Nick Shoulders - ‘Old Plank Road’ - Uncle Dave Macon *cover*

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ธ.ค. 2020
- Live from the Ozark...well, I have a winter office in town, but it’s still kinda wild. Here’s one from the depths of public domain, played on a Daniel Lewis handmade banjo with Nylogut strings, tuned to double A#. Worth noting: sporting a JD Crowe memorial shirt and a Lostines custom hat (Lostines.bandcamp.com). Uncle Dave Macon, AKA the Dixie Dewdrop, is arguably a time machine of American vernacular music and one of my favorite torch bearers of traditional tunes, and sometimes: his catalogue gets kinda sketchy. As mentioned before, I’ve enjoyed these covers but they often illuminate troubling themes in American trad music, in keeping with that, examining the past with a critical lens can show us how far we’ve come, not just where we’ve been. Originally tunes available on all streaming platforms!

Your music has been One of my best discoveries this quarantine
I soooooo concur.
Amen
Wtf, this guy has more talent than all the other shit I’ve been finding during this so-called pandemic.
Hot damn son, that some damn skippy banjer there boy.
This man is a genuine songbird. Chills every time.
This mans music hits me at the right time everytime.
Good music, clean desk, this mans a winner
So this man plays guitar, yodels, sings, whistles, AND plays clawhammer banjo. Wild.
You forgot the mouth bow.
and his feets are good drummers too sometimes!
and the fart trumpet on ding dong daddy
Missing Ukulele 🤪
and i think he grew up playing drums in hardcore bands
No words to explain how his music makes me feel ❤️
Sure there is. Good! 😃✌👍
This video needs to be shared. !!
I have a winter office too - at my kitchen table. And I have a summer office - at my kitchen table.
Rather be in Richmond with all the hail and rain
Than to be in Georgia boys wearin' that ball and chain
Won't get drunk no more
Won't get drunk no more
Won't get drunk no more
Way down the Old Plank Road
I went down to Mobile, but I got on the gravel train
Very next thing they heard of me, had on that ball and chain
Doney, oh dear Doney, what makes you treat me so
Caused me to wear that ball and chain, now my ankle's sore
Knoxville is a pretty place, Memphis is a beauty
Wanta see them pretty girls, hop to Chattanoogie
I'm going to build me a scaffold on some mountain high
So I can see my Doney girl as she goes riding by
My wife died on Friday night, Saturday she was buried
Sunday was my courtin' day, Monday I got married
Eighteen pounds of meat a week, whiskey here to sell
How can a young man stay at home, pretty girls look so well
Huge fan Nick. Hope this catches you well. Been listening to these covers damn near the minute you've been releasing them and burning them up. I'd love to hear you cover Cattle Call by Eddy Arnold.
Keep up the good work man! I'll be here to watch you grow.
Cannot wait to see you at the Whimmydiddle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uncle Dave is smiling down with all 5 of his teeth. Absolutely amazing.
yesssss more banjo!!!
Greetings from Germany. Nice nice nice👍

Love that banjo!! Hope to see you in mountain view some day
Man, this is the best thing I’ve come across in a dang long time!
Me too 😊
Oh yeah.. a banjo makes everybody smile. You’re a master in making people feel happy by playing that banjo. Thx Mr Shoulders.
"Are you sure Hank done it this way" man you are an absolute legend sir
Nick, this rules. Love the humor that shines through all your music, not to mention your killer voice and clawhammer skills!
Damn, awesome!
I first heard your original music and one of the first thoughts I had was "this guy has to listen to old ass music" here you go... and Uncle Dave Macon song.
I really appreciate your music. I'm not sure how to help support you other than to comment so the algorithm boosts your content. Keep being awesome brother!!
Amazing!!!
cause youtube should pay more attention & this pads a like
Nick deserves it
Wow. That was mighty fine. Perfect, actually. Really picked me up, like most your music does. Well done, man. Thank you for putting this up.
cool thanks man made my day
Superb!
NICK, I dig your videos. From one banjo picking old punk to another. Stay yourself above all else. I'm gonna look you up somewhere. I saw in that one video a clip of a NOLA street corner in the same neighborhood as BJs backwater bar. Go in and ask for Teal that's a guy I know who can prolly give you a stage.
I like it ! 🤙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
that cheeky lil watch check at the end :P love this guy, hope to see him live one day!
Thank you good sir
much love from KY
Saw this video came out right before I closed my eyes to sleep, and now I am wide awake and ready to dance. Dang, this is fantastic.
YeeHaw! Great to hear killer American music! Love you Nick!!🤘🔥
Why isn't this man famous
Did he interupt building a spreadsheet in Excel to record a song for us? What a sweety!!
This was everything I needed and more! You da bestest Nick Shoulders!
Amazing! I normally just listen to EDM but now I have EDM and Neck Shoulders. Gotta love 2020.
It's about time, been waiting !
You strike a cord in my soul. My heart is smiling. 🤍💚🤍
Refreshing..
Great frailing Mr. Nick! I know great clawhammer banjo when I hear it and this is it. Uncle Dave would be damned proud to play with you!
Awesome. Cheers, man!
Brilliant!
Thank you for putting a smile on my face today.
Fabulous rendition there Nick! I also play in Down in double A#\Bb for singing to also. Superb tuning! I though it was just Clifton Hicks and myself but great to hear you using it with some beautiful overhand/claw hammer playing. Made my Monday morning early shift in the factory all the better I can tell you👌🤘🎶
Good to see you keeping the traditions alive - loving your work Sir .
Mouthbow, guitar, banjo..bring the beautiful instrumentals on, mister shoulders . I'm miss schhh. Much like Charlie brown 😘
Never stop Nick
That's just excellent 👍 Thank you.
Your music brings me such joy, please don't stop!

Every time I see a video is uploaded I get excited cause it's always such a good cover
Thank you! Your voice is pure country 🙂👍🏻.
Outstanding as usual.
Nick, how about a cover of pokey's "Something in the water" ...I think it would be right up your street
I agree! Just about anything Pokey would fit just right.
@@ianwalker682 I can't imagine Nick doing "fuck me up" :o LOL!
but other than that, yeah!
@@Tokinjester lol No I can't imagine that either.
This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson
