Sierra Ferrell | "Me and Bobby McGee" | The Warfield S.F. | 03/08/2024

Yet another beautiful cover by an AMAZING musician. Great job Sierra!
Props to one of the best songwriters of all time Kris Krisoferson. One of countless/timeless songs he created.

[@stevew3421]

I was in attendance standing down low. The energy was electric. This was a sizeable chunk of real estate to preform to. Standing O. On her way off stage she took time to talk with a 5 year old girl with pen in hand who wanted an autograph. Thought I would mention. It was very sweet.

She's a straight up angel! ❤

[@bradleydewey9083]

She is definitely old school with fans - just like the country greats she admires.

[@cosmic_drifter_007]

Awe ❤

[@kdilli6426]

Can I ask what songs she did for her encore?? Hoping for I Can Drive you Crazy.. Seeing her next month, can't wait.

[@ryankc3631]

When I saw, "Sierra Ferrell "Me and Bobby McGee", I laughed to myself and thought, she's got this.

[@bradleydewey9083]

Best cover artist in the game...best songwriter and voice in a generation. And she dresses any damn way she feels like. Pure mojo.

[@DaDansinBear]

I love the way she’s dressed. No doubt she has confidence.

[@TwoCoffinsForSleep]

Fuck yeah.

[@CorneiliusLibowitz]

Billy Strings does some awesome covers, as does Molly Tuttle... Seen 'em all and they're all excellent performers...

[@alan4sure]

Very mediocre compared to Janis and Pink, sad to say.

Keep Sierra Weird !

[@yveshuot4286]

Love the way she digs into a song and works the hell out of it.

[@kurtzwar729]

Kris got it down right. I saw Janis Joplin sing this in 1969 at Winterland in San Francisco. Sierra gave great credit to both artists. Beautiful, moving performance. Thanks Sierra.

[@richardwarren449]

She wails like Janis and has an even better voice!

[@ericbackderf5584]

Kris wrote this song. Yes, he got it write 😂. Sierra is a great performer, too. I prefer her renditions of traditional mountain music, but it is nice that she brings this song to life for a new generation

[@rosehannah4845]

@@richardwarren449 She did sing it better. I'm amazed.

[@lukefish7562]

She is simply amazing. She does nothing badly and this one is perfect for her. Thanks for sharing!

[@someguy4505]

Best female country vocalist touring right now, and her backing band is all amazing musicians. Go see her live!

[@RJS1974]

I’d classify her as blue grass alt.

[@JLL1121]

I have heard so many people cover this song and this is by far the best! ❤ omg I love her 😍

[@officiallyjuan7047]

Ol Oliver got down on that solo!! I cant wait to see this live, they did this song justice

What I'd give for an entire album of covers from this woman

Yep.

[@martysliwicki580]

We are seeing a new star on the rise

[@Invictus13666]

Some of us have been watching this star for years.

[@RJS1974]

Unfortunately she’s probably too old to catch fire. She’s 35 but if she had been doing this including the look at 25 she would have absolutely broken out. I also think she would have been big in the 90s when alternative and blue grass were at peak popularity.

[@Invictus13666]

@@RJS1974 She was.

[@billybob-dz6tu]

This song is a gem performed by a stunning Jewel! Christ ... Ferrel is good!

[@TheInfiniteMelodicExperience]

Not over sung and true to the original vibe. Class act.

[@kevinallen6509]

She nailed it.

[@steve8pi]

Great cover! I'm glad to see her getting back to more costumes and crowns like she used to wear. And Oliver Bates Craven was excellent on the guitar!

[@sculluhlakoo]

This vid is gaining 1000 views a day, only out 4 days. I was also there, and hell yeah felt the goosebumps at the relevance of the moment - the next rising supernova star honoring another great in her own stomping grounds. Someone mentioned this is this generation's Amy Winehouse. I would have to agree, but Sierra delivers way more earnest, open humanity. And I love Amy Winehouse. But yeah, only comes along once a decade, if that. I hope Sierra reaches a lot of hearts! We need it!

Me too! I saw her twice and got to talk with her both times. She's a sweetheart.

[@CorneiliusLibowitz]

Me too. I was at that Lincoln Hall show in Chicago...pretty awesome... And Jaime Wyatt was the opener and she ain't too shabby either... Just heard her on E-town and she sounded excellent.

She's rad. I think many who weren't country fans before have found her and totally dig what she does.

[@johnmurray2214]

Not “country “ anymore Just noise.

[@elelmore8662]

I have! Saw her at a festival a couple of years ago and was absolutely captivated! I grew up on the land of country music but it's not my thing (I like a couple of singers, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, etc, but don't really listen) In fact I didn't know Sierra sang country when I went to see her set. Someone just said she was worth hearing so I went. So glad I did! I don't understand why she's not the biggest star in country right now! But that's OK. I love her and can't get enough. I recently bought a ticket for s festival just to hear her (I did stay to hear Charley Crockett, also amazing!!) Give me more!! More more!!

[@rosehannah4845]

I never liked country before.

[@johnarchluleta]

I love her voice, but damn if she isn’t just so pretty too

[@CorneiliusLibowitz]

I would agree, but the face tat, nose ring, lip piercings, and worst of all, the mutilated eye tooth, doesn't do her any favors....

Better than I expected. Brave to cover this when you have Joplin herself and vocalists like Leeann Rhymes to compare to. Sierra Hull is like the vocal version of a session guitarist- she’ll pull of anything without being “bad” and do well most of the time.
