How on earth was this not a #1 chart topping hit in country music ?!?!? She has the purest vintage country voice out there. My guess is she wants to do things her way and be true to herself and her sound and not conform to what big major record labels want her to do . She is on the verge of a grammy I just know it ! Keep doing you Sierra we love it and are here for it .
because the popular music industry is an image driven industry now. this woman is clearly a true artist and the demand and supply has been 💩 for so long now that "that" is what people think is the goods. Sierra will get there because real music lovers will get her there
Although I like album version, she is SOOOOO good stripped down to just her voice and that guitar. Her phrasing is just so special when she can play with it a little bit.
Just saw her last week. She had a fiddle, mandolin, and bass with her. Most people were there to see Shakey Graves but they were fans by the time she was done.
100% agree!! her album was a let down, because it was way way wayyyy over produced and engineered. I wish she would just do it over with a different studio. she is amazing in these videos where its just her with a camera and a few microphones.
Yes, we've covered this in earlier releases and it's true, but she is an artist and whatever she creates we can only be inspired by it. She's an original. Even with too much or too little she is art, and always worth our attention.
Because all music is over produced for the last 50 or more years. Often I find myself liking the first recording of an artist. When that has success the figure “the wall of sound” will be more of a commercial success. Revolting
My mom passed away in '04 and Sierra looks exactly like her. When she locks eyes with the camera, it's like I'm looking directly at my mom. The world is an eerie place.
I had to look it up to verify that she actually wrote that...sounds like it is straight from the 1950s but you're right, she (co-)wrote it! Impressive!
YES! Cash is my fav artist ever and she has a lot in common with him. They both draw in the camera, have a cheeky wry smile and emphasise certain words and tones.
hope u or u guys reading my comm.i m a 32 yrs old guy from romania..1st and rlly good one in this type of muic i herad...yeah..no one else than Colter Wall.talking about new /old western music,in my opinion , u both have something special..i m not even listen to much of the gendre.i can say roger miller is one of my favorite and others alike(but old stuff).i m also playing instruments (but amateur rank)and as a ,prrety much music artist i like all kind of music including this one .ehhh..all good toughts to u :D
She really is one of the new greats. She’s up there for me with George, Patsy, Eddie Arnold & Marty Robbins. Amazing songwriting that’s simple but so catchy and actually memorable. Plus her voice is too good for words. I really love this girl, I’m so glad I get to witness her career soar in real time. Effortlessly talented!
Please for the love of all that's good and mighty release that song at the end. I'm sure it's "The Garden" but I can't find that version anywhere. You're cock teasing us
That seems to be a trend with most of the people on this channel, I fall in love with a performance of theirs and find it on Spotify and it's almost a different song
Wow. This is amazing. That reverb makes her voice go on forever. If I close my eyes, I can hear this out of a radio in the radioactive desert of a Fallout game.
She's doing old school country with her own twist. Fallout mostly did doo-wop and never did country as far as I know. Just appreciate her voice going on forever. No need to compare it to other stuff.
Comparative thinking is what we do as a species! Anyway, what I should have said was "The sound of this is like a song I would expect to hear wafting across the radioactive deserts after emerging from Vault 101 from a far-off, half broken and full of sand radio"
When I first started playing acoustic guitar and singing I told my cousin I needed a mic. He replied with “No you don’t, singing is about controlling your volume, too many musicians talk into a mic and then rely on the studio for volume control. A true guitarist will not need a mic to be heard over their guitar.” She nails everything about this, so damn well.
I'm confused by this comment. You see that she's wearing a mic, right? I don't mean to be a troll; I just want to point out to new musicians that this sound balance is not natural. It is the work of a quality technician and a soundboard.
Yes she is wearing a mic, and I agree with there being obviously a technician and a soundboard but what I’m trying to point out exactly it the fact she is only really playing the root notes loud, strumming quietly when she has to lower her voice to hit notes. It’s a very hard technique to master even for veteran musicians. You tend to lean either to guitar or vocals but I think shes found a very happy common ground between those two skills. And I don’t think you’re a troll, very valid comment.
that kind of thinking only applies in small quiet settings. Also some people just have quiet voices but are great singers. Sounds like cuzzo needs to learn a few more lessons before laying down the law
Es genial ver como pueden poner a tan buenos artistas, quien sea que lo haga posible es un genio, thank you western AF por ayudarnos a descubrirlos, saludos desde mexico
Thanks so much for doin what you do, Sierra!! I'm 47 and have loved your music/style/songwriting/picking/voice from the heavens for a few years now, but I'm so stoked that there's some little girls/teens who are getting introduced to classic country through your carrying the torch like no one else has been able to do in decades...Thanks for sharing your gift and thanks Western AF for these amazing recordings of her! Y'all are the best!!!
