Mile 416 - Jeff Daniels, Live

[@wandamundy1759]

I adore this man - as a singer/songwriter/musician, as an amazing actor, as a Human Being . . . as a BRILLIANT story-teller, regardless of the medium. He's running around, unchaperoned, when - really - he should be protected at all costs. Thank you Mr. Daniels for endless hours of story-telling. You are a treasure.

[@katherinebosse5706]

Completely agree. ❤

[@patricklundquist9869]

Just yesterday I discovered for the first time that Jeff Daniels can play guitar. And sing. And write great songs. I am so impressed.

[@Imissthepostoffice]

What a haunting beautiful piece of music. I drive a lot. I heard this song on a radio station. It stopped me in my tracks, so beautifully and respectfully sung. Beautiful song about mile 416.

[@ben_365]

This video came up after I saw Jeff sing a song on Kelly Clarkson. He has such a good voice, and he really knows how to carry a song.

[@Syddybear1]

Same here! Why are we just now knowing this????

[@terrymckenzie8786]

@@Syddybear1most of the best music in the world will not be heard by the general public. It is controlled by the machine which gives you no choice. Listen to PBS or local community stations. You know. The communist stations. 😂

[@terrymckenzie8786]

Me too. Most of these comments are in the last few days. This video was made at least 13 years ago. It’s amazing the right coverage and publicity. 👍

To be honest I just recently found out that Jeff Daniels was a musical talent. Thoroughly enjoyable! Thanks

[@Syddybear1]

SAME!!!

[@dawgsfanatic1319]

Don’t know how I missed this talent. What a storyteller….heck of a job on the acoustic as well! 👏🏼

[@terrymckenzie8786]

There are hundreds and hundreds of great song writers across the country. Still playing coffee houses to 200 people. They should be playing bigger venues but not promoted by the BIZ.

[@MarkNewberry-n2f]

This is not an actor who can sing and write music. This is a gifted musician who can also act.

[@honkytrousers]

He said it himself, if acting didn’t work out, I’ll make a career being a singer songwriter

[@terrymckenzie8786]

They set you up with funny stories…just before they sing the saddest songs

[@singingthebluestv]

Wow found this and his love song about his guitar (when my fingers find your strings) and i need to find the other 448 songs.. simply gorgeous!!

[@michaelsolomon6502]

Me too

[@robmoore7708]

I've liked this guy as an actor and now I've found that he's a great singer/songwriter too. Nice one Jeff.

[@theautopilotsong]

Holy cow!. I'm 70 years old. Never new this guy could play, sing and write songs this well. Incredible talent. His music is as good as ANY musician. 👏

[@darrelltomlin7986]

He's just blowing me away

[@superdow]

Perhaps my favorite to....simple melody and lyrics with powerful emotional impact

[@bryantcochran5065]

Jeff is like a reverse Willie Nelson, a great actor that is also a great musician and song writer.

[@roberttaylor4175]

Just an amazing song for a million reasons.......Thank you Jeff for being Jeff Daniels

[@glennkimsey3957]

He's got a genuine tone that draws you in. Incredible

[@tenkins]

This is beautiful, I saw him live tonight in Grand Ledge. He ended with this.

[@richardmorrison1467]

What a wonderful, talented and thoughtful person, amazing performance! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@wendibernhardt9190]

Did not realize this guy was such a great singer and guitar player live listening to him

[@champnessjack1154]

Beautiful song, compelling music despite its simplicity, great lyrics. His sense of timing is perfect, even down to the jokes. I'm a singer songwriter and I'm learning this one to learn from a master. It must be tempting to speed up, but he doesn't. I wish he were giving concerts still.

[@divineheretic82]

Just think, if she’d rode back with him, (or he didn’t have the RV) we wouldn’t have this beautifully somber song.

[@juliekadams]

Jeff is playing live tonight for free on Facebook, live: kzbin.info?fbclid=IwAR1K2MK5R81pKezxAkvvYuZuicDuSMW_2hHwQ7kH7CjOzcdCRqM6geIj2SQ

This song broke my heart 💔and will forever live in my soul. 😭

[@robinqm]

It plays in my head everyday ever since I heard it

[@Imissthepostoffice]

I travel a lot. I first heard this song on pubic radio. I had to pull over so I could cry.

[@terrymckenzie8786]

Public radio is so important. Don’t let governments shut it down.

[@corney479]

I have just discovered this, nothing but respect Jeff! Something about listening to a 416 purr across the prairies.

[@terrymckenzie8786]

To write a song about just a thought you see riding down a highway. A story to be told. How many souls lost. I will think of this song every time I see a cross or flowers at the side of the road. Support live music

[@sharonmassetti265]

450 songs to his credit. Bravo Jeff

[@davejackson9651]

Over the years, I've followed this man's "acting" journey..with admiration for his spirit and sincerity. He is truly a "Woody Guthrie"...a storyteller of the first order. Respect!

[@tomlanore4283]

I learned today on a Kelly Clarcstin show that Jeff Daniel sang and played guitar. He sang a song he wrote Bout his guitar friend. I was blown away how good he can sing. Now I got to hear him sing another great song and really enjoyed hearing it as much as the other. If he had or has a recording contract it's news to me. If he hasn't then that is so wrong people are missing out.

[@timthompson8297]

I think a lot of us saw him play for the first time on Kelly’s show.

This is a great song and super relatable. Everyone knows someone whos passed in a roadway accident. And I know Ive seen many random crosses on the road that made me think. I still remember a toddlers bike painted white with flowers on it.

[@jeffreese4194]

Great song and arrangement. He doesn't need a band

[@murielle126]

I just recently found out he sings (on the Kelly Clarkson Show... thank you Kelly!) and now i can't get enough of his singing. I have always loved him as an actor and now there is just more to admire!

[@aguonjohn]

Very thoughtful journey; a place where we've all been. Mile 416.

[@themcds6]

Wow, this is amazing! I saw him sing last night on The Newsroom...I looked for him today not knowing what I'd find...I NEED to see him in concert!

[@aguonjohn]

Rare moment... To capture the spirit of a man's heart. Jam on Jeff.

[@tomlabruzzo8474]

That was awesome... I've driven across the country alone a couple of times, no radio, just my thoughts and I. I can't wait to do it again

[@stevewoan6]

Very well played and sung!

I never knew he was an actor ! ( I never watched TV much, was never that interested in it). When I first heard this song on the radio one day (while driving in my job), I knew he was gifted.

Great song, when I was a kid growing up in Montana, someone would put a cross or crosses wherever someone got killed on the highway mostly 2 lanes back then. Dint think they do that much anymore, not a good look.

You are not just a actor enitainer or singer but atruck driver to

[@Imissthepostoffice]

I think that it was good that his unreliable friend, Kathleen, didn't drive back with him. She would have been a useless distraction. Out of his wise traveling alone I believe came the wisdom and the writing this most beautiful song.
