Chris Thile & Michael Daves - "Sleep with One Eye Open"

[@user-gb7vx5qu3h]

What a pair! Dave's voice is the sexiest instrument being played. Thile's mandolin can't resist that high mountain voice. It's like Dave's voice is the reincarnation of the mandolin. Those two are so intense, it's like nuclear hillbilly energy.

[@acester86]

How have I gone so long without hearing about these guys. This is better than any country music that has been on the charts for the last 9 years, ESPECIALLY the last 5 years.

[@eashton42]

Christopher "Midas" Thile, turning everything he touches into gold, as usual. And seriously, have you ever heard anyone with as unique a voice-and as much of a throwback voice-as Michael Daves? This stuff is just terrific.

[@BardofCornwall]

Very seldom do I yell out loud when watching youtube, but this got a "whoop" out of me--just top notch!

[@apeelingaustin]

Thile's hip shaking brings me great joy. That and the unbridled awesomeness of this duo.

[@mbsnyderc]

Of all the post nickle creek work Chris has done.i like this stuff the best sometimes less is more.

[@barbarapaulson4858]

Awesome !!!

[@augustlea8]

Just saw you guys like 2 hours ago!!! Got a picture and everything ! Great Night! For Sure!

[@ebutuoy5757]

I'm going to Nashville next week to see these amazing men! OMG

[@Free1108]

Just listened to the NPR Tiny Desk Concert and had to come here so I could listen to more!! I'm off to get the album...Awesome!!

[@USNAVDC]

I can't listen to this without kicking up my heels! This is too damn hot! :-) I'm dancing around more that Chris Thile.

[@jamesdaves9608]

1st time, I love it

[@Ssheldon618]

Awesome! Talented musicians.

[@coreymeuchel]

Oh yeah, I'll see you boys in Knoxville on May 18th!!! Can't wait for the album to "drop"!!

[@crowebroke]

As good as it gets. I feel very excited about this.

[@johnjohnson9093]

Two instruments and a lot of talent.

[@brettbarrow4383]

It cracks me up that Michael's playing an old True-Tone guitar worth maybe $150 while Chris is playing a Lloyd Loar mandolin worth $150,000. But they're both such great players and great musicians they could both make anything sound good.

[@keithbuck1668]

And from what I've read and seen, Chris Thile doesn't care. He was awarded 100k for the McArthur genius award and spent it on a Lloyd loar. As a musician, I would've too.

[@keithbuck1668]

Once you find your instrument, it doesn't matter what it costs. It's yours and you play the devil out of it.

[@wernerkonings]

Reaaally cool rithmic playing!

[@BenjaminPack1]

Wow...never doubt Thile.

[@dannybighair]

from now on.. FROM NOW OOOON

[@TheZacek]

hopefuly, there will be another one :-)

[@koozeg]

wow his voice

[@bazookaspeakerfunk]

a deep depression set in when i saw that the tour doesnt reach us homegrowns... sad day in the west

[@guitar1977man]

Caraaazzzyyyy!

[@willanicole6356]

TIMING IS INCREDIBLE NOT TO MENTION TALENT💖

[@GuruMeditationError]

Astonishing duet at 1:50.

[@MrStitches123]

I love it so much.. can't decide if this is meant to be a parody of or an homage to Del McCoury. Excellent sound either way.

[@djmeadows95]

by the way this song is amazing

[@DweeD1516]

No I think they were just communicating through the music and making sure they were harmonizing each others voices.

[@coreymeuchel]

Done got the dropjaw...

[@benniets]

are they just using that main microphone to amplify the instruments?

[@danyismygf]

Gripping your pillow tiiight

[@frankpeter6851]

bill grant and deliah bell turned me on to this song

[@myheadhurtsify]

@ChuckTrebloc Flight of the Conchords..

[@wlross3]

These are not mortals.

[@djmeadows95]

@ChuckTrebloc FOTC

[@bigmuddy1]

Anyone know what kind of guitar that is? Sounds pretty good for something that seems to have a screwed on pickguard and painted trim. But also some kind of adjustable neck.

[@wscomn800]

That's a 1950s True Tone. Some of them can be quite nice sounding. Check out this link for pictures: www.myrareguitars.com/getting-elmore-james-sound-cheap

[@richardneubauer4395]

Bears a striking resemblance to my old Stella. lol.

[@ActressOnTheMove]

@superjoffen Chris Thile looks like a sexy Jude Law. And Jude Law is already sexy so...Haha.

[@TheZacek]

@ChuckTrebloc tell me about it, i am a hetero guy :-D

[@rharold56]

Typical bluegrass amplification is a single mike that the musicians play and sing into. Mike Daves doesnt need a mike for his voice to be heard.

[@dnauheim]

Yeah, their fantastic, but the tuner on the peghead kinda ruins the 1950's zeitgeist. Pet peeve I guess.

[@OGKush2010]

Room for everyone in bluegrass, check out some of the looks mike and chris give eachother in other video bud... im pretty sure theyre lovers.

[@mbsnyderc]

pointless comment.

[@kevinjohnson6424]

This is really crappy. Slamming their instruments and yelling. Thrash grass. It’s clear they are talented but they sure don’t show it.

[@kevinjohnson6424]

Michael Dave’s is trying too hard. Thrash grass
