Michael, please check out Hiss Golden Messenger. Even if this isn't his best, he is absolutely worth checking out. Superb lyricist and musician and a real talent. Link below. Loved this video by the way. She is incredible. th-cam.com/video/je9_GjPTwLU/w-d-xo.html
5:13 "It's a pistol and the bottle, it's the drugs and it's the throttle" Damn the melancholy of her voice is Katana sharp. That line is up there in her delivery. My word, you just don't hear words put together and sung with ... what she's got.
@@PF-Fly dude you are so right. She inspired me to write a song just listening to her and learn her song. I sent it to her in appreciation of her work. I had her on repeat for 2 days. I hope she can survive her demons tho. A tender heart and that kinda pain don't make for good outcomes. I sure hope her show on the 18th of March in Nashville(sold out already) gives her some good connections and she can keep movin up. There are few voices that cut your heart like that with so much intonation. .... I keep imagining a duet with Shakey Graves - Roll the Bones song review on this channel. He is another Wayyyyyyyyyy under rated player. It would be a massive hit and people would wonder where the hell they have been hiding. This version of The Night is better recording and every bit as good... and the end you can see the chord changes really easily and her second finger action she uses to vary the chords. th-cam.com/video/MBvje6HlgXk/w-d-xo.html
“Johnny” isn’t some Johnny come lately, she’s referring to the whiskey, Johnny Walker. He called, meaning she wants a drink, but fought it, she told Mr Walker to go home.
Your not wrong but I genuinely feel it’s a double entendres. 100% on purpose if you listen to the rest of her catalog. Like myself (17yrs clean n sober) most people have jst as much of an addiction to the opposite sex as we do to drugs and alcohol. Veryyyyyy often the are one in the same or one leads to the other. Really think that’s what she’s trying to say. When you can’t have one (bcause your sober) you reach for the other, which has its own consequences sometimes heading right back to that bottle
JP-A1A I'm not sure what rock I've been under here in small town Tennessee, but I just recently learned about her and Johnny Walker , the whiskey was exactly what I thought the first time I heard the song. I've been battling my own demons and the first time I heard her sing this song, I felt her pain and mine. I listen to it often.
Morgan is from my hometown! I’ve run sound for her many many times at bars and fests. Jaw dropping, passionate live performances and an incredibly nice person. Glad she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves outside of SWVA.
She is the real deal, I am a music photographer and she is at the top of my list of artists I was going to get in my viewfinder at festivals that got covid canceled in 2020 that I am crying over not getting to shoot. Hopefully 2021 is better
@@tylerlee4996 I know she is on the bill for both Master Musicians Festival and Laurel Cove Music Festival this year, MMF is in Somerset, KY and LCMF is in Middlesboro, KY
Thanks for finally doing this song. This is the story of my life. I was a drug addict for 15 years, at 36 I'm 8 years sober, but those demons never leave you alone, especially all the sleepless sober nights. I wept the first time I heard this song
@Yuri Awesome man! Be proud of those 8 years and continue fighting those demons. I live in WV and have watched the drug epidemic ravage my state and destroy many people I love. You’re so strong to do what you’ve done. This song brings the tears out of me too.
congrats Yuri!! 8, now 9, years is phenomenal!!! massive accomplishment! I know im just some stranger in Texas but im so proud of you! can't wait until you get another 9 yrs under your belt.
Hang in there bro! It’s definitely difficult but find someone you can talk to if needed! You got more people in your corner than you would think! Thanks for your service.
At the end of the day what keeps people coming back to videos like this is the individual reacting to the music. You're a real and regular guy, Mike. You open yourself up to the humanness of emotion while projecting an obvious joy and love of music, as well as the musicality of those we share our thoughts on. Never change, my friend. You're a likeable, respectable guy.
