- (update: 3/26/24)Wow, how far we have come since this recording, all of us. Sierra is now world famous, in some small subset of Americana music lovers. Millions of views, who woulda thunk it? Last time I saw her, I was making a few tour stops with Jeremie Albino, the Canadian musician and buddy who was opening for Sierra on some West Coast shows. Sierra sauntered up before a show one night, we exchanged hugs and hellos, and she offered me some deadly powerful edibles. Then she rocked the theatre each night.
The first time I met Sierra, she asked me to dance at the Honky Tonk Tuesday night at the American Legion in Nashville. Of course i'd heard of her before - from Lost Dog and various bands and vagabonds who told me of her amazing old time singing and habit of blowing into (and out of) town. The rumors held true. Our friend Eric introduced us in his amazing home studio to do this video.

Her voice sounds like a old 1920s recording, and it’s amazing.
Woohoo I know it I love it rock out
Thats the mic and the EQ on the recording (added to her extreme focus on the style)
yes♡amazing.swoon!{♡}
Harmonica microphone gives it that old timey record sound
Fallout should take this one
What a haunting voice. This young woman is no fucking joke. She gave me shivers.
full body chills
Collab with Coulter Wall, would set the shivers going on a global scale.
We need a Colter Wall and Sierra Ferrell collabo project! Their cowboy picking would flow so nicely.
send em requests!
@@GemsOnVHS please make this happen!
OMG YES make this happen
Or Charley Crockett
And go !
Her voice sounds like old vinyl. Great stuff
That's very true!
You summed it up perfectly
Here is something to remember...
Like the crackle of dust being hit with the needle...
Her voice its a smooth drive on a young road, but the tires have seen gravel a few miles back. A stone pebble flings out of the tread, ringing the wheel-well, echoing a brief reminder of where it's been.
My first thought exactly
From her facial expressions it’s like she becomes the character in the song. Like she’s feeling it straight from her soul. Such a rare and different tune! Love it
Ya mean like she really did it. Hee hee.
The smoky vibrato and mysterious songwriting of Billie Holiday mixed with the tragedy and rock and roll of Janis Joplin. She’s an instant classic
did billie holiday write this i cant find it anywhere ?
@@eljungo902 It is an original song by Sierra Ferrell
hear hear
@@thealaskapicker8628 Yeah, that's what I thought. Fuck off with your Billie Holiday Janis Joplin modern americana associating bullshit. This is modern cowboy music and if you can't think of a better comparison then go back to the city yuppy. Billie fucking Holiday???? Give me a break. Janis Joplin was a whiney hippie put on by a rich Jew. Just like Whitney Houston and P Diddy and Springsteen and Aerosmith and Alicia Keys. Piss off. This young woman is miles ahead. The issue is with the platform and the listeners. People, like you, are too interested in black media and black culture and do not even begin to understand the roots of this music.
I always say it's a mix of Dolly Parton and Janis Joplin when I try to describe to people/
Best RUclips rabbit hole I ever wandered down!
Fucking right
Amen
Right!? I started with Rising Appalachia and now I am here....
Welcome!
This is two years old and I’m only hearing this now. I think it was because I was looking up “oh brother where art thou” stuff and this happened to pop up. If I hadn’t, I would never have known about this. That would have been a shame because this is a truly a hidden gem.
Make murder ballads great again.
working on it...
You never here "Hey Joe" on the radio anymore now that ya mention it..
Saggmo Young Edwin..
Look for the growlers little miss jack
Nine Bullets by Drive-By Truckers
it really makes me angry that people like this aren't famous.
If she were famous shed lose all her personality and be dead by 27. Be glad shes not.
Right it's the only thing that keeps their hair like hers and her voice like hers. She is natural and 100% fucking for real
I not sure they want to be.
@@lydia3317 I feel you on that sista
Everyone already said it but yeah. Music industry makes artists conform to its BS and kills everything we loved about the artist. Fame runs everything it touches.
Sierra has a maturity in her singing and delivery that is astounding. She knows exactly what she wants and how to get it.
i honestly think this is one of the most captivating voices i have ever heard
I love the way she gives a quick glance at the camera at the very end. Such flare.
I have never been big on country but this girl could convert me. Her talent is outstanding!! Wow, what a voice.
