Jason Dea West - We Had To Try | Crabtree Sessions

[@viracocha03]

Jason and Benjamin Todd are 2 of my favorite musicians and the funny thing is that their genre of music has never really been something I enjoyed but those 2 artists have such real and raw talent. Phenomenal song writers and singers.

[@JwolfeWolfie]

Barefoot surrender then u know why

[@KenneyCmusic]

It’s the kind of music that you enjoy more if you identify with it

[@HxghPxnda]

First time hearing Jason but Benjamin Todd definitely has pulled some heart strings

[@Hu1ud]

ever gave tallest man on earth a listen? check out where do my bluebird fly by him

[@TheGritherr]

Wow, thanks KZbin and fantastic lyrics. Loved it.

[@matthew6427]

One of the artists that come to mind when I hear people say, "There's no good music coming out these days.". I hope to see him play someday because he is one of my favorite players ✌️

[@wilburkookmeyer5804]

Yup...me too!🤙

[@josephwhen363]

Do u happen to live in Oregon

[@matthew6427]

@@josephwhen363 No, I'm in the Midwest

[@amandabrooke554]

You’re amazing. I’ve been following your music for a couple years and it never lets me down. Makes me feel many emotions. We appreciate you!

[@jonathanfraser8313]

Just stumbled across this little ditty, and my day just got a whole bunch better from it. Beautifully done sir.

[@menorabbit]

I've had lots of old songs somehow surface up on my KZbin lately at exactly the time I needed them to. This is a new song, but I definitely needed this one as well. Not sure what a good comment would be. I'm leaving this one just hoping that it helps reach more people. Good song- thank you for uploading.

[@doot7725]

Been cursed and blessed to ramble for years myself and don't see any end in sight. It's been pretty great discovering JDW and his other bands and having some modern ramblin tunes to go with the old folk songs. If he ever does a show wherever I happen to be, I'll have to go check it out.

[@joshuatillman2892]

Amazing song. What a story

[@eternalbeing3339]

Man, what an amazing song. Has been on repeat. It hits the soul. Somehow this has 31k views, should have more than a million.

[@tinymouse_e]

[@MichaelHampton-uk4ge]

[@GoodnessSake]

[@MattStrom]

Its amazing how @JasonODeaWest will transform my mind to another time. Thank you Jason for the great music as always.

[@wheninroamful]

Love Dea, he just keeps getting better and more refined.

[@ollyolsen697]

Ah, so good, what a treat. 🤙🤙

[@jr2503]

Great song writing Jason and picking. Emphasis on the song writing. Just incredible, poignant, lonesome, continuity. Coupled with the charming melody the song pushes you to emphasize with a wanderer. Just found you, you're going to blow up not a single doubt in my mind.

[@JaredStrayer]

I love the song...so good

[@TheMaygreed]

Man, amazing.. that's what people need today

[@Free_Bird420]

I really like hearing a fresh song just after it's finished, thanks for sharing.

[@mreichard838]

I always find a song by Jason at the right time. This one was perfect.

Thought the thumbnail was a new movie trailer for Hugo Weaving. Was surprised that it was actually a folk music video! 😂 Song was great! Happiest accident I've had this month.

[@Poppeton]

I did the same!! In my heart Elrond sings folk and no one can tell me otherwise ☺️✨️

[@jimmygillespie5580]

Great song!

[@WelkeOlaf]

The crab tree I'm a cancer!! I love your work

[@tuckyjelly]

I think I remember that fellow from Applegate valley in Oregon ...

[@RonaldDelby]

Hey there. I am a folk singer. I was so inspired by your music that I wrote 2 new songs, one is called "The Wind" and the other is called October Wind Ron Delby. They are also on you tube. Love the picking and singing.I would love to meet you someday. Im down in Virginia

We Had To Try - Jason Dea West Old lost highway, you call my name. Not afraid of the snow and rain, staying here I just can't breathe. Old lost highway, you call my name. I've been on this rambling spree, I don't own no land, no land owns me. The trainyard's cold, but the ride is free. And when I'm gone, honey let me be. I've got lovers near and far, and I won't tell you who they are. Tomorrow morning we're going to Maine few more days, I'm back on that train. The southwest came for everyone, you can burn to death in the desert sun. The snow is falling up in Vermont, kiss me again before I'm gone. Cuz when I'm gone, I'm long gone, long gone. I'm bound to face this world alone, I miss your smile and your mountain home. Sit me down in your sky-high throne, tell me not to go back on my own. The snow is falling right outside, you're baking Jean some apple pie. Soon it'll be time to to say "goodbye" We both know we had to try. It's back to the land of the sun, stay at home and clean your guns. Soon I will be gone again, kiss me one more time, my friend. Well, west top's called my name, supposed to leave but I wanna stay. Leaving here I just can't breathe, seems the joy out weighed the pain. What seems a joy outweighed the pain.

[@irvinmaddox5274]

"O'Dea" is the man. How can I pay you back good sir???!!

[@mrdoodiehead1642]

Practice random acts of kindness and senseless beauty. - to strangers and in secret! 😉

[@DanielJackson-vf5ft]

Play it brotha play it

[@firefighter2699]

Never gonna understand how Jason Dea West and Lost Dog Street Band and Matt Heckler don’t have more listeners.

[@eternalbeing3339]

They are real talent. I don't get it either.

[@Flamefuels]

Damn fine @ 4am out west

[@acceptyourself]

my main squeeze hates how much i love this song

[@kalanyou3275]

Ben n you sound so much alike bet yet are so different

[@dudedude8931]

Wow

[@kylerbrown6858]

🌵🌿

[@JasonMyers-t6k]

Just going to shoot this out there. I would like to hear this guy with Benjamin Todd. That would be epic

[@bryanb8515]

Barefoot surrender

[@Sam-Icy]

That dude looks like he's packing heat

[@derecksmith5825]

Love it but more voice

[@kyliebreann30]

Love hurts

[@geobum]

hard to pin a ramblin boy down but man hard not to think ya should hold gal @3:18 extra tight

[@ThomasPaugh-q3w]

This is all a gimmick... he wears skinny jeans and eats tofu...🤮

[@kyra7428]

I mean... most music is performative. Punks take showers. Most "gangsta" rappers have never shot a gun, killed a cop, or joined a gang. Heavy metal musicians aren't actually serial killers. Bob Dylan sold out to Sony records for $200 million. And so on and so fourth. Don't be a hypocrite.

[@eternalbeing3339]

So do i. Whats the issue? Eating healthy is bad now?
