You don’t listen to this song.... you feel it

Fucking badass.. one of my favorite artists and I can't tell if I pissed the fuck off that he's not absolutely HUGE or if I'm happy that he's still kind of a hidden treasure. I just hope he's doing well and making a nice living at least because he's as soulful as anyone that's ever been super successful and famous. He's one of my very favorite players/singers/songwriters... he can do it all.. just brilliant!!!

The first dates I had with my now wife were at that bar in Kent to watch Pat. Good times man.

I may never have found it without Pandora.

Exactly how I found him, and this song. It resonates with our past. First listen hit me over the head like a ton of bricks. So much emotion came out of nowhere. Thank you!

That is musical magic

I was looking for matt Sweeney. Thoes shoes came on sounds like a classic

Man I wish this guy would come near Greenville SC.

Actual performance starts at 4:18 . "You're welcome."

wow! all wood and strings drenched with soul!

I was introduced to this song on a local, small town, terrestrial radio station that's scheduled to fold up in a few weeks or so because of things like Spotify and Pandora. It's still in their rotation as of now and it just played for possibly the last time. That little small town radio station was my algorithm. Gonna be sad to see it go.

hey Patrick, Amazon music algorithm put me on them shoes and i love this song, it reaches down somewhere and rings true

Favorite current blues musician. Keep on keeping on, Patrick, can't wait to see you again in Lancaster!

Seen him in concert last week in columbus ohio at rumba cafe...one of the best live performances ive seen!!

Love the honesty what a GREAT story!

Thanks Spotify! Can't get enough of this song.

So excited to have Patrick at our venue Rustic Barn Pub in Troy,Ny on 11/7/16

Super cool performance!

Found this gem on pandora by chance. 10 seconds in.... WOW!

some singers grab you, some music grabs you, some lyrics grab you-this absolutely punches you in the face!! this is the real deal-thank you and your gifts to my ears. there is still hope for talented musicians after all....

All worship the algorithm I fuckin listened to that full album it got me through a bad breakup when I was low AF. I was high AF on heroin then, I’m seven years sober now. Still fuckin continues to jam.

I found ya on KZfaq, and it was "Them Shoes" that got me started, but man I'm a old guy, and you gotta good old time blues soul. I think I've listened to about every song they've got of you on KZfaq, and I dig them all. Come on down to Santa Cruz man. 🎼🍽👣

I was a kid when black keys were my shit. I became a man after listening to Patrick Sweany... Much love to black keys but Patrick had me at sleeping bag.

I BLAST them SHOES everytime it comes on!!!! GREAT PIECE!

I really find it hard to believe i could pick up that exact same guitar and make it sound shitty. This dude rules.

NPR World Café is where I discovered this gem

I found him thru Pandora. Been a big fan ever since.

Lmfao. Hella found this song on Pandora a couple years ago.

Spotify radio mixes likely Black Keys is where this got to me and I was hooked from the first listen. Then I kept noticing almost every time a song comes on I'm really liking and check to see the artist it's Patrick Sweaney. This guy is awesome and I just found he's set to play in my hometown in about month and I am psyched! Also I absolutely love the taped on pickups on that acoustic!

If I may share my opinion....this song is one of Sweeneys best. I don't know if he actually wrote the lyrics, but they definitely speak volumes to me in this life. I have listened to every version of this song that is out there. But thee best version I've ever had the pleasure of listening to is the one that is SLOWED DOWN. In my opinion, this song is played too fast. It needs to slow its roll. You need to understand every word he sings because it's an iconic message this song is trying to convey.

This is going to sound weird, but for a second, I think you took on the shape of a unicorn.

Interesting story, awesome song.

Love that small-bodied guild guitar

Thanks figgy. 😏

found this on my blind melon radio station on Pandora

You are badass

The interview is interesting, but for those you who have already seen it and want to skip to the song: 4:17

Found this on Amazon music.. trailing Black Keys and White stripes😊

Thx scotty👓🎞

Love this !!! Patrick I'm sorry I just discovered you my brother ! But I've got a whole play list of you and black keys! Yall killed it together! And still killing it apart!

PLEASE COME TO ARDMORE OKLAHOMA!!

Yea, I liked that!

lol I even discovered him on sportify

could anyone tell me more about that little box he has as a bass drum?? i;m guessing it's just a normal box with a pickup installed and plugged in to an amp/mixer

This would be even more kickass if played on a 12 string!!!!

He's a Pandora rock star

Goddamn. 👍

Wicked Smart

Pandora brought me here 😸

fuking awesome song

What's the box his foot is on? It's got cables attached but I dont see any activation switch or peddle. Just a stomp box he attaches to his peddleboard maybe?

found him on XM Queens of the Stoneage channel

What's in the box

I have a song about shoes I wrote when I was 20 too

Queens of the Stone Age Channel on Pandora brought me here.

Just found him because of Pandora

What is his kick drum? Is it a mic taped into a box? And what guild is he playing?

i know it’s a bit late now, but the album name is incorrect, it’s “every hour is a dollar gone”

Pandoras studio version is great audio.

Yea Black Keys on Pandora for me too... How blues relates to crossroads demons and this music streaming app called Pandora (as in Pandora's Box..) idk idk Too many conspiracy vids on here lmao

Who the hell was using the peddle? Wasn’t him. Just think it was odd for that to be added in so much

Longmire put you on the map!..jk great song!

it has a Led Zeppelin vibe

The guitar jam near the end was impressive but it throws off the somber nature of the song.

Sounds like a whisky or bourbon commercial

Thanks @ScottyMar10
