He is amazing live. Last time I saw him..He played so hard his fingers literally bled..well..His thumb anyway. Awesome guy too. And so funny. I love his sense of humor.
You know WHAT?? Watching and listening to you dude, makes me HAPPY!!!!! Makes my FEET happy!!!! And my shoulders bob and roll about. . .with a big squirmy, stupid ol smile on my face! And I'm tellin ya this, there's just NOTHIN better than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like Late July and Word of Mouth by the storm drain. Dearly Departed on the John Lennon Bus, and The Waters live at the Good Music Club the most I think
And every once in a while somebody comes along and sings somgs that pour out your heart and soul.its then that evrything will be alright again.amazing gods grace comes just in time for some of us born to live a hard life...
I found this collection of videos about a year and a half ago. immediately fell in love. I wish there was a better way to express how much I adore these videos that goes beyond simply liking them
There was LIFE here once. Damn that is Earth shakingly visceral. I'm not being anything but devastated right now. Pain so overcome and horrific to be it put upon yet proudly full of Mpathy and rage.
Well I see a girl, that's blue like the sea; When I go to sleep, you know that she sees me too. Yeah just standin' around like the popular kids, Hopin' Saint Peter will let 'er sin too. Well 'e says if you value your life, stay off the drugs. If you value the drugs, stay off the map. If you value them maps, you better travel some, And if you don't wanna travel, then you better run yeah. Yeah well I knew a king, in his purple throne, Though he had some trouble, so he's all alone now. Well I used to bring him little presents oh from time to time He'd sit me in his castle, and he'd pick my mind He said if you value your heart, well stay on the road. If you value the road, oh stay on the top. If you value the top, oh you're gonna suffer son, And if you don't wanna suffer, then you better run, oh Yeah well I seen my boos in his practical suit, Gonna toss him in the cellar; won't-a give him no food. Yeah you know and anybody tries oh to tell him what to do, He holds his breath until he turns blue. Yeah he says if you value your job, stay outta crime. If you value the crime, stay outta doors. If you value them doors, then you better lock 'em son, And if you don't wanna lock 'em, oh you better buy a gun, yeah Yeah well I saw a snake in an apple tree, And no I didn't trust a word that he hissed to me, NO Yeah he said it must be gettin' awful lonely tryin' to save the world, Just buy a collared shirt, and try to fuck some girls. Oh he said if you value your limbs, stay in the game. If you value the game, stay in that style. If you value that style, you're sinkin' son, And if you don't wanna sink, then you better run, Yeah you better run, yeah Yeah oh you better run Yeah mmmm **Couple of oo's and oh's and mm's and yeah's missing, but I feel the main words are correct here.
Damn. I love his music. Beautifully expressed and so powerful, brings back such joyful memories, nice to be able to somewhat relive a feeling from the past
I just saw him yesterday in Connecticut, he was amazing live, and such a sweet guy. Also, in my opinion he is a pretty awesome guitarist, atleast when playing yesterday he gave me goose bumps! I recommend going to one of his free concerts before judging him too harshly xD
if anyone wants recommendations on his songs i suggest coat of arms, wild card (stetson version), call it heaven (sun king version), pansy waltz, hard wired (stetson version), the perfect parts (riverview bungalow version), the waters (double j version), the many man, (airstream trailer version), tommorow (airstream trailer version, all the audiotree lives, dearly departed (sun king studio version), if not for you (on the boat), and family and genus. happy shakey listening
Bruh. Well he says - if you value your life , stay off the drugs, if you value the drugs stay off the map. If value the maps TRAVEL. sheeeh. 10/10 music. Gotta be through it or seen it. This is 100/100 productions and music
Shakey graves. Honestly my favourite music artist iv ever heard, listen to you nearly every day. Mc escher of music absolute genius. You put me in an absolute great mood daily ✨️ 💕 😌 💛
Absolutely no offense to Shakey, here. But I think his audiotree session sounds better that his albums! He sounds so much better doing all this on his own! He's so talented. His voice and instrumental method here is perfection.
very difficult to play drums like that while playing guitar and singing. very, very tough. I would say, unless you've seen this guy live, better not to criticize. I. for one, tend to like his songs
I love the way he has themes in a bunch of songs that he uses all over the place. There's certain riffs he'll play from one song and stick it in another. This one has a bunch and I LOVE IT.
