Heard Tracy Chapman’s voice, coming up the stairs in the Harvard Square T station, five years before she broke. We stopped and listened to three songs. When I heard her on the radio, I had no doubt who it was.
:) Was riding my motorcycle on my commute to work. When stopped at a light behind a cool old Geo Tracker (lil old Jeep type thing), I heard "Rosemary" coming from it. I yelled out (through my helmet) I LOVE SIERRA FERREL!!! The young lady driving noticed me and responded "ME TOO", and I; "followed her over 5 years!!!", young lady; "ME TOO".........my spirit soared :)
And now she has appeared on the Grande Ole Opry and sold out Red Rocks…just to name a few. She’s a bonafide phenom. Always has been. It just took awhile for people to be introduced to her.
last 10 seconds are dope. Washboard artist just stops and stares hard at Sierra, knowing she’s about to blast out an epic finish. So good. She’s likely watched her do this many times but still stops to appreciate the gift.
Great to see resophonics used for the exact purpose they are designed for... unamplified volume in a noisy spot... Sierra's voice is it's own amplifier... what a powerhouse of vocal penetration.
Found this 6/25/24, and it's from 2015! Spectacular to learn that the now-famous "Sierra Ferrell Effect" was underway that long ago. Distinctive rendition by a pleasant, quirky, band. Sierra's max-expressive voice is nearly matched by her costume, creating a theatrical scene.
This is the stuff I like and it beats crap out of the repetitious mainstream bullshit on the airwaves. I don't want radio stations or record companies deciding for me what kind of music they think I should be listening to!
Well... the YT algo pushed this up on the island in Scotland, just. This girl singer stung me for a £10.00 I-tunes download, 2 days ago. Money well spent, indeed. Sierra is just great.
Lots busking musicians are angels. Many are amazing and will never make it. In those times, Sierra was a travelling hobo street musician. Check the dog for personal security (trainhoping etc) Cheap old instrument bags, cheap "made in china" resonator guitars. She only "made it" in 2018 or so. I know personally quite a few musicians who made a carrer starting in the streets or the subway. I busked and played tiny bars for years.. and finally became a full time working musician. Not a star:) but I play big venues/festivals (accompanying mostly) and make a good living of it. New Orleans is full of great street musicians. Alynda Segarra (Hurray for the Riff Raff) is another one who made a career from busking in New Orleans.
Yes. This right here. Definitely love this style of music over her current old country style. This right here is when she was real and genuinely herself. No money, no care for critics, just straight soul.
They're all great. Singer, Guitar, Washboard. SO GOOooOD. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Good
This is, without a doubt, the saddest blues version of "You Are My Sunshine" that I ever heard. But it was damn good and I'm not gonna slit my wrists after all. I wonder who she is. "Girl Singer" would be a real easy name to remember. I really want to hear more of her.
We seen her too when we were there for Christmas 2014. She's amazing. Shine Delphi told us her name but we can't remember. What a voice! She sang a song of her own called Little Bird. With her talent, she will turn up on RUclips more soon. One of my best vacations ever - New Orleans!
Sierra's musical career has been on an upward path since that video was made. This roughly made video is now a piece of musical history, made before we all discovered Sierra!
People Just walking by... I wish I had the pleasure of witnessing Sierra Ferrell like this!!!
@@pmbbmp I couldn't walk past that voice if I was running late for my own wedding
This is where you hear the real music. Out on the street.
I remember seeing her busking around Asheville! Utterly captivating then and now.

