OH, I'm so glad you're shining a light on Gabe Lee!! He is my absolute favorite! Reminds me a LOT of John Prine in his style and songwriting! I knew you'd love him!
A quick backstory on this video- I happened to be in Nashville hanging out with Lucc (Dobro Player) when she meet Gabe, on a local hiking trail of all places. When he invited her to do this video they had hardly played together at all, most of this is improvised and one take. Gabe is a huge talent and of course he brought that in spades but what I love about this video is how it shows what talent really is with musicians...how to listen to each other in real time and create in real time. Also go out and meet someone...you never know who you may end up playing with :)
I don't play the guitar, and yet I don't miss a video. I love how excited you get over the talent and it introduces me to great music that I might otherwise never hear. Cheers
You can start playing any time! Even if you're not the most creative person in the world, playing music unlocks something in you no matter the skill level. IMO, everyone should have to at least take beginner lessons on some instrument. Having the internet at your fingertips you can learn anytime. Just get a 100$ squire strat starter pack from Guitar Center.
What I love is watching you being blown away in the first 30 seconds the way all of us fell in love with Gabe Lee. He is one of my favorite current artists and easily one of the most I knew I would listen to him for the rest of my life from that first 30 seconds.
I absolutely love Gabe! Both farmland and Honky Tonk Hell are excellent albums. I was stoked when Grady named one of them his album of the year a while back. He deserves a lot more attention than he gets.
He would be honored to hear he reminds you of his inspiration. Gabe is the sweetest guy and the world is sleeping on him. Listen to his song Lyra if you haven’t yet!
I saw him in Dallas a couple months ago with King Margo as his supporting band. Man they were great and Gabe was such a nice guy. So glad you found him!
Michael - thanks for doing my request! Glad more people will get to hear Gabe. I should also point out that the dobro player is Lucciana Costa of the duo King Margo.
His phrasing and investment in the storytelling are exquisite. Nothing extra, nothing omitted. Like a natural pattern of moss on a tree - unimprovable, just right.
Wow. For anyone who sings and writes songs, discovering Gabe Lee is one of those moments when you say to yourself, "Oh shit, that's what I wanted to do!" He's AMAZING! (If we hadn't lost John Prine we would have heard them play together FOR SURE!)
@@StephenLewisful "doesn't matter" shouldn't be the goal and expectation here. People's background matters in the art they produce, and it's perfectly fair to be interested in that. "Not viewed as a barrier or thing to look down on" is the goal. This is something I'm personally really interested in as a Country fan of Asian-American ancestry. There's really not a lot of Country musicians who share my background (probably because Asian-Americans remain mostly concentrated in urban areas on the coasts).
@@Essex626 Agreed. I guess "doesn't matter" is a poor choice of words but I mean more closely to what you are saying. If ya just here him on the radio it's good music. However, if you see that he's Asian, Oh my god, it's still good music.🙂 I see your point now though that his story, like any other artist, is probably a good one and being Asian is indeed, a part of it. Being White, I've never had to call myself a Caucasian-American and so the term (fill in the blank)-American has always bothered me. It's sets the tone of, a primary American and a secondary American and that bothers me. People that see race as you and I do are the good ones.
I’ve watched this probably 100 times! Your analogy of it was spot on and exactly what I was feeling! Thank you Michael, Stephen that submitted it and Gabe for blessing us with it…truly amazing!
Met him when he came up to Appleton with Hollier and King Margo (also amazing artists) and we all hung out after their show. Amazing musicians, but more importantly, amazing down to earth people. Been trying to set up a show with him ever since. 😂
So glad you did a Gabe Lee tune. I've been singing his praises to anyone who'd listen for a while now. Honky Tonk Hell is one of the best country albums I've heard. Some straight-up Dylan-Springsteen-level songwriting.
@@stevenharzmusic yeah... it's funny, I think "Honky Tonk Hell" is a better album than "Farmland," but there's no song on "Honky Tonk Hell" as good as "Eveline" even though they're all great.
Yes yes yes. I was looking for a live version and found one of the goats reacting to this gem of an artist. F to the Yeah. Keep going Michael, Seth from Ohio loves you.
I reccomended this on a Tuesday live stream a few months ago and I think you were too tired to process what you were listening to! 😄 I even said he was the closest thing to Prine we had today and you read it as "Prince!"
I saw him last year at Americana and he is one of the best. Also a heck of a nice guy. The most underrated signer/songwriter I can think of. Really deserves a big breakthrough.
Man, he’s great!!! Just finished adding all his stuff from Apple Music. Looking forward to listening to it all in the coming days! Michael, thanks for posting!
This dude is freaking awesome, gotta be one of the best tenor voices I've heard in a while. Now I'm gonna go binge the rest of your videos while I patiently for the new Polyphia vid :)
When he first started singing it made me think of Tyler Childers” Feathered Indians…and I heard some Bob Dylan in there too. Pretty cool concoction he has going there.
Gabe Lee is awesome! Another independent-type artist to check out is Cole Chaney. His songwriting and playing is top notch! Either the ourvinyl sessions of "charlene" or the red barn radio version of "the flood".
i had commented on another reply - her name is Lucciana Costa and she is a part of a terrific duo (with Rachel Coats) called King Margo - they have a new album and it's great!!
Also , i learned from Michael's online school about the connection of octave chords and how they correspond into scale shapes. I made it through the major and minor pentatonic scales and my mind was blown how i never had a guitar teacher or other youtube guitar teacher connect the fretboard together in such easy to see pattern recognition. Mr. Palomino Rulez
My Exact Though As Well! I stopped the video 1:45 in and found him on Spotify. 2nd song I heard was Eveline and I stopped it halfway through after realizing he sounds just like John Prine and I LOVE me some John Prine. I'd heard enough. I'm gonna like this guy and continued the video only for you stop the video and express exactly what I just thought. I'm still at your 2nd stoppage and I had to share. I'm sure I'll get more excited in the next 10 minutes. Great find contributor! Thanks for the breakdown and for sharing this dude. I assume he's a big John Prine fan the way he sounds and to be compared to him would be an extreme honor...I hope.