Absolutely love it. I'm not a big country or bluegrass music fan but this woman has talent oozing out of her. Her voice is irresistable.
Love her. So genuine and unique. She's a game changer in the music industry.
I don't even consider her country music it's almost like folk music combined. Powerful unique and absolutely awesome
"game changer in music industry"
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Timeless vocals right here. Sierra is my new favorite. This song is perfect from start to finish.
And sometimes... you find something, like Sierra Ferrell, and it makes you think maybe the world ISN'T a shit hole and maybe we AREN'T going to hell.
literally said, "Damn" as soon as I heard this.
me too
Damn. Shes beautiful. With a voice to match. Everytime she looks into the camera, sheesh. 🤤❤
ish
Way back on the mountain in our deeply forest hill where me and my true love we said I do
But nothing lasts forever in today’s world though it seems when there’s so much evil when there’s so much evil
When there’s a witch that is on your back makes it feel like the night will attack
You got a witch that is on your back makes me feel like a heart attack oh oh a heart attack
One day that rain it started and it never stopped no it never stopped but now I
Knew with just one glance that dam it couldn’t hold one more drop
I thought we would die together with your hand in mine your hand in mine
But you went back to Rosemary you went up on the hillside
Way back in the mountains where Rosemary she waits for you
Where Rosemary she waits for you
I thought that when I awoke that would be my last day yodelayoo
I thought when that river came it would carry me away
I’m alive so I went back in the mountains I went up on the hillside
I went to Rosemary’s where I’m killing both of you
So now I made me a garden and I dug it in the morning
But underneath that flower bush Rosemary waits for you well Rosemary waits for you
I killed that witch that was on my back
No more feel like the night will attack
I killed that witch that was on my back
Oh I feel like I can relax
Thy god can relax thy god can relax
I am looking for this lyrics for more than a year now and still don't know wtf is going on...
She wrote this?
its just "like i can relax" repeated at the end, but very good job! nice of you to put these lyrics here :))
What's that from?
Still has not gotten old. ... Always appreciating this ... Gardening .... 💚
what did you burry under the bushes 😉
She is beautiful, almost as much so as her voice. Amazing artist here, need more people like her
Love it. She’s absolutely great, I’d like to see a Tiny Desk session. 🤙🍻
ABC STEVE YESSSS!!!
It has a pinch of Billie Holiday in it, I love her voice its refreshing to hear something unique to this time.
Well at least 4 people know who Billie Holiday is
She really does I didn't realize it until you said it
Got halfway through and was thinking the same thing, had to look through the comments to see if anyone said it!
totally noticed that right off the hop
@@cosarimanediuncuorespezzat474 at least 5
I want sierra to sing my great grandmother’s music so so so badly…. She’s a folk music legend and I know sierra would absolutely do her best to show respect and love while bringing her music back to life. Also nothing would make me happier in this world than to hear sierra’s beautiful voice singing those songs… too bad I don’t know how to express this directly to her 😢
God's she's from another era......pure gold
This woman is something else...The sort of voice that could sing standards for hours & each one would be excellent.
What a timeless voice..her phrasing is what blows me away though. The right emphasis at the wrong time (untraditional vocal lines in the melody) sounds super genuine. Puts her own twist on that old sound.
but its an original song
I've listened to this at least 20 times today.. her voice is just so hypnotic and beautiful
“I made me a garden I dug it in the marnin” 🔥
Wow, that was amazing! She has an incredibly captivating energy, and that song was fun and creepy and boastful and evocative. I'm excited to see more from her!
She's one of a kind.
This version is so much better than her "official" version....
I agree with your comment, as well as your name.
@@michaelbrown1724 yes, there are a LOT of us! LOL
@@passatdreamm LOL you'd be surprised how many "Mike Brown's" are running around. There are many thousands of us! We are awaiting the right moment to rise up and take over the world!😅
This is one of the greatest recordings of all time
Sez a kid barely out of middle school...
@@cmerton that's a pretty creepy thing to know.
@@sam8404 Such a ridiculous statement could only come from a kid.
Spoke to her once on the phone and choked like a dumbie. Been covering this song for awhile for open mics and just adore her! What a sweetheart!
Yeah, we need more from this fantastic artist.
