As a child, I would hear humming from the kitchen and snoring from the bedroom. I heard my aunt and uncle’s voices in this melody. Live life and many will understand. Wonderful collaboration! Your Elder has spoken .
For all of us who wish we were alive at the birth of the blues so that we could have seen and heard all the great musicians, Valerie is giving us a second chance.
Poly Sci. One of the most underrated albums to drop. When he was featured on the Fugees Wild Cowboy, he basically stole the show with his verse...that's when I became an immediate fan. Hope he continues to make music.
Absolutely mind blowing and life changing. What an amazing song. Well done. I discovered her a few weeks ago and it's like an Angel voice from Home. We are thirsty for Righteousness. O'weary battered saints, take root and sing your Revelation Songs. Masterpiece is understatement. Love you.
If a lot of you remember, John Forte was apart of the Refugee Camp along with Lauryn, Whyclef, and Pras. He had an album in the past. I forget the name of it but there was single called "Flash the message". I think? As for Valerie June. . . Meshell Ndegeocello brought me here X ).
Rolling Stone magazine named Valerie June's second album The Order of Time (album) one of The 50 Best Albums of 2017, citing "her handsomely idiosyncratic brand of Americana, steeped deep in electric blues and old-time folk, gilded in country twang and gospel yearning....a blend of spacey hippie soul, blues and folk with June’s pinched, modern-Appalachian voice at the center"
I din not listen to music for on and off for 15 years. I knew all the old music in about every genre. Started back a few years ago. Thank you for your artistry.❤️
It's just me or, its really impossible to watch Valerie June and don´t ask to yourself. How can that voice be possible with such a peacefull, relaxed and beatifull face. Great Song!
Powerful! I've loved this man's music since I was a teenager and seeing how he's blossomed as an artist is so touching considering (what we know of) his story. Sending pure love and positivity to Forte. This collaboration really enables the truth of this track to shine for the pure truth that it is. Keep on living well people!
I heard John sing recently for the first time. After listening to more of his music and his interviews, I have nothing but respect for the man, the artist, the intellect. I hope I get a chance to thank you in person one day for your courage to share your story and enrich my life. And BTW, you guys knocked this one out of the park. I hope you gave yourself permission to celebrate for a day. Haha..
rapper John Forte she sings with, was convicted and sentenced to the 14 years for possession and conspiracy to distribute $1.4 million worth of cocaine. With the help of Senator Orrin Hatch, Forté's prison sentence was commuted by President George W. Bush and he became a teacher and social commentator
WOW! You are recreating the Classic sound of the SOUTH, the basis for ALL music Today( BLUES, RnB, Country, Prock, HipHop) You REPRESENT! The Ancestors are singing and Swaying! Well Done!!
Valerie June is Great in her own right! And she doesn't claim to be Country! Old/Classic Country is where it's at like Melba ,... but please listen to her other acoustic songs on here ! I hated country as a youth but now it has just added to my life's soundtrack! I work at a Radio Station and one DJ goes on the AM with a great Classic Country Hour every Saturday Morning! Please take a listen www.c93radio.com/ and then you click on the WWCH 1300 AM listen live button. I am on the Fm and we play Hot AC sooo check it out! Wayne Bro is interviewing Charlie Pride soon but he has covered George Jones , Charlie McDaniel, Crystal Gayle and many others! Hope you enjoy!!
Tibby Troese she doesn't need to claim, she is. And her voice is just not great. My opinion. Try playing her on your radio station, see your listeners drop
Thank you so much for this great song john forte my 11 yo and my 8 yo sing this song with me I'm trying to show them great music and you provided that we saw you sing it on NY ink and when I found the song this is all they want to hear thank you bro keep it up :-)
Thanks for all the support. For anyone interested in the lyrics to the verses, I've posted them above (beneath the itunes link).
Damn,....just damn.
We know what the water is
Gracias !
I love Valerie June she's so beautiful and such a beautiful unique voice.
As a child, I would hear humming from the kitchen and snoring from the bedroom. I heard my aunt and uncle’s voices in this melody. Live life and many will understand. Wonderful collaboration!
Your Elder has spoken .

Call me crazy, but I really love Valerie's voice! It has that country, drunk-hillbilly, nails-through-skull combination that works well all together.

For all of us who wish we were alive at the birth of the blues so that we could have seen and heard all the great musicians, Valerie is giving us a second chance.

I seen Valerie on a PBS station . Love her laid back Cajun. Did not know of John Forte until I looked up Valerie. Awesome and sensual rhythm.
Poly Sci. One of the most underrated albums to drop. When he was featured on the Fugees Wild Cowboy, he basically stole the show with his verse...that's when I became an immediate fan. Hope he continues to make music.
I just logged in to say thanks. Mother of all the gods. Thanks.
now i'm falling in love to the music of Valerie June what a wonderfu voice...diffenrent, sensational, nostalgic and so so so touching !!!
Absolutely mind blowing and life changing. What an amazing song. Well done. I discovered her a few weeks ago and it's like an Angel voice from Home. We are thirsty for Righteousness. O'weary battered saints, take root and sing your Revelation Songs. Masterpiece is understatement. Love you.
Wow what a unique voice. Never heard of her til today. I have been missing out.

trop fort John Forté et Valerie June : un vrai régal pour les oreilles et les vibes du coeur
Can't get tired of this. Pure groove. Thank you.
Awesome tunes..... #JohnForte #ValerieJune
Just discovered this and I'm absolutely obsessed with it. Forte, you're amazing, and Valerie June is a goddess among us. This is music!
Love it. The two styles weave perfectly into each other. Thanks for a great moment.

She's one of a kind for sure. I have all three of her albums ( by 2024) all brilliant, I love her originality.
Awesome! What a combination these two are, I loved it.
frais le son, il fait légerement griot le refrain

I find her mesmerizing, that soulful drone takes me back to old school jazz
You guys are wonderful together!
This is why music is my religion....
