Fair To Midland - "Amarillo Sleeps On My Pillow" (Violitionist Sessions)

[@tdognschooch]

The fact this band doesn't have album after album after album is one of the greatest tragedies to happen to ever happen to rock!

[@cornpop7351]

Inclined to agree. Fact that they’re texans make it so rad imo. They’re talented and quite original.

[@goldenratio5117]

Such a great band. All Darrough Sudderth's rare songs and tracks are gold too.

[@marcpomaville9429]

I decided to not go to a show, said I'll go to next one. They then broke up. They're my favorite band. And I never got to see them.😢

[@SerDelCaos]

@@marcpomaville9429 same here...

[@boogeyratt]

@@marcpomaville9429 Ah, that's too bad. These guys are freaking amazing live, far beyond their albums. And they're legit down to earth dudes. Hung out with them after shows (and before shows) back when they were still touring. Darroh and Cliff are fuckin' amazing dudes to their fans.

[@fender0942]

How this band didn’t explode is beyond me. Fables is one of the greatest full albums ever. Every song is amazing. It baffles me. I’ll listen to this band till I die. Short lived but huge impact.

[@mayralopez9385]

Completely agree.

[@bellaluna465]

Yup.

[@scarletbelmont9022]

Agreed. So good

[@JOHNORADOfan69]

So good

[@DevilzDance81]

Arrows & Anchors is just as good.

[@lbhrn2007]

One of the best acoustic versions of a song I've ever heard. The singer is by the far the most underrated singer in metal history.

[@sleepyowl4324]

Still the most talented writer in metal history since maynard and still my favorite.

[@bellaluna465]

I completely agree with you, we have the same taste!! 😂

[@honkingantalope]

Who the fuck is Maynard. You idiots mean Serj Tankian. Quit trying to get fans to your failed band.

[@Tritonianyeti3]

@honkingantalope Maynard????? As in Maynard James Keenan?????? Of tool, a perfect circle, and puscifer??? Definitely not a “failed band” as he is a part of 3 very successful ones. Maybe try listening to any of them and you’ll see how idiotic you sound.

[@lorianamesia331]

yes thank you

[@suffasprangs9032]

💯

[@JohnnyTremendo]

darroh's voice is one of the best out there....

[@Thecasualgamer-pp5wc]

Right next to chester Bennington

[@I-oh_Badguy]

So goddamn majestic..... someday, someone will find them all, and get them to play again. The world needs the midland.

[@davidyackell]

Miss this band immensely. They were phenomenal, ahead of their time. I saw them many times.

[@thelostjackal8665]

The drummers last name is stowers, his dad was my English teacher lmao, Brent would come in and hang out with his dad and I was the only fucking person who actually knew what he was a part of, got my fables album signed by the entire band cause of him 🙂

[@joecapone3rd]

I miss this band! 🤘

[@suffasprangs9032]

Aboulute 🔥... please keep this video alive

[@lucidphreak1137]

man i have loved them forever but am just stumbling across this song and these sessions.. that dude has some SERIOUSLY strong pipes!!! DAMN!

[@bryanfyock7414]

Still can't get over them being "done". A top 10 favorite band of all time for me. Miss them dearly.

[@Boomer.Roberts]

I had never seen these sessions either, and holy hell his voice is incredible when he's nice and relaxed in this setting. I'm not used to seeing him not completely covered in sweat and going insane on stage, which always made his live vocals suffer a bit.

[@vezi38]

Seeing these 5 guys play, one take, acoustic songs, flawlessly is simply awesome, I hate to use the comparison but, being the age I am, I can remember when a band did a similar one-take acoustic set like this and it was awesome in it's day, sold a ton of copies, and that band was Guns N' Roses....(LIES).....what other band has the BALLS to record a one taker like this nowdays?.......I'd bet no one I'm a HUGE Fair to Midland fan, and if anyone has not seen them live, put it on your bucket list!

[@JillYvette1]

Such a shame they don't make music anymore. Such talented musicians.

