Such a great song. The stories great, and those little Neil Young esq guitar fills between the chorus and verse are brilliant. A favourite to cover live!
Found Ian Noe by chance about a year ago, this video in fact. His Between The Country album is absolutely amazing. You need to hear the whole thing if you haven't! Thanks for putting a spotlight on him Michael, he deserves all the attention he can get.
This channel has revived me. I’m plucking my guitar and enjoying songs through my soul and not just playing noise for my ears and backdrops to my brain. Thank you kind sir.
Great reaction as always. Can’t go wrong with an Appalachian artist. Other songs from Ian to check out: letters to Madeline, methhead, Irene, river fools, between the country are all great works of art.
After hearing Ian on WNCW…I bought his album Between the Country…every song is great…then I saw him play live in Asheville NC at Ambrose West…Amazing to hear all those songs in a live setting…He’s one of the best songwriters out there today…Looking forward to the new album coming out…Going to see him this Sat. at The Grey Eagle in Asheville NC…Great Stuff Mike…Keep it up…!!!
Thank you for the video! I love Ian Noe! What a beautiful song. And I love your take on them too. Please keep up the great work. Stoked for his new album.
Thank you so much. Such incredible writing. I wonder how long it would have been before I found him if not for channels like this. Channels like this are so important for the spread and purchase of great music. 🙏 .
Mr Palmisano thank you for always putting a smile on my face with your wonderful videos. I may not fully understand the theory behind a lot of music but your expressions and happiness doing these videos is a lot of the reason I subscribe and keep coming back. Thank you for all your hard work!
Beautiful song with a great message. And oh yeah, I'm working with a purpose alright. Spent years now with the wheels spinning and I've only managed to dig the tires into a rut. I'm exhausted. Hopefully someday it'll work out.
Love the song.... His new album came out a couple of weeks ago and it has a little bit of everything. Little bit of old Rock n' Roll mixed in with the great storytelling and folk sounds. Check out his song "Tom Barrett" for another great character study!
Ha, was listening to this song on spotify on my way home from class just now. Not too often you get Bob Dylan-y, Tom Waits-y vibes from a country artist, but here we are. One thing I'd like to mention, regarding the chord progression, it seems like the 3 chord might just be more of a C#/F. I've found that when I play it, if I play a full-blown Fm it sounds just a little bit off. So with a capo on the 1st fret, just play the C# on the B string, leave everything else open, and let 'er ring. That was the key to the whole song for me. SO happy you listened to this song, love the videos!
Hey Michael, have you heard ‘Pain Never Hurt Me Like Love by Foy Vance’ Would love a breakdown of his use of softness, licks, and overall finesse. Thanks - a fellow Michael
Michael somehow your PRS Acoustic doesn’t sound like mine. I got a faulty one ;) your fingers do some magic on that thing; beautiful resonance and clarity. Thanks for all the recommendations over the years; I’d say half my playlist comes from some of these shout outs! Keep doing the thing man! (Also: I’ve never heard a teacher articulate “bass, middle middle, treble, bass middle middle” or whatever. Is this just part of vocalization or does it have its own name as a skill?)
Wow man I hate my job bro and I put in zero effort and this really hit me cuz I it’s something I want to do but I want to be the boss if that makes sense
Loved that Michael. Am I crazy or did I hear a little bit of a young Bob Dylan in his voice? Great song that shows you can say a lot in a short amount of time if you’ve got great lyrics.
Yes, thank you! Been a huge fan of his since his first album. It's impossible to listen to him and not compare to Dylan, Prine, et. particularly because he doesn't really sound too much like any of them. He's in the genre that stretches back through the greatest folky song writers but I rare distinctive new voice. Check out Burning Down The Prairie from the new album as well. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YfFR2AnBciM.html
I always hear he sounds like bob dylan, but I like to say he’s even better and sounds like John prine. He’s just a little more serious like bob dylan. Honestly though, he sounds like he’s somewhere in between the two.
Sorry, havnt got time to view the video right now. I will do though. But the minute i saw Ian Noe I had to comment. Between the Country is the best album I have ever heard, it is absolutely perfect from start to finish.
I like this guy quite a bit, lyrics are interesting and lure you in to the story but the only thing I can’t get past is I feel his singing style is too similar to Dylan. Take a listen to “Letter to Madeline”. Amazing song and absolute credit to all, assembly, vocals and writing but seems very similar to Bob Dylan’s style in regard to all of the above.
