I was asked to listen to Sierra Ferrell, ＂In Dreams＂| Reaction

[@jeremyseacrist8446]

Sierra is from my hometown of Charleston WV and I had the privilege of seeing her perform in a dive bar a few years back. She had a bathing suit and fur coat on with no shoes and as soon as she opened her mouth she captivated the audience. Totally agree with your assessment, im not big on folk music but her voice is so special and has opened me up to other folk musicians. Glad you enjoyed.

[@christomlin6966]

I went to Tulsa to see her play, and found the same blonde Kay guitar model hanging in a guitar shop.

[@alexdjukic8658]

This is the video that was my introduction to Sierra years ago and I never looked back. She's a treasure.

[@hlawrencepowell]

She's a phenom. Since then she's taken on the whole world and is loved by everyone who hears her. Amazing voice, amazing songwriter. In her own way, she's a modern Bob Dylan in that you can't pin her down. I've listened to it a ton of times.

[@ladesigner8764]

agree….rare rare talent. She’s touring currently. Seeing her soon, thankfully.

[@BearClanMan1970]

I have never heard of Sierra Ferrell before and so I am glad to have had exposure to her now. I love this song and it feels like music that is very popular in local Asheville, NC. I'm going to iTunes now to look for her music.

[@tracymarshall5632]

I stumbled across Sierra about a year or so ago, I immediately felt like I was transported to another era ...I went down the rabbit hole and cannot believe the magical sound and the feelings which she is able to evoke. It's refreshing, and somehow sounds old but new at the same time... Definitely an old soul Great reaction, spot on btw...

[@genngeorge9909]

I've been really angry for years now that Sierra hasn't gotten the recognition that she deserves. Now that she's about to blow up, I'm afraid I'm going to be mad when this secret only some of us are aware of becomes public knowledge. I'll get over it, though--she deserves to be a household name.

[@Jonesatk]

Same!😂❤

[@diam1381]

If Patsy Cline and Amy Winehouse had a baby, and that baby grew up deep in Appalachia, that's Sierra Ferrell. My personal favorites are "Bells of Every Chapel" and "West Virginia Waltz," but her whole catalog is very diverse, and you can hear influences from everywhere. I adore what she's bringing to music these days.

[@amyzeminski1464]

Yes!!

[@LizAnne1980]

I’d never heard of her! Pure voice! ❤❤❤

[@Hefher]

I agree with you ! I've found that I love all genera of music! It's great when you can have an open mind !

[@krislombardo]

I've been watching you for awhile. I am so glad you are reacting to Sierra - she was one of my finds last year and I love her music.

[@keefmack]

Love this girl. I began hearing her and seeing her show up to sing and play when she was 18-19 years old. She was special from day one. I just went to see her again a week ago. Great show. There was something special in the air around my hometown at that time. Lots of great music. Still good music here.

[@ginger7044]

Wow A new voice I’ve never heard! Definitely someone I want to hear more of. Thank you!!

[@eLGeeenius]

New song and artist to me! Love it! Thanks for turning me on to her.

[@swingsloth]

Comlletely agree, man. Her live performances are generally much more organic and earthy which suits her songs really well.

[@JoelJB60]

Her live version of "The Sea" or "Years" recorded by AudioTree are amazing

[@lchris33]

This was great, and introduced me to a new artist. One thing about these reaction videos is that it helps expose me to a wider range of music than I normally listen to. I'd heard your reaction to a familiar Led Zeppelin track and almost didn't click on this because I'd never heard of Sierra Ferrell. But I'm glad I did. She has one of those classic bluegrass type of voices (I see she's from West Virginia) and I definitely want to check out more!

[@ninochkalove]

love her voice and the melody....and the theme of the song. Thanks for posting!

[@fredferdmanley612]

Sierra Ferrell is great, love the song Made Like That, check out her John Anderson cover of a song called “Years”

[@emartin5245]

I’ve never heard this but I love it! Reminds me when I was a pre teen and teen. Occasionally my parents would have a big outdoor BBQ and some friends would bring their musical instruments and play bluegrass on and off all day. I mainly listened to rock but I sure came to love that bluegrass.

[@fastcamaro70]

Found Sierra through tik Tok a few years ago. Just went to Aspen to watch her at the belly up. Amazing talent love her music

[@MelonMcGee]

"You know you have a voice when you give yourself goosebumps." HAHAHAHA I'm with you. Love many genres and Sierra is one of my favs from bluegrass/jazz/irishjigg-a-whatever-this is. That VOICE!

