I’m seeing a lot of older comments on here. So if anyone is seeing this in 2020. I saw shakey twice. Once in 2016 after I discovered these videos. He brought the kick drum set out. Now he has a full band and experiments with his sound. Yet I saw him and Dr Dog last fall. And middle of his set. He brought the kick drum set out and played a few tracks. 7 YEARS after this video comes out. He still does this. Amazing. He was captivating the entire time on stage.

Saw him at the Hollywood Bowl opening for Lord Huron in 2019. What. A. Show. He started with just the kick drum, played a few classics, full band joined in after a few, THEN... the orchestra joined in. Fantastic memories of that show. Lord Huron was no joke live either.

I love his fusion of country, blue and rock... It's a modern up-to-date Southern American sensation, that chills your body out but warms your heart out. Shakey, you have earned a fan :)

I just found Shakey last week. Complete loss for words. Very eclectic taste in music, Shakey is sitting up high on the chart.

The guy is a pitcher pouring life out through him. The more I watch him I'm sure I'll see him before I die

My dad showed me this song. Still enjoy listening to it to this day. Quite the talent 1 man band. Legendary

If there's one phrase to describe this man's brilliant music, it's: "hauntingly beautiful"

This man puts his heart and soul into it's music and I can feel it. It's crazy that he can pull your attention with just his voice. It give some goosebumps to hear his voice, it's amazing...

His voice reminds me of the guy from Wild Beasts

This is some Grapes of Wrath level story telling here. You deserve everything you have, Shakey!

4:21. When he takes his hands off the guitar and his entire body is tense is my favorite part. I guess that is what it takes to channel that sound from a different dimension.

The passion that he has when he sings makes me feel like I am at a concert. You can really tell that he is really enjoying himself! He is AMAZING!

Greatest tune I've heard in years. Dripping with authenticity, morbidity, soul and resonance. Total mancrush.

Wow... I've listened to this song a hundred times and it just hit me. This song is about a guy on death row. "I've gotta date with that chair oh in late july" interesting, amazing tune!

This is talent, hardwork, and originality all rolled into one. This is a true musician. Crazy Many kudos Alejandro

dudes amazing. just found him yesterday and been stuck on his tracks. great music and emotion

This was published in July 2013, Im listening now. I feel like kicking myself for being ignorant.

Heard the drainpipe version first. Loved it.. Heard this one.. Truly YOUR song. Thank you.

i love shakey graves!!! i saw him two years ago at a folk festival and he was awesome! it was the first time i ever heard him and i've loved him ever since

if anyone wants recommendations on his songs i suggest coat of arms, wild card (stetson version), call it heaven (sun king version), pansy waltz, hard wired (stetson version), the perfect parts (riverview bungalow version), the waters (double j version), the many man, (airstream trailer version), tommorow (airstream trailer version, all the audiotree lives, dearly departed (sun king studio version), if not for you (on the boat), and family and genus. happy shakey listening

Gifts and talents are simply head starts, everyone can make it to the finish line. Doubt is the worst enemy to have on your side.

I think I finally found some music to play again.

whole song is unreal, but at 4:16 it gets me everytime!

I love sitting in my room at 2am screaming this song at nothing👍

i feel like i'm responsible for at least 10,000 of the 40,000+ views. SO GOOD.

Love love love it. This live version is so great. So real. So authentic. So humane. The way I love this blues/folk/rock/songwriter stuff…I pray that this comment gets to you as a listener. Jesus loves you. Your family loves you. The (your) Christian family loves you. Father.Son.Holy_Spirit.!!!! PS: shakes graves needs to come back to whatever studio he recorded this at. This take is fire 🔥🔥

It's so good...that it brings a tear of joy to my eye. This is good, soul music!

Every song ive heard by him is amazing. Awesome stuff

Shakey - your music speaks volumes sir. You are amazing.

I'm so happy I found this, just listened to these songs today, and everyone of them put the biggest smile on my face!

Megan, you may want to check out this bunch... Tallest Man On Earth (you HAVE to check him out if you haven't already), Johnny Flynn, Bobby Long, Shovels and Rope, Avett Bros, Ben Howard... Okay, they are all different but of a kind of similar-ish musical hue.

I love youtube for throwing up little gems like this. Audiotreetv. Love it.

Man, this is just fuckin cool! I’ve had the song on my Spotify for months, this is the first time seeing the video!

“Snake lady took my savings, acted like she was having my babies”. “Not a day with that chair on an angel eye”. Genius!

Sweet mother of God.

Had the pleasure of seeing Alejandro live in Lawrence, KS a few months ago. Amazing. Keep it up, dude.

LEGEND...MAN GOT SERIOUS SKILLZ

Oh, man! What a great video of such a great song. New favorite as of now. I first heard it on Spotify. Trying to pick up on his guitar style.

To say today is a new beginning, it just began.

It doesn't get much better than this!

4:25 he realizes how good it is sounding right here and can't help but let out a big smile.

Jesus i have a crush ha! Beautifully done

I could listen to it style all day

FIrst time ive listened to you. Great MUSIC.