I swear the bells in every chapel Were ringing the day that I met you From high in the trees Birds were singing Singing of you and me From deep in the crowd You were glowing You were glowing without even knowing So from way over here it looked crystal clear You were the one for me But life ain't so simple No life it ain't so kind Yes life could lead you somewhere to be all alone You're crying crying crying I swear the bells in every chapel Were ringing the day that I met you They were ringing so clear But you couldn't hear Your heart could never be mine I swear the lilies in every valley Were blooming the day that you touched me When you took my hand You told me that one day I would understand But now I'm much older and suddenly I see Just what you were talking about Still from way over here it looked crystal clear You were the one for me But life ain't so simple No life it ain't so kind Yes life could lead you somewhere and you'll be all alone And you're crying crying crying I swear the bells in every chapel Were ringing the day that I met you They were ringing so clear But you couldn't hear And your heart could never be mine
For all those bemoaning the production on her album vs. the stripped down acoustics of this version, I say why fuss, we get to have it all. That's the beauty of how many different ways we can see her performing her songs through this ol' internetty thing. I've been surfing Sierra Ferrel song versions all week, and what a pleasure it's been.
I rather have this on the album in high quality playing on my sound system than what you get now, listening on YT with its low quality on the computer. So no, we don't get the best of both worlds. Both versions on an album with high quality sound would make it so.
I learned of Sierra Ferrel from two women for whom I play mandolin when they sing at the local hangout. I am beginning to think that SF is a really amazing unrecognized talent, seemingly simple in style but finely crafting songs not connected to any particular era yet free of frills or gimmicry
Thanks so much for having me! It was a pleasure
My daughter (16mnths) and I listen to you everyday:) love your stuff
your style is so refreshingly new yet old at the same time, cheers!
Take over Nashville already plz
See you soon in Des Moines!
I'm fuckin mesmerized...
She sings like a country star from 75 years ago. Absolutely timeless
it sounds like it should be coming through a gramophone
i COULD SPEND THE REST OF MY DAY LISTENING TO HER
Very true but she adds modern to it somehow. I can't really say which part sounds fresh, but it does
@@Junkmailcrusades Yep - she hash the schpeech impediment thing going on that so many young shingers are youshing. Amazhing voish though.
The sound production is part of this result. Impressive job for both.
Mesmerizing, that voice and that woman.
How on earth was this not a #1 chart topping hit in country music ?!?!? She has the purest vintage country voice out there. My guess is she wants to do things her way and be true to herself and her sound and not conform to what big major record labels want her to do . She is on the verge of a grammy I just know it !

No idea
It's because it's not tractor rap or boy band music.
Lack of intelligence.
Am I crazy that this is one of the best vocals I have ever heard?
Not crazy!
She rings like a bell.. A good one.
you're crazy and should get out more.
It cracks me up... I am a big metalhead, but this young lady's voice has me.
Good to listen to more than one genre
Listen to Billy Strings if you haven't. He used to be in a metal band
Same here brother
100% same here
@@mitchellthurner5980 Billy Strings, Marcus King, Colter Wall, Shakey Graves all great.
Although I like album version, she is SOOOOO good stripped down to just her voice and that guitar. Her phrasing is just so special when she can play with it a little bit.
Couldn't agree more. Her voice fills any space she is in and just carries on and on. She does not require any accompaniment whatsoever.
Just saw her last week. She had a fiddle,
mandolin, and bass with her. Most people were there to see Shakey Graves but they were fans by the time she was done.
It’s the way I prefer her performances. Her, her guitar, and that perfect melodious powerhouse of a voice. That’s all I need or want.
Agree 100%.
Just her voice, guitar and outfit
I feel like colter wall would sound really good singing with her
That would be like a modern day June Carter and Johnny Cash duet. Their voices would compliment each other perfectly.
@@livingminimumwage6359 that is exactly my thought. His lower tone and her higher pitch would contrast perfectly.
no i think you are off base here
100%
Oh man! THIS HAS TO HAPPEN!
I can see myself listening to her 30 years from now; her writing is timeless.
She’s a legend from meow on
She is incredible, i found her on the new Mavericks song the sun and the moon where she sings backup
Same as me
This is the Sierra I love.
Her album missed out on this feeling. Hope she gets a producer that understands that on the next one.
That is right...love her ole time too. It's coming. Long time coming. Just blown away and so smitten in Colorado
Facts!!!
Yeah this girl has to be live.
yup
it's radio... it's bands... they did the same to Tyler Childress... Country is a phoenix...
