I have seen St. Paul several times including a small 50 person private show where he sang a song about his grandfather and he completely broke down and had to leave the room. It was heart-wrenching and endearing.
Have had the pleasure of following these fellow Birmingham/North Alabama natives since 2013. At their early shows they would play originals for the first set, then cover an old album for the second set. First time I saw them they played through Otis Redding's Blue album top to bottom. Didn't miss a note. Unreal.
@@Guitargate You are welcome. Keep it up! I have learned to appreciate music in a new way, listen to it with fresh ears, and find joy in the smaller details because of you.
Fun little fact, Browan Lollar used to play in Jason Isbell’s 400 Unit and painted the cover art for several of Isbell’s early albums. Definitely an under appreciated guitarist and a genuinely nice guy, as is Paul and the rest of the band.
I caught them on NPR tiny desk in 2014 and was blown away. Perfect soul chords and what a vocal delivery on this tune. The whole session here is incredible and epic.
Love that performance! I would've loved to have been there personally. That BIG sound in such an intimate setting would have been killer! They let it all hang out.
@@OoavastoO If you have a chance to see them perform in person... DO IT! Great Band and Paul works the ENTIRE Room... including singing up in the balcony section.
I saw these guys open for Jason Isbell at The Ryman like 6 years ago. It was my first time seeing Jason Isbell, first time ever hearing them, and first time at The Ryman. It was possibly the best concert experience I’ve ever been to.
I saw this band on MTV Live a few years ago and immediately fell in love with the band!!! Real music still exist in the 21st century!!!! Great video Mike!!!🎸🎸👍🏾
I love how excited and how you geek out over the technical aspects. I find listening to songs I would never listen to just because of the intricacies your able to pull out
St. Paul and the Broken Bones converted the unbelievers in attendance at Byron Bay Bluesfest in 2019. We look forward to touching the hem of his garment again one day. God willing!
The first time I heard these guys (2014), I was working at the venue for one of their shows. This guy in a baggy Nirvana t-shirt walks up on stage during soundcheck. Figured he was a tech/crew or something. Then he starts singing and my mind was blown.
We love Paul! The whole band is an awesome talent! They sound just as good live! We go them every time they come back. The end their tour in south bama and we dance in the streets all night
Love St paul my favourite band ever, soo good!! Browan is an awesome guitarist too... I got a couple guitar lessons from him and he's such a great guy and is a mad influence on my guitar playing. Love em!!
LOVE this band. I first discovered them a few years ago. Pure, uncut soul. And Paul taking us to church with those pipes! OH those pipes! (His sound reminds me soooo much of Otis Redding.) You can feel every emotion. Lastly, there are not enough bands with good horn sections these days. It adds so much body. Great band.
Ever since last Tuesday I've been listening to these guys and sharing them with anyone who would listen. Just an incredible band. Props to whoever it was that requested this on the stream. We having a stream tomorrow or are we all going to be hunkered down and drinking our fears away as the returns roll in?
Paul absolutely brought the house down with this song when I saw them at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa a few years ago. Seriously one of the best concerts ever.
I saw them live in Lexington. They were great. He walked the crowd at one point and he slapped me a high five. I had never heard them before, but I was blown away.
Call me From the same session is amazing as well. This Album is one that finds its way onto my turntable numerous times throughout the week. The entire record is just killer.
St. Paul fits into the same category as Colter Wall - surprising when you first hear the guy’s voice. These guys killed at Levitate Festival in 2019 when on a scorching hot day Paul was wearing a full length mink type black cape or coat and he was awesome.
I love your channel man. I learn so much more. I not only learn the song but the “why”. So much better for a musician to understand why and how and not just the song. Keep it up man
These guys are easily top 5 live shows I've ever seen. Chicago Lollapalooza back in 2015. His in-ear monitor went out, but he waved off the sound guy regardless. He felt everything down to his soul. It was damn perfect
@@tommathews3964 thank you, hadn’t seen this one till now. Am slowly watching their performances. It’s like when I find a new author, everyone been reading for years, now I get to savor book by book-same for St. Paul. Well let’s see what this Tuesday’s Tunes brings!
@@gracie2298 I so much agree! Like when I found Billy Stings, I was like where the heck have I been?! I'm the same with authors too! I live in the Birmingham area, so I was lucky to get on the St Paul train pretty early on. Alabama Shakes too. Enjoy! And yes, we will look forward to Tuesday!
