Ruston Kelly - "Mockingbird" (Live at WFUV)

[@DaNeOMiTe313]

The first verse is just perfection.

[@sddingo6538]

I’m a 38 year old grown man and this song makes me sob and I don’t know why

[@colincrozier8632]

Sarah Jarosz brought me here. Thank you Sarah and Ruston. What a beautiful song.

[@scottlangdonproject]

Same

[@gregstephenson414]

Me too !

[@richabolistic]

Same. I’m taken with your dad’s pedal steel playing. Love it all!

[@rahang4126]

Same for me, and I was glad I discovered this guy !

[@ryokoishizuka4034]

For my first time in my life, I fell in love with a song!

[@cosmic_drifter_007]

Congratulations!! That’s beautiful!

[@adamtyson1257]

One of our students just cover this song in our contemporary music class performance tonight, I like this so much I had to listen to the original. The kid did a great job but I wanted to listen to the original. Really really wonderful !! and I’ll have to listen to more of Ruston’s music.

[@SourMashband]

Absolutely beautiful. From the story to the music to his voice.

[@alexxmigss]

Dang, this is so good. They can really replicate the record live!

[@michaelbauer2950]

I love Ruston. I have spent a lot of time with his most recent album, The Weakness. It came out about the same time that I was getting divorced. Today, I went back to some of his older work. I hadn't listened to this song in quite a while. This is a great performance.

[@pagaldo9642]

This song crosses many genres but is unique in itself as well, one of my favorite songs I’ve ever heard!

[@redriverfire7931]

This song is underrated, it’s amazing

[@tjgentry8296]

Perfect example of true talent! I've been lucky enough to have seen him live. Once in Asheville, NC. & once in Nashville, TN. Not that he isn't good in his own rite, but in Asheville Kasey Musgrave was with him. THAT show was unbelievable. If you've never seen him live, I suggest you do. Personal Favorite Song(s) Mercury Jericho Faceplate Son of a highway daughter

[@ericray1442]

I love Kacey, and I'm glad she points to this man as her inspiration. You can hear it clearly. I'll be looking for more from Ruston.

[@adam_michael540]

Oooof this aged well

[@rajjohal1976]

we saw him last fall in Seattle at the Tractor Tavern in Ballard, one of the best live shows we have been to. He is a genius singer. Needs a lot more exposure.....the masses must discover him...

[@saintless]

Just discovering him now after seeing a Sarah Jarosz cover! Also, man do I miss the Tractor Tavern.. last act I caught there was Marty Wilson Piper and must have been like 2007.

[@steelpickin1]

Nothing better than the sound a psg

[@robbiecleighmarks3088]

What a song

[@steveedwards7984]

Freaking beautiful.

[@JuanJimenez-jz6md]

Perfect, but I missed the harmonica a little

[@nannygoatj]

Same.

[@manuelatorres3158]

I missed it too!

[@tigvi3429]

Wow! Never heard of him but happy I have now. Nice!!

[@uglysweaterheaven3060]

Oh my god! Wow. Amazing music.

[@jeremyheartriter2.063]

I love this. Damn! 🤧

[@murfemersed]

I wanted to miss the harmonica, but I loved the steelie just as much. Beautiful.

[@sanmeshsawant4781]

Why this song is so underrated.. Fuxk I love this song so much 🖤

[@timange124]

I second missing the harmonica. Amazing performance though. Would definitely see you live if you came to TO area... for a concert... remember those things?? I’ll never take them for granted again..

[@gonatural9545]

I listen on repeat… 😎 I’m addicted and even play it in the guitar

[@dennisdwyer5546]

I want to play this on the guitar so bad.

[@jmpascoe]

Perfection.

[@paukacangmerah]

why the hell this got only 500+ views? damn

[@MiM-tj6hq]

Underrated love this

[@msjaerae]

[@rowdyhoo]

Awesome song and performance! 😍

[@markroberts4303]

So looking forward to your set at the gorge Saturday. I’m sure you will bring it.

[@michaeltheaney]

Well done!

[@hectorvalero4120]

Great song like lyrics

[@5tullys]

I love this so much!!

[@duckdog10]

Wow. You are amazing

[@demirnur]

Even better than the record version. 👏👏👏

[@sddingo6538]

I’m sayin!

[@BrandyD1777]

I can't agree with you YET I can this version, remake, cover is phenomenal 🎶🎵 especially they did it their own way. I do wonder if this version came first would I say the same about the original 😊

[@preopticfear]

Super solid band!! That was great!

[@brayanventura2588]

Me encanta es increíble

[@valerieelliot1584]

This makes me wanna spread my wings and fly

[@sddingo6538]

Can I come

[@FOM_extras]

0:35 what instrument is that?

[@NOScoper-zv2lt]

A pedal steel

[@FOM_extras]

@@NOScoper-zv2lt you're wonderful, thank you!

[@cosmic_drifter_007]

It wasn’t much, just everything. 🥺

[@lindsayguedron4198]

⚡️🖤⚡️

[@shanedennis1136]

That base player gets down. Love this song

[@caitlin.hardee]

genius

[@jwayne_13]

Came across your cover of Taylor Swift's All Too Well - wow, beautiful vocals 💘

[@valerieelliot1584]

Can I have that guitar please

[@LucDiGiuseppe]

Callowhill short scale bass??

[@zacharygoriszewski7493]

I never liked county music before I heard Ruston Kelly.

[@jordanpowell9504]

Zachary Goriszewski dirt emo

[@davidwilliams5863]

I was about to say the same 😉 Good on Rushton 😊

[@briard8874]

Pretty sure that's his dad on the steel guitar

[@rickjones4114]

Sounds so much better without the damn harmonica!

[@americanbruises1397]

Does anyone know what tuning(s) Ruston uses?

[@jhall0179]

It's standard with a capo on the 2nd fret.

[@TheTripwireSesh]

Pretty sure it's capo 3 not 2

[@FACT10-m9r]

Whiskeytown tuning

[@PaperbackDreamsMusic]

Two years late, but it's in standard with a capo on 3. The chords used are basically variations of Dsus, Cadd9, G, F, Am7 (the shape carries down the neck), and also an Em in the chorus.

[@eatprado]

I missed the harmonica, but the song is beatiful anyway!

[@valerieelliot1584]

Drumming

[@valerieelliot1584]

Dr. parks drumming would be funny

[@elysi2]

Well done, but I've heard it all before. It doesn't stand out to me, but what do I know. Just doesn't strike a chord with me.

[@nicko9647]

All good bud, it's called your opinion. Everyone has the right to one.

[@johnnn5592]

Ur little brain is comparing it with all the the little segments of this type of music that uve heard before but never really appreciated n that's why u can't see the uniqueness of this song. U have no depth to urself n no love for the craft.

[@elysi2]

Wow! Why so angry? Do you make an ad hominem attack on everyone who doesn't share your opinion? I guess it's symptomatic of the times.

[@ScootHen69]

magical!

[@sddingo6538]

I’m a 38 year old grown man and this song makes me sob and I don’t know why

[@brayanventura2588]
