the best thing about shakey graves is the amazing variety he can give the same song in different performances. his live recordings sound nothing like his albums, and every one is unique. best folk artist around.
Both shakey and the tallest man on earth are great, but in my opinion the greatest folk artist is a title held by "the suitcase junket" he isnt very famous but i think he should be. Look him up and tell your friends.
I listen to this when I'm happy, pissed off, ecstatic, anxious, nervous, or desperate. I listen to it on road trips, on my way home from school, before sports. Built To Roam is awesome along with Alejandro
just to be comletely honest im so passionatly obsessed with his music i listen to it every day he is my idol , i dont worship hip or anything im just an aspiring young musician and i admire his style, and most definitive his talent and creativity/ingenuity .thankyou for your most wonderful contribution to music,inspiration , and society
Great voice he really seems to make the most of what he's got, I like the chance of pace at the end of the song and just the sound of his guitar in conjunction with a little percussion drum Thank's for posting on TH-cam and letting us listen
We did something different in Lubbock, usually we just record with the bands and you get to see the videos eventually. In Lubbock we had every band play at the Blue Light throughout the week and then we would record these videos with them the next day. So normally I would say you couldn't have seen them anyways since it's normally just band and crew, but in your case you really could have. We may come back, but we'll try and make sure you hear about it this time!
We're in the process of making our music available for sale, so stay tuned. Also, we're recording with Shakey again at Pickathon in August, so there will be a lot more coming from him. We still have 4 other songs he did in Lubbock that should be coming out over the next month.
Been trying to figure out the picking pattern for this song for the better part of year and for the life of me I can’t do it. Always been one that the more I listen to it, the better I learn it but this song especially his version of it I can’t do it. Brilliantly done Shakey.
agreed! I discovered him a few months ago but I still come back here to listen because hes not on spotify! Glad to find more people discovering him. he deserves it!
I was listening to some Shovels and Rope on here and it led me to these videos. Man... this guy is just awesome! Another in a long, long line of great Texas songwriters. And just a great video... great production... I've got to get down to Texas!
Curse the engineer who turned down the part where he actually went higher on "howl at the open moon" that yell was soul-piercing and I've never seen him do that before
I think people are starting to catch on. But we agree, he is incredibly talented. Check out "Late July," it's one of my personal favorite videos of all time.
I hear Cobain, Morrison and Followill all churned up in Shakey/Rose-Garcia's music. I like them more this way, as expressed through him collectively, than I do as individual artists. Did I just find my new favorite artist?
The fact that this has been up since 2013 and it doesnt have over a million views in 2020 is mind blowing.
It's now 2024 and the video is at 938k! I must have listened to it 100 times myself.

Kate West Have you heard of the artist 'Tallest man on earth' ? very similar to shakey graves. Search Tallest man on earth npr tiny desk concert.
The problem is that he does it so much all of his songs end up sounding the same.

what a casual bad ass
That should be the title of his next album.

One of the best American (I assume) indie artist I have heard for many years .
North America/ South America... So, technically we are all American's. Someone from Brazil told me this. I like it
If you ever see him again definitely say hi, he's one of the nicest dudes I've ever met.
What! Every live version sounds different and I fucking LOVE it! I would pay good money to see Shakey live!!
Lucky for you, his tickets are usually in the $30 range. Venues tend to be very intimate as well.
It is may 2020 n I just heard this cat for the first time 2 weeks ago! ROLL THE BONES💕💕🤘🤘🎸🎸
This mans music will change your life 😍
One of my favorite versions.
very refreshing to hear something different.
It's like Ray Lamontagne and Jeff Buckley were pieced together in a lab somewhere. What a musician this guy is!
just to be comletely honest im so passionatly obsessed with his music i listen to it every day he is my idol , i dont worship hip or anything im just an aspiring young musician and i admire his style, and most definitive his talent and creativity/ingenuity .thankyou for your most wonderful contribution to music,inspiration , and society
nice. love his vocals
at 3:31, i always get the chills. his voice and guitar just work so perfectly together.
shakey graves live and in studio are two completely different things and they're equally magnificent.
Amazing tune ❤
Simply amazing. touches the soul!
I literally love Alejandro so much. If you ever read this I just hope you never stop playing because you make so many people so happy
Great voice he really seems to make the most of what he's got, I like the chance of pace at the end of the song and just the sound of his guitar in conjunction with a little percussion drum Thank's for posting on TH-cam and letting us listen
Every time I listen to these live performances I look around and I'm saddened I'm the only one experiencing this feeling
I love this song and I can't watch a shakey graves video without falling in love with him all over again by halfway through.
Not at all, one of the nicest, most humble, genuine people I've ever met.
I think by now, I am half of these views. I keep tapping the refresh button. Shakey, your way of expressing yourself is beautiful. Thank you.
Real music real feelings real talent
Exactly... Real music. Not what people listen to nowadays... Only real people
this is "nowadays" currently isn't it? And people are listening to this. So this is what people listen to nowadays. And it's good.
What a talented dude. Incredible.
you make my soul drift into realms I didn't know existed
This is timeless. How have people not caught on harder
Man I love this music
They should have put up the whole live set. This is by far the best versions of his songs
House of blues version is best I've heard yet this is nice and slowly played
Can't wait to see him June 15th @ the Bottleneck in Lawrence! Super excited, most talented shakey graves, bravo!
Shakey Graves has me shakin´
I just discovered him... I am amazed he is brilliant!
Can´t wait to see him roaming around the world.
That suitcase drum is awesome.
Holy cow !!!! This guy is fantastic! Finding stuff like this is when I say thank goodness for TH-cam.....

this is my fav version of this bad assed jam! I too shakey was built to roam.
I don't know how many times I've viewed this video. The "Live In Lubbock" set is amazing. My fav versions of a few of his songs are from that set.
This guy is AWESOME !!!!!
Play this song everyday! Thanks Shakey
Saw Shakey live in ATL and he gave me a shirt for my birthday--truly is an awesome person, made my birthday complete.
He's such a great a musician and so sweet too, how can you not like him?
Man, Shakey, you should really make yr way over to Santa Cruz, CA. Or anywhere in this area. It would be an honor to see you perform.
Thanks Daniel!
agreed! I discovered him a few months ago but I still come back here to listen because hes not on spotify! Glad to find more people discovering him. he deserves it!
Been watching Big Bang for years- never knew Raj could rock it like this!!! : )

Amazing talent !!!!!

Curse the engineer who turned down the part where he actually went higher on "howl at the open moon" that yell was soul-piercing and I've never seen him do that before

Agreed, I hope he gets some music uploaded to Chartburst asap!
There will be soon, we are working on it so stay tuned!
Great !!!
I hear Cobain, Morrison and Followill all churned up in Shakey/Rose-Garcia's music.
I like them more this way, as expressed through him collectively, than I do as individual artists.
Did I just find my new favorite artist?
left speechless
Amazing. Not sure which version of this I like best.
same. though his sweatshirt in this one isn't as lovely as the tank top in audiotree.
agreed.
You're welcome Jacob!
Incredible
You're welcome!
