Mandolin Orange on Audiotree Live (Full Session)

[@carlosm.devasconcelllos3939]

I'm 60 and in the winter arthritis kills me on cold nights. So in the morning I sit in the sun on the front porch, listening to this and other recordings by them, having a cup of coffee, or a very hot tea to help warm me up inside. Those mornings became unforgettable for me.

[@levent8208]

Nice ! and happy new year 2024 !

[@Rust-Trap-Ranch]

I get it. I'm 66 and after 35+ yrs in concrete and masonry this sound does help the days warm up easier. I agree w ya

[@Dan.Parker]

Eat some herbs for that arthritis. Particularly ginger and turmeric.

[@manaboutit1594]

One Fiddle. One Guitar. Two Voices. I needed this...

[@dougprofitt4616]

Maybe we all do...

[@SKYGUY1]

Their music just gives me the peace of a campfire, the joy of chocolate, the lingering delight of my first kiss and the insight of age all at once.

[@lflores0829]

You hit the nail on the head Terry.

[@boenrs]

Wow. Exactly

[@kcreming]

Word. 🙌🏻

[@TS-rb2zl]

Bore off.

[@talkativezebra]

I'm sorry this is a little dramatic.

[@tpmurphy5]

This duo just came on to my radar a few weeks ago… I’m mesmerized and enchanted by their music.. best new music to my ears in years.. great lyrics.. wonderful sound.. . Just fabulous .. in a music world of noise.. some music one can one can quietly let overtake you… it’s like a fine glass of Smokey scotch sipped on a late fall day..

[@erinthatcher8525]

Glad you enjoy them! They renamed/rebranded their duo to Watchhouse if you want to listen to their new stuff. I fell in love with them five years ago and still prefer their Mandolin Orange work.

[@carlosm.devasconcelllos3939]

So, you are kind of a decade late, and it's not bad. You wil be glad to listen a bunch of good music you never heard. Enjoy.

[@Jeroen12345]

@@tpmurphy5 same, i discovered them around 3 years ago and they have been my number 1 artists ever since. The replay-ability on their songs is huge

[@nathensurman3884]

I love how the dude's voice is powerful without effort

[@redechelon37]

put my thoughts into words

[@keepgoing1973]

Yeah. Agreed

[@KiwiandPixel]

I can't stop coming back to this video. The production is so good and the musical talent is bordering on magical. Seeing them live was every bit as special as I had hoped it would be... and then some. If they ever come to your town to play, don't hesitate a moment before buying tickets.

[@mmmk1616]

Audiotree is great for their sound, and they have good taste in music too :)

[@STE6168]

Wish Mandolin Orange would do another, longer, performance similar to this. Astounding!

[@scarroll413]

Couldn't agree more. The production is amazing.

[@SW-tech]

All round excellent. Thanks!

[@davidwright7771]

Just bought tickets to see them perform at the Blue Ridge Music Center alongside the Winston-Salem Orchestra. I'm stoked.

[@gertrudisd1333]

The Boots of Spanish Leather cover is probably one of my favorite songs. I adore Dylan but, man, this got me all in my feels. I miss my love.

[@gr1mrea9er82]

They both bring such heart and nerve to the songs individually, but the real magic happens in the plucking of the string and when they harmonize together.

[@NeversinkJimmy]

Emily is just pure gold.

[@busbystandup1337]

Her voice is like a warm blanket from your childhood...

[@danstanford3071]

...and his is like it is coming out of a firehose! That they can harmonize the way they do is testament to their skills

[@scottrauth8219]

Boots of Spanish Leather is easily the best cover of Dylan’s song I’ve ever heard. Listened to it 7x in a row when I first discovered it. Each time hearing nuances that I missed the previous time! Wonderful concert

[@iasonsp]

YES IT IS!!!

[@iasonsp]

yes yes yes!!

[@dckstrat90]

Give Craig Cardiff's version a listen!. Great as well

[@dianethornhill3651]

I agree! Their voices are ethereal

[@sunnysalmon5757]

There cover is the reason why I am a fan. I was looking specifically for Dylan covers and this was the one that popped up, just beautiful. Have been listening to them for years and even now, they've changed their name to Watchhouse, I will continue.

[@ivywreden6330]

Love Mandolin Orange, such talent, great musicians and voices are so sweet. Thanks for bringing them. Enjoy in them.

