Short Life of Trouble - Sam Shackleton, Frank Fairfield & Zac Sokolow

It was an honour to play this old American folk ballad called “Short Life of Trouble” with two of my favourite musicians and new pals, Frank Fairfield and ‪@ZacSokolow‬. This video was filmed a few weeks ago in Frank’s beautiful home in Los Angeles. We began the night by drinking lots of Mezcal and eating good food at Zac’s friend Chief’s house listening to the lovely music of La Santa Cecilia and the California Feet Warmers. We then headed over to Franks place where we played tunes like this into the wee hours in his garage. It was a class night, and one of my favourite memories from the two months I just spent touring over in the USA! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🪕🇺🇸
Make sure to check out and stream Frank Fairfield and Zac Sokolow’s music and Zac’s class band LA LOM. Until next time lads, cheers! 🤘

I can't express how much I love this

[@billyjoel-k3d]

Have you done a recording of Shady Grove on guitar? I think it would be a fun tune to hear from you.

Been coming back to this since i first heard it, makes me feel melancholic as hell. Goes great with a good whiskey.

[@cormackjames]

I need to try 5 string again, I always wanted a Tenor Banjo, not too easy to find in states. Love your music Sam, makes me homesick, some of the best folk I have ever heard from Scotland.

Tell Zac he's missed. It's been awhile since he's uploaded music

[@Marco-cy8mg]

You’ve got to bring this out on Spotify Sam

Heya Sam. Much love for your tunes and renditions.
I wonder - what is the saddest song you've ever heard and could we get a cover of it?
