I agree with the talent but that just doesn't resonate/sell and I don't believe he would give up his creative freedom cause they would surely try to change/mold him
@@thomasedmondson3585 creative freedom is a most excellent point because I’ve been trying to figure this conundrum out for a very long time. I hope his legacy is of the likes of the great poet, singer-songwriter Paul Simon!
We should try and keep this gemstone "our own secret" as long as possible. I've only introduced the people I feel closest to in my life to shakey graves. This guy is almost angelic in a way. I'd be happy with a few of his song being played at my funeral
Thanks for the kind words y'all! It was a serious honor to accompany such an amazing talent.That guy is as original as they come and good people to boot. Can't wait for the next album!
Way to go Cody!! Pretty freaking impressive for an improv performance! Is anyone else as jealous of him as I am?! That would be a complete dream come true to sing with Shakey Graves!!
Shakey popped up in my music feed while driving 2 days ago. Have been listening nonstop since. So great to see real music being made... REAL GREAT MUSIC!!!!
@@johnfath He just doesnt want to. He isnt a sell out. He supports the DIY seen and releases his music for free or cheap on itunes, spotify, does a lot of live tours.......at his live shows what he has made he sells as merch. He might have done vinyl releases before. Cassette tapes. CDs.

What a gem we have been given! Its so amazing to watch him play and his lyricss to boot! You think a song is about one thing and then one lyric will show you he means the opposite lol he's the best!
Man, I feel that every time he performs his songs sound different, but in a good way. I can't imagine the talent it takes to write a song and perform it hundreds of different ways. I wonder if he even rehearses or just makes it up on the spot. What a great musician!
Shakey Graves is an incredible musician and a real inspiration. Thanks KEXP for all the tunes you spin and the artists you bring to the world. Going to blast this and go driving now because sitting in front a screen when you feel bad is a curse.
Don't forget Colter Wall! There's a whole movement happening in our generation where real musicians are shirking the selling out and yet we're still able to find these talented, oh-so-talented performers.
I know Shakey Graves sounds the same live as in the studio but this is one of his best performances and it speaks volumes about the sound engineers at KEXP.
Found him last night at 2 am and been up sense then its now 2 45 pm, still watching him perform and lookjing at othe bands that show up with him on the play list seeing if there similar. HE NEEDS HIS OWN GENRE!!!!!!!
I opened Shakey's roadies edible in front of the Paramount and he sang about me, "the girl with the pocket knife and the yellow ostrich boots" and that was my 15 seconds of fame.
Saw him for the first time on June 10, 2016 opening for City and Colour at Rexall Stadium in Edmonton, Alberta. I had never heard of "Shakey Graves" before and normally the opening band is forgettable at best. I've been a die-hard City and Colour fan for years, but I can honestly say, Shakey stole this performance. He opened with "Word of Mouth" and I fell in love. I've since downloaded a few of his recorded tracks and I much prefer him live. He embodies the music and makes it his own on stage. Wonderful enthusiasm and emotion in his voice. He's also quite funny! Very likable musician and I can't wait to see him in concert when he's not just the opener :)
I disagree..many concerts I've been to. The opening act has been better..probably hungrier and not as worn out from the grind though could be a reason.
I am pretty totally straight... but man... when I see tis guy play, he is like, sexuality itself, a blood and flesh representation of attraction. Gorgeous, confident and funny at the same time. Also his physical features aren't ones that aren't worth mentioning. I am a jealous as hell, also feel like he's sexy as fuck.
So, I've been listening to Shakey for quite some time now and there's one thing I noticed. 100% of his songs start with "well" and about 75% of those start with "well I"
i know this video is a bit old, but SO GOOD anyway! Shakey, you keep saying ""thank you" through the vid, but i just wanted to say, "THANK YOU" for being being such a talented, and creative musician, and your music makes life a bit easier for the rest of us! Keep doin what your doin!
You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with all of the young people like me out there desperate for any sign of decent music in this pathetic generation of mine.
I've decided to wait two hours at the backdoor to get to talk to him, finally the band went to the van and in that moment a group of teens got there, I missed the opportunity. god bless
Holy shit the beginning of this is the same tune as Dining Alone on his latest Can't Wake Up album but with different lyrics. This is like finding buried treasure y'all.
its amazing how i saw this 6 months ago and only enjoyed Late July. I thought the other songs were meh, but i knew that i would grow to like the other songs. I've learned a few shakey songs, tabbed a lot out. Came back today, and absolutely love the rest of the songs as much as i love Late July.
"Well", let me tell you about his music... Involving; story telling and wholesome and a genre that SHAKEY is completely at comfort in. Love to listen to his stuff...
An absolute BOSS! sending put good energy and some positive vibrations and also some healing frequencies plus mad respect 🙏 SKAL, my brother. Thank you for all you do and all you have done.
andreilupsan Shakey cannot teach this. Those who can't do it teach it, and those who can do it, do it, and he does it. Glad I found this guy. (I'm from NOLA, and there is a lot of talent here...Shake can hang with them)
I love coming back to these older videos and finding the hidden gems... like that "Slay Time Blonde" song was possibly the start of the song "Dining Alone" on his new album (Can't Wake Up) that was just released. Same chords, melody, etc.
I will never understand why Shakey Graves is not one of the biggest names out there. It's unbelievable how talented this guy is.
I agree with the talent but that just doesn't resonate/sell and I don't believe he would give up his creative freedom cause they would surely try to change/mold him

