i'm 67 and been a music fan all my life but i've never heard anyone like shakey .its like i'm hearing guitar music for the very first time. i'm not smart enough to understand his style i just know its f___ing good
Richard Alvarado what is your problem? Music can be very inspirational and apparently it is for that person. don't hate on that person because they love it
Been watching this man pour out his soul since the views were in the hundreds, and now he has millions. So happy to know how many people have found and appreciate his music.
Pay attention to where this is performed and the narrative of the song, the very ill fitting timings, theres a lot going on here. Pretty dark stuff but very beautiful also. I've been a musician most of my life and ill say without doubt this man cannot be beat. He is everything, all at once, incredible.
Saw this dude live at the pheonix in Toronto in december 2014. Guy broke his fucking bottom guitar string. (not sure what it's called) and he just hummed the notes he was missing. Shit was epic as fuck. I don't fanboy over very many artists but this dude earned my attention. So I'm proud to be his fanboy!
@@jarrodsamons Most money comes from tapping into the lowest common denominator unfortunately. Shakey is an incredible exception to the norm, though not that rule. He never plays the same song really, but variations on the scaffold of sound and words that have a title. Every recording is worth listening to since there is no way you can expect it to be the same as another.
He really has brought something truly different to the table like no one has before him.... Its fluid its raw its innocent and has a distinct uniqueness that through all my 20 yrs as a folk player i have never seen... I tip my hat to you alejandro!!!! Much love brandon farrell
I love how original he is. Almost every time I hear him play one of his songs the kapo will be on a different fret and certain parts are just improvised. Been listening to him on repeat for like two days.
Fucking changed my life.. for real. You simply can't find many storytellers like this anymore.. his live shows never disappoint. Unlike some artists, his records just keep getting better, and better... and...... then better.
Shakey has easily transitioned into my favorite (all time) musician. I listen to him literally every single day, and have been doing so for over 4 year. He is an amazing musician, and I strive to be as clean as he is with his music. I was fortunate enough to watch him live in Eugene, OR, a couple years ago, and it was the best concert I've ever been to. Can't wait for him to return, because I will not miss an opportunity to watch him live. Thanks for your great work Shakey, and keep it up brother. You're spectacular.
I stumbled across this video bout 5 yrs ago...then I became obsessed with the musical madness that flows through ol Shakey!🎵 Happy I turned other people onto him...including my grandson ..sings every word, he's two!

Shakes Graves is a 21 century live born for RUclips artist. He is can only truly be experienced live you are meant to watch and feel him play his songs as much as you are supposed to listen to them. So many of his songs the best versions are all live jam sessions on RUclips the audiotree sessions are just one example, another is when he does pandora with Esme. He gives me hope for American folk.
I feel every self proclaimed artist should really appreciate such a raw form of a dying breed of music keep up the great music shakey much appreciated!
dirty, gritty, real. this is real country music, even if nobody wants to say it. granted there's no drinkin on a plane or patio boat or chick's in short shorts, or country singers with 100$ jeans with frosted hair but it's definitely definitely middle American country GOLD , love it love it love it !!
"Wanna be in my band?" "No." "Hey you, wanna be in my band?" "No." "Cool, don't need you guys anyways..." ..... turns out to be the most bad ass musical act on youtube.... This guy is the real deal.
What If I never hear a new version of this song again after this? One of the best parts of Shakey is that; NO song sung two times is the same the second time.
Having a hard time with med micro ATM & I'm frustrated as a mutha! This song came on, made me sit back and honestly kind of made my heart skip a beat, love Shakey. Thanks for helping me re-focus..
Wow, first time hearing this song. Beautiful He came to my hometown, somewhere in northern Ontario.. I only got to see the end of his show.. Roll the bones. Maybe one day, he will come back.
Was randomly in Austin for a random out of town work visit, driving 35 mph at 7am and heard an interview with Shakey and a music sample, instantly fell in love with the sound at 7am which is hard to do with a late riser. This is an unheard of jewel
Goddamn! Why on earth do this man's albums not sound like his live performances?! So many musicians cannot pull off live what they manage with the help of an expensive studio and all the "help" that comes with it - Shakey seems not to manage to convey the brilliance of his live playing in his albums somehow... Anyone know where I can get my hands on live recordings of his?
I've been putting his live stuff into a website that turns youtube videos into MP3 or whatever format you use. I edit the length and take out the talking and then the good stuff is mine. Google youtube into MP3.
@@sethwing9355 protip: February 9th is Shakey Graves Day in Austin. For one day, he puts a heap of live recordings up at pay-what-you-want prices on his Bandcamp page. Might help with your collection
Sebastian David Kraemer there's actually 3 different time signatures in this! The main song alternates between 7/4 (verse) and 5/4 (chorus), and then the outro goes into 4/4; quite impressive for a folk song
In the late 60s I went to a concert in Devinshire Downs in LA. I saw that the Saint Marie, Jimmy Hendrix call Janis Joplin. I actually Cantel size your tent. Listen to who she talk to and enjoyed some southern comfort with her. I will never forget the conversations we had and the memories of that night. Oh to go back there one more time.
I saw him live in Jackson, WY and wasn't big fan before then. I didn't think it was going to be all that exciting since a lot of his stuff I had heard was acoustic. I was wrong about the not exciting part..... One of the best live performances I've seen in a while :)
I'm a heterosexual man but I could kiss Shakey. Just grateful for this amazing music he's sharing with the world. It makes me feel blessed, just to hear it. That's real flipping music.
2nd son , in a large family , forgotten and ostracized, loving my people for them to hurt me and the women I love, loving them long past their departure. Trying to hold my people together and myself from a battered mindset. Wishing the woman I loved was here beside me. Taking strides to lead , but can’t seem to lead my mind out of this rut. Baby steps I suppose. Loving yourself is never easy people. It’s hard to forget the missteps with people , jumping the gun to attempt to reach for the life you’ve been praying for. Every day I’m reminded of the holes in my unlucky skin.
Shakey graves your a fucking genius and I love you bro for making awesome music on repeat and being probably the coolest dude in our whole damn generation best of luck to you bro

