Willie Watson - James Alley Blues - Audiotree Live

[@garyturner1463]

Love this version. Written by Richard 'Rabbit' Brown and i think first recorded in 1927. Thanks Willie Watson for keeping the music alive and well. You are the man.

[@ToddlerJon]

He's a great musician.

[@ladyleesutter]

Thanks Gary, was just going to give songwriter credit, but you've done so,

[@ToddlerJon]

This is one of the best songs I have ever heard.

[@normlynd5625]

Willie is wonderful. AND they do good videos at Audiotree - great lighting, photography and sound.

[@giampietrocerolini]

Amazing!!! Love this song.......love this guy! Thanks!

[@YOITSJOE623]

If you haven't seen it yet, make it a point to watch "The Big Easy Express." It's a music documentary with Mumford and Sons, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, and Old Crow Medicine Show (back when Willie was in the band) all on a train and jamming for two weeks. All the bands sounded amazing but in my opinion, Willie stole the show. If you give it a watch you won't be disappointed.

[@RedRooster5881]

yes he did steal the show in that movie!

[@claytonjennings262]

That video in one of my all time feel good favorites.

[@brennosation]

lost count how may times I've watched it

[@jbwdamkot2812]

Check out Willie in Old Crow's rendition of 'Train on the Island' if you need convincing to go see the movie.

[@GrowLLLTigeRRR]

WOOT! This reminds me of my first wife. LOL! Check out Floyd Fest Willie.

[@johndavies4541]

Such great sound recording with Audiotree. Some of the best on You Tube.

[@richardvaughan9994]

I love as I listened to this peacefully in my backyard looking up to the stars, I could hear the floor squeaking beneath his feet

[@TheDjnatronic]

most awesome song ever

[@MrKernalangus]

Good music is still alive and well.

[@jameswilliams3241]

This child sings to my soul.

[@jsnetwork9995]

when I was little had the honor of getting a picture with this legend

[@StevieStirrup]

Man I love the way he "feels" the harp out as he's going. Every performance is a little bit different.

[@martinwall7297]

this guy loves to sing and play, thank GOD

[@jockyblade]

Coming to America next year to see willie all the way from Edinburgh, Scotland, obviously don't know his schedule yet, but any suggestions as to where abouts in your beautiful country I should think about visiting

[@jillilliantaylor6090]

jockyblade He will more than likely be around Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia. I am from that area and it's beautiful. My favorite place in the world is Red River Gorge in Kentucky. Great trials out that way.

[@intheworkseg6]

jockyblade He is doing over 11 shows in the uk this summer..you dont need to travel here to see him

[@jockyblade]

+TwasButNowAint yeah seen him in Sheffield and Nottingham, however always fancied Nashville would love to catch a couple of gigs over the pond

[@jockyblade]

+Jillillian Taylor thanks, I love America, going to try and catch him in Nashville i can, 21st birthday pressie for my son

[@jillilliantaylor6090]

Good luck! I saw him in Nashville over the summer. It was lovely.

[@davidmurray3528]

[@nicklester5883]

All I listen to is Willie Watson and Shawn James

[@nancy7167]

wow bad ass...

[@alexbalex224]

that guitar is beautiful. big ole frets perfect for those cowboy chords and has a really nice balanced sound--jealous haha!

[@OdeTheToad]

Yes Sir

[@heerschappouls7351]

Great...Top..Geweldig.

[@MrBobbyz24]

Willie has a cameo in that new Buster Skruggs movie on Netflix. It's pretty funny, he sings a little song with Tim Blake Nelson.

[@aliwhitwell]

Willie has a wonderful take on Rabbit Brown's song. :-)

[@lukewesterland653]

dang everyone talks about his voice but his harp playing is phenomenal

[@JoanDaBeast]

How the fuck would dislikes this

[@GrowLLLTigeRRR]

Maybe the lyrics described them a bit too accurately LOL!

[@pictyboy]

listened to johansen on your recommendation. each to his own, thought it was poor.. this has presence

[@CoorsBudMiller74]

I'm so high, but this is some great music....

[@williammyers5901]

Willie Watson just Paul Simond OCMS.

[@jonald3]

Does anyone know if this is standard tuning?

[@RobHutten]

Yep. C / F / G / C with capo on the 2nd fret.

[@richardjacobs8996]

And a C7

[@haynesfield1015]

13 people disliked this?! Were they looking for Florida Georgia line or something? 😒

[@karenronan4825]

Four people don't like this.....?

[@johnkane1972]

The only possible explanation is that Willie has four ex-girlfriends.

[@karenronan4825]

LOL!

[@tylerjermano8886]

+johnkane1972 haha fantastic!

[@jakebrow1]

+johnkane1972 he'd have a much better time if those girls were easier to please!

[@johnkane1972]

+Jake Brow well, it's not like he ain't a man ain't got no place to go. Dude just went to Australia! Looking forward to seeing him with DRM a few times this April. would love it if he snuck a solo show or two in there (Willie? You out there?). Seriously- props to Willie and the sound engineer for this stuff. Amazing.

[@MrDndguy]

A thumbs down had to have come from some high maintenance gash lol