"Ooooooh, oooh- ooooooh. Ooooo-ooooooh!" i think this might be the official lyric defining quite a percentage of Shaky Songs. Now. Why didn't anybody tell us bliss was this simple?❤🎉
why? that's great for an alternative artist like this As he gets more exposure in the next year it will grow significantly I love his music but it does weigh on people as to how it tends to repeat itself thematically a great studio record..which they now have ..will blow this artist up
***** I'm totally right behind you. I found this guy around two years ago, and I still come back to listen. (Aug. of 2013 before anyone says anything, so more like a little over a year).
I'm from the UK and never heard of this guy before I stumbled across him on RUclips, now a few weeks and views later he is a absolute favourite of mine, what a special artist, some people just don't get the recognition they deserve over the pond here, does he have an album I can buy? I'd love to have a copy
My nephew tasked me at Thanksgiving to check out Shakey Graves. Have now done so...and...am stunned! Somebody convince me this young lad doesn't have an old musical soul....much older than he is in years. From what I've seen/heard he prefers and thrives with his old suitcase and tambourine vs a modern digital studio and the temptation to change his tunes into electro--pop top 40....so he can be 'cool'! He be cool?
Geeze, dude. I can barely play "Twinkle, Twinkle, Litter Star" on the piano and sing at the same time. (also, can't believe I'm just now discovering this incredible talent of a human being. Each word gives me chills. Great work man.)
I see a girl that's blue like the sea When I go to sleep you know that she sees me too Standing around like the popular kids Hoping Saint Peter will let us in to He says if you value your life stay off the drugs If you value the drugs stay off the map If you value maps you better travel son If you don't want to travel than you better run I knew a king in his purple throne He had some trouble so he's all alone now Oh I used to bring him little presents from time to time He'd sit me in his castle and he'd pick my mind He said if you value your heart stay on the road If you value the road stay on the top If you value the top you're gonna suffer son If you don't want to suffer then you better run Well I see my boss in his practical suit I'll toss him in the cellar won't give him no food When anybody tries to tell him what to Do he holds his breath until he turns blue He says if you value your job stay out of crime If you value the crime stay out of doors If you value them doors you better lock em son If you dont want to lock em you better buy a gun So finally I saw a snake in an apple tree You know I didn't trust a word that he hissed to me He said it must be gettin awful lonely tryin' to save the world Just buy a collared shirt and try and fuck some girls He says if you value your limbs stay in the game If you value the game stay in the style If you value that style you're a sinkin sun If you don't want to sink then you better run
Hi my name's Skillet I did an EP with Thug Emporium years ago starvin like Marvin featuring Skillet I just heard Kaleo for the first time yesterday and then Shakey Graves today i write a lot of music and sing but I'm in Pure Heaven thank you Lord for sending me Kaleo and Shakey Graves they both should do a song ❤ HEART SOME SCARS. IT'S MY BDAY CAKE WEEK. Peeps 💋
The lyrics! "If you value your life, stay off drugs. If you value the drugs, stay off the maps. If you value the maps, you better travel son. And if you don't wanna travel then you're better alone."
Every song I listen to becomes my hands down absolutely favorite song....till I hear his next song then that is my absolutely hands down favorite song...then I hear his next song.......
I don't understand why this isn't huge. His lyrics are genius. This guy makes for example John Mayer look like the bubblegum bullshit he is. Shakey Graves is soul satisfying music.
skole03 haha John Mayer is bubblegum bullshit compared to folk, folk is only great because it will always be strongest in the most quiet recesses of the music world
Totally different artists. John Mayer is extremely talented, started with blues and over time his music became what it is now. Kind of similar to how Shakey is progressing. It's evident with his latest album that his music is altering to please a wider variety of audience. His roots will always be THIS kind of music, but don't be surprised when Shakey starts making more mainstream music to further his career.
This audio tree set is the most brilliant display of raw talent in consecutive performances that I've seen
Shea Sylvester try Asaf Avidan - bang bang ( in a Box ) 👍🏼
Righteousness
Joe Bonamassa live at the Greek is pretty wild, really any of his live performances.
Yes, just incredible!
Facts
10 years later, if you're watching, you're a legend.
10 years now haha
Still watching
Sweet
Yes man he's always good to come back to
I already knew that.
very few people have this level of mastery of a style.
when compared to the rest of the world deffs by a mile, when compared to the fingers on your hand, nah
Listened to this song through my entire pregnancy. Wanted my son to know this wisdom. He's 8 now. ❤❤❤
He is amazing live. Last time I saw him..He played so hard his fingers literally bled..well..His thumb anyway. Awesome guy too. And so funny. I love his sense of humor.
