One man, a guitar and a kick drum is all it takes to make radio country look like a dumpster fire. Edit: Glad to see there are so many fans of real country that can relate.

@@dustindearing1722 so quite a bit different then? The biggest difference between singers being their voices. And lyrics. And if they play an instrument, playing style, tuning and chord choices. So not really the same at all. Other than both use a guitar and kick drum. Alicia Keys is basically a knock off of Bach since they both play the piano.

@@dustindearing1722 not sure what world calling someone a knock off is considered respect. And therein lies the cause of us getting off on the bad foot. Even if someone says you're a knock off of God himself, knockoff is still an insult. I'll go check that song out.

@@dustindearing1722 checked out that song and about six others from Shakey. I'm not hearing what you're hearing. So I have to stick with my Billy Joel to Jerry Lee Lewis analogy.

@@dustindearing1722 all is forgiven then. I hadn't heard of Shakey Graves until your comment. Dig the style as well. Reminds me of the school janitor when I was in elementary school, had a weekend gig at the flea market where he played his guitar, harmonica and kick drum. Flat out amazing.

The song is actually about Robert Johnson. Father of bluegrass. People like B.B. King would study RoJo because he was single-handedly the best guitar player who lived. He only recorded I believe 3-5 songs and died. Story is he disappeared for a year, came back some kind of string pickin idiot savant. Told people he sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads in Mississippi. There’s a whole movie from the 90’s about him and a documentary from the 2010’s

To you it's 'country'... the secret is... we're both right. I'm not calling Colter a rip off (love this dude's music)... this is his own song, his own style, but it borrows heavily from some VERY old blues. It's all good, I bet Robert Johnson would love this song. But the old crossroads trope in music (And more covers of this song that I can count...

Shortly after picking yourself of the floor when you hear that voice for the first time, you notice that he's a dammed fine picker too. His timing and phrasing are brutally gorgeous

[@metallicaaddict2436]

Every note he’s hitting, every string he’s picking without lookin half the time, and not muting it is insane. I could never remember the notes or chords to play this.

[@robertlee4809]

I'm from Rolling Fork Mississippi...grew up off Highway 61. The kind of blues that I play and grew up hearing around me at the old juke joints, utilizes this style of picking. An old friend and guitar picking friend used to call my style of picking "thump blues"....playing the bass lines while playing within the chord structure....absolutely love this

[@paulmenard6219]

None of that is really written out. It's basically just feel around his vocals... that's why these songs change a bit over the years of playing them. This guy is a genius... seriously... but it's really not a difficult song to play at all.

[@philipatoz]

It's like someone poured the musical DNA of Johnny Cash and Tennessee Ernie Ford into the same young man / old soul! He really knows how to powerfully do subtle inflections, both as a guitarist and as a vocalist. Less is more, especially when the right magical drops of voice and instrument are sparsely and inspirationally blended. This kid is no doubt the REAL deal!!!

Are you sure it’s not “tunes”? “I know a few tunes to make all the girls dance.” Idk if it’s correct, but it seems like it should be. I appreciate the time it takes to post the lyrics, especially when there may be a few words that are hard to decipher. I’m glad you got the Ole Miss part right. Another poster put Old Myth. The only other part is the ending. It sounds like he sings “eternal light”, but I’d bet it’s “eternal life”, and the way Colter sings it makes it sound like “light.” The price was his soul (eternal life).

I’m pretty sure this song is about Robert Johnson, a guitarist who people say sold his soul to the devil even being one of the first to do so. He went to the cross roads of Highways 49 and 61 in Clarksdale, Mississippi referencing the lyrics “I saw him driving down the 61 in early July.” One of Robert Johnson’s songs “Me and the devil blues” is supposedly one of the songs the devil played to Robert when he gave his guitar to the devil and the line “I know you I know you, young man I know you by the state of your hands You're a six string picker Just as I... I am” and “Let me learn you somethin': I know a few turns to make all the girls dance" is somewhat relating to that I’m not sure if this is 100% about him but it seems to be

[@Rack47]

Dude, I recognized the ''story'', but couldn't figure out from where. But once I read the name , I realized. I am almost certain that it is about Robert Johnson.

[@realbad5071]

You nailed it Dude, an early 30's model Caddy The cross roads is at 61 and 49 on the Delta right outside Clarksdale. It's said that 61 was still gravel and 49 dirt when Johnson made his deal. Not sure how long ago it was now , (Peyton Manning was still playing for the University of Tennessee ) but I built a two lane overpass both North and South bound over Robert Johnson's Crossroads. Didn't make any deals while I was there.
