The Era of Sierra ❤️

[@philipmcc5265]

yesssssss

[@marcterencemckenna8930]

I live in UK and y'all think we live in Castles and drink cups o tea. Well I think yall jump trains, write beautiful songs, and make my heart beat 😂❤

[@pmbbmp]

I thought yall live in council flats and drink Pims

[@marcterencemckenna8930]

@pmbbmp haha not far wrong there mate

[@pmbbmp]

[@iansutube]

We do jump trains. Now let's talk about visiting your castle.

[@appleget]

Haha I enjoyed this comment. A lot of us American's do romanticize the UK. I picture tea, packed out historic pubs, and comradery at football matches (all taking place under an overcast sky) Glad to see you think of the train hopping and beautiful music! We'll take that.

[@mcblakemore3423]

I could hear Fox Hunt one hundred times and not get tired of it -- Sierra is getting better every day and her band is tight!!

[@rosehannah4845]

Fox Hunt is my favorite song hands down in the world.

[@TheJerkHead1]

I’m going to see her with the Avett brothers Friday. Can’t wait.

[@kansasadventure1831]

I didn't even care for Fox Hunt that much, but then I kept replaying it😂

[@luthiermatt]

In 50 years folks will be trying to cover Sierra like we cover the greats of the 60's and 70's today. She's already built a legacy. I sure hope she keeps a reasonable pace and stays healthy and happy. It will be so good to hear more stuff from her.

[@BrettMatula]

There’s really no one better. The country queen of this generation.

[@etherashe5164]

You're absolutely right.

[@shakyarcher]

I am madly in love with this woman.

[@etherashe5164]

Aren't we all?!!?? 🤪

[@elmikol2443]

Most talented Musician to come in a long time. Just love this Woman! ❤

[@Pseudo_Boethius]

The finest thirteen minutes and thirtysix seconds in history of KZbin. I will be coming back and replaying this constantly. Many thanks for putting this on KZbin for the entire world to enjoy. And many thanks to Sierra Ferrell for restoring my faith in music. If you haven't already done so, hurry up and buy yourself a copy of "Trail of Flowers"....or a few copies. It will be a HUGE collectors item in just a few years.

[@jimbradley7058]

Sierra is a gem.

[@etherashe5164]

I love every song Ms. Sierra has written and sings; but Hot Damn! "Dollar Bill Bar" is my all-time favorite. It pulls at my heart strings, making me feel so nostalgic (and a little sad.) It reminds me of dives I used to hang out and play in back in the old days. I think of friends and lovers who are dead, disappeared, or who I have no clue what happened to them. People I loved and miss, who I'll likely never see again. Such a simple, genuine master-piece. 🥰

[@raymondphaneuf3022]

Just when it seems she's reached perfection, she shows that she can take it to a higher level. The instruments are better than ever, but it is her voice that is beyond compare. She seems to have an infinite capacity to vary that beautiful voice...

[@turambar304]

Her voice is just magical

[@songpoets-ramcey]

Sierra's the real deal, both as a human and a songwriter. Thanks for these cool studio performances!

[@danielcaloe6632]

AMAZING TALENT ❤❤❤ Listened FROM DAY ONE🎤🎸💯🎶🌟🌟😍😍

[@alecbaldwin9671]

She never ceases to amaze. What a doll.

[@sherinorman210]

I had the chance to experience this young woman’s talent at Merlefest a year or two ago. Wow! One of the best natural talents I’ve ever seen.❤❤

[@annagrisham2215]

Stripped down version you can really hear her voice. Thrilled to see this interview and performance. Your honesty is a huge breath of fresh air.

[@tfmajka13]

Sierra is a national treasure. 😊

[@diogenesalejandroxenosdax1723]

Sierra Ferrell has a sound of the past the Present and fuTure. Nice Job ganG

[@pmbbmp]

There is no future

[@diogenesalejandroxenosdax1723]

​@@pmbbmp for each what they "beLive" Were all time travelers, flying through time/space.

[@Gently469]

What a phenomenal voice she has and what a great future lies ahead! as she is truly an original!

[@hollifield877]

just saw her in Raleigh on 5/11. She's pure magic

[@sir_arliden]

Charleston on 05/10. Holy shit, wasn’t she/the band great?

[@nickzatz9497]

I saw her last summer in Wilmington and she crushed!

[@hollifield877]

​@nickzatz9497 I was there too at Greenfield Lake. I live here in Leland NC

[@hollifield877]

​@sir_arliden she's just amazing

[@stanleykomonce8302]

Heart breaker .....................so sweet

[@maireadheffernan9943]

Her voice never ceases to give me shivers up and down my spine. Her vocals at the beginning of Fox Hunt, stunning.