He looks like thats how he would be. I mean he is a one man band. I always come back to listen to this even 2019
Just saw him live last night, his whole set was better than anything I've seen recorded, amazing experience
It reminds me how old that fucking rooster is.
You know WHAT?? Watching and listening to you dude, makes me HAPPY!!!!! Makes my FEET happy!!!! And my shoulders bob and roll about. . .with a big squirmy, stupid ol smile on my face! And I'm tellin ya this, there's just NOTHIN better than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This comment makes me happy. So damn true. Exactly what I was doing haha.
Exactly, and beautifully done bra. Thanks for sharing, all, ad responding.
Rabbit Hole or op
Same here 🖐️
Rabbit Hole exactly!!! Lol
I saw a snake in an apple tree and I didn't trust a word that he hissed to me. Awesome.
He said it must be gettin' awful lonely tryin' to save the world, Just buy a collared shirt and try and fuck some girls.... solid gold
100 :D
my two favorite parts tooo
Got to love it.. he's one of the best.. you know shovels and rope.. ? Check them out ..
I read this as he sang it. Talk about timing
Been listening to this guy for years..... and in 2024, I still keep coming back to him over and over!! Nobody else like him!!!
Literally just discovered him. Im off on my journey! See yall on the flip side.
I'd recommend seeing him live. Amazing performer
Hows the journey?
Really like how unique his live performances are. I have favorite performances of my favorite songs.
What r they?
A favorite of mine is his performance of the waters on musical chairs
I like Late July and Word of Mouth by the storm drain. Dearly Departed on the John Lennon Bus, and The Waters live at the Good Music Club the most I think
I like the sidewalk with Beats.
Good. It's agreed upon then. I am excellent at fluffing you while you gargle with herbs and artesian water. Your voice is a national treasure indeed.
God damn this man is easily one of the most expressive musicians I've ever had the honor of listening to. What a wonderful soul.
I love the colour of his voice so much! ❤
this is the best song i've ever heard
William I try not to label anything the best but I understand where you’re coming from.
😅❤️
Shut up
@@aaronbrock9480Friend-Ohs, it's youse.
2021 what a fucking discovery! Amazing. When you think there is no music to surprise you anymore try Shakey Graves
got to see him live when he opened for city and colour, his performance was mind blowingly good
saw him in PG the day after his birthday on that tour. I hope he comes back to our dirt hole.
I was at PG too. He better come back and do a full show
Ben Smith omg, I wish I could see him open for City and Colour. I finally saw Dallas Green last month.
I'm jealous! Bet that was an incredible show :-) Good on ya!
Same, in Kelowna last year. Brilliant musician
he's so beautiful. seeing him live was literally magical.
And every once in a while somebody comes along and sings somgs that pour out your heart and soul.its then that evrything will be alright again.amazing gods grace comes just in time for some of us born to live a hard life...
This whole performance is washing my soul. What a true hidden gem on RUclips!
This is a masterpiece, the beats are killer & oh so fitting with the lyrics. Nice❤
I found this collection of videos about a year and a half ago. immediately fell in love. I wish there was a better way to express how much I adore these videos that goes beyond simply liking them
I can't get over how amazing this is. Really. I don't think any other person could produce this sound
HuggOs
when he says "won't give him no food" MY GOD!! had to replay it.
Mary Cabrera a million times.. Sexiest man EVER!! I have tickets to see him next week :-) :-)
jmantonya oh god you are sooooooo lucky!!! how was it?!
AMAZING
3:15 i hear you
So this is the most crazy amazing thing I've seen. I have not loved a song so fully and instantaneously in a very long time. Thank you.
There was LIFE here once. Damn that is Earth shakingly visceral. I'm not being anything but devastated right now. Pain so overcome and horrific to be it put upon yet proudly full of Mpathy and rage.
This guy is really good at multitasking....
This guys just off the charts.Never scene heard so much talent.A true you tube treasure.
Well I see a girl, that's blue like the sea;
When I go to sleep, you know that she sees me too.
Yeah just standin' around like the popular kids,
Hopin' Saint Peter will let 'er sin too.
Well 'e says if you value your life, stay off the drugs.
If you value the drugs, stay off the map.
