The moon is almost full, the leaves are falling, the sky is getting darker, and this old resonator seems to be getting darker with the season. This Dobro Duolian has been staring at me from the corner, so I picked it up, and this song just started flowing out. Sometimes a song puts an image in your head, and this immediately made me think of an abandoned cabin in the mountains, and the ghosts that call it home. What does it put in your head? 👻

🔥Thanks for watching & Please Hit SUBSCRIBE!
that was sick as fuck.
I'd blast this on my m1a1 loud speaker doing a thunder run, keep us calm and make the enemy poopie in fear.
Reverb twin our nuggets
Talent like this is worth trading your soul for. You got a bargain 💀😎
Wonderful sound, Thank you for the share
I'm seventy-two now and hearing this makes me feel the same as I did when I was six, laying in the grass watching the clouds.
Your picture is very familiar. Im a deadhead, and ive tripped a lot. Care to enlighten me on where ive seen this?
@@TC-cl1pn it’s the mad tv dude I think?
What a lovely image you conjure up.
@@TC-cl1pn it's Alfred E Neuman from Mad magazine
That felt good to read
I lost my best bud today. My 4mo. old white german shepherd. He got run over and it broke my heart. He used to howl like a wolf when I played Justin's songs. Now I'll hear him howl in my mind whenever I play his songs. This one and Quoth the Raven helped me overcome the sorrow I am feeling tonight. Thank you very much Justin for the balm to my soul!🎸😎
@Lv11 thank you. My "peace " comes from God Himself but Justins music is like a balm for what ails ya. He plays from the heart and his talent is from God who created music in the first place. What makes my dog Icebear's death so sad is, i saw the potential he had and he woulda been the best german shephard i ever had. He was so smart that he learned the commands in german and at only 4 mos. Everytime i hear justin play itll be a memorial to Icebear!
❤️🙏❤️
@@leah__gail thank you Leah!.
@@kortgreen7725 blessings on you brother. Grieving with you. Thankful for His Grace in times of loss. ❤️
@@ramck3 thank you very much. God is my strength. Without Him we can do nothing. We are comforted by His Spirit who dwells in the temple of our hearts when we born again of His Spirit. Grace comes through what Christ did for us on the cross.
Be damned. This is the sound I've wanted to hear but never did. I'm 70 years old and maybe now I;ll learn to play. Thanks Johnson this is a great gift. what a sound and what talent.
I'll sleep with mind from now on !😊
gloomy notes (mostly blues chord) meet fretless guitar (eastern philosophy, seamless integration of all things aka. micro tonality) without any distortion (overused and misused by modern rednecks without musical finesse & foundation).
this is a true cowboy's heart in showcase
This is the soundtrack of a great movie yet to be created.
Thank you young man for I am him. Old grey ghost up on a mountain alone with my dog. A soldier of the past, and man of the present, and ghost of the future. Awesome talent on display.
Your comment just gave me goose flesh! Love this comp from JJ!!...Your write makes excellent picture to pair!👌
I love your comment so much..
Ditto, old lady that learned to sing by this type of music from my momma playing that way.AL☮️
a poet lost in time ...... seen my black chow.?
Well worde my fellow Pen Pushin Pimp Daddy!!!
I feel like this will be the music I hear when everything is finally destroyed but I still want beauty to be my last memory
What a great way to put it! I'm still surprised with JJ's playing... If I heard this one tune on my last day I'd go with such peace..........
Yes
Beautiful
Sitting in front with my wife beside me and all our Grandbabies playing under a watch full eye. Safest babies on esrth.
Nice job young man.
Powerful statement.
Red Dead Redemption 3 soundtrack is ready
There is a special soul in this music.
Yes!!
This dude is slowly becoming the best guitar player of all time.. god blessed this man
listen to the way he talks... the lord had nothing to do with it, my friend.
Excellent guitar player, yes. Best of all time? Not a chance.
He's brilliant agreed, but have you never heard of Mike Oldfield?
I agree
So true!
Tarantino, listening to this, just conceived another movie-masterpiece.
this is the best comment lol i am a die hard tarantino fan! i think justin could easily get him motivated for another western
Id love to see another western out of Tarantino. Django unchained is my favorite.
Ha ha I was just going to comment that this should be in a Quentin Tarantino movie 👍😄
Movie starts in the early morning desert with a drop of early morning dew landing on a thirsty scorpion...
sadly tarantino publicly announced he will be doing no more films nor productions..
