John Fullbright "Fat Man"

[@robertcope2465]

John Fullbright is a National Treasure.

[@dwill6413]

Wow, it is such a breath of fresh air to hear a REAL artist perform. This is what music is supposed to be!

[@mark1952able]

CORRECT!

[@Zilegil]

Cecil Williams Ah shuddup Just because you don't like a kinda music doesn't mean it's wrong It upsets me what I listen to and play ain't necessarily liked by my friends too but there's no reason to be uppity

[@cookbill2000]

WHOAH!!! Where does a 22 year old come up with such lyrics?!! This young man is incredable! I came across him at Sisters Folk Fest this year and was BLOWN AWAY!!

[@chrisknoche3550]

Saw him at Woodyfest in Okemah Oklahoma.

[@cvines6705]

This song is so incredible!

[@pw1630]

Just seen this man tonight at mountain stage concert Bristol, Tn. Very good. very very good. Thank you for sharing your talent. liked it very much.

[@amandahop1971]

I cannot stop listening to this!! This kid is unbelievably talented!!

[@endurer63]

I played with you once, you were a kid, of course you'll always be a kid to me. We were at a winery in Okemah called Grape Ranch. I knew you were special but I never knew how much so. I tell people, I jammed with John Fullbright, Grammy nominee! I wish you all the best, man. Jeff Woodcock

[@Abeltone]

I found this channel last light,I thought I watched the best videos of my life,man I was wrong!! This dude is amazing!!

[@treadchina]

I found him on Music Fog a while back and can't stop listening to "all the Time in the World" now.

[@Casspoweredcucumber]

This man needs to be more famous than he is.

[@RandyStrubleBackingTracks]

This is great music, first time hearin' this dude gotta listen to more!!

[@chibinski4812]

what a fantastic talent!!!

[@lsusantitus7319]

After hearing this 100 times This is my altimeter favorite song in the secular realm genre!

[@SeldimSeen1]

His prose is absolutely brilliant.

[@coffeedrinker13]

This is an incredible song, and performance!!.....Very poetic, and a good melody....I loved it.

[@anitadavideduo]

I met him few hours ago in Italy... cool concert!!

[@potomacflier]

In my dreams I see a fat man On his face is a frown He’s got money in his left hand In his right he’s got strings that run All over town As he pulls on them tightly he chokes all that grows He keeps watch day and nightly and plucks life Like a rose. In my dreams I see the young men That will change history They will die for the fat man As he laughs so carelessly In his laughter I hear the sorrow From the pain that it brings I hear mothers weeping softly Wrapped up tightly In his strings. Cut the strings from his fingers Wrap them twice around his throat Show him not your kind mercy From the laws that he forgot he wrote Let us know of that which binds us That which steals all that grows That which kills what defines us To be plucked Like a rose.

[@shaneyule2749]

Such an awesome talent! Thanks for the music John.

[@mikeb1039]

Man I like John! Gotta see him in person now.

[@scruffystrat]

cross between tom waits and the tallest man on earth! love, love it! great tune man! much peace, love, and happiness...............seh

[@Mjollnir50]

Holy cow, guy's a freakin MONSTER...

[@ArkhonXIX]

This guy is fucking awesome. I JUST saw him two days ago in Cleveland, OH and he is unbelievably talented. Cant wait for more from this guy

[@lancetaylor-music]

I feel Tom Waits oozing through this song. Love John's versatility in his songwriting. His music took all of my attention when I first heard him. I was hooked from the first line of Satan and St. Paul. I can't wait to see what he does with his talent once he has settled into the spotlight. I don't think we've heard the best of John Fullbright quite yet.

[@murphroberts4891]

@Lance Taylor- When I first met John, he was 20 or 21 years old and had already written and released this song. Imagine being that young and writing this kind of depth. Yeah, definitely Tom Waits blood running through his veins. And, no, we've not heard his best. He's still growing.

[@robertcope2465]

Don’t forget Leon Russel’s and Woody Guthrie’s influence on John Fullbright. He is after all an Okie. One of the greatest songwriters of our day IMO.

[@jacquelinedavis7906]

I just heard of this guy tonight, from "Songs My Friends Wrote" from Corb Lund featuring Hayes Carll. He's great! This song reminds me of Tom Waits.

[@philipclaasen1957]

Very tight - a full sound. P from SA

[@sandrapelton462]

All you ppl commenting on something like he musta sold his soul to the devil to be this good (combined with other songs he's written like Satan & St. Paul and Gawd Almighty) are just jealous I guess. Whether you question this young man's political or religious affiliations, he is a true talent that hails from the same small town that spawned another legend in another time ... WOODY GUTHRIE. I don't think there's anything going on here other than he is an AMAZING SINGER/SONGWRITER with God-given talent that will be very famous someday. JOHN FULLBRIGHT YOU ROCK!

[@EileenBeniest]

Magnificent!!!!

[@francinecalo]

brilliant !!

[@bryanhatch6463]

This dude has like the best voice ever! Kinda like Billy Joel meets Stevie Ray Vaughn. This is the first I've heard of him! I'm going straight to I Tunes! I need this in my life! Instant number 1 fan right here!

[@majikslim82]

+Bryan Hatch I think its jeff buckley meets tom waits lol

[@Zilegil]

majikslim82 I guess they're all similar types All great

[@trey85031]

Man I heard this guy in Houston a couple of weeks ago and it was amazing, he sounds better in person (I know that is unbelievable but true) and he has mastered the piano, guitar and harmonica, fantastic concert I highly recommend seeing this guy live

[@pw1630]

@MrAsbestosfish Yes.. I just discovered John Fullbright tonight and liked him very much. VERY MUCH. and seeing this MusicFog for the first time. Checking it out too.

