'Higher Lonesome' Willi Carlisle

[@treywilson9901]

I mean...fucking shit. This song is one of the greatest pieces of songwriting I've ever heard. And this live performance blew me away.

[@graytheidiot7620]

Somehow this still feels like an understatement

[@DJ_LvL]

This is legitimately one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard. Absolutely incredible.

[@jon_z3538]

Jodorowsky on a tiny sceen...

[@JaredHope]

This is my second comment on this video, but I've been watching it nonstop lately. The lyrics are about desperation and isolation and it just blows me away how the performance communicates that. Willi isn't just singing words about someone strung our watching snow fall, he's channeling that sort of almost unhinged energy in his performance. Just an incredible song and performance by an incredible artist.

[@a.p.rodgers]

A true master at his craft. A one of a kind wordsmith.Your music is a blessing to us all Willi.

[@killermiker1232]

love your channel! i learned your version of trouble by kilby snow

[@jTheHorn0]

I absolutely cannot wait to see this live. If you’ve never seen Willi live, GO! I’ll see him every time he’s within a 4 hour drive.

[@tfs94gt]

This dude is absolutely, positively unequivocally, one of a kind. Pure unadulterated passionate art. Undiluted, potent and raw.

[@bad77dragtruck]

Sweet lord. If you don't watch to the end you're missing out.

[@andrewtaylor7484]

Please pay attention to this world-class artist! Thank you.

[@LukeLehmanMusic-hk9br]

This is pure art. Well done my friend

[@NotAnOrk]

Willi is one of the best people i had the fortune of acting alongside back in college. Love listening to his music

[@erincarmichael6570]

I made the mistake of being pretty hammered when I fist heard this and cried like a baby. 10/10 no notes

[@francoruiz_]

Hermosa canción, estaba buscando canciones country y encontre esta joya. Saludos desde Argentina

[@TremendousSax]

This is a masterpiece of a song. The lyrics, the pace, the guitar fills, the harmonica, the beautiful sadness. Every puzzle piece is in a perfect place.

[@CyberCowboy7777]

I have to imagine Bob Zimmerman would appreciate this.

[@CyberCowboy7777]

Bob Dylan my brothers and sisters. Amen and Hallelujah!

[@skyyoung592]

As snoop Dogg said that MF don't miss, the mad lad did it again, he's just so good

[@TouchDirt]

Holy shit don't need to be crying while driving. I can only hope ya make it to Florida this year.

[@davemartellino3734]

[@Mrpsblobsoflowendmung]

Just wow again Willi! Such powerful and heart wrenching imagery ! You write a song like Ernest Hemingway would describe the great nation you both hail from ! Truly special!

[@ScottCooksongs]

"Paid the price in foolishness it takes to get you free." Keep singin' em true, Willi.

[@link-jb8yy]

I'm gonna double the views on this gem.

[@rustyshackleford9829]

As many amazing artists there are these days, I seriously don't know anyone who dumps their heart into it like Willi does.

[@yotoeben]

Willi, I am so freakin excited for this album! Your words, your energy, it tightens the unravelling bandages around my soul. You gotta keep going man, this is your super power!

[@JaredHope]

The emotion in Willi's live performances is off the charts.

[@ryanroark2818]

You snuck up on me with Critterland. You and Darrell kicked major butt on Critterland. Thanks. Hope to see you soon.

[@linzyquerner9131]

Been saving your songs on this album like sweet treats. Till we meet again in Portland Oregon💕💕💕

[@armadillotales5296]

Came for the music, stayed to read the titles on the bookshelf.

[@joshuapaulcollins1]

Holy actual shit Willi. By the end of the song I was gripping the steering wheel way too hard. It’s easy to get swept up by that kinda desperate energy.

[@johnstiles7707]

Hope your well in Arkansas this morning willi

[@rreaditonreddit5365]

Everything he releases is incredibly special. This might just be my favorite song of Willi's, so far.

[@xavierhenry397]

[@scrapeteel920]

[@averynewtown2782]

As soon as it started playing it made me smile like an idiot. Started saying out loud it's so good. Wish somebody was around here to say it to.