[@gregsvintageconsoles]

She is amazing. Check out her recent live cover of Don’t Let Me Down.

[@pamouellette5344]

I really enjoy your page. You've introduced me to songs I've never heard! ❤ And you don't interrupt like a lot of others do. 😊

[@personreanimation]

I love her. Have for years. Glad to see someone see her for what she is as a Gem of life. I am big time into Plini, Chon, etc; but I am from Texas and I have a soft spot for true folk country. Glad to see you react to this tbh man.

[@ashleyrinker4374]

I saw her a couple years ago and it was a great show!

[@tammic2016]

I adore her. So glad you enjoyed it ❤

[@Parth-gd9vz]

New music for me … loved it and thank you 👍🏼

[@davidanon1568]

Great reaction, love learning new music from your channel !

[@brentemory1078]

Saw her live in May. Took the whole family. Everyone's jaw was dropped the entire show. Amazing artist.

[@SuperSweetmo]

She just dropped a new album TODAY and it is AMAZING react to American Dreaming from Trail of Flowers !!!!

[@literalvampirepotbellygobl5629]

Even after we're all long gone, well that river will flow on. Won't you take me with you before I'm one? Beautiful song. Check out "Chittlin' Cookin' Time in Cheatham County" for a great bluesy track from her.

[@mattfarrell6051]

Fellow west Virginian here and love seeing people discover sierra. She is so underrated and talented

[@chrisredlich7075]

I very recently came across Sierra and was instantly hooked. She plays with life in sound and in appearance so my curiosity pulls me in further.

[@swingsloth]

Something so beautifully ethereal about Sierra.

[@wrothman]

Etherial, yes, but she also throws her whole body passionately into her singing the way Janis Joplin did. Check out her recent live performance of Me and Bobby McGee at kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnSnlKitrLaniKs . There has never been a great singer quite like her. And she keeps growing! So does her brilliant band.

[@rousell68]

A sublime piece of music. Like you said the album or Spotify version have nothing on this raw beautiful sound. Love it!

[@carolleiter6027]

Loved this

[@johnmurray2214]

Thanks for your honest reaction Great points. Incomparable Sierra ., setting a standard for great music. !

[@maryklever1633]

Terrific voice! Kind of ethereal? She reminds me of Maria Muldaur "Midnight at the Oasis."

[@dawnschneider187]

Beautiful voice!

[@wrothman]

Sierra Ferrell and Nick Shoulders also appreciate each other, as is obvious from these videos, which are musically impeccable, beautiful, and fun: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmi2mX2wj9FrfbM kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4rLgql-lN6noqM kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5Kzpn56adh7ndE

[@CrystalChavarria]

Beautiful song and songstress! I love the raw, realness of the performance. Thanks for introducing me to this! So beautiful. Another amazing song with this beautiful bluegrass feel that you absolutely need to listen to that I know you would love is Patty Griffin and a song called Mary. This song will pull at your heartstrings but you'll love it too. ❤

[@NickolasNuber]

Talented old soul.

[@reneamuir]

that comment you said about having eclectic music taste is so true. i used to be ashamed of how different my music taste was from my peers growing up, but now 've fully embraced how vast it is---i love how wide it spans, and it's only getting wider. i don't even limit myself to english songs anymore; good lyrics should always be celebrated, but knowing what's going on isn't the first thing i'm looking at. the things that truly captivate me concerning songs are song composition/chord progression, killer vocals, and solid production. this kind of "checklist" gets me to truly appreciate the various kinds of music that are available. especially with how the internet and streaming works nowadays, it would be a complete waste if i had this kind of free access but still chose to listen to what i know or what i think i should be listening to as part of a specific group. with that said, sierra ferrell is amazing, her debut album with this song on it was played front to back for a solid 2 weeks for me.

[@iconadams]

Sierra Ferrell is SPECIAL. And coming soon, EVERYONE will know.

[@markriffey8899]

She makes music that people who think they hate country music reconsider everything they think they know about the genre.😊. The message here, to keep an open mind, is equally as beautiful as the song.

[@davidhale9672]

Like many magical musicians, the studio can't capture the essence. Check out her performance of Don't Let Your Deal Go Down from Carter Vintage. It is stunning. The world awaits an official release of a full concert.

[@loosieclocker]

She is a performer. Like Charley Crockett, both learned their trade busking in the street

[@JM-rl1hf]

This song got me started on her music. Seeing her live in April and really looking forward to the show.

