We're stoked to have Lost Dog Street Band debut on our channel.
We were instant fans when we saw the video of Benjamin Tod train-hopping through Wyoming and playing his infamous rendition of Steve Earle's "The Mountain" on the steps of the state capitol. It's a banger or a video and you can check it out at our amigos in cinema's channel GemsOnVHS. Link here - Benjamin Tod "The Mountain" : tinyurl.com/5x...
Ben, Ashley Mae and Jeff Loops visited us earlier this year at WAF HQ in WY for a couple of shoots. Never thought in a thousand years we get the opportunity to shoot with them on our home turf. We knew Ben would have some stories to tell about our area during his train-hopping days. Enjoyed getting to hear him from the man myself about those times.
LDSB is a great project that is meaningfully rich and original with their tunes. Seems we always get sucked into their stories about life, hardship and the battle with ourselves. In that, we think they are perfect to reflect the attitude which is Western AF.
We really enjoyed making these vids surrounded by friends old and new. Can't wait to show ya the rest of the vids.

And he does it again. It's rare to find someone who can write and perform and get it right every time. True talent. LDSB will forever be a top favorite of mine.
You said it correctly, TRUE talent!!! This dude is on fire and every album keeps getting better .he is the most real dude ever
Well put
Spot on target Sir.
I always feel kind of bad with the way Ashley Mae's part in this music seems to be overlooked. Ben's songwriting is incredible. Ashley's fiddle playing is also incredible. Simultaneously precise and organic. It wouldn't be the same without her. I don't know the bass guy's story, but he seems like no slouch either.
@@ronheil6558 I completely agree with you!! And the other guys name is Jeff Loops and you're right about him as well.
the violinist should get more appreciation. she does a heck of a job w/ lost dog street band
Her name is Ashley Mae, she's Ben Tod's (singer) wife and we appreciate her SOOOOOO MUCH!
@@cresha100011 that’s awesome! I didn’t know they were married.
@@cresha100011 she is a mighty fine gal for sure
The band is great, not sure how to say this, without downgrading the others. Let’s just say she is not under appreciated by me. Not even a little bit. Could listen to her all day with or without a band.
“The violinist”.. you talk about appreciating her, yet don’t know her name.
My father is an alcoholic he knows it and hes in poor health he knows it'll kill him. When he heard this song today i saw him turn away and hold back tears because it resonated with him. Never seen him express that over alcohol. Benjamin Todd you are a master at what you do sir.
Damn, it's a powerful song brother. Ben has a way of getting to the soul. How's your father doing?
"I wanted to create a song that worshipped the God of agave and the misery of being a drunk."
Even just saying words he creates poetry lmao
😊
Just the way he said the misery of being a drunk was so poignant
@@PrinceOreoTheSavage felt it
Been there, done that.
@@PrinceOreoTheSavage Well as a veteran of being a drunk well ex drunk well maybe anyway yes its real and Jesus knows being a drunk brings the biggest of misery.
I’m here for literally everything the Lost Dog Street Band does. One of my favorite groups.
Absolutely.
Using again was the first song of his that I heard on gems on vhs channel a few years ago and I've been hooked ever since! He's by far my favorite artist in this genre and in the top 5 of all my favorites across all music genres. Benjamin Tod is the epitome of art and a true gift to mankind!
@@that1guy899 I drove seven hours one way to catch their show in Nashville last July. Worth every minute of windshield time.
@@that1guy899 same song I heard at first and stopped what I was doing to look and see who it was and also been hooked ever since
They do inspire that in people, don't they? Speaking from something familiar to tons of people.
This line: "With a spade I dug my grave into perdition's tomb" . . . There is a savage grace at work in one who can sink below the lowest depth of hell and come back with such a cautionary diamond, and then to pair that with musicians who can craft a tune to which you can so easily tap your feet -- nothing that marries the tragic and beautiful more than that. Thank you guys for somehow pulling it off once again.
Thanks for clearing that up! I misheard that the first few times as "and two perditions, too!" Which didn't make as much sense.
You know how to word yourself to, you know. That was quite the comment.
Damn.....never have I read such an impeccably constructed congregation of words. Brilliant.
I stand before a trial I will lose
I drink it clear to see my future through
The nectar I began to weep when I was just a youth
Mother pled with me to abstain
That temptress of the desert Agave
And I stumbled down the empty avenue
If this is the bottom I fell through
With a spade I dug my grave and to perdition tomb
Mother pled with me to abstain
That temptress of the desert Agave
Its painful to ingest or refuse
My veins starve and ache for ninety proof
When I die spread my hide in that old Jalisco bloom
Mother pled with me to abstain
That temptress of the desert Agave
When I die spread my hide in that old Jalisco bloom
Mother pled with me to abstain
That temptress of the desert Agave
God damn it thank you!
Como mexicano, me gusta ver gente que hable bien o le dedique algo a productos de mi tierra, gracias por esta gran canción.