My brain had to restart when he started singing. Fantastic!!!
I have never heard a tenor as manly as Gabe Lee. No crazy vibrato, no drama, no insane high notes just good vibes and amazing delivery on every line.
YES

This is super rad; And also makes me miss Justin Townes Earl so, so much.

I heard this guy last night on my way home. Couldn't wait to hear more!

What a great voice.
I was thinking the exact same thing when he first started singing. 🤯 wow!!
His phrasing and investment in the storytelling are exquisite. Nothing extra, nothing omitted. Like a natural pattern of moss on a tree - unimprovable, just right.
John Prine lives on.
He certainly has a gift! Wasn’t expecting that awesome grittiness either. What a voice!
Now I need to go listen to everything he has out.
Great video - thanks for introducing me to Gabe Lee and keeping me practicing every day again.
he's terrific - you'll love him!
Yes! Love Gabe Lee.. he's been on my radar the last few months. Great voice and songwriting
I found this guy in 2020 and have been a fan ever since. Criminally underrated.
Wow. For anyone who sings and writes songs, discovering Gabe Lee is one of those moments when you say to yourself, "Oh shit, that's what I wanted to do!" He's AMAZING! (If we hadn't lost John Prine we would have heard them play together FOR SURE!)

Side note, Gabe Lee's parents are from Taiwan, but he was born and raised in Nashville.
I can't wait til we get to a point where that doesn't matter to anyone.

I thought the same thing about John Prime. Especially his vocal delivery. Very nice.
I saw him in the back room of a bottle shop with roughly 15 other people. It was awesome
Thanks for sharing Gabe Lee!! What a talented young man. Looking forward to checking out more of his material.
I’ve watched this probably 100 times! Your analogy of it was spot on and exactly what I was feeling! Thank you Michael, Stephen that submitted it and Gabe for blessing us with it…truly amazing!
Nice. His whole presence screams Prine, his very shape, but I can hear some Guy/Steve in there too yet he is making it fresh.
My favorite artist in country music! Most underrated singer/songwriter. He deserves all the Love and attention for his music
Gabe is one of my favorite artists running. Truly an original!
Freaking love Gabe Lee! Seeing him love this weekend
This is awesome! This sound and style has been fading away and then you find someone like Gabe and it makes you smile and enjoy the music
Fantastic voice! I'd listen to anything from that voice.
His album Honky Tonk Hell, is a hell of a good time. All dogs go to heaven, Babylon and Blue Ridge Goodbye are some of my favorites.
Susannah is great as well
@@sixtyfore new album out in a month
Definitely a little Dylan in there too. I’m a fan! Can’t wait to dig in to this
Can't wait for his new music!
Met him when he came up to Appleton with Hollier and King Margo (also amazing artists) and we all hung out after their show. Amazing musicians, but more importantly, amazing down to earth people. Been trying to set up a show with him ever since. 😂
First time I heard him, my first thought was “holy John Prine!”
An absolutely amazing player and writer!!!
So glad you did a Gabe Lee tune. I've been singing his praises to anyone who'd listen for a while now. Honky Tonk Hell is one of the best country albums I've heard. Some straight-up Dylan-Springsteen-level songwriting.
Very Good, l hear Prine and a touch of early Bodeans too!!
Well written and played my sir!!
is new album drops at the end of October!
@@stevenharzmusic Oh yeah buddy I'm excited. Rusty and Over you are both bangers.
@@markstriby4941 yes they sure are!!!
WOW!!! this is gold! Thanks for introducing Gabe Lee... now i'm gonna go down that rabbit hole on youtube with gabe lee. Thanks brother! so good!
you'll love all of his stuff!!
My youngest daughter was born last summer and we named her after Gabe's song "Eveline."
maybe his best song!
@@stevenharzmusic yeah... it's funny, I think "Honky Tonk Hell" is a better album than "Farmland," but there's no song on "Honky Tonk Hell" as good as "Eveline" even though they're all great.
@@Essex626 I think Imogene, 30 Seconds at a Time, and Piece of Your Heart come damn close!
It's like something new you've always known. Lovely
John Prine with a touch of Bob Dylan! Great and a terrific musician!
I didn’t read all comments, and I am coming to this late, but close your eyes and you hear contemporary Bob Dylan. Acoustic, lyrics, vocal style.
Loved the opening lick. 💯🖤💯
Gabe Lee! Dates my buddy Cam's sister! That's so cool that you covered this! Awesome....
I loved John Prine. This guy is great.
GABE LEE ROCKS!
OK. My breath was just taken away. Please give this man a shot with Chris Stapleton and let him take off!!! Let this man's voice be heard!
I'm glad I know Gabe . thanks
Damn! He has the RIGHT amount of reverb. So easy to over do it.
My gosh, that was fantastic!
The kids good. Will definitely be a star.
he's getting close to it!
I love the dobro it really gives the song that country feel , I was raised on country music and love it .
the dobro player is Lucciana Costa of the duo King Margo
💜
Yes yes yes. I was looking for a live version and found one of the goats reacting to this gem of an artist. F to the Yeah. Keep going Michael, Seth from Ohio loves you.
I reccomended this on a Tuesday live stream a few months ago and I think you were too tired to process what you were listening to! 😄

