Dave Alvin - King Of California

[@chrisatchley523]

This song is amazing and I'm sad that it doesn't have more views. This is one of those songs that moves me to tears and that's a short list.

[@jenningssandlin9839]

I like to cancel this app

[@davedecker1163]

Viewed and acknowledge. Been a king and a pauper here in Central California goin' on near 21 years. I LOVE the challenge. Makes life interesting.👍

[@AdanaGardner]

Chris, I agree 100%. It moves me to tears. Every. Damn. Time.

[@2Chickaboom2]

Goddamn right.

[@deanbixenman5346]

One of my all time favorite songs and one of my all time favorite artists

[@mountainwoodie9816]

Saw Dave tonight in San Diego….he’s still the King of California ! Hang in there Dave, and thanks for all the music…..it means a lot to many of us.

[@grene1955]

One of the greatest songs of all time. Period.

[@realperson6201]

My great grandfather was a fourtyniner. He wrote letters home every week they said. His wife collected them and my grandmother had them. He worked a long time. Then they got a letter and two gold nuggets and he said he was on his way home. He never arrived. When my Grandmother came to live with us, they all thought she was dying, so they sold and threw everything away. She recovered but those letters were gone.

If I wrote a song this great, I'd die happy.

[@harvey1954]

Right up there with Marty Robbins' "El Paso".

[@harvey1954]

Remembering Bobby Lloyd Hicks and his son, Brian Wilson Hicks.

Just a great song … Dave has a unique and wonderful voice and is a terrific musician

[@gracenewton273]

Ok...who is this guy?? I just heard him for the first time on Outlaw Country, a Sirius XM station, earlier today, and the voice struck me and resonated with me so I had to look him up. I usually have so much on my mind I kind of have certain music as background noise, but my ears perked up when this song came on, and it nearly moved me to tears. Not so much the lyrics, but the voice, the talent, and the calm vibe. How have I not heard of him? Just wow. More, please. Wow.

[@robbiarohac3848]

Glad you found him. His voice and poetry and melodies called to me a few years back.

[@760kdub]

[@AP9575-jd]

Heard this for the first time the other day and it's already one of my favorites. The guitar playing is nuts love the music. Better late than never I guess. Thanks Dave.

[@jeffreyday2414]

And amazing writer and performer (and I think that's genius Greg Leisz on mandolin)

[@Moykel]

I think you're right. Recognized him from his recent lap steel playing on Barricades of Heaven (with Jackson Browne). If you've not seen it, search. Genius, as you said.

[@mertozelmusic]

Great singer + songwriter!

[@JoeBurke304]

Greatest song of all time

[@williamc4221]

My love is there out fighting his kingdom...I'm his Queen waiting after the fight his conquer came back!

[@anthonyspinellijr8198]

I used to have a promo copy of that song, back in the 1990s. It definitely is one of my favorite tracks of the 90s.

[@babsteroni]

This guy is great, fantastic even….he’s keeping me “sane”. G.R.Campbell

[@willamsandell1082]

just heard this on the radio and it’s now my favorite song

[@danrodrigues3531]

I just watched a doc on the Beat Farmers which Dave was in and this album immediately came to mind. I can't believe that I forgot its existence. One of my favorites from the 90s...

[@jthunders]

Saw em in the Cruz at the catalyst in the early 90s, what a trip

[@tommyo8967]

Beat farmers!!!!

[@wabblewater]

Sounds like a good cowboy song

[@FatRat03820]

Dreaming just how a rich man feels

[@stevenwalkersongs]

[@felipeperezsolana1012]

De lo mejor que he visto en directo, en garito pequeño, hace 20 años y me acuerdo de el

[@donheenan1571]

Yes a good tune I hadn't heard in years. But tonight on my home and listening to WRSI I heard the end of it looked up...yup people with good musical tastes are few.

[@nexusi6867]

One of my favourite songs by Dave. BTW Dave, please release this album on vinyl!

[@ronsmith1364]

The gold miner story from 'Buster Scruggs', almost like they made it from this song.

[@harbs613]

Your singing kinda reminds of bob Dylan