so awesome haha
+Cody Russell lol I have watched this video so many times and never noticed this comment great job man
Had this song in my head this morning. then i realized that it was this version of the song, not the original!
That was so damn great!!
You were so great. 2 years ago? Really. Thanks for this.
I've probably, in the last 5 years, watched this 300 times. No one does it like Shakey.
I discovered him just over a year ago. And yeah I've probably watched it over a 100 easy
SAME
It's like 1000x for me... lol. I play guitar and think this man is so talented.... x
That cover of Kiss The Girl threw me for a loop, never saw it coming
Just saw Shakey in Philly. I’m in awe and smitten. What a talent and down to earth guy. Can’t wait to see him again ❤️
That’s a dream come true for sure! What’s your favorite song of him?
I can never get enough of him.
Stephanie Cano RIGHT?!

I've decided that Shakey Graves is #1 on the list of musicians that I need to play beer pong with.
XxBaconPandaxX Yes.
+XxBaconPandaxX hahahahaha
FUCK YES
Just ahead of bishop briggs and chris stapleton
Pool, also.
Way to go Cody!! Pretty freaking impressive for an improv performance! Is anyone else as jealous of him as I am?! That would be a complete dream come true to sing with Shakey Graves!!
this set never gets old. saw him live in london and it was AWESOME!!
Shakey popped up in my music feed while driving 2 days ago. Have been listening nonstop since. So great to see real music being made... REAL GREAT MUSIC!!!!
I saw him live tonight. Amazing show. 💕💕💕
I love this whole set, but whenever I'm down, I come back and listen to the Shakey/Cody duet and it never fails to bring a smile.
Good gracious. This guy has more talent in a strand of his hair than any current top 40 artist has in their whole body.
+John Fath why not? Some contract bs?
@@johnfath He just doesnt want to. He isnt a sell out. He supports the DIY seen and releases his music for free or cheap on itunes, spotify, does a lot of live tours.......at his live shows what he has made he sells as merch. He might have done vinyl releases before. Cassette tapes. CDs.
💯
some people are just absolutely born with a voice for singing.
He can sing to me 24 hours a day for the rest of my life and I would never get sick of his voice!!! Amazing talent sir 😍

Funny to hear the motifs from "Slay Time Blonde" in "Dining Alone" a few years later.
@@daltonrlee i like the original better lol
@@daltonrlee not even motifs bro its literally the song with different lyrics
i had to scroll hellas to find this, but thanks dawg. not all hero’s wear capes. 💯

