Jason Dea West, " Twelve Mile Road," by Dave Stamey // GemsOnVHS™
Музыка
It has been a hot minute since we caught up with Jason Dea West. Our last outing saw us hopping freight trains east of the Mississippi with everyone's favorite tramp, Benjamin Tod. We were reliving glory days, tracing back the past. On this go around, our feet are firmly planted in the present, catching Jason on a long tour across the country where he plays his newest material for all of you. When one tours as hard and long as Jason does, you get a little tired of playing your own songs, and you get to pickin a few covers by folks you like.
That's what happened here, with Jason playing a little tune by the old cowboy picker Dave Stamey at a little truck stop diner combo in Lebanon, Tennessee. We'd stopped at this greasy spot to catch Jason on his interstate criss-crossing journey. This little hole in the wall, called Pete's, home to the largest collection of coffee mugs in the world. The owner, a Vietnam vet named Pete, decided to sit in and listen to our little song, even going so far as to mute the TV. Him and the rest of the dodgey old patrons loved it, so that's nice. Real music for the real folks out here.

I dont understand how this doesn't have more view. JDW, and gems are some of my favorite combinations of all time, better than chocolate peas and vanilla carrots.
I wish I could've been right there in that diner for this entire thing. Fantastic.

this is the next best thing. you are practically there with us cus i recorded it!! ty ty
Dave stamey is great, you do him justice here. Cheers ol boy.
The way he keeps looking that old man in the eye. It adds weight to this song that leaves a lump in my throat. That look is exactly what this song is about.
The crossover i didn't know I needed. Dave Stamey is from my area, and I love Jason. Glad he knows about Dave, both are seriously under appreciated artists.

That's very true, glad Jason did Dave!
This is why I come here. This is music, pure soul. Thank you Jason DeaWest, your song is Fucking beautiful!
Who said the old Bob Dylan was dead? Jason shows us how music can be simple with G, C, D and Em and tell a wonderful story. Kudos to GemsOnVHS!
He is nothing short of amazing
Never fails to amaze. Saw him with Lost Dog in Detroit. Small venue (The Majestic), packed to the gills. Best show I've ever seen. Keep it up Jason we love you and thank you

@@andyhinners4402 From what I've seen of it, there's not a lot to miss but you can still see the grandeur that once was. Hope you can get back to visit someday, safely.
This is great. His playing is so genuine, always a pleasure to listen to. Excited for his upcoming album! Chords and lyrics below and on Ultimate Guitar as always folks! Standard tuning, Capo on 5 The C is normally played like a C/G (332010), I noted a simple C for reasons of clarity Intro G C G x2 Verse 1,3,4 G C / G D / G G/F# Em / C G / G C / G D / G G/F# Em / C D G Verse 2 G C / G D / G G/F# Em / C D / G C / G D / G G/F# Em / C D G Chorus 1 D G / D Em / C G Em / G D G C G Chorus 2 & 3 D G / D Em / C G Em / C D G Interlude G C D G Outro C D G [Intro] [Verse 1] There’s an old gravel road It's following the section line Out where dreams are held together With sweat and baling twine Where you rattle your bones on a tractor Over thirty years old And there’s a mortgage and kids to be fed Out on Twelve Mile Road [Verse 2] Well, it's just a stretch of country The wind comes blowing through The Homesteaders starved out and blew away Ain't nobody out here but you And you know someday it’s gonna turn around But Lord, it turns so slow But it ain’t rained since April Out on Twelve Mile Road [Chorus] Out on Twelve Mile Road Lord it turns so slow Hanging on to a ragged dream Out on Twelve Mile Road [Verse 3] Now you raised some hay and a few head of cows You swing a hammer in town You do anything you can goddamn do To keep your feet on the ground Cause if a man works hard enough He can turn that straw into gold Or ain’t that the way it’s supposed to be Out on Twelve Mile Road? [Chorus] Out on Twelve Mile Road Lord it turns so slow Hanging on to a ragged dream Out on Twelve Mile Road [Interlude] [Verse 4] Now you dream of the day when the air is clean The fences all run true All of your worries just vanished like smoke And all the hard times are through You’ll look down from the top of the hill Your dreams are there to hold Or ain’t that the way that it’s supposed to be Out on Twelve Mile Road? [Chorus] Out on Twelve Mile Road Lord it turns so slow I've been hanging on to a ragged dream Out on Twelve Mile Road Out on Twelve Mile Road Lord it turns so slow Hanging on to a ragged dream Out on Twelve Mile Road [Outro]

Hard to believe just 4 miles from 12 mile road is a man with 1 shot, 1 opportunity, would he capture? Or just mom's spaghetti?

This man already has the characteristics of a grey old man playing on the porch of a family ranch, quieting down his children and grandchildren to listen to them chords and stories
I need that hat he is wearing!!!
This guy gets it.
Anyone know what resonator that is he's playing? Great sound and love the slotted headstock.
Now let's get him to the Wig Wam Tavern !
Hot damn