Every songwriter writes songs with a hope in the back of their mind that some day, some will listen and interpret their music as closely and attentively as you just did. Sounds like you’ve lived a life yourself. Great work
Michael you give so much validation to the artists you review in so many ways by really listening to what they are doing. It's very cool. You're a great role model as an artist and a person.
I'll be 9 years sober in April! Greatest gift I ever gave myself! We're never broken we're waiting to be fixed! Life is beautiful! Love each other, always!
I just saw and heard Morgan for the first time on TH-cam and I'm so blown away! She is so original and raw. I absolutely adore her voice, lyrics and everything that she is. She should be heard world wide NOW!
I've dedicated the last 15 years of my life to helping the addicted, and she is not only gifted but her truth could be very therapeutic for so many. Congrats to her for fighting another day, sharing her journey, and to you Michael Palmisano for reviewing it. I just became a subscriber because of it. Thanks!
You’re gonna be so ecstatic to know that shes got her first full length album coming out this year, produced by Sadler Vaden (solo artist, but also the gutarist for Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit).
Thanks for sharing this one Michael! As an addict in recovery myself, this song certainly touched me. I remember being in extreme pain and anguish, wondering how I’d make through the night, or the day, or the minute, without acting out in my addiction.
I know it's been quite a while since you posted this...and quite a while since I first watched it...but I wanted to say Thank You. I've been listening to Morgan Wade and sharing her music as much as I can. This past weekend, I drove from western PA to the Hudson Valley so that I could attend her acoustic show in Tarrytown, NY with a friend that I don't get to see often. We got the VIP tickets and experienced her greatness first-hand. She even changed her setlist to play a song for a little girl that had attended back-to-back concerts in different towns. If you have a chance to catch her acoustic show, don't hesitate. We had a great time that we will never forget. Thank you.
Great video, as always. Love your read on lyrics. Morgan is amazing. I found this song in the midst of my hardest struggles... Eventually I had a psychotic break... Was hospitalized and diagnosed bipolar. The ol pistol and bottle lyric hit me like a truck because I was walking out the door with both when my cousin called me and saved my life. It's been a hell of a long road and it's been a rough one... But it's been two years and I'm still here. Working on my problems and making sure my son is better set up to deal with his own eventually. She helped me a lot
She is straight from the heart real, her music, voice, and poetry. Thanks for the redirect to her music. Her voice is real and is her speaking voice. Having lived a similar background in the country a fourth generation horseman I get it. She's right about knowing people who had pistols and drinking because nothing else to do. So many of those stories, sad songs yet to be sung. In the 90's as many if not more drugs in the country than the city because they were cheap highs for stuck broke young people out of work coming from dirt poor families. Plenty of misadventure while high resulting in broken lives and families. Lots of people will get it and want more and more of her music. She is absolutely the real deal. She's a gem for sure.
i discovered Morgan randomly with wilder days (god knows how this song came to me out here in France) , she is such a bad ass singer and songwriter ... this lady is going to go far i tell you that. I definitely put here at the White Buffalo level !
Talk about an emotional gut punch, I’ve been having a tough time recently, and that song has absolutely reduced me to tears, hopefully in a cathartic empathic way. I sincerely hope that girl is over whatever inspired that song, or at least finding a way to cope with it. It is truly awful to feel that each day is a struggle, and no one should have to.
Every song she writes is 100% better than anything on country radio. I know they sell their tailgate, window rolled down, Friday night crap. It’s a business. That’s why social media is so great so we can hear artist like her.
The studio version of this song gives me major Vaden/400 Unit vibes with the electric guitar riff in the middle of the song. I’m very very excited for this album and hope it brings Morgan tons of success. She’s someone that is easy to root for.
Yep I've known her for a couple years. I have seen her live several times. You can usually hear a pin drop when she starts singing. There's no one like her!
It’s def her voice that’s drives the songs. I’ve noticed she plays pretty easy progressions but then again a good amount of even the alt-country artists do. Still damn good.
