Matt Anderson walked on stage (fresh outta the shower in his bus probably), plugged in his guitar, riffed with the audience, tuned his strings and did this... This is how a legend performs.
Instead of listening to this musical genius we get WAP in the radio. This guy is friggin’ amazing. I get the chills hearing his sing and play. I’m speechless
That’s because there’s such a thing as different genres, my guy. WAP is hip-hop, this is not. If you don’t like the genre, listen to what you do like. If you don’t like something, you’re not obligated to listen to it
This man is soooo talented. I hope that any time HE gets the blues he returns to these comments and realizes how much people respect and love him and what a great big difference HIS soul has made in our world! MATT ... thank you so much for sharing your love of music and gift of voice & fingers! I love your playing. 🕊🕊🕊✨✨✨
@@benjaminconrad3674 Give your heart and soul into it, train like you never have before and you will be able to. Doesnt matter how far away you are from starting. I started singing at 20, and still reached a good state of where people enjoy hearing me and really like my voice. Its just a lot of dedication and training. :D You got it if you try.
I love his Blues heart; listen to that man! He does some softer stuff but I'd have to say that this heavy blues sound has such entertaining vigor... I can't wait to see more.
OMFG, I love blues, but this! This is on a whole level all on it's own. Love Matt's comedic timing at the beginning of this. I just found out I missed his gig down under in my home state. Matt, you gotta come back to Melbourne, I will take a 2nd mortgage out so I can get tix..
A man with phenomenal talent unfortunately barely heard of. This guy should be more famous than pretty much any mainstream pish out there. Constantly brainwashed with the turgid, uninspired, tasteless shit all over our TV. Boils my blood. Keep it up Matt, looking forward to seeing you live in Glasgow soon.
This Song gave me Tears, thinking about my Farther that I never met, I'm 48 with 7 Gran childrens, I'm half Cook island Rarotonga and half White, I call my self One Night Stand Child, but this Song make me Happy and think Forward, Kia Orana (may you live long)🇨🇰🇨🇰🇨🇰 Good Song
I own this song on pretty much every platform it is available on.....Ive seen this video several times This performance gives me chills .....This would be amazing on 180gr vinyl
You throw me water when I’m drowning You take my kindling when I’m cold You give me matches when I’m burning And give me pennies for my gold You’ve got a heart as hard as diamonds Shines like a piece of coal Buried deep in the ground Like your coal black soul You got one hand in my pocket The other hand’s on the spade Sending me to the bottle And into my early grave Now I’ve tried like hell to leave you But you keep pulling me back Your love is like a freight train And I’m tied to the track No soul on earth could love you No man can satisfy Only hell’s own fire will ever warm you You should be the devil’s bride
Just discovered this man tonight! He is strong, real, passionate and deserves respect with much applause! I am feeling influence of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Chris Stapleton + John Lee Hooker in this right off! Matt is HIS own, owning his style and gives me a meatloaf visual!!
Chris Stapleton made other people famous off of his music before he decided to take the reins of his own songs and make it big. This guy is awesome but not better then Chris Stapleton. Both are good guitar players and blues singers hands down.
Matt is absolutely amazing...great voice but oh man that playing how he makes these songs his own... please come to England and Margate in particular!!
Just a month ago, I walked past a street musician that played Devil's Bride. His version was good, but more importantly, he reminded me if this one. So I gave him 50 dollars. That is how enormously good Matt Andersen is, just being reminded of him is almost worth paying a concert ticket.
There is no word to describe when that chair goes back. The most effin' talented thing I've ever witnessed. Love that NB guy. He definitely should have had more success.
I saw him last night, opening for Beth Hart in Atlanta. I'd never heard of him. When he walked out, carrying only an acoustic guitar, I wasn't expecting a whole lot. But, wow, can he sing and play!
Deanna, I would highly suggest getting there early enough to see Matt perform. It was interesting how the crowd went from not paying any attention to the big guy walking out with an acoustic guitar to being totally sucked in by the last song. When he walked off at the end, everybody around us was asking, "Who WAS that?!?! What was his name?" I doubt that anybody bought a ticket because of Matt, but he put on a performance worthy of everyone's attention.
Thanks Craig, I plan to get there earlier to see him perform. I have really been looking forward to seeing Beth and until recently didn't know of Matt Andersen. This is going to be a great night!