If you value them maps, you better travel some,
And if you don't wanna travel, then you better run yeah.
Yeah well I knew a king, in his purple throne,
Though he had some trouble, so he's all alone now.
Well I used to bring him little presents oh from time to time
He'd sit me in his castle, and he'd pick my mind
He said if you value your heart, well stay on the road.
If you value the road, oh stay on the top.
If you value the top, oh you're gonna suffer son,
And if you don't wanna suffer, then you better run, oh
Yeah well I seen my boos in his practical suit,
Gonna toss him in the cellar; won't-a give him no food.
Yeah you know and anybody tries oh to tell him what to do,
He holds his breath until he turns blue.
Yeah he says if you value your job, stay outta crime.
If you value the crime, stay outta doors.
If you value them doors, then you better lock 'em son,
And if you don't wanna lock 'em, oh you better buy a gun, yeah
Yeah well I saw a snake in an apple tree,
And no I didn't trust a word that he hissed to me, NO
Yeah he said it must be gettin' awful lonely tryin' to save the world,
Just buy a collared shirt, and try to fuck some girls.
Oh he said if you value your limbs, stay in the game.
If you value the game, stay in that style.
If you value that style, you're sinkin' son,
And if you don't wanna sink, then you better run,
Yeah you better run, yeah
Yeah oh you better run
Yeah mmmm
**Couple of oo's and oh's and mm's and yeah's missing, but I feel the main words are correct here.
Minor correction, but I think it's "Hopin St Peter will let us in too" as in into the gates of heaven.
Ty
I think its wanna give him no food
Hoping st peter will let us* in* too lmao
You always find a way to bring a smile to my face and a tear to my eye. Thanks Shakey
Absolutely in love. My soul leaps every time I run across one of his songs! May he stay in this business until the sun turns cold.
Some of the better uses of dynamics I've ever seen. Genius.

Damn. I love his music. Beautifully expressed and so powerful, brings back such joyful memories, nice to be able to somewhat relive a feeling from the past
where has this guy been all my life this music is so great
People like this need to be cherished and valued
I just saw him yesterday in Connecticut, he was amazing live, and such a sweet guy. Also, in my opinion he is a pretty awesome guitarist, atleast when playing yesterday he gave me goose bumps! I recommend going to one of his free concerts before judging him too harshly xD
As an amateur musician this is what i aspire to. He is amazing!
I'll come back here everyday, if just for a split second, but just to hear his magic.
Simon Alexander
Are you here today?
But? ... The song is over six minutes long Simon. Surely your schedule can't be that busy?
Liar
Simon where the fuck are you?
Hello
if anyone wants recommendations on his songs i suggest coat of arms, wild card (stetson version), call it heaven (sun king version), pansy waltz, hard wired (stetson version), the perfect parts (riverview bungalow version), the waters (double j version), the many man, (airstream trailer version), tommorow (airstream trailer version, all the audiotree lives, dearly departed (sun king studio version), if not for you (on the boat), and family and genus. happy shakey listening
Many men acoustic badassery version and kexp pickathon version which i tabbed out
Dot
You missed Roll the Bones (Good Music Club version.)
Where a boy once stood (KEXP)
I can't get enough of this video and song. So well shot and such a great musician.
Pair an incredible musician with incredible filmmakers and MAGIC IS MADE
I so wish that this song was on I-tunes to download...I love it!
Kim Kaslow You can purchase the entire 5 track Audiotree Live session here: audiotree.tv/session/shakey-graves/
Audiotreetv Thank you for letting me know!! I really love the songs from this session. I was sorry to miss him when he was in Maine last fall.
Kim Kaslow He came to maine?! ugh I totally missed that!
***** Yes....last fall at the Portland State Theater. I was bummed that I missed seeing him.
+Kim Kaslow you can also buy, I think, a couple of different versions that he's recorded from bandcamp
Requesting for Shakey Graves and Tyler Childers to do a song together repost this if you think they should.
That would make this year so much better.
He's sooo talented. Love his voice, lyrics, music. And yes He's very attractive.
Bruh. Well he says - if you value your life , stay off the drugs, if you value the drugs stay off the map. If value the maps TRAVEL. sheeeh. 10/10 music. Gotta be through it or seen it. This is 100/100 productions and music
To be able to do all that at once is insane and you sir are insanely talented!