[@chibinski4812]

just read Kelsey Yaos 'comment.' he thoughtfully put the lyrics in for us to read. thank you Kelsey. and thank you John Fullbright---for your amazing imagination and talent!!

[@AndreaBoltWaxingCrescent]

It's January 2018 and this song has never been so relevant.

[@tommyalexandermusic]

this guy is amazing

[@Bamaboompa]

Saw John on Music City Roots tonight. I don't like much "new" music. He's an exception. NICE song.

[@pw1630]

@amandahop1971 yes he is...and this means you have good taste too. I just seen him for the first time this evening. wow...will be looking for more from him Would like to see him again.

[@bridgetscullion6857]

Bravo bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@BoffoYuxDudes]

Very impressive.

[@donnastafford3299]

Love it! Wow

[@hughbo52]

What's left to say? He even left my bare of emotion - yeah he took it all, to my pleasure.

[@77weew]

❤️ it

[@kimelwell9868]

He'll be playing tomorrow night at The Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley! Tickets $12!

[@izzyingram1224]

My mom adores him, She downloaded it on her phone and sings around

[@timmay301]

aint nothin prettier than a bruised ego on a beautiful angel

[@josie449]

Genius!

[@amandahop1971]

He has a Tom Waits vibe

[@chichi6796]

I'm gonna haveta sit down and visually contemplate the lyrics of this one. Right now, all I can think of is something like Jack the Knife. It is somewhat captivating because of Fulbright's style of delivery. Well, I didn't have to go far----the lyrics were in the comments. I am wondering what Fulbright had in mind when composing.

[@ooklathegreat]

kick ass!!!!!

[@peardrop7840]

I love this, anyone know where the sheet music or a tutorial is?

[@Zilegil]

Lila b track down Dixieland piano guides. Dr John used similar musical motions Learn to read chord symbols too Hope that helped

[@rosemaryaloisio7125]

Google it.

[@Sherylyn01]

I love his music! What a talent. I just may go to his show in Ohio next month:)))

[@r4b32t11]

should be world famous ACE

[@mistermojito33]

Looking forward to JF on Cayamo.

[@mark1952able]

Reminds me of certain man running for office of the US presidency.

[@barleycj]

He is good he's got a Dr. John thing going for him.

[@LarryGilmore12]

I know right!

[@davidcarlson1208]

very talented, easy to listen to, K

[@lsusantitus7319]

Guess you didn’t know it but you wrote a song about Howell county Missouri

[@timmay301]

okema!

[@sandrapelton462]

Okemah! Spelling Nazi strikes

[@andrewkling9530]

Somebody please take this song and make a Trump video

[@tracycarmack9714]

In my dreams I see an orange man On his face is a frown He’s got money in his left hand In his right he’s got Republicans All over town As he screams about fake news, and hides all his hoes He's Tweeting day and nightly and Russians Are his bros.

[@acoustiking1]

Except it’s completely opposite with Trump. He may be the 1st POTUS in decades that can’t be bought by special interest groups.

[@Zilegil]

I think it might be about Churchill Genocidal racist. Although they don't teach you that in the books Maybe not but I like to think. Talking about young men who change the world and give their life for the fat man. It adds up

[@rossosbornfamilyfoundation3536]

@@Zilegil It's about all the fat (i e, greedy) men.--- Master's of War Come you masters of war You that build the big guns You that build the death planes You that build all the bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks

[@mitchelljones-bms2671]

Founding member of Turnpike Troubadours, I believe

[@murphroberts4891]

Not.

[@rossosbornfamilyfoundation3536]

Indeed, he performed with Turnpike Troubadours before going solo. I was glad to see the Turnpike Troubadours are performing again. They opened for Red Clay Strays at Red Rock Amphitheater (Colorado) last summer. Great concert..

[@philwade5426]

I like to think this song is about Don Fanucci in The Godfather 2, where a young Vito Corleone "cuts the the strings" on the bad Don.

[@ronronowski5828]

This kind of music sends me into a deep depression.

[@leyzer87]

Great tune, reminds me of Tom Waits.

[@chuckHart70]

Not my style, but holy $&*#&$* great song nonetheless...

[@kieralacy1345]

[@isignheartshawna]

I've been looking for a song to show me sexy. This song does it. :)

[@timmay301]

beautiful. hey he kinda looks like emilio estevez!! or michael douglas in his younger years. or a hamster.. but he's a DAMN good musician.

[@leeskerette1]

Wow. He's quite a talented "old soul." And, I'd love to know what the heck @coosbay1000 meant by his comment -- He makes it sound as if John F. has sold his soul to the devil. 'Care to expound, Mr. or Ms. Coosbay?

[@FreeLantz78]

Pasty white dudes with double chins unite. 🤘 Besides, it's a great tune.

[@mark1952able]

Sounds like a song about Donald Trump~

[@endfeld]

Or any despot in the world …

[@rossosbornfamilyfoundation3536]

@@endfeld Agree. It is oversimplification to assume it's about Donald Trump.

Just another Slim Shady if you know what I mean. Ask Eminem to listen to him, he'll tell you, he'll recognize where this guy got his talent from. It's not worth it!