[@dbbraiding9797]

I discovered Mandolin Orange right here in Audio Tree LiVE. I love their music - much appreciation. Diana (from Australia 🇦🇺 )

[@williamwillis1506]

This duo is helping me through some hard times right now

[@carlosm.devasconcelllos3939]

They did it for me throghout that crazy lockdown where my arthritis got worse and the doctors were nowhere to be found. I sat under the sun in the cold mornings listening all these great music. And those moments got kept in my memory as very special moments.

[@Job.Well.Done_01]

Yep, their music did so much for me during the time when my mother was very sick and eventually lost her battle last summer.

[@williamwillis1506]

@warrior8057 I lost my grandmother back in late September and was the only one present when she had taken her final breath. She was 106 years young, she had traveled the world, seen everything from ww1 until then. She was literally a living history book and one of the best mentors I'd ever had my whole life! I miss her dearly and I wish she was here long enough to see me marry my wife in December and to meet her future grand children yet to come.

[@myrafromparis]

I have watched this countless times in the past few years, could never ever get tired of it. Mandolin Orange surely is one of the best bands out there.

[@songpoets-ramcey]

Gorgeous playing and singing. But I'm most impressed by the songs. Unusually great lyrics for such young artists. No silly love songs here! Ramcey in Nashville

[@richardholmwood1468]

I stumbled across this duo last week and can't stop listening, Cavalry by far my favourite, such talent, love their music. Richard Tunbridge Wells UK

[@nickvaldes9833]

They’re relationship and chemistry is so natural and smooth. On the same page, perfect harmony

[@r.osborne6706]

Best version of Spanish Boots I have ever heard and actually made the song make sense to me having male and female counter point. The heartbreak of a man who is madly in love but has to accept his object of adoration's choice to go and find her own way, you really feel that in this version. I wish there was a version of that in Apple Music.

[@245194LAC]

The moment they began to play I was enveloped in the wonderful sound of their music. No aggressive. Not overbearing. It just fills you up. Really beautiful music.

[@BoyNamedBanjo]

Been listening to these 2 for over 5 years. Never gets old

[@johnnyskitchen1669]

I recently discovered these guys and absolutely love them. They make the most beautiful music together! The fiddle on this video is perfect and flawless

[@wigglywill]

One of the best Dylan covers I've ever heard.

[@chrisgordon5719]

If you like that Dylan cover, listen to their cover of "Boots of Spanish Leather" here. One of the best around.

[@keykiyox]

Oh yes, Dylan should be very glad.

[@johngrunwell6101]

Wow. These two are spectacular...and you just know they've played thousands and thousands of hours.

[@joanl3669]

It's a long time since I was blown away by a new musical expedience! I have fallen in love with ":House of Stone", The voices are beautiful and the violin is like smooth chocolate and the guitar is staccato and it all works in deceptively simple harmony. You've made my evening!

[@amb13nt59]

Such incredibly beautiful music! Beautiful harmony, instrumentally and vocally!

[@djravery]

E.J. Hutton Violins, Bay City Michigan. As far as I can tell, they made them from around 1900 to the 1940s. Good old Michigan hardwoods :)

[@WarrenPostma]

Nice. And even a brand new violin or fiddle is typically antiqued (relicing is the guitar term) during finish stages. People expect it to look like it's old. These young artists are creating music and lyrics that feel centuries old, a beautiful feeling. Surely they have old souls, as they say.

[@chrisholland350]

Best Maple in the world

[@themiltonbrothers]

Man, I love finding great artist like this. Amazing music and musicianship from Mandolin Orange - Truly inspiring guys! And another great video and mixing production from Audiotree. Thanks.

[@brianreid5891]

I love how they look at each other with this big grin like holy shit this sounds great. EVERY DAMN TIME WE DO IT! Lol so good. Definitely one of my favorite bands.

A great little band. Saw them in Glasgow last year.

[@forbesrogers9203]

When too energies form to Collide create, a sound that not many can grasp, a band like this, is a direction of hope; hope that happiness still exists, and bring a wave of pause in time, where people can be at peace. And be as One together as one force, threw history and present. To use the heart and bring there minds threw there trials and tribulations. The mind sees many aruas with this band, because if you sat down and talk with these folks and grasped their experiences it is good for food for thought. Great guitarist. My hats go off too you.

[@rodneycaupp5962]

These two wonderful musicians don't just play notes, they play music and sing songs from down deep..., with such synchronicity .
