It’s 2024. Much has changed in my life in the last decade. So many beautiful moments accompanied by The Milk Carton Kids. And here I find myself yet again.
If no one else is; I lean beside you. and if there is more than us standing out this way of no where we stay together going whichever way you decided. But with everyone in motion what are we supposed to do Without you.... We've been waiting. And here you are again
I am 74 years old, and I have always bemoaned the fact that I was not born Simon AND Garfunkle. Listening to this duo made me weep for days past. Their harmony, in particular, is so reminiscent of the height of the folk era and Simon and Garfunkle. I have become a huge fan. I hope they stay together for a long, long time and continue to write fantastic, beautiful songs and music.
@, Beth Resille: Very well put. I've always said I was born too late. I'm 55 & long for the tranquil, almost hypnotic lyrical content missing in today's music world. It's not completely lost but, The Milk Carton Kids have a way with making one feel they've arrived "home" where all is safe & peaceful. I for one have been a huge fan of these fine gentlemen for years. I believe your hope for their longevity will hold true. They're not going anywhere soon. They'll be around for decades to come ! Check out the concert "Live From Here" with, Chris Thile... The special guests will astound you! th-cam.com/video/pGlXLhnF8G8/w-d-xo.html
These musicians inspire me to pick up my guitar back up and write songs again....I put them down in 1986 after I lost my first and only true love...now I am 59, they restored the music in my heart..they are wonderful, talented and very very gifted ...
I have a first and only true love too. I've been carrying her around with me in my heart for 36 years, and music seems to connect me to that world in a way nothing else does.
The solo bit of "Girls Gather 'Round" is twice as funny when like me you have been listening to the album on Spotify for the last six months and thinking Joey was actually playing the solo.
Wow, I’m so glad we have them to listen to in a time of such musical chaos and refresh with actual talent in song writing with exceptional Guitar playing. TY
I saw them live last night in Dublin and felt exactly the same. They are incredible, it's beyond talent in my opinion. They harnessed the whole theater's energy and just hypnotized the whole crowd for over an hour. Their tone/sound is so sweet, precise and clean, it makes you forget it's only 2 guys with guitars. Pure ear bliss and very funny guys as well!
I now have a beautiful 🤩 grandchild called Charlie too with another on the way.thanks for such a beautiful concert.I’ve listened to this whole concert for years it matures like a fine wine 🍷 so cheers 🥂 boys as I write the thousandth comment at 0515 on the 25 th February 2022
Have they considered naming the next child something different? I see this comment was left two years ago. I hope I'm not too late. If I am, how is it having two grandchildren named Charlie? Does it get confusing sometimes? I imagine it would.
What I love most about the banter parts are the times when Kenneth cracks up along with the audience just listening to the stuff Joey's saying. His expressions during Joey's song introductions are hilarious. So glad this video is here on TH-cam, although I would buy it on DVD too because this band deserves all the support. Their songs are truly breathtaking. So many times I expected to hear wild applause right in the middle of a song because it was just that good!
I have to agree with @Alden Harold Everybody likes Michigan best, you search milk carton kids, every cover is of Michigan. I will honestly say, michigan is in the bottom of my list. Hope of a Lifetime is my favorite song at the moment. The Ash & Clay is by far their best album.
6 years ago i got sober, every now and then i still need to drop by to my roots of what got me here today where i am now. thanks for helping me feel for the very first time in such a long time MCK, you have a way of hitting chords that arent even on those strings.
@Shenbyre congrats on your sobriety! I have been sober for 20 years, 5 months. My son introduced me to these guys about a half hour ago and I'm just blown away by the musicianship and the perfect harmonies. Now, when my son was much younger I introduced him to a variety of music and now he's introducing me to new music. I'm so glad I watched this video. Thanks, son. @Shenbyre keep at it... one day at a time; an hour, a minute at a time.
When I first heard them they reminded me of that duo I really loved to hear. Those perfect harmonies and great acoustic guitar reminded me of The Milk Carton Kids.
These unbelievable, wonderful musicians... harmonies so close you can't tell who's singing what, and playing as if on one guitar. And they're just getting started! What the years will bring forth from these two - the heart picks up tempo in anticipation. Was blessed to be at the Lincoln the night of their October 29 2013 performance, and again this past Wednesday, July 22 2014, at Lincoln again. They've promised a Columbus OH show every tour!!
