Letter in the Mail Tim O'Brien

Tim O'Brien - Letter in the Mail - Transatlantic Sessions, Series 6

[@MrAuell]

How can you not love Tim O'Brien? One of the most talented guys in the business. He can fiddle while singing three part harmony, playing the mandolin, mandocello and the guitar, all at once. Well almost. He can play and sing anything. Always great in concert. and he's a genuinely nice guy who doesn't give you the "star treatment". Great guy.

[@patressakearns4290]

I agree, Mando Grizz. Tim O'Brien is at the top of my favorite musician list. He's been around a long time and he seems to work CONSTANTLY. I catch him in concert every chance I get and I have every. Single. One. Of. His. CDs. Superlative!

[@colerainfan1143]

You still miss ‘em, ya know? Yeah, we do. Thanks so much for what you do, Tim.

[@raymondthorkildsen9619]

he's not afraid to show some emotions , without being sentimental - that's a bonus - love his music ...

[@seangrexa4707]

Tim has been a long time top talent in my book. Fantastic mandolin player, singer, fiddler, zouk, guitar....did I miss anything? Oh yeah, met him a few times and humble and funny too!

[@davesiler4064]

Tim is another Doc Watson, a Norman Blake, another Earl Scruggs, another Dan Crary, in other words, the very best!

[@Rick--A-F]

This is just lovely.

[@trondaustrheim9748]

The melody,the voice,the band,the background..can you ask for more?

[@bobamysdad]

Been moving stuff around - came across an old birthday card from my daughter Amy. I would crawl over broken glass to clean Tim O'Brian's shoes with my best T-shirt.

[@MrMusicguyma]

Tim is a wonder, I was once at a Fiddle workshop where the great cajun fiddler Michael Doucet was teaching, and spied Tim in the audience. Thereafter, for each point Michael made, he would ask good-naturedly, "is that right,Tim?" Affection and respect is what Tim engenders.

[@CBinID]

He just keeps producing the best songs.

[@CalumMacNeil-qb6wp]

Great easy listening music. A far cry from today's mad world 🏕🏖🏜🏝🏞

[@MrPHart]

Nice looking/sounding Irish Bouzouki, I would enjoy hearing more people showing their hand on a bouzouki.

[@priscillanewton6216]

I love this song! It makes me feel OK.

[@rheaavey3060]

Stumbled on this by accidentally but this is a great discovery. :)

[@joezeke6107]

I did, too, Rhea. Wonderful song and sentiment. Real special, because I lost my own dad in '72 and I still miss him.

[@philwragg9756]

I got your letter in the mail Throwin' off my sense of scale I felt you touch my heart today But the postmark says you’re far away Across the fields and desserts wide The mountains in the western sky Out where the sun sets on the sea So very far away from me Shadows fall upon my hand Movin' west across the land You’re only half way through your day When I put my dinner dish away As lonely as I’ve ever been I long to hear your voice again So I called you just to let you know I miss you and I love you so The farther I go down the track The more time I spend lookin back I wander through my memories More precious now than gold to me I close my eyes and I recall When I was young and you were small You know I miss those times back then But today you brought them back again I got your letter in the mail Throwin off my sense of scale It made me happy it made me sad To read those words “I love you dad

[@lowellcalavera6045]

Thank god you were here. Tim's singing is nearly unintelligible.

[@vickiventura943]

Very touching!

[@Wayfarer8]

Very athmospheric! And a perfect view outside the window :-)

[@GregariousAntithesis]

Love me some Tim O, looking a little like the red headed step child with the beard :)

[@PeitouBob]

...I have to thank Tim for writing 'Brother Wind'. It was about my life. I didn't know he knew me....