@@tommathews3964 It’s Strings? For being 28 voice sounds a lot older. Have always enjoyed a Banjo, since that hellacious movie! Missing Alabama Shakes, she went out in her own, still enjoy her voice, she’s experimenting with all genres and mixing them together. Priority now is not to end up on ventilator, can’t believe we all are experiencing this, point try not to spend time on Want My 🤬 Life Back, but the thought of a concert outside, on a blanket, great munchies, no bugs, filters in & out of my mind. I read early fall Walmart was doing drive in movies in some locations. Me said throw concerts up that have been filmed & no people will want to get and move so distance the cars. So in the mean time shall be grateful that I found Michael P. & Tuesday’s segment is finding new artists for me. Now a bonus you responding to my comment. So on Tuesday’s Tunes ( that’s my name for it so I might remember to turn on TH-cam), will you be going by your name Tom or one of those must hide behind, which just tickles me? Have a great weekend!
@@gracie2298 Yes, it's "Strings" of course. My fingers move faster than my brain sometimes, I guess. Brittany swears The Shakes aren't over, but I'm not so sure. Hope not! Speaking of voices that are off the charts, and groups that fly under the radar, do you know the group "Lake Street Dive" ? The lead singer, Rachel Price, is an exceptional talent. I'm a jam band/rock/soul guy, so this music is not usually on my radar, but good stuff is good stuff, wherever you find it. If you don't know them try this. Lots of good stuff on YT.........th-cam.com/video/NNCwoT96lZU/w-d-xo.html
I would watch Paul sing without a band, on Sunday over football, or on any and every Tuesday Night Live show... best pick we've had since Sean Costello :-) Thank you Michael!
I saw these guys in Lexington, KY a few years back. The guitarist had amazing tone and they put on a hell of a show. But seriously, where's the Punch Brothers reaction, Michael?!?!?! Lol.
Such a soulful singer... I feel like a Jamaican watching the Jamaican Bobsled team racing the downhill during the Olympics. They should not be able to do this... but they do it so damn well!
I saw them last year but have been listening to them for years,I was going to see them at Red Rocks with the Tedeschi Trucks band's Wheels of Soul Tour in July ,but Covid happened as far as I know 2021 I still got tickets.
Saw St Paul and The Broken Bones in 2011 or 2012 open for John Mayer in Tuscaloosa before their first album released. Wasn't familiar with them at the time since I was in high school and hadn't started exploring the local scene for the most part. But as you'd expect, they killed it that day. Glad to see you reacting to their stuff. They deserve all of the recognition they've gotten and some.
I love these videos. I have no clue what you are explaining because I can’t play guitar but have always loved it. I’ve been enjoying hearing bands I’ve never heard of before and your enthusiasm of explaining things are great.
Love this so much! I've gotten to see them twice now, and they are tied with the tedeschi trucks band as the best concerts ever. I had tickets to see them tour together before covid, which would have been an absolute dream
Follow up comment: I saw a quote from the singer (Paul Janeway, in case anyone is curious) where he said that it's really hard for him not to sing like it's his last day on earth. It really shows.
@@Guitargate hey Michael, check out their song Broken Bones and Pocket Change. They do it in the cumberland caverns. it is amazing. I've been diggin on these guys for a few years now. But that song is pure soul.
Love your videos and SP&BB!! Could you please consider reacting to their other song "Hurricanes"? It is by far my favorite song of all time and although I have no formal musical training, I imagine it would be an interesting song to dissect in the incredible way you do!
I'm in Avondale Brewery, Birmingham AL, in about 2013 or 14 (?) and I hear the buzz about the live band they are going to have. I'm sitting minding my own brew with a couple of fiends, when they break into "Call Me" and I had my official "Oh Holy Shit!" moment! Now, as a southern kid who grew up in the 60s, this is right up my alley! It was a memorable night, to say the least! I was lucky enough to catch them and Alabama Shakes together in Tuscaloosa, and that's a lot to take in at once! Sometimes, when you have such a powerful vocal presence, the band's musicianship gets overlooked, as could be the case with Paul and The Bones, but they are excellent players! Here's "Call Me" give it a listen! th-cam.com/video/z7s9A3s8iv8/w-d-xo.html
Please do a REACT video to Philip Sayce "Alchemy" live in 2018!!! I posted it on the guitar gate website on Oct 23rd too. Just because a lifetime member and would love to hear you break down this performance!
Retro soul has been a nice movement over the last 10 years or so. St Paul, Sharon Jones, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Paperboy Reed, Leon Bridges, Alabama Shakes, etc.
All the music videos you breakdown are all in favourites list and that makes me think my odd eclectic taste in music isn’t as bad as some of my friends and coworkers think. 👍👍