[@ElZoer31]

We Miss You..

[@gmorkins6006]

Probably the most tragic band split in recent memory.

[@seventhform]

This is next level!! Please come back! Music like this is forgotten these days. These are legend musicians!

[@lilbabycheesusasmr4882]

The most beautiful voice

[@Minhoco77]

I miss this band :(

[@lolikaitlollerskates4984]

this band is so fucking under-rated everyone in the band is so damn amazing I seriously do not understand why they aren't taking over been a huge fan since their first ep I randomly found on iTunes they are some of the best musician's of our time without a doubt and they deserve so much more recognition the lyrics (insanely perfect vocals) the riddles and every instrument and their skill puts everything out today to shame if you don't agree you're a fucking dumbass and probably blare dubstep and gaga in your fucking car. I love you Fair to Midland. you guys are fucking amazing.

[@Fibonacci09]

I wish I could hear Darroh's voice this well on their album release. Amazing band none-the-less.

[@sherriebrown2506]

My brother and I have discussed starting a Go-Fund-Me for them... I heard they owe the record label about 100k and a couple of the members are nowhere to be found. I'd love to help them out of limbo...Shall we find a loophole? ;)

[@ChristopherRobert123]

Would be a great idea. If you start it please reply with a link to donate because I would love to hear new material from these guys!

[@PiT0nZo]

I always said if I hit the lottery I would get them back together...

[@77936fief]

+Sherrie Brown is there any news on the band? i would actually like to lessen my cravings for fair to midland

[@ChristopherRobert123]

+ernst de waal Hey, a couple of FTM guys and some guys from other bands have started a new band called Erstwhile. They have a single out at the moment. Check them out. m.facebook.com/erstwhileofficial?refsrc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ferstwhileofficial

[@77936fief]

Rob Salter Awesome!thanks

[@sangoswoman]

I really hate how these guys aren't more famous. they're so talented.

[@theory028]

The two best live shows I've ever been to have been Fair to Midland. I'll never forget the last time I saw them. My buddies and I hung out when they were tearing down and I gave Darroh a business hug. Fair to Midland is unbeatable. I really hope they get back together to make more music. They're perfect.

[@cinnam0n_swirls]

if FTM won't get back together then it'd be killer if Darroh at least released some new material as a solo artist. He was the soul of the band. I understand if he's got a family and stuff now, and I have no idea how the music biz works - I'm sure it's not as simple as what I'm saying - but I do really believe that if he somehow came from out of the blue yet again, he would be wildly successful.

[@boogeyratt]

Darroh actually did a couple of demos where it was basically all him, and they were fucking amazing. Sadly, even those weren't enough to wake the world the fuck up.

[@carlosbarrios3667]

Please come back! 2018 music needs you

[@sancrispino3095]

2019 needs them too!

[@pxndxholic]

Mid 2019 is not any better

[@KingDaveth]

Guys I'm going to be honest, 2020 already sucks...I need these guys back.

[@callofcaymen3007]

Facts

[@bellalovesyouu]

so does 2022!!

[@dnaglitchgaming6565]

This is a Jam session. I can just imagine walking into a bar in The Bayou and seeing these guys, underrated and ultra talented...oh wait that was their fate except the Louisiana bar.

[@Hyperpract]

i come back to these sessions every few months, but this is my favorite. the whole band together acoustic. holy shit! this is one of the few bands that are sacred to me.

[@aaronfindlay7490]

He's fucking ridiculous. How isnt he one of the biggest names in Rock n Roll ever?

[@jacksontravis1666]

Money. Big music industry. Dude would’ve changed the game but these labels are absolute aids!

[@psyniac]

It's the second chorus for me. That grit in Darroh's voice makes my soul shake.

[@goldenratio5117]

I've listened to everything this band has touched. Amazing musicians

[@suesutton9226]

the vocals on this song are amazing . . and it is a great song, this band should be still going strong they are absolutely awesome !