This is my first time hearing this artist and he is just so perfect. It's one thing to hear the music, but to feel the music is a whole other thing. Absolutely love the tone of this and the guitar sounds so rich and deep.
Have you seen his spade guitar yet?
The slide vibrato sounds like rattle snakes…. what a dark & lonely piece of music…. he got grit for sure 👍
This song is the last song my 17 year old son that passed on 11/22/20 listened to. It gives me chills this will for ever remind me of him
He is sorely missed by his family
🤍
Been a bad year . Lost my 7 yr old niece . Things gotta get better but I'm never gonna say they can't get worse 🤔
Man I couldn't imagine that pain, I have 4 kids and I am so sorry for your loss.
I'm very sorry for your losses, Jesse and Jasper.
The dried, weary faces that decorate the ole saloon turned as the dusted stranger bursts through the light-shedding hinge-doors. This song was being played in the corner by a tumbleweed of a man with a rolled cig tucked behind his ear. He didn't even glance. He's seen enough for his lifetime, and yours
that was perfect for this song. fuck you for that lol

Ooft... never thought I could see an entire scene in a TH-cam comment....
I stand corrected
I'm from eastern mass ...this is my favorite style of music from hills of west Virginia to the swamps of the south, nothing captivates me more than a steel guitar and slide, I could listen for hours
I was born in New Orleans in 1949 and there was no videotape so everything was live so all the mistakes were caught and and broadcasted
He should’ve made music for RDR2!
R2D2
@@baronsaturday9529 I was about to say that lol
He should of....king fish is awesome don't get me wrong...bit this guy fits the sound dynamic better for rdr2
@@baronsaturday9529 That's what I read at first. Lol.
@@baronsaturday9529 I can imagine in a star wars universe. r2d2, instead of being a futuristic looking robot, is a bunch of old timey machine parts (wall-e style) and instead of beeping he just speaks in blues riffs😂
This is so very haunting, I can imagine myself driving on a road that never ends.....just me in my car alone with my thoughts...so so beautiful Justin thank you
Yup...beautiful southwestern US as the sun 🌄 is going down.
White big block dodge.
Midnight out west just driving in the desert 🌵
Going down into the desert sunset on the Harley. Thank you Justin.
Alone ?! What for do you need Justin when you're so happy to be alone ?
Kind of an old west lonely cowboy feel. You should be doing this for a movie score!
I second that notion! Mr.Johnson documentary now please!
Already did, RDR2! 👍
I concur on the movie score
That's Cause It's For The Old Cowboys Of The West 🙏
They make some kind of movie's. Sad.
Sounds like when your walking all alone in a
ghost town. Awesome slide playing.
Sounds like the wind moaning through and around the old weathered corner in that deserted ghost town.
This one definitely does something in your body, like chemically changes shit and makes it work correctly improving blood flow through your arteries relieving stress, healing you. You guys know you can feel it too. Perhaps, it’s the pure joy of knowing a piece of music this beautiful exists. ✌🏻❤️🎶
Nicely put
True music, needs no word to express it's stories
This music cures depression and anxiety
Indeed it does. It gives me goosebumps all over .. I would love to be able to witness him and his seems to me very very few lucky selected people who are ever so blessed to be ALOWED to witness this Magnificent Man in the Very Rare Occasions of him being in his natural state of mind that he loves to be in. The incredible genius of this very naturally talented man in all he does exquisitely.
Can make it worse sometimes, but its good to get it out i guess lol
Depression isn't a finite state of being, therefor cannot simply be cured, for technically it doesn't fall under the definition of disease.
the blues does that brother. the last time I felt low, lower than meself, I took the black keys and ran with them. the blues get me high. Makes my spirit soar.
@@maritzame.9508 I've noticed that his playing gets better and better everytime I hear him play. Just a sensational guitar player. JUSTIN JOHNSON.
This sounds like a movie soundtrack from our childhood that we can't remember at all, only remember the emotions while watching it
Its sad how underappreciated Slide Guitar, Traditional Steel Guitar, Mountain Dulcimer, and Banjos are.
Modern Country Music and Blues Music are missing out in many ways including instrument choices. Look at Hank Williams Sr and how great he was.
Been a city boy all my life but this here stirs my spirit something ancient.
You’re the Pain-soother. This is exactly what I need to live through today, man.
I’m forever grateful to universe and TH-cam to have discovered you.