The Cody and Shakey Graves together moment was magical!!
One man band is an understatement this guy is AMAZING!!!!!! Chills Everytime he hits the strings
First time listening to Shakey Graves. Completely blown away only 3 minutes in.
Blown away? you were blown away?
@@Dontbustthecrust that's usually what it means when someone says they're blown away
@@knoxpittman2799 that not usually what people say about mediocre musicians though.
@@Dontbustthecrust i get if it's not to your taste or whatever but if this is mediocre to you then your opinion just kinda sucks
@@Dontbustthecrust you wouldn’t know music if it punched you in the face if you think this is mediocre

dearly departed was def different lol
Why can't all people be this awesome?
Yo Shakey. I can barely chew gum and walk straight. you are amazing. my dream to come on stage and sing. made me cry. that guy has soul man.
I just can't even with Dearly Departed. So freaking awesome.
I can't wait to listen to this all the way through again
Dearly Departed brought a smile to myself.
KEXP audio mixing as always so fantastic! even on a bowling alley. and of course shakey is the best!
Wish this dude got more recognition!
he be aiiight
I wish I could like this video every time I watch and listen. He is magical.
The rendition of dearly departed is so funny and so great!
“Haven’t done this in awhile”…proceeds to slay, I can’t wait to see this man live
This guy is something spectacular. Wow.
Three years later and this is still one of the best concerts of all time imo
No doubt about it
Late July, Inarguably the best Shakey song ever , and best performance of it that I have heard right here
Shakey Graves is an incredible musician and a real inspiration. Thanks KEXP for all the tunes you spin and the artists you bring to the world. Going to blast this and go driving now because sitting in front a screen when you feel bad is a curse.
Shaky style reminds me of New Orleans and great street performers pure 🎁 with so much talent it pours from him.
Incredible how one man and a guitar can fill up a room the way he does! Hands down best singer/songwriter out there.
You forgot to give credits to the suitcase
Don't forget Colter Wall! There's a whole movement happening in our generation where real musicians are shirking the selling out and yet we're still able to find these talented, oh-so-talented performers.
I know Shakey Graves sounds the same live as in the studio but this is one of his best performances and it speaks volumes about the sound engineers at KEXP.
What a man, what a performance.
Oh, hell yes! That duet is THE best moment I've seen yet on KEXP! :)
Found him last night at 2 am and been up sense then its now 2 45 pm, still watching him perform and lookjing at othe bands that show up with him on the play list seeing if there similar. HE NEEDS HIS OWN GENRE!!!!!!!
That "Kiss the girl" cover
MY GOD
To anyone who liked the first song, its been renamed to 'Dining Alone', & it's FANTASTIC!!!
Thank you RUclips for recommending me this video. This guy is dang good.
Impossible to not watch the duet and not smile, music bringing pure joy to a bunch of strangers!! love it!!!
exactly
I opened Shakey's roadies edible in front of the Paramount and he sang about me, "the girl with the pocket knife and the yellow ostrich boots" and that was my 15 seconds of fame.
He has total command of his guitar. Props to him drinking a beer during pauses.
this is my favorite performance by him..
I always come back to this video, good for my soul
I get a warm and fuzzy feeling listening and freak out when I watch him perform, he's wild, Ilove it

