The devil is my running mate. This here is his favorite state Sorry you folks had to wait. He always likes to show up late. No, that ain't a rainbow son. It's streetlamps on petroleum Let's pull in here and get us some. Supplies are running out now. It ain't the reason for the war. That's meanness boy and nothing more. They tried to do this all before, but Daddy wouldn't let them. Sometimes I don't what I got into. Sometimes I can't stand to read my name. Sometimes I can only hear their voices casting me back from where I came. The devil is my running mate. Confusion is his favorite state. Surely you folks can relate. I know we've gathered here to hate. It doesn't matter who we blame as long as you all hear a name. All them bastards look the same. Everyone is guilty. Everybody look away. Look away. Look away. It doesn't matter what I say. It's what I do that's shifty. Sometimes I don't know what we got into. Sometimes I don't think I know a thing. Sometimes I can't even see the trees now for the flames, for the flames. The devil is my running mate, and this here is his favorite state. There ain't no other candidate. It wouldn't matter anyway. The devil is my running mate. The devil is my running mate.
honestly me too i cant stop listening and singing along with him i really wanna see him do three covers in studio Like A Stone, Arkansas in studio and, Simple Man. I think all of these would be amazing
Well, you're not alone. I cannot stop listening to him singing. He's just got something special in his voice. Once it catches you, it will never let you go...

What a voice. The echo in the church is slightly haunting but beautiful at the same time. The closest thing i can get to these acoustics is in my bathroom :)
I had a fn horrible day. music has always been therapy. I was searching for that voice that can bring you out of a shitty place. @shawn James #Goshdeum amazing thank you.

I've been into alot of genres of music..from the heaviest of death metal to bluegrass and all of it in between and Shawn blows me away! The best singer ive ever heard!
hello mr. james ... cheers from rio grande, Tdf in Argentina i love your music ... love the mesaages on every song, and i lov you're part of one of my favourite games TLOU part 2.. sorry my english ... peace and good life to you.
may God bless you for gracing my ears with such beauty! honestly you have an amazing powerful yet soothing voice and your music is fantastic keep it brother! i would love to hear you cover along the watchtower
You are fn amazing... Where have you been? Can't believe im just hearing your music. I've been missing out. Can't find good music, lyrics, OR singers any more. hard to come by. thank you! 💯💯❤❤
Dude your music makes me see the world in a while different way, your music is incredible, though I only discovered you a short time ago, I feel like its been long time cause your songs make me feel, feel deep
Thanks for sharing. I wanted to suggest a couple of other songs for covers if they strike a chord 1952 Black Vincent Lighting Richard Thompson has done the version I heard Born in the Country / Devil's Dream this is by a guy named Mike Cross The wolf preserve song has had me hooked for while now. No one else has come any where close to something as cool as that.
dude you're fucking amazing, I don't typically listen to this type of music but some people just cut through. I've been listening to you on repeat all week
Great job Shawn! I've been a Spotify listener for so long and was wondering why sudden spike in popularity, but it's good to see the increase from your song being featured in the game trailer. EDIT: This is amazing! I would never have thought you would have a personal youtube channel.
Wow! I'm a huge Isbell fan and don't usually care for covers but this is absolutely amazing. Far exceeded my expectations, may actually be better than the original. Your voice is haunting
your voice carries the ehoes of trees covered in hanging moss, the leathery skin of the caymen atop the muddy waters and the foggy howls of wolves from the frozen north.

The devil is my running mate.
This here is his favorite state
Sorry you folks had to wait.
He always likes to show up late.
No, that ain't a rainbow son.
It's streetlamps on petroleum
Let's pull in here and get us some.
Supplies are running out now.
It ain't the reason for the war.
That's meanness boy and nothing more.
They tried to do this all before,
but Daddy wouldn't let them.
Sometimes I don't what I got into.
Sometimes I can't stand to read my name.
Sometimes I can only hear their voices
casting me back from where I came.
The devil is my running mate.
Confusion is his favorite state.
Surely you folks can relate.
I know we've gathered here to hate.
It doesn't matter who we blame
as long as you all hear a name.
All them bastards look the same.
Everyone is guilty.
Everybody look away.
Look away. Look away.
It doesn't matter what I say.
It's what I do that's shifty.
Sometimes I don't know what we got into.
Sometimes I don't think I know a thing.
Sometimes I can't even see the trees now
for the flames, for the flames.
The devil is my running mate,
and this here is his favorite state.
There ain't no other candidate.
It wouldn't matter anyway.
The devil is my running mate.
The devil is my running mate.
walker 15 thanks
Melissa Yates sure thing
walker 15 o
Looks like someone's last hour in death row before the execution.
Whew u rock
I'm obsessed with the tone of your voice.
honestly me too i cant stop listening and singing along with him i really wanna see him do three covers in studio Like A Stone, Arkansas in studio and, Simple Man. I think all of these would be amazing
Well, you're not alone. I cannot stop listening to him singing. He's just got something special in his voice. Once it catches you, it will never let you go...
Add me to this list. I just found him and can't stop listening. How come I've not found you before now?
@@michaelfield5181 simple man covered by jensen ackles that version specifically
Your sound soothes a restless soul.

My God, I haven't had continuous chills during a performance since I was a kid
Same. Every 2 seconds.
Beautiful brother. Fayetteville misses you but I'm glad you're able to share your gift worldwide.
Forever grateful to RUclips for letting me discover Shawn James. Such an awesome talent.
Now THAT'S talent ♥️👌👍
Nothing other than his voice, the echo in the church and a guitar ♡
And yet still gives you chills ♡
Perfect, what an incredible voice, I'm a big fan of Brazil, keep it up, you're awesome
Wow, what a voice. I love your music since I found you on RUclips and now you are my top artist. Hope i can see you live one day...

I wanted to suggest a couple of other songs for covers if they strike a chord
1952 Black Vincent Lighting Richard Thompson has done the version I heard
Born in the Country / Devil's Dream this is by a guy named Mike Cross
The wolf preserve song has had me hooked for while now. No one else has
come any where close to something as cool as that.
amazing voice. great playing.
Se ha convertido en mi cantante favorito!!!!! ES GENIAL LA VOZ DE ESTE HOMBRE Y SU MUSICA
ginna garcia tu si sabes xd

Dana Ross Por fin me encuentro a una Argentina
Better than the original man. Good job man. This is sooo doooooooope👍🏻💪🏻could hear it everytime
dude you're fucking amazing, I don't typically listen to this type of music but some people just cut through. I've been listening to you on repeat all week
Love this man
Great job Shawn! I've been a Spotify listener for so long and was wondering why sudden spike in popularity, but it's good to see the increase from your song being featured in the game trailer.
EDIT: This is amazing! I would never have thought you would have a personal youtube channel.
Love his music and voice more than any other. He has a song for ever mood I'm in😈❤️
Music that touches the soul
Woooo amazing
Chile
Wow! I'm a huge Isbell fan and don't usually care for covers but this is absolutely amazing. Far exceeded my expectations, may actually be better than the original. Your voice is haunting
your voice carries the ehoes of trees covered in hanging moss, the leathery skin of the caymen atop the muddy waters and the foggy howls of wolves from the frozen north.
Lee Decker beautiful words ✌
Fuck that’s a great description.
Howlin Wolf
stunning...:O Your voice is a gift...new fan from Spain!

Don't bring Dave Chapelle into this...
Bless you boy! I love you!

Masterpiece.
Beautiful.
