I haven't stopped listening to this album since it came out. I forgot what it was like to fall in love with someone's music, 'cuz it's been awhile.

[@ilikepizza5741]

Same

[@peterhoare3219]

I'm 59. Never thought there'd be good music ever again. I recommend also checking out 'Royal Blood'. Start with 'Oblivion', then do the rest. I reckon it'll be RIGHT up your alley mate. Gidday from Australia!

[@adamwyatt8773]

Couldn’t agree more. Saw him in Nashville last month and he was great.

[@braattyb]

same. on repeat for me!!

[@jakelannetti3128]

It’s almost hard to describe but he builds a sound within the song you can really relax and settle into as a listener. I really think he’s incredible

[@hippydippy]

I love Kurt! He is the real deal.

[@washannaleggett7981]

Yea this is good music

[@PostmarkedRizzo]

Me too! Glad to see him getting some airtime

[@robotsongs]

He's The Legit Nit

[@christopherhall1742]

I'm way over 65 and I agree.

[@Mauruud]

Kurt Vile, one of my favorite current artist! He really stands out...

[@bozosaurus666]

Album of the year for sure. Been listening to it on repeat, never skipping a track

[@braattyb]

Same!!

[@clumsydad7158]

[@juniorxranger]

I feel immense calm just knowing he's out there

[@bmoneyrancidfan91]

Kirt u deserve the fuckin world ur music helps me alot

[@braattyb]

[@dianaswan7655]

Beautiful song...clean sound,tight band

[@mimicampbell4220]

love kurt vile! amazing musician! super band ! Thanks Stephen and crew!!

[@peterhoare3219]

Just watched it in Australia. Colbert comes on at silly hours Down Under (0146 Friday). I blame planet rotation. 😁

[@joseramirez9580]

Saw him love last month. Sounds so good amazing energy.

[@Lebowski55]

Kurt Vile is so good.

[@sarahcadran8317]

I just ADORE the guitar player, Adam.

[@dynjarren8355]

I feel like I’ve heard this before. In my dream my memory is stored.

[@johndoejoeblowshmoe8676]

First time I heard a song from him thanks Mr colbert. Kurt vile that was way too hard to find for how good this song is

[@daltonlunn1653]

I didn't know this performance happened, just woke up with this song in my head and searched it

[@brianb1733]

Man, I love this album! Can't stop listening to it.

[@stephenmhager]

Beautiful ❤️

[@beganny]

Awesome!

[@Coloradiohead]

Kurt's a chill dude

[@clumsydad7158]

the chillest

[@Oaklandrosie]

Such a vibe. ❤

[@tbh1444]

Holy shit. This is like having never heard Ween, then suddenly discovering them on flipping network TV.

[@bmoneyrancidfan91]

Kirt makes amazing music. All great a prime ,no fat in his music

[@adderon]

Ween was on Late Night with Conan O'Brien

[@scottieray]

I get annoyed at the reviews that say his latest release is the same old KV. This actually quite different. It's really good and such a great album.

[@Lebowski55]

Same old KV is great old KV!

[@dick-gs9tb]

IDK, I feel like it's a return to Wakin' with a touch of Bottle, but it still sounds new to me.

[@adderon]

Overnite KV

[@Juliecoleen]

The best!

[@ShaneScott69]

This is Dave Mustain in a parallel universe going soft doing lou Reed songs

[@travis8947]

Kurt does a great version of How Lucky by John Prine

[@NoMalarkey]

He did it for Colbert too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH7FlI2jmK2Ajbc

[@leavingitblank9363]

That clip is on the LSSC web site. For a few more days, anyway.

[@adderon]

Still there

[@DavioBo]

Loved seeing Kurt at Shaky Knees!

[@WannaDropAgain88]

I like pretty pimpin from Kurt Vile. Such a pure originator. Good music to long board to.

[@laurawatters914]

Got the GRUNGE hair!! Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell, awesome music!! 😊💓🤘✌️

[@leavingitblank9363]

No, that's hippy hair. Suits his style. Grunge is not his thing.

[@laurawatters914]

This is trippy as all fuck! Damn!

Listeh to more of his catalogue. Great driving and cleaning and chillin music

[@clumsydad7158]

hollah hollah

[@priscillahhhh666]

this was amazing, well done!!!

[@SheltonMattison]

Great singing

[@casyatbat]

Wow!!! Real musicians playing real musical instruments like real professional musicians and being unique with their own sound!!

[@danielseliger1123]

Hell yeah

Philly!

[@TurtleTimeVoiceOvers]

I bet Kurt could do an amazing job singing Ramones songs. _🎸_

[@clumsydad7158]

no doubt

[@washannaleggett7981]

Vibes

[@dogbiterabies2547]

very good

[@Rockingruvin]

Groovy.

[@ChrisBoland]

Wish he'd just relax on stage :-) He's the best isn't he.

[@braattyb]

is he not relaxed? lol

[@zacinaustralia]

@@braattyb I believe that was sarcasm

[@braattyb]

@@zacinaustralia ugh good point lol

[@clumsydad7158]

maybe some herb could relax him? (-:

[@Grace-fb7jk]

Haha Kurt Vile isn’t actually all that relaxed. He’a shy in public. Adorably awkward. He’s super picky about his music, guitars, performances as well. Check him out live!