This is a fantastic performance. There are moments where you are laughing and others where the hair was standing up. I will be purchasing their music and hope to see them live someday.
Unreal! Ive heard their name, but never the songs, till now. Today, the song “Michigan”, has wrecked me. 39 yrs. She was born in Flint. After 4 yrs divorced, thought i was ok. Nope. Ill never recover. Ive played acoustic 50 yrs, these guys are brilliant
This amount of skill, talent and presence within the musical community should not be forgotten... This performance should be studied and talked about in music classroom dialogue for decades to come. Utterly exceptional
I can listen to this in the afternoon and get so much school work done. & I can also listen while going to sleep and not remain conscious for more than 5 minutes.
So sweet harmony and playing in chords and note picking - they just know exactly how much is needed to create such eloquent sounds !!! Kudos, good sirs. Please - Play on !!!!! GBjj
@@TimothyBIinks To say the least. More like 20 years and wicked insane talent. Truly the most talented guitar player I've ever seen and that's saying something over guys like John Mayer or Tallest Man on Earth, John Butler and all the other nuts players. Especially when it comes to doing absolutely ridiculous stuff that's still melodically perfect, I've never seen anything like it. He finds more uses in quicker time of more scales than I've ever seen by an acoustic guitar player with a pick.
I have never liked folk music, but these guys are incredible. When you hear about music that makes you feel something, these guys are at the top of the list.
Still have no clue how Kenneth can play the guitar like he does, it’s crazy. Love it. He makes an acoustic guitar “sing” like there’s another vocalist. It’s amazing.
Not me thinking because I work for Taylor Guitars on the raw necks I can strum like Josh but the dude strums his shit this session like it's his fifth limb, absolute kings ❤️
I don't remember how I discovered Michigan. It's like it just appeared in one of my playlists. But when I listen to it now, after years of doing so, i i can remember driving through the mountains, snow piled up on the sides of the roads, driving to see an old friend. I can smell the car I had at the time. I can smell their house. Amazing what a simple song can do.
Have listened to this like 100+ times. It helps me get my work done! But what I really want to know is, if Lucy turned up and notarized whatever there was to be notarized!
Maybe it's Time to listen to these guys. When I want a lift I watch this concert. Thought I'd get to see them in Chicago a few weeks ago but it didn't work out...but my son was there and loved them. One of these days....in the meantime I have TH-cam. They ROCK.
I only discovered this duo on the radio driving home last night. I was mesmerized immediately. They are Bob Dylan, Rod McKuen, Peter, Paul and Mary, Donovan and Doug Foster combined, with their own musical HONEY, HONEY stirred in like just the right amount of Brandy in your evening coffee. And w/ a droll, dry delightful injecton of humor to entertain us and cause us to forget trouble outside the walls that protect us. May they continue ad infinitum! Thank you gentlemen. Thank you. And now I will set about trying to imitate your style and talent and skill.
Listened to, for the first time.. Tadaaa ... I am a fan :) That would be worth a concert visited - perhaps, one day ... May GOD Bless and keep, inspire and use them, to spread messages of love, hope, comfort and encouragement.. Thanks, for the upload. Greetings from Germany Ruben
I had never heard of The Milk Carton Kids before last night's Emmylou Harris tribute at DAR. What the heck? What have I been missing! They killed it at the show. Now the day after, I've spent all this morning listening to them. Fantastic! Do yourself a favor and just sit and watch this whole video. Did I say Fantastic!
I think I've probably watched (or at least played) this close to a hundred times by now, after discovering it around a year ago. Girlfriend is hating me for it - not because she dislikes the music, she likes it almost as much as I do, but rather because I play it so often - but I can't help it! It's an incredible concert, by an incredible pair of musicians. Such a great connection with the crowd, and amazing music mixed with great humor. Best concert I've ever seen, live or not! I downloaded both of their free albums from their site as well, they have roughly the same stuff that they play here - which I'm not about to complain about!
