Lukewarm street beers rule. Sometimes I go hang out with the dude that stands in front of the liquor store. Can never understand the word he says and he's got scabs all over his nose. He's drunk from the time he wakes up from the time hepasses back out and wakes up and gets drunk again.
Sierra is actually from W.V, believe it or not. Her brother was my 1st boyfriend lol & back then she was a little girl. She was in a band 600lbs of sin with a guy I also grew up with, Josh T. & they're both (individually & together) seriously undiscovered pure magic! She was living in New Orleans last I heard, not sure about now, I think shes touring & recording an album or 2 which is AWESOME bcuz man! Her voice is something we havent heard in decades!🙌❣🎶
I hit this performance two days ago and I’ve been losing sleep searching for more and more of Sierra’s music since then. She’s ridiculously good. Haven’t been this obsessed with a musician in so long. 😍
Love that tune, especially his version....But Tod plays banjo, right? Would love to see a guitar teacher try to explain that. Not being sarcastic....I'm a guitar player and the banjo is a mystery to me.
Sierra Ferrell is a Giant! Her vocal quality covers Winehouse, Peroux, The Carters, and beyond. A rare songwriting talent as well. She obviously has experienced some big pain. Listen to as much of this lady as you can.
She's from West Virginia, not the old easy, but she's one of them who left home as a teen and lived the vagabond busker lifestyle. An exceptional talent.
Its time to re-visit Sierra and check out something from her recent liver performances. She's got herself a super tight, very solid band and you can see her genius coming through in being a band leader. It's a spectacular show. I credit this reaction video for introducing me to Sierra. Thank You Michael.
Her vocal phrasing in this is astounding. Her placement of accents on certain syllables and accurate intonation and ornamentation is so refreshing. This is a backwards pentatonic riff, yet so creatively applied. By the way, her entire new album is superb.
This is why I love TH-cam. All of these bands you've been reviewing I've found in the past few years through TH-cam. It's awesome to witness someone else find them the same way.
Reminds me SO much of Iris Dement. Her song Our Town brings me to tears because most times you just can't go back. "the sun is settin fast and just like they, nothing good ever last."
@@jeremysalmons6424 Nice! New River Gorge area here. Love Sierra. I don’t know if you’re new to @Michael Palmisano Channel but this guy is the man. Best instrumental breakdowns on youtube.
Believe he is referring to the aesthetic and where the VHS team found her, this is very much a Bywater look (scattered stencil tats, hairy pits, septum piercing ) there are hipsters everywhere but they just embody that "cool" NOLA vibe in Bywater.
Charleston, WV girl. Used to see her sing at the Empty Glass. She sang with 600 Pounds of Sin for a while. Tremendous talent and voice and had to get out of here to get some exposure. Think she moved to Nashville 5-6 years ago now. She didn’t get her “look” in Nashville, it’s been hers a long time.
Hahaha so cool to literally watch you fall in love with that woman by the end of that first verse the same way I did when I first found her 😂😂😂 Cool shit man, glad you chose to check her out 👍🏼
Sierra Ferrell is heart and soul into her productions, which is how I see them, like she’s putting on theatre. She doesn’t need big dollars to provide a quality experience, no smoke and mirrors. I’m drawn into her world in those moments. She’s a quality entertainer!
I came to know her from street performance videos, first in Seattle, then New Orleans. Unique voice and good songwriting. She moved to Nashville and worked her way into a record deal. Performs with bass and mandolin, sometimes fiddle. Love her praising and retro quirky style. Many live club date videos.
Talk about off the beaten path. I traveled all over Virginia for business over 28 years and visited Galax exactly once. Grayson County was still dry then (don’t know about now). Went to a bar/restaurant in Galax called the Broken Wagon Wheel or something like that. Seemed pretty rough - I don’t stay long.
This is wild because she’s in my friend group 😂 she’s actually based in Nashville. She’s one hell of a singer, and just as good of a dancer! Sweet gal 💜
I love Sierra Ferrell, I found her after watching Benjamin Tod's stuff. That is why I think you should pick a Benjamin Tod song, maybe "Sorry for the Things."
That was jaw dropping good. Your enthusiasm for it is so fresh. Most people would pass this by and not wait enough time to show how cool this is. I love these videos you’ve been doing and it is quickly becoming my favorite thing on the internet in general. Thanks brother, keep them coming.
