I saw Willie Watson not longer ago playing with Dave Rawlings and Jillian Welch... what a GREAT concert. I didn't know anything about Willie but walked away in awe of the mans voice... he doesn't need no stinkin' amplifier... love that he plays that old Larrivee jumbo.
Wow, this is clear and beautiful. It's pure public service putting music up the way you do. Thanks.
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs introduced me to Willie. Great voice & picker.
I have followed Willie for awhile from Old Crow to solo. He’s got my music tune and what I like. Woody Gurthie would be proud
so glad i found willie! insanely perfect voice...amazing!
Love his music
Hey Willie.. Don't know if you will see this. I miss you with OCMS ,but You are a gift to music and art no matter what you choose. Thanks for the music.
ps Please come back to OCMS.
Attention Steve Regan!
Willie is not ripping off Waylon Jennings here. The song is a cover originally performed by Charlie Jordon in 1930. If anyone was ripped off it would be Jordan on as he was called "Uncle Skipper"
Mr. Watson should be applauded for making an old song new again and doing in his own remarkable way.
dgotze a child could play that accompianent.
@@edwardnobles6418 and?
@@edwardnobles6418 It is not what you do, it is how you do it ;)
Waylon was doing tge borrowing on this one.
Even in his paste sessions he says the songs off folk singer aren't his originally but besides that it's music? Propertarianism has no place in music. If you want to own the songs then just play them at home by yourself, music is to be shared and experienced no?
Saw him live at Grassroots, Trumansburg NY in the summer of 2019. I’ll never forget it. What a performance. I was riveted to the seat. I heard a man in the crowd say, “ we are about to witness something special.” The act is funny and touching. It’s the kind of talent that tours. You can pay for a ticket but you know you got a gift either way.
Clean, clear, real, salt of the earth sound. Take us down to the water Willie!
I just discovered Willie Watson! Man, awesome folk singer. I'm glad to hear this ...back in the day...cheers from France!
Just saw Willie last night (valentines day) in Denver and going up again to see him tonight! He killed it, I've never seen such an awesome performance by one talented and dedicated musician. Just the way he closes his eyes and gets into his guitar playing and singing. He has the voice of an angel ! Defiantly one of my favorite performances I've yet to see, Keep up the good work Willie! Can't wait for the show tonight!
Bristol Tennessee native here and an absolute honor to have had o.c.m.s. play Rythym and Roots and Willie solo. I love me some Willie Watson!
willie watson, I've only recently discovered your music. I'm so happy too, you bring out the best in this age.
Joseph Finnegan I had the chance to see him perform solo around August and to this day I cant get his performance out of my head. He made enough records with Old Crow and now he is going to do his own thing for awhile and make more records on his own. Dont think we could ask for more.. he was the heart of Old Crow and its thier loss. His small solo gig was a hell of alot more memorable to me than the last time I saw Old Crow. He even came out side and smoked a ciggarette with my girlfriend and I and shat the shit with us for awhile. We have plenty of Old Crow records to look back on But lets just be happy we still have him doing what HE wants to do!
This is amazing, utterly amazing
Most superb Charley Jordan cover!!
Great discoveries every day on TH-cam
Willie I love your music! You’ve shared so many beautiful songs.
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout. Wild Willie on his guitar. Nothin' better.
His Banjo in Stewball runs it close though 😉
Love it! Met him last month - he said new album out beginning of next year!!! Can't wait!
One of the best voices in the history of folk music. Can't wait for the Asheville show!
Terrific job. Kept the spirit and lyrics of Charlie Johnson with a bit of your own character. My 3 year old son and I enjoyed it immensely.
What a star! The show -stealer on 'Big Easy Express'.
66 people coundn´t keep it clean. Willie is the man.
Music at its most pure roots
you were fabulous Willie and i loved your young brothers rendition
God, I love Willie Watson.
Damn, luv me some Willie Watson especially in Bristol Tn son....
Hey Willie, we saw you in Mullumbimby and our ears had a real good time. Might need some of that soap and water in fact
I heard this for the first time this morning on Outlaw Country on XM. I had to find it on youtube. Thanks for posting. Love it !

I've seen OCMS twice since Willie left and both times there wasn't a single song on the set list that Willie sang lead on. They still do the songs off the new album that Willie sang lead on, but just like all their other songs, they have to play them in a different key. And they are definitely going away from the old time folk tunes that they did while Willie was there. OCMS is still a great band and i'll always support them. Mainly because of the amount of respect I have for Ketch as a musician. He and Willie together was something special. But if you had asked me a year ago if i'd rather have Willie still with OCMS, or doing his old solo tour, that's an easy choice. I said when he left they band that they only thing that will make me accept the fact that he is no longer part of OCMS is if he does his own solo tour. Wish granted!!
jmiotke22 Exactly, and I went through a situation similar to this not long ago when John Frusciante left the Chili Peppers (not sure if your a JF or RHCP fan). John was recording some AMAZING solo records a few years ago and although I enjoy the Peppers Id much rather have the guy doing his beautiful solo work... although his last couple electrontic projects he has done have been completely horrible.... so..eh.. yeah.