I just saw him this year in yeg!
If he doesn’t burn out I think this guy is the next Bob Dylan.
Shakey Graves is extremely talented! Sounds even better live!
Thank you Alejandro!!! And thanks kexp for such awesome quality!
He was AMAZING at Blues on the Green this year, absolutely unbelievable- love you Shakey!!!
i love how when he sings his voice gets like an old-timey accent lol, he even gets a lisp outta nowhere lol
Haha so true😂😂😂
I friggin love that lisp, especially on the first audiotree recording!
It's the whistle for me

crazy to hear how slay time blonde transformed over the years into his melody for dining alone !
So, I've been listening to Shakey for quite some time now and there's one thing I noticed. 100% of his songs start with "well" and about 75% of those start with "well I"
this guy is great! he doesnt even need to loop his stuff.
And The War Came!!!
Shakey is crazy talented! Love the sound and I was glad I was able to see him and David Ramierez in Houston.
i know this video is a bit old, but SO GOOD anyway! Shakey, you keep saying ""thank you" through the vid, but i just wanted to say, "THANK YOU" for being being such a talented, and creative musician, and your music makes life a bit easier for the rest of us! Keep doin what your doin!
2 years after your comment, it's still damn good!!!
You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with all of the young people like me out there desperate for any sign of decent music in this pathetic generation of mine.
"this dude, wha...seriously?" LOL - he killed it.
The solo sets with him playing drums and tambourine too are way more compelling than full band sets. So damn talented.
Just saw this dude at Philadelphia Folk Festival a few days ago.
His studio output is great, but seriously- MAKE IT A POINT TO SEE HIM LIVE.
Absolute Performer. Checks all the boxes as a musician/songwriter. Shakey delivers.
I've decided to wait two hours at the backdoor to get to talk to him, finally the band went to the van and in that moment a group of teens got there, I missed the opportunity. god bless

I've been looking everywhere for tabs of this performance! Would you mind sharing?
ShadesoffosedahS I got tabs for many men and Christopher Columbus and they're up at guitar pro or songster
Cody killed it man!
True genius, this is pure talent, one word:THANKS
That duet at the end puts a smile on my heart every time.
So glad I found this guy before he comes to munich this november. Awesome live act.
"Well", let me tell you about his music... Involving; story telling and wholesome and a genre that SHAKEY is completely at comfort in. Love to listen to his stuff...
He’s somehow done it. Somehow killed it improved beyond the audiotree live vids. Was almost impossible to top but I’m watching it. Bravo.
Another good old Shake.
Beautiful! Absolute artistry at it's finest! Funny and charm! Way to go brotha!
That was the most enjoyable duet of the year
I love it. The balls of the man who put it all on the line.
Amazing to hear how "Dining Alone" from his new album got started with "Slay Time Blonde".
An absolute BOSS! sending put good energy and some positive vibrations and also some healing frequencies plus mad respect 🙏 SKAL, my brother. Thank you for all you do and all you have done.
The goosebumps are real af right now
he was on that show as a kid too, so weird, look it up. Synchronicity much? RRRight?
Shady Graves is just WOW! Amazing sound, vocals, and story teller. Love this guy!
I love how he plays a different version of his songs across every session you find of him!
Cody, you really are a delight. You made me chuckle and smile inside.
Dearly Departed was the funniest shit I've seen in awhile
Garrett Dellinger good song set he was the only guy there lol
So talented. And seems such a nice guy. I cannot get tired of listening to his music.
This hard wired is the best version I’ve heard. Great job👍🏻
Shakey Graves....amazing as always
These versions of Call it Heaven and The Donor Blues are so good... I’d buy this set if it came out as an album (hint hint KEXP...).
Dude, you hella ROCK! I mean seriously...thank you for sharing your oh so beautiful gift with the world.
So awesome! May be the best set yet! This man can do no wrong!
That duet was damn near as good as the original.
insipidMT THAT FOKIN BLACKBERRY...
I thought it was horrendous
I read this before seeing the performance. This is the best comment on youtube.
@@user-up4yt1gi6p drinking and the need for fun brought us that entertaining rendition. I loved it, very raw and energetic.
StayFoul although cute, it certainly comes nowhere near as good as the original
Saw him live in Jacksonville, Fl with Shovels and Rope in ..maybeee...2011. Very fun little show!
Exceptional performance with Jade Bird in Spokane! A real treat!
I hope you become a teacher... teach young ones to carry on the art that you deliver! All the best mate! Hands down!
