Michael, I've never really enjoyed country. Then I found this song and Jackson Dean. I know that this song is not muscially complicated. That said, this chord progression (with a capo and without) is incredibly effective and used by songwriters all the time. Why is it so effective and so emotional? Also, this picking pattern - any chance you can help a brother out?
Hey Michael! Don't think I've ever seen these gents on your channel. This song just came up on my Tidal mix. I listened to these guys a ton when I was a teen. Great trio. I always loved his guitar work. Hope you enjoy it!
I wanted to share this song because it has a really unique vocal melody and great lyrics that I couldn't get out of my head. Stripped down it's a folk song, but add on a backup band with a pedal steel guitar and you have some great alt-country -- whatever that means. Incidentally, the drummer is Spencer Tweedy, son of alt-country legend Jeff Tweedy. (Sorry for the lame "alt-country classic" clickbait attempt, but I wanted to get this song stuck in your head like it was stuck in mind. )
Such a beautiful song full of tasteful and creative licks from David Rawlings. He seems to find those dissonant in-between notes at just the right moments. I really want to learn how to do that better and would love to see you break this one down. Appreciate all you do to help us on the path thanks!
