California Cottonfields - The Petersens (LIVE) on Branson Country USA

[@Liz.Newton]

*0:49** LYRICS - California Cottonfields* ------------ My driftin' mem'ry goes back to the spring of '43 When I was just a child in mama's arms My daddy plowed the field and prayed someday that we could leave This run-down mortgaged Oklahoma farm Then one night I heard my daddy sayin' to my mama That he had finally saved enough to go California was his dream, a paradise, for we have seen Pictures in magazines that told him so California cottonfields Where labor camps were filled with weary men with broken dreams California cottonfields As close to wealth as daddy had ever came Almost everything we had was sold or left behind From my daddy's plow to the food that mama canned Some folks came to say farewell or see what all we had to sell Some just came to shake my daddy's hand Model A was loaded down and California bound A change of luck was just four days away But the only change that I remember seeing in my daddy Was when his dark hair turned to silver gray California cottonfields Where labor camps were filled with weary men with broken dreams California cottonfields As close to wealth as daddy had ever came California cottonfields Where labor camps were filled with weary men with broken dreams California cottonfields As close to wealth as daddy had ever came Album: Shenandoah

Thanks, Liz!

I haven't seen that much fabric and talent in one place in a long time. Awesome!

[@DONNIEWATKINS]

Me Neither !~!~!~ Love This Family !~!~ Refreshing !~!~ Creating A Playlist !~!~

[@Last_one_before_I_go]

That cute lady on the fiddle has stolen my heart. She seems so happy to be out there making great music.

[@drftsnvk]

The prettiest girl I know!

[@armstronglance]

You got that right! Wholesome lady too!

[@michaelmerck7576]

That's Katy and she is everyone's sweetheart

[@tonyhemingway7980]

It's good to hear Matt doing the lead vocal, for a change.

[@Quarton]

I love Matt's sense of humor! Growing up with 4 sisters, I can relate (I always said I had one sister for each arm and leg, so I never had a chance! Besides, they could talk twice as fast I could . . . !) Great music, and each one of you has a great voice - bringing something "great" into the mix. I really enjoy Emmett Franz, both his musical talents and his great voice. Keep up the great work!!

[@RufusSka99s]

Wow, what a voice Matt. Love Merle and especially when the song is covered with such a great bluegrass sound. That bass player is so smooth and the harmonies give me such a thrill. Love the Petersen Family Band!

[@johnmanser2331]

How have I only just found this band. They're brilliant. Glad I have. How about a tour to the UK!

[@glennericksenmusic]

They are on tour in Ireland next week! August 21-26th, 2019! You can see their concert schedule on their website! I hope you can go see them! www.petersenband.com/

[@glennericksenmusic]

@@daveallen63 I agree! They met a very talented Irish musician. You can see what happened next here.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5TZeo1plsyWgrM

[@wesleyreaves3136]

I've been pickin and followin bluegrass bands since "71" and I think this band will be much better known as they mature along their musical journey. Like the old timers use to say, get the vocals down, and the instrumentals will follow suit. Well done, wish y'all the best.

[@armstronglance]

Wesley Reaves I think I know what you’re saying. However, the fiddle & banjo lady Peterson’s have already shown they can play with the best. Mom plays many instruments too! She mastered on trumpet! Dad plays too! (God bless my fellow BRAT’s - that’s short for military dependents, case U didn’t know)

[@bjrnmgranvang1107]

"Followed his dream and failed". LOL Talent and a sense of humour, great combination.

[@ronnieross711]

Ah those harmonies! You guys are so great! Come to Nashville TN!

[@andymoss3132]

Great job matt.

[@rontimms8980]

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for these videos of beautiful music.

[@shawngreene3524]

He can sing too !

[@robertewalt7789]

Let’s hope he gets more lead parts. All of them can sing lead. Mom, too?

[@glennericksenmusic]

Great job! Sounds awesome! Matt has such a great voice too!

[@PoliticalTalkAbout]

God Bless The Petersens.

[@josdenis3684]

They all stole my heart!

[@armstronglance]

Love this family!!! God bless the Petersons!

[@mrtubeyou77]

He needs to sing more!

[@charlesrandolph4970]

Sounds like my dad's family they left Oklahoma in 1938 and moved to California and my dad did pick Cotton

[@diegovargassalazar7668]

Me lamento, no haber sido seguidor mucho antes. Hubiere disfrutado mucho. Pero, ahora soy fan, de y estoy muy contento. Gracias petersen.

