Nick Shoulders | "Rather Low" | Western AF

[@zachredis1237]

“I’ll die where I stand if I hear Wagon Wheel again”😂😂

[@Neff43]

He is not alone! That song makes me want to suck start a pistol, no matter who covers it.

[@parachute82nd]

I cant even listen to "country music" anymore. The Steeldrivers, old hank, Doc watson. Thats the good stuff

[@Thunderchicken69]

The original Old Crow Medicean Show version is alright, they make good music, but that song is way overdone.

[@gringotroller]

@@Thunderchicken69 bob dylan did it before them. I think its an old folk song

[@dudereno21]

No kidding, put my tab on the one who found those damn Dylan chorus lyrics once upon a time in Mexico, they can afford it

[@TheMonke.]

Lyrics:My eyes adjust, my joints are rusty, sheets are awful cold and dusty, roll over folks it must have been another night on the bend. Kick rocks, slept in socks, BooLahLah and levee walks, this couch is my kingdom and I swear there’s bugs in my head. Sick sad and sentient, a penny saved a penny spent, asleep at the wheel sure beats being awake in my bed. Last call to feel small, I dread the sight of alcohol, I don’t know where this train stops but I want off. Been rather low, out here together. Reckon that we’ll keep trying if rock bottom it never shows You’re not alone, if there’s a storm to weather I aint welcome at home, I don’t know about you Double takes and double stops, I double dare ya call the cops, I’ll die where I stand if I hear wagon wheel again. 40 days of foggy nights, withered by the city lights, I don’t remember existential crisis being part of the deal. I told you once I told you twice, I’m steeped in verse and cursed in vice, I traded my 40 acres for a mountain of pain. Hotdamn Hamm’s can, blinded in the promised land, I don’t mind if I do declare: we’re as good as dead. Been rather low, out here together. Reckon that we’ll keep trying if rock bottom it never shows You’re not alone, if there’s a storm to weather I aint welcome at home, I don’t know about you

[@slowpokebr549]

My family has a large farm in Missouri. We all had a unique holler. My Grandpa especially was super loud. You could pick out his holler two miles off and you better hustle home if you heard it. He and his brother could both really yodel, especially drunk. Cattle or hog calling is fun to listen too as well. To this day, I have a call I do every time I call up my herd. They learn to recognize you and come running.

[@urbantree309]

I actually heard you the other day on Craig Charles (Uk here) and your intellect and droll humour came through and appealed but oh, my, listening to you has blown my mind. I liked your voice so much I listened to a podcast. But your album is even more amazing. My favourite is the G song. Bound is a true protest song.