🌻🎸🎷❣
Let your thoughts float away, and just live in the present moment where anything or nothing can happen, and it's all alright. When you're not listening to awesome music like this on TH-cam check out Eckhart Tolle. Take it easy. Peace out.
@@RobertF- Best comment ever. ML
@@jerririgo3125 Thanks, I appreciate that. Much respect.
Now I know how Saul was soothed by David's harp! 😅
Bro is so smooth with the note transitions it’s ridiculous how much skill & talent that takes.. like unbelievable
Ohh yeah. Dude is amazing! So much freaking talent. Best blues guitarists out there!!!! Let's go ol' son...😅
i could put this on loop and never get tired of this masterpiece
I hear you
This would be an ideal ringtone for my phone.
I feel like a ghost these days; caught somewhere between remembering once who I was, and wondering why I ain’t her no more.
Yeah know the feeling Miss
The older I get the more I wonder. I'll be going Home soon; it preys on my mind and sometimes scares me. I listen to Justin playing and it calms me
Oh my that was so well said. I know that feeling.
@@kiela17 please,dont fear the reaper!! Make the most of every day!! And enjoy music every day!!
Three notes in and time stops. A masterpiece.
If you don't have the BLUES in your heart, you will have a hole in your soul.
As I awake at 3 am in the darkness with the stars shining into the window, this song fills my head and I find peace.
Not sure why the algorithm led me here but this is how you get an instant sub
Fantastic sound, amazing skill, perfect ambiance, been looking for this
S A M E
Me too. Son of a Witch, felt like I'd been hit over the head with a brick. Promptly dove down this rabbit hole with no regrets.
Yep
To all you passing by, thank you. This world and its wonders, like you reading this, never cease to amaze. It's a tough world but we are tougher. God bless you all.
This is hauntingly beautiful, like a midnight walk alone down an unfamiliar road with no moon to guide the journey and a storm in the distance.
And here you are, too! Keep spreading, man
100 percent pure Americana. Absolutely outstanding.
As a long COVID sufferer, from now on, whenever I'm having a particularly bad day when I just want to crawl into an open grave, I will have this song in my mind and the idea won't be so frightening. Absolutely beautiful.
Am I the only one who cried when hearing this, especially with the way things are going?
No. 💞
No tears here. It makes ya feel why ya feel cause it's PURE, man.
Pure as the driven snow.
Pure,sacred,and beautiful.
Hi chad I cry when I hear this also. I have cancer, and as I have told Justin, his music does not make me hopefully, it makes me feel better.
yes
I'm cryin now...mon. aug. 23. 7:05pm

I realize I look like the ghost of the mountain.....
Why isn't he signed to a label yet? This guy is not a mediocre product that can be pedaled in the music industry... he's actually a TRUE artist! A gem like this is a rare find these days!
He doesn’t need a label. People sell out when they get labels. Im sure being an influencer on TH-cam with his insane guitar abilities he is making out OK monetarily.
He is too good to be Famous............ " Only L.L.A. "
You answered your own question, he isn't mediocre, he's true talent, and an artist. That's not what labels want anymore.
A diamond.. gifted
I said the same thing, then I got to listening to him more.... he's all about heart and soul... the #blues... not money!!
Justin, you are without a doubt the best delta/country blues player I have ever heard - your music moves me.
First Time hearing this song. I'm 26 what have I been missing out on, my god this sound so beautiful, makes me think I'm back in the good ol western days riding through the plains under a starlit midnight sky. Wolf's howling in the distinct in front of a full moon. It's just my god I can picture this in my head while listening to the song. The hoofs of a mighty steed beaten on the ground below. Am I the only on or can y'all see it to?
nice one.
I see it. Except I see two Milky Ways cause I’m shitfaced on my back cause I fell off my horse and my hound dog is growling at the scorpion that’s crawling up my leg. I need another drink.
“We’re more Ghosts than people” - Arthur Morgan
You're aaalright BOAH
Arthur kneels beside his faithful steed, and whispers one last 'thank you' before following John up the mountain...
Suns it up nicely. 👍
I'd like to know how that works. I know when we die we give up the ghost.

This guy should be hired for a new Western theme movie
Agreed
Nope.
He should do ALL of them 😎

Случайно нашел ваш канал, подписался, смотрю из России. Спасибо этому человеку за музыку, и интернету, за то что это вообще возможно ☺️
Я тоже случайно зашла на этот канал,прослушала эту замечательную композицию, которая сразу запала в душу и тут же подписалась на канал. Теперь каждый день слушаю прекрасную музыку.СПАСИБО БОЛЬШОЕ ИСПОЛНИТЕЛЮ!!! ОГРОМНЫЙ РЕСПЕКТ из РИГИ✌✌✌✌✌👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is my absolute favorite one. Cant even describe the feeling i get listening to this.
