John Moreland - Love Is Not An Answer - Bowery Ballroom 6.7.17

[@rctestasecca]

The man has more talent than 90% of "stars" out there. Magic is in his heart (and voice!)

[@tracytrapp8619]

This guy is amazing

[@Wolf-Law77]

QQQBT yes..... exactly. He has that magic in his heart. And I do wish to listen to him live some day

[@kimhumphrey2476]

its more than talent. its heart. cheers.

[@steveiv9250]

FACT !!! We all only think that true talent, music and the soul of music has all but gone.......Love this guy, also another band called Blackberry Smoke , if you haven’t heard then check em out.

[@paigedominguez3954]

Yes!

[@JimiCeleste]

I was at this show and it was one of the best nights ever. This man is one of the greatest songwriters of our generation. I wish more people knew who he was . . .

[@savylace1197]

im right there with you, im trying to spread the word, everyone i meet i tell them to listen to John Moreland.

[@CalamitousJonathan]

He was singing for me. Because he knew he was going to become the blueberry man, like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the little girl that bloated and turned blue and they had to roll her out of the factory.

[@LukeWigginsMusic]

@@CalamitousJonathan wtf ?

[@MikeHuntNeedsAshave]

Big Bad John!! This dudes bad ass.. barely found found him today on my way home from work. Soon as I got home I immediately poured a drink grabbed a beer and kept on listening. Havent been disappointed once.

[@LukeWigginsMusic]

One of a kind !

[@LilRevmusic]

This guy writes some damn fine tunes! I've spent most of the night scrolling his videos on you tube. What a soulful, honest, authentic voice. I'm in!

[@colbrt]

it's a rabbit hole, isn't it? So many great songs, and so many great versions.

[@heatherhead271]

Wow, jus discovered him last nite, hearin, "you don't care enuf to cry for me"...this dude has real talent! He should b a star!!

[@lucyfer6412]

I just heard of John by searching for new music. Listening and skipping, listening and stopped. Stuck on John for 4 months now. Great voice , great chords , great words. I cant stop.

[@toddwhitekiller8072]

We have so many fabulous talents from Tulsa, John is just an unbelievable songwriter, a voice to express those soul rattling lyrics, come home soon John,

[@smokeemacpot6508]

Coming from a man who is just as big as John, I can tell you that every word he sings about love is 100% real! I wish you the best in everything you do John!! One day my brother people everywhere will accept us as the exceptional people we are!

[@Blueswailer]

Just being obese doesn't make anyone exceptional. Exceptionally likely to die younger of related causes though. John Moreland's skill has nothing to do with his weight, he would blast out some of the best roots rock/folk in the world whether he weighed 120 lbs or 500 lbs. Sincerely, a fat guy who's already lost a 100 lbs.

[@smokeemacpot6508]

@@Blueswailer congrats on your weight loss

[@Blueswailer]

@Joseph Mullikin Thanks man, sorry if my reply sounded rude. Have a good weekend!

[@MagicMarker447]

don't think of people accepting you cause that doesn't mean a damn thing. You need to help yourself though. Nothing good about being overweight. You got to fight that shit as hard as it may be.

[@jeremylilly1054]

I love his music so much! I just found him a few months ago and his music is always on all of my playlists and on repeat. With that being said, I wish he would make an effort to be healthier. That way he could do what he loves longer and we can listen to his great music longer. I accept him and have nothing wrong with him, I just love seeing my favorite artists stick around for as long as they can. He is an exceptional artist though and I'm sure you're an exceptional person too

[@davyb1973]

Big man ur amazing greetings and luv from Glasgow in bonnie Scotland ur music touches my broken soul especially ur latest stuff hope u beat whatever demons and poison before you take God's last medicine UV got it in u to help heal ppl and by that u might help urself beat whatever haunts u me personally it's the needle and alcohol I'm praying for you I hope you get the break you so much deserve. Record labels listen...!!..peace to u big guy..

[@greeny2460]

great voice and excellent story teller.

[@kennydubman639]

Wow, just discovered this cat, great songwriter! Add him to my faves....Charlie Starr, Will Hoge, Tyler Childers, and Jason Isbell.....git it, John Moreland!

[@bigdaveradio]

You are the first person I have heard mention Charlie Starr in many years. I saw him open for Yes of all things in 1974. It was just him with an electric guitar. He was awesome. Never saw or heard of him since. I did find a vinyl LP of his at a sale.

[@jimhammond6728]

@@bigdaveradio He's talking about Charlie Starr from Blackberry Smoke...dude was born in 1978...

What about matt andrson ? He's awesome too 👌🤘🤙

I'm glad I found this artist due to Yellowstone!

[@jamescranmer7373]

I love this guy!, he feels the same as I in his music!, so I can definitely feel every word.😎💯✌

[@seanmullin4893]

This guy is more country with his song/story songs made out perfectly more then these pop country do. Is Nashville turning into Hollywood

[@ericshimer6669]

If you have ever been to Nashville yes it is turning into Hollywood. People pack in there like mad. Drug addicts and homeless all over the place. Drive threw there alot. We truck drivers call it Crashville. Even i got hit there. The state trooper fills out a spiral binder for accidents completely full in just a weeks time. Sad fact. Place has lost its soul. Everyone building in around it. Not much for parking anymore at Grand Ol Opry. Still alot of places worth seeing but price of admission is outrageous to the shows. Branson has gotten that way as well.

[@nicholasrourke3836]

Another great one as usual john

[@tylormorey1506]

A heart of gold delighted I came across this

[@danielhampton6834]

I wish he would come to east Tennessee.. he has got it going on

[@joans6047]

@Daniel Hampton ~ John is scheduled to play Bijou Theater in Knoxville on August 23rd. Maybe the world will be semi back to normal then and this show will still go on. Hope I made your day by sharing this news, bud! Take care and be safe out there. 💙

[@danielhampton6834]

Joan S That would be awesome he is amazing..their is a place around my area that is only a hour from Knoxville it’s in the ocoee Tennessee area and is called the bus bar and grill kinda a river rat hippie hangout and he might want to check it out .i think he would fit in with the crowd .

[@doglover31418]

Good performance, but very badly served by the recording. The guitar is way too loud and his voice needs to be lifted above it.

[@charlottefranklin3993]

And... wish he wasn't married...

[@brandonkohlmeier2382]

I wish he would lose some weight. :(

[@markferrari8955]

John perhaps you should visit countries where little children don’t have enough food and turn your awesome talent to to writing music that might just help alleviate their pain by bringing a greater awareness to their problem, and the same time help you with your own problems. I think I get that your music seems to resonate with self absorbed Americans it’s just that I think your capable of so much more.

[@richardinman9575]

or you could write your own damn songs...that'd be a hell of a thing. minding your own damn business.

[@markferrari8955]

Richard Inman so you don’t want to and help the guy...ok

[@scvman992000]

It's probably genetic. Lay off the guy...I'm sure he's more than self conscious of his weight.
