'Won't Fence Us In' - Nick Shoulders & the Okay Crawdad *Official Video*

[@st_ebbe]

This guy made me realise I actually love country music.

[@loopthebird8661]

That’s what happens when you remember country has anti establishment roots!

[@SkremoMcThrftsto]

"Embrace the tradition of resisting hierarchy" Hell yeah brother 🤘

[@Stephen_sabia]

"there was a big high wall there that tried to stop me, sign was painted said private property, but on the backside it didn't say nothin, this land was made for you and me" y'all are carrying the torch well and in the right direction, woody would be proud

[@hinglemcgringleberry6618]

truly. and this is also how you cover a song- make it your own. do not make a note for note remake(looking at you, Weezer). Amazing live, these guys. go while they still play small venues

[@sterlingb7075]

​@@hinglemcgringleberry6618is this also a cover?

[@bipper7943]

@@sterlingb7075 along the same lines as dont fence me in by bing cosby

[@barbara1314]

Thank you for the paragraphs at the end of the song. 🙂🌄✝️

[@ThePeteolicious]

I’m FLOORED this dude isn’t more popular. The guy rocks

[@lilfairycupcake]

needs a new public relations person for sure.

[@N8Dulcimer]

Nick, at a time where "rich men north of richmond" is doing such negativity to country music, I am so grateful to have music like yours as a refuge. Thank you for making country music that respects the country.

[@XxBrMagicxX]

I'm very surprised because I thought the venn diagram of fans of this song and those of rich men north of Richmond would pretty much be a circle. They're both anti-establishment, and anti-bootlicker country

[@N8Dulcimer]

@@XxBrMagicxX Rich men is anti establishment??? He takes his jabs at poor people on welfare for not working in the mines with him, even though he obviously has never worked in a coal mine. He admits that the work is terrible and doesnt pay well enough but admonishes others for getting on welfare benefits instead. Meanwhile, the entire industry of coal has RUINED Virginia's land. And you can call it anti bootlicker if that pleases you, but a prominent politician paid to make it go viral. A rich man from DC platformed that song and paid quite a bit of money to turn it into a GOP boomer anthem that got played at rallies and advertised through Rumble and Truth social. xD We dont need country music getting propped up just because it's good at dividing normal people against eachother while the country goes to shit. We need country music that reminds us to love and respect that land instead of guilt tripping you into helping to ruin just so you dont feel like a bum.

[@chrisengel143]

​@XxBrMagicxX you're absolutely right, that guy is a little confused

[@deancosens5710]

Not so much, the other song punches down on other people, this one just punches up - no criticism of any other ordinary people

[@DingDongDaddyFromDumas933]

​@@XxBrMagicxXIf you think this is anything remotely close to that hot trash pile of a song you've gotta reevaluate everything you think country music is.

[@jakebopp6009]

Nick giving off some serious 90's Les Claypool style.

[@michaellugo3454]

I'm a patriot of this nation. I follow only the constitution for law and my morals are seeded by the native and ancient ways. People who understand the true meaning of this message are surely just as knowledgeable and combative as I and we owe it to ourselves to bind our knowledge and spirits because it is We The People that will start the fires of liberation and true freedom from the wickedness of greed and corporate oppression. City dwellers need not apply. "Think for yourself, question authority"

[@kittyheite4904]

Thank you for being so true to our roots.

[@BeHappyByBike]

Thanks for coming to Winnipeg Folk Fest. 🙌 I finally remembered the name of this song to find you.

[@surfgrunge1971]

a BIG yes to everything this song and video. more artists need to advocate for change in this brutal society

[@IanBandeau]

After seeing this live a few times and loving it, I’m ecstatic to see not only a studio version but a fantastic video to accompany it.

[@dougs3274]

Another exemplary presentation of putting the "try" back in country. 😊

[@cass_p]

Here's hoping I can encourage the algorithm to share this widely.

[@DKdrop]

I’m poppin down here for the same reason. This might be the first time I’ve ever commented on a video without anything to say; I just want this to get to more people.

