[@Kyojiiin]

Thanks for all of the support on this video, the next "who is" video is out now kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6a4cqeXpMd-osU

[@randophanto3153]

It's so great to see Jesse go crazy popular

[@Robot256k]

It's about time someone with actual raw talent gets recognised instead of all this talentless garbage you see these days polluting young peoples minds.

[@Atofer1]

Dude pours his soul into his songs. Has some comedic lines and is touching super serious topics too! Man deserves the praise.

[@gregorycugnod1693]

Still a niche, though

[@kadinhester924]

Arkansas has talent it’s just hidden in small towns like ozark lol

[@edenisburning]

It's his time. People are starving for something real. He is capturing the modern zeitgeist.

[@TeeKing]

Jesse is a musician for the people at a time when the people need him the most.

[@shawnbruce6934]

True.

[@Natural_ShowmanShip]

Munns Jake..... Keep clam AND MUSIC on

[@dzydzy101]

every band hes been, every recent song in the woods, and all of his old stuff, is straight gold. i cant think of many other artists with such consistent quality and important lyrics

[@Lu-em5wx]

Beatles

[@biocykle]

Agreed

[@GuntherRommel]

Arlo, Woody, and Bob, man.

[@FaqueGoogle-wo6ip]

[@GoogleSnakeee]

i was a fan of this guy since he released war isnt murder, deserved getting so popular

[@kolyadampf7550]

Yeah, as soon as I saw that, I looked into him hot really into his stuff. He is really talented.

[@OhBooD]

Wow, 4 whole months. Big fan! 😅

[@Atofer1]

So like one month ago? Lol jk most of his videos in the cornfield say 3-4 weeks old tho. Dude is amazing!

[@GoogleSnakeee]

@@OhBooD no need to get upset lol just spreading love

[@jflesh.bassin4948]

I first met Jesse During the time period when Welles was touring with Greta Van Fleet. I was blown away by the talent that Jesse possessed, and started attending Welles shows around Nashville as much as I could. Jesse and I were on a first name basis at one point, but i haven't spoken with him in a few years now. So glad to see him finally getting the recognition he deserves. I thought it would've happened YEARS ago.

[@LisaCranston-v9q]

He is a kind down to earth cool truthful man..🙏I hope he doesn't get to big so he loses his originally..Rock on..

[@cathyb2204]

Bless Harlan and his Hummingbird.

[@NotTheNebraskaMan]

He aged backwards looks younger now.

[@whiteyfisk9769]

Getting off of amphetamines will do that. Jesse is the best

[@NotTheNebraskaMan]

@@whiteyfisk9769 it’s crazy how authentic he is. I’m not going to lie I was not aware of who he was prior so I didn’t know he had issues with substance abuse. Makes sense.

[@whiteyfisk9769]

@@NotTheNebraskaMan maybe he didnt, i was just guessing. As someone who had thise issues as a youth, i recognized some of the signs. He may just naturally have a really low BMI

[@shawnbruce6934]

Because He's Happy.

[@mo7461]

It's an AI generated production program to make him look like a young boy.

[@clnrrr]

he's a wonderful poet, a delicate soul, an awesome guitar player, really good harmonica as well... he deserves to be heard. Easily the closest musician to my soul right now.

[@viracocha03]

Stumbled on him recently then looked more into Jesse. Dude deserves so much more views. Amazing artist.

[@bobdionne4625]

Somewhere along the way. He seems to have ditched the big hair and the leather clothes. No outrageous studio equipment. No gimmicks. Just a guitar and truthful music.

[@CindyNostalgicRealm]

I love his folk music. 1970s folk was my jam and this is the best I’ve seen since. Wish this talented and creative man all the best.

[@mikehemens9359]

no gimmicks is a gimmick

[@connorgooderl5656]

I was kind of buddies with him back in college in Arkansas ‘12-16. So I can clarify a couple things. His bands Dead Indian and Cosmic American were both based out of NW Arkansas. Welles was formed after he signed with C3 records. And I believe he worked at the factory between Welles and releasing his solo stuff as Jessie Welles.

[@heathercotalovesleo]

I’m loving everything I find from him!! Sundance id a fave for Dead Indian!

[@clumsiii]

i'm so stoked he's found recognition war isn't murder, good men don't die, children don't cry and all the women survive

[@LocatingGoku]

'Why don't you love me' is probably my favorite Jesse Welles song, very pleased that you decided to open with it!

[@shadowking6425]

I recently found him by KZbin suggestions! Blown away by the singing / songwriting talent! Really hope this guy gets the attention he deserves!!