Paula's my second cousin. His grandfather was a good man. Hard-working individual. His nickname was bulldog.

At their early shows they would play originals for the first set, then cover an old album for the second set. First time I saw them they played through Otis Redding's Blue album top to bottom.

I'm so jealous
My absolute favorite channel on youtube. Your Joy and love for music is contagious.
Thanks!!
@@Guitargate You are welcome. Keep it up! I have learned to appreciate music in a new way, listen to it with fresh ears, and find joy in the smaller details because of you.
I was just going to say basically the same thing! His passion and giddiness is infectious!
Sounds like a Chris Stapleton anthem!
Amazing
He was a bank teller prior to this band, could you imagine going to a local club and seeing your bank teller singing like this, holy smokes
That would be f###ing amazing
I saw these guys last Monday Night, Blew the roof off the place. This band should be the biggest in the country
Finally someone reacts to St. Paul!!! Absolutely love these guys they're so under-appreciated!
Fun little fact, Browan Lollar used to play in Jason Isbell’s 400 Unit and painted the cover art for several of Isbell’s early albums. Definitely an under appreciated guitarist and a genuinely nice guy, as is Paul and the rest of the band.
Brown is such a nice lad
Chad Fisher the trombone player did too.
I didn’t know he played with Jason Isbell. That makes absolute sense.
Love that band. Great choice.

Mr golden shoes on top of the tiny desk. Amazing performance!😀🙌

So far I 100% agree with everything I've heard from you... But, But listen to these guys they have SO MUCH SOUL I 100% chill with Paul StClare

That is a really well written comment. “Touching the hem of his garment” that’s pure gold. Thank you.
@@Ollie9mm Thank you, if I could I would attend the Church of St. Paul and the Broken Bones regularly.
Ha! Yes! Glad to have shared the tent with you.
The first time I heard these guys (2014), I was working at the venue for one of their shows. This guy in a baggy Nirvana t-shirt walks up on stage during soundcheck. Figured he was a tech/crew or something. Then he starts singing and my mind was blown.
Saw them at Pisgah Brewing in 2018 and will never forget that concert. We were all moved deeply.
We love Paul! The whole band is an awesome talent! They sound just as good live! We go them every time they come back. The end their tour in south bama and we dance in the streets all night
Man your face says it all. Glad your found this treasure
Basically exactly what I expected from you seeing the force of nature that is St Paul
Love St paul my favourite band ever, soo good!! Browan is an awesome guitarist too... I got a couple guitar lessons from him and he's such a great guy and is a mad influence on my guitar playing. Love em!!
Best live show you'll ever go to.

You can feel every emotion. Lastly, there are not enough bands with good horn sections these days. It adds so much body. Great band.
FINALLY a reaction that actually understands and defines, I like this dudes passion for what he's hearing.

I saw them live in Lexington. They were great. He walked the crowd at one point and he slapped me a high five. I had never heard them before, but I was blown away.
That was transformative. I had the privilege to see them in a fairly intimate standing room setting in NYC and it was fantastic. Thanks for this.
Oozing with soul.
Awesome, brother 🎸🔥
Call me From the same session is amazing as well. This Album is one that finds its way onto my turntable numerous times throughout the week. The entire record is just killer.
When you search the band and find out they are from your home town! Nice.

I was there, too. The heat was unbearable. Couldn't believe the energy he brought that day! He and TTB were the highlights for me.
what a band, and boy can he sing
These guys are from my state Birmingham, Alabama this is what real soulful music sounds like
I watch this channel for 3 reasons:
1) Guitar tips
2) Find new music
3) Watch your reactions to the videos
Always great stuff man
Nerdy blues. Love it!
I love this song and particularly this live version! Everything is spot on! This is song 🎵 Perfection 🥰 💞
I love your channel man. I learn so much more. I not only learn the song but the “why”. So much better for a musician to understand why and how and not just the song. Keep it up man
His guitar player is Jason Isbell's original guitarist, and also from my area
Simply Timeless...
Paul is surreal and the guitarist knows how to make the magic happen.
These guys are easily top 5 live shows I've ever seen. Chicago Lollapalooza back in 2015. His in-ear monitor went out, but he waved off the sound guy regardless. He felt everything down to his soul. It was damn perfect
I've loved these guys since I saw them live on the Old David Letterman Talk show!
My music playlist is built on his reaction videos!
I just watched the truck driver video with the same IV to iv change. Very clean!
I saw them and heard them for the first time ever - LIVE in Nashville on the lawn of our capital. What a freaking band!!!
Love that Reverend the guitarist is rocking.
Yesss! Asked for this a while ago, thought it had been forgotten. Knew you’d eventually get around to it. Raw talent.
He’s my new go to guy this week! Love Tuesday’s, I find another artist to listen to.

