's voice is dreamy af.
Aaaah...Nick. A fine Irish tenor he be.
@@NitaKerns Buddy is so fuckin good I cry every single time and thats before he even sings.
I come back to listen to Dylan, his solo acoustics are the best
Nick's voice reminds me of Slim Whitman
Can’t get enough of Nick shoulders
Sitting in my car at 4am, which I live in, saving up for van. I really enjoyed this van life jam.
Did you get your van yet?
Stay warm!
DIdya buy the van?
We gotta know about that van, bud.
Seeing these guys playing for the fun and messing up is awfully comforting. Like jamming with the buddies and fuckin up.
Definately. Can't help but to smile at it! ...shucks... 🍻
Watching from Scotland ! Cigarettes, reefer , coffee and booze.
I spent the first half of my life on cigarettes and booze, I prefer to spend the second half on coffee and reefer!
booze, then reefer then maybe a herbal tea
I’m in my garden in Oregon, cigarettes, booze and reefer at the ready. Also, cleaning out my van from my foray into the hashtag vanlife episode in my life. 😂😂😂
Thats a good time
this is some wholesome ass stuff to discreetly play in your headphones at work ngl.
Damn you just spelled out my last hour at work made my day honestly
You simultaneously described the next hour of my workday.
Will is that you?
Literally me right now
Willi Carlisle is a great songwriter.
I feel like Willi Carlisle could do a great version of you can have the crown.
I agree
This is literally so fucking cute that i shed a tear or two lmao. Little Goth on the Praire ..
I think I might have stumbled upon a good time

those two are closer than you think and both equally enjoyable 😉
@@hanskloss1331 Way closer. Theres a whole slew of weirdos out there like trainhoppers who's lives are pure punk and pure folk.
That second Willie song had me tearin up. I will always be moved by how much emotion he puts into his music.
Thankyou WesternAF, thankyou RUclips, thankyou Internet, thankyou Willi Carlisle, Nick Shoulders and Dylan Earl, thankyou world for making things like this possible. Greetings from Germany!
For those that hit the "thumb down" must be miserable AF.
Eastern AF
@@maeksu 😂😂😂
@@maeksu sounds bout right! 🤣 doggone sorry fuckers!
Don't be ridiculous; people don't have to like what you like.
Southern AF
Thank you, Western AF. Words cannot express how great this was tonight
truly hope our favorite folk cousins team up for an east coast swing once we're "normal"
Normal 🤯
Id do anything some New England shows
@@NitaKerns most folk shows swing through NE and skip all of PA :((
Wish this were about 3 hours longer. Could listen all night.
This feels like you're just chillin around the fire and shooting the shit and trading some songs and I love it.
Uuuh, that is what they're doing.
@@GregHalvorson correct, but it feels as though I am there shooting the shit and trading songs WITH them because of the camera work and their general demeanor
@@bendingriver7101 ... Ah, I understand... I agree, this was great.
Willie is absolutely phenomenal. I’ve been infatuated with Van Life for the past year. What a trip. Thank ya Doc.
I need a Western AF bumper sticker to put next to my Bigfoot Flipping off sticker.This made my evening!

Come on back now, ya hear 💖
On a serious note, I've lived in AR all my life. I left to live in Alaska for a time and then Ohio. As soon as the pandemic started I felt I had to come back. Best decision I made. It truly is my home.
I think I’ve played this every night for a week straight now. Pure country gold. All 3 are so talented in their own beautiful ways
Dylan Earl‘s song buddy is one of my favorite traveling songs I’ve ever heard. Now van life is one of my favorites too.