I'm sure she'd ramble back into town if this gets a bunch of love. Share it around!
My dad's side of the family came from hollers of Allen County, Kentucky. My great grandfather was a tobacco farmer and known to have a large knife collection and to be very proficient with them. Grandpa was 6ft7 which for 1900 was a giant. My great grandmother was 1/2 cherokee Indian and 4ft10. My grandfather had a favorite knife. The story goes that this man kept coming around my great grandmother and kept bothering her even after she told him she was with Grandpa. The man disappeared and so did my grandpa's knife. Those hollers in Allen County have claimed a lot of people the law wouldn't deal with. I idolized my grandpa and he was the man who got me interested in collecting and using knives. I also got my height from him.
I can imagine how easy it was in the early 20th century in Kentucky to take matters into your own hands when you were disrespected.
This song made me think about that story.
I live for these stories. Awesome
@@withelisa if I could reply with a photo I have one of Grandpa and Nee-Ma
I bet I could whoop your granpies ass.
JUST KIDDING " Grandpa carried an ole' bowie knife, in his overalls, he had a textbook copy of the constitution, and a pair a cast iron balls! "
Heard this when I went down a RUclips rabbit hole 2 years ago... never seemed to get out of that hole.
Such a haunting cadence to her vocal range.
Her voice is pure love. I'm so grateful for just finding her songs tonight for the first time. For once I'm at peace.

Whomever does the sound from these should do her albums. So much more alive
ROSEMARY
Way back on the mountain in
Our deeply forest hill
Where me and my true love, we said "I do"
But nothing lasts forever in today's
World though it seems
When there's so much evil,
When there's so much evil
When there's a witch that is on your back
Makes it feel like the night will attack
You've got a witch that is on your back
Makes me feel like a heart attack
Oh a heart attack
And one day that rain, it started
It never stopped, no it never stopped
I knew now with just one glance
That dam, it wouldn't hold one more drop
I thought we would die together
Your hand in mine, your hand in mine
But you went back to Rosemary
You went up on the hillside
Way back in the mountains
Where Rosemary, she waits for you
Where Rosemary, she waits for you
I thought that when I awoke
That would be my last day, yodelay-oo
I thought when that river came
It would carry me away
I'm alive, so I went back in the mountain
I went up on the hillside
I went to Rosemary's
Where I'm killing both of you
So I made me a garden
And I dug it in the morning
But underneath that flower bush
Rosemary waits for you
Well, Rosemary waits for you
I killed that witch that was on my back
No more feel like the night will attack
I killed the witch that was on my back
Now I feel like I can relax
Like I can relax
This song is so eloquent and masterfully put together. I can’t believe how Gems captures an artists spirt on video. Keep it up guys! Hopefully I can grace this channel in due time. Till then, I’ll continue to be a super fan.
I can’t stop listening. To her voice. Then her playing. Awesome stuff.
wow she has such a beautiful unique voice 💙💚🙌🙌
MaryJane In Wonderland no, heard it a thousand times
Holy fucking shit. I just fall completely and hopelessly in love with her every time I see or hear her. What an incredible talent.
Been years and I still cant get enough of this woman , favorite love song ...
BUY her tracks:
sierraferrell.bandcamp.com/
Is this version of the song for sale? The one in band camp is also nice but I fell in love with this one
Ñ
Thx Gems on VHS for your awesome work!
Buy her albums every track is amazing
I have want more to buy
We need this on spotify and apple music!! I keep coming back. So good.
The times I have listened to this !!!! Seriously! Enchantress!!!
I have listened to this 10 times a day since I stumbled upon it.... this is amazing
Excellent. What a voice.
You know most of the views is from having this on repeat beautiful song and talent 🖤
She absolutely shreds guitar and her voice is definition intoxicating
You were blessed with such a great gift of a voice. I feel lucky that you share it with us
Can't get enough of this..
Her voice reminds me of singers from the great depression. From the '20 up to the early '40s. She's a hell of a picker though.
Pokey LeFarge and Sierra.
Absolutely captivating!
Thank You!
This is mesmerizing and beautiful, can’t wait to hear more from her.