Greetings from Germany, keep that stuff going
The way he handles that guitar is.. just so smooth and effortless
sometimes I genuinely feel like the guitar is playing Justin, too ... and that's what makes it so cool, the cohesiveness
Indeed, He plays the guitar more effortless than I can speak!😂
A lot of people can play music. A select few can make it come alive.
He knows her well.
This song reminds me all those love stories and that alone cowboy tired and riding his horse under the red evening sky, remembering old days.

Justin is beyond amazing. I find his music surreal. This music tells my soul that everything will be okay.
Justin Johnson you are by far one of the greatest dark Swamp Blues guitar players I have ever heard
Oh my god... This dude. "Son of a witch" was my favourite song of Justin until this sensitive and suttle piece flew from his fingers. Chokes my heart from the beginning till the end. Thank you once again.
I know nothing about playing,reading music, but I close my eyes and my fingers can't stop moving. I love it.
Absolutely Beautiful. It brought visions of longing and sadness. This is what great music does. It paints a picture without a brush. It tells a story, without a word. Each note a stroke of a brush or pen, forcing the will of the composer into the mind of the listener. As a fellow musician, thank you for sharing your story, your painting, your art.
Thank you Justin! Your music puts the Band-Aid on the scratch that none of us can pick any longer.
Truly amazing how one man can alter people's state of mind in just 5 minutes. And never say a word
Absolutely spiritual. That tune could be the soundtrack for my life.
The more I listen, the more you take my breath away. Your playing is beautiful beyond words. Brings me to tears
This playlist always reminds me of my childhood n somehow always calms me down n reminds me we r all still kids in some ways n we still deserve to dream big ,to be loved unconditionallly,to be appreciated for all the small n big wins ,to sleep peacefully without expectations n responsibilities haunting us ,love to all and thank u so much for the playlist .
“The haunting wind blows through the falling leaves and you brave heart greaves”.
your
sick.
Mesmerizing.
Can we talk about that gorgeous piano harp mantle piece in the background? Gorgeous!
The image that jumps into my mind: A law man with a classic motorcycle on a long ride, around sundown staying just one km ahead of his ghosts and regrets
I just love all his music. He’s so good.
I got the tabs for this from Justin’s store. It made me fully understand just how good he is. He makes it look easy but it’s really kinda hard
This song reminds me to remember that it's not always the demons in the dark that one should be afraid of, but of the monsters that walk as men in the light of day wearing the faces of those you trust....
Awe it melts my heart after reading your beautiful comments.. You are so right 💝💋💝
Facts indeed, well said!!!.... 👌👍
*There isnt almost any musician in the world doing this kind of instrumental music with slide guitar, unless comercially, what a shame, thanx Justin*
Wow! You gave that guitar a life long story. Like it was old and had things to share before it passed. What you do sir, is my favorite thing about humans that set us apart from nature. Bravo!
Truly is nice when you stumble across a great musician that is now among my favorites.
sweet Jesus. this doesn't even need lyrics and you instantly know everything you need in the first 3 notes.
I love the way your slide vibrato doubles as sort of a shaker sound (particularly on the lower strings). Adds to the haunting vibe of this. Well done!
Yeah..he should attach a Rattle Snake Tail to it~👌😎
Open tuning. " G G " May B ?

Yes it acts almost like percussion when he uses it that way. Awesome!!!
Great observation, you just contributed to my playing skills with your post.
A man once said to me you cant do any blues till you lived the blues. This is a man who lived.
This Country Blues piece respectively supported by Travis picking & the Bottleneck is such a great balanced combination that adds so well to that mesmerizing music
Man I tell you I haven't been mesmerised by music in a long time, I finally found it. I've never heard such amazing stuff. WOW!!!
I found myself using the word #mesmerized too!!
Как всегда красиво,талантливо,душевно, огромное уважение.
This is truly awesome! Listening to it takes me back to when I was a kid, visiting family in Kentucky and Georgia.... in hot summers.... lazy nights.... getting into mischief as young boys do.
Brings tears of joy to my eyes.
🍺😋👍
This would be perfect for a survival game theme. Love it.
I was totally mesmerised through the entire piece and now I feel like I've just had my pain meds. Head truly left in the clouds. Bravo that man!