[@simplewormonastring6869]

Found him when he posted his first video! It’s such a magical feeling to find a new singer/songwriter without much traction yet.

[@AlexTamMusic]

He is a real man who come to fix the conflicts of the mess up world!

[@AssistantLeaflet]

Been around seeing him in the recommended months ago. He had bout 950subs on KZbin at the time. I love everything he does. He’s a very amazing and prolific songwriter. He deserves millions.

[@Sinnicide]

Intro was all I needed to hear to appreciate your character and the unbiased nature of your coverage of his story. Thank you just found this dude yesterday and only like supporting artists who I can relate with so this is awesome to see!

[@timriley4648]

Thanks. Been wondering about this guy. He spills his heart in a way that alot of the late 1960s artists did, it seems to me.

[@joey-iz3td]

Reading blood meridian on the hood of my car? He's cool!

[@tinaknutsen]

Good ole raw old timey music…I enjoy the sounds, lyrics and the green pastures.

[@mariontalley]

Thanks for sharing all about Jesse. I've checked on his shows. They're ALL sold out

[@edwardsinger7644]

I'm so glad Jesse's already got a microdocumentary. I wanna see this kid go places, for real. Red Trees and White Trashes is an excellent album. I bet we see a Helles Welles II soon enough.

[@samuraibat1916]

"Always had root beer and cornbread." My man.

[@watchers4051]

Diet root beer no less....and he really likes that corn bread😂❤

[@joeybagodonuts6683]

Thank you, I was wondering about a lot of that. I really hope he sees this, it would be so great if he gave you an interview and shared a bit more in person.

[@FLY27P]

Looks like a 60-'s John Fogerty, sounds like a 60's Bob Dillan. He plays amazing well and his original compositions are just fun to listen to. Keep on truckin Jesse!

[@WilliamAlanPhoto]

Good job on this video. It's well made, and you have a good voice for this!

[@tonyraul5140]

70's genre music is so good it has to make a come back and Jesse is the best embassador to bring it back. Jesse Welles songs come from the heart and deep in the soul. Im a Big Fan I hope to catch em live in concer is in my bucket list

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

WELLE DONE!! I was fortunate enough to stumble upon his music in Cosmic American a year or so ago and I really loved how he sang so laid back and smooth on “Can you ride” when he hit the guitar solo I was all in. The solo surprised me because of the juxtaposition against his singing style. Then I found his videos for “Seventeen” and “Life like mine”. They are pro shot videos that look expensive. I have been in southern rock bands my whole life so that’s why I liked his stuff I guess. I know what it’s like to work 8 days a week on your band and the struggle to be successful so when I saw his folk stuff take off I was truly thrilled for him. He is not controversial in my opinion, he’s just being honest in what he feels. It’s ok if you don’t agree with him. I hate this “one and done” system we have on social media. We never forgive and we never forget. We can’t wait to cancel everybody. ITS OK TO DISAGREE!! He’s not hurting anyone and he knows that. I hope he keeps em coming. He deserves this success. Great video!

[@Natural_ShowmanShip]

Jake Munns.... Keep calm and music on

[@JacobthePoshPotato]

I only follow his KZbin and I subbed after the first song of his. He and Trever Wisecup do a fantastic job pulling off that man plucked from the 70s vibe.

[@freesouljah]

He is a great lyricist. Glad to see him getting all the attention that he deserves. 👏👏👏

[@Grass-seedling]

Can't wait to see this guy live.

[@simplewormonastring6869]

I could totally see him being as popular as Noah Kahan or Zach Bryan, very similar vibes.

[@GregMoore1]

Thanks very much for putting this together. Great research!

[@FIGBARFILMS]

I’ve just discovered Jess. And I’m truly fascinated with his talent and grit at such a young age. Your description of his life was very honest and interesting. Well done.

[@prattacaster]

He's already older than Hendrix was when he died. In fact it seems like most musicians write their best music in their 20s

[@stalwartzero7001]

He’s the man saving the world with vibes

[@Francois6048]

Your music is such a gift to the world man. You are

[@dottywells520]

Thank you for sharing what you’ve learned. I’ve been listening to him a lot lately and have been curious to find out more information on him.

[@joeyj6808]

The man had me as soon as I heard "War Isn't Murder". It sums up 2024 in the USA.

[@Atofer1]

Wow thanks for the info!! Makes sense why dead indian and cosmic american popped up on spotify... but no real info.. reminds me of finding benjamin tod and his former bands. This dude jesse is awesome!

[@Tajrocks]

randomly got suggested one of his videos a few days ago and i cant stop watching him-

[@TommyLikeTom]

Keep boosting Jesse's signal. He is a warrior on the front-lines of this war.

