You love her. I love her. We all love her. You don't even need to react to this. Just enjoy it. Stripped down, pure Sierra rawness. Stay well!
I read that Kinky Friedman passed away today, so I decided to do a React Request for one of his songs. I picked this one because it was one of his least controversial songs. He was an author and musician among many other things, and is probably best known for his humor and satire. Some of his subject matter of his would undoubtedly make people uncomfortable but there's no denying he played a part in American culture. He's played with Willie Nelson and even inspired Nelson Mandella. There is an interview at the end of this video which you don't need to play, but please play up to the 6 min mark. RIP KINKY!
Michael,
I’ve seen you do a few bluegrass tunes but nothing yet from Molly Tuttle, a phenomenally talented musician and singer/songwriter. She is as much the future of bluegrass as Billy Strings.
This performance of Over the Line from Paste Studio on the road sessions perfectly captures the musicianship of the 4 other spectacular musicians in this clip including mandolinist Dominick Leslie, fiddle player Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, bassist Shelby Means and Jerry Douglas himself on the Dobro.
After this I encourage you to go down the Molly Tuttle rabbit hole.
Start the clip at 0:35.
Michael,
I didn't see a react video for William Fitzsimmons, so here's my suggestion. Good acoustic fingerstyle technique, and beautiful song writing. He's from around the same place as my grandparents were, and his words are so personal and heartfelt, beautiful and a gut punch all at once. Thanks.