Shakey graves. Honestly my favourite music artist iv ever heard, listen to you nearly every day. Mc escher of music absolute genius. You put me in an absolute great mood daily ✨️ 💕 😌 💛
He's too good to be on spotify. He's doing this is old school style. I respect him 100x more for that.
This hit diff wen u stumbled and u jam. Three years later diff circumstances,still touches my soul thank sir Shakey
Wow! What an awesome performance! Thank you!
Absolutely no offense to Shakey, here. But I think his audiotree session sounds better that his albums! He sounds so much better doing all this on his own! He's so talented. His voice and instrumental method here is perfection.
this performance gave me shivers, i'm so in love
It's beautiful to see unique artists being able to express themselves... leave us to our own devices
6minutes 34seconds of pure bliss. AMAZING
Can't believe I've just found this guy can't stop listening to him what a guy
very difficult to play drums like that while playing guitar and singing. very, very tough. I would say, unless you've seen this guy live, better not to criticize. I. for one, tend to like his songs
I love the way he has themes in a bunch of songs that he uses all over the place. There's certain riffs he'll play from one song and stick it in another. This one has a bunch and I LOVE IT.
Me too! Is this your favorite song of him?
he is absolutely beautiful and his potential is absolutely stunning!
For me 2013 was a good year and this performance was a big part of the soundtrack
Loving this vibe! Like an old motown classic mixed with Joshua James.
who?
when?
TheLonesomeKiwi
Right?
Found this 4 yrs ago and still listening yet ❤
I hate a lot of mainstream...but this dude needs to be mainstream already. So so talented.
Man, what is there to say, you are up there with the greats, your songs will be with me for the rest of my life
thank you so much for your music shakey
"Ooooooh, oooh- ooooooh. Ooooo-ooooooh!"
i think this might be the official lyric defining quite a percentage of Shaky Songs.
Now. Why didn't anybody tell us bliss was this simple?❤🎉
Real musicians forget the words and make it work just as well. Way to go.
Shakey Graves!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! Just wanted to say thank-you for singing me to sleep every night!! :) You're truely a talented artist ...
only 542,307 views? seriously???? for a year and a half!? WTF!!!!
yep.. should be way more.
I have to admit... I've viewed my fair share, And even showed this to all my friends.
why?
that's great for an alternative artist like this
As he gets more exposure in the next year it will grow significantly
I love his music but it does weigh on people as to how it tends to repeat itself thematically
a great studio record..which they now have ..will blow this artist up
I guess the word of mouth for the song didn't get around. BAM joke
***** I'm totally right behind you. I found this guy around two years ago, and I still come back to listen. (Aug. of 2013 before anyone says anything, so more like a little over a year).
Chills. No words could even begin describe the privilege of hearing this man's gift & what he awakens inside of me.
Chills.
I'm pretty sure each one of his ankles has a brain.
this guy is a fucking octopus!! lol
???
actually brain is in you're head, not ankles or legs :)
^
This person knows yo.
r/whooosh
all his songs seem to have the same format in one way or another. I still can't get enough. What a beautiful song.
I'm from the UK and never heard of this guy before I stumbled across him on RUclips, now a few weeks and views later he is a absolute favourite of mine, what a special artist, some people just don't get the recognition they deserve over the pond here, does he have an album I can buy? I'd love to have a copy
Callum Harrison he has about 4 full lengths and quite a few live albums they're all mostly on RUclips some you can pick up in February on shakey day
koty boi, thanks man I've found a couple of them on RUclips, il readily await February to come round.
Just heard of you today. Trying to listen to as many songs of yours I can, so far I like what I hear.
you are possibly my new favorite singer
I’m glad I found his music!! I feel it all to well‼️💯🖤
i'm literally pissing myself waiting for his new project, whatever it may be
My nephew tasked me at Thanksgiving to check out Shakey Graves. Have now done so...and...am stunned! Somebody convince me this young lad doesn't have an old musical soul....much older than he is in years. From what I've seen/heard he prefers and thrives with his old suitcase and tambourine vs a modern digital studio and the temptation to change his tunes into electro--pop top 40....so he can be 'cool'! He be cool?
Absolutely amazing o_O very talented
Geeze, dude. I can barely play "Twinkle, Twinkle, Litter Star" on the piano and sing at the same time.
(also, can't believe I'm just now discovering this incredible talent of a human being. Each word gives me chills. Great work man.)
What a precious human.