I saw him last year at Americana and he is one of the best. Also a heck of a nice guy. The most underrated signer/songwriter I can think of. Really deserves a big breakthrough.
I agree!
Love Gabe. New album coming in October.
I just love watching you connect with the songs you react to. Makes me wish I had your passion just in general.
This guy has all the points that made me fall in love with jimmy buffett
The story telling and the soothing qualities. Unreal
Man, he’s great!!! Just finished adding all his stuff from Apple Music. Looking forward to listening to it all in the coming days! Michael, thanks for posting!
Love this guy. Grateful to hear him. Heavily influenced by John Prine.
His way to sing reminds me dylan, and paul simon too! Love him! 🙏❤️
Fantastic!
This dude is freaking awesome, gotta be one of the best tenor voices I've heard in a while. Now I'm gonna go binge the rest of your videos while I patiently for the new Polyphia vid :)
I feel like you and Grady Smith should sit down and chat about all these underrated artists.
Grady is how I found Gabe a few years ago!
That was so refreshing and good. Thanks!
Thank you Gabe, Steven and Michael. Loved it!
glad you liked him!!
Man he was incredible. Just went to Apple and downloaded 😊
When he first started singing it made me think of Tyler Childers” Feathered Indians…and I heard some Bob Dylan in there too. Pretty cool concoction he has going there.
My god thank you for this! Gabe rules and he's about to blow up!!
yes he is!!
Yes! Love Gabe Lee!
Gabe Lee is awesome! Another independent-type artist to check out is Cole Chaney. His songwriting and playing is top notch! Either the ourvinyl sessions of "charlene" or the red barn radio version of "the flood".
What about the woman playing the dobro? Not gonna give her any props? To me, that was the best part.
i had commented on another reply - her name is Lucciana Costa and she is a part of a terrific duo (with Rachel Coats) called King Margo - they have a new album and it's great!!
Thank you Michael!
Heartbreaker Smile and Alright OK are just impeccable beauty .. breaking guitars 🎸!
Drink the River by Gabe Lee is a must listen!!
This makes incredible artist #3 that this channel has introduced me to, the others being Ian Noe and Patrick Droney. Looooove it
Boom!
Man, I was writing this comment on how he reminded of John Prine and then you said it!
I'm speechless!!!
this man's voice and delivery is Bob Dylan reincarnated....the john prine comp is a great comp to his writing
Great tune. Here’s what’s also happening…
Michael wants to jam and is why he has his electric guitar locked and loaded.
The get down boys enough to cry. The hill benders is another good one
Totally John Prine
Wow, just.....wow!!!
Love it!
Awesome!
John Prine was the first thing that came to my mind as well! God that guy is great.. this guy is pretty good too
Also , i learned from Michael's online school about the connection of octave chords and how they correspond into scale shapes. I made it through the major and minor pentatonic scales and my mind was blown how i never had a guitar teacher or other youtube guitar teacher connect the fretboard together in such easy to see pattern recognition. Mr. Palomino Rulez
Asian John Prine. You said exactly what I was think right in that moment.
my mother claims i have no relation to Prine, but after this comment section I’m starting to have my doubts..
Gabe Lee is the man!
Love Gabe!!
Thanks for the introduction
John Price came first to mind fullstops
Thank you!!
Here again with my daily dose of requesting. I know you will love this song. “Me on you” Muscadine bloodline
What a freaking song y’all 🤯🤯
Hell yeah! I like what I'm hearing!
Fantastic
My Exact Though As Well!