Back to Willie Watson though, it makes me sooooo fuckin happy to see him staying true to his music and doing his own thing and working with Rawlings, John Paul Jones (Led Zep) ,Paul Kowert (Punch Brothers), etc while Old Crow is opening for Avett Bro's (who are soso/KINDA decent.. but OCMS opening for them???) duets with pop country douches?? Willie made a bold step and I cant wait to grow older on his tunes and follow him throughout the years. Now if him and Justin Townes Earle started touring together Id drag my balls through broken glass for such an oppertunity.
jmiotke22 I agree, Od crow really misses his vocals and style.
Dan Mcqueen Saw OCMS in July of 09 at the Egg in Albany, NY. Critter was obviously out of the band at that time, but Watson was there and he damn near made the show. Jumpin around, barrel rolling on the ground, givin' it 100%. The band was great, but Willie was epic! As for today's OCMS, they're definitely missing something that they had then...
OCMC truly misses him, and I think Ketch just isn't the same without Willie. They had something very very Special . I still love ocms, but Without Willie, they are just another band.
this man is legend
Fucking Awesome.
I do this song, but Willie blows me away.
Almost makes me want to put my guitar down. Lol. :)
Just beautiful man
Willie did this song in concert with the Dave Rawlings Machine at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney last tuesday 16Feb 2016
Fuck, Willie, I love you living, keep on living and breathing and making life cleaner fuck yes.
Amazing ,real quality..
Love the bluesy vibe this tune
I got to see him live with Dave Rawlings. Phenomenal. Best show ever. I didn't know prior to that night that Willie is also a hell of a fiddler. So good!
I agrere. I love Waylon.. hell im named after him. Gotta love Willie Watson and his talents
Thanks Daniel
Gutted I missed him in England, was in the US, saw OCMS live, they were great but missing Willie imo.
I love this. Love his singing and that tasty picking.
man that is awesome! thank you.
you are a piece of music
really loved seein him sing this in Chicago, opening for Sarah Jarosz - what a unique sound!
Furry Lewis uses not only the want to get to heaven verse, but follows it with the "wanna get the rabbit verse," in his song "Kasey Jones" recorded in the 1920s.
Love it!
I like the Waylon tribute thrown in there!
Really nice to hear his voice!
Jeebus, this dude sucks!!!!
mule hears the 1920's--good music daze
Lord have mercy.
SUperb setting (vocals and picking ) of the old Charlie JOrdan song..
Very Talented! But please, join back with Old Crow Medicine Show.
Clifton Hicks
Fuck Yourself.
Old Crow is Fucking great.
Does anyone want to make a compilation of all Willie's live recordings from youtube? I'm right in that there isn't yet an album out, right? Am I allowed to do this?
Errrr
Live is better anyway, specially when it's Willie.
Nevermind I hear, I hear!
Make the compilation.
Then send it to me.
That'd be great. :)
i second this
Wow!
DAMN this is TALENT!
Looks like a young Val Kilmer! What a voice 👌
This is the best rendition of this song since Dave Van Ronk's
I like the Waylon reference. Check out "Waymore's Blues" if anyone's interested.
OH YES......DID I SAY YES.................YES I DID......
I was like #1000
Just saw him live this past Saturday.....wow i had a ball, any way to get this tabbed?
Hey Kevin. I know your request for tabs for this song was 10 mnths ago but if you havnt found them you could probably get from acousticguitar.com website. They published the words and music and tablature in the December 2015 issue and I'm positive it would be in the online version too. this song was written in 1930 by Charley Jordan and covered by numerous people since then. Dave Van Ronk is one and the Raconteurs more recently
Not from Waylon Jennings...
Charley Jordan- Keep It Clean
is he doing some kind of blues scale during the solo? sounds soooo cool
Italia Roma....💙💜💕
Give em a coca cola, lemon soda, sausage ice cream
Cake soapy water
Fart to keep it clean......best lyrics ever!
Bro I just spit my drink out
You and Shannon Jae Ridout gotta perform together sometime,Willie!
Real Music not this modern hell of a shit ...........greetz from Germany !!!
So with the whole "Wanna get to heaven when ya D-I-E gotta put on your coat and T-I-E" etc. Is anybody able to tell me if this is like a reoccurring folk theme, or if he's just borrowing it from Waylon Jennings? (as is part of the folk process too) If anybody'd like to help i would appreciate it
It's actually a cover of an old blues song by Charley Jordan, so I think Waylon borrowed it from him.
Yah, I could tell it was a cover of an older song but for some reason i couldn't find it to see exactly how old to be able to tell which came first. I appreciate the help!
Yea it's a reoccurring folk theme as well. Waylon just tweaked it. Just like other artist with "40 days and 40 nights" "Cocaine blues" "Dehlia" and so forth
mothersgin138 Gotcha gotcha... I love the folk music writing style.
mothersgin138 I appreciate your help
Beautiful video! Was it really live?