She has such an old timey voice. Love it
You know it's funny what a young man recollects? 'Cause I don't remember bein' born. I don't recall what I got for my first Christmas and I don't know when I went on my first outdoor picnic... But I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest voice in the wide world.
Best comment ever
Perfect Forrest.
Me too! Was Auckland New Zealand. She opened for Pokey lafarge on a solo gig. Both were amazing but she was absolutely enchanting.
Don’t worry Gals and Guy’s she is getting Bigger and Bigger every day, to the people that know their stuff, The Cream always Rises to the TOP , Sierra is a Real Troubadour with the Spirit of the Carter Family and Ronnie Lane Running through her even if she don’t know it . I’m So Happy that she is out there spreading the music of PURE AMERICANA 👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎸🌞⭐️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎸
utterly brilliant, a ballad, where the lyrics, the voice & the guitar, all tell a story so cleverly, brilliant!
She' playing on an old Gibson J45. Never heard of her, but a great voice and what a beautiful chick!
I cant believe there are no comments on the yodel at 2:17
I cannot stop listening to it. The way she jumps in and out of it is so good my brain cant hold it in
Chilling forreal
I know - yodeling!!!
I'm in love as soon as I heard her voice. Thank you gems. Get us more, a legit video of Irene would be sublime.
the world needs more of this! MAGICK!
Amazing voice 🤘🕺🏻 this is my kind of jam
You out here bringing back that Cab Calloway sound 🤘 great stuff
Sierra is an incredible singer/songwriter with such unique humility that is seldom found.All that know her love her deeply. A soulful performer with a gift from God. 🌺🌺🌺
Definitely a humble and fun soul. She's great.
Truly.
So happy to have stumble upon this channel and Sierra. So rad!
In tears and in love. Amazing. Old time - done right.
Can we get a Benjamin tod and sierra Ferrell collab video?
Bankster Of Lovee I said the same! Or colter wall
@@AmericanWhiteTrash oh the harmonies those three could pull off.
Can I get an amen
Put her and shakey together!
Honestly Matt Heckler and Sierra would slay it vocally
I love your voice. Keeps me trucking all day and night. There’s still outlaw drivers.
This young lady sings from her soul.
Absolutely breathtaking! More from Sierra please!!!!
This is incredible! Her voice has me speechless.
This is the best version of this song by far. God bless
I pretty much want to marry this woman
Doubt she's the marryin' type, just sayin'.
Uudillon mundy fruits go awesome man I used uy
Same 😂 jessica pratt too. Two wives will work.
yep as soon as she done that little yodel i fell in love
its a shame people make it about her looks. shes very attractive..but..shes also super talented..and she has that old time voice down.
Oh I just LOVE your music. Your voice is amazing and the guitar in sync is incredible. Nice!!
How did I miss this ....for soo long....and in soo much love....amazing
Gems on vhs is so awesome. I have found all of my now favorite music on here
hell yeah mate, stay tuned for more, subscribe and share! luv
I've fallen in love with her sound
Just pure talent need to have her in my music collection haven't herd a voice so beautiful in a long time 😊
I’ve been playing and singing my whole life. I appreciate your music. 🙏
Thus made me cry and then I shit my pants. Best day of my life
Wow, Thanks for bringing us this Gems. Such a Unique Sound, and from a One-off Beauty!
That's what we're here for. Thanks for watching!
omg.....how have I missed this?? Outstanding.
More than words can describe, love it, love her
just when i thought i couldnt feel anymore.
Oh my God that voice and the melody holy shit
This stuff is amazing.. I dunno how y'all have this creative writing potential and the musical and vocal talent to execute it. Just wonderful!
Amazing, one of the best, lyrics and rythme is thruely excellent!!!!
Like one person said in some comments.. I am now in love with this girl.. she is why people believed in sirens..
This is now my favorite song. The Judy Collins-esque vocalization combined with the dark lyrics and the beyond pro bluegrass playing has just killed me.
Amazing. The pure and raw talent. Blown away and cannot wait to see her in Santa Fe
This girl is bad ass no artist of today can even touch her .amazing
Listen to all theirs songs, they really should be more famous.

You got a witch that is on your back

One day that rain, it started
And it never stopped, no it never stopped but now

Absolutely adore her! ❤
How have I never heard her before 😍 her voice and sound is just absolutely captivating
