Rival Sons - Acoustic "Feral Roots"

Recording artists Jay Buchanan and Scott Holiday of the band Rival Sons stopped by the 97.1 The Eagle AT&T THANKS Sound Studio to perform an acoustic version of their single "Feral Roots".

[@suk1123]

Everyone talks about Jay’s voice, and indeed it is special. However, credit must also go to Scott who is a first rate guitar player.

I didn’t notice he was good at guitar

Miley is a beast on the drums as well.

That Voice is just a level above any other Human on this planet .... Stunning!!

[@Louisthesaxman1]

Check out Beth Hart ;-)

[@arlenetomkins9208]

He is def in my tops list.. them being.. Robert Plant.. Ian Thornley... Chris Cornell... Paul Rodgers .. Lincoln Durham and Jay of course yep ..all theses VOICES 😎✌️

I put Glenn Hughes in there as well.

Two people are insane. This is musical perfection.

[@deybydey99]

Now 14 people . An electricfing experience live. Saw them March 7 2020 Tampa Florida. Can't wait till all the covid19 dust clears up. Got tickets to 4 shows in Florida and NC.

[@PetterHegevall_]

Amazing. Mr Jays voice sure is the finest since Plant. The best since 1970.

[@LukeCurtisPhotography]

Petter Hegevall Jay and also Myles Kennedy 🤘

[@ruka5805]

I'd say he reminds me more of Paul Rogers particularly on this song.

[@Stillsurfing]

Total agree with Marc below. Reminds me so much more of Paul Rodgers. Jay is stunning. Saw him live this year and am just in awe. Brilliant group all round. LOVE

[@Laststopny2741]

@@ruka5805 Yes!! my first thought!

[@jonathanmayer2574]

Paul Janeway has entered the chat

[@priceybay3834]

They should be on every tv and radio station in the UK. Best band in the world right now

[@85Funkadelic]

They arent on American radio either as far as Ive heard. Glad I found them they are as you say the best right now in my opinion.

[@sandiegojoe]

Wish they'd do an acoustic album or tour. It's so much easier to appreciate Jay's vocals this way.

[@JacePenderwick67]

One of the greatest rock bands since Zep in my humble opinion!!

[@dougyazell5479]

Mine too.

[@MrCiccionumberone]

@@dougyazell5479 to night i 'll see them in milan

[@MikeCasavant]

Zero arguments there. With the amount of complete dogshit that comes out nowadays, the Rival boys are a complete breath of fresh air.

[@augustomacchioli2172]

zep was a great band..but back in the 70's some bands were superiors than zep..Deep Purple, Queen, Dire Straits were and are superiors..if you like zep, great, you have good musical taste, but in a impartial opinion zep have better marketing than other bands..

[@60indio]

@@augustomacchioli2172 what you talking about?? What marketing are did Zep have?? It was exactly the opposite.. Zep didn't rely on marketing.. Grant made sure they remained obscured, mystical, off the news.. It created great demand for their incredible live shows.. An any material their released.. Which was few an in-between.. I live the era.. It was frustrating to like a band so much but gave next to no access to info.. I'm not going to talk about Deep Purple, Dire Straits, Queen.. They were all good.. The reason why they didn't match zep then and through the ages is the quality of the material they composed and the quality of musicianship didn't match Zeppelin's..

[@jsloan024]

My God, his voice is gold !

[@lauragleason7871]

He's got to be one of the best singers of our time. I could listen to him all day. 💙

[@noedumont1411]

This song, this album, this band... Wow, some serious stuff forged to be a lasting classic. Was at their show last sunday in Montréal and undeniably one of the best I had the chance to a be part of. Should be a Grammy winner for Best Rock Album with Feral Roots.

[@terrikirschenzaft4353]

I'm so happy you got to see the show, they are superb aren't they? I couldn't go, no money and was sick, they were nominated for a Grammy for best rock, but someone else one, also great, but this is the best I've heard these days, let's pray for the end of Covid 19 and see Rival Sons back in Montreal, so happy to have them with us on this planet, thanks for sharing about the show I missed!

[@nutgoat]

The Sons killed it in Dallas last night. I know it was a great show because I'm hoarse, sore, and partially deaf. I love this band!!!

[@deybydey99]

Same here at Pittsburgh 9.21.19 and Tampa Florida 3.7.2020 shows. Electrifying band!!!

[@gissellest333]

Not since Chris Cornell have I heard a voice this beautiful and potent.

