It' sad to see untalented musicians in the mainstream but people like Mr. Moreland don't get the recognition they deserve. This is what music is right here. Thank you John Moreland, I love your music brother.
The music production industry is all about looks and charisma and the ability to sell the product to as wide an audience as possible. That's how it's always been, but cultural tastes change and now Bieber gets far more acclaim and reward than true music makers.
I live in Nashville and retired here. The root problem is that everyone wants to be a songwriter/performer but the demand is very limited. The music industry is probably the epitome of lopsided supply and demand economics and for every recording contract or songwriter's job that becomes available there are thousands of candidates to consider from. The market is so tight that writers/performers have almost no chance of even having their work considered. Yet, the hopeful still pour into the city daily. Too bad you can't eat dreams. You should go backstage at the Opry where security has to hold back the dozens of songwriters who are trying to shove lyrics into the hands of the artists as they come off stage. Yeah, Moreland is good... damn good, and it means absolutely nothing.
There's s lot of heart in his songs, it's what's today's music is missing. It's nice to listen to something that makes you hurt a little when you listen to it
I wanna make it out alive, never think about looking back I wanna drive like hell when I steal the devil's Cadillac I wanna take that old Eldorado down a dirt road With "How I Made it Over" playing on the radio I wanna be solid as the earth and cool like the night air I wanna believe even though I know life don't play fair I wanna wear my heart on my sleeve but be tough when I have to I wanna dust off the stars and hang them on the wall for you I wanna ask all the questions with answers we'll never know I wanna find my faith in records from long ago I wanna set fear on fire and give dreaming a fair shot And never give up whether anybody cares or not
Saw him in Oct, 2019. Last show I was able to go to before detoxing. A pin wouldn’t of dared to drop. Love his albums but he’s the best singer/songwriter I’ve ever seen live.
I think you are one of the best current musicians, and a true songwriter.That said i don't really listen to modern musicians, i tuned out years ago, but hearing this gives me a feeling good music is still out there, and i've just got to look for it.
John, thanks for being a hero. I played in bands for years. Took me a lot of time to find my true artist, like you. Bless you my friend. Keep writing songs like Harlan would. Keep it up man. God loves ya!
+from la I hope you don't mind that I posted this beautiful comment on John's Facebook page. I don't know that I've read a better expression of the power of music to make a difference to people.
Hi! great song! is there anyone out there who knows the chords for this song? what I found on Google was where they played the chords F C Bb DM Without Capo But John Moreland plays it with Capo on the third-band and it looks like he plays in D or something? I cant figure it out.. Please anyone help me. Sorry for my english. //Swede
+TheTreankare I had the same problem and same question. Googled "John Moreland Gospel in D" and found this progression. Seems more like the way it's played here. greatbahen.blogspot.com/search/label/John%20Moreland
John Moreland is the greatest of the great and I have been freely band promoting for ages....Did it free on MySpace for many years. They send me their music.....i could send u my empty house address or apartment? The house needs repairs but i loved it and owned it prior to our Son or our Marriage. He the x seems to wish to ruin my kia jeep and house out of hate because i paid for and divorced him. He never bought me a house, car or ring and i bore him a handsome still sweet Son. So he drugs him on toxic street stuff but mostly pot when here at apartment and keeps him from women think he is still a Virgin. Chris needs an intervention but would hate me for he loves this evil stuff his Dad has on him. He would take Todd's blame for things Todd did or forced him to do.

I'm completely hooked! John Moreland you are an angel.
There's s lot of heart in his songs, it's what's today's music is missing. It's nice to listen to something that makes you hurt a little when you listen to it
how can you be lost for words when you put words in here?
One of the most talented songwriters of our generation
Dang, Mr. Moreland... I think I could listen to your songwriting all day long, sir.
I wanna make it out alive, never think about looking back
I wanna drive like hell when I steal the devil's Cadillac
I wanna take that old Eldorado down a dirt road
With "How I Made it Over" playing on the radio
I wanna be solid as the earth and cool like the night air
I wanna believe even though I know life don't play fair
I wanna wear my heart on my sleeve but be tough when I have to
I wanna dust off the stars and hang them on the wall for you
I wanna ask all the questions with answers we'll never know
I wanna find my faith in records from long ago
I wanna set fear on fire and give dreaming a fair shot
And never give up whether anybody cares or not
I love the truth about life that comes through in your songs ! Keep the great music coming!
He is great! This voice goes straight to the heart. Love you John Moreland!
Lost for words at this point. Been jamming to his music for hours. Time to buy an album
In The Throes is a great start!
Tony Huelsman same here Tony. Same here.... he is amazing
me too he's so good
Saw him in Oct, 2019. Last show I was able to go to before detoxing. A pin wouldn’t of dared to drop. Love his albums but he’s the best singer/songwriter I’ve ever seen live.
I will say I am biased because he’s my favorite musician that’s still alive.
The big man is truly very talented. He reminds me of blaze foley
Speaks to my soul

There's more great music out now than ever before...by far. Problem is you have to go find it cuz they dam sure don't play it on the radio.
Bloody amazing. You got me! 🙏🤍✨
the passion and the feeling oozes from every stroke on his guitar. If he has an album, Ill buy it
Can’t stop listening to this!
The only way we keep Mr. Moreland writing and playing his music is if we go to his concerts or buy his music. This I will do because, damn, he's good.
John, thanks for being a hero. I played in bands for years. Took me a lot of time to find my true artist, like you. Bless you my friend. Keep writing songs like Harlan would. Keep it up man. God loves ya!
'Give me the beat boy, free my soul'