This is awesome and so pure. Love the layering of the guits n’ vox. Another great artist I’d never heard of until your channel. I’m surely gonna check out her other music. Thanks, Michael.
Glad you found and like Sierra Ferrell, you will be hearing a lot more of her in the near future. She is incredible. My personal favorites are “Made like that and “The sea”
I’m Addicted to this Song , It’s Just Sooo good, It Really Takes you there even if you don’t know we’re it is , But it takes you there,if you know what I mean
I'm absolutely blown away by your skill; it's incredible how quickly and easily you're able to translate what you hear to the fret board. I'm definitely checking out your lessons. Also, spectacular run of artists you're reacting to of late.
I usually shy away from reaction videos, but you did a good job on this one. I liked the theory breakdown on the chords and what was happening throughout. I need to watch again a few times for sure, but this was great. thanks.

Yup. I had a friend like that when I lived in downtown Baltimore. You sir, get the pin.
@@Guitargate thank you my friend I appreciate that very much. ✌️😀✌️

600 lbs. of sin is a line from a Grateful Dead song called Dire Wolf. Love that you have a connection to this amazing young woman.
So glad she beat her heroin addiction! So many young people don’t. Love her!
You're the man for listening to all of our requests. Gotta do NICK SHOULDERS - RATHER LOW
Just heard that song, its great. Listening to all his stuff now
Yes!
Yes!
Snakes and waterfalls is also good!!
@@jcpatton720 I second snakes and waterfalls th-cam.com/video/3I7ME1oacMA/w-d-xo.html
I am obsessed with that performance. Sierra is a gift and has to be protected at all costs!!!
I hit this performance two days ago and I’ve been losing sleep searching for more and more of Sierra’s music since then. She’s ridiculously good. Haven’t been this obsessed with a musician in so long. 😍
Benjamin Tod - The Mountain
It’s a cover but my god is it a masterpiece
Everything Ben does is gold.
is that the gentleman with a broken arrow on his neck?
John Smith it is
Love that tune, especially his version....But Tod plays banjo, right?
Would love to see a guitar teacher try to explain that.
Not being sarcastic....I'm a guitar player and the banjo is a mystery to me.
Ben is one of the most talented and underrated musicians in country real country music

You just watched a man's heart swept away by Sierra Ferrell and his life will never be the same. Same thing that happens to anyone who sees her play.
You're going through bascially my ten most watched artists over the last year. Quite a few great artists on the GemsonVHS channel.
Definitely a solid group of artists on the Gems channel
Love some Matt Heckler and Benjamin Todd
@@nathanr3432 That version of "Blue Eyes Dancing" is one of my favorites. And Lost Dog Street Band is a hell of a group too.
Bopflix is good too. That's where I first saw Sierra do a solo version of In Dreams.
@@technoboarder27 I love Matt heckler so much 🥺
She just won best upcoming artist in Americana Music Awards
The jewel of WV! This woman dominated my music ingestion in 2022!
Sierra Ferrell - Rosemary
completely different vibe than this one but her voice just fits into so many different feeling songs.
absolute must watch
one of my favorites hope he checks this one out
I especially love her performance of it at the Gladden House session here on TH-cam (timestamp @14:15)
Yup that's a dang good song

Literally any of the gems on vhs artists will be good. That site is a gold mine. Check out Benjamin Todd or lost dog street band
MrRoboto I’d pay to upvote this 100 time. Lost Dog hits DEEP. Excellent song writer and even better story between Ben and Ashley.
Yes please!
Leave link to something!
th-cam.com/video/FI214Jezxxw/w-d-xo.html this one isnt Benjamin todd but goddamn is it good. I would love to see a vid on this
He has covered Benjamin Tod before, I'm not 100% sure about The Lost Dog Street Band, but yeah
Sierra is from my home state of WV. She is amazing!
Yep, from Kanawaha County. WV. That is my home state too.
Huntington here !!!! Proud
I’m from Tyler County, that is so awesome she’s from WV. It’s even crazier that I share the same last name. I’m honored haha.
I love when we have good ambassadors of our state (i’m from martinsburg)
Id like to acknowledge the guy playing with her. His guitar gives this song much more
The second guitar player is Joseph Faison. He's an incredible banjo player: th-cam.com/video/A40M5_vM06c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vXsXmrcQkb-vcOeF
Her vocal phrasing in this is astounding. Her placement of accents on certain syllables and accurate intonation and ornamentation is so refreshing. This is a backwards pentatonic riff, yet so creatively applied. By the way, her entire new album is superb.
