Jimmy dale was one of the first to rec this towns classic. He joined jimmys band to sing it wirh him in the ulster hall belfast many years ago. The flatlanders first album changed things for a lot if musicans. Such a great recording, but the more electric stuff is great too. Respect is overdue to the texas flatlanders. From the irish wetlanders.
Hell yeah! If your toe's not tapping you might need to visit your Cardiologist. Robbie is phenomenal. Just the right amount of polish and trash-twang. I have watched this vid so many times I am wearing grooves in it. In the big room with the PC attached to the Marantz and the Cornwalls.
Garrison Keillor did Prairie Home Companion in Lubbock about 7 years ago and these guys were the musical guests. My girlfriend fell in love with Jimmy Dale Gilmore.
It's great. First time I hear The Flatlanders. And just before I discovered Jimmie Dale Gilmore. And Dave Alvin. Such moments are great. It's hard to find good new music and artists and every time I do I feel good.
Had awesome opportunity to see them in Albany NY about when the tour started. Texas native in New England. They may be more relevant up here than they know. Berkshire County, MA guys? Check the area out
Now just wait a minute here. What I just saw was something that could have been from 1,000 years ago, or from 1,000 years from now. If you don't get that, I can't explain it to you.
How many times do y'all think this song has been played on the ACL stage? How many folks do y'all think have done it on this stage? Kinda the quintessential Austin City Limits song.
Wowser Jimmy I know you and Joey but who is the mean guitar player and the guy playing harmonica and singing kind of a cross between Conway Twitty and Johnny Cash cool cool can't believe I've never seen this

Best Texas band ever! If the Flatlanders don't bring a smile to your face, you may be beyond help.
Ha Ha Help, olny joking they are flipping great, hard-rocking country blues, folk ete, they are the tops
I am unquestionably beyond help. And they still bring a smile to my face.
Or dead!
@@henrypierce8900 Bite me Henry, why would you say that?
If flatlanders dont bring a smile to your face you may be beyobd help.
Or dead!
Who in the Great State of Texas would give this a thumbs down. It had to be an accident.
To the flatlanders of texas, thanks for the music through the years. From the wetlanders of ireland!
There are dozens of covers of this great song but The Flatlanders show us how it should be done. This is fantastic.

His "dad" was named "Brian." And he was talented, too. Saw him at my father's funeral. God bless them, All!

It's great. First time I hear The Flatlanders. And just before I discovered Jimmie Dale Gilmore. And Dave Alvin. Such moments are great. It's hard to find good new music and artists and every time I do I feel good.
Jimmie Dale Gilmore's After Awhile album is a great place to start. Beautiful music!
Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
You may not be a country fan (got to admit I'm not) but The Flatlanders have got to get your feet tapping.
His voice is uniquely suited to this song. Love it.

Got it from a horses mouth, "White Freight Shakers" rolling down the Hwy.

Butch Hancock is the third member of the trio, wonderful songwriter. Robbie Gjersoe is the guy playing all the great solos.
@@mysterysurf4554 ah thats who the tele gunslinger is. High hillbilly kudos....
@@mysterysurf4554 theres a surf spot in Morocco near anchor point called mysterys. Have u any connection?
Always Just Right. mmmmmm hhhhhmmmmm.
Is that Jesse Taylor on guitar
no. don't know who but that's not Jesse
Guitar solo approximately 2:25-2:50 is Robbie Gjersoe.
@@alldogspoolandspa Thanks Megan, it does sound like Jesse
Robbie Gjersoe, who I've also seen with just JDG. He's amazing.
