Before Kanye West came to Wyoming, Jalan was our most famous musician.
It's really hard to put a stamp on Wyoming music, but Jalan get's pretty close. I think officially, Jalan Crossland was the first concert I ever went to. Hearing him play mountain music like he did, made me realize, this is Wyoming music.

That is exactly what I love about country music and the US in general. The rawness and the freedom. One day I will finally move to y'all. Greetings from Austria.
This is more bluegrass then what you would hear on the radio now a days
@@Blueee51 I have to admit, I also listen to country radio, but this is high-quality content compared to the heavy production you hear on modern country tracks
Wait until we get a real president 😉
@@teresamason1983 you mean like Joe Biden😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you ever make it to Oklahoma, look me up for a good time of fishin, guitar pickin and moonshine drinkin!
I aint heard no banjo like that before,
this dude is a straight killer.
That may be because it is not a banjo, it is a guitjo - a six string guitar on a banjo body. It allows guitar players to make the banjo sounds without learning the banjo. This dude makes it sound great
From cheyenne wyoming here born and raised! The lincoln is a beloved theater that used to play dollar movies and has been around since the cowboy days. It's been turned into a music venue in the last few years, and although it breaks my heart to not get to see movies there anymore, I believe bringing artists like this to our little western town is so amazing!! The lincoln will never die ❤
Since the cowboy days, so not since the 1400's? lmao
2020 can be saved, one banjo breakdown at a time.
You mean banjo shaped guitar
Helllllllyeeeaaaaa
Ganjo
Blank User--- PREACH
Working on it I play banjo, get funny looks sometimes, and I love it haha
This video made me look up this guy...and holy shit, this dude has been grinding. Let's all give him the support he's due
I played in a metal band with Jalan in the early 90s in Pittsburgh before he moved back to Wyoming. Id love to hear him plug in and shred some motley crue these days.
@@smittyfixes8723 The way he plays reminds me of something Dave Mustaine said. I don't play my guitar I punch it in the stomach. Only in this case it is a banjitar.
Well he doesn't know his history
Not to flex but he’s my moms landlord
@@smittyfixes8723
He's metal on that banjer !
Hope he can do a road trip & hit some smol venues & private house & barn venues around the southwest & pacific & nw.
I've seen Jalan play live more times than I can count. Always puts on a great show!
saw this guy open for Robert Earl Keen in Boston back in like 2006. dude was absolutely amazing live, rotating through various instruments, good to see him still crushing it
As a person who has worked in old restored theatres that now do music, it fills me with pride when the “talent” mention the building. As anyone that works in the industry knows, they are are our churches. Big Love ❤️
This turned my coffee into moonshine on the way to work.
How many kids did you hit?
Yes
Jack an coffee is good to, shine and orange juice is for champions haha
Thanks to Jalan Crossland and Western AF for bringing this honest, raw, unpolished tune, this is what keeps me coming for country..
I agree, the overproduction of today's music gets me extremely tired. Nice to see some raw, yet well recorded country.
@@redoberon Less glamour, more soul.
From Australia here ain't many moonshiners here but I love the thought of it out here in our beautiful mountain ranges I live near a PRIME SPOT TO CONTEMPLATING
As a 5 string banjo player I never had much respect for the banjitar until I saw this. Wow!
Met him at a bar in Saratoga Wy a couple of years ago. Real sweet guy, talented beyond belief.
1st time I've ever heard the "banjitar" used in a respectable manner. Good stuff.
I've always called them "guitanjos"...
@@pkornmeyer you’re a bad person
So it’s just a 6 string banjo?
@@darthmusturd9526 Banjos are strung in a different way and with different intervals than guitars. This hybrid is a banjo but strung identically to a guitar.
Equally impressed just seeing him play left handed.
Always a pleasure to work with Jalan.
Thanks again Davey!
