Tift Merritt - Good Hearted Man (Live From Austin TX)

"Good Hearted Man" from Tift Merritt's 'Live From Austin TX' performance. Buy it today on Amazon amzn.to/1ahGzrW.
Tift Merritt says "I think music is about the pursuit of joy, even the sad song, and it feels really great to get those feelings out." As one critic wrote, she expresses those feelings with a voice that "is a magical combination of cool reserve and effortless warmth." This performance, recorded on October 20, 2005, followed the release of Tambourine, the follow-up to her acclaimed debut Bramble Rose.

Is it just my imagination, or is this one of the most wonderful songs, by one of the most wonderful singers of all time? This song is a classic!

Agree. 12 years later and I'm still back listening to it. A classic.

Brings back memories of Janice and Juice at their best. And Emmylou sneaks in there too.

[@squirrelsguy]

Well I'm doing my best to get her name out there! I am just in love with this woman's music! after watching this I bought Buckingham solo. I was disappointed at first because its a totally different sound than this concert but damn! it became my favorite CD almost instantly. she sings like an angel.

[@JacKass00001]

Smells like the good ol' dawg!! Waiting for the DVD release of this show!!

[@dnamj]

[@UlrichSternBerlin]

oh my god! Great! Great! Great!

[@56dees]

woouuuw...she good....

[@whiskeywatermark]

Good one. I'll bet she really appreciates that.

[@RaiderEleven]

Great in every respect mentioned. I am new to this artist and will check her out. Another one who deserves wider attention. (BTW she and Ana Egge are different but each one is super in their way!)

[@Byzantine41]

Because she has talent. That is why

[@djeshoes]

plus she has a great set of tifts.

[@waveman69]

Love this video. It makes me want a big tall glass of milk. :)

[@rakgtr]

bought her album in a dollar store today. Some awesome ass music, and I dont even listen to country

[@Nummymuffincocobutter]

I was asking myself the same question.I think it has to do with how they look,their image.Not saying Tift isn't beautiful because she is and even more than the ones you mentioned..Today's so called country stars can't hold a candle to Tift..

[@simoneBM11]

Nice work congratulation!

[@williamjames6624]

Yes you make a great point here in your comment Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋👋

[@noticeeverything]

A great performer and its all her stuff. Hmmm she has only just begun. Go see Tift if the opportunity poses itself. You will not be dissappointed in any way

[@jellybean6778]

The only difference is that Tift has talent

[@Rittmeister2007]

Tift is wonderful but there should be some more Rock´n Roll and then she will reach every montain high. That´s what she deserves!

[@jcmontenegro1]

5 star

[@Louloute2eme]

Tift ..........to go in France please

[@MrRazorblade999]

It's more soul music than country.

[@Nummymuffincocobutter]

Dang it,I just realized I already replied to this comment of yours.Next time I need to pay more closer attention...D'oh!!

[@NBClaymore]

Saw her in Edinburgh last night supporting Mary Chapin Carpenter. Very good but somewhat hampered by performing solo - a backing band would have enhanced the experience.

[@DavidSanSegundoBello]

Sí

[@jpmorgan187]

she's cute as all getup

[@ILoveWomensVoices]

Well I don't know how you can compare anyone to Tift, who is uniquely wonderful. But, thanks for turning me on to Ana Egge, who'se very fine!

[@deliveryguyrx]

@djeshoes TRUE DAT!! :>)

[@levi501ish]

Where is she now?

[@jotadablio]

é o Neal Casal na guitarra?

[@vjaywdamery]

watch out stevie nicks. here come tift

[@vjaywdamery]

next Stevie nicks

[@Nummymuffincocobutter]

You're right,that doesn't make sense to me either.I mean her and Matraca Berg are 2 remarkable singer/songwriters,but they're not as popular as the ones you mentioned..Could it be their names? Does Faith and Shania have better agents or a record company who can spend X amount of money on publicity? Artists like Tift and Matraca are under the radar,but it's always the right people who discover them.

[@fgrod]

Ana Egge is way better.

[@microdotz]

country?? ya, shes really cleaning up @ the cmas. if anyone really likes this music, they would quit calling it 'country'. kim richey made an effort to break away from country & was never a superstar. neither grace potter nor hope sandoval are country. in europe amy macdonald is huge. its folk/ pop which is a lot like country.
