  • Dear Nick, thanks again for sharing your Arkansas ways and musings with the world. These days the world looks like it's going to burn and burn us all with it, but your music god willing seems to slow its progress, if not reverse it whole. Appreciate getting to know you these past few years. Thanks for getting me the hell out of Wyoming for bit. Here's to a good trip this weekend.
    Mike - 02/08/21
    P.S. Thank you Nick's cousins, Willi Carlisle and Dearl ( Dylan Earl ) for the accompaniment and rolling through the woods with us.
    Nick's new record "HOME ON THE RAGE" is out: 4/20/2021

    One of my proudest moments as a father…My wife texted me that my two year old was singing “Rise When the Rooster Crows” at the top of his lungs in the grocery store.
    We just took a 12 drive to visit grandparents, and him and my 4 year old asked for nick shoulders almost the whole way down.

      we also all have "the right to be productive and active".... laziness is not something to be proud of or to celebrate.

    • @neckshoulders
      @neckshoulders 4 ปีที่แล้ว +48

      @@orion7741 a fair criticism, but I think “lazy” and “indulgent” don’t have to be the same thing, outside of industrial circumstances, productivity is noble, but otherwise...is it? Productive for who? We allow ourselves to believe the myth that all work is inherently good because we all have to work and otherwise it feels like a really raw deal. I’ve made money for awful people working thankless, hard jobs, and I’m not proud of that time I’ll never get back. But I’m proud to work for my community and myself without feeding the rat fuckers up top who depend on people thinking idleness is sin, having a right to laziness doesn’t mean someone didn’t earn it.

    I saw Nick and the boys at Abita Brewery Fall Festival in 2019 while visiting my brother in Covington, LA. I thought the guys sounded great. Nick sat down at my table (by invitation) and I bought him a beer and I bought his CD. It's still in the player in my truck. Nick, if you're reading this, you won't remember me but cheers from Thailand.

    This resonates heavy with me. I'm from Western NC, up in the blue ridge mountains and I'm currently working in Philadelphia as an ironworker. We get to go home and visit every so often and this last time I heard this song on the drive back, just as we created the hill that provides the view of Mt. Mitchell from I-40 that I associate with home. I'll probably always listen to this song whenever I return home and dream of retirement and moving back to where the river cane grows.

    Nick wishing you love, happiness, good health, and continued success on Christmas day. I'm an aging music geek having come of age in the late seventies - a time of wildly creative, fun-loving bands recording straight to tape. It's a wonder to me that nowadays this punk rock spirit is best represented in new American roots music. I (a city mouse) brought my wife (a country mouse) to your New Orleans show last week and it was easily the most enjoyable show in memory. Amazing raw talent, intelligent and thoughtful song writing, and your sound... somebody deserves credit for the production quality of your recordings and live shows. This is golden please don't ever stop.
