If Tom Waits Went Drinking & Fighting W/ Zach Bryan ... and had a fiddle...

[@tomj1270]

Violins are pampered, fiddles get soaked in beer.

[@Guitargate]

Ah yes. Now I get it.

[@groovygrandmasgardengigs3858]

🤣😂🤣

[@johnhuntersanders5897]

Violins have strings. Fiddles have strangs.

[@michaellorah9051]

Fiddle is just a violin bathed in Irish whiskey.

[@ninaflorez155]

If this left you with chills, seeing them live will blow your mind! The sound conjures a magic that takes you takes your whole soul on an epic journey. And when the music stops, you always carry a little of that magic within you.

[@lenneketraas3901]

"I love it so hard" when you get excited. The amazement in your eyes. It just makes my day

[@lareinedemado]

Your reactions are so genuine compared to what I've seen from other channels. I just love passionate people. 😊 And this band...OMG! Never heard of them, Tom Waits probably brought me here through YT magic. 👏 from France

[@Xlorntabis]

Some songs you instantly know are going to become a favorite. This is one of em.

[@elrondtobin4483]

I love the way Marty strums chords, his placement & purposeful intent. a master of lovely sparse playing. This is great, I love the album version too

[@natespray8862]

Stoked you finally got Marty and the Old Soul Orchestra on here, been dropping them in the comments for over a year 😆 but one of my favorite groups to see live, definitely see them if you get the chance!

[@damentesch]

Totally agree! Where have you seen them?

[@natespray8862]

@@damentesch think I've seen them play about 20 shows. Mostly at festivals, and local breweries around California, even at a private show for my buddy's birthday couple months ago.

[@chadvarnell1889]

They would fit in well in Tulsa, OK...

[@damentesch]

Can't tell you how much I enjoyed this, Marty is the best guitar player I've ever seen live no joke.

[@jennystreams2561]

Marty O'Reilly is magic 🙌

[@danielqzhigham2340]

Hi Michael, I had the great pleasure of seeing Marty Orielly at cafe#9 in Sheffield England last night. I would have probably never have heard of him if it wasn't for your video so just wanted to say thanks... cheers Dan

[@kenneththomas1062]

My dad's best friend was a guy named Paul Justice who played fiddle for Mel Tillis & I remember the 1st time he was by our house and plugged in a fiddle & it was near evil. I was about 10 yrs old & loved it. It was 1 of the things that made hunt the nastiest Blues & Rock I could find.

[@johnaltman4396]

This is the best gift you've ever given me. I saw O'Reilly last week at a solo acoustic show at a small club in Decatur Ga called Eddie's Attic, and it was one of the best shows I've seen in years. Thank you, Michael!

[@foranaffairs]

I’ve never heard anything like this. Blown away

[@therogue55]

One of my all time favourite bands for sure!

[@Deekster246]

Those boys play and sing with such a passion and feel every note and vibe. Caught them in the UK a few years back and have been shouting their names from the rooftops ever since. Sadly I believe they've split - in part at least, but in whatever form they appear, even solo, believe me they'll be worth seeing. Loved your enthusiasm in your discovery for them too. Thanks for sharing

[@RobertLandrum13]

I just love how much you love music.

[@madpoe317]

Please analyze another one of their tracks. This was so excellent!

[@kain50144]

Crazy seeing the guy that used to busk in your hometown and hang out at the coffee shop show up here. Nice one, Marty.

[@foranaffairs]

The standup base adds more than you’d think. Unreal all of it

[@ManadaCan]

Marty is one of the best dudes I know and and amazing musician. Glad you enjoy. 🤘🏻

[@moon_child_farm]

I’m still swaying from this. Holy cow…….This has so many things that are right up my alley and yet i have never heard of these folks before. This is firmly planted in my ears for days to come. Thanks you Willis and thank you Michael as always. Cheers people!

[@nipperdog7777]

Totally. I used to let Napsters algorithm pick new bands. Now I just come here. This is a great band (another one).

[@moon_child_farm]

@@nipperdog7777 Another one indeed. I find myself saying that quite often here. So grateful to be part of this community.

[@DamnJayyYouGoinCrayzee_94]

Sick shirt, I work at Spacex building 2nd stage engines so it’s cool to see that you’re rocking it now I gotta get one of your shirts to pay back the support!

[@wandalee9885]

The violin is everything!! O’Reilly’s voice and that swampy, bluesy, New Orleans sound has undertones of Tab Benoit. If you haven’t listened to him check out Darkness or Midnight and Lonesome.