Over the years I've watched a lot of 'guitar guys' on TH-cam but only sub to the ones that understand music is more than chords, riffs, etc... Music is about the message. Love, Music & math makes the Universe work. It's a delight to see someone who gets it.
I am so glad that you found her! The only thing is that there is an added layer of brilliance to “told Mr. Walker to go home”. She means Johnny Walker whiskey. Personifying it that way is so powerful. She has become my favorite artist and transcends categorization- like Johnny Cash.
Dude I love Morgan Wade, I tell everyone I know that appreciates good music about her. Her voice is insane, also im pretty sure she is referring to Johnnie Walker whiskey.
My mind likes to talk about everything im not but even worse everything that I am. Easily one of the hardest hitting lines. When your laying there trying to be sober, its not your spine, its your fucking mind. It wont stop.
Only found this channel today and I love how you’ve covered basically every artist I loved early on while they were fairly unknown and usually pretty early in their career (eg this looks like it’s before she was signed). Well earned sub from me
That’s a great line that I still relate to: the voice in my head reminding me of what I’m not AND what I am. Ironically both are negative assessments. I’m listening to a book from maybe 1900 on psychological shadow work that would be helpful for folks like us in this life.
Please, please, bring our lady Lucinda Williams to your channel. Let's show everyone where songwriter souls like Morgan end up when they hit their 60s. Lu is the absolute queen of raw emotion, tearing-down-the-house vocals, twangy Strat noise, and brilliant poetry put to powerhouse roots sound. You must already know and love her -- but I wonder if your subscribers do. She deserves as much of a spotlight as any revered Americana musician.
What a well-written song. She communicates her truth so beautifully. I love it. I came across this channel a couple days ago and every video I've seen so far has been so valuable. Thank you!
This is the stuff I love! 4 chords and the truth. Stuff you don’t get to here, that you have to seek out. Your channel has shown me so many new artists that I’d never heard of. Awesome community, great channel! Love it!
It's a pistol in the bottle/it's a dragon/it's a throttle... Oh yeaaahhh BABY! That right there is some exquisite poetry of the broken soul that has broken whole. And the voice is just....raw.
Thanks for introducing us to more talent! I'd never heard her before, and already love her. It's funny how easy to see how much you love her. You do so many good songs, but it's so obvious how much you love this girl:) me too!
Doing a dive on your channel, always looking for something I haven't heard. I feel like I've been bored and missing something new that really grabs me. This song brought me to tears. Thank you for featuring her and all the music you review❤
All too relatable ... sometimes when you can't find the words, someone else sings them for you. Appreciate you bringing this song into my life, Michael.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The song is amazing and I love how you appreciate the song and the emotional aspect of music. It’s not just about guitar playing - the guitar is the vehicle.
As a huuuuge fan of Isbell and Childers and many like them.....thank you for intruducing me to her. You can’t fake the emotion in her voice or the pain in her eyes. Beautifully tragic painful song
DUUUUDE I had something in my eye the entire time!!!! thanks for reviewing and sharing with the world! definitely followed annnnnd gonna be the next cover for me!
Lucinda Williams - "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road", "Something About What Happens When We Talk" and "Changed the Locks" live in Austin nailed me just that way... then i listened to Essence the uncensored version and i was hooked for life... Her songs seem brutally honest.
Just started learning guitar back in June. Since then I have been hooked on your channel. Never heard of Morgan wade before but I'm so glad you put me on to her
Michael, thank you for helping me discover so many authentic artists and people that have the ability to speak directly to our souls! This is incredible!
Ive been following Morgan for a few years now. You are correct. You can feel her heart, her pain, her success in her voice and lyrics. She is amazing and I hope she continues to write and perform. Looking forward to seeing her at Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion this year.