[@visionsmagazineonlin]

The studio version is hard to compete with. His voice is so strong on the refined studio version. It has 10x more punch.

[@majikalmaiden]

these lyrics have some seriously deep messages & wisdom...cant get enough of these guys! they take me to some amazing places~xo

[@elwray3506]

These two thumbs down must be from two guys who had their girlfriends stolen by Jay & Scott. No, seriously, they probably never had a girlfriend in the first place. lol What a song, what a performance! I demand an acoustic album, like...now!

[@toomanythings]

This song gives me chills, this version is magical. Rival Sons Forever

[@user-ww9bb9wo5s]

Jay's voice is a true gift from God! One talented human being!

[@claudiostagno6717]

Was für eine unglaubliche Stimme!!! Gänsehaut!🙏👌

[@user-bc8bl7qk7q]

Scott is soooo busy on this track...... brilliant

[@ashwar3639]

Wow...sounds unreal. Its like Paul Rodgers singing Zeppelin songs or something. But with it's own spin and sound. Blown away, and that NEVER happens with rock music anymore.

[@joejones8626]

Christ it was just as the record . Best tune this year !!!!@@

[@dougyazell5479]

Still waiting for this band too let me down.

[@fwfrazorx]

Scott just keeps growing and evolving. I can’t wait to see them again.

[@sfmgolf]

Best voice in rock! Period!

[@terrikirschenzaft4353]

Yes, he has a unique vocal style, shades of folksiness, vibrato, they tour constantly, he can sing it gentle, he can deliver it a la hard rock, it's magical, period!

[@dougyazell5479]

That was incredible.

[@Brandaniron]

GUILD guitars baby! What a song ! Wow!!

[@kellyl.997]

This brings me back to the day when singers were real singers , not fabricated by machines in a studio. When someone can sound like this acoustically, well, enough said.

[@runtt21]

Outstanding show last night! Trees was sold out!

[@tyler.london]

I know this video is about Rival Sons and they're completely badass. But when I see 97.1 The Eagle, I immediately am taken back to those longer drives home from work listening to Russ Martin. Miss him so much.

[@marshamorgan707]

I love love love this!!! Reminds me of my home in these Appalachian Mountains that I love so much. Definitely something spiritual about this song that makes it extra special.

[@tomasruival9804]

The world will stand a chance as long as we still have rock and roll like these guys... ROCK ON!

[@diablo127]

I didn't know them until I saw them open for Black Sabbath a few years ago. They blew up the crowd. It's great when a band is better live than on record.

[@walksfarwolf]

We were there, our first meet of the guys. The video doesn't capture how haunting this song is in an intimate setting. I cried. Trees the next day, Temple Live and then Nashville. Amazing guys that gives it all.

[@kitoyobeni1]

My eyes are getting a bit misty just listening to the video. Such a powerful song and voice. This band deserves so much more, but I'll settle for whatever keeps them together and releasing new music. Great way to reset the soul after a long day at work...

[@blakejustice1972]

Give it all is exactly right! Hardest working band I ever saw. They played a small venue in Carrboro, NC (shout out to Cat's Cradle) and performed like they were in front of 10,000!! Really put their heart into it. I will pay to see them every time I have the opportunity.

[@walksfarwolf]

@@blakejustice1972 Exactly, We are in Texas, but willing to go to other states within a 11 hour or so one way drive to catch them! They are worth it! The ONLY band we will do this for. They mean that much to us ans we can't get enough of them.

Made the 4 and a half hour drive to Dallas from San Antonio to see them at Trees the same night this was filmed. It was April 2019 got to meet Jay and Scott after the show really cool guys.Feral Roots is a love at first listen song for me.Whenever the day comes that I leave this earth one of my requests is for this song to be played at my memorial service.

On the mountain where I was born There are trees that would call my name On the wind, they would bring a song For every feral lead to claim They said keep your eyes open And we'll teach you to dream while you are awake Well, they haven't spoken Since their branches were broken for the fire that they told me to Feral roots calling me back home Feral roots are calling me back home On the book where my page was torn There are words that I don't understand All my elders they tell me those ones Were not writ by human hands Well, I just don't believe that's true If the truth can be written, then the truth can be hid Those words are commanding you Though your body may grow old in your mind You must remain a kid Feral roots are calling me back home Feral roots calling me back home Feral roots calling me back home Feral roots calling me back home Feral roots calling me back home Feral roots calling me back home Feral roots calling me back home Feral roots calling me back home