I wish her album was more like this than it is. She’s just so much better without a lot of production behind her.
I feel the same way about a lot of artists lately. "Unplugged" versions so much better than the produced albums
100% agree!! her album was a let down, because it was way way wayyyy over produced and engineered. I wish she would just do it over with a different studio. she is amazing in these videos where its just her with a camera and a few microphones.
Well lucky us, we get both! As long as she is happy with her album then I am STOKED for her. I think her Album is an incredible piece of art.
Yes, we've covered this in earlier releases and it's true, but she is an artist and whatever she creates we can only be inspired by it. She's an original. Even with too much or too little she is art, and always worth our attention.
The album is amazing, she's also great like this. I don't think the album is over produced at all.
Her voice give as me goosebumps and homesickness for a place and time I've never been.
Maybe you have....
Thanks for putting my feelings into words!
Hiraeth...
She makes me pine for WV. I listen to her, And I feel like I need to move back to the Appalachians.
1000 percent agree and feel that.
Every time she makes eye contact with the camera it sets my heart ablaze
Is your heart located in your penis?
Thats the devil bo'
Man, me too! Skips a beat!
THIS is country, folks. My husband helped me find Sierra several moths ago and it feels like she's been in my ears all my life, Stunning.
Country music is coming back to way it should be thank you Ms. Sierra Ferrell for giving us true country fans hope
That folks is the kind of Country everyone from older generations talks about ✨
Beautiful in so many ways
This song literally brings tears to my eyes
Why can’t the record producers capture this sound on her albums? These live recordings sound 1000x better than the records…
if i had the chance, i could.
Because all music is over produced for the last 50 or more years. Often I find myself liking the first recording of an artist. When that has success the figure “the wall of sound” will be more of a commercial success. Revolting
It's been like this for years. Willie Nelson's carreer was made off of live records
Sadly the same with even Samantha Fish.
I haven't heard her albums yet, but this is not a "live" recording. The audio was recorded separate and she's lip syncing for the video production.
My mom passed away in '04 and Sierra looks exactly like her. When she locks eyes with the camera, it's like I'm looking directly at my mom. The world is an eerie place.
maybe you are related??
Your mom was realllllly pretty
Eyes I believe described as “dole” - expressionless
Like in old pictures.
@@grahamproctor9880 agreed
What's even eerie is that I thought exactly the same thing. Sierra is a dead ringer for my mom when she was a young woman
So fantastic. Her phrasing and attitude remind me a lot of Johnny Cash, actually. Great writer and singer, and I adore her voice.
I had to look it up to verify that she actually wrote that...sounds like it is straight from the 1950s but you're right, she (co-)wrote it! Impressive!
YES! Cash is my fav artist ever and she has a lot in common with him. They both draw in the camera, have a cheeky wry smile and emphasise certain words and tones.
Hey Western AF, so I speak on behalf of everyone when I say we need that rendition of The Garden. DO IT!!!!!!
Came here just to comment the same thing. Where is it damnit! I needs it.
Yes, do it! Digging the vibe, sounds like it'd be in a True Detective soundtrack.
here here! please release that amazing little diddy!
Like x 9000
!!!!
So insanely beautiful..that voice is stunning
Please. I beg of you. Post the full video of her covering Tim Obrien’s “The Garden”
I know right!!!!
Ive looked for it and ain't seen it nowheres
It’s haunting and I need it!!!
YES!!!! Must hear this!!!!!!!!!
I 100% agree, it needs to be out for the public.
is this the song featured at the end?
I need the full version of that song at the end , she s so talented; acoustic versions are always my favourites !
Same!!!
let me know when you ll find it please)
Was just thinking the same. Is it in her album?
music.th-cam.com/video/JSSDuKdsCXs/w-d-xo.html
His is nice but I would like her full
Cover
This would be great in any decade of country music history. 50 years from now, people will play this video, and it will still be great.
This is bluegrass not country!!
The natural reverb of that room is incredible

I can neither confirm, nor deny that I was crying
I’m a simple man. I see Sierra. I click. I enjoy
That song at the last 20ish seconds is enchanting! I’d love to hear all of that too!
do we know what the song is?
It's called "the garden" by Tim O'Brien.
Just dreamy...
She really is one of the new greats. She’s up there for me with George, Patsy, Eddie Arnold & Marty Robbins. Amazing songwriting that’s simple but so catchy and actually memorable. Plus her voice is too good for words. I really love this girl, I’m so glad I get to witness her career soar in real time. Effortlessly talented!
Been a fan for many years, She is one of a kind and beautiful.
thank you :)
@@SierraFerrell
I'm a new fan. Seen her in Bozeman Mt. Loved her. Great show! Super talented and just generally lovely.
