Thank to my friend Yvan I discovered Ben Howard, thank to Ben Howard I discovered John Smith, thank to John Smith I discovered Lisa Hannigan and thank to these last two people I discovered this song in this wonderful version. Thank you good, abundant life.
6 years ago! Tell me who else you've found! For me it was Damien Rice - Lisa Hannigan - John Smith - Glen Hansard! All found through their performances together. I love your outlook, abundant indeed! Ben Howard is my favourite musician of all time and will be always. Artists I've found through him: The Staves & Nathaniel Rateliff (watch the documentary 'Austin to Boston, Ben tours with a bunch of folk musicians including Ben Lovett (Mumford & Sons) and Michael Kiwanuka) - Monica Heldal - India Bourne & Mickey Smith (A Blaze of Feather, Ben plays in Mickeys band and they're about to release their 2nd album if the tiny hints are true, their first album is a gem) I can't help commenting when somebody mentions Ben! Can share some more if you haven't heard of some of the above? Look up Joanna Newsom! She's wondrous. 'Good Intentions Paving Company' is a good place to start with her.
Her voice is like a blanket you cling to at the golden hour calm before the evening neon rain, in the back of an old box car, smelling of leather and coffee and cigarettes and old lipstick.
Huh. I saw him at a gig in Colchester, UK last night and told him that his concert was like being hugged by the best friend you could ever imagine . . .but i like your description too. Nice. He is a genius and kind man.
That's great. I'm a big fan of Hansert and Hannigan. Gotta listen to some more of this Smith. BTW I always associate this song with Memorial Day which marks the beginning of summer in New England.
Its a fylde falstaff, made by Roger Bucknall. Exceptional guitar, Was lucky enough to try one (and order one) and meet Roger yesterday. Genuine guitar, genuine man.
i can not get enough of this video all three voices blend together like jager and redbull.....JAGERBOMB a modern masterpeice of epic proportions, always lobe senoir hasnard since once.. in the winter of 65....... gets me everytime....
Lovely cover. I love all three of them and they sound amazing together. And how tall is John? Glen is around 6ft, 5'11 at the very least and John makes him look tiny.
see gareth, its a sign.....a tutorial of john smith, with his exceptional guitar choice, has gotta be a christmas treat for us all?? great cover though wasnt it.
This must be the definitive version of this song. Other versions come across as as right-wing aggression, whereas this version highlights the dreadful sacrifice on all sides in the American Civil War.
Great version of a great song by a great band, by 3 of my favourite artists. Shame it's sponsored by a corrupt tax dodging multi national coffee chain, but there you go!
