This and “I think I’ll just go away”

Man I’m so here to second this. I’m weeping.

I agree. I’m not sure what it is about her beautiful singing that touches me, but it does. Absolutely stunning!!

@@terryjohnson1632because when you actually are emotionally invested in a song you are expressing your real self; and when you actually believe what you are singing AND are emotionally involved you are communicating. And when the lyric exemplifies what other people feel; or imbues the listener with empathy, sympathy, or understanding; and the singer isn’t merely performing but is communicating and is believable and the musicality supports the lyrical significance there is an emotional, intellectual, and neurological connection- a shared experience- that transforms the performance into a collective agreement with the audience. THAT is what Elvis, Patsy Cline, Evanescence, Carrie Underwood, Mark Knopfler, Merle Haggard, Nanci Griffith, David Draiman, Jackson Browne, and others had that most popular musicians or performers don’t- the ability to communicate and connect in a mutual experience. That’s also what makes Sierra Ferrel stand out from among the current bands and solo artists: she has something they do not that cannot be taught. But as a culture we accept and laud the popular and ‘successful’ while neglecting other important qualities that we can see in JS Bach, Mozart- even Billy Joel: superior musicianship and intrinsic connecting with an audience. That is way more entertaining than format-crafted “hit” makers that can’t just come on stage and make it work outside a studio.

EXACTLY!!!

there's way too many fantastic country artist from the past for you to say "she's going in history one of the greatest country artist ever" she's a talent to be sure but your statement a bit far fetched but time will tell I guess

She reminds me of a female version of a Justin Townes Earle type of character. Battles with drug use, criminally underrated musician, that will probably never get the recognition deserved

It really pisses me off when people like Beyonce get number one album when much better musicians like Sierra Ferrell never see the light of day.

@@charlesrubio7650 That’s because you confuse popular with musicianship The best vocal musicians of the 40’s- 1980’s were rare. Nearly nonexistent today. Sierra Ferrel has always had ‘that’ glam costuming persona like, say, Alice Cooper, but she has vocal ability and lyrical integrity that is - again- nearly absent from popular music of any genre these days. She is among the greats, and now she’s starting to get popular in the ‘country’ genre. You couldn’t be more wrong.

I’ve been trying to find out if she always tours with them. I’m seeing her in April at the Pageant and hoping that’s the case.

And not forget that this song and similar recording came from the Greatest Band in Music History. John Paul George and Ringo. On top of Apple Studios. Doing what the greatest band ever did many times.

@@bradava1I'm curious about this as well. I've seen her live once supported by different members than the ones here. It seems like, after watching a lot of her videos on youtube, she has different band members in almost every video. I'm assuming they're just session musicians but I hope she can recruit these guys to just be her permanent backing band! They're killer.

@@bradava1this crew is who she has been touring with lately! They’re awesome!

@@bradava1She had this group when I saw her in March of 2023. The chemistry was phenomenal. The fact that they're still here in this video from a few months ago is a good sign. Enjoy the show! :)

Glad you enjoyed it Ron!

Looking forward to seeing her for the first time live, in April.

Ya, different style, but someone to fill Nanci Griffith’s shoes a bit.

Yes, I know! Tears of joy!

It means the music is working.

Music is magick and she is a wizard

I see her live this week and I'm a little nervous I'm gonna cry most of the time lol!

Also Years by John Anderson. She always brings her own sound and pure joy to it.

Yes. Yes. And yes!!!

There is plenty of true talent that exists on stages with far more fanfare than this. It's not on them for putting on a show you didn't appreciate, it's on you for not being able to recognize talent across genres.

@@SethJefferies You are probably right.

Do you know about Charlie Crockett and or Nick shoulders? Lost dog Street band if you like this you should check them out also Zack Bryan used to be cool

@@deadair801 Yes. I know about Charlie Crockett. I'll check out Nick Shoulders. Thanks.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching Courtney!

Paul didn't sing it. John did. And sadly he's gone.
