Michael Hurley ft. Kassi Valazza & Merle Law | "I Paint a Design" | Western AF

[@jillgross4430]

Its nice they studied our original harmonies! Jill & Meg -And so great the "young folks" appreciate the Snock man!

[@dougalquin5739]

Michael Hurley plays music in a way that is very, very difficult to emulate. He has a feel for music that's on a different level. Hats off, hats off!

[@leoa.1570]

Aw, it's good to see Hurley getting the love he deserves. The man is incredible.

[@nicklee723]

Y'all have put me on so many artists I've never heard before Western AF but this is my favorite artist I've never heard of before.

[@HeadwatersVT]

Western AF... idk about that... this is Vermont AF ! Love to Hurley and westernaf for sharing his music so widely in these times!! Bless you all, so lovely to see him out there in the world still tearing it up

[@ralphmunn6689]

Ain't no denyin' that THIS is the real deal. Kudos to the ladies for nailing this, it's like singing harmonies with Willie - no chart, no template, just LISTEN and git it right! 🙏

[@luigi_border]

His music is heaven. thanks from Brazil

[@WesternAF]

🙌

[@ComedyBros5]

The backing harmonies of Kassi and Merle are absolutely wonderful here. This is amazing. And you can actually feel the warmth in this video from the love and appreciation of a great legend. Find you someone who looks at you the way these gals look at Hurley!

[@MrRicehard]

I'd settle for finding somebody who looks and sings the way Kassi does. She introduced me to Mr Hurley with her duet of 'I Stole The Right to Live' with Taylor Kingman.

[@absolutelynonameslef]

@MrRicehard she does a great version of Wildegeeses as well.

[@dizzydeni]

Absolute legend. All songwriters should take notice!

[@bennybaird2740]

This was so touching to see! The youngers backin' up the elders

[@jackcoy6047]

his "Whiskey Willie" is my wake up alarm every other morning, never get sick of it :)

[@turojarvenranta]

Hurley's been my top artist this year.

[@jonboy8181]

This is just perfect.

[@effenbegee6252]

Came to KZbin to specifically play this song and, what would you know, this live version had been uploaded just 2 days ago. Might just be my favourite version yet.

[@ocrow8079]

An American treasure.... saw him earlier this year in Portland Maine. Thank you

[@WesternAF]

amen on the treasure

[@nickfitzham]

I was at that show! What a treat

[@ocrow8079]

@@nickfitzham SPACE is the place!

[@karenbruce6749]

Heard this song in the closing credits of Ray McKinnon's 2009 film "The Accountant" and was compelled to look into it. Glad I did ~ it led me here. Thank you for sharing this video.......somehow I feel my life is richer for having witnessed it.

[@scottkidwellmusic9175]

Damn. I guess I have some listening homework ahead of me. This was fantastic. Great harmonies backing up Mr. Hurley. I caught Kassi in Boise, Idaho on her spring 2024 run. Simply amazing. I'll keep an eye out for Merle Law. Thanks, y'all

[@debrazoe4021]

[@Guitar_Romantic_L.A.M.F]

He's 82 not 84..he will be 83 in December

[@seayourecords]

[@sitindogmas]

I smell fermented foods

[@davidmcnair1455]

I am a long time fan of Michael. But, I have to say, he's a bit morally "soft". Years ago, I sent him $15 for a WATERTOWER CD. Months went by. Then, I got an email from him, asking me if he had ever sent the CD. I replied that he had not. Never heard back. Never got the CD. If he ever plays Austin, I intend to relieve him of $15, though I would prefer to have the CD.

[@nomada7029]

that's a long held grudge best let go bubba

[@nomada7029]

if you run into him again, ask for a free CD.

[@laurenkrum]

Some real mean faces being made here. Weird vibes! Kassi - you ok?

[@kassivalazza4405]

I think that’s just my face

[@LetsEndHumanity]

Holy shit!!!

[@brendenmongrain7357]

Amazing
