Damn

So right

That version is 1000 times better, but I do enjoy this video.

'I got goosebumps on that one.'

What version are you referring to? Are u able to post a link?

got it in one. This strips the energy and spontaniety from a heartfelt song.

Amen. If it ain't broke…

Assuming she didn't make this version in her own way is a bit rude. It's Sierra, I reckon anyone attempting to push her into something she aint comfy with, would meet the business end of a size 7 boot.

@@molforteneliere3216 calm down there buddy. The fans are entitled to express their opinions. Many of them have been with her since she was busking on KZfaq. And I agree with the sentiment that this is over produced.

This is the problem with all 'company' recorded music... This album seems to pull her personality out of the song.

This video rocks! Well done Sierra! Much love from the Black Country, UK

Bravo!!! Watched it twice already and sent it to my boyfriend at work lol

Just like how I grew up. I take my daughters (8 and9)pony riding every Saturday morning and they absolutely love it. Tomorrow will be a hot day too.

Its simply beautiful!!Love it girl!!

Lovely video, can’t wait to hear and see you in bend, oregon! Yum

Don't think twice.

@@reddeadcowboy25 it's alright.

Enough with the Gems on VHS comments. This song belongs on the album.

Agreed

The “gens on VHS” is way better! And the song was different too it was more upbeat, more beats per minute, and I loved watching her and that guy just playing guitar together. Oh well!

I agree.

I agree! Still a great song, but I would have loved the audio of the gems on VHS with this video even more!

Simply put 👌

Or, she can do what SHE wants? cool.

I love that there are two different versions. So much whining about this version it is ridiculous. I think she did an amazing job along with her producers and players.

Listen to the other version. I promise its so much better.

I just discovered this song and I also been playing on repeat

Love from israel

Just started reading The Silence of the Lambs for the first time. Didn’t realize it was based in West Virginia. They just pulled a floater out of Elk River. Great. Now every time I hear elk river blues…….

Oooh I second this question!!

I want snakes crawl at night

No Doubt! Please release that on Spotify

I just dont get all of the whining about this version. I love it and love that there are two wonderful versions to listen to.I wish there were 10 versions. The more the better.

@@jhrdrake7205 I dont know how much of it is actual whining. The live stuff versus her album are categorically two different genres, so its no big surprise that some people were a bit shocked by the album

I sadly have to agree with you on this. (I don't hate the producer, but he certainly isn't as informed on what classic true country music sounded like and did her and us a disservice due to that fact.) It would have been better and more true Sierra style to get old time country session players who played with or studied the recordings of the greats like Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings (and so many others) who would back her up and not overpower her w/ the over production. Her voice is perfect. Her guitar playing is perfect, her songwriting...it's all perfect and unique and any qualified producer would have done so little to that song - I think an older pedal steel player and simple drum/double bass accompaniment would have been ideal. (Like the trio she has w/ more recent live recordings she's done.) But yeah, I really feel the toe-tapping and sing along factor of the Gems version was just so classic and perfect, to hear this w/o a clear and consistent rhythm section and tempo was a bit jarring to hear. Among other aspects. I want Sierra to achieve all the success she deserves for sharing her gift with us - but I wish the producers would have let HER be the producer/band leader and call all the shots in this album. She is pure soul, pure artist, pure original - and knows what classic country music is. She's already a legend - but hopefully she'll record these songs again in the future with her calling all the shots. She's such a true artist that I can see this as just one of the many ways she can stylize this song and I could listen to this perfect song re-done ten different ways - it's that perfect and timeless. Yay to Sierra for being a treasure for all of us to behold and I support her by buying her music but do wish she would produce another version of this song w/ her at the helm. I'm overstating this because I really really love her and her music and she brings me and us all so much joy. (I'm seeing her live next week and can't wait and I will buy merch, like a t-shirt and bag or whatever she has, because that is the best way to support an artist when you see them live...buy their merch!) Love to Sierra!! I look forward to following her development as an artist for decades to come

I couldn’t agree more. I was devastated when I heard the released track. Nothing will beat the soul of the original.