Through Your Eyes!! About getting herself straight and really powerful story. You’re welcome!! So glad people are discovering Morgan. She’s immensely talented. Great reaction
Michael...thanks for spotlighting Morgan Wade. I will definitely check her out and support her TH-cam channel. I have to say one of the things that keep me coming back to your channel is your authenticity and genuineness. It was clear for all to see how you got affected by her story and the pain that''s infused in her voice and storytelling. I remember you mentioning that your brother had a rough go at life dealing with substance abuse I believe, and so maybe Morgan's story hit close to home but the pain in her voice was written all over your face as you connected with her and it was very moving to see you respond that way. Thanks for what you do brother and keep on keeping on!
I've followed Morgan's progress for a couple of years now and I'm happy she's garnering the attention she deserves. I messaged her and told her she reminds me of a female Jason Isbell and she told me she was working with Sadler on an upcoming album (her latest). She also sounds a little like Dolly to me as well. Thanks for reviewing her music! Check out her song "Left Me Behind" if you get the chance. Worth the listen.
Once again you have done something powerfully good for this young lady and many other good people walking through their pit of despair. It is my prayer this will be her turning point and her testimony through music encourages her to start climbing up into a better life filled with opportunities thanks to your share. Great job, Michael! Exceptional story and song Morgan!
Michael, I came across this channel a little while ago and I love what you do here so please know you are appreciated (as if the 231k subscribers doesn't help). How you speak to your audience and the way you were moved by this song is an indication that you are a wonderful human. Thank you. And I do not even play an instrument.
You're SO right, Bro. Five seconds in and the eyes well up - she's been there, WE've been there. This isn't a song, it's her soul being turned out, pulled into the center of the room for all to see, as unavoidable as death. "Right in the feels," indeed!
Universal appeal. Even if you don’t have an addiction per se, you’ve got something going on that haunts you. The pain is resonating and makes you identify with it. This artist is legendary status out-of-the-box.
Don’t forget to give her a sub: th-cam.com/channels/MORtKGR7P8-0I3opEaKVWQ.html

What is the definition of true country. Where is a line from Hank Williams over George Jones to Morgan Wade
Morgan's singing and songs are very Appalachian in nature (since that's where she's from). She has become one of my 2021 favourites!

Yeah, thank you. I Love it! I can’t hear Through your eyes, without tearing up. It’s beautiful
Another gem, brother. Thanks for sharing your heart and your talents.
Love Morgan Wade. Great song writer and singer.
This is the stuff I love! 4 chords and the truth. Stuff you don’t get to here, that you have to seek out. Your channel has shown me so many new artists that I’d never heard of. Awesome community, great channel! Love it!
Can't beat 4 chords and the truth! Great voice!
It's a pistol in the bottle/it's a dragon/it's a throttle...
Oh yeaaahhh BABY!
That right there is some exquisite poetry of the broken soul that has broken whole. And the voice is just....raw.
It's the drugs and it's the throttle not dragon.
I’m not even 5 minutes in and I must say thank you Michael for introducing me to this song, and another amazing artist!
This is why I love your channel! Never heard of her and yet brought to tears. Again thanks!
Powerful. Thanks for giving me a new artist to obsess over
Thanks for introducing us to more talent! I'd never heard her before, and already love her. It's funny how easy to see how much you love her. You do so many good songs, but it's so obvious how much you love this girl:) me too!
Brought literal tears to me eyes. Such pain. Devastating and beautiful song and performance.
Learned of her from another great Virginia act, 49 Winchester. Simply amazing artist.
Morgan Wade is fantastic. Very real music. Glad you took the time to do this one.
8:57 "I tell my friends and they tell me....." Her face says it all, she was living in the moment!
Doing a dive on your channel, always looking for something I haven't heard. I feel like I've been bored and missing something new that really grabs me. This song brought me to tears. Thank you for featuring her and all the music you review❤
All too relatable ... sometimes when you can't find the words, someone else sings them for you. Appreciate you bringing this song into my life, Michael.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The song is amazing and I love how you appreciate the song and the emotional aspect of music. It’s not just about guitar playing - the guitar is the vehicle.
