This is one of the few bands I can put all 4 of their albums on shuffle and never hear a bad song. My suggestion would be do an hour long reaction to the entire Diamonds and Gasoline album. By the time you get to the final song, you will explode in sheer joy 😆
I’m so blessed I got to see them twice before they “took a break”. I agree 100% it’s 1 or maybe 3 artists I can just throw on shuffle. My favorite song is whole damn town or KC southern. Wbu?
Definitely, Whiskey Myers & Cody Jinks! Jinks has gone RIAA platinum on album "Loud and Heavy." Huge for a non mainstream artist not played on radio or with a major record label.
"1968" and "Gin, Smoke, Lies" are two of my favorites from Turnpike Troubadours. You might look into Eleven Hundred Springs (maybe "Every Time I get Close to You") if you like a full band sound.
Watching the way you react to music. Like a good piece of pie that you’ve smelt while it was cooking earlier and the pay off of the first bite is worth it… I get it man.
Thanks for turning me on to these guys. I really like their sound. If you haven't heard Railroad Earth yet, I'd recommend you do. Very unique mix of sounds; by very talented musicians.
Gin smoking lies, diamonds and gasoline, and before the devil knows we're dead. If you will listen to those three songs you will agree that this is the greatest band that ever walked on the face of the fu$#@ing earth
It would be awesome if they ended their indefinite hiatus to start having shows again! So many great songs to check out but I recommend: Gin, Smoke, Lies Long Hot Summer Day Every Girl 7 & 7 Easton & Main Bossier City A Tornado Warning Unrung
@@SongwriterReacts it was great, and they haven't missed a beat. The venue had about 7,500 people there singing along. I was able to go last minute because a friend's friend backed out so I got pretty lucky. Every show I tried to get tickets for the site either crashed when people were getting in line or sold out within a few min. Thank God he friend didn't go lol. Last show I saw before they stopped playing was down in Corpus during a storm. Between the music, the rain on the tin roof and people singing, it was defining. It was one of the best shows that I had ever been to.
I'm so glad I found this group! Lind of late but oh well. Their music is timeless and incredible. I love your reaction and how you catch the good parts and can appreciate the genius and powerful abilities they have in writing such good music!!
I wish he sang the chorus on the album version like he does on the live version. The “good lord lorrie I love you could it go more wrong” keeping it low and chill until the end. Makes the end more impactful and I think it sounds really cool.
One of my favorite Turnpike songs! The characters in this song are featured in a few other of their songs as well. So much to dig into with this band! For another "big sound" song of there's, you can't go wrong with "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" live!
Personally, the story in this song really struck a chord with me. I can relate of being with guys who I had made up in my head to be someone wonderful because we had fun while " barely breaking even." There is something about being young and in love with a charming, good looking rebel that your friends and family don't like. Subconsciously, you want to prevail and prove them wrong. Unfortunately, the guy turned out to be okay with drunken nights of gambling and couch surfing while the woman (it was once me!) realized that it really wasn't all that fun anymore. The rush and exhilaration of life on the edge just didn't cut it anymore. I liked this song and the musicians did a great job.
Now that you've met Lorrie you need to listen to The Mercury. So many great Turnpike songs - Every Girl, Pay No Rent, Unrung, House Fire, etc. And of course Bird Hunter but looks like you have already found that one.
The funeral is another good one by them. It was co written with Mike McClure who would also be a good one to look into (I know, I already mentioned him in an older video sorry I just love the dude)
Hi Burt! Three things: 1) I want to make sure you know that Turnpike is on an indefinite hiatus since May 2019. It's sad, but seeing you talk about seeing them live, I had to make sure you knew. 2) Next from Turnpike, check out "The Housefire"! 3) I would love to see you react to "Wildfire" by Mandolin Orange! Their entire Tiny Desk concert is amazing, but I'm told it isn't usable for reaction videos, so here's another performance of that song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CTAKdXoeOlk.html Cheers!
Evan is clean and sober and back with his wife now. He did a couple of TT songs recently with a friend's band. He sounds great. Gave no timeline for returning to the road. Fiddler Kyle Nix released his own CD last year. He's very good.
You got that right! I just saw them five days ago - Macon, GA. Atrium Health Ampitheatre. Was my first TT concert. I’m already planning to go see them again. They are an incredible live band. They had 10,000 people dancing and singing to every song. A MUST see!!
Fall Out of Love by Turnpike Troubadours has one of the best verses I've ever heard. Pure lyricism. Well you bet your heart on a diamond And I played the clubs in spades We gambled and lost Guess we both paid the cost Look what a mess I have made Well how did we fall out of love?
Empty as a Drum, Shreveport, Quit while I'm Ahead, Down Here, and every other song mentioned. So far, other than small part of Good Lord Laurie, you haven't profiled anything demonstrating his clever use if alliteration. It's genius and so catchy. BTW, how come nobody in CA have heard of these guys. I got lucky and heard Good Lord Laurie on Pandora some years ago and have been hooked ever since.
I've been listening to Turnpike for 5 years now, at least. They are one of the greatest when it comes to placing music with lyrics. Listen to the lyrics. Try playing "The Funeral."
Great song Burt. If you want to listen to the words in a different way check out Evans solo acoustic version Live from the Back Pasture. As for what song is next? There’s too damn many but 7&7, Gin Smoke & Lies, Funeral, Diamonds & Gasoline and Doreen are some crowd favs. Keep it up brother.
Hey Burt please, please do another shakey graves from the audio tree sessions. Roll the bones was really good but a couple others from that set are unbelievable. I really like built to roam and word of mouth!! If you enjoyed how intense he was in roll the bones you’ll love either of those!!
Man, I just have to say that Evan Felker is my all-time favorite songwriter of Americana or any genre. The Funeral, 7 & 7, The Birdhunters...nothing but great American short stories, brother!
Great song! Just stumbled onto your channel, love your stuff! If you haven't yet you should check out the Steeldrivers. Chris Stapleton sung at least on their first album. A couple favorites of mine are "Blue Side of the Mountain" and "If It Hadn't been for Love"
If you’re ever in the mood to react to another Colter Wall song, my recommendation would be his cover of the late Jimmie Rodgers tune “Mule Skinner Blues” (also covered by many others, most notably The Fendermen and Dolly Parton). Thanks!
First time seeing your channel but I really liked the video a guy not a lot of people know about but who writes some great songs is Adam carol and I would suggest Oklahoma Gypsy shuffler or rice birds
please excuse my being absolute but what is going on with turnpike currently I think that I heard that Evan was in some kind of rehab but he was writing and getting ready to tour again very soon
these guys live are tremendous. i got to work a handful of their shows down in baton rouge. one of my favorite things about him is he is a melody changers. that is not at all how that chorus is recorded. makes the shows very fun!
Lol like this? ME I love you babe. And don't get all weird about it Him: I know and |won't so what you going to do I am not in any kinda mind to be with anyone right know you no