[@maizeni7817]

This is sOOo good! It gave me chills. Wish these guys would get back together.

[@DeepV00]

The drum gallop is just awesome and it makes the song like 9999x better imo and Darroh being awesome...thats a give in

[@KStx565]

I would give anything to see them again. Any location Id be on the flight there. Any dollar amount and id charge it. The world NEEDS Fair to Midland.

[@ChucklesBiscuits]

where did you go my friends, you are missed beyond what you know

[@darthlost]

Wow, just wow. Amarillo Sleeps On My Pillow is one of my favorites on the album, and this made it 1000x better. LOVE IT!

[@matthewgonzales8953]

tear to my eye and a smile to my face

[@fredgermain6279]

Why in gods name is this band not on the radio?! I know about the financial issues and all, and how these guys just couldn’t catch a break even after the record deal, but damnit.. hasn’t anyone heard their last two albums?!?! No reason this doesn’t get air time. None.

[@jeffsweeten3270]

Love the places this band sends me

[@Aonair1]

please come back you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Vicugna_pacos]

😢😢😢 . . . . . . . . . . . That's all. I'm so grateful we got these two full albums.

[@nymphetaminetattoo]

Does anyone know how to contact them? I would really like to launch a campaign to help them get on their feet and making music again.

[@sodideye]

I'm with you there.

[@fatroscoesasmr7001]

yes they live by me..in commerce i dont think its happening fyi

[@opiiatee]

Why have they stopped? This makes me very sad.

[@TheChainsofAlice]

I heard they stopped because someone at some point stole alot of there equipment and they basically became broke. Down right shame, def one of my favorite bands.

[@travisnotcool]

TheChainsofAlice www.sputnikmusic.com/news/28035/fair-to-midland-inactive/

[@GiggaGMikeE]

Holy. Shit. This is amazing. How have I not heard this version?

[@AmyMaus]

holy moses...been listenin to tha cd NON stop fer weeks....this? i want it implanted in my ears, NOW. need this shiz like air. ♥~mouse

[@N3m3cis]

Free. I'm just fucking flabbergasted that in this piss ass world there's something like this for free. I cry, now, for joy.

[@SlyDevil13]

Hung out with these guys for a few hours after a concert in Detroit. Probably the nicest/most down to earth guys ive ever me. Darroh almost beat up a hobo who wouldn't leave us alone haha

[@themongoose2567]

The greatest tragedy of rock history is that these guys stopped creating.

[@rockmusictilldeath]

I really like this version! Darroh Really never cease to amaze me.

[@masterpunish469]

Powerful, moving and something much needed in this day and age. Real fucking music! Thank you gentlemen and my you rock for years to come.

[@JanusZeal]

Love this band~ and love talking to them after shows~ They are such cool guys

[@trapp609]

you guys are incredible. I can't stop listening to the album

[@lillieursua4614]

What ever happened to these guys, such an original sound, thought for sure they'd be the next big thing, "nothing more" seems to have taken this sound and run with it.

[@quazy50]

+Lillie Ursua Apparently amassed a ton of debt after their last album and basically split up.

[@acolytetojippity]

+reidcook59 They're not. But they have a similar sound. I want Darroh to guest vocal on something from them though. One of the best voices in music, shame that FTM broke apart.

[@danielmcmahon858]

My dream scenario is that Johnny from NoMo goes back to the drumset/backup vocals and Darroh becomes their lead singer/songwriter. It'll never happen in a million years, but a man can dream, right?

[@dehasim]

when i heard Kyla Cries Cologne, in the chorus his voice was very similar to Johnny Hawkins voice

[@pinchespiderman]

Holy shit!

[@Daretoshi66]

Bravo for sharing these Sir!

[@s0mack]

Per FTM's drummer, the primary reasons are 1) money problems, 2) communication problems, and 3) travel/logistics (some members now live outside of Texas)

[@davesutton9624]

So cooool. Don't know when, but these dudes are going to be HUGE one day.