A new favourite. Lyrics, performance, and music are all too good ❤️
I see a girl that's blue like the sea
When I go to sleep you know that she sees me too
Standing around like the popular kids
Hoping Saint Peter will let us in to
He says if you value your life stay off the drugs
If you value the drugs stay off the map
If you value maps you better travel son
If you don't want to travel than you better run
I knew a king in his purple throne
He had some trouble so he's all alone now
Oh I used to bring him little presents from time to time
He'd sit me in his castle and he'd pick my mind
He said if you value your heart stay on the road
If you value the road stay on the top
If you value the top you're gonna suffer son
If you don't want to suffer then you better run
Well I see my boss in his practical suit
I'll toss him in the cellar won't give him no food
When anybody tries to tell him what to
Do he holds his breath until he turns blue
He says if you value your job stay out of crime
If you value the crime stay out of doors
If you value them doors you better lock em son
If you dont want to lock em you better buy a gun
So finally I saw a snake in an apple tree
You know I didn't trust a word that he hissed to me
He said it must be gettin awful lonely tryin' to save the world
Just buy a collared shirt and try and fuck some girls
He says if you value your limbs stay in the game
If you value the game stay in the style
If you value that style you're a sinkin sun
If you don't want to sink then you better run
Shakey Graves is his music, his music is Shakey Graves! This man is not merely a virtuoso, he is an icon, a god!
I'm actually so mad at my friend for showing me your music cause I can't find your album. I need an album I need more Shakey!!!
Shakey Graves bandcamp
i've only discovered him like a week ago and i'm inlove jesus this man is killing me
I am in love..seriously. I need more.
My son introduced me to this young singer. Totally love him and his music
Who's still here 2024 ❤
I am in love! Each song is better than the last!
Awesome. Come to Vancouver Island if you can. I'd like to try to help make that happen.
Hi my name's Skillet I did an EP with Thug Emporium years ago starvin like Marvin featuring Skillet I just heard Kaleo for the first time yesterday and then Shakey Graves today i write a lot of music and sing but I'm in Pure Heaven thank you Lord for sending me Kaleo and Shakey Graves they both should do a song ❤ HEART SOME SCARS. IT'S MY BDAY CAKE WEEK. Peeps 💋
The lyrics! "If you value your life, stay off drugs. If you value the drugs, stay off the maps. If you value the maps, you better travel son. And if you don't wanna travel then you're better alone."
"Then you'd better run." It's the reoccurring theme in the song.
MorganTaysha Oh alright, thanks for the correction! Great lyrics still. :))
Anna del Rosario wonderful wisdom eh?
Every song I listen to becomes my hands down absolutely favorite song....till I hear his next song then that is my absolutely hands down favorite song...then I hear his next song.......
Someone spent of lot of time listening to Townes... thanks for the great music Shakey!
Still to this day i come back to this.
111 people need a slap in the face
yesss!
They just didn't like that it ended.
WTF now 703.
823 now
From the first listen, Shakey has been great to listen to and is a SUPER musician(BTW) !
needs more Droopy Wieners.
Rambeard I want to see an appearance of spooky wagons!
kckrye spooky wagons*
Gage Cullum oh snap you are right...it is spooky wagons. LOL My bad! Thanks! Good stuff :)
No worries! Haha
But Spooky Wagons was just some alcoholic..
Such an important song for this spiritual war that is taking place.
I don't understand why this isn't huge. His lyrics are genius. This guy makes for example John Mayer look like the bubblegum bullshit he is. Shakey Graves is soul satisfying music.
skole03 haha John Mayer is bubblegum bullshit compared to folk, folk is only great because it will always be strongest in the most quiet recesses of the music world
To be fair, John Mayer is first and foremost a blues guy who got famous making pop music. He has played blues with BB King and many other greats.
Totally different artists. John Mayer is extremely talented, started with blues and over time his music became what it is now. Kind of similar to how Shakey is progressing. It's evident with his latest album that his music is altering to please a wider variety of audience. His roots will always be THIS kind of music, but don't be surprised when Shakey starts making more mainstream music to further his career.
Because you don't share good music.
Corporate Music does not want your soul "satisfied"...
S.G. is not an octopus; his very movements, voice, guitar, drums, are extensions of himself. S.G. IS his music!
I'm in love, no one understands
you
no one cares*
+norevelation hold this L for that lame comment my g
I understand. I want to have his babies.
+LuffLolly I want to have his adopted babies
The more I listen the more I like. He's got a style of music quite his own.♪
