This channel reminds of when I was 18 years old, bright eyed and bushy tailed I traveled to a small town in Utah with the promise of meeting the girl of my dreams (who I had met on myspace) The first night I was there she took me to see her local open mic at a little record store. Every single act that came on stage had me feeling the same exact way that all the uploads on this channel makes me feel. Some of the most magnificent talent resides in the smallest corners of this earth. You'd probably be surprised yourself if you take a chance and see where the road leads. Years later the relationship didn't pan out the way I had hoped but I know my life would be completely different had I not taken that chance and landed in a little town called Cedar City. Life is strange and unexpected and I wouldn't change a single thing for all the money in the world. If your ever in that position where your not sure or afraid to take a risk I urge you to just do it. Don't think, Experiences can have a drastic effect on your path through life and even though it didn't turn out the way I had expected, I will forever be grateful to her for showing me this little slice of life. Gems on VHS couldn't be a more fitting name.
I’ve been listening to Max a lot lately and I really like these solo acoustic performances a lot more than the recorded tracks. Not that the others are bad, these are just fantastic.
This released something inside me that’s been building up for years. Half a handle deep and missing her a lot tonight. I love you and miss you more than you could ever understand
Well you can call me Joe It's the lonesome sound of shame Tattooed long ago Are the letters of my name And I've done my time You know I worked the oil rig And all these scars of mine Ain't no way to keep And off cocaine was coffee And pain turned to cash Then I'd be rich and respectable I wouldn't run from the past. Well on the ocean floor Are the dollars made of sand I hitchhike to the shore And go diving when I can The treasures i might find I know are lost and found And I can't think of a friend of mine That'll let me hang around And off cocaine was coffee And pain turned to cash Then I'd be rich and respectable I wouldn't run from the past.
Dear Max this is by far my favorite song of 2018/19 . you keep doing it dude , because its something special and i wish you knew how much this song blew me away the first time i heard it
Perfect setting, perfect song, makes one think of a different time, maybe better, maybe worse. Gems on VHS thank you. If you ever get shakey graves on here I’ll die happy.
Id love to see that. Though id hate for it to be at the expensive of sharing some great songs. Maybe there will be a day, just a day, when we all stop singing in silent protest of some unspeakable evil. You could do it then.
saw him do feet to the fire around a bonfire at entertainment camp at the oregon County fair at like 3:00 in the morning on Saturday i have never seen or heard anything like it before or since there was probably 100 people there and you could have heard a pin drop when he stopped playing
This guy is from right around where I am, if you guys are ever put this way I would love to do something for you guys -much love, keep up the good stuff
Check out the studio recording of this song here th-cam.com/video/SM3ajhuidto/w-d-xo.html Lots of great work on that track including pedal steel by Greg Liesz.

Curved brimmed hat boy pulling his damned heart across those strings
Thanks gems. Wouldn't find half of what you've shown me. And great song man...
More coming, thank YOU for watching.
I’ve been listening to Max a lot lately and I really like these solo acoustic performances a lot more than the recorded tracks. Not that the others are bad, these are just fantastic.
Holy heck, what a fantastic guitarist.
one of the best acoustic guitar tones ive heard in awhile - and he knows how to make her sing.
This is one of the best songs I have ever heard to date
Listen to lost dog street band I bet you’ll love them too
I'm going to see Max G at Red River Folk Fest on 9.21. I'm very new to his music but already my son and I are fans! Amazingly talented!
This released something inside me that’s been building up for years. Half a handle deep and missing her a lot tonight. I love you and miss you more than you could ever understand
I love this song and I love the fact this song has zero thumbdowns , only good people listening this channel. Keep it real GemsOnVhs. Love you guys ))
Patrik Orlicek now there are 27 plonkers. Even if you did not like it, why would you not pass by? Fools.
Love you Max, this is such a cool spot to film!
Well you can call me Joe
It's the lonesome sound of shame
Tattooed long ago
Are the letters of my name
And I've done my time
You know I worked the oil rig
And all these scars of mine
Ain't no way to keep
And off cocaine was coffee
And pain turned to cash
Then I'd be rich and respectable
I wouldn't run from the past.
Well on the ocean floor
Are the dollars made of sand
I hitchhike to the shore
And go diving when I can
The treasures i might find
I know are lost and found
And I can't think of a friend of mine
That'll let me hang around
And off cocaine was coffee
And pain turned to cash
Then I'd be rich and respectable
I wouldn't run from the past.
This is an easy 10/10 song. Currently obsessed with this tune, thanks Gems and Max.
Dear Max this is by far my favorite song of 2018/19 . you keep doing it dude , because its something special and i wish you knew how much this song blew me away the first time i heard it
If Jimmy Fallon and Shakey Graves had a son
maybe he's secretly jimmy fallon's serious musical endeavor?
GemsOnVHS damn😮
this is 100% spot on
I bet he gets so tired of people telling him he looks like Jimmy Fallon.
You beat me to to the gun that is what i was bout to say
GemsonVHS have been blessing us with amazing artists for years now. Thank you guys for all that you do.
I have many favourite songs of Max, but this is definitely in my top 5.
Beautiful performance too.
Gems on VHS is the best thing to happen to music in the decade
thanks brittany, you're too kind.
Ong
Max, you have Bob Dylan running through your veins. So good! Love your voice and guitar playing.
Great songs sometimes hide but they always get found well done again gems
This is a really great song. Keep writing, keep singing buddy.
Perfect setting, perfect song, makes one think of a different time, maybe better, maybe worse. Gems on VHS thank you. If you ever get shakey graves on here I’ll die happy.
Digging the melody finger picking shapes. Doesn't hurt being a powerful poet.
Smile Joe. You've got a good thing going on.
Every artist I’ve listened to I really enjoy. I’m so glad I found great music. I really thank this Channel
great song
I’d really like to know how y’all get such great field recordings. Excellent work. Best music channel on TH-cam.
thank you. we do a lot of different things. should really make a video about it one day.
Id love to see that. Though id hate for it to be at the expensive of sharing some great songs. Maybe there will be a day, just a day, when we all stop singing in silent protest of some unspeakable evil. You could do it then.
his instagram is @Maxgomezmusic / mine are @gemsonvhs @anthonysimpkins !
This channel is nothing but the best kind of music around. I really hope you and these artists go a long long way.
You know I worked the oil rigs too. Out on the Bakken Shale. I don't miss you, North Dakota. Great song...

The sound from recording sounds great on this one !
saw him do feet to the fire around a bonfire at entertainment camp at the oregon County fair at like 3:00 in the morning on Saturday i have never seen or heard anything like it before or since there was probably 100 people there and you could have heard a pin drop when he stopped playing
Max Gomez I hope you go far.....but if you ever performed on Jimmy Fallon the universe would implode.
💥😂
Good one!!! I think Max is one of a kind though. Nice to of found him today.
This is Jimmies alter ego like when garth brooks did rock music dressed up like a punk
Wow.. Amazing man
So good!!!
A gift. Thanks
Great one Max

What are you using to record these?
This song hits so different in the soul, it almost brings me too tears, and I can't put a finger on why😥
Two Gems videos in a week? What is it, Christmas already?

"if cocaine was coffee and if pain turned into cash, then I'd be rich and respectable and I wouldn't run from the past." nice.
Does anyone have any tabs for this by chance??

Max Gomez is Shakey Graves' relative. Change my mind........
How good is Max?
No need for answers folks.... rhetorical question here...!!
I here some Dave Mathews in his tone.