[@foranaffairs]

This may be the best bit of music I’ve ever heard

[@taulpall8247]

had the privilege of jamming with him about 15 years ago, I've been a fan ever since.. I knew he was something otherworldly.

[@bruceondek9817]

@Guitargate and any of your viewers in the DC/Balt area @martyoreillymusic is performing at Hank Dietle's Tavern in Rockville, MD this Wed, Nov 8. I found Marty's music just before lockdown in 2020 and was immediately hooked. Can't wait to finally see him perform live. Love your channel brother!

[@mattgee4867]

Man, that fiddle player is fantastic

[@foranaffairs]

What a cool song. That fiddle is deadly

[@wmwalkerco]

Oh man! This has the Tom Waits vibe for sure and I can see comparing his vocals to Zach Bryan, but all I can hear is that Andrew Bird feel coming from the vio-fiddle. It also reminds me of older Cary Ann Hearst stuff before her and Michael became Shovels and Rope. Really stoked to do a deep dive on these guys! Cheers!

[@hyndman]

I think Amanda Shires said “it's a violin when you're selling it and a fiddle when you're buying it” 😂

[@dogsmartwithmegan]

I always love your energy and your happiness watching the music and wanting to teach all the ins and outs. Still trying to understand half of what you say given my small knowledge, but i'll get there one day!

[@lcestuff2998]

What a song!

[@Eric17798]

I’m a ski bum in Montana and I love it! Also love your reactions, I would love to see you do some more Zach Bryan songs like dawns or Oklahoma City

[@Not_Harvard]

Gotta love those guitar players who made a deal at a crossroads.

[@gracestokes3288]

Whoa….. nice and sweaty….edgy raw. Love this! and that bass coming in at the end..

[@DianeLee999]

Swampy it truly is! Any slower and they’d lose me, but the fiddle swoops in and rescues the groove just on time. As far as the lyrics, this is as steamy as it is swampy. He’s been staring at the captain’s daughter since she came aboard, and she’s letting him look from a distance…and he’s been staring at her thighs, (repeat) etc.

[@LichenAndMoss]

Big fan of your videos and a big fan of Marty OReilly's. Nice to see you picked him for a video!

[@tjphelps6489]

Absolutely beautiful song

[@supasoulproductions]

If you handed the world's most expensive Stradivarius to Charlie Daniels to play 'Devil Went Down to Georgia', it would then be a Stradivarius fiddle.

[@bobkmac]

Singers vibe almost makes me think of Colter Wall more than Zach Ryan. A fiddle playing violin music in a fiddle type song... amazing.

[@SamNitzberg]

These guys played DelFest a few years ago and I was hooked

[@mattrutschmann6871]

YESS!! Saw Marty solo in Rochester great performer/poet!

[@mrkiirvastimviing4577]

Thaaaank you soooooooooo MUCH I was just looking at your videos one by one and then this one suddenly spawned aaaaaand YEAHYEAH oh my yupyup yes go for it Music is just saving my life dammit

[@Will-of-all-trades]

This is something special!

[@paulbolton8699]

Great track. Hair on the back of my neck up! Love it.

[@paulbolton8699]

How does that work then?

[@MrFloatagoat]

Phew except Marty has been doing this since Zach Bryan was in high school... You got it the wrong way! Marty, Chris and co. Are absolute masters of their craft. Been seeing these guys for 10-12 years now. Amazing songwriters, performers and storytellers. Glad you got turned into them, keep digging my friend, you will not be disappointed!

[@ronshaw76]

Does anyone have a stand alone link to this performance? Wowzers!…it’s incredible and I wanna jam on it straight through, but can’t find it anywhere. Thanks Michael for another incredible lesson!!

[@SpadeandArcherBlues]

This gives me real CW Stoneking vibes, so good!

[@austenmontero]

Love Marty. I saw him years ago at tiny bar in Humboldt, appropriately called Humbrews. Really blew the top off the place, and gained a boatload of new fans that night. My buddy worked at the bar, but was off that night so we were there drinking and enjoying the scene. After a while we noticed that Marty has a giant head. Like way bigger that one would expect, but it's not totally disproportioned, as the dude is a brick shithouse. We're standing there, and his coworker walks up and goes "Oh my god, it's Marty Bighead...I went to elementary school with him!" and then she walked away. Anyway, nice guy, big head, bigger voice. Hope he continues to see great successes!