That's all one needs.
That's what it's all about, take the same 12 notes and make them sound new and interesting.
I can't get enough,it's moving and gives me the feeling that everything is in it's place.
Have you heard of Billy Strings? Or Tyler Childers?
If you like Shakey I’d highly recommend them as well 👍
That there is Texas music, sir.
I can't even do this. This is the kind of music where when I hear it I feel grateful to be alive just to hear it being played.
Richard Alvarado what is your problem? Music can be very inspirational and apparently it is for that person. don't hate on that person because they love it

How is she hating. Read closer.
michael kropp His response is to someone who had replied to her previously, but apparently deleted their comment. It isn't directed at her.
YES,!! I Say that he actually puts meaning "heart of Texas"...it just makes me thankful for people like him to b in this world
well said i totally got chills hearing him
Been watching this man pour out his soul since the views were in the hundreds, and now he has millions. So happy to know how many people have found and appreciate his music.
Same I saw him live in 2021 or 22 and I cried for the first half hour of the show his music is so full of emotion 😂 he's also super nice

I've been a musician most of my life and ill say without doubt this man cannot be beat. He is everything, all at once, incredible.
A musician? Just cause you know good music doesn't mean you can play it.
Doesn't technically mean he can't play it either I'm just saying because I don't think he gave that info whether he can or cannot play.
@@bluntmehcaml down 🤩
I see the point . A man of 70 has been showing me the way . The devil doesn't hold me so tightly now .
None of the timing is ill-fitting.

Jonah Boyer it's the E string by the way. That's an awesome story!!
High E string to be exact
Jonah Boyer fuck yessssssss. That's dope
Jonah Boyer talent is hard to mass produce when you lack drones.This talent will never hear radio play.

You could say he brought it to the stable this time
He's just carrying in a tradition that was extremely common in the early 1900's within the hobo culture of the era.
I love how original he is. Almost every time I hear him play one of his songs the kapo will be on a different fret and certain parts are just improvised. Been listening to him on repeat for like two days.
Fucking same
literally same 😍😍😍
been listening to him on repeat for several weeks. can't get enough

Tim Hurst your right there's none of that stuff and better for it!
This isn't country
Alek Martell I like to call it Americana.
He has played some old blues songs and they sound so different but still freaking awesome, it's very bluesy to me
Thank you. This is fucking bluegrass at most. The proper term, I believe, is 'new age folk'.@@yungwitch9325
Man... I just love him!!
Got tear rushing to my eye..dont even know why!!! Brilliant artist
Thank you, Shakey Graves, for making such amazingly hypnotizing, beautifully sweet, ineffable music--as always. You're the best!

I’m in love with the added cicadas singing in the background.

He live and breathes it - no that man IS music!
A true fan of yours Shakey Graves. Unique and talented. Looking forward to witnessing your progression.
What If I never hear a new version of this song again after this? One of the best parts of Shakey is that; NO song sung two times is the same the second time.
When is you tube gonna add a love button? BECAUSE just "liking" this isn't good enough. I love you, Shakey Graves. 😘❤
Dude has more talent in his pinky than 90% of artists these days. Truly Unbelievable. Can't wrap my mind around the hate this receives.
he makes me proud to be an American when not much else these days does.
funny cuz he's mexican
Yes, Mexican descent but born in Austin, Texas. His music is a cross between blues, folk and rock and roll. That's what makes America great.
Andrea Ebbert make America shakey again
Andrew Kell He's American
If being an american alone isnt enough, then you probably weren't a real one in the first place.
Such a great version of this song
This is the stuff every one wants to hear.
I miss this shakey ....hope he returns
Sweet Jesus! Thank you for my hearing...thank you! Thank you for my eyes....I am blessed!

Jerry Garcia repeatedly said hard as they tried they could not get the live sound or feel in the studio.
I could never be more in love with a voice and style than this. It is the 2000s dylan

One week till I get to experience this live..........cant wait!!!!
Every song. Just fucks me up

Just discovered this guy. Amazing talent. Great style too.
Shakey graves is the greatest bluesman of our time
Waited long and hard for "when the war came" to finally get to hear "If not for you".. it was well worth the wait! (4 years)
Absolutely breathtaking.

Kara Uys mine is too;-; he just gazes at him
Just sayin' ladies, I'm loyal *and* single 😎😘

his sex appeal nos no bounds i'm a guy but i could be versitile
