Jon Bassin - Appalachian Moon

We filmed this video in Ashton, WV on a farm that Jon currently lives and works on. During the short period of time that I have known Jon, he and I have became great friends. He wrote this song about about moving down to West Virginia from Michigan and finding peace in our hills. We plan on releasing more videos of Jon in the near future.

So much great music coming out of Appalachia man

[@TrainTFFT]

One of the great things about technology. It allows pure talent like this be discovered.

[@bobowillyp]

Always been there, I was born n raised with it. The best pickers n singers in the world come out of Appalachia in my opinion. The bad thing is the best ones are commonly too poor to get it out there for anyone outside of the holler to hear it. True story.

[@BaldyDude]

I’ve just discovered it, I love it

[@BaldyDude]

@@TrainTFFT there’s more talent on here than signed artists on the radio

[@b_free]

Always has been.

Dude... That up-strum is PERFECTLY placed. so much subtle power in your instrument and voice. You're incredible.

Just when you think America has lost it's collective mind, you land here.....and realize there's still some "young" good ol' boys left......

Im 30, might be considered young. He moved me to sing and I have a SONG or two to share.

you nailed it buddy

[@TheBH86]

The media wants you to believe we're all different and in a war between our selves, but we're not man.. we feel and know. I've made so many new friends over the imposed "contention". All races of Americans, know what's going on, and the real Ines don't give a damn what color you are, or what you even believe.

[@scottstidham1483]

Amen to that!!!

[@lrn_news9171]

Some of these big rock n roll and country artists from the 40s and 50s were from Appalachia lol

[@hippy8213]

There's more coming out of The Mountains, I see it every day...

[@christianweatherbroadcasting]

Jesus is the only way. We have all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins that may seem small in our eyes are big in God's and are worthy of Hell, such as lying lusting and stealing. But if we repent and trust only in Jesus, he is faithful and will save us from Hell and give us eternal life in Heaven. Trust in Jesus! John 3:16 Romans 6:23❤😊❤❤😊

Can we all take a moment to thank the incredible sound engineer at Radio WV!!! Amazing work!

[@bobrowning3128]

Sure as HELL wasn't expecting that voice....

[@paulgrokopf9570]

I am but a boy, though I own a heart as old as coal. Searching for something in the forests where I stroll. I am out here, cause I got nowhere to go.. The open air, and the trees are known to soothe the poorest soul. I run and hide to sleep under an Appalachian Moon; pistol by my side I got nothing left to lose. Left my heart in the city, for you but you killed it, when you wouldn't say 'I Do'. You better love me, 'else I'll be leaving soon. You better love me, before I leave you with this tune. You better love me, cause I won't be back again. & I know you won't find a better rogue & ramblin' man. I am the gentle warmth of the Sun's morning gleam; I am the cool comfort of a cold mountain stream; I am the Wolf's eye, in the dead of the night; I am the tip of the arrow in mid-flight. Where do I roam? Nobody knows. She don't care so I'm getting close. I'll keep walking these hills... Ain't got nowhere else to go.

[@TenWilder0]

Best original song I've heard in quite awhile... I love the low tuning.

[@cryptonator1988]

Was gunna say the samething its colter wall style voice with tyler childers style guitar tuning and you get this guy..

[@mikebastiat]

@@cryptonator1988 Sounds better than that fake ass low "Colter Wall" voice. His voice is cringy.

[@joshuagoudie2849]

You know what tuning he's in ?

[@thomaswalz3515]

Same here... I'm a huge fan of Americana music... and it is so great to hear bright, new, young talent. I'm old... 70... but persue new music with as much passion as I did as a young man... The algorithms found us. I'm coming across others... delighted. BTW, I am a working musician... and have been for 50 years. I'll play till I drop.

[@alfredbrewersr.2358]

Most Appalachian people aren't looking for fame

[@tracycatt]

Call me impressed and proud to be from the Appalachian foothills.

[@CaneloIsAGinger]

Hell yeah my guy!!! Bringing country back

[@ronshaw76]

Maaannn this is good! Between him and Colter Wall, Tyler Childress I cant keep my hands off my guitar! And the writing, such real deal stuff from the lyrics to that 2 or 3 bar rest. This cat has got IT.

[@therealdeal-uh4zh]

That long note at 2:08 sounded like the Bon Jovi strained vocal. I think he's done a great job on this! As a West Virginia native, this is what I like to call root-bearing Americana.

[@radiowv]

Jon is one of the most kind hearted and humble individuals I have ever met, and yes , not only does he have a gift but he has soul

[@therealdeal-uh4zh]

That's one other thing that I noticed in this video. You can see the emotions and the lyrics almost come to life in his voice. He also plays the guitar emotionally too, and I think that's amazing.

[@Klavieralter]

This kind of country music is a grizzled outdoorsman, bearded, fishing in the woods compared to the majority of eyebrow-tweezed, manicured, manufactured, mass-produced 'country' of today.

[@ennuiii]

Because this style of music technically predates county by like 80 years, this is closer to a style of music called Appalachian Folk

[@SugarMilkbro]

This boy has a voice like a wolf howlin'. Hits me with the chills just the same

[@amazeandsparkle]

This is what music is missing today-great talent like this!

[@eldenrivas7842]

This video went from 7k views in the beginning of the year to 152k. I'm glad he's finally getting the recognition he deserves and he WILL blow up soon.

[@DarrenOrson]

If Nashville would take its head out of its ass, you'd be playing the Opry and topping country charts right now.

[@socar2say]

Colter Wall & Jon Bassin have given me hope for country music (which i've sworn off of as death by pop music long ago).