[@christopherstewart6668]

Feet songs have spoken to me so truly. I truly appreciate this song. I can whistle along to the whistle solo👍👍😁

[@combatical7872]

Holy shit, I just realized where I recognize Nick from. I met the band Sean James and the shapeshifters like 10 years ago when they played at some dive in TN. Nick was an awesome dude!

[@desertedislander]

Country never had this much personality

[@Galiuros]

This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson

[@emeraldraiin]

Love the Bob Dyaln nod! Love this!

[@LOVEJITV]

In 2020 I taught the original version to our then 4 yo daughter and we moved to the country. This is awesome❤️🙏 I'd started to totally give up with music :/ much Love and many thanks❤🙏🌈

[@SMarsh05]

and this band is this entertaining in real life, too! luck reunion highlight 2024!

[@ozarkpossum61]

Anytime I hear a mouth bow I think of Nick and company's live shows. If you aint seen one youre missing out

[@vicgru8584]

Just too handsome!!!!! 😢❤❤❤❤

[@rkhale02]

I love this with every bit of my being. I'm tired of being fenced in, of everywhere i want to go being a sick caged version of itself that misses the true beauty of this open world. I hope we get past this societal sickness one day!!

[@nutsackmania]

settle down now

[@EmptyWasabi]

@@nutsackmania stop minimizing now

[@Arem-Music]

The Nevada reference on the fence means so much to me as a Nevadan.

[@JarvisKaigler-kk4lx]

What an dynamic stew of past/present & future. Thanks for the reminder that "we/I" determine our story. Congratz!

[@nikklesmcgrr]

Love you crawdads ❤️ beautiful message in this one

[@giannamiracle47]

Every song is just as good as the last. I love you guys. I can't wait to see you again someday. Thanks for being awesome.

[@jacobstratton1140]

When he drops the pick 😂. Great song and great video

[@franklinj480]

those who don't learn, are doomed to repeat.

[@jenniona3737]

Freaking love you dude! I spent many years working in a wildlife Refuge thinking the same thing. You ate awesome! Hope you come back to jax, FL again!

[@ronhowell4886]

Love this song and video. It was such a pleasure to see you guys at Merlefest this year. Even picked up a copy of your album Ok Crawdad. You and the band were so damn good.

[@walterpiper8947]

My gods this just gets better and better. I've listened to this every day since it came out and now I'm seeing Nick and crew in November and I can't wait.

[@michaeljonker4785]

Dude. Been listening to you since forever. Even the old punk stuff. Legend. Keep making great music

[@dancom3207]

The song was more than wonderful, and the message after the song was even better!

[@Crushenator500]

LOVE THIS!! 'Don't Fence Me In' is one of my favourite songs ever, this is a phenomenal reimagining of it

[@coreywatts8183]

[@SuperBollus]

So very very good! Thanks Nick!

[@CJBleything1]

Loving this as a sequel to Roy Rodgers' song. I see you, Nick. Keep it up, can't wait to see you in MN again (and Milwaukee later this year)

[@chanterelgagnon]

la force du peuple! let's stick together despite our different views ♥ love the video!!! please continue to record out of the studio as well ;-) I really like how music sounds outside and you have a great voice for open spaces 🙂

[@camivdh]

Love the red-winged blackbird calls

[@omen1784]

i love this song lol

[@nathanmendez2874]

Nick never lets me down, another amazing tune!!!

[@supertoecutter]

great music. The commentary I think emphasizes the importance of morals and ethics and the freedom to live and accordingly. That is how community and caring is built. I hope a stance promoting anarchy is not implied.

[@kamek7361]

You might have the wrong idea about "anarchy". His message in the end mentioned resistance to hierarchies, a core part of anarchist ideals.

[@scumskate2941]

The musical savior of the generation! So grateful to have ever heard this music

[@loosieclocker]

Real

[@jessicab2056]

The birds in the beginning sounded like home.

[@Nathan-gn3ls]

Ooh just found Nick today and I gotta catch a show for sure. Everything about his music is top notch and on point.

[@walterpiper8947]

In a world of posers like Jason Aldean, be Nick Shoulders. 🖤
