i'm 67 and been a music fan all my life but i've never heard anyone like shakey .its like i'm hearing guitar music for the very first time. i'm not smart enough to understand his style i just know its f___ing good

Been watching this man pour out his soul since the views were in the hundreds, and now he has millions. So happy to know how many people have found and appreciate his music.

Saw this dude live at the pheonix in Toronto in december 2014. Guy broke his fucking bottom guitar string. (not sure what it's called) and he just hummed the notes he was missing. Shit was epic as fuck. I don't fanboy over very many artists but this dude earned my attention. So I'm proud to be his fanboy!

I can't even do this. This is the kind of music where when I hear it I feel grateful to be alive just to hear it being played.

Pay attention to where this is performed and the narrative of the song, the very ill fitting timings, theres a lot going on here. Pretty dark stuff but very beautiful also. I've been a musician most of my life and ill say without doubt this man cannot be beat. He is everything, all at once, incredible.

"Wanna be in my band?" "No." "Hey you, wanna be in my band?" "No." "Cool, don't need you guys anyways..." ..... turns out to be the most bad ass musical act on youtube.... This guy is the real deal.

I shared you to 6 who can, hopefully, multiply to thousands. - I absolutely love you Shakey Graves, not to go without mention - Droopy Wieners.

I love how original he is. Almost every time I hear him play one of his songs the kapo will be on a different fret and certain parts are just improvised. Been listening to him on repeat for like two days.

He really has brought something truly different to the table like no one has before him.... Its fluid its raw its innocent and has a distinct uniqueness that through all my 20 yrs as a folk player i have never seen... I tip my hat to you alejandro!!!! Much love brandon farrell

dirty, gritty, real. this is real country music, even if nobody wants to say it. granted there's no drinkin on a plane or patio boat or chick's in short shorts, or country singers with 100$ jeans with frosted hair but it's definitely definitely middle American country GOLD , love it love it love it !!

Dude has more talent in his pinky than 90% of artists these days. Truly Unbelievable. Can't wrap my mind around the hate this receives.

Fucking changed my life.. for real. You simply can't find many storytellers like this anymore.. his live shows never disappoint. Unlike some artists, his records just keep getting better, and better... and...... then better.

What If I never hear a new version of this song again after this? One of the best parts of Shakey is that; NO song sung two times is the same the second time.

he makes me proud to be an American when not much else these days does.

This man is playing folk in 7/4 and 5/4. Fucking folk.

It's hard to not fall in love with this guy. These old videos are 🔥 they're just as meaningful as they were years ago...

Excellent! That's not sweat oozing out of his pores--that's TALENT.

He's always so sweaty! I'm not mad about it...

This mans soul should have been the blueprint for the creation of humanity.

I’m in love with the added cicadas singing in the background.

favorite spy kids character right here.

I stumbled across this video bout 5 yrs ago...then I became obsessed with the musical madness that flows through ol Shakey!🎵 Happy I turned other people onto him...including my grandson ..sings every word, he's two!

Shakey has easily transitioned into my favorite (all time) musician. I listen to him literally every single day, and have been doing so for over 4 year. He is an amazing musician, and I strive to be as clean as he is with his music. I was fortunate enough to watch him live in Eugene, OR, a couple years ago, and it was the best concert I've ever been to. Can't wait for him to return, because I will not miss an opportunity to watch him live. Thanks for your great work Shakey, and keep it up brother. You're spectacular.

This is the stuff every one wants to hear.

Shakes Graves is a 21 century live born for KZfaq artist. He is can only truly be experienced live you are meant to watch and feel him play his songs as much as you are supposed to listen to them. So many of his songs the best versions are all live jam sessions on KZfaq the audiotree sessions are just one example, another is when he does pandora with Esme. He gives me hope for American folk.

My o my, thats one fresh,damn good looking man! His voice is beautiful and the way he plays that guitar could make any girl shake!

Sweet Jesus! Thank you for my hearing...thank you! Thank you for my eyes....I am blessed!

for some reason this song makes me wish I was driving across America with everything I own while my partner sleeps next to me

He live and breathes it - no that man IS music!