I have been trying unsuccessfully to turn my friends on to her. It's good to see I'm not the only one who digs her tunes.
Sounds like you need some new friends 😂
I'm 74 and she swept over me like a tidal wave. I'll learn as many of her songs as I can.
@@williameason1194 I am 65, live in Australia and I am a big fan to.
My buddy turned me on to her yesterday.... AFTER he just saw her last week in Memphis. My Bad Sierra. Never again. I'll be there next time:)
Hah people we introduced another fella to the good old gemsonvhs artists. This man now starts to go down a very beautiful rabbit hole
She is unreal. I’m so glad I got to hang out with her in the beer line after she opened for a shakey graves show.
Ugh, Sierra is a national treasure. There's no one out there today with her voice- so pure.
Agrrreeed.
Sierra Ferrell "Elk River Blues"
There's a fiddle accompanying her and damn is it nice.
"Rosemary" and "Jeremiah" are also worth checking out.
I like " The New West Virginia Waltz" also. She is just marvelous !
Sierra's from West Virginia. Raw and real. Love her stuff.
I found her surfing youtube about 2 months ago.... just totally taken it and hooked.
Sierra is definitely from West Virginia & has always had an amazing sound & has always had a love for room temp PBR 😂
She is amazing. Set on the front row last year in Asheville mesmerized the whole time.
Discovered her recently, and now I cannot stop watching her in videos. She is magical.
This is why I love TH-cam. All of these bands you've been reviewing I've found in the past few years through TH-cam. It's awesome to witness someone else find them the same way.
The sounds they get from them funky old Kays!!!
I love the look of Appreciatetion you show as you listen the this marvellous talent. Shows a true love of good music.
Reminds me SO much of Iris Dement. Her song Our Town brings me to tears because most times you just can't go back. "the sun is settin fast and just like they, nothing good ever last."
I want to see the reaction of Billy Stings cover of “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright”
ME2🙉🙈🙊🐱🐈
Who ever made/edited that music video needs a raise/promotion. Such a cool video!
All of Gems on VHS videos are amazing
I heard her at a live venue once from another room in the establishment and her voice drew my ear like a magnet.
I Love seeing you do some Sierra Farrell!
West Virginia Girl!!
Dewd fell in lub
Wv here too
@@jeremysalmons6424 Nice! New River Gorge area here. Love Sierra.
I don’t know if you’re new to @Michael Palmisano Channel but this guy is the man. Best instrumental breakdowns on youtube.
I'm pretty sure she's from West Virginia
Nate BAMA she is from West Virginia . Around the Charleston area.
Believe he is referring to the aesthetic and where the VHS team found her, this is very much a Bywater look (scattered stencil tats, hairy pits, septum piercing ) there are hipsters everywhere but they just embody that "cool" NOLA vibe in Bywater.
She lives in Nashville, but IS from West Virginia originally yes.
Charleston, WV girl. Used to see her sing at the Empty Glass. She sang with 600 Pounds of Sin for a while. Tremendous talent and voice and had to get out of here to get some exposure. Think she moved to Nashville 5-6 years ago now. She didn’t get her “look” in Nashville, it’s been hers a long time.
Yes she grew up in and around Charleston. I knew her years ago.
Hahaha so cool to literally watch you fall in love with that woman by the end of that first verse the same way I did when I first found her 😂😂😂
Cool shit man, glad you chose to check her out 👍🏼
She is amazing...fun to watch someone see her for the first time...
I've been following her for a couple of years on TH-cam. Maybe longer. She's an amazing artist.
Elk River Blues (on the paddle steamer) is my fave Sierra track.
Soooooooo happy you did this. She's amazing
check out Benjamin Tod. there's so much emotion in his voice
Booom: th-cam.com/video/2AiyDYV_P3Y/w-d-xo.html
Man this is one of my favorite songs. I cant believe ppl mentioned it to u. It's good to know there are ppl like me
She just did red rocks! Amazing ascendency.
Sierra Ferrell is heart and soul into her productions, which is how I see them, like she’s putting on theatre. She doesn’t need big dollars to provide a quality experience, no smoke and mirrors. I’m drawn into her world in those moments. She’s a quality entertainer!
honorable mention to light foot tapping, mic'd just right.
