NPR put's it beautifully: "But if The Lone Bellow breaks big, which seems like a decent possibility, it'll be with songs of survival and redemption, written out of necessity rather than opportunity."
I am an old man, raised on Broonzy, Johnson, Eaglin, Leadbelly, Ray Charles and suchlike. Not much has come down the Pike since then to move me at first hearing the way those source singers did - that is until Lone Bellow showed up. they are authentic in a way that defies description and I can only thank them for the joy they bring. Now they must survive the vicissitudes of fame and greedy acolytes. For all our sakes I pray they can hold out, stay happy and keep the flame. with love, respect and thanks . . .
THEY JUST TOOK ME TO CHURCH BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!! I’m sweatin with him! How can something be SO GOOD and not be more widely known?????? Damn! I’m out of breath watchin and listening y’all ! 😅🙏
Just heard this cut on CBC radio. Had to stop everything to listen, and I am a professional musician and producer these thirty years and more. Wow. So good.
Your music, this song, this album...replanted the seed to play. It took me a long while since, but I've been playing almost every day the last couple years. Thank you with all my heart.
This song is gospel-funk-country at its best. It is what I crave when I (and buddies are) am chilling. The Lone Bellow - you are god damn musical geniuses.
song ends: "you got it that time". My response "Yeah, you sure ****ing did". Whew! Pure talent all around. I can't wait for more material from this band.
Wow. Just when you thought there was never going to be any more good "new" music... such a refreshing infusion of old and new, blues, folk, etc comes to life here! Very raw, no computer electronic fake pop music. Excellent!
Saw them on PBS clip in Boston, and that one song had me hooked. They are infectious with their energy, passion, soul. i can't even classify their style -- other than FANTASTIC! Bluesy is the best I can come up with. Haven't listened to any group recently that makes me go searching for them.
absolutely loved every single element of this. from the harmonies, to the choice of instruments, the lyrics of the song, the emotion, director's vision and overall passion for creating. beautiful!
+Tharon Lawson Hahaha :) There's really so much good music out there (and bad) that it is hard for the best to cut through the noise and get the plays they deserve.
This is just the greatest! Such passion and beauty! I love how the middle singer basically loses himself, and then snaps 'awake' after the song is finished! More people need to know about this great music!!
How did I not know of this band before? I've been listening to Tenth Avenue North for years, and I can't believe Mike's sister had a great band like that and I never looked it up. I should've found this sooner!
every time i hear this i harmonize and belt it out. even if i'm in public. I LOVE how the video is just them actually playing and vocally performing live...beautiful.... "You could calm a storm with your tone And the way you sing, makes the mocking bird hold The grass you walk on, gives way Saying please, please, come back this way"
Jese this guy sings with such EMOTION. He's dripping with sweat by the end of this video. I can practically feel him screaming at my face right in front of me. But hey, that's what makes him/them AWESOME.
Only heard a bit of this song while watching The Walking Dead and it immediately grabbed at me. Can't stop listening. Hope to see them live someday. Amazing how a song can make you weep and smile at the same time.
Saw them at the Buckle Up Music Festival in Cincinnati last year. Have both Albums and plan on seeing them the 2 times they are scheduled to come to town this year. Great Tunes, Harmony and Heart. Love these Guys.
I like the raw "live" session approach, it very effectively conveys the power. But what I really REALLY like is your Tiny Desk Concert set -- that thing is even more raw (recorded with 1 stereo mic), and I think the performance really shines. Thanks for sharing your music!
Heard this band when they opened for Brandi Carlile. They certainly gained fans and praise(well deserved) and they're a great compliment to Brandi's style. I wish they would stick with Brandi in future shows because both bands compliment each other so well. The show was amazing!
Absolutely beautiful
8 years later and I still listen to this song 50 times a Mounth
Why isn't this song on the radio? I saw this band on a PBS special and got upset because I'd never heard of them before.

Ridiculously good. Can't stop listening. Can't stop watching. What a treat.
❤❤❤ this Old song
THEY JUST TOOK ME TO CHURCH BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!! I’m sweatin with him! How can something be SO GOOD and not be more widely known?????? Damn! I’m out of breath watchin and listening y’all ! 😅🙏
I stumbled upon Dried Up River… fell in love instantly and now there isn’t a day that goes by I don’t play their music. True Gems!
Aching, poetic expression of love or lust or total admiration delivered beautifully by masters. Absolute treat.
great new find :D
With bands like this, my faith in music is returning.
Brilliance

"You could calm a storm with your tone
Yeah the way you sing makes a mockingbird hum" Love it!
He's lost, lost inside the music. Nothing else matters until he comes back out of it at 4:46. Amazing.
This song is gospel-funk-country at its best. It is what I crave when I (and buddies are) am chilling. The Lone Bellow - you are god damn musical geniuses.

DAMN he can sing
Now THIS is Country Music.
It’s more than nice
Wow. Just when you thought there was never going to be any more good "new" music... such a refreshing infusion of old and new, blues, folk, etc comes to life here! Very raw, no computer electronic fake pop music. Excellent!
They have the BEST Live show ever. So much energy and electricity flowing through the crowd! I could listen forever.
Love, love, love their music!