A couple of yrs ago I called up to the Halifax tourist office to see if anyone was playing there during my vaca week,,the girl said “Matt Andersen”, I said WHO’s Matt Andersen? ..looked him up, saw he was playing in NYC the following week ,... Bought a ticket ..big wow ! He was amazing! 3 weeks was later I was in Halifax listening to him & the mellotones & buying his cds & dvds..you don’t get better than him.
Pure energy! Seems to be he was born with that guitar in his hands, thanks so much for that video, it's a real delight to watch such an excellent performer.
Been enjoying his stuff for a long time this is top shelf. I have to ask Matt have you met my ex. 😮 this song nailed it to her .... I have play this one.
1:11 is when the song starts Lyrics You throw me water when I’m drowning You take my kindling when I’m cold You give me matches when I’m burning You give me pennies for my gold You got a heart as hard as diamonds Shines like a piece of coal Buried deep in the ground Like your cold black soul You got one hand in my pocket The other hands on the spade Sending me to the bottle And into my early grave Now I’ve tried like hell to leave you But you keep pulling me back You’re love is like a freight train I’m tied to the tracks No soul no earth could love you No man could satisfy Only hells own fire could ever warm you You should be the devils bride You should be the devils bride You should be the devils bride You should be the devils bride You should be the devils bride
This is amazing. But, if you want to impress anyone who's seen him, it sucks. Because you can't just out-sing him, you have to out-play him at the same time. Both are extremely difficult on their own, but together they're damn near impossible. Keep it up Matt! Your making us all look bad, but we love you for it!
you can tell by his mannerisms that he's not just playing music, he's feeling and living it.
Yes... he IS the music. He becomes it.
FKIN A 🤟
This performance was what the standing ovation was invented for!
I cannot express my disbelief that this man is not on the international stage.
Matt Anderson walked on stage (fresh outta the shower in his bus probably), plugged in his guitar, riffed with the audience, tuned his strings and did this...
This is how a legend performs.
He’s so damn good. I’ve seen him twice live. Both times at one point I was moved to tears.
@@erikehinger5828 me too! Just saw him in Meaford. Speechless.
Matt you re my favorite singer
from Cecile leclerc grand falls n b
Love your silent night song
Will you ever come to Quebec
Would love to see you perform xox
I've just come across this Man my God..It's April 2019
Why isn't this on the radio all day!
I know, I'm thinking damn where has he been all this time. Wish I discovered him sooner.
@@lovedove2661 same here, could not be happier.
My day was yesterday and my life will never be the same. Can not wait to see this legend live in Novato in August.
go home, boy.
Why have I never heard of this dude before he's awesome 💯
I've listened to this a hundred times, and 5:38 still gives me goose bumps!
+BOB24502 Totally, chills
Same here. The part just before that when he's tellin the little story leading up to it paints gives a great visual too lmao
Favorite part of the song! This heavily inspired my novel... it's just so raw
My word - yes - Yuslaaik!
yea man.. got chills all over. no girl wants to be the protagonist here..
Instead of listening to this musical genius we get WAP in the radio. This guy is friggin’ amazing. I get the chills hearing his sing and play. I’m speechless
That's because this is what "wap", really is
Dude I’ve been sending his stuff for the last 3 months help me out
That’s because there’s such a thing as different genres, my guy. WAP is hip-hop, this is not. If you don’t like the genre, listen to what you do like. If you don’t like something, you’re not obligated to listen to it
Just had the WORST day ever, then.,.. Discovered this guy!
This man is soooo talented. I hope that any time HE gets the blues he returns to these comments and realizes how much people respect and love him and what a great big
difference HIS soul has made in our world!
MATT ... thank you so much for sharing your love of music and gift of voice & fingers!
I love your playing. 🕊🕊🕊✨✨✨
Hello ,how are you doing today?
Damn! Coming back to this about once a year since finding him. Just amazing!
I love during the solo how he keeps the bass string as a beat going.. That's mighty impressive.
I just found today, i try to learn Guitar since 6 years, i will never reach anything like these xD
But i started late with 17, and not with enough time spent on it
just what i thought right now!
Listen to Tommy Emmanuel
@@benjaminconrad3674 Give your heart and soul into it, train like you never have before and you will be able to. Doesnt matter how far away you are from starting. I started singing at 20, and still reached a good state of where people enjoy hearing me and really like my voice. Its just a lot of dedication and training. :D You got it if you try.
Wow , this is the first I've seen or heard of him . Mercy , he is Bad to The Bone ...
Wow...how did I not hear of this guy before today!!!
I love his Blues heart; listen to that man!
He does some softer stuff but I'd have to say that this heavy blues sound has such entertaining vigor... I can't wait to see more.