Just saw them this month in Kirkland, WA - took my 15-year old daughter and she LOVED it - highly recommend their music and catching their show if they come through your area. Amazing musicians, entertaining stage presence, clean show - one of my favorite live shows ever
The writing, the harmonies, the picking, the humor. There’s something special here. One word to describe this...compelling. Also scones. I just thought I’d mention scones.
My wife and I saw them in concerts in Richmond, Virginia about a month ago and we were glad they can also improvise their monologues/dialogues based on the crowd's reaction. A very enjoyable evening!
Perhaps we might learn something. Not you. Clearly not aimed at you. I like an English lecture . Nice to see there are a few Americans who have more than a finger hold of this language. Pray continue 🙏
Those of us who grew up with Paul and Art can sincerely appreciate these guys stepping up to fill any void created by their absence from current stages ... Thanks so much!
These guys are consummate artists. I could listen to them play and talk all night. Saw them in St. Louis and they were every bit as good as everyone said they were.
This is so beautiful ! I think of the great Simon and Garfunkel, The Everly Bros . and Peter and Gordon , Peter Paul and Mary , The Brothers Four , The Kingston Trio . Just wonderful music ! ty
I am responsible for at least 100 listens of this record. The music is wonderful, the humor is funny and the sound is amazing. So grateful to TH-cam for recommending!
I had first watched The Milk Carton Kids perform on NPR Tiny Desk Concert a couple of years ago, but got distracted by the more louder Avett Brothers, who then became my favourite ‘new band’. Then, a few days ago, I stumbled upon them again, when Molly Tuttle covered their beautiful “Maybe It’s Time”, with the Kids (Joey Ryan & Keith Pattengale) backing her up. So, I did some digging and came up with this an hour and thirteen minute long concert that just blew me away. “Michigan” and “Maybe It’s Time” have been playing on repeat since then. Damn, it feels good to find something new music one can love. Sorry Scott and Seth, you need to rest as bit. Joey and Keith will be keeping me company for a while now. :-)
wouldnt say the same thing about their guitars, the martin o-15 that kenneth uses is likely over 3 grand, still doesnt invalidate your point though, these guys could make music with a trashcan lol
18:43 Kenneth gives credit to Joey for his stoic rhythm and vocals. These guys are for real man, proper people playing proper music with proper intentions
Oh my gosh! I* stumbled into this wonderful music and words of these two guys.. They are so GREAT! I am 70 years old---that's old, right? Maybe I/m not TOO old----because I can still hear great music from these super talented guys. Damn, they take their smart for granted. Amazing.
🎵🎵🎵The Milk Carton Kids...🎵🎵🎵 If you have the opportunity to see them perform live, you simply must! Only take quiet, appreciative and respectful people along with you....because the words, music and voices need to all be heard, appreciated & respected! 🎵🎵🎵
Just discovered these gents today. I thought beautiful music was dead and gone. Pleased to be wrong, but they kinda skewed my world perspective, now I must accomodate the idea of a younger generation knowing and feeling the truth of things, and expressiblah blah blah I can't finish this thought gonna listen some more.
The intelligent, well-crafted songs, exquisite harmonies, Joey's acerbic wit along with Kenneth's superb flat picking make a refreshing change from the mindless, auto-tuned dross that passes for music these days. Thanks, guys.
Beautiful tight harmonies, reminiscent of the Everly Brothers and Simon and Garfunkel. I thought I'd listen for a few minutes, and I looked up and it was an hour later...
I was listening to Pokey LaFarge when this came up as a suggestion. I almost passed due to the length and thought, l'll listen to the first song. Hour and a half later and I'm stunned. Absolutely beautiful.
It’s 2024. Much has changed in my life in the last decade. So many beautiful moments accompanied by The Milk Carton Kids. And here I find myself yet again.
If no one else is; I lean beside you.
and if there is more than us standing out this way of no where
we stay together going whichever way you decided.
But with everyone in motion
what are we supposed to do
Without you....
We've been waiting.
And here you are again
I understand. I really enjoy this show and these musicians. The whole experience stirs my soul. Thanks guys
I am 74 years old, and I have always bemoaned the fact that I was not born Simon AND Garfunkle. Listening to this duo made me weep for days past. Their harmony, in particular, is so reminiscent of the height of the folk era and Simon and Garfunkle. I have become a huge fan. I hope they stay together for a long, long time and continue to write fantastic, beautiful songs and music.