Absolutely, every video we've ever recorded has been live.
Can someone please tell me what exactly this song is about. I have a pretty good idea but I could be wrong.
The time period this song was written, many blues and folk songs relied on euphemisms and imagery, especially references to animals, to talk about sex and "animal instincts." Food definitely featured strongly as well.
They also didn't know as much about bacterial vs viral transmission of disease but the germ theory in general was very helpful in avoiding the spread of disease, so cleaning, washing, and good hygiene were thought to be the best ways to avoid disease transmission.
So really I think it's about the natural, but responsible, enjoyment of sex! But wash it good to keep it clean and avoid the spread of STDs (now we know to use protection too, thank goodness).
The tune and the general idea got transfered to the "counter culture" by R. Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders as "Get A Load of This".
please back with ocms
Damn that pickin!!!
Beautiful footage. What did you shoot this with? Lenses? What did you grade it with? Great shooting and great talent.
Hey thanks Shawn! This was shot with Canon 5D Mark III's, lenses used were the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 ART, Zeiss 50mm f/2 Makro and the Canon 85mm f/1.2L II (or maybe the 135mm f/2, cant remember). Footage is pretty much straight out of the camera (Neutral profile) with minor tweaks in Final Cut.
LiveandBreathing Thanks for sharing. Love that you are giving coverage to these kinds of artist and doing it so well. Plus its helped me discover some new bands.
You're welcome, and thanks for your kind words and viewership!
LiveandBreathing Thänks very much, it's great.
What a great guitar! Does anyone know what it is?
Willie plays a Larrivee. Handmade in BC.
Like the Waylon Jennings shout out.
Little bit of Waymore's Blues in one of those verses
do someone knows what guitar he playing?
www.larrivee.com/artists/willie-watson
This lists both of his guitars, they’re both Larrivées. I’m not sure which one it is, I am unfamiliar with how they do their model numbers. I do love the tone Watson gets from his.
What kind of mic is that?
anyone drinking lemon soda while watching?
IZZE lemon lime
I hear Gus Cannon in Willie.
I’ve tried to see a couple times: but what kind of guitar is he playing? Specifics if you know them. 000 body size it seems to be.
Waylon
I love his version of rock salt and nails it's very close to the original version but great nonetheless
boy sure do enjoy me sum good ole 'flatpickin'..willie watson style!! extremely talented feller..tho on this particiular number ..id have ta say he may have stolen some lyrics from another extremely talented feller..whens hes a singn bout heaven..gotta D-I-E..and gettn the rabbit out the L-O-G.....i do believer thems waylons song lyrics..i believe the song was "waymores blues"....yes..waymores blues..love that ole song..hell i loved anything waylon ever did....but man oh man ..willie watson..!..bygod that fellers got some pipes on heem now!! im def a very big fan..as well as one of o.c.m.s.
\
+MrNater1978
Waylon probably stole them --- this song is from the 1930's . To my knowledge WWatson did not change a word from the 1930's version, just did a remake of it.
thanku for the correction! always enjoy expanding my knowledge of music!.do u happen to know the original artist?
Richard "Rabbit" Brown was the original.
Sausage icecream
very good bright ,playing and singing you may be less serious interpreting this song ! you keep it too clean
This is good , but listen to Dave Van Ronk
original th-cam.com/video/bjYz80E94VA/w-d-xo.html
This boy Watson sings and plays very well. However, I must protest most strongly about his wearing braces. I do not permit it. He is far too young for that.
Ok... I like everything about this except the lyrics, which are pretty awful. I am not saying that I dislike the vocals - just the lyrics.
Oh Diz your youtube name is clever as hell...greetings from UO Forums! XD
It's not deep poetry, I'll give you that, but that's the way Charley Jordan sang it and obviously Willie Watson didn't want to mess too much with it.
The lyrics are crazy, but that’s the point. Charlie Jordan had a License to Ill 60 years before the Beastie Boys.
I was liking this until I heard the rip off lyrics D-I-E and T-I-E that's from a Waylon Jennings song "waymore blues".
This is a cover of a Charley Jordan song written before Waylon was born. No shame in Waylon borrowing it. Waylon's great too.
MrAndyd27 good ol' music historian you are!
There's no "ripping off" in folk music. Everything is a part of a long tradition that has come before it. As long as the performer brings something new to the song or performs it in their own style, you are free to "borrow" from others.
Think about the time-period we are living in. Think about the sorry state of what is commercially (and 80% of the time socially) acceptable in today's "country" music. Once you're disgusted enough, watch this again, and just remember that giving half of a shit about music is what brought you to this video in the first place. Who cares what or whose song it is.
At the least, it's gotta please you on some level that it doesn't suck every dick on the planet like almost all of the "country" you will hear these days.
MrAndyd27 Check your facts of who ripped off what from who before commenting. The line was in this song when it was written in 1930.
First off, he’s not even finger picking so I’m not impressed at all
Secondly, Dave Van Ronk’s version of this song is waayyy better