I came to know her from street performance videos, first in Seattle, then New Orleans. Unique voice and good songwriting. She moved to Nashville and worked her way into a record deal. Performs with bass and mandolin, sometimes fiddle. Love her praising and retro quirky style. Many live club date videos.
I love Sierra Ferrell. Do more of her stuff
Just saw her plaay in Galax, Virgina and she has one of the best voices in all of country music imo. So thoroughly appalachian.
Talk about off the beaten path. I traveled all over Virginia for business over 28 years and visited Galax exactly once. Grayson County was still dry then (don’t know about now). Went to a bar/restaurant in Galax called the Broken Wagon Wheel or something like that. Seemed pretty rough - I don’t stay long.
Very cool. It’s that old school vocal like it’s inspired by an old record in tonality. Very cool! 😎
Wow! Blown away.
She is a force of nature!
I'm from Sweden and love Sierra Ferrell and her music, saw her on a Swedish program from Nashvill, "Jills Veranda"
No wayyyy i love this girl
i can't explain what she does, but can feel it in my soul... it's good there's folks who can explain it; thanks, Michael :)
Sierra just sweeps you up with her eclectic and unique style. I love watching and hearing her perform. Gifted and talented for sure!
I love sierra sm. I’m also from wv and her music takes me back from when I was a kiddo.
This is wild because she’s in my friend group 😂 she’s actually based in Nashville. She’s one hell of a singer, and just as good of a dancer! Sweet gal 💜
She is the real deal.

Love how much this guy is loving this song.
Good stuff man. I STILL don’t know what’s she’s doing. Haha. She is simply BRILLIANT.

insanely good. Ive discovered so much good music because of you. Thanks for all you do!
Great video. Your excitement in hearing for the first time and the joy of what you found burst through your expression lovely singing.
This video may not be getting much love but I’m glad people recommended her to you!
You have got to listen to rosemary by her that I feel in my opinion is a great display of her talents and the story told is something else
So impressed you gave Sierra a look on your channel. This girl is special.
She's amazing God bless her 👏👏👏
My favorite female country singer.. so raw and soulful
Just discovered her and saw you made a video. SHE ROCKS
Lost dog street band. Either September doves or terrible and true.
Or When I Went Down To Georgia! My personal favorite by them.
I will endorse any Lost Dog Street band here
September Doves is a favorite. Any song of theirs. Literally any. And the live versions
To heaven from here. Any LDSB!
Using again a good one. Helps if you’ve been where bens at with The nature of this song
That look on your face is the same reaction most of us have had as we listen to SF
Benjamin Tod - "The Mountain" PLEASE!!!
She is amazing!
I’m Addicted to this Song , It’s Just Sooo good, It Really Takes you there even if you don’t know we’re it is , But it takes you there,if you know what I mean
i love her voice
Love the energy and genuine reaction! First time catching this channel but been digging Sierra Ferrel for a bit. Great energy and watch!
I love how his comment section brought him down the rabbit hole of new old school country music.
It’s a good rabbit hold me in
Thank you very much. This is helping me develop my own taste, and theory. God Bless.
Great comment here. I've been playing for years and can honestly say she's done the same for me.
GemsONVHS and WesternAF are the two islands were all the good things are in store.
This is good stuff you do. It reminds me of when I was first learning guitar, and we would pick apart songs, bands, and albums for hours. Great stuff
Sierra has the best voice - gives me goosebumps! Such a storyteller :)
I'm absolutely blown away by your skill; it's incredible how quickly and easily you're able to translate what you hear to the fret board. I'm definitely checking out your lessons. Also, spectacular run of artists you're reacting to of late.
She has the most spectacular voice. I can listen to it all day. But also. incredible musicianship. This lady and her band should be stars.
I usually shy away from reaction videos, but you did a good job on this one. I liked the theory breakdown on the chords and what was happening throughout. I need to watch again a few times for sure, but this was great. thanks.
Seeing this guy lean into parts of the song just like I did where you are like, oh wow, that's a nice surprise again and again.
I got goosebumps when I first saw that video and she looked into the camera ... I KNEW it was for me that look ;) hahaha...
i agree %1000 that was dope!
she's been one of y favorites for awhile now, so unique.
Love it
Finding out so many amazing artists from your channel. One of the good things happening in this lockdown .
This song kills me. I tear up sometimes it's so damned beautiful. Love this girl.
