Jason and Benjamin Todd are 2 of my favorite musicians and the funny thing is that their genre of music has never really been something I enjoyed but those 2 artists have such real and raw talent. Phenomenal song writers and singers.
One of the artists that come to mind when I hear people say, "There's no good music coming out these days.". I hope to see him play someday because he is one of my favorite players ✌️
I've had lots of old songs somehow surface up on my TH-cam lately at exactly the time I needed them to. This is a new song, but I definitely needed this one as well. Not sure what a good comment would be. I'm leaving this one just hoping that it helps reach more people. Good song- thank you for uploading.
Been cursed and blessed to ramble for years myself and don't see any end in sight. It's been pretty great discovering JDW and his other bands and having some modern ramblin tunes to go with the old folk songs. If he ever does a show wherever I happen to be, I'll have to go check it out.
Great song writing Jason and picking. Emphasis on the song writing. Just incredible, poignant, lonesome, continuity. Coupled with the charming melody the song pushes you to emphasize with a wanderer. Just found you, you're going to blow up not a single doubt in my mind.
Thought the thumbnail was a new movie trailer for Hugo Weaving. Was surprised that it was actually a folk music video! 😂 Song was great! Happiest accident I've had this month.
Hey there. I am a folk singer. I was so inspired by your music that I wrote 2 new songs, one is called "The Wind" and the other is called October Wind Ron Delby. They are also on you tube. Love the picking and singing.I would love to meet you someday. Im down in Virginia
We Had To Try - Jason Dea West Old lost highway, you call my name. Not afraid of the snow and rain, staying here I just can't breathe. Old lost highway, you call my name. I've been on this rambling spree, I don't own no land, no land owns me. The trainyard's cold, but the ride is free. And when I'm gone, honey let me be. I've got lovers near and far, and I won't tell you who they are. Tomorrow morning we're going to Maine few more days, I'm back on that train. The southwest came for everyone, you can burn to death in the desert sun. The snow is falling up in Vermont, kiss me again before I'm gone. Cuz when I'm gone, I'm long gone, long gone. I'm bound to face this world alone, I miss your smile and your mountain home. Sit me down in your sky-high throne, tell me not to go back on my own. The snow is falling right outside, you're baking Jean some apple pie. Soon it'll be time to to say "goodbye" We both know we had to try. It's back to the land of the sun, stay at home and clean your guns. Soon I will be gone again, kiss me one more time, my friend. Well, west top's called my name, supposed to leave but I wanna stay. Leaving here I just can't breathe, seems the joy out weighed the pain. What seems a joy outweighed the pain.
I mean... most music is performative. Punks take showers. Most "gangsta" rappers have never shot a gun, killed a cop, or joined a gang. Heavy metal musicians aren't actually serial killers. Bob Dylan sold out to Sony records for $200 million. And so on and so fourth. Don't be a hypocrite.

Wow, thanks TH-cam and fantastic lyrics. Loved it.

I always find a song by Jason at the right time. This one was perfect.
Amazing song writer....
I really like hearing a fresh song just after it's finished, thanks for sharing.

I think I remember that fellow from Applegate valley in Oregon ...
"O'Dea" is the man. How can I pay you back good sir???!!
Practice random acts of kindness and senseless beauty.
- to strangers and in secret! 😉
Play it brotha play it
my main squeeze hates how much i love this song
Never gonna understand how Jason Dea West and Lost Dog Street Band and Matt Heckler don’t have more listeners.
They are real talent. I don't get it either.
Damn fine @ 4am out west
Ben n you sound so much alike bet yet are so different
Wow
🌵🌿
That dude looks like he's packing heat
Just going to shoot this out there. I would like to hear this guy with Benjamin Todd. That would be epic
Barefoot surrender