[@frankderudder7290]

Just a great talented family!! And also a very beautiful family EVERYONE!!! The girls can all sing play INSTRUMENTS no gimics no gadgets no technology just STRAIGHT music from the heart AND also the girls all dress concervitive which is nice 2 c unlike some of the young female performers out there today!!! Hope 2 c more songs guys and girls!!!

[@josephdockemeyer4807]

I feel.the same as you. This is so refreshing and clean.

[@michaelthompson3679]

Happy Easter that was beautiful !

[@joseluisdeoliveirasantos9131]

Hey! Again, I must say, all the members of this family are really pure music! And he have a very nice voice too! Who would guess that?

[@lukasschimpel9655]

Singing somehow reninds me so much of Jethro Tull. Great Voice 😍

[@alexandersheiko7986]

Whoever starts a JT tribute band should consider asking Matt to become vocalist. I just imagine him singing "Thick as a Brick"...

[@jonstefanik9400]

Guess Emmitt hadn't been told, "Yes, you can be a Petersen" yet.

[@trrrewr]

Only two sibliings here but I was the young bro with an older sis.. best of luck to ya! ;)

[@costa328]

Matt has that young Ricky Nelson look.

[@sc1212able]

Never heard Matt on lead vocals, that was really good, but can we have Ellen back, the talent this family showcases is so entertaining. Would love to hear them perform OCEANS by Hillsong United.

[@woodstoney]

Nicely done!!

[@357ak47]

Eu adoro essa cultura caipira americana .

[@zeekman7223]

Smooth!!!

[@wylin424]

Meral Haggard has never failed

[@solofox6925]

You guy and girls are impressive. Good job

[@giancarlozarlengo1096]

Where's the dobro guy ... really like his sound!

[@Liz.Newton]

Think it was sometime in 2018 that he became full time with them

[@herydiandwiharto467]

Nice Performance..

[@diegovargassalazar7668]

Genial, chicos.

[@larryschmid3834]

Just found them also. Families also get a sound most others, though good also, don't seem to have. Like the taste of a regular coke and a cherry coke. They simply killed Jolene. Never heard nothing more tight than the Pertesons on Jolene. Very enjoyable listening to them having a good time on stage.

[@dbszepesi]

Great version! I love this song from hearing the Seldom Scene's version of it!

[@Allan-mf1he]

Bravo

[@archiewilliams6140]

can't get this to play

Hi Liz, a present also for Matt.... Bye Fausto LYRICS - I CAMPI DI COTONE DELLA CALIFORNIA [Jim Dandy] Benvenuti nella Contea di Branson USA Noi siamo sempre entusiasti di avere questa famiglia qui con noi. Li conosciamo ormai da molti anni e sono vicini e cari ai nostri cuori. E sono sicuro che lo saranno anche ai vostri. Accogliamo con un applauso di benvenuto, la famiglia Petersens. [Matt] Bene, grazie ragazzi, noi siamo i Petersens. E io sono l’unico ragazzo, così possiamo rendere le cose più semplici se vi sentite in colpa per me fin dall'inizio Comunque stavo per dire che stiamo per cantare una canzone di Merle Haggard Abbiamo tra noi qualche fan di Merle Haggard? Bene, Jamie Haage ha detto di essere un grande fan di Merle Haggard Quindi la dedichiamo a lui, perché me lo ha fatto venire in mente Parla di un uomo che ha seguito veramente i suoi sogni….e non vi è riuscito Questa è una delle mie favorite dal titolo “Campi di cotone della California” La mia memoria fluttuante ritorna alla primavera del '43 quando ero solo un bambino tra le braccia della mamma Mio padre arava i campi e pregava che un giorno potessimo lasciare questa fattoria dell'Oklahoma, ipotecata e in rovina Poi una notte ho sentito mio padre dire a mia mamma che aveva finalmente risparmiato abbastanza per partire La California era il suo sogno, un paradiso, perché avevamo visto delle immagini sulle riviste, che gli dicevano proprio così Campi di cotone della California, dove i campi di lavoro erano pieni di uomini stanchi con sogni infranti Campi di cotone della California, Così vicino alla ricchezza, dove papà non era mai arrivato Quasi tutto quello che avevamo è stato venduto o lasciato indietro Dall'aratro di mio padre al cibo che la mamma aveva messo a conserva Alcune persone sono venute per dirci addio o per vedere tutto ciò che avevamo da vendere Alcuni sono venuti solo per stringere la mano a mio padre La (Ford) Model A era carica e diretta in California Il cambio di vita era a soli quattro giorni di distanza Ma l'unico cambiamento che ricordo di aver visto in mio padre è stato quando i suoi capelli scuri si sono tinti di grigio argento Campi di cotone della California, dove i campi di lavoro erano pieni di uomini stanchi con sogni infranti Campi di cotone della California, Così vicino alla ricchezza, dove papà non era mai arrivato Campi di cotone della California, dove i campi di lavoro erano pieni di uomini stanchi con sogni infranti Campi di cotone della California, Così vicino alla ricchezza, dove papà non era mai arrivato applausi