[@KenneyCmusic]

Love his music. Seems like a smart guy too.

[@jdkOutdoors]

Thanks so much for this! I’ve been fascinated by this mystery man for a while. What a writer!!! I hope his fans find Jalan Crossland and vice versa. They should do shows on the same bill.

[@Baraz_Red]

I found him via War Isn't Murder, which hit me. I listen to almost all his songs now: he is a super talented composer and musician.

I like the crackle in his voice.

[@carsonford9601]

[@noelbuddycares]

Nice video! I am very much a fan of Jesse's music, and I had found a few of his older tracks, but it was cool the way that you put this video together and all of the stuff you found.

[@congoblues]

He sure has a Blaze Foley vibe and I really dig him!

[@pseudosun]

yes, he is inspiring. I'm impressed by his accuracy on guitar, and he makes it look effortless. His singing is so genuine and soulful. I appreciate hearing this background info.

[@BrodyMcCain]

He reminds me of Bruce Cochran

[@MikeMcGilvry]

Yeah I thought parts of fear is a mind killer reminds me of wondering where the lions are.

[@shawnlawler6076]

I love the music and I really feel the vibe.

[@mikegleim5241]

Good on you. Just the facts about Jesse. While he may go on to be an American songwriting icon, and I hope he does, he's just getting going on his own. it's so fun to watch this evolution.

[@mrmikesparks]

Well done! I have been looking for some history on him. Thank you for putting this together!

[@drf3rd]

I like how he calls out the war criminals operating out of Israel.

[@Professional_Shmoover]

I’m proud to have grown up where this man grew up

[@yetanotherrandomyoutubecha4382]

There's something so pure about just a dude and his guitar in the woods, singing songs he wrote himself. I don't think he's a musical genius or anything, but I'm glad he's out there

[@digginggopher]

I wish i could say i listened to him before he was popular, but i just found about him about 10 days ago (today is aug 3 2024) but when i told my friend about him he showed me his older music which sounds like 90s alternative rock, so my friend listened to him before he was cool lol

[@teresathomley3703]

He is the hope, man

[@bobbywright3479]

I got dead Indian lip from Bandcamp and it is very good!

[@steve.schaeffer]

Thanks for this. Love Jesse!! So cool to get some more insight into this frickin genius enigma poet!!! (Plug: Y'all come join the jessewelles subreddit if you're a fan!)

[@Todd-o8n]

I thought his recent popularity was all KZbin. That shows what a geezer I am. TikTok 🤔 😂😂😂 The dude is insightful and witty, and his guitaring, and singing, and harmonica-ing, and whistling , are all very good, too! 💯

[@deanshull4063]

As a music fan. I thank you Jesse for putting yourself out there. I thank the algo for showing him to me. And thank you for making this little documentary.

The next Bob Dylan that's who!

[@interestingest]

Thanks for the bits of info you have. A Facebook friend posted Jesse Welles' Boeing song and I was hooked. Check every day for a new song.

[@theresamariemusic]

He reminds me of Bob Dylan who didn't really concern himself with what others thought of his songs either.

[@methe0dds]

I always think it's Jim Morrison when I see that fella.

[@bruceallen6377]

that was interesting thank you, I learned something about the mysterious Wells! i've said it many times commenting on his videos but I'll say it again, I believe him to be one of the greatest singer songwriters of our time, he is a modern day Bob Dylan times 10! Thanks for the video!

[@radmad1981]

Thank you for this.

[@sambuccamusic]

Mate, you're great! What great coverage

[@rickbensco9793]

Thanks for the little intro to what you think about Jesse. May I pose a question about your assumptions about his personal life through song. Why do you think they are autobiographical? A song is a story fact of fiction embellished or raw. I often would think I knew something about an author by his work until it was revealed to be otherwise. Remember it is a story with music..

[@RalphDratman]

Excellent video -- thank you!

[@karmaklutz]

I absolutely love him

[@sigrice]

Awesome videos, thanks!

[@markiefufu]

We are in the process of moving from Minnesota to Arkansas and Jesse's videos just started popping up in my feed. I was playing one a few nights ago as we sit at my parents house in Texas and my son said I know him! Apparently he'd heard of him from TikTok before I did. We're both big fans.

For me, he has the same Vibe as Rocky Erikson (13th Floor Elevators) Really enjoy what this young man creates, he is genius.

[@Laura-nx4dm]

Jesse is the songwriter we need today. Saying the things that need to be said! Songs like DuPont, Paola, Whistle Boeing, Cancer, and Fat should be catalysts for change!

[@the1greko]

WAR ISN'T MURDER is for me already a legendary/epic song in several issues.
