My friend used to get drunk grab a guitar and play their music. A year ago today he didn’t see no way but out and took his life. I wish he realized he was the luckiest man in so many ways. Love you Kenny. I hope you found the peace you were looking for.

Sorry brother

This song honestly helped me out of a dark place recently. I won’t go into the details, but I felt like giving up was the only thing I had strength left to do. Listening to this song, encouraged me to think of the problems in my life other people might even say I was “lucky” to have.

Just saw the Wood Brothers on the beach of the Jersey shore under the full moon. Best concert ever.

This is my favorite song. Not my favorite Wood Brothers song, not my favorite folk song. My favorite song. Period.

I just lost my 3rd brother, now it is just me, this song says it all, I was the "Luckiest Man" to be raised with such fine brothers, such is the tale of the tape for Vietnam, we all participated, and the price must be paid, GOD BLESS MY BROTHERS, WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN ! Thank YOU Wood Brothers for this song, it warms my heart !

I think your brothers are okay. I was listening to this and I decided to scroll through the comments while also looking at the change from my pocket(something I don't do) I read your comment and was immediately emotional and looked down at the coin in my hand. misprint two eagles. no shit I'm serious. I debated telling you because it was so friggin weird. I'm sorry if it was offensive or too evocative. thank you and your brothers for your sacrifices. were gonna be okay.

We walk the path destined for our feet to trod. I too have question why I am spared from the trauma taking my life. I was never a soldier in combat, but have suffered trauma and survived. I know survivor’s guilt can weigh a spirit down. However, never lose sight of your gratitude and faithfulness. Blessed be brother. Your brothers’ spirits soar and are immortal 🌍🌬🌊🔥

I hope you're ok. I saw this and was sad. I can see how sad this is, and this touched me a lot thinking how alone you feel. I came through isolation, so this struck me as i look through sites alone too. God bless your precious heart. I'm soooo sorry. Very sad, to hear of your wonderful amazimg brothers, as we get older out here. God sees more than we know, i feel. Hope we all get through in love as it should be and figure this year out together...Many are finishing up for our end of age. I feel all of us are putting large weights off our shoulders, and it's been quite a life to get light shinning at this finish, we've lost ssh o many to have and keep our rights. We will make them glad we are not giving our rights they kept, for us, up..... ❤ This is seemingly getting tougher but we will stand for the rights all came here to have. Much peace to you and them for making us free, and we are going to be keeping our freedom, here. It's a tougher road for us left to finish up. It's all coming to a head out here soon. Much love sent to you all, for soooooo much strength to us, to keep going for our rights....❤❤ ❤

My Aunt played this song at her sons funnel. The bottom of his grave says luckiest man. Every time I hear this song I cry like a baby.

I'm starting to believe that if a band's title has "Brothers" in it and is under the folk genre, they are probably really good.

Man those bass solo's get me every time.

I onced rented an apartment from a man by the name of Wood. He and his brother used to get into fights and sing at one another to settle their disputes. Although i no longer live in his apartment, the memory of those times lives on in my mind, i can remember their songs. As a child, i couldnt imagine this would one day be the csse. Also, this is a really good song.

I saw the wood brothers live like 2 years ago in Minneapolis opening for G. Love. Best opening act I've ever seen. Can't go wrong with that upright bass.

Love it that these guys did it in a stairwell and used those acoustics for this recording. It's hard to express how much I like this song.

I love this song 💗🍀 I have listened to this song multiple times, and I think this song speaks to gratitude and contentment.

This song touches my soul

Such a beautiful song. Brings me back to the simpler days. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

hearing a bit of Van Morrison in this!

"Try to keep my faith and keep my mind Hate to lose either one when the whip cracks behind" Thats one of my favorite best lyrics. So good

Too many horses and mysterious forces, that sh!t hit me hard

I love this song!!! so much

Oh my lord love these guys so awesome chills for sure

beautiful.

What a great tune!

Makes my soul happy

Beautiful.

Simply brilliant...the playing, the feeling, the song. Spectacular.

You guys are awesome ❤

Running is useless Fighting is foolish

Love the wood brothers

song makes my soul tingle!

Great song...thank you!

So good... This one hits hard.

I can't stop singing and playing this song. A really good one!

I love this song so much

I heard you, for the first time, singing this recently at the Philadelphia Folk Festival ... I stood mesmerized by the truth of this poignant, simple message coming up the hill to me in the darkness ... so true to life's epic quest for joy. Thank you for it, and for delivering it so well. For I am indeed one of those luckiest men, and it was nice to hear that sung!

This will play at my wedding 😬🙏

Love this song those Chords get me .. the echo and acoustics of the hallway .. awesome thanks wood bros.

WOW! I mean WOW! I know what I am listening to for the next forever.

These guys are fantastic; love every album! Awesome musicianship, great lyrics, spot-on arrangements.... One of the bands I keep coming back to, whatever my mood; they have a song or ten to fit!

I just played along with my banjo! love this song!

gave me chills..if it gives me chills, it's a good tune

I like this rendition. Simple and soulful

Beautiful. As are all the productions of Mason Jar. Keep up the good work! Love what you guys do.

I Love this tune

my favorite Wood Bro's song. I have saw them in concert once they put on a phenomenal show.

The Stand up bass is insane good. This version of the song it is 'mic'd up loud. You can hardly hear it on most of their songs. PLEASE pump the bass

Possibly the best song ever! My young son loves this song, He connected to it... This is what it's all about... connecting to the ordinary people... you have touched our lives with this amazing song... thank you

Axs TV were I found woods brother. On TV been listen to them every. Since 2012

Still just as good as ever! Almost 2020 lets go!!!!

Now this is music...

So talented!!

Makes me miss my friend an awful lot when I hear this song. It's beautiful

Amazing song. Great video production. Perfect setting!

Saw them live last night what a great show

such an amazing song :)

Love this song 👍🏻. Acoustic version is the best I've heard.

Music or being great in general does not have anything to do with coming in first, let's face it; that is just impossible in music :) I'm sure we are all proud for knowing progressions and lyrics to favorite songs, but these gentlemen are true artists with real passion. Thank you Wood Brothers, you inspire me to pick up my old Yamaha and sing from my belly!

Oh man!!!! Was für ein wunderschönes Stück!!!!

These guys are amazing live! Do yourself a favor and see them if they come to town.

I ran across these guys doing a free performance in Mad Square in NY on a very hot August afternoon. Sat through the whole thing despite the heat and a nice cool hotel room waiting a couple of block away. Been a fan ever since. They just keep getting better.

That bass playing.....goot lawd! Not to mention, this is one of the most soulful songs around!

awesome!!

I listen to this song several times a week. I believe you. Can't say that about allot of people anymore.

For a long time I loved mmw and saw them a bunch of times who knew Chris had a brother that was equally talented this band is a true testament that good roots music will always shine above

So damn good.

Oh my god why is this song so damn good!

Very Cool!!

I found this song on pandora.. and ive come to believe its my favorite song ever... im going to purchase it right now

See this band live. You will utter the term, "flawless" or "musical perfection" repeatedly.

perfect

I just can't say how much these gentleman amaze me. I can only hope to write songs like this. Still I try.

A GREAT friend just sent me this & WOW!!! That is so awesome that I was rocketed back to my first listen to James Taylor's album Mud Slide Slim & The Blue Horizon Band . . . (in other words) WWWWOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! EXCELLENT!

chris is such a badass. those solos and harmonies are heavenly. and of course oliver is the man.

Thank you. I'm now a fan.