Her voice is So beautiful
Please for the love of all that's good and mighty release that song at the end. I'm sure it's "The Garden" but I can't find that version anywhere. You're cock teasing us
🧟♂️
This was ...... timeless perfection.
It's Tim Obrien "The Garden". Cheers.
She is the siren old sailors would speak of. A building could be during down and her voice would still lead me inside
stunning voice, one singer who is 100% better live
That seems to be a trend with most of the people on this channel, I fall in love with a performance of theirs and find it on Spotify and it's almost a different song
Saw her live last week, so I can confirm this is true
The record is great, and she's amazing live.
@@Tdog267 Agreed. Same with gemsonvhs
Wow. This is shockingly good.
God, I love her so much. So beautiful, amazing voice and cadence. So good.
The only kind of country music that could save country music
What a beautiful voice.
she just makes it look so easy....natural national treasure
Recently discovered Sierra. I've fallen in love with her music. Very talented gal! ❤️

Seriously add her cover of the garden by Tim O’Brien. Please. So hauntingly beautiful.
I've been looking for over a week for it with no luck
I need this in my life
YASSSS !
I also looked for an HR and can't find it.
Agreed that echo in the room just adds to it.
Damn those eyes have alot of stories, and that voice is absolutely amazing.

Right on! I dig this.
Wow. This is my first time hearing her. Simultaneously the best country song writing and country voice I’ve heard in ages.
Yep. She's a GEM.
I desperately want to hear her version of The Garden. Thanks for the tease!
By sweet chance of algorithm I was lead here. This is easily going to be a daily listen for me. Sierra. You're a fucking DAWG.
Perfect and pure singing.
I absolutely adore this lady and her music.
She is a gem all'herself.
Oh man it makes me so happy how good she's doing. 🥰😍
You're an old soul Sierra. A wonderful old soul
Love her old country sound and those fantastic pipes, surely honed by singing over banjos, washboards, dronks, and train whistles.
Goddang she is so incredible
Wow, that was really soothing..
Very very good. Thank you...
Sierra is the real deal. Outstanding!
She and Billy Strings give me hope for “old soul” music.
i love how calm she is and how she moves when she sings, its really calming and elegant
Ohhhh my! What a talent.
Excelente. Desde Uruguay. Saludos Raul Tornin
Nailing the voice for this kind of music!! Love this.
Stunning! The vocals to the scale work to the tattoos & piercings! I've been telling everyone about this Great Artist!
Absolutely mesmerizing. How you can get better is amazing.
Yup ! This one and Jeremiah are pure gems !!!
I'm in love😮
Your voice is stunning
She's incredible. Love it, Sierra.
I NEED to hear the full version of those last 15 seconds!
Me too - I was shook can’t wait to hear full version - fab teaser
Oh my! Gotta hear more! I'm such a fan. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, melodies and voice with us!
It's a Tim O'Brien song but obviously she'd do a phenomenal version based on those few seconds at the end!
@@julieh4481 look up "The Garden" by Tim O'Brien
@@vargkvinnan She sounded fantastic singing that from the little bit we got but the original I just found is amazing too!
Incredible voice, she is an incredible Musician❤️ This is an artist that should be number 1 on every chart
Wow! She reminds me of a country star from a simpler time. Her voice, the guitar picking, her lyrics. Everything. Way to go, kid!

She took me back in time. Her voice is absolutely beautiful ❤
❤ thank u for the jams
Authenticity off the charts!!
Best version yet! You go girl!!
I swear the bells in every chapel
Were ringing the day that I met you
From high in the trees
Birds were singing
Singing of you and me
From deep in the crowd
You were glowing
You were glowing without even knowing
So from way over here it looked crystal clear
You were the one for me
But life ain't so simple
No life it ain't so kind
Yes life could lead you somewhere to be all alone
You're crying crying crying
I swear the bells in every chapel
Were ringing the day that I met you
They were ringing so clear
But you couldn't hear
Your heart could never be mine
I swear the lilies in every valley
Were blooming the day that you touched me
When you took my hand
You told me that one day I would understand
But now I'm much older and suddenly I see
Just what you were talking about
Still from way over here it looked crystal clear
You were the one for me
But life ain't so simple
No life it ain't so kind
Yes life could lead you somewhere and you'll be all alone
And you're crying crying crying
I swear the bells in every chapel
Were ringing the day that I met you
They were ringing so clear
But you couldn't hear
And your heart could never be mine
Absolutely amazing voice! She's like a country and western Billie Holiday
I totally agree. I wouldn't be surprised if she is Biliie's reincarnation
I am hooked, this voice!!!