Like a Mexican, I like to see people who speak well or dedicate something to products from my land, thanks for this great song.
Don’t forget he’s also speaking of the evil it brings. (To some) it’s not just a song about how great it is. I’m Mexican and drinking is normal, being a drunk is normal… well it doesn’t feel that way to me anymore. Or ever really. It’s just an eraser that can be purchased and easily obtained… So I can get some sleep. I too started drinking waaaayyy to early.
@@Mordorer yea in mexico being an alcoholic is much more normalized thanUSA, but in usa many do drugs and can hide it and be more productive. So it's a bit of an even exchange
Beautiful song! Jalisco is a state from México, the land of agave, the place where I born. As a wildlife lover drunker, this song hits me hard!
Not many artists put out music that’s consistently good like this, or quite as often.
They never disappoint and I will never not be excited when I see a new song by them.
WesternAF is killing it too!
I’ve found so many great artists through your channel.
You guys and lost dog are two of my biggest inspirations. I sincerely hope my channel and music reaches your level some day.
Keep it up guys!
My man charley crockett dosent have a bad song in his collection I'm tellin tou man great American music is making a comeback.
I get chills every time they drop a song. Forever a LDSB fan
LDSB, Western AF, Gems on VHS, the entire US folk underground: Thank you for existing.
Got to see them live a few nights ago. Hands down one of the best and most beautiful shows I have ever been too.
This is the most Western AF video on Western AF.
Good one of course, didn't expect anything else.

You are a gentleman and a scholar! Thanks for being so quick on this!
Yeah thanks for being so damn quick. Was planning to wait a week or so and compulsively check UG for the chords
someone post it on UG
@@jzonkel I did! I run the official Western AF channel there (as I do with GemsOnVHS), so you'll find every song same day or a day later on UG as well usually
@@cedarriver oh okay awesome thanks
Criminally underrated
Great addition with the double bass and third voice. I've been hooked for years now. Greatest songwriter we have right now.
Man, am I ever loving this Renaissance of western music.
Lost Dog is so damn good. Found out from this video that they have a new album out January 21, 2022.
Will be seeing them for the 4thvtime in Asheville NC on February 5th
@@adamburgins441 I’ll be at that show too.
That Gibson in his hands is one sweet ass sound
When you have lived so many of their songs they just hit you different.......MAN!
Like a beautiful sequel to “Ballad Of A Broken Man.”
Amazing songwriting guys.
Jeff, you sound amazing man!
I knew I loved listening to this one directly after “Ballad of a Broken Man” for a reason. Glad to see I’m not the only one!
Just about strained my wrist clicking on this one so fast.
People don't always think of the ones living with the alcoholic, I'm one of them. This song gives me a real perspective of the torment they go thru. Great song!!!
There is a profound solace to be sought in their music. Stunning, just stunning work yet again.
Beautiful song. I too am a recovering alcoholic. Very expressive and soulful fiddle playing with incredible tone. I’m a new fan.
I love when lyrics and melody leave me in uncomfortable tears of heart felt empathy.
This guys are truly authentic, I have been following them for a long time and will always listen to their music.
Holy smokes. That is really fine songwriting, picking, bass and fiddle. Everything is tight. Singing from the heart.
I love this guys tunes
Love your sound. The guy who runs our diner plays a lot of your songs in our kitchen while we work. It adds something special to our day. Thanks.
This is the type of country music that should stay for ever 🙌🏻🙌🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm glad I found Western AF. Countess people I've found through this channel.
Holy fuck, Ashley's fiddle sounds incredible! Heavenly angel of Earth!
When I was a full blown alcoholic man your song hit home and some even comfort or hope knowing someone else felt the same brother
I met this dude when he was busking at CU Boulder in about 2013. Been spinning his CD ever since. 👍🤙
This band was one of things that got me out of a really dark place I was on a 2month drunkin coke binge because of personal problems but ballad of a broken man and I will rise helped push me out of the ville state of mind thanks you guys from one stray hound to another 🙏
Stay strong and keep fighting those demons
You know the first date I took my fiance too was a devil makes three show here in Santa cruz, and these guys opener and I fell in love with the music. I forgot their name and the music was lost. Now I've rediscovered Benjamin Todd and the lost dog street band. And I'm so happy I found them again. This was almost 6 years ago that I first heard them by the way.
Ashleys solo was beautiful
Here's proof that there is still good music out there. It may not be played on CMT or on the Top 100 Country Songs or whatever goes for mainstream media these days, but this is real music that burns but also soothes the soul. Hats off to LDSB.
Ben is 100% my favorite artist. I relate to every word. Thank you Ben, Ashley and Jeff!
I don't think I ever hear a song that I don't absolutely love.. this band is on 🔥
WesternAF has constantly introduced me to musicians I’d have not heard of otherwise. This is amazing!