Nice
But at least could u spell Art’s surname correctly 🤪
Sorry!

th-cam.com/video/pGlXLhnF8G8/w-d-xo.html
Fooled me too ! Thought they were S&G at first ...
That's Right!
This is one of the most perfectly recorded things I've ever heard - hats off to the audio engineers that worked on this!
I've come back to listen to this concert in its entirety several times. The talent, the quality, the banter... It's all unbelievably enjoyable.
It doesn't get much better than this.
It sure is!
Quite quite True Brother... Jus soooo very Listenable....
Kinda feel like they're the modern Everly Brothers, tho I do hate Myself for saying that...!
They are old-souls that sound like a modern Simon and Garfunkel!
7;&;&
These Guys are truly amazing and sooooo talented... I wish I've known them sooner......
These guys are brilliant. Joey is one of the best stand up comics around.
"What's the fee?" might be one of the most perfectly delivered lines in comedy history. Well done.
It's 2021 and I'm only now finding these guys. Way to let me down algorithm.
me too....I am 75 years old and seems I find wonders everyday...thank you Amazon Music
2024!
These musicians inspire me to pick up my guitar back up and write songs again....I put them down in 1986 after I lost my first and only true love...now I am 59, they restored the music in my heart..they are wonderful, talented and very very gifted ...
rebecca - very sweet post. good for you - it's always wonderful to open up that case again. Sing it!
you play away rebecca let the world hear your song!!!
I wrote some of my best songs (not nearly as good as these) when I was sad or depressed. great therapy.
I have a first and only true love too. I've been carrying her around with me in my heart for 36 years, and music seems to connect me to that world in a way nothing else does.
I'm also 59, and just picked up the mandocello to learn it. Wish me luck! ;-)
For me, the banter is almost as entertaining as the music. It's hilarious. Loved this set. So refreshing.
The solo bit of "Girls Gather 'Round" is twice as funny when like me you have been listening to the album on Spotify for the last six months and thinking Joey was actually playing the solo.
That's hilarious lol
been there lol
That is very entertaining!
What a fantastic evening of theater here. I have watched this many times and will many times in the future, I am sure.
Here we are, nearly 6 years later and this never gets old. It has aged incredibly well.
This kind of music is timeless. I'll bet you in 6 years, you'll still feel the same way.
Hell...I still pull out Hank Williams, all is possible. Bill
Those voices& playing is angelic imo👏👏👏
"Years Gone By" wrecks me every time. 😭
masterpiece, including the comentaries performance between the songs
I have no words - that was one of the top most incredible performances I have ever seen.
+fgbowen I had the same reaction. An incredible performance. I keep watching it in awe. Beautiful~
Wow, I’m so glad we have them to listen to in a time of such musical chaos and refresh with actual talent in song writing with exceptional
Guitar playing. TY
My God, they're fantastic, like a couple of old souls.
I don't think I'll ever tire of listening to this show.
I laughed, I cried... I mean, it's just two guys with guitars, but I feel as if I lived a different life for an hour
Olympic
I laughed, I cried...Love the music very much it is just play it on repeat it for ever
Simon & Garfunkle...
For many hours
I saw them live last night in Dublin and felt exactly the same. They are incredible, it's beyond talent in my opinion.

I come back to this video again and again for that very reason.
@@jaredmh90 , Same for me.
Amazed by the music, and a little smarter too. Win (pause) win.
is Michigan the best and most beautiful chorus of all time? probably
I like hope of a lifetime, stealing romance and girls gather round much more.
Sayan Mukherjee well that’s silly
Might just be, Alden... Might just be.
I have to agree with @Alden Harold Everybody likes Michigan best, you search milk carton kids, every cover is of Michigan. I will honestly say, michigan is in the bottom of my list. Hope of a Lifetime is my favorite song at the moment. The Ash & Clay is by far their best album.
I don't know, playing a song with that title in Columbus , Ohio.
That smaller guys movements are absolutely hypnotic
Watching his hands on a high definition screen played at 480p and they are a blur. Kenneth is a monster.