As a huuuuge fan of Isbell and Childers and many like them.....thank you for intruducing me to her. You can’t fake the emotion in her voice or the pain in her eyes. Beautifully tragic painful song
What amazing song, she has strength of an angel . I'll be praying for her
DUUUUDE I had something in my eye the entire time!!!! thanks for reviewing and sharing with the world! definitely followed annnnnd gonna be the next cover for me!
Lucinda Williams - "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road", "Something About What Happens When We Talk" and "Changed the Locks" live in Austin nailed me just that way... then i listened to Essence the uncensored version and i was hooked for life... Her songs seem brutally honest.
Just started learning guitar back in June. Since then I have been hooked on your channel. Never heard of Morgan wade before but I'm so glad you put me on to her
Finally! I asked months ago for you to check her out, so thankful someone got through. So talented!
Love your channel man. She is great. Her emotions bleed through her music.
Michael, thank you for helping me discover so many authentic artists and people that have the ability to speak directly to our souls! This is incredible!
Well done, both of you🙏
Wow. This song touches me very deeply... Thanks Michael. Damn....
I love the guitar insights, but even more I love your honesty and openness!
Dude, thank you. The story songs by the people that lived them are always the ones that hit home the hardest. Good fucking song
Ive been following Morgan for a few years now. You are correct. You can feel her heart, her pain, her success in her voice and lyrics. She is amazing and I hope she continues to write and perform. Looking forward to seeing her at Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion this year.
Through Your Eyes!! About getting herself straight and really powerful story. You’re welcome!! So glad people are discovering Morgan. She’s immensely talented. Great reaction
Michael...thanks for spotlighting Morgan Wade. I will definitely check her out and support her TH-cam channel. I have to say one of the things that keep me coming back to your channel is your authenticity and genuineness. It was clear for all to see how you got affected by her story and the pain that''s infused in her voice and storytelling. I remember you mentioning that your brother had a rough go at life dealing with substance abuse I believe, and so maybe Morgan's story hit close to home but the pain in her voice was written all over your face as you connected with her and it was very moving to see you respond that way.
Thanks for what you do brother and keep on keeping on!
Love her voice just amazing
I've followed Morgan's progress for a couple of years now and I'm happy she's garnering the attention she deserves. I messaged her and told her she reminds me of a female Jason Isbell and she told me she was working with Sadler on an upcoming album (her latest). She also sounds a little like Dolly to me as well. Thanks for reviewing her music!
Check out her song "Left Me Behind" if you get the chance. Worth the listen.
Once again you have done something powerfully good for this young lady and many other good people walking through their pit of despair. It is my prayer this will be her turning point and her testimony through music encourages her to start climbing up into a better life filled with opportunities thanks to your share. Great job, Michael! Exceptional story and song Morgan!
I love that bbbrrrrrrtttt picking up to that single note.
Michael, I came across this channel a little while ago and I love what you do here so please know you are appreciated (as if the 231k subscribers doesn't help). How you speak to your audience and the way you were moved by this song is an indication that you are a wonderful human. Thank you. And I do not even play an instrument.
Man this was an awesome video. Watched twice now, still gets me teary eyed. Keep um comin
Bit late to the party but again magnificent Michael. Thank you so so much for your depth and openness. X
Just love her music! She sings about life!
You're SO right, Bro. Five seconds in and the eyes well up - she's been there, WE've been there. This isn't a song, it's her soul being turned out, pulled into the center of the room for all to see, as unavoidable as death. "Right in the feels," indeed!
Love you and your channel, I know nothing about the guitar. But you seem to be telling me what I need to hear. Crazy
Geez mike! That one is powerful, thanks for this!
AWESOME. Thank you. 💕🙋💕🎶💕🎵
Love her! Thanks Michael!
Universal appeal. Even if you don’t have an addiction per se, you’ve got something going on that haunts you. The pain is resonating and makes you identify with it. This artist is legendary status out-of-the-box.