[@okieshaver997]

I've probably listened to this version a couple hundred times. Any of her songs are great but I'd suggest Hey me, hey mama for you to listen to or react to, but it deserves a listen!

[@HelgaGriffith]

I’ve never heard of her before but I really like it!

[@lepm1970]

Saw her last Summer at Blue Ridge Music Center in Grayson County, VA off the Blue Ridge Parkway. A ridiculously good live show and this was the encore song. The entire show was outstanding, but this is the song I went to see and she didn't disappoint!

[@yallahyallah4220]

there are just some artists that don't need any "production", all they need is a mic and their instrument and all the magic happens on its own.

[@tmcmurdo826]

Wow, discovered a new songbird here. Thank you, Polo and your followers suggestions. Right up my alley. If you like Sierra, I would also recommend Lisa Hannigan. Great places to start would be Little Bird, Home, or Safe Travels. Thank you for turning me on to so much great music.

[@Delmar-q2v]

A must see artist to see live I got to see her live in Cleveland Ohio one of my best top concerts I ever went to from start to finish.

[@crisprtalk6963]

She is the most interesting singer, songwriter and performer I’ve seen in decades. Pure talent.

[@swingsloth]

My dude, if you are liking Sierra you need to hear some Nick Shoulders. These two have kept my faith in the future of country music strong.

[@loosieclocker]

Found shoulders little over a year ago. Amazing sound

[@kristyw8180]

Just saw Nick open for Sierra last month. Both phenomenal!

[@swingsloth]

@@kristyw8180 both are heading here to Australia soon. But promoters here are rubbish. NickyBob only has shows in Southernmost states, and Sierra is coming to a trash venue where everyone has to be outdoors, in the hottest part of the year... Storm season. Bloody joke.

[@kristyw8180]

@@swingsloth ugh that’s shite!

[@swingsloth]

@@kristyw8180 yeah. Not ideal. But we've seen Sierra in a super intimate venue already. So I don't see new shows being as personal feeling as that. And Nick will be back sometime. If not we'll have to trek to the US to catch him.

[@kim81201]

Sierra is definitely a beautiful songbird. Not a day goes but I don’t listen to her. Love her always.

[@ladesigner8764]

some of us are very eclectic musically….love most, especially IF they are talented like Sierra. She is special.

[@The-Crypt]

She was just on Jimmy Kimmell. New album March 22nd. Shes about to blow up, get on the reaction train now. Check out her back story.

[@katmayful]

Beautiful voice

[@SeanMatson]

She is a legend

[@chipsterb4946]

I stumbled onto a video of a live show of Sierra’s 2 or 3 years ago and have been listening to her ever since. It’s from the 2021 XPoNential Music Festival and still is a favorite of mine. The recordings of her at the time failed to capture the energy and essence of her live performances, but I think her latest album “Trail of Flowers” nails it. Compared to 99% of current music there is no “grid” and certainly no autotune. Her sense of pitch and timing is infectious. Her voice is amazing, but she’s also an incredible songwriter with a sense of humor and insight into our emotional worlds. Bleah Zappa once said that writing about music is like dancing about architecture…

[@kswwhodat]

Love Sierra!

[@jonathanbarb5516]

Nice! Bro, I have been hoping someone would put you on to Sierra! I thought you'd like her old timey feel

[@carlahelin5203]

Oh please do Sierra doing “Years” live Audiotree STAGED.

[@jacquimg2469]

Beautiful

[@Rad_Radster_Experience]

You are right sir many filks do not have a wide taste in a variety of music genres. I have taught my son to try everything musically and I can say he loves stuff from punk to reggae to ska to hip hop to early disco, arena rock, ray chatles, alternative country and muxh more. A limited mind is a stifled mind.

[@pjmlegrande]

Good taste, man. I love this song. Stumbled on her a couple years ago

[@crazydale1000]

I'm a musician. I listen to almost everything. Of course there are certain artists I prefer to listen to

[@eargasmicmorsels773]

Thinking you might enjoy Cat Clyde if u like Sierra Ferrell. Fave tracks are Mama Said, Like A Wave, & Everywhere I Go.

[@steely1neverwane]

"Rosemary" is my favourite of Sierras.

[@InvertInteriors]

Yes! Came here from watching the video of her singing it last night at the Ryman.

[@InvertInteriors]

[@SuperVonKiller]

Check Sierra out singing Don't Let Your Deal Go Down, If I Was The Bottle...

[@LizAnne1980]

This sounds like Appalachian Mountain music .