6 years ago i got sober, every now and then i still need to drop by to my roots of what got me here today where i am now. thanks for helping me feel for the very first time in such a long time MCK, you have a way of hitting chords that arent even on those strings.

How could anyone possibly dislike this?
Lactose intolerant people.
I agree, but then again there were 74 million people who voted for YOU KNOW WHO
@@rgg2727 Gosh people like you are just the worst - enjoy the music and leave your self-righteousness out of it
This is powerful music. Tears of joy running down my cheek. Feels like this world ain't so cruel place to be and we all still got a lot of hope.
Michigan is so haunting.
I've seen this so many times now.
Me too. I just can't stop watching.
I'm back for my probably 10th time, a couple of years later lol
This is a fantastic performance. There are moments where you are laughing and others where the hair was standing up. I will be purchasing their music and hope to see them live someday.
I'm exactly six years late to the party. I guess that's better than never.
Unreal! Ive heard their name, but never the songs, till now. Today, the song “Michigan”, has wrecked me. 39 yrs. She was born in Flint. After 4 yrs divorced, thought i was ok. Nope. Ill never recover. Ive played acoustic 50 yrs, these guys are brilliant
This amount of skill, talent and presence within the musical community should not be forgotten... This performance should be studied and talked about in music classroom dialogue for decades to come. Utterly exceptional
Will definitely be watching this a few more times in this lifetime.
Or this month...
the dead pan delivery of the stories is just brilliant.
I love everything about this.
And the dang sound engineers! wow!
I can listen to this in the afternoon and get so much school work done. & I can also listen while going to sleep and not remain conscious for more than 5 minutes.
Their songwriting actually reminds me most of Don McClean. Keep it going, guys,, you're great!
So sweet harmony and playing in chords and note picking - they just know exactly how much is needed to create such eloquent sounds !!! Kudos, good sirs. Please - Play on !!!!! GBjj
I would give several years of my life to be able to play guitar like Kenneth.
You know he did.
That's exactly what it costs
@@TimothyBIinks To say the least. More like 20 years and wicked insane talent. Truly the most talented guitar player I've ever seen and that's saying something over guys like John Mayer or Tallest Man on Earth, John Butler and all the other nuts players.

He finds more uses in quicker time of more scales than I've ever seen by an acoustic guitar player with a pick.
just start playing , , , life is short , , , if you suck as a musician , , , so what , , , you had fun eh?
Kenneth's playing is magical.
You may enjoy listening to a little David Rawlings. Be prepared for your musical senses to explode.
I have never liked folk music, but these guys are incredible. When you hear about music that makes you feel something, these guys are at the top of the list.
Still have no clue how Kenneth can play the guitar like he does, it’s crazy. Love it. He makes an acoustic guitar “sing” like there’s another vocalist. It’s amazing.
And sing at the same time.
Yes! Definitely influenced by Dave Rawling, but his guitar sounds much sweeter.
@@thomasszejnmann3917In their tiny desk appearance on NPR, he cradles his gorgeous guitar as if it were a child. Heartbreakingly beautiful.
He has crazy skills with that 1954 Martin. I can play but am jealous I can’t do what he does
@@thomasszejnmann3917
He mentioned somewhere that his style is inspired by Dave Rawlings, the both use that dissonance in a similar way.
Not me thinking because I work for Taylor Guitars on the raw necks I can strum like Josh but the dude strums his shit this session like it's his fifth limb, absolute kings ❤️
Snake Eyes is the first Milk Carton Kids' song I heard, and it's still my favorite. Beautiful!!
First time discovering this new favorite. I arrived by way of Simon & Garfunkel in Central Park, NY. Love!
"Nobody said anything about pizza...". Beautiful performance by this two guys, love all the songs.
These guys are so talented. I was in tears when they sang Maybe It's Time. It made me think of my past relationship. 💜😞
Having now see these guys live, I can confirm they are as perfect as the are here. Beautiful stuff.
I don't remember how I discovered Michigan. It's like it just appeared in one of my playlists. But when I listen to it now, after years of doing so, i i can remember driving through the mountains, snow piled up on the sides of the roads, driving to see an old friend.