Ciao Fausto. Ancora un'ottima traduzione. 👍Ho però una domanda: Dove l'hai trovato il nome del presentatore? Jim Dandy?

[@Roberto-pd8vn]

Ah ok! L'ho trovato anch'io. kzbin.info/www/bejne/on-8lJ1_isqro8k Al minuto 0:55 circa. Di nuovo ciao Fausto. 👍

@@Roberto-pd8vn Ciao Roberto, Il nome compare di sfuggita sotto le sottotitolature di Liz Jim deve avere presentato uno spettacolo degli esordi dei Petersens....Lo avevo gia' visto in Shenandoah, dove i ragazzi avevano gli stessi vestiti..... Li avranno estratti dal filmato di qualche TV locale.....

[@Roberto-pd8vn]

@@faustovignale5861 Hai avuto buon occhio! Io non l'avevo visto nei video di questo canale. Son dovuto andare a cercarlo nel canale Branson Country USA. Come ti ho detto, ottimo lavoro Fausto. Spero che Liz carichi i sottotitoli quanto prima. A presto, ciao Fausto.

Frank, a huge heartfelt thank you for everything you do. I really appreciate it all. PS 1% of views are with your translations, 32k in the last four weeks. That’s a whole lotta views! 💛

[@FrankvdMuijsenberg]

​@@Liz.Newton Thanks so much, Liz. I really enjoy doing these translations and working with you, Roberto and Fausto to make my favorite KZbin channel just a tiny bit better than it already is. 1% does not sound like much but it's indeed not bad at all considering only 0.3% of the world population is a Dutch native speaker, and many Dutch people can also follow your English captions or use non at all. I think it's time for The Petersens to pay us a visit.😉

[@Roberto-pd8vn]

@@FrankvdMuijsenberg Hi Frank. I don't know what happens, I'm trying to send you an answer on the "Dreams" video but YT always deletes it. So I try to rewrite it here. "I tried to listen carefully again, but I don't hear notes so high that they could be played by a banjo or a Dobro. By the way Ellen is perfectly framed and it shows that she is not playing during the last choir. On the contrary, between 4.19 and 4.22, Karen's right arm is seen moving with the bow (on the far right edge of the screen). I also looked at the video fragment Julianne posted on Instagram (their concert at JQH-Springfield) and, even there, you can see that everyone in the last choir stops playing, including Emmett. The only one you can't see well there is Mom. "

[@FrankvdMuijsenberg]

@@Roberto-pd8vn Yeah, Liz told me yesterday that YT was acting weird. I have this too sometimes, it won't let you post comments under certain videos. But I think you're right. I listened to it now with my good headphones. I can hear the 'lowness' (is that a word?) now.

[@kengamble8595]

Some real good music ! Wow, there's just something about a long split tail dress that...... 😊

[@Amr51002]

👍👍👍❤❤

[@andrevanderkooi4132]

Great

[@glennericksenmusic]

Awesome!

[@IHCookiedan]

Great, but where’s the Dobro? Still a grand slam performance.

[@Ihavebeenwatchingyou]

How come mum can show some ankle?

[@waynetaylor4995]

What happened to there father,not in the band.

[@vintagejerry]

This would sound so awesome in a punk rock version

[@scable-eq7bp]

Wow, Matt plays guitar pretty darn good, vocals are right up there with the girls, just needs to work on his comic side....