It's art, this song... I want a cold beer, sitting in the shade under a big old tree, listening to this song ten times in a row;)

my boyfriend just fell in love with this guy

This song, your voice... took my breath away and made me get up and dance. Gratitude Shakey.

the voice, the guitar, the beat... the combination together... gives me bloody goosebumbs

2nd son , in a large family , forgotten and ostracized, loving my people for them to hurt me and the women I love, loving them long past their departure. Trying to hold my people together and myself from a battered mindset. Wishing the woman I loved was here beside me. Taking strides to lead , but can’t seem to lead my mind out of this rut. Baby steps I suppose. Loving yourself is never easy people. It’s hard to forget the missteps with people , jumping the gun to attempt to reach for the life you’ve been praying for. Every day I’m reminded of the holes in my unlucky skin.

You gotta like a guy that likes, old barns.

Haha. We see the seed that eventually becomes "If not for you" on his newest album, at the beginning

What I wouldn't give to be sitting on that bench in this barn seeing this first hand. Love me some Shakey Graves!

♥️

I LOVE YOUR STYLE! LISTENING TO YOUR MUSIC MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE!!

Man... I just love him!!

Makes me want to go pick up my madolin and get back on the tracks. Makes me think of all my family all over the country.

Cannot believe I just found out about this guy yesterday ...Love the emotion behind his voice. Says a lot about an artist.

I miss this shakey ....hope he returns

If this world was right people like this kid would be famous

I feel every self proclaimed artist should really appreciate such a raw form of a dying breed of music keep up the great music shakey much appreciated!

yup just bought his album, after discovering him 30 minutes ago

Your music makes my ears so happy.

Absolutely breathtaking. I love you man.

5 years to the day, and this video still rocks my world. Thank you, Shakey!

Just found this great musician today.... new favorite.

favorite…

Got tear rushing to my eye..dont even know why!!! Brilliant artist

He is so beautiful! Music is amazing, touches my soul!

BIG FAN!!! i just love it...

I am digging this!

Fan from California

Love what you do.

Just discovered this guy. Amazing talent. Great style too.

Amazing talent!

Such a beautiful unique quirky gentle blessed talent... viva la Shakey!

One week till I get to experience this live..........cant wait!!!!

He is amazing.

A true fan of yours Shakey Graves. Unique and talented. Looking forward to witnessing your progression.

A song born of the soul.

this is absolutely perfect - got home yesterday of 4 hours of work... Whisky on the rocks ---- chilled with this (euphoria)

I love this song like crazy...

Was randomly in Austin for a random out of town work visit, driving 35 mph at 7am and heard an interview with Shakey and a music sample, instantly fell in love with the sound at 7am which is hard to do with a late riser. This is an unheard of jewel

picked up his album last week. great stuff

This guy is AMAZING.

Seeing this guy in "Sunny Scotland" can't bloody wait!

What an awesome tune…❤️

I could never be more in love with a voice and style than this. It is the 2000s dylan

one of my fav songs..some of the best lyrics and so talented

I wish he would put more of his live stuff on Spotify!

An abundance of soul. It's that simple!

Goddamn! Why on earth do this man's albums not sound like his live performances?! So many musicians cannot pull off live what they manage with the help of an expensive studio and all the "help" that comes with it - Shakey seems not to manage to convey the brilliance of his live playing in his albums somehow... Anyone know where I can get my hands on live recordings of his?

We should all be so brave and lucky to bare our soul in such a meaningful way.

Shakey graves is the greatest bluesman of our time

you so lift my heat , blessings to you , Aloha , namaste, so much love X

Having a hard time with med micro ATM & I'm frustrated as a mutha! This song came on, made me sit back and honestly kind of made my heart skip a beat, love Shakey. Thanks for helping me re-focus..

Dying to learn this song right now!

Songs about life for sure

Thank you, Shakey Graves, for making such amazingly hypnotizing, beautifully sweet, ineffable music--as always. You're the best!

Yep, got my Shaky introduction live in Denver. best I heard in while.

Wow, this guy is amazing, I love it!!!!

Love this😍

Sperding the beautiful message brother and I love you

I can't wait to see you perform tomorrow night!

I love your music! Going to listen to this, while I make a gumbo.

Beautiful guitar, brilliant sound. Amazing all around.

This is some good, pure music. I dig

What were those 14 people thinking when they hit the thumbs down button. 1000 people can't be wrong. But hey to each his own. One man's poison is another man's medicine.

Sing that beautiful message brother I love you

Love it! Great stuff!

Without facial hair he resembles Lou Diamond Phillips... 😍 I am in love with his soul!