I'm not a big folk fan, but I could listen to Pattengale play that little Martin all day. Those 2 were made for each other.
He should name her "Charlie"
I only discovered this duo on the radio driving home last night. I was mesmerized immediately. They are Bob Dylan, Rod McKuen, Peter, Paul and Mary, Donovan and Doug Foster combined, with their own musical HONEY, HONEY stirred in like just the right amount of Brandy in your evening coffee. And w/ a droll, dry delightful injecton of humor to entertain us and cause us to forget trouble outside the walls that protect us. May they continue ad infinitum! Thank you gentlemen. Thank you. And now I will set about trying to imitate your style and talent and skill.
Listened to, for the first time.. Tadaaa ... I am a fan :)
That would be worth a concert visited - perhaps, one day ...
May GOD Bless and keep, inspire and use them, to spread messages of love, hope, comfort and encouragement..
Thanks, for the upload.
Greetings from Germany
Ruben
Joey is incredibly funny. Perfect delivery. A comedy show AND a lovely music performance. Good value for money. ;)
Holy shit just I discovered them with this video. The beginning of a love story for me I guess.
I can't believe I just discovered these guys, this is gold!
I had never heard of The Milk Carton Kids before last night's Emmylou Harris tribute at DAR. What the heck? What have I been missing! They killed it at the show. Now the day after, I've spent all this morning listening to them. Fantastic! Do yourself a favor and just sit and watch this whole video. Did I say Fantastic!
I was also there, Geoff. They were fantastic. Actually, the whole show was pretty incredible.
You've gotta watch them on Another Day Another Time - Celebrating the music of Inside llewyn Davis. Wow. They are incredible.
I think I've probably watched (or at least played) this close to a hundred times by now, after discovering it around a year ago. Girlfriend is hating me for it - not because she dislikes the music, she likes it almost as much as I do, but rather because I play it so often - but I can't help it! It's an incredible concert, by an incredible pair of musicians. Such a great connection with the crowd, and amazing music mixed with great humor. Best concert I've ever seen, live or not! I downloaded both of their free albums from their site as well, they have roughly the same stuff that they play here - which I'm not about to complain about!
I LOVE this comment... so much like my life! Make sure you make that wife happy, and keep her happy. Much Love!
I listen to this album once a week.
Whoooo weeee that’s some mighty fine pickin and singin!!!
Just saw them this month in Kirkland, WA - took my 15-year old daughter and she LOVED it - highly recommend their music and catching their show if they come through your area. Amazing musicians, entertaining stage presence, clean show - one of my favorite live shows ever
They're just so polished for only being together for about 4 years.
and they're only getting better!
The writing, the harmonies, the picking, the humor.
There’s something special here. One word to describe this...compelling.
Also scones. I just thought I’d mention scones.
My wife and I saw them in concerts in Richmond, Virginia about a month ago and we were glad they can also improvise their monologues/dialogues based on the crowd's reaction.
A very enjoyable evening!
I was there too! Great show :)
Why is Joey giving an English lecture in the middle of a concert the funniest thing I have ever seen?
That shit was hilarious.
Perhaps we might learn something. Not you. Clearly not aimed at you. I like an English lecture . Nice to see there are a few Americans who have more than a finger hold of this language. Pray continue 🙏
These guys are absolute masters of voice and wood.
Amazing song plus added bonus of comedy! Brilliant
I gratefully hear David Rawlings voicings and colors. Thats a great example of roots growing. You 2 guys are great players and singers! Gems
Yes, if I didn't see who was playing, I'd have thought it was David, hands down...same style and feel.
Those of us who grew up with Paul and Art can sincerely appreciate these guys stepping up to fill any void created by their absence from current stages ... Thanks so much!
These guys are consummate artists. I could listen to them play and talk all night. Saw them in St. Louis and they were every bit as good as everyone said they were.
the smothers brothers meets simon and garfuncle...great chemistry and humor.
It's amazing how this is both the funniest and the most musically mesmerizing show I've seen. Incredible talent from both guys. Just wonderful.
I agree! Well said!
