Took me about a minute of listening to this guy, for the first time tonight, to realize that I had stumbled across something special! Will be purchasing a ticket to see him live in 4 days! I am a rock n roller at heart, but good music is good music!
This is one of my favorite songs John does. It sounds excellent always, but is best when it sounds angry, really attacking the bass notes. He's an amazing musician and blows me away every time I see him- ever since I first saw him when he was 16.
holy shit. that raw plaintive voice, and such virtuosity. can only be carved out by years of diligent playing and listening. he must be a real old soul
I love it. It's cryptic, mournful, haunting and most of all, authentic. I'm tired of all those nashville boys trying to convince everyone and each other how country they are.
I heard this song ONE time a few months ago (in summer) and it haunted me ever since, just now found it, I LOVE it one of the best songs I've heard in a while. John Fullbright is a talented musician and I hope to hear more from him.
Going to see him tonight with Patty Griffin. I have been looking forward to this with unfettered enthusiasm. Rialto Theater in Tucson, AZ here we come!
I heard one song on WUMB & bought the latest cd....listened & loved but just today looked at a video. So surprised to see how young the greatly talented man! Love him!
Wow! Praise the Lord! I love Hayes Carll and thought this guy is similar, but is more unique and got more soul. Kid sings like he has lived for a couple thousand years!
Listen kids, if you don't know about the music that happens in Northeastern Oklahoma you don't know much John R Fullbright Paul Benjamen Wink Burcham Cody Clinton Clay Welch Reed Mother Fucking Mathis Michael Hopper to name a few but the actual list of local legends in that part of the country that truly are national treasures is amazing both living and dead. No one plays with the soul of those cats.
He's just a baby...how in the world does he have such amazing blues chops! Love this guy!
Lyrics beyond his yrs
old soul... i imagine
This is still one of my all time favourite songs :-)

Dead sweet lord what a wonderful song.
holy shit. that raw plaintive voice, and such virtuosity. can only be carved out by years of diligent playing and listening. he must be a real old soul
There's just nothing like John Fullbright. Thank you for this song.

And since when was wearing a cowboy hat and calling your father my daddy whist in your 40s, cool?
Country ain't defined by a belt buckle and a stetson
My new musical love.
Thanks for the gift of your creation.
I could use another 20 years to fix the last 15...haaaa I hear yah there!

+Robin Burkhart - I live in Tucson and The Rialto is my FAVORITE venue. I'm brokenhearted to have missed it!!
Couldn't agree more. Saw him at Sisters Folk Festival in Oregon on Sep 7 and was absolutely BLOWN AWAY!!
I.ve had the pleasyre of seein this kid at the Blue Door in okc. He is an amazing artist. Very original and humble.
Definitely my favorite recording of this song by him
still love ya, if your still alive...
I thought this was Mark Bragg when I first heard it. Love this style of vocals!
This man has Divine Inspiration running strong....
I just love this guy...I know he was Grammy nominated but I don't know why you didn't win🤯
This should have 10 million + views. 🔥🔥🔥
This fella has completely taken over my CD player since I first heard him.
Really, really great. Thanks for this fine music.
Loving everything about this fine and superbly talented Okie.
Certainly a gift from above, this guy is. Music flows through his body and screams out of his soul like money through a drunkards hands.
just bought his album after listening to him yesterday for the first time it was love at the first sound :)
young fella with immense talent and totally unheard of here in Ontario Canada
+greycat2n1 Nope! I am listening and have been listening for 2 years in Northwestern Ontario!
Even less heard of in Christchurch, New Zealand (our little but vibrant country at the bottom of the world).....!! I'm liking what I'm hearing though.
I love it... wow ... this guy knows his feelings
I've been watching this at least three times a day for the past 3 weeks. In awe of this dude.
Just heard him in NPR first time ever listening to his music and fell in love with it
Gotta thank Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion for bringing him to me ears . Truly Amazing!
Our disciple of music♥️.
John smokes a keyboard too, we've seen him several times in Houston, he's a hell of a performer!
awesome lyrics ... excellent presentation.
Geez, this guy is amazing!
This maybe my favorite song of all time! I don't think even John could create this magic again.
This song speaks to the soul
Love the sound of this guy, can't wait to hear the album he's working on!
I was watching him on Jools Holland, absolutely blew me away. He's got something classic and different. Very hard to come by!
The guitar riff just makes me crumble.. Ughh AMAZING
John Fullbright is a rare and wonderful singer/picker/poet..........
truly a wonderful piece of music.
LEGEND
Absolutely incredable!!
Saw him in Katonah, NY last night. Incredible talent.
I heard one song on WUMB & bought the latest cd....listened & loved but just today looked at a video. So surprised to see how young the greatly talented man! Love him!
Hope John plays some dates in the UK sometime soon, he's a real talent
At St. Bonaventures in Bristol on Friday 6th July 2014

Deemoid76 You are right 6th June it is, put it down to a senior moment!
Seeing him tonight at medicine stone!
Wow! This is great! He sure has a sense about himself, doesn't seem 22 yrs old to me. Sings like a man beyond his years.
I am really enjoying this! Wow!
Fantastic. Rarely heard anyone so musical.
How does this video only have 9,000+ views. It is phenomenal and unique all the same... Dang. Keep Rockin bro. You're gonna blow up!!
amazing voice.
This is an incredible song
Wow what a great find! His lyrics are a cross between John Prine and Tom Waits. I will be following this one!
Blues as they were supposed to be! You go, John!
Got tickets looking forward to seeing him live
17th listen of 2022 and it's only February. Sad. 😍
Wow! Thank you NPR, I would have never known. I love this. I hope he comes to Atlanta.
Wow! Praise the Lord! I love Hayes Carll and thought this guy is similar, but is more unique and got more soul. Kid sings like he has lived for a couple thousand years!
moved from Texas to Oklahoma and in about a week I was Oklahoma proud and still am 7 years later. In fact, Oklahoma is more Texas then Texas
I love this song
Music is a ladder that souls may draw nigh unto God, (he gives all his ladder that's for sure.thankyou

He already ripped off the opening lick sounds like
Sweet shirt. :) Oh yes, this song kicks major ass too.
I hear you're coming to TX in Jan. My ol' man and I will be there. You should charge more than $20 a ticket, that's a steal!
Go John!
My lord, this guy channels music.
i wish i could get his songs performed for Music Fog on Apple Music. I really like the acoustic (unplugged?)

Made a fan out of me!