I saw this amazing fella open for old crow medicine show a few years back. He stole the show, hands down.
Hello ,how are you doing today?
OMFG, I love blues, but this! This is on a whole level all on it's own. Love Matt's comedic timing at the beginning of this. I just found out I missed his gig down under in my home state. Matt, you gotta come back to Melbourne, I will take a 2nd mortgage out so I can get tix..
Saw him live in Peterborough with my dad. What an absolute legend.
Simply brilliant!!! I only recently discovered Matt's music, and I'm totally blown away by it.
this man plays with passion and soul, pouring everything he has into his performances and songs, something that is lacking in todays music
Seven minutes very well spent. God bless the musicians🎸
Music like this is my drug
That makes Matt Anderson my drug dealer.
A man with phenomenal talent unfortunately barely heard of. This guy should be more famous than pretty much any mainstream pish out there. Constantly brainwashed with the turgid, uninspired, tasteless shit all over our TV. Boils my blood. Keep it up Matt, looking forward to seeing you live in Glasgow soon.
that's the unfortunate story with the vast majority of skilled musicians. Thankfully this dude does get to travel and eat, better than most.
LindseyBuckinghamIsGod Love your screen name, totally agreed.
And I totally agree with every word written, this guy is a massive talent , very underrated . Unfortunately.
Damn Incredible Mr Matt Andersen!!! That oozed with soul and passion. Huge Respect!
Hello ,how are you doing today?
Fortunate to enjoy Matt last night in Albuquerque, NM as he opened for Tab Benoit! Wow!
His power is insane!
My..my..what the hell? I cannot believe this is the 1st time I have seen or listen to him. Badasssssss my friend!
This Song gave me Tears, thinking about my Farther that I never met, I'm 48 with 7 Gran childrens, I'm half Cook island Rarotonga and half White, I call my self One Night Stand Child, but this Song make me Happy and think Forward, Kia Orana (may you live long)🇨🇰🇨🇰🇨🇰 Good Song
gives me goosebumps every damn time
One of the best songs I’ve ever heard. It sounds like there are 2 or 3 guitars at once playing. Makes that guitar sound hot.
I own this song on pretty much every platform it is available on.....Ive seen this video several times This performance gives me chills .....This would be amazing on 180gr vinyl
Once in a while, many times unexpected, something or someone comes along and reminds you how great things can truly be. Wow.
It's obvious now that he is "THE KING OF BLUES"
Just amazing !
You throw me water when I’m drowning
You take my kindling when I’m cold
You give me matches when I’m burning
And give me pennies for my gold
You’ve got a heart as hard as diamonds
Shines like a piece of coal
Buried deep in the ground
Like your coal black soul
You got one hand in my pocket
The other hand’s on the spade
Sending me to the bottle
And into my early grave
Now I’ve tried like hell to leave you
But you keep pulling me back
Your love is like a freight train
And I’m tied to the track
No soul on earth could love you
No man can satisfy
Only hell’s own fire will ever warm you
You should be the devil’s bride
First saw him when he opened for Johnny Lang…I had no idea who he was and he completely stole the entire show. Once in a lifetime experience.
Just tipped the likes from 3.9 to 4K.... this deserves so much more!!!! Rock on from Eire 🤘🏻
I just tipped you from 6 likes to 7 😃
Éirinn go Brách
IRELAND!!!
chills ever time i listen to this song.. love it.
Just discovered this man tonight! He is strong, real, passionate and deserves respect with much applause! I am feeling influence of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Chris Stapleton + John Lee Hooker in this right off! Matt is HIS own, owning his style and gives me a meatloaf visual!!
Hello ,how are you doing today?
I love his voice! 😍 Great performance, great talent :)
RUclips is hooking it up today!!! This is gold!! 🎶✨🎶
5:25 is where the goosebumps show up!!
So TOTALLY amazing performance ! Thanks for your music. Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter
This man is a favourite of mine I love the passion he puts into a song.
Hello ,how are you doing today?
Please make cd just like these live performances when your voice is so wild, beautiful
Definitly the best dirty blues i heard in my life. This giant blues guy such amazing !
as soon as 1:12 hit, I knew he was going to kill this performance!
This guy is Canada's best kept secret… Matt you rock !! Canada's Chris Stapleton.. But even better…
Guitar-wise definitely, vocal wise, debatable.
Its debatable, Chris has written songs for a ton of stars! Matt is talented, making his way, a great no doubt.
