I sure hope so. So underrated he is. I love every bit of his music. You have no idea how happy I was when he showed up in my shit with GEMS next to it!
Damn, I could listen to John R Miller all day... and have. I was lucky enough to grow up in WV and got to listen to him play in The Fox Hunt. Definitely check them out.
GemsOnVHS you have found a way to find and present true talent that all the money in Nashville could never touch. Thank you so much for the work you do.
I am so grateful for this channel. You guys expose me to nothing but quality artist. The funny thing is, though, is before I picked up on this channel I didn't really like country music outside of a few exceptions. The artists you all share, though, are deeply rooted in the spirit of classic country, and it's a breathe of fresh air compared to modern country.
I can second all of the above. Anthony I just hope you keep doing what you do man maybe one day I can get out of this slump I'm in to help support it. Just a million thanks till then I guess.
Thank you for featuring John. I have been following him the last couple years. Amazing writer and a welcoming voice. I don’t think he has a song I don’t like. Go buy this mans music! He also sang in a band called Prison Book Club if you can’t get enough.
This song is so flawlessly written...puts me a little in mind of the old Shel Silverstein song "Queen of the Silver Dollar". I fall in love with the lady with the broken halo every time I listen lol. I'm hoping to get to see Mr Miller later this month in Huntington, WV. So awesome to see him playing at Red Rocks with Tyler Childers. Representing our little corner of Appalachia and making us proud.
I will have to say, if it wasn’t for COVID I don’t I would’ve found out about this glorious channel. Gotta look for the positives in the negatives and I found it
This makes me rethink songwriting. It’s funny the joke at the end cause I was like sounds like prine and Lenard Cohen could have written this. This man is a genius.
Awesome video! I think it was me on that video of him playing stand up bass that recommended you look into John R Miller, so thank you for making it happen!
[Verse 1] She grew up too fast in the moonlight Taught herself all that she knew Nobody knew what she looked like When she took off her dancin' shoes There were men who woulda loved to mistreat her Were a few to whom she gave the chance But she'll never take a ring on her finger All she ever loved was the dance [Chorus] And it's back and forth in two-stеps and waltzes Draggin' her heart bеhind through all the songs If anyone knew the pain she'd been hidin' They'd never think she was doin' wrong There are a few who claim she's just an angel Wearin' a clever disguise And if you could see past her old broken halo She might take your hand for the night [Verse 2] Don't ask her too many questions She'll talk if she wants you to know And don't bother tryin' to get her number In the mornin', she likes to lay low But if you're lucky enough just to witness The way she moves over the floor You might see that she ain't of this world Might see somethin' you can't ignore [Chorus] And it's back and forth in two-steps and waltzes Draggin' her heart behind through all the songs If anyone knew the pain she'd been hidin' They'd never think she was doin' wrong There are a few who claim she's just an angel Wearin' a clever disguise And if you could see past her old broken halo She might take your hand for the night [Outro] There were men who would've loved to mistreat her There were a few to whom she gave the chance But she'll never take a ring on her finger All she ever loved was the dance
Ok Anthony i gotta know.... do u have some kinda super power that just finds incredible "unknown" artists like this or do u just somehow end up in the right place at the right time lol Im not even a fan of this type of music but every single artist u show us i end up loving smh crazy lol keep em coming brother i cant wait for the next "unknown"
Was it John r Miller playing the bass on pat reedy and the longtime goners make it back home video p.s I think your videos and audio quality is brilliant sounds better than the album versions
Would love to know how you guys record these videos! The quality not only in the artists are amazing, but these field recordings are recorded impeccably!