[@TheRealSykx]

Spoilers! lol

[@cindyhavey1497]

she is an angel. saw her in hollywood last month. omg. will never forget it. am in vegas this week. stood in front of t mobile arena where she opens for zach bryan in about 3 weeks. looked at the building then looked at her name tattooed on my forearm. got shivers and a tear. she has come a long way. pray to god for her health and happiness

[@vs71597]

You got her name tattooed on your forearm????? So creepy omg

[@wattsd12]

Damn fine band!

[@thegoldenarrow8484]

She is amazing and so well supported by great musicians. Fox Hunt blew me away there, it's sensational. Please come back to England Sierra!

[@user-ls9nm9uy5s]

Brilliant playing and singing as always. Thank you for sharing your Music Sierra ! Your Music is a light in Country Western tradition. From: Steven

[@marcterencemckenna8930]

When the drummer counts the band back in. Best 4 in the song 😊

[@Greta426]

Stunning. Please come to UK or Ireland. Can’t stop listening to this. Masterpiece. ❤️

[@mosesleighjones3802]

this song is the moment. the sound of the present. bravo from Australia

[@obarbarella]

🫀🫀🫀 she’s on fire 🔥 and love her style and groove since the moment I’ve heard about her and listened. She deserves all the limelight coming her way. Whoop

[@bradleydewey9083]

Her band has gotten so damn good...

[@rosehannah4845]

Holy Shit

[@Cotictimmy]

Yup - she's the Real Deal. 😀

[@user-yp5cu3zv1l]

I hope she's doing well, I love her and her music . She looks a little sad in this video and I hope it's just an off day like we all have and not the music industry slowly wearing her down. She's an incredible person and musician, I hope the year continues to bring much acclaim and also I hope she does get to rest too.

[@extra-chill]

Looks to me like it was early in the morning... but i agree with you. She's gotten pretty famous over the past year. Edit: Realized based on the windows its dark outside...

[@vs71597]

Ever since she hit it big she’s seemed very depressed unfortunately. Happens to them all

[@johnmurray2214]

@@vs71597Sad but true , it’s lonely at the top.

[@etherashe5164]

Despite what anybody thinks or imagines, the music industry is a tough (if not brutal) industry. I hope she's getting plenty of quiet recovery time between touring, recording and interviews.

[@mountaintyme2000]

What a stunning singer.

[@imcaiocastro7324]

Insanely good!!!

[@rayholmes4402]

This was great but I really hope these guys get over to EXP radio station soon … their sound quality blows everyone else out the water at the moment 👍🏽✅

[@herrrmike]

I’m waiting for the Tiny Desk concert. Their sound engineer can’t be beat.

[@pecogiardina]

Loved it! More please! Such a talented voice and band! Fantastic:)

[@chipsterb4946]

I will see and hear her live in September and cannot wait!

[@RonCham]

OMG THANK YOU - I've been waiting for a live pro-shot version of American Dreaming for months.

[@marcoortiz8046]

Thanks for posting! Sierra just the MOST!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 and a big shout out to listing the musicians. KEXP, Jam in the Van, AudioTree, sometime don't list musicians that play with the "Star" of the band.

[@pearlsbeforeswine60]

Electrifying!

[@jamieb7799]

Absolutely brilliant set. I’m a fan after watching the vid of her play with Shakey Graves at Red Rocks. A new fan from Oz 👍

[@clarkin07]

Chills! Lucky enough to see her a couple of years ago and can’t wait to see her again in a couple of days. Incredible live. Can’t recommend seeing her in person strongly enough

[@pokenastic6081]

Another beautiful performance by Sierra. Can't get enough.

[@bloodgirl4]

Every time she sings, its a new version and I'm in love all over again

[@Nosaj1978]

This entire performance is great but I particularly like the part from 1:44 to 1:48.

[@mezenman]

Fantastic! Best I have heard Fox Hunt.

[@michael4930]

A rare gem. Talent for days!!! What a voice!

[@user-mm5sc4lf4p]

Love Sierra! So unique and talented. Can’t wait to see her in concert soon 😊

Folks, Sierra just leveled up. Here we go!

[@scotttaylor9875]

[@rosehannah4845]

I like this version of Fox Hunt it sounds almost like the Live with Jimmy Kimmel performance which was epic but I still absolutely love the Western AF version. Happy to have all these versons I love them all. Thanks Sierra. Please don't let them take your soul it's beautiful.
