Nick Shoulders & the Okay Crawdad - Rather Low *Official Video*
Музыка
In winter of 2020, I planned on taking a cellphone on tour and making a music video out of our new song, Rather Low, which had just been self released from my bedroom in New Orleans. I obviously never played those tours, nor the tours after them, but from the folks willing to put the 'punk' in Podunk, we bring you evidence that the open road can be rewarding and wonderful (despite the song being about the exact opposite). Featuring a rotating cast of Crawdads, this was shot during our southeast tour in December 2021 and represents how our shows and tours have felt entering live music anew (after such a profound hiccup in our roadbound careers). Thanks a billion to Wyatt for selling merch and driving, Grant for playing the hell out of the bass and singing better than me, Cheech for being my favorite drummer on earth and our guardian, Jack for bringing true chaos forth unto us, Sasha for bringing fiddle to the crawdad arena so hard, Nikolai for positively raging on steel, Kurt and Gar Hole for keeping us afloat, Chooch for still making noises with me after a decade of trouble, Jesse for booking the damn shows and big shout out to Caspian (of Scissorbills, Chardonnay, Black Bird Raum) who plays guitar on the original recording, listen to his tunes. Riley Downing and Todd Day Wait make appearances and are worth listening to also! Plus Jack Studer is our guitar lord and a killer songwriter who has a new album out. Miss you Chris!!

I had the absolute pleasure of seeing this man perform in Austin a few weekends ago and let me tell you, it was unlike anything I've ever been to in my life. His voice doesn't change from video to in-person, it's still the same yodeling young heartthrob that can sing to the moon. If you ever get the chance to see him, TAKE IT AND GO. You'll thank me later

I got caught driving in a thunderstorm outside Columbus to this album on the middle leg of a Houston to Boston trip. The rain lasted about as long as this album played twice, and these songs helped me stay calm through an hour and change of no visibility white-knuckle sleep deprived hard time driving. Good stuff.
looks like yall have fun on tour
It's always a good day when Nick Shoulders uploads something.

Right? I wasn't expecting this and was just assuming I'd turn on my computer to another day of bad news. Surprise happy twist to my morning!
Perpetually making my wife and kid smile by singing this at the top of my lungs while I’m working from home
I saw him last night in Phoenix. I’ve seen hundreds of concerts in my life. This was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Like a cross between a circus and a Pentecostal tent revival, front by an absolutely amazing voice, and backed up by a super tight, kickass band. Do yourself a favor and see this guy live.
I wish I could like this twice
I love Nick and the Old Crawdads. Pure America... That's what its all about.
Epic. We need to bottle up your good vibes and pollute the world with them.
That’s one classy Arkansan, ole son! 10/10
Nick is a hidden gem. Wish he got the recognition he deserves.
Newcastle in November really looking forward to it..
I rarely if ever comment on anything on KZread, but I often hear that its good for the algorithm. So if that hasn't changed by now, I have got to say that even after 2+ years since I first discovered Nick's music, it still excites me whenever he and the people around him put out anything new.

Hey Nick! I just missed you when you came to GA. Please come back to atlanta soon! The spotify algorithm introduced me to your song Snakes and Waterfalls and ive been hooked on all your stuff since. Turn on the Dark is such a cool jaunty tune! If you decide to do another cover here soon you should think about Twenty Flight Rock by Eddie Cochran, id love to hear your take on it.
just saw these guys Saturday at the outland in Springfield it was VERY good
"lemme hit that Nic Shoulders" 😤💨
Yes finally!
Nice man I dig it
HELL YEAH!
Just got my tickets for Nashville. Can’t wait!! 😁
Y'all look like a hell of a good time! Come on up to Maryland sometime!
Watching Cool Hand Luke and wanted to make a humble suggestion of a cover of "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" love your voice
The greatest.
Well, my eyes adjust My joints are rusty Sheets are awful cold and dusty Roll over folks it must have been another night on the bend Kick rocks Slept in socks BooLahLah and levee walks This couch is my kingdom and I swear there's bugs in my head Sick sad and sentient A penny saved a penny spent Asleep at the wheel sure beats being awake in my bed Last call to feel small I dread the sight of alcohol I don't know where this train stops but I want off Been rather low Out here together Reckon that we'll keep trying if rock bottom it never shows You're not alone, if there's a storm to weather I ain't welcome at home, I don't know about you Double takes and double stops I double dare ya call the cops I'll die where I stand if I hear wagon wheel again 40 days of foggy nights, withered by the city lights I don't remember existential crisis being part of the deal I told you once I told you twice I'm steeped in verse and cursed in vice I traded my 40 acres for a mountain of pain Hotdamn Hamm's can Blinded in the promised land I don't mind if I do declare: we're as good as dead Been rather low, out here together Reckon that we'll keep trying if rock bottom it never shows You're not alone, if there's a storm to weather I ain't welcome at home, I don't know about you You're not alone, if there's a storm to weather I ain't welcome at home, I don't know about you I ain't welcome at home, I don't know about you
Hell Yeah 🍻🤘
Can't wait till I have the opportunity to see neck live🤙
The number of animals in this video was simultaneously fantastic and not enough. How?