David Soules Can’t wait to catch a show. 🤜
He is a cool dude for sure...and a better banjer player ...Wyoming got some good music if you know who to know!
As a Scottish person, we don’t have music like this so this is a blessing
Jalan Crossland is the reason I started hosting house concerts in 2011. Still my favorite. Ya never forget your 1st time. Such a wonderful artist and a fairly decent Human... Love ya Jalan!
Thanks for the great video Western AF!
Shout-out from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia! Hell yes Brother! God this is awesome! Woooo!! Pick that damn thang!
Had the pleasure of seeing him in Ten Sleep Wyoming just last night! So talented, funny and engaging! He had the crowd on their feet! The man can pick!!! I love his raspy voice, too. So happy to have been able to learn of him and hear him.
Cheyenne sure was a lot different back in the 1400's.
Exactly what I was thinking...native theatre?
He hopefully just misspoke. Not sure there was any theatre in America then. Hahaha.
1400’s?
Lol, he definitely misspoke. I believe he meant the 1900's, as the theater he's playing in was founded in 1929.
That must of been when, Christopher Columbus 's Italian Swing Jamboree Band was just starting out.
I’ve listened to this about 100 times, and just realized, the thumbnail is him playing a 5 string and this song is on a 6 string.
*pats own back*
Got to see Jalan when he was opening for Robert Earl Keen in Birmingham, AL way back when. Still have my autographed copy of Moonshiner somewhere.
Glad to see he's still kicking and picking.
Thanks for putting a smile on my face and great music in my ears both then and now.
Traditional music is still in a lot of very capable hands
Discovered Jalan Crossland by accident, now probably his biggest (and only) Dutch fan :) Awesome musician!
Close enough, you ain't alone though; moi
Unique style! Guitar neck, but he gets a lot of banjoistic ideas out of it!! Mad props.
It's a banjitar. Stringed and tuned like a guitar but banjo-like sound.
The Audio mix on this is fantastic!
This song gave me chills... great job
The man himself love ya channel
Love the American roots! I'm now a true fan
WOW, what a beautiful technique. Love to see you in concert.
Made me thirsty, Erin Go Bragh,for the song you fucked up
Wow yet another one
Didn’t plan on drinking. Listened to this song and needed some whiskey.
You mean moonshine
One of Wyoming’s greats 👍🏼🇺🇸
Still my favorite song i play it everyday haha, anytime i think im getting bored of just listening, i watch the video and the magical nature of his picking revamps my love for the song and the cycle repeats
The opening near brought me to tears! Absolutely stunning
That's about the best banjo playin I have ever seen and heard
It kicked into a whole new gear at 2:25 🔥🔥
I’ve gotten to see Jalan perform out in tensleep Wyoming a couple times and it’s always a great show!
You just made a life long fan. Amazing.
I got super excited at first because I thought I saw a 5 string banjo, and then I was a little disappointed, and then I got super excited again when I saw what he could do with his banjitar
Now THAT is music. Getting shivers.
Man I had the honor of seeing you many many moons ago in Sturgis S.D. and I was blown away then just as I am now with your talent. Glad I found this,thanks for bringing back some good memories.
Stay safe my brother 🙏
I absolutely enjoy this video. Great song and performed flawlessly.
Bring Back alot of memories
You can tell he’s a banjoist and not a historian when he says 1400s.
Great music though.
It was the moonshine talkin’ lol
Well half a banjoist at least.
Legend has it the first banjoist to mix up 4 and 9 created Sawmill tuning.
Ha ha yeah seeing as how Columbus discovered the Americas in 1492 and I really doubt the native American people‘s were making a lot of theaters
That rhythm tho.
It's parallel to body music or body rhythm.
Made my fella finish a painting this eve!
Thanks so much for a beautiful song.
Truly amazing!! Keep on ramblin'!