Shovels & Rope, and now these guys. Life is good.
IMMEDIATELY dwnloaded after their Conan performance and have listened in awe ever since.
This guy voice is incredible u don't find voices like this often WOW!
Wow! These guys are the real deal. Even in small settings they deliver. His voice is to to die. Love the harmonies too! Job well done!
HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MILLIONS OF VIEWS?!?!?! IM SO AMAZED BY THIS GROUP!
The harmonies are spot on. Fantastic song by fantastic people 💚👌
absolutely loved every single element of this. from the harmonies, to the choice of instruments, the lyrics of the song, the emotion, director's vision and overall passion for creating. beautiful!
This guy will be a grammy award winner soon enough. What a fabulous voice and sound. An overnight favorite.
that theres not 100 million views on this is a shame. people dont appreciate good music anymo....aaaand im old
+Tharon Lawson Hahaha :) There's really so much good music out there (and bad) that it is hard for the best to cut through the noise and get the plays they deserve.
Hadn't heard of the band, but going to see them in Glasgow tonight as part of Celtic Connections. Gonna be a good one.
I love this. Chills up and down my spine every time I listen to it.
This band is new to me, EXCELLENT. So glad I found them here.
Keep up the live recordings! Those of us who love music will never get tired of them!
This is just the greatest! Such passion and beauty! I love how the middle singer basically loses himself, and then snaps 'awake' after the song is finished! More people need to know about this great music!!

My new musical crush. Blows "pop" country music out of the water.
Never before have I found such a captivating, goosebumpy, tear jerking live performance on youtube. And I have listened to my fair share of them.
Their videos are great but, their live is simply incredible.
Best of luck for this band which I was lucky enough to see last night in Whelans (Dublin)
Me too.. Had to look them up! So great to see music like this become more popular. Conan almost always has great music guests!
every time i hear this i harmonize and belt it out. even if i'm in public. I LOVE how the video is just them actually playing and vocally performing live...beautiful....
"You could calm a storm with your tone
And the way you sing, makes the mocking bird hold
The grass you walk on, gives way
Saying please, please, come back this way"
Heard this song on WXPN and couldn't get it out of my mind. Wonderful song filled with so much emotion. LOVE IT
I can not wait to see them Live at Baltimore Sound Stage! Just got FRONT row tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This right here, this is talent. So much passion driven into this song. Beautiful
I still to this day can't get enough of this song.
Great show last night in Chicago! Thanks for a wonderful night
WOW!... this guy can sing!
Jese this guy sings with such EMOTION. He's dripping with sweat by the end of this video. I can practically feel him screaming at my face right in front of me. But hey, that's what makes him/them AWESOME.
Saw on Conan, got chills. Couldn't get their song out of my head. Bought the album a week later.
Only heard a bit of this song while watching The Walking Dead and it immediately grabbed at me. Can't stop listening. Hope to see them live someday. Amazing how a song can make you weep and smile at the same time.

That accordion is a beautiful touch.
For every other musician its a super chill song... and then that guy is just screaming at the top of his lungs haha. Great song
American music at it's finest! Poignant and austere. So happy to see and hear this music thriving in today's society.
Fabulous performance, musicianship and writing. These guys are the real deal.
Kudos to the film-makers as well. Beautiful look and sound. Excellent!
discovered the band when they were featured on the Relevant Podcast a few weeks ago - in love with 'em ever since!
Heard them in Bangor, ME last night, they rocked it, so good in concert.
i love the self awareness at the end.
I can make this one short and sweet. We are looking at next years multiple Grammy winners. This is amazing. Bravo!
Just saw them live at RiverFest in Newburyport, MA. They were so engaging. See these guys live
Going to see this unbelievable group off people for the 3rd time on the band on the wall 2018 cannot wait
Saw them at the Ryman open for Dwight Yaokam. They blew the audience away. Standing ovation.
Beautiful. Ive loved this song...so sorrowful but lovely. This video adds an extra dimension for me.
These guys are about 500 times better live! I wish they had an mp3 recording of this session!
so beautiful, the melody and melding of voices just moves me to tears...I can feel it touch my soul, tugging my heart strings.
this actually moved me to tears. incredible soul and talent
Unbelievable. Love this, send this around the planet, NOW!
I heard these guys on Conan sing this song..That was the best performance I've ever heard on a late night show.
Chills....chills....chills....is just me or is real soulful (regardless of genre) making a comeback back to the masses??? Me thinks so! :)
Absolutely fantastic! I'd love to see you in Chicago!
heard this today for the second time on TMD radio...Baltimore... loved it!!! talented acoustic group
Unreal. Tragic I’m just hearing you guys for the first time today.
Thank you WXRT CHICAGO! I love this!!!!
Great song. Wish I could see it live. This type of music is just so much better when you are there.
Listened to less than 30 seconds and already had chills
Seriously earth-shaking vocal performance. Well DONE!
This can't get any better.
I love this band!!!!!!! And They're coming to my school next week I'm so happy!
Such an underrated song :(
why would you put a sad face???
Excellent music, thanks for what you do.
When you listen to good music all you can do is smile
I like the raw "live" session approach, it very effectively conveys the power. But what I really REALLY like is your Tiny Desk Concert set -- that thing is even more raw (recorded with 1 stereo mic), and I think the performance really shines. Thanks for sharing your music!
