Much love and respect from Russia 🤝

[@johnreed2242]

Pure genius. This song could be and even might be over 100 years old. Can not possibly ask for more this thing I have done.

[@cosmojonesmusic]

Music doesn't get more perfectly raw than this. I bow to them.

[@Alabastrova]

What an absolute golden piece of songwriting. Hits you like a suckerpunch in a bar fight. Love it.

[@nymcooke]

Totally!

[@karlstrand2005]

It ain't no small thang to have Yoko Ono blowing da sax for ya.

[@jacksonvega7751]

This is such a great song, perfectly performed, ol CW is one of those idiosyncratic musical auteurs that show up each decade, we only get a handful a decade, CW is one of em, one of those musicians who’s sounds is instantly recognisable, a true character guitarist, one of those rare beasts that seems to effortlessly carve out their very own tone n style of play. It’s what every musician should be aiming for, too many musicians get stuck on technique above all else which too easily extinguishes any kindve of possible originality n idiosyncrasy. Your never gonna become a great guitarist with a recognisable sound that way, musical idiosyncrasies are as much a result of a musicians weaknesses as they are their strengths

[@SpaceEmos]

Wow I don't watch many live performances of his but DAMN he's a phenomenal singer

[@frankie28web]

Too good to be true...

[@radiofriendly]

Ha ha ha, exactly!

[@rossbratlee6541]

Saw him live. Just him. A charming individual I had the pleasure to meet. Go see him.

[@nymcooke]

THE THING I DONE I roll like thunder Go like dynamite All flesh and bone I come Old death 'long by my side In from the storm, This scornful breath about my tongue Oh the thing I done I took my chances Took what chance I got Lord knows my hands is tied This all-bindin' ancient blood There flood my mind images Blindin' as the sun Oh the thing I done Can't tell my future I can't tell my past It's only eludin' fate That make my journey's task That weigh down upon me Out on the run Oh the thing I done The band are playin' Bathed in electrical light But I'm all at sea away Under the shade o' that dark fright No an' I never had a chance, I come Bound to all I done You hear me singin' No my time ain't long Desirous this song I bring On these un-restin' bones Long ways from home I stumbled Long since time begun Oh the thing I done Oh the thing I done Oh the thing I done

[@jimmyj2563]

[@leftyfusion88]

This guy's music makes me want to do angel dust with a witch doctor in a New Orleans brothel. Americana weirdness at it's finest.

[@ManiacBarber666]

[@nymcooke]

Australian, American, Caribbean--it's universal, it's timeless.

😂😂😂

[@40daydreamer77]

IDK what thing he done...BUT, I sincerely think it was...no fucking joke.

[@dbjerrolds]

So, if you built a human who’s 50% Australian 50% East Tenneessean, from the Appalachians, turned him into an old school ragtime blues musician then drug him down Bourbon Street for a little flavor, I’m pretty sure this is what you’d get.

[@evwvr]

how to stop listening

[@jeanmarcseguin]

We did our "quarantined" cover of this tune: kzbin.info/www/bejne/on6bpnWEgdKDiMk Thanks for the inspiration!

[@GeorgeBenedict]

What'd he do?

[@elwray3506]

The THING, man.

[@RaulDuke703692Me204]

Frissons...

[@jordanwilson706]

What the actual shit! This guy's white???????

[@ianwarner-oconnor8869]

Every commenter here loves him, but let's not ignore that this is a stilted take and there's no ignoring a lack of cohesion