Same song, electrified. Not worse, different.

Recording is difficult for artists and a lot of times you defer to the “experts” Wish they’d release the Gems version on a 7” or 45 . And maybe record with more of a stripped down feel. Either way wish her all the best and I’ll keep supporting her music best I can.

Or be the guy who looks at Sierra the way she looks at the camera.

@@rlin2648 or be yourself instead of some random D-bag haha

Found her, her name is Sierra

I know that feeling. It also makes me nostalgic for places I've never been. I feel it in my heart.

While I agree with your sentiment, I'll just say that perfect is the enemy of good. Experiencing her music live will always be something else!

I totally agree. I've been holding tickets since the first hour of the presale. Still a couple months to wait.

Don't you mean Flotation?

Love from Oklahoma

Is that you in it? You look so beautiful lady.

i am sure the lyrics are like this for the first three lines. I hope I'm in your dreams The way you are in all of mine You got a 'look' so fine (not Love - but it is difficult to hear the word exactly thought I am sure it says "LOOK" so fine) I wish that I could make you mine

Saw her in 2019; and will be again this tour. Can't wait!

There definitely is something about listening to country or other traditional styles of music while cruising around the backroads of New England that’s wicked fitting

@@mikeydubbs8565 I couldn't agree more! It's something that I do quite often. As a matter of fact, a short time after I made my initial comment, I ended up purchasing Sierra Farrell's whole new album on vinyl (to add to my country vinyl collection).

The studio versions are way over produced. Having listened to all of Sierras live recordings exclusively up until this point, the rawness and grit is what I fell in love with. Unless you’re working with Dan Auerbach, it’s hard to get someone to produce a really raw record these days. There’s just too many knobs and switches and producers can’t help but record the life out of most artists. I’m not saying this is lifeless, by any means. But the music industry certainly stole some of the charm. Let’s just hope she chooses to press a live recording, or better yet, does a really full national tour.

@@bl00df4rt She announced a national tour last week. All of the dates are listed on her website. As for the sound of the album, she worked really closely with the producer and engineer to bring her vision for these songs to life, so I hope you'll listen to the full album with that in mind.

@@bronx58 Hey! thanks for the heads up! Looks my wife and I will be seeing her in Salt Lake at the Urban Lounge in October. Stoked! As for the record sound, I hear what you’re saying, but judging from the first two studio tracks, it’s just not my thing sonically. The whole appeal of Sierra’s sound up until this point, was that it was something different, but familiar in terms of country music. When it’s just her and her guitar (and maybe one other musician), there’s a palpable authenticity that 99.99% of other musicians don’t have. At the risk of sounding overly romantic and melodramatic, it sounds like something that would have been playing out of my grandma’s AM radio in the kitchen and drawn me in. I’m sure this is largely a “me thing,” and I really hope she goes on to sell a shitload of records. As someone who is typically very punk-minded, I dabble into country when I hear something that catches me. But when they produced those little imperfections out of her voice, the immediacy, the heartbreak, the joy, and the soul went with them. My wife put it super simply, “it just sounds like Carrie Underwood now.” Sierra’s sound was the antithesis to that - she was showing that you didn’t need a visible chip on your shoulder to be a complete, “fuck you!,” to the current state of modern country music. I can’t wait until NPR invites her onto Tiny Desk and it’s just her and the guitar. That’s when she’s really going to blow up. And I hope she takes the hint and realizes that SHE is the talent and it doesn’t need to be anything more than her.

@@bl00df4rt Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed the Tiny Desk folks will have her! I've seen Sierra solo and in various band configurations, and I think it's safe to assume that she's never going to lose that edge. I can't wait for this tour!

@@bl00df4rt agreed

Safe travels. 💗