[@jonathanrobinson1548]

I clicked on your reaction because I love this song, and wanted to hear what others think about it. Now, I mostly jam to punk and industrial metal. But I'm like you in that I can usually find something I like in every genre of music. If you're ever feeling in the folk mood again, I'd suggest "There Is Hope for You" by William Elliot Whitmore. I used to sing my daughter to sleep with that song

[@kaypoling66]

Has a very bluegrass feel.

[@jacobmoore6236]

Sierra Ferrell, Charley Crockett, Bella White, Nick Shoulders

[@sculluhlakoo]

Great choice! And I'm pretty sure Sierra Ferrell wouldn't be hanging out with any outward racists, this woman is a true free spirit, vagabond hippie type. Nose piercing, flamboyant outfits, etc. She also listens to all types of music. She had some white hillbilly types come out to open for her in San Francisco, from W Virginia. And they bust out with some 90s style hiphop/rap, and they were pretty good! So, she don't give a shit about those types of things. And you don't either, that's why you also listen to all types of music, it's inspiring! Most people are too scared to break out of their comfort zone/cultural group, worrying about what their group would think. But music, food, whatever, are the things that get people talking and relating to each other. Btw I am a Gen x Asian, born in SoCal white people land, and listen to everything.

[@fwpjr1983]

You do realize that not all “white hillbillies” are racist? I’m from WV just like her and I’m not racist, so please don’t lump us all together because of something you’ve seen on TV or seen in the news.

Great recommendation Polo!! So nice to find new musicians to listen to… 🙏🏼…if you haven’t heard of Chinchilla,check out “Chalk Outlines” the live video collab with Ren. Then watch her live TV version of her song “Fingers” is hauntingly beautiful and gives me goosebumps every time. 🤘🏻🎧🤟🏼

[@cathyholtwick1047]

Found your reactions tonight - haven't hunted on your channel yet, but if you've NOT found Stevie Ray Vaughn you've missed a legendary master blues guitarist. It MATTERS NOT what song you find to review, every single SRV song is masterful and MIND BLOWING 🤯😁

[@poloreacts27]

I have quite a bit on my channel

[@creedance1980]

230 million songs in the world , rock, sakkie, you name it we haveiy 11 languages in South Africa. We don't really talk to anyone who goes hard in on a genre, Unless they on a trip with it to experience it an add it to the 100's thousands of terabytes that exist. Same chords same humans...shame same,

[@shauna7946]

Please make time to react to Sierra singing '29'. It's about the 2010 mining explosion in West Virginia. She was with 600 lb of sin when the group wrote the song. Her voice is amazing in this powerful dirge. She sounds like she's screaming at times or crying out... The guitar playing is masterful and the emotions in the lyrics portray the final 5 days waiting to see if the four remaining miners were alive. The chorus repeats the horrific end, '25 is now 29' . The song is, in my mind, as significant as 'Ohio' and 'You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" kzbin.info/www/bejne/poezhYyoaN93mZosi=mJLOYG_bU9mgA6WQ Also this version that was filmed in the year of the disaster!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZeol6FtZdihjZIsi=N4wHXCRuo7oEojYu

[@theycallmemuss5644]

I think you should shout out the channel you get videos from.

[@drewpd7]

All of these old vids of her were soooooo good. I’m happy she’s getting the recognition she deserves but at least in my opinion her big label albums seem soulless. Her cover of the mountain is amazing kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoallqJ8ndNojrc 27:17 in

[@seejewlatersheetdeek8777]

You should listen to molly parden seasons of love

[@oldsoulsheart]

You're right when you say many people don't have a broad taste in music and stick within the genres they are used to. I suffer from a lack of willingness to listen to music that normally doesn't suit my taste. I don't like classic country because in my youth I was not allowed to listen to anything but classic country. I don't listen to rap music because to me it is a series of spoken words mixed with random beats and I don't consider it music. Bubble-gum music strikes me as childish and simplistic so I avoid it. However, since I began listening to your reactions to music I normally wouldn't give the time of day to, I find my musical horizons expanding. There will always be songs I will not like but taking the time to listen to them as you react to them has a least given me the opportunity to explore outside my comfort zone.

[@jimmcintyre7754]

You’re doing a great job but I can’t watch you because of the perpetual motion thing. It’s so damn distracting!

[@swingsloth]

Sorry for spamming the comments, mate. But if you want to try something a little different, maybe try listening to a Joanna Newsom song called "only skin". Challenging for many people to get into, but I know you're open minded.

Sounds great. Man, hard to watch though - she’s got something in her nose.