[@michaeldavenport3993]

Amazing vocals and instrumentals

[@JerrysKids87]

So much talent gone by.

[@bobomchobo]

@gacktxrawr I love how it's a completely different version and vision of an amazing song.

[@swimcounts]

im so excited I finally get to see Darroh sing live next sat!!!!!

[@pxndxholic]

We fucking miss you guys

[@jilloplo]

One thing I found amazing about Darroh is that during live shows, when he's flailing around and dancing, he can hit all the notes. He's crazy.

[@careyballard1062]

Amazing Voice and melodic sounds are mesmerizing, LOVE

[@Haushinka867]

best voice ever

[@madtoto]

His voice is outstanding

[@K4LL1571]

i fucking LOVE FtM!!!! ive seen em like 8 times........ in 3 different cities, lol!

[@harddrive20]

@ArmyOfOne313 a loophole in limbo is my favorite song off it to, its beautiful

[@DevilzDance81]

One of the true unique sounds in music today.

[@Theoryof1vids]

So FREAKIN raw man! IT's AWESOME! I love it!

[@anhyzerkaiser]

My favorite fair to midland song

[@09300889]

This is the art already

[@Hyperpract]

I wish there was a way to like a video more than just a thumbs up... sometimes you need to throw a hammer at something you like this much!

[@__M__]

You can get these on the Andy's Bar CD/DVD at the band's merch site.

[@immortalsaiyans]

holy shit, awsome voice!!!!!!

[@gregorritutube]

Oh and thanks for sending my friend kyle a bday wish from Australia! /bow

[@CoreyEacret]

@DCBOYZ54 Having never heard of them, I am now convinced after watching a couple videos he is a modern day eunuch. My ears are still bleeding by the way, thanks.

[@seidimeow]

Was it like a stare in a way? Because he did it to me too! But I didn't know who he was at first ): Now I love them!

[@eitavito]

he sings so awesome

[@humbledmonk]

Wow, this is... AMAZING!

[@TheAwesomeStraticus]

@DCreedrox its a resonator, or dobro as some call it. a very bluesy/country instrument. commonly played with a slide. i want one. really badly

[@sierra3daction]

wow....pure genius beauty

[@sexylexiebaby]

Darroh, and he's definitely the best front man I have ever seen! I agree.

[@bigheart1992]

Just amazing

[@joelnolte80]

amazing.

[@Cajuncooked666]

@boogeyratt yeah the new bassist (Ryan Collier) is a fantastic bassist. Jon was talented, but live, he kind of just...stood there. I don't know how Logan Kennedy is doing as Brett's replacement though. He can definitely play his drum parts perfectly, but we'll have to see how writing goes from now on. One thing about the new band members is it'll be a while before we hear older songs played (except for Orphan Anthem, which they played at the Granada show on 12-23-2011).

[@rikorukola2069]

Something awesome here..

[@gregorritutube]

mother of god I fucking love this band.

[@Slntpsych]

Yes.

[@willanddave]

@Cajuncooked666 the band with the new members is just fucking awesome live. Ryan and Cliff have a great dynamic going

[@swimcounts]

@martinmariboe you got that right!

[@88blackandwhite88]

Bro, you should have offered this tune to RDR2 So damn good

[@Bartholomule01]

@guitardwight I suggest Free Studio Manager. It will allow you to do that and so much more.

[@methanolx78]

Love me some "Fair to"

[@miseryfloats]

LOVE LOVE LOVE ♥

[@SIMMOSGULAG]

Singer is a genius

[@johantsio]

πω πω μ'αρέσει πολύ αυτό το κομμάτι..

[@hailMichaelSwaim]

I would like to submit that Darroh is quite possibly the greatest vocalist out there today.

[@DeepV00]

@DCreedrox I think its a Mandolin

[@anhyzerkaiser]

Amazing

[@martinmariboe]

@DCBOYZ54 have you heard more tracks with them? Darroh can sing everything, and i really mean everything :O