Kenny Wayne Shepard
Chris Stapleton made other people famous off of his music before he decided to take the reins of his own songs and make it big. This guy is awesome but not better then Chris Stapleton. Both are good guitar players and blues singers hands down.
He ain't better than Stapleton...lets just hold on there chief
Agradesço a Deus de ter a oportunidade de ouvir matt andersen... Esse cara faz show de verdade.
Bloody awesome. RUclips, you only suggest this to me 8 years later? What's wrong with you?
Matt Andersen Radio is now the only channel I am subscribed to on RUclips Music.
5:38 So powerful! I'm speechless 🖤
Matt is absolutely amazing...great voice but oh man that playing how he makes these songs his own... please come to England and Margate in particular!!
Showed him to my year 4 class a few weeks ago and they were BLOWN. AWAY.
I've seen him perform in 2018 in Ponte Vedra (Florida), awsome! Difficult to stay in your seat ;-)
“No soul on earth can love you” Incredible.
His ability to connect with an audience is second to none.
Honestly it brought tears of every emotion when he spoke up. Great song!
I saw him on August 22, opening for Blue Rodeo. He was awesome.
fkin underrated! nobody else found this inspiring? got damn, MATT.
Well done Canada...well done
☺
Sometimes US's weird cousin doing well things 😂
Matt Anderson is the best thing to come out of New Brunswick and for 50 years I thought I was
An amazing musician and so thrilled to have him coming to Vancouver Island in Feb/20
Hello ,how are you doing today?
First time hearing him. Marvelous.
Just a month ago, I walked past a street musician that played Devil's Bride. His version was good, but more importantly, he reminded me if this one. So I gave him 50 dollars. That is how enormously good Matt Andersen is, just being reminded of him is almost worth paying a concert ticket.
i just cant get enough ...
Wow, Jesus, i love it. Matt u r great. Thx for this one
holy shite, I thought this guy was good, but now that I've listened to his live performances he's F***ING amazing !
I came across this guy's music today and was blown away and then I realized that he is from New Brunswick and I now I like him even more!
Love it. He really gets into the music and the ride....
Goosebumps
Its 2020 I just found him. Now Im a fan for life !! I love how he jams
Watching this and my iWatch tells me to "Breathe" because my heart rate is soaring. This guy is fantastic. So. Much. Soul. Thanks for posting.
This man is a TORNADO! love, love, LOVE!!!!!!!!
There is no word to describe when that chair goes back. The most effin' talented thing I've ever witnessed. Love that NB guy. He definitely should have had more success.
I cannot believe I literally just found this guy wow!
Got me with the full body goose bumps!
He is awesome!
Matt you are fucking amazing !!! Ughhh sooooo gooooooddddd ! Loveeee him ❤️❤️❤️
I saw him last night, opening for Beth Hart in Atlanta. I'd never heard of him. When he walked out, carrying only an acoustic guitar, I wasn't expecting a whole lot. But, wow, can he sing and play!
Craig Phillips good to know, will be seeing Beth this week.

Time to start a vocal and guitar legends playlist. Holy fuck Matt.
LORD HAVE MERCY!
Love it!
Yep, that about sums it up! lol
I feel like atleast 1000 of these views are from me. This is a banger!
There are two performers I would see every time they come around..and he's one of them.. Love this man's music!
Wow, so awesome!
I’m in love 😻 Nobody plays guitar like him and his voice it’s beyond words.
Been enjoying his stuff for a long time this is top shelf.
I have to ask Matt have you met my ex. 😮 this song nailed it to her .... I have play this one.
This guys voice makes my stomach fill with butterflies and sends shivers up my spine. His passion for playing is so sensational!
He is a goof
that was great
It's nearly 2020 and i JUST discovered this guy? Where the fuck have I been?
What a king!
All time favorite no comparison all time favorite
1:11 is when the song starts
Lyrics
You throw me water when I’m drowning
You take my kindling when I’m cold
You give me matches when I’m burning
You give me pennies for my gold
You got a heart as hard as diamonds
Shines like a piece of coal
Buried deep in the ground
Like your cold black soul
You got one hand in my pocket
The other hands on the spade
Sending me to the bottle
And into my early grave
Now I’ve tried like hell to leave you
But you keep pulling me back
You’re love is like a freight train
I’m tied to the tracks
No soul no earth could love you
No man could satisfy
Only hells own fire could ever warm you
You should be the devils bride
You should be the devils bride
You should be the devils bride
You should be the devils bride
You should be the devils bride
what the...so awesome! now thats music. get through my bones