[@MarcelVincent]

i love tom waits.... i play and sing new coat of paint on acoustic alot

[@13magic74]

i can't believe you haven't reviewed Marty before. Oh My....... one of the best out there.

[@allensmith8905]

if there was gypsy jazz then this is gypsy blues!!!

[@TheeBizzyB]

It’s giving Villain vibes and I love it

[@_thewarriorpoet]

wanna see a crazy jam? The song Sweet thing from keith urban when he played with john mayer. If you liked Till Summer Comes Around, you will love that one!

[@brettblythe9994]

This is great!! Reminds me a little of Javi Garcia

[@elijahnay-rhodes8267]

This dude sounds like Colter Wall brought up an octave 😂😂

[@PballPain24]

Hey Michael, My Morning Jacket - one big holiday (live at bonaroo) one of the great jam bands of this generation and up this with Tedeschi trucks for live performances. Give it a try even tho i know you might not see this.

[@bearstokesful]

Captain's Daughter... got some SERIOUS ebb and flow, like the captain's boat on the water.... like his daughter's sachè that lured me in... like the captain contemplating my murder.... lol

[@WharfRat4]

It's a fiddle when you're buying it, and a violin when you're selling it.

[@JNathanielBerke]

I feel like I need like two showers after listening to this

[@velotik6633]

A violin has strings, a fiddle has strangs

[@niallmaclennan7433]

I genuinely think the only difference between a fiddle / violin is the genre it's playing. Only other example I can think of is - Harp and Clarsach

[@stevestackhouse1396]

A fiddle gets more beer spilled on it

[@TheStreamTeam-USA]

Violins have strings and fiddles have straaaaangs.

[@neiltyra3360]

Two things happening here: space ... so much so that he has the word printed on his shirt.😀

[@pepesbesfren3779]

(comic book guy's voice) Best...description of a sound.......ever. Also, bands to listen to whilst ⛷️ include, but are not limited to, R.H.C.P, M.O.P., and Scat-Man John. Dont listen to Fleetwood Mac...... You're welcome.

[@crabbman]

Violins have strings. Fiddles, have strangs.

[@jbcccz]

Violin = fiddle. Same instrument. The differences are all in the musician's fingers, heart and soul.

[@jalenwilkie8698]

Michael is the Kakashi hatake of the guitar.

[@luciusharter4525]

you should react to what you’re after by The Righteous & few they are a fairly new band and are criminally underrated they are a metalcore/hardcore band from chicago and are incredible i highly recommend everyone to check them out i also recommend listening to their song wasting away

[@jonsurman9365]

Can you react to 'Ren - Violets Tale' you've heard him before in The Big Push but his solo stuff is even better!

[@seanmchugh4323]

Channel is amazing....Love the hat! What's it from?

[@gibbyfinger]

difference? how its played? fiddle is a small violin? i love your videos and your energy! thank you for sharing!

[@dustincarpenter6254]

In the words of Carson peters violin has strings and a fiddle has stranngsss

[@ReigninAmazin17]

Funk Yas Stone music soon?

[@mgano7700]

Need to get into the lyrics...The lyrics are more than a little dark.....just sayin'

[@andrewcollins6300]

Violin has strings; fiddles got strangs.

[@MattKilleen798]

When are you planning on diving into Opeth again?

[@hussaf1]

Have a modicum of respect for the musician

[@MrNiccholas]

A violin has strings, while the fiddle has strangs. Lol

[@manyvibes1540]

💜🔥💜

[@zamplify]

The difference between a violin and a fiddle is about $500.

[@danalloyd5709]

A fiddle is a violin played while barefoot.

[@danalloyd5709]

And that fiddle player is the uber talented Chris Lynch. (@lyncheradooda)

[@kevinb5953]

Fiddle is more encompassing. A bass is a bass fiddle. Violin is a type of fiddle.

[@FishFemme]

So, do you have to ask the musician if he’s playing a fiddle or a violin? I mean, if he’s going for ‘strings’ but you’re getting ‘strangs,’ seems like he’d be offended.

[@Windpower08]

What the difference between a fiddle and a violin? A fiddle has a redneck. This was the joke when I was in Luthier School

[@allensmith8905]

The difference between a violin and a fiddle is the same as the difference between a Git-tar and a guitar... get my gruve?

[@williamclark6233]

I'm sure you're already aware, but some spammer/scammer is using your picture and name to bait people who comment on your videos. I reported him a couple times

[@Guitargate]

Oh yeah. Please report them!!

This is literally unlistenable with stopping every 2 seconds
