Willi Carlisle: Full Show

[@Willi-Carlisle]

Thanks y'all for listening! Don't be strangers, please.

[@awduback]

What a treat, Willi. Thank you!

[@McCumbo]

Thanks Willi. Bring your folk to beautiful Wales, UK one of these days. We'd love to have you.

[@joshuajohnson8991]

dude as a fellow Arkansas boy, my hats off to you. i rode trains, traveled for years. Seen a lot of players, your one of the best Ive ever seen! Please dont ever stop. Tulsas last got me in straight tears. So, so good

[@TouchDirt]

Please make it on down to Florida again.

[@FondelMikeRotch]

A hollar from Canada, ty good work.

[@haileyelliff1826]

Angles always makes me cry like a baby.

[@yourethelobsterwrong]

Willi this was beautiful to behold. There's somethin in the way you sing and see the world that speaks to my soul and makes me want to live and participate rather than stay checked out like an overdue book. I broke down in tears more than once watching you play this show, and I hope somewhere down the road I'll get the privilege to weep and sing along with you in person. You are truly a treasure, thank you and yours, and thanks to all the folks at the Laurel County Public Library for bringing this little bit of light into the world. G-d bless you all

[@zachb8012]

This man is an amazing songwriter. I love hearing new old time music. I am so glad I stumbled upon him. My daughter and I have been watching Willie Play all night.

[@chuck849]

Willi is quickly becoming one of my favourite artists. A wonderful way with words and music. Looking forward to new music soon - much love from sunny England

[@PressurEagle]

Hey Willi. I've seen you play out a few times and I love your music. Just wanted to tell you that this has become my all-time favorite KZbin video. You're the best! ❤

[@lukewikle4096]

Willi please come down to Huntsville Alabama sometime!

[@Daneh97]

I don't know much of willi's work. I've just heard his more novelty type of songs. So, when I came into this expecting that, I was absolutely shaken by Tula's Last Magician. I teared up in the last verse. Willi has to be one of the best songwriters alive right now. Thanks Willi. We need people like you to keep the magic alive

[@nopenadanowaynohow]

Yeah that one really it's hard

[@stickysubject]

Even though he makes some, shall I say niche, songs. I’ll always listen to a new Wili Carlisle song because of Tulsa’s last magician and Cheap Cocaine. Such good heartfelt music. His passion speaks louder than the music.

[@rileyswanson321]

Very talented man... your wisdom shines through you bright

[@tomlamiam]

Tulsa's Last Magician is so good. Thank you Willi Carlisle. Thank you for capturing this!

[@botulist1222]

I'm pitching the big tent for willi and he's always welcome in.

[@DingDongDaddyFromDumas933]

An update upon praying too the gods of yesteryear mayhap my granny from heaven blessed my city of Rochester Ny too host Willi October 30th with Amigo The Devil... This is a dream come true and I just became a avid fan of his upon seeing this video..... it's brought upon a love for bluegrass I forgot was inside me.... it's my roots who I am where my folks found joy during the depression hillbillies turning garbage into gold.... heck I can ramble anyways thanks Willi thanks be to laurel County library.

[@Willi-Carlisle]

thanks a bunch! I loved that Rochester show. We just booked it again for March next year. ❤

[@Extraabsorbant]

Hello from a new fan from Winnipeg! We'd LOVE to have you back! I have a friend that could help you book if you'd like!

[@2Cafegirl]

34:27 💕 Fave song

[@geraldbrown2875]

I first stumbled onto Willi’s music with his video Cheap Cocaine, then I heard Tulsa’s Last Magician been a fan since then. 🎸🇨🇦

[@jamesallen7560]

This is fun, I planned on doing stuff while listening but the music kept requiring my full attention.

[@bgabriel6532]

I love Willi, what an authentic musician. Thanks again to the Laurel County Public Library for producing these amazing shows. Keep up the good work!

[@wheninroamful]

Right, treasures to savor; so cool Laurel County Public Library put out these high quality looks into some of the best modern American songwriters.

[@paigeh1670]

"if I should cast off this tattered coat and rise into the sky. If we should find nothing up there but a vast and blue and echoless ignorance...." Good lord. Willi is an affecting individual.

[@cyncybz]

I really enjoyed meeting you here Willi-- referred by my internet poetry class

The lyrics for 'Angels' at the end I was born on the wide prairie With it's wheat so wild and strong I left my home when i turned twenny-one Still dunno if i was wrong 'cuz i know a girl down in southern illinois Who has me tangled up like kudzu vines One good look at her shinin' smile You can tell she'll never be mine And to tell you the truth, i miss all the laughs Of lovin' one another like sociopaths So i'm waitin', i'm waitin', i'm waitin', i'm waitin' For angels to carry me back home If i was a bird, i'd tear up my throat Throwin' songs across telephone wires If i was a dog i'd rattle my chain Let my handlers decide how i live, how i die I'd howl at the wind, and piss on the grass So they'd know who i was Ask me why i leave a dying trace It's either for fear or maybe because Well to tell you the truth, i can't go free: I need the master's leash more than it needs me So i'm waitin', i'm waitin', i'm waitin', i'm waitin' For angels to carry me back home And i think i've arrived maybe once every year When i'm laughin' with friends before we leave I think that i love you, i know that we're dyin... Why the fuck should that be what We alternatingly believe? What makes one feel holy makes another feel broke Like i'm mostly my hat, like i'm mostly my coat And that lovers will lie is one thing you can trust So what we ain't said might still save us I'll be ashes if you be dust And to tell you the truth, i think god's there still In a sweet lovin' westland over the hill So i'm waitin', i'm waitin', i'm waitin', i'm waitin' For angels to carry me back home So i'm waitin', i'm waitin', i'm waitin', i'm waitin' For angels to carry me back home

[@light_and_sound]

Dry County Dust...I recently had 1 Golden Comet Pullet survive a predator attack and recently laid my grandmother to rest with gospel songs. Digging this tune.

[@dustymetzgar3006]

Authenticity that resonates. . .

[@mxmolasses]

[@joshmajor8662]

Hot damn Willi!!!! This was amazing!!! I wish I could of seen this live!!

[@McCumbo]

Willi's always welcome in my big tent. What a guy.

[@MartinMcGarry-zy3nx]

Hi Wilie. I only just discovered you last week on late night radio here in Bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. And I was blown away. Dry country dust was the tune played and its magnificent. But Tulsa's last magician is tragically beautiful. Please keep playing and writing these wonderful songs.

[@LoopDaLoopTV]

I love you and yours Willi! Between you and Nick your music is literally saving my life right now! Thank you so much and I'm so very excited to where you'll go. Keep trucking my friend.

[@Anavahspromise]

Thanks Willi! That's the good stuff.

[@clumpy_cat_litter]

[@hmellas9948]

[@scrapeteel1999]

Go Willi go go go

[@scottgourlay1473]

Awesome!!! So original... I love it!!

[@hogmazek]

I must've come back to this video/show a couple dozen times at least. Snow on the ground now, need as much warmth as I can get. I had a little epiphany going thru cds, found a slightly longer sung version of (going) across the sea on a record I picked up from a busker in seattle, gregory paul. he's on bandcamp, def recommend checking out his play on house carpenter too. Can't wait for the record to drop man, n for safe shows to see ya out on the west coast

[@casperfalk59]

If you haven't heard it already I highly recommend checking out Matt Hecklers rendition of going across the sea.

[@crowncityramblers]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@davidlewis774]

Man your music touches the heart, really. You're one of my favorite musicians, lyically and musically. Sendin love from California! Keep up that wonderful folk music man