add us on instagram @gemsonvhs, and add John R Miller too, @jrmillerwv
John R. Miller is going to go down as one of the greatest writers of all time.
He should
I sure hope so. So underrated he is. I love every bit of his music. You have no idea how happy I was when he showed up in my shit with GEMS next to it!
I always tell people he is the greatest song writer you've never heard of. Sad and true. I'll spread the word whenever I can though.
I'll second that
My 2 and a half year old son asks me to sing this to him at bedtime. I feel successful as a father.
reminds me of the good old days, where people could come together in music halls and there were toilet paper in the stores......
Been too long since gettn out of your house was considered a crime.
I feel you man. Shitty times
Ya right
Just move to sweden, almost everything is normal here 🤷♀️
@@sandragunnarsdottir6152 Sweden isn't even real
Great performance. Big sound for two people.Authentic,timeless playing and vocals - would go well as a movie soundtrack.
Damn, I could listen to John R Miller all day... and have. I was lucky enough to grow up in WV and got to listen to him play in The Fox Hunt. Definitely check them out.
Her voice adds something special! Great duo! Keep folking around!
Would you ever do a video showing your recording setup? That would be gold, as the quality in your videos is always superb, both audio and video.

[Verse 1]
She grew up too fast in the moonlight
Taught herself all that she knew
Nobody knew what she looked like
When she took off her dancin' shoes
There were men who woulda loved to mistreat her
Were a few to whom she gave the chance
But she'll never take a ring on her finger
All she ever loved was the dance
[Chorus]
And it's back and forth in two-stеps and waltzes
Draggin' her heart bеhind through all the songs
If anyone knew the pain she'd been hidin'
They'd never think she was doin' wrong
There are a few who claim she's just an angel
Wearin' a clever disguise
And if you could see past her old broken halo
She might take your hand for the night
[Verse 2]
Don't ask her too many questions
She'll talk if she wants you to know
And don't bother tryin' to get her number
In the mornin', she likes to lay low
But if you're lucky enough just to witness
The way she moves over the floor
You might see that she ain't of this world
Might see somethin' you can't ignore
[Chorus]
And it's back and forth in two-steps and waltzes
Draggin' her heart behind through all the songs
If anyone knew the pain she'd been hidin'
They'd never think she was doin' wrong
There are a few who claim she's just an angel
Wearin' a clever disguise
And if you could see past her old broken halo
She might take your hand for the night
[Outro]
There were men who would've loved to mistreat her
There were a few to whom she gave the chance
But she'll never take a ring on her finger
All she ever loved was the dance
Ok Anthony i gotta know.... do u have some kinda super power that just finds incredible "unknown" artists like this or do u just somehow end up in the right place at the right time lol Im not even a fan of this type of music but every single artist u show us i end up loving smh crazy lol keep em coming brother i cant wait for the next "unknown"
This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson
Dam that's good stuff love it reminds me of shooter Jennings alot
LOVE YOU JOHN AND CHLOE❤️❤️❤️
Love this
oh yeah, that's my favorite John R. Miller song!
Two people must have thumb dyslexia?! John and Chloe are amazing!!!!!
Was it John r Miller playing the bass on pat reedy and the longtime goners make it back home video p.s I think your videos and audio quality is brilliant sounds better than the album versions
yup. thanks bud
It's a shame that John Prine and Guy Clark aren't around to record this song.
Would love to know how you guys record these videos! The quality not only in the artists are amazing, but these field recordings are recorded impeccably!
I sense some Prime lyrics/melodies bouncing around in his brain.
John Prine lives on!
❤❤❤❤❤
This guy, that gal 💙
Gettin some Jerry Jeff vibes ❤️
tough humbling song right there i tell ya.
Fucking beautiful!
Damn good
Pure
❤
Fucking killer song brotha.gained a fan for sure
The fiddler's voice is perfect! what's her name?
Chloe Edmonstone. She is a top notch human. Check out her band Locust Honey too :)
Is that a young Sierra Ferrell on the fiddle?!
Real real good
West Virginia all the way!
Wow!
Just what the doctor ordered!
Who the fuck is disliking this?! In these times?!
Does anyone have lyrics?? I'm HOH and although his twang is awesome I can't make out some words. RUclips's subtitles are a joke.

@@kamiem71 Thank you!!!
Im out of toilet paper
Unlike the rest.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤠
Anyone else think he looks a bit like Charles Manson?
Damn
Familiar melody? Tune? John Prine: Bruised Orange(Chain of Sorrow).
👏👏🙏🙏💖💖
