Jesse is the sweetest most kind human ever. He signed every record I bought at his show without even thinking twice… Charlie Crockett wouldn’t even acknowledge his fans… Jesse forever
I I met Jesse at a show in Santa Barbara and he approached me at a Halloween party he was a very cool guy I have to agree with you here a very down to earth guy super nice
Willi Carlisle sings a line much like that. Something like “all old punks become cowboys- it’s really pretty accurate! I’ve known a few and may be one myself!😂
He'll yeah brother. His songs in Spanish are great. Still has a gringo accent, but so do I. Seem him live twice, he remembered me and signs everything. Great dude. That was some awesome guitar pickin.
Saw him in Chicago, opening up for American Aquarium. Helluva show!! Grateful that I saw Jesse and Caleb Melo perform - even got to shake his hand after the show. Great song, Jesse!
The sequel to Primus' "Jerry was a Racecar Driver"
😂😂
Ummhh, yeah. You hit that nail hard on the head.
also reminds me of Tom T. Halls song. The Year That Clayton Delaney Died
Saw him a few years ago at Duke’s in Indy while I had food poisoning. Still one of the best shows !

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Clayton was a cowboy from Branson, Colorado
He never had a drink he didn't like
And every chance that he would get, he'd turn it up full throttle
I guess that's just the way old Clayton liked to live his life
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
His mama always told him not to worship any idols
Puttin' faith in man will almost always let you down
Drivin' cross the country, he was winnin' all the titles
Breakin' hearts along the way and livin' town to town
[Verse 3]
Out west of the Rockies, up in Northern California
Through the ridin' and the ropin', a young lady caught his eye
She asked him, "Would you like to dance?" and he said, "I've gotta warn ya
I was born with two left feet, but I can give it my best try"
[Chorus]
Nothin' good lasts forever
Doesn't mean you shouldn't try
They say it's better late than never
Hell can wait until tomorrow
He's got one more bull to ride
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
He pulled into a rodeo somewhere in Oklahoma
Wind was blowin' strong and kicked the dust into his eyes
He walked into a field to smell the flowers' sweet aroma
Said a cowboy's prayer and then he looked up to the sky
[Verse 5]
They paired him with an angry bull whose name was El Diablo
Tied the rope down tight and the gates swung open wide
He bucked him off the side, but his hand just wouldn't let go
The clowns all tried to save him as the crowd looked on in fright
[Chorus]
Nothin' good lasts forever
Doesn't mean you shouldn't try
They say it's better late than never
Hell can wait until tomorrow
He's got one more bull to ride
[Interlude]
[Verse 6]
A somber wave of silence swept over the arena
As Clayton lay there dyin' on the cold and dirty ground
'Cause Clayton was a cowboy from Branson, Colorado
His ramblin' days are over, this old cowboy's homeward bound
You magnificent beast, thank you!
Thank God for Western AF. Best artists ever ☺
I'm sure Clayton will love it

One of my favorite J.D. songs. Always wondered about the inspiration behind it. Thanks Western AF.
Spotify recommend me this song a few months ago and I absolutely loved it! It's great to put face to the name and hear a new great version

Saw Jesse in Boise last year..... he put on a great show and I enjoy my CD's I bought that night all the time. Good classic western tunesmith.
Great dude, great music. He plays my kind of county music.
My favorite country song this decade.
Love that song.
Caught Jesse at Richmond Folk Festival and he told the crowd of this video on the channel. Love both!
Great song and tribute to your friend!

Love the music! Does anyone know what guitar he’s playing in this video?
Yes 👍
Fan’fkn’tastic!!!
Is good and raw
Jesse, are you related to both Guy Clark and Earl Scruggs? Well done young man.
From Branson wonder if this story is true I knew a clayton
Here for the algorithm.
FUCK YEAHHHH JESSEE!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Can anyone please explain the picking pattern to me, I’m trying to learn this the right way but NO ONE has a tutorial lol
That’s songwritin’, son!
That guy can pick
💪💪💪
That "No alcohol beyond this point" sign in the background is accidentally apropos.
Well who doesn't love a song with your name in it?! Well maybe Janey gets annoyed but not me!!!
Better than most
Somebody get ahold of Clayton
I could almost believe this was a lost Guy Clark song
Pretty good I guess
Aman
Pizza
I’m guessing we’ve all known a Clayton or two…
I thought this was a side story to The Year Clayton Delaney Died
sad that post malone ripped this song off