[@wisconsinrecords]

Get it KV

[@Kevinm.9000]

Been arouuund

[@alexdasliebe5391]

Looks like Weird Al, sings like Neil Young. Thanks , Colbert

[@peterhoare3219]

God bless Colbert. I'm a HUGE fan in Australia. Comes on at stupid hours Down Under. Now 0144 on a Friday. I blame the rotation of the stupid planet....

[@hhholsteiners]

@@peterhoare3219 reverse coriollis cherry on top!

[@shadowaccount]

Sounds nothing like Neil

[@lightcapmusic]

man how does he do it...

[@robertrusso877]

Kurt. Is. Kool!

[@TheSchuyler75]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@braattyb]

I love you so f*cking much Kurt.

[@danzigwascool]

fuck. amazing.

[@BoyAditya]

😀 Tom Patty's influence is really thick on this song

[@BlankRegie]

I knew Tom PETTY. He was not only a friend but nearly a neighbor when we were growing up. This dude's no Tom Petty, but his heart's in the right place. Also, cool name.

[@noahgreen1366]

try John Prine

[@arwenrivendale]

Yes very much

[@scottjensen1380]

Destined to be better than Tom Petty. There, I said it.

[@corymiddleton4708]

@@scottjensen1380 Love Kurt, but no.

[@andy.113]

KV! he's the fuckin' man

[@peterhoare3219]

Watching now at 0135 on Fri in Australia! God love Colbert.... Time zone stuff and rotation of the planet is a bit of a shit though...

[@mattbushnell7885]

Nice

[@Bluejay1999ad]

What guitar is Kurt playing here?

[@James-wj8eq]

Japanese made Zen-On (or Zenon) single pickup circa 1965

[@BlankRegie]

Hmm seems Neil Young and J Mascis have a secret love child...

[@hhholsteiners]

Perfectly stated!

[@brianlong9100]

Spot on! … and whose godparent is Dave Berman

[@rolandosarabia810]

I was thinking Neil Young and Mark Knopfler hahaha

[@hhholsteiners]

@@rolandosarabia810 Uncle Mark by way of gene splicing

[@nickfanzo]

Agreed

[@jeffmccaskill9227]

Musically it reminds me somewhat of via Chicago by wilco

[@catha.j.stuart2200]

Reminds me of his The War On Drugs roots

[@CliftonLee33]

He was one of the founding members, but honestly, I think he has a higher ceiling with the violators than war on drugs has.

[@TheLaurenbentley1]

This album truly is your masterpiece Kurt

[@clumsydad7158]

2 many 2 choose from

[@subtlemanful]

Does anyone know the make of the guitar Kurt is playing?

[@James-wj8eq]

Fender Meteora?

[@subtlemanful]

@@James-wj8eq Those Meteoras are definitely similar looking-very cool guitars. I don’t see a logo on the headstock of this one. Maybe it’s an off-brand or homemade one?

[@James-wj8eq]

@@subtlemanful yes, it might be a custom made guitar...the only one I thought was maybe a Harmony.. Either way, Kurt makes any guitar work for him!

[@subtlemanful]

@@James-wj8eq Definitely!

[@James-wj8eq]

2 years on i found out it's a Japanese guitar Zen-On or Zenon single pickup circa 1965-ish

[@melonhead49]

Stella looks different 😊

[@stevestrickland934]

Early Neil Young vibes

[@calixa]

new album not as good as Wakin', B'lieve and Bottle, but still great. I think those aforementioned 3 will be his holy trilogy as years pass. I can literally never get tired of listening to Kurt Vile.

[@MH-kc8pq]

What about 'Smoke Rings..'!?

[@calixa]

@@MH-kc8pq i love Smoke Ring but I definitely feel like it ended his first era. Starting with Wakin' the songs were just more fleshed out, layered, more produced it wasn't just little young Kurt in a bedroom anymore.

[@vulgardisplay5467]

I miss Tom petty, nice to see his influences, awesome song

[@noahgreen1366]

John Prine, not Tom Petty

[@clumsydad7158]

kurt's too good for tv , but yeah

[@zestymashup7645]

Absolutely love KV but those high notes are rough

[@LawLight56]

Hey at least he's challenging himself, I think he knows it.

[@nunyabiznez666]

Never ceases to amaze me seeing the comments showing love for the mostly new music I figure I would give a try listening to on the late night shows when it's effing garbage 🗑 0_o WTF is this crap? 0_o

[@cynthiajones4332]

Listen Christ's blood, his death on the cross, releases us from the guilt of sin, accepting us as righteous in God's sight Colossians1:20 The cross shows the seriousness of our sin, it also shows God's immeasurable love. There's hope and salvation to all who put their trust in Jesus. Please think about it.

[@dbyrneish]

Why is this good?

Beta of the betas

[@CliftonLee33]

I’m not trying to argue with you bro, but I gotta be honest, Kurt is from a rough neighborhood….. not the roughest, but far farrrrrr from the softest.