I’m from Seattle. I remember her busking at Pike Place Market.
This “girl singer” is now a phenomenon! Her energy is so magnetic 🧲

Just about every generation a special one comes along, here she is. The wonderful and great Sierra Ferrell. Hooray!
I saw her busking in New Orleans. Took forever to find her name...glad I did.
"this girl" is Sierra Ferrell and she can do no wrong in my book
And now she has appeared on the Grande Ole Opry and sold out Red Rocks…just to name a few. She’s a bonafide phenom. Always has been. It just took awhile for people to be introduced to her.
The great Sierra Ferrell ladies and gentlemen.
last 10 seconds are dope. Washboard artist just stops and stares hard at Sierra, knowing she’s about to blast out an epic finish. So good. She’s likely watched her do this many times but still stops to appreciate the gift.
Err.. she was watching her the whole time and stoped on her cue.. but i see what yr gettin at
shine is so underrated. he helped make one of the greatest ever. his solos are pure presence. Love.
Style all of her own but so exceptionally talented even the dog did a spot of backing vocals at the start .
I'm absolutely in love with Sierra Ferrell
Isn’t she a blessing
that's sierra. Beautiful voice.

@@pmbbmp Maybe busking is part time, and they have an actual job where they make money? That would put you in a bad mood, I bet.
About time someone gave this creepy song the minor key treatment. Love your work Sierra 💖
I 100% heard her in New Orleans around this time. So much good music on the street in NOLA

Her journey is an amazing story.
Currently crying, love miss Sierra Ferrell
#sierraferrell
???? Crying???😅
Wow! This is so authentic and orginal! Wish i was there with a million to drop in the case. That is her musical valve. No limit!
Ps. Forget to say how well the other two players really fit in and helps fill out the sound.
I love that people are risking life and limb crossing a busy street to tip the band.
You should tag Sierra Ferrell in this! #SierraFerrell
I’ve stood on this street corner and listened to countless musicians busk over the years
The amazing voice of Sierra Ferrel
Saw her last summer in Los Angeles. What an amazing talent. And she was amazing 10 years ago after seeing this video. What a VOICE!
This is the stuff I like and it beats crap out of the repetitious mainstream bullshit on the airwaves. I don't want radio stations or record companies deciding for me what kind of music they think I should be listening to!

I love Sierra Ferrell, she’s an amazing entertainer 💖
I love her!
Me too
Mind blowingly talented
That's no girl busker. That's an angel named Sierra Ferrell.
Lots busking musicians are angels. Many are amazing and will never make it.

Dirty kids do it best
Love her style, music, fashion & compassion
How creative to have a truck solo at the (roughly) one minute mark!
Just awesome. Love the dog and racoon tail. So Sierra haha
They're all great. Singer, Guitar, Washboard. SO GOOooOD. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Good
Agreed, Great Voice and nice guitar work too Thank You.
Your comment sucks, though.
Love Sierra. She Is Heading To Australia. Opening For Pokey LaFarge. My New Two Favorites.
saw that concert . it was great
She is perfect match for Pokey’s music
There are a load of good ones now with this style, next generation I guess.
SPEWIN' just read this Nov 2020. What a Shiite year ... finding this just now just made it shiiter
Cool to see, thanks for posting! I gotta check out New Orleans again one of these days

Hello Sierra...another great video

@sierraferrell - a legend in the making!!🥰
Sierra is so amazing.
There's always good music on that corner!
One Beautiful Old Soul. Damn she is good

Her name is Sierra Ferrell. She's got such a great voice. And Little Bird is an incredible song. I'd kill to see that live.
It's sierra ferrell look her up she's amazing
Might look into Shooter Jennings / Jamey Johnson / Twiggy Ramirez version. It can sound even sadder.
Sierra's musical career has been on an upward path since that video was made. This roughly made video is now a piece of musical history, made before we all discovered Sierra!

Yet again proving that the best musicians are the ones you probably never heard of playing for themselves in the street.
She just won the artist and album of the year at the Americana Awards.
What a come up, just seen her play at the Gorge a few months back.

Sierra from the streets of New Orleans to the Grand Ole Opry singing County the best way.
This group is excellent.the girl singer is fine
Love this jam 🔥

3:17 The girl on the washboards face at the end there says what we're all thinking about Sierra's voice.
That's exactly what "Busking" is like.🎸
She had it going, even back then...
She really did know where she was headed, look at her now in 2024. You know the overnight success, 😉
Love that lead guitar solo!👍😎🖒

You are my sunshine.