I never get tired of seeing Michael with his ear to ear grin!! Love it!!
Holding out on that Morning Dew from Cornell '77? Don't blame yo been listening for 35 years and still find nuggets, Masterpiece!
Soooooooooonnn
One of my all time favorite songs... so glad you found it
How have I missed these guys? Wow thanks for the introduction! Probably the same way u felt about Ian Thornley
Such a soulful singer... I feel like a Jamaican watching the Jamaican Bobsled team racing the downhill during the Olympics. They should not be able to do this... but they do it so damn well!
GREAT BAND (all way 'round)... especially seeing them in concert. It was a FANTASTIC experience!
Finally! Somebody that really appreciates my favorite band! 👏👏👏👏
I saw them live 2 years ago and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to
I saw them last year but have been listening to them for years,I was going to see them at Red Rocks with the Tedeschi Trucks band's Wheels of Soul Tour in July ,but Covid happened as far as I know 2021 I still got tickets.
Yep, it's on the schedule for July 30th and 31st, 2021... I'll be there on the 30th!
Damn Michael - this is some soulful stuff!!! I love it! Another band I’ve been turned on to - thanks!
I love this train ride we are all on!!!!!!
Saw St Paul and The Broken Bones in 2011 or 2012 open for John Mayer in Tuscaloosa before their first album released. Wasn't familiar with them at the time since I was in high school and hadn't started exploring the local scene for the most part. But as you'd expect, they killed it that day.

I’ve been watching a ton of reaction videos of this song. Be sure to check out broken bones and pocket change. It’s got some insane runs!
Amazing. Thank you for turning me on to so many different types of music. I would love to repay and recommend Patrick Droney ""Ruined".
Yes!!!! Been waiting for this one! Michael you're the man!
9:19 Browan Lollar and the band kick it into a different gear. So fun. What a band! Big fan. Burgeoning guitarist😆
I can almost guarantee every one of my favorite bands is on your channel
Love this band....ran across their debut album years ago and it's heavy in my ride's cd rotation
Thanks for reacting!
Always! Love your channel & the artists you showcase
Love this so much! I've gotten to see them twice now, and they are tied with the tedeschi trucks band as the best concerts ever. I had tickets to see them tour together before covid, which would have been an absolute dream

Awesome live band. Paul is an incredible showman.
Your passion and knowledge are super engaging
I saw these at Newport folk festival a few years ago and wish I had stayed for the whole perfomance unfortunately we had to be somewhere else
This is so reminiscent of the Otis Redding progressions. That and Paolo Nutini's walk downs
Please do St Paul & The Broken Bones - Broken Bones and Pocket Change.
Yes! And "Call Me" th-cam.com/video/z7s9A3s8iv8/w-d-xo.html
Great tune!
Perhaps you're wondering if they can bring it live. Oh, yeah.
Keep nerding out! Love it!
Finally a St Paul video!
Love these guys, your enthusiastic interaction. Hadn't heard you before Fil Henley and you did "In at the Deep End."
Browan Lollar is a fantastic guitarist.
I'm about 90% convinced at this point that Paul Janeway is just channelling Otis.
This is my buddies brothers band
Right on!! Tell them they’re loved big time

Broken bones absolutely RIPS
I needed this today ... shut the gate - turn the lights down ... the pork is phat and sweet in this here cook out...oh my lord...
Look up their set at hardly strictly bluegrass festival, great live band!
I'm up to playing Tambourines and Maracas 👳♂️🎸👍
some of 'Bama's finest. I wish they played down here more for a band from Birmingham they NEVER play here.
WOW!
These guys are from the same area I'm from. You ought to try and get tickets for their shows when they're in town. Ridiculous
BHAM.
I'll take that back this is just real music
I'm in Avondale Brewery, Birmingham AL, in about 2013 or 14 (?) and I hear the buzz about the live band they are going to have.

These bands need to be taking over radio. Real musicianship
Yes sir!
They use too many chords for radio (except NPR stations)
@@lorikislack1504 sensory overload
Retro soul has been a nice movement over the last 10 years or so. St Paul, Sharon Jones, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Paperboy Reed, Leon Bridges, Alabama Shakes, etc.
saw them live two weeks ago and it was mind altering! like watching a preacher bring a man to God lol
All the music videos you breakdown are all in favourites list and that makes me think my odd eclectic taste in music isn’t as bad as some of my friends and coworkers think. 👍👍