Is buddy on an album or a single? Is that even the name?
Watching Nick double over laughing while Willi sings Van Life is bringing me so much joy.
I can't get enough of these three!
Dope smokers at dawn Unite! ✊🏻
I'm not an American people, but so good is this music and I like it !!!
This version of van life is so good!...I can't leave it alone
This is the best hour I've spent in a very long time.
The van life is gold! I'd like to say I love you to my brother Josh. I hope you see this kiddo!
Oh man, I didn't think I could like this more THEN A HEARTFELT UTAH PHILLIPS SONG!
I'd love to hear Buddy again and again and again. I come back to this recording every so often and it's such a gift. Each song has so much emotion behind it. Positively Epic Session!
Oh my gosh, freaking feel like I'm there around a good old fashioned fire.. Like rain like a good ol fashioned fire, just wonderful guys!
these young gentleman touches an old mans heart, I am so impressed, So nice that the se guys are there and make my life better.
I'm from Erie Illinois.
Was just in Galesburg to pick up a 4 wheeler. Some good ole boy out in them woods
Willi was spitting FIRE
Wow how I love this. Had me dancing around my woodstove thinking that there might be better times ahead. Cheers.
Music is the way the gods speak
I need “buddy” on repeat for the rest of my life. What a great song. Hats off to the whole crew! And thank you Western AF for putting the pieces together
this was so sick. i hope yall do more cabin fever sessions
Hot damn friends🤘🔥
That wind hitting the mic on top of the song gave me chills during Willi's second song
In Florence Colorado right now and last night this was a great jam session to smoke a J to
wonderful !!!!
Wow! First time hearing this amazing songs and sounds! Western AF!
Being on the road away from the wife and pups always sucks but yall made it suck a little less. Thanks from Sikeston, MO.
I'll come back to this to listen to multiple times buddy
I don’t do this often , but I can’t wait for Friday when I get off work, I’m gonna drink some whiskey and watch this again
How wonderfully authentic and genuine that was! Warmed my heart completely! Thanks fellas. There’s thousands of us out here watching that would give up up a kidney for one night just like this! (Well a finger at least!) 👌🎶🤘
Independence song by Willie was chilling. Keep that song for all your sets!
I felt right at home.
Excellent !!! (France)
The absolute best western af. Video
So excited for this
Holy shit Willi, that Independence Day song was something.
I wish this version of vanlife was on Spotify !!!
The new classics, right here.
THE VAN LIFE SONG!!! HAHAHAHAHA
Like an updated, eternally more badass version of a roy rogers show
Found this a little late, but enjoyed the heck out of it!!
This show saved my life!!
what a poet and philosopher. Gamble Rogers' spirit lives. so happy to have discovered on WSM AM radio this morning
Dude. Van Life was grand…epic performance
Merci beaucoup !!!
My lort that made me feel some kinda way. Those boys sure are some kind of cute.Oregon here. And I finally found a descriptor for my prairie dress & pentagram way of dressing
sounds like a nice combo of styles 👍
Country goths unite
Been listening to this non stop

That was really terrific, I wish I'd seen it back during the pando
Thank God for these artists and this Chanel

That roger Miller cover is top notch. All three of these guys can rip. Thank you for sharing! Much respect & appreciation.
God damn I love that recording, beautiful music from y'all
Love that ending too, " Have a good night y'all, say no to fascism". I sure will say no to fascism!💚
The fire cracklin in the background really makes this set something special.
I’ll tell y’all once tell it again, we’re breedin musicians down here in Arkansas
yall really are, good lord. i gotta get out to the ozarks!
from ashes rise phoenix
as a man born and raised in the Appalachians seems to me Ozark folk were cut from the same cloth.. so Sydney Dwoskin if you're anywhere in between I/you could pick you/me up when i decide to make m way west
I’ll be moving from Iowa to northwest Arkansas soon
@@woody421421 no stay over there, we're full up here. 😜
Lookin at it from the front, it looks like that candles burnin up that guitar microphone! The cracklin of the fire.just adds an element of character. Happy trails!
Tuned in cos I love NS but Willies Van Life song was hot as hell ❤️ some outstanding lines in that story 😉
Love the string picking in buddy.
sunday best was craaaaazy
WTF...these guys can put on a show. Great voices, great songs. Finally RUclips autoplay brought me to something awesome.
These songs should be put in individual tracks. Would get a heap more clicks ! Dylan sounds amazing in this setting. Best he has sounded
I would love to see this line-up in person live. In the best of ways it reminds me of the Pete Seeger Rainbow Quest.
Western AF and The Next Waltz are just absolutely amazing
yall got me missing little backyard shows. making my damn heart ache
This is real livin' music.
Don't get much better than this.. real music
This is absolute heaven
I just watched this again many months later.. fantastic
This is so damn good.
Thank y'all!!!
This is wonderful. Thanks for making this happen.
These guys are some of the best songwriters and singers alive right now.
I would pay good money to see those three gentlemen perform live, in such a setting...!
I've never heard of any of these guys but I will be a lifetime fan. I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED this campfire & candle concert! ❤💯🙌
At first I was thinking " What a good-looking group of country guys!", but suddenly Shoulders starts yodelling, and then I need to lean in a little closer for Willi's lyrics, and finally Dylan's deep gentle voice to puts me back down on the ground where I belong. I'm in love!
