- While travelling through Michigan on a tour with the amazing Pine & Fire, (who are having their own video next week so be ready!) we got to work with the wonderful Les Blackwell. Les sat down and gave us two songs, "Ugly Truths", an original that really hits hard and tugs at the heartstrings, and a classic "Trouble On My Mind", which will be coming down the line sometime.
Les was all laughs and personality the whole time we got to spend with him, and then out of nowhere just cranked out a deeply personal and emotional piece like this. I think this video really showcases his incredible talent and fantastic disposition that just draws you to want to hear more and spend more time with him. It was an absolute pleasure getting to work with him and hopefully we will have some more for you soon.
As always, enjoy, and let us know if you want to be featured on the channel!

hey I don't see any cigarettes. I see a man who sang a song that I feel on such a real level, thank you Les.
This, is soulful music. I appreciate this story. Many of these lyrics resonate. Break generational trauma. We are not our kin. Whether it brother, mother, father, you shape the man/woman you’ll be. 🙏🏽💯

The softness in Les's voice with the line "it still hurts the same, but you don't see it" - plus picking my heartstrings like a gd wizard - absolutely captivating and stunning. Thank you for this exquisite recording of a real artist. 🔥

Heck yeah. Glad I found yalls channel!
Stoked to have ya, love your stuff!
Very cool and awesome to find out your from Dalton Georgia. I used to work there when I lived in Chattanooga. Up in KC now and found you through Quintin Cox.
Damn
Every time I come to this town I think of where we’ve been
And how the time flies when you learn to resent
That blood is more than just chemistry, but I hate the parts that makeup me
So, I’ll pretend that we're not kin
The day you left is the day I said that I’d never be like you
Now I’ve done a few things to make that wish come on true
My anger’s got the best of me I ain’t done the things I’ve seen you do to yourself
And I think the ugly truth
Is that I can’t forgive you
Lord knows that I’ve tried to
Between the bloody face and past mistakes, I know you didn’t mean it
Still hurts the same
Though you don’t see it
I know I made it worse by trying to grow up way too fast
But I’m trying to cure the curse of living in the past
Tried to pick apart the reasons why I can’t seem to cry when you’re around
Probably figure it all out once you’re six feet in the ground
Out of all the scars you left on me the worst is what you can not see
And I’m so tired of trying to breathe
There are things that I can’t say to you, so I’ll sing ‘em till my face is blue
And hope to God that you won’t hear it
And I think the ugly truth
Is that I can’t forgive you
Lord knows that I’ve tried to
Between the bloody face and past mistakes, I know you didn’t mean it
Still hurts the same
Been there too…. Great song to sun it all up
Damn, that hit hard.
very funny intro love that
Les from Sand mountain Alabama ( Ider ) that's awesome 😎 brother
Look at you go, haven't heard about you in a year then I get on TH-cam and BAM! Keep killing it man!
These lyrics are next level ‘out of all the scars you left on me the worst is what you can not see’
‘Blood is more than just chemistry but I hate the parts that make up me so Ill pretend that we’re not kin’
Woahh
That “blood is more than just chemistry” lyric hits like a sledgehammer to the face.
Sounding clear and true Les 🙌
That's beautyfull man. Truly hope your hearth is at peace🙌
hell yea les! gettin out there!
This is beautiful
Beautiful tone homie. Please do a Shane Smith & the Saints Adeline cover
Les🙌🙌
Fartbreath, in Alamo Ca at the moment wanted to tell you .. I Love You. whoever you are, wherever you are... K. C. P
❤️🔥🌱❤️🔥
🎵❤
True words, 6feet under and it feels worse!
🖤🖤🖤
Damn he's from like thirty miles from where I live, it's weird hearing someone say Dalton Georgia in a video lol
Sounds like my dad
Hey, cigarettes are a nice plant based alternative to vaping
Gotta forgive. Love requires it. No love without Jesus Christ.
Those cigarettes really should help them vocals lol
Well did you figure it out now that he’s dead?
A lot kids thought they were cool for smoking when I was little too..... oh wait this guy is an adult
No matter what your father, you can achieve greatness above parental failure. Blaming your father for your sorrow and not rising above that to create a better frame of mind for yourself is wrong. Then, reiterating those failures to your kids as happens a lot is also a failure. Look at the world around you and pick yourself up on the stones of success you can climb and reach around you. If you cant do that, you're a coward.
Happy to be your comments first thumbs down. You must not understand
Wow.. God bless you. I think anyone who calls someone a coward behind a screen is a hypocrite. it's ok YOU DONT SEE IT😮