This is my favourite banjo way of playing and love the whole package, singing and all! Makes me what to learn to play banjo. Seriously. I didn’t know there was such freedom for playing banjo
Grandmother's sister was in prison for a few yrs for selling to undercover in 1920-the 30s. Beer and whiskey were made on our old ranch.... after prohibition grandfather made kegs of beer and would feed the poor from Silver city to Mimbres NM... they would come by wagon and model T and camp on our property... Sully the manager for the Kennecott mines would be there on the 4th of July for Grandmother's Birthday.
Mighty, thanks for the post .
Sounds super after 13 light beers !
I listened to it 3 times and just got better
Awesome (and unique) take on the classic!
YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. MORE PLEASE,!!!
This man has lost more than most can imagine... It's his life that is the art I cannot ignore...
Yeaaazz that's the way it's done folks!
Pass this around, this guy is great!
Can’t stop listening to this
Looking forward to April 16th to listen to him jam in Billings. Go away Covid!!!
Wow. Just wow. Exactly the music I did not know I was looking for.
Well if you like that check out the Carolina Chocolate Drops version of Snowden's Jig. No disrespect to the incredible creative force on the banjo here but they were doing sim years ago.
This song made me curl my toes . Thank you for the sweet finger pickin’ 🍄💕
Can put your tunes on anywhere in the world! Always takes me home: any time I get the Big Horn Mountain Blues… Thanks Man 🔥
I've never seen that strumming style, it looks like a ton of fun. Great song brother
A guitjo! Also, holy crap, what a delightful surprise!
what skill.. great track buddy
It's rare to see someone using a 6 string banjo .... love this!
This is AMAZING. Got DAYUM😤👏🏼 *starts stomping foot aggressively*
1400’s 👀 threw me off as well!
don't get no Better Then this much respect to you This song touches my soul
Ahhh yes, 1400s America. A great time for theatre!! All jokes aside great music!
In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Then spent the last 7 years getting to Cheyenne to build this theater 😂
rad video. love this version of Moonshiner...
Idk why, but suddenly I am in a forest making moonshine.
This is awesome keep em coming!
Man this guy can play that sweet music
Coolest banjo tune I have ever heard.
Nice. Real Nice. Thanks for this Wonderful Upload. Regards Frank
I lived in Cheyenne a long time ago. Sure would like to have been at this show!
I think its like frailing, its probably in module or sawmill tuning, I play banjo but Scruggs stlye only
Cold autumn night in Arkansas, and yes, Moonshiner play!
Makes me feel like I'm drunk and have no food.
Good playing.
Just now heard of him while reading Craig Johnsons, Next To Last Stand. Would love to see Jalan in concert
Super duper fire tune 👌🏻
Awesome song! Great job!
This is so cool!
Respect! This is quality music!
Jalan's my favorite, just when i thought Western AF couldnt get any better lol
This is amazing!
HELL RIGHT AND DAMN YES!!!!
Love Jalan! From this to "Bosler" to "Methamphetamine Saturday Night" to his hilarious songs like "Undead Lovers" and "Don't Tase Me Bro!"
All the favorites. 'Bighorn Mtn Blues' though....BOOM!
@@WesternAF "There ain't enough liquor in the county to drink the ugly off of you."

Wow! Simply awesome! What else needs to be said?
I didn’t know mark Lanegan’ was so good at the banjo! ;) great stuff!
Just... Mind blowing
Man that’s beautiful
wow! great stuff...
Freakin top notch!! He needs to do a duet with Mean Mary!
So he's the Eddie van Halen of banjo
Theatre since 1400's! John Colter was surprised to see it when he got to Wyoming in 1807.
So native americans built it? I mean what fuck anyone talking about this theater built in 1400s??
This channel uploads The Real music (!!!). BfK. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Thank you
I LOVE YOUR MUSIC! I lived in Cheyenne. 1929 the theater was built but sure is beautiful 😊
In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Glad to hear someone has the facts. He said in was built in the 1400s 🤦
Nothing like a classic