These guys deserve all the love and more they get. ❤️
Ashley Mae is a Saint. ❤️
My favorite band, after I came across y’all I haven’t been able to stop listening
I have listened to this song a hundred times today LOL
Brought a tear to my eye.
It's so good to see her again:)
Another great song,from my favorite band. His pure talent and raw emotion came across just as hard as their others. Lost dog street band has helped me get through some pretty daunting times in my life and continue to get me through this crazy messed up world we reside on. We are all searching for those pieces we've lost along the way and its so great to have music that can give you something back each day. Thank you!!
Couldn't have said it better myself
Agreed, said so beautifully, you know those comes right out of the heart of experience.
Got damn! This guy absolutely writes the best songs that not only sound amazing but they fit my life so perfectly! Add in how amazing Ashley plays that fiddle and Jeff on stand up and bot of their amazing harmonies! They are the perfect trio!
one day ill see these guys live, then my life will be complete
Since the day this song came out its brought a tear to my eye...
Music is feelings, at its core, and Ben very much understands that. Hence why he doesn't miss.
I'm glad to see so many LDSB fans 🐕🎻🎶
Can't wait for this next album
I got mad love for this band he’s an amazing poet and his wife is right along side so fuckin dope
Probably my 50th time listening to this song in a week 😅
This song was featured on 91.3 KXCI in Tucson
It's always good to see and hear this wonderful duo again, I'm a fan today and forever !!🇩🇪🇧🇷🙋🏻♂️
Your songs help my sobriety while also helping me under my emotions through it but also remind me of the struggles I went through as a alcoholic :) a harsh reminder but also a reminder of where I am now 4 years sober :)
Congrats 👏 👏
@@W47689 why thank you :)
Violin is absolutely beautiful. Everyone is on point with this song
nothing needs to be said............it stands on it's own. every time, every line, and every note.....thanks again LOST DOG.
This song gave me chills, lost dog street never disappoints. Much respect
Ashley’s solo has to be the best ever. How I love this band…
Great song writer, my fav country song of the last 10 years . Just beautiful
Man, I love that real country vibe.
The Cars....Just what eye kneaded!!! 💘 . lovewonanother 👊
We got our daughters name from 1800 Tequila and her name is Jalisco.. she may not like us to much when she gets older but we loved the name and it's unique
Love yall. Thanks for sharing your gifts
Man, I swear Ben never fails to deliver. This fella is an absolutely remarkable singer/songwriter
He don’t miss
This is really good. Shout out to the violinist(Ashley Mae). She did such a great job!
It is hard to imagine anything more beautiful than this song.
Feels real! Very good! Thank you for being you!
Love every single song they have and seeing this title Jalisco bloom I was like ay my parent birth state in Mexico and both side of my family that still live in Jalisco work in the agave fields and producing tequila and this song brought memories of my grandpa telling me stories of his dad producing tequila illegally in a time that hard liquor and alcohol was outlawed even in Mexico and telling me when his mom hid him and his brothers when the military would go and check or go cause some one ratted his dad out and the military dragged him out of there house and beat him in the streets of there town to show to others who tried to produce tequila that they too will suffer the same fate but all in all very good good song
You can't be gone so long, your music is one of a kind I could listen to it all day great song.
I love the mythology and archetypes in this song. Always beautiful even when we were just youths. This and odea, ballad of a broken man. This song feels like the footing those songs found. Like the tune found it's voice finally. It's hard to say goodbye forever to the vice. See you down the line seems easier.
Lost Dog Street Band forever! A national treasure.
Wow....just wow.
*standing ovation*
What a fantastic fiddle solo. The screech at the end sent chills. Could really feel what she was trying to tell us. What an incredible group.
Beautiful, I felt every word ❤️
Lost Dog deliver another pearl ❤️
Ive already played this a couple dozen times at least. Sooner it’s on Spotify the better! Thank you!
That violin solo tho…. They are amazing ….. my all time new favs
Makes my skin feel weird listening to this band. Hauntingly beautiful fiddle solo, thank you.
Way more subtle than thought it would be, nicely so
Benjamin sure has a way with words.
This one hit me.
Hit me deep in the feels.
I absolutely love you guys. I hope all of whatever you're seeking, finds you well and happy. There arent many who can convey their pain and emotion so eloquently and soulfully.
I don't know why but when Ben sings his first line, it touches my soul and i'm hooked.. 🖤
this is fucking great. May be my favourite song by you guys so far, can’t wait for the new album ❤️
It's a beautiful song. Thanks for your experiences once again.
Ben I remember full time drinking. Tequila even, your music is real life man. It was a tough life back then.
As usual... thank you so much Benjamin and Ashley!
I can't stop listening to this. Warms my soul, much like a sip of good tequila.
Gotta love lost dog I travel the country grouse hunting and pheasant hunting and always spread their music
Wow , just wow…incredible talent and lyrics
👏👏👏 gorgeous sounds!! Thank you
Y'all have changed my life with just your music