Yup, exactly like medicine.
I don't want to sound corny but do you remember "Crossroad" movie when (I don't remember his name and too lazy to Google now) that old dude explain what is blues. He said:
"Blues is when good man feels bad."
And I think about this words all the time.
Hauntingly beautiful
Scary to think how many of us fall into that category ! Actually just took mine. But... This helps !
Try heroin its killer and better than music. Lol.
Disclaimer: Some people love it to death.
@@christineschmidt8494 LSD and Meth help too but not together, unless your a pro.
I closed my eyes while listening and it conjured up a vision of a "Ghost Rider", a
stone faced rider on a "flea bitten" Blue Roan, with a long black "Duster Trail Coat" and a worn black cow punchers hat with rain dripping off the brim, he's riding down a grass tractor road into a foggy forest...
Perfect 👏🏼
Sounds awesome, Bob!
Boy - do you have a great imagination! Dont ever lose it!
Flea bitten? Flea bitten blue roan? That poor poor sweet blue roan. I'd kick that mans ass!
@@katiemaemontgomery2579Flea-bitten gray is a color consisting of a white hair coat with small pigmented speckles or "freckles". The flea-bitten pattern is seen primarily in heterozygous Grays. Most horses who become flea-bitten grays still go through a brief period when they are pure white.
Some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard...and I've been around a long time....I write poetry....this is poetic. Thank you 🤟
This is the type of music I listen to when I take off that Suit, get in my tahoe, drive to the country side and take my whiskey with me and spent the evening there. I would numb myself and think about a life without adhd or a violent upbringing and missing the times when I used to help out at my granddads farm to get away from it all
I loved this 3 notes in, and it just kept getting more head-swaying dreamy.
Hello Donna.. how are things going with you?
This is like in "Days Gone" when you cross the snowy mountain pass. Perfect!
I was longing for some country sounds with a touch of blues. I had a tune in my head of what I wanted to hear. I flipped through several youtube channels, none of them had rhe sounds I was looking for so I remembered Justin and went to his channel and sure enough it was like having glass of whiskey, just what I needed to soothe my soul. Thank you Justin, absolutely mezmirizing hearing this.
Que hermoso suena lo que tocas no conozco la música country pero de argentina un abrazo y mis felicitaciones por tus interpretaciones me acompaña hoy cuidando a mi madre
Like an ode to the westerns bygone days! Feel like I should be sipping whiskey and playing cards.
That was beautiful I loved it. I felt like Clint Eastwood riding across the desert 2 days into a Peyote trip questioning everything while learning everything at the same time beautiful Justin beautiful.
And people say magick doesn't exist. Sounds that can transport you back in time and completely change your train of thought, state of mind and emotional outlook. The power of sounds. Magical stuff.
That lick at 3:19 is the most magnificent one that i ever heard at my entite life. No doubt.
Amazing lick.
Yessss!!!!!!
Good morning Justin! Thanks for starting my day off with some slide 💜
Why can't we have more beauty and wholesomeness in the world? Time for a U-turn.
I could listening your music for hours and days !!
Standing ovation on this piece, it is more than a song it's a place. Hurtful place
Haunting and mesmerizing simultaneously. Bravo! ❤️
Hello Vickie.. how are things going with you?
I wonder when you’re playing this song, you consider the impact it has on people. For me, standing in my back yard, listening to this, I find myself wondering around the galaxy. In wonder of life and love and space.
Shed two tears listening to this. Absolutely beautiful.
Justin, you are our muse eternal,your touch to the exactness is totally addictive, you are our national poet,our sanity is at the end of your fingers, god bless you.
Truly have touched this old soldiers soul, God bless you son!
Just hearing this makes me want to play my guitar
Same and I don't even know how 🤦♀️🤷♀️
And makes me wish i could play the guitar lol
I really like dark country/folk. This here is a cigar smokin, poker playin, whiskey drinkin, lone horse back riding, abandoned highway muscle car drivin, testosterone fueled, bit. It's like angel pussy to my ears
Damn right. If I didn't work 60 hours a week is be a master of it....
Do it!
This song has got to be my favorite right now. So glad to have discovered open Dm tuning. Thank you Justin
Don't feel alone. There's other playlist on TH-cam an hour Plus to listen to!
Cool
Unreal playing Justin! So glad I found your channel. You’re style is unearthly. This is so refreshing and unique.
Hope your having a Blessed day Justin!
Love me some swamp blues.