This is so beautiful ! I think of the great Simon and Garfunkel, The Everly Bros . and Peter and Gordon , Peter Paul and Mary , The Brothers Four , The Kingston Trio . Just wonderful music ! ty
So well arranged and precise, so traditionally beautiful and moving.
Worth it for the comedy alone. Music's the best I've heard in a long time.
I am responsible for at least 100 listens of this record. The music is wonderful, the humor is funny and the sound is amazing. So grateful to TH-cam for recommending!
They are amazing. Like a cross between Swan and Flanders and Simon and Garfunkel! Dry humor and superb musicianship.
I really like these guys. Great harmonies and that little Martin has about the best intonation of any guitar I've seen.
I had first watched The Milk Carton Kids perform on NPR Tiny Desk Concert a couple of years ago, but got distracted by the more louder Avett Brothers, who then became my favourite ‘new band’.
Then, a few days ago, I stumbled upon them again, when Molly Tuttle covered their beautiful “Maybe It’s Time”, with the Kids (Joey Ryan & Keith Pattengale) backing her up.
So, I did some digging and came up with this an hour and thirteen minute long concert that just blew me away. “Michigan” and “Maybe It’s Time” have been playing on repeat since then.
Damn, it feels good to find something new music one can love.
Sorry Scott and Seth, you need to rest as bit. Joey and Keith will be keeping me company for a while now. :-)
Bewitching, honest and beautiful.
He plays the guitar like an extension of him. Incredible to watch.
This is some seriously high quality stuff. There's not much out there these days that gets my attention, but this definitely does.
Man, microphones, when used well, can be so effective! This truly rules.
+datalaforge Do you know which microphones these are??
+datalaforge Never mind! Found em here:www.eartrumpetlabs.com/products/microphones/edwina
The recording is trully exceptionnal idd. Up to the quality of their work actually.
agree, i think they spent their guitar money on the microphones :) . just goes to show that its not all about the gear, they just have a great sound.
wouldnt say the same thing about their guitars, the martin o-15 that kenneth uses is likely over 3 grand, still doesnt invalidate your point though, these guys could make music with a trashcan lol
I’ve never seen such unique artists. I don’t know of anyone else like this duo. 😩🥺
Tom and Dick
Thats what makes it so good
Seen these guys twice in Vancouver, they're still amazing as ever. Looking forward to seeing them again in July!
18:43 Kenneth gives credit to Joey for his stoic rhythm and vocals. These guys are for real man, proper people playing proper music with proper intentions
Talented and hilarious.
Wow, just stumbled on this. Wow, I just love their sound. WOW!
I can watch this video for the rest of my life. Most popular music is forgotten with 2 years. Real music lives on forever.
Oh my gosh! I* stumbled into this wonderful music and words of these two guys.. They are so GREAT! I am 70 years old---that's old, right? Maybe I/m not TOO old----because I can still hear great music from these super talented guys. Damn, they take their smart for granted. Amazing.
🎵🎵🎵The Milk Carton Kids...🎵🎵🎵 If you have the opportunity to see them perform live, you simply must! Only take quiet, appreciative and respectful people along with you....because the words, music and voices need to all be heard, appreciated & respected! 🎵🎵🎵
Just discovered these gents today. I thought beautiful music was dead and gone. Pleased to be wrong, but they kinda skewed my world perspective, now I must accomodate the idea of a younger generation knowing and feeling the truth of things, and expressiblah blah blah I can't finish this thought gonna listen some more.
holy shit, how am I only discovering these guys now?!? Absolutely blown away - first class! Instantly my new favourite :)
I listened to this entire concert at least three times in 2020. The harmonies and guitars calmed and chilled me out everytime.
The intelligent, well-crafted songs, exquisite harmonies, Joey's acerbic wit along with Kenneth's superb flat picking make a refreshing change from the mindless, auto-tuned dross that passes for music these days. Thanks, guys.
Beautiful tight harmonies, reminiscent of the Everly Brothers and Simon and Garfunkel. I thought I'd listen for a few minutes, and I looked up and it was an hour later...
I was listening to Pokey LaFarge when this came up as a suggestion. I almost passed due to the length and thought, l'll listen to the first song. Hour and a half later and I'm stunned. Absolutely beautiful.
Same here...
