[@JamesWilliams-eu5mn]

I could listen to him sing all day

[@chaleowin7732]

Why didn't this get more views and comments. Pure gold.

[@johndavies5023]

Probably because everyone got tired of the dreadful "yeah, sure" interviewer and moved on.

[@MrCard031584]

What an amazing performance. Thank you Willie Watson. Love the old school grass roots feel.

[@brianmaxwellcarr]

Man that was goood, thank you so much.

[@kevinconner3112]

yeah. sure.

[@Plafintarr]

you forgot "man"

[@bigbellyfyoy]

You listen to bad music

[@danielmorris3687]

Watching Willie playing banjo on the opening song it is pretty easy to figure how the term "clawhammer" for that style of playing came to be. This is great post. Thanks very much Audiotreetv.

[@thiago_3_m]

A high voice singing old folk country music. It souds greaat!!

[@harmonyBalance]

Thank you. You give me hope with your great music.

[@goosetit9841]

Lmao, if you read the comments about “sure” before you watch this, oh man, what a comedy special you will have my friends. What a hilarious piece of work this is. Thank the powers on and off earth for such a “real” interview. Stay healthy folks!

[@jennbamboo]

I learnt Stewball at primary School, way back when. It didn’t sound like this - uh huh Win Win. Willie makes it real xx

[@TheDaveyLately]

Both these guys are so spun outta their gords I love it haha

[@martinwall7297]

my foot is still tapping on hardwood. go Willie go!

[@ThunderboltWisdom]

Great stuff! 🤓👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎸

[@tedtederson9411]

Amazing stuff right here

[@christofury63]

Anyone here after seeing him in “Ballad of Buster Scruggs”?

[@leebenton7722]

Yup me. This guy is brilliant.

[@TheJmass87]

your about 15 years behind

[@TheJmass87]

@R. DaleNo shit sherlock. Willie Watson has been around a long time is my point.He used to be in old crow medicine show. So if you just heard of willie, yeah your'e a bit behind. Have a wonderful day, Im just glad people are listening to real music again.

[@Ihateopp]

Imagine getting butthurt when someone discovers an amazing artist through a new movie

[@tilemacro]

​@@Ihateopp This is the nature of the internet, everyone is agressive as fuck for no reason at all.

[@BorjaTG]

Someone knows which harmonics has Willie used ?? I mean which tune they have. Ty.

[@thecommongoodtube]

[@LootahTatanka]

What kind of hat does Watson wear? What do you call this style? Greetings from Germany

[@SuperMotherFunk]

SUREEEEEEE. YEEEAAHHHH

[@gaelenolinski3166]

so darn good

[@aliciadominique4285]

Bet on Willie pa! sure you'll win😉🎵🎵

[@dankinsler1930]

If they ever do another Woody Guthrie story they should go knocking on this guys door...

[@jamiewesson898]

why billy bragg already done it

[@garyhart6060]

He played the 2018 Woody Guthrie Folk Festival and will return for the 2019 festival.

[@wheninroamful]

He talks about his instruments, but WHAT kind of guitar is that? i can't read the headstock.??

[@wheninroamful]

Larrivee ... but what model... 000-something.

[@roneilken6668]

He has a signature Larivee model that can be purchased.

[@Coltivated]

Man, that's an ironic comment at 22:21 (ish) considering #theballadofbusterscruggs

[@goodday4221]

willie looks like jim carrey impersonating willie watson

[@edhynes2628]

This comment caught me off guard lol.....I was expecting more "sure" comments

[@wrongsquirrel9520]

Dang it...you’ve ruined him for me forever

[@tedtederson9411]

the wood floors sound amazing

[@benbarnett517]

sure.... YEAH. sUUre.

[@bstox]

Less small talk about smoking pipes, and more Willie Watson (playing and singing) ;)

[@brianstearskingnothing]

This shit is GREAT

[@timstark3312]

W.W. is a national treasure. Glad to hear him wail in voice & on strings here. So ... I guess the drinking game word was "sure," huh? I only drink Pepsi, but my veins would have been 90% full of glucose if I'd joined in. Yikes.

[@johndavies5023]

Jacob Ford Have to agree with you there. Couldn't watch the interview, just drove me nuts watching the cutaway to "sure, sure, yeah, yeah sure". It's a shame as Audiotree records music with fine technical finesse and authenticity. If only they could find an interviewer with the same qualities.

[@shawnhertz4538]

Three blind mice! Get real awesome job Willie!

[@slaninawasabi6442]

Please marry me, Mr. Watson :-D

[@patsometimes5065]

Hilarious to me he says "maybe soon youll bein a movie" he goes "yeah i doubt it" then buster scruggs comesout a few years later

[@mikekeefer5384]

Rock salt and nails hits different after a breakup. Day 2..

[@EastToWest3030]

America.

[@JamesWilliams-eu5mn]

Seven people don't like music I reckon

[@rextitude]

Wanna nother Adderall? "Sure!"

[@BriggsGuy54]

If Tom Petty went bluegrass.

[@mountainslapstick6170]

yea. sure. how annoying

[@maximusaugustus6823]

Unfortunately, you can't make money with this kind of music.

[@JzeroSG]

Interviewer is a major bell end.

[@frankcorrenti5941]

Cannot stand the way this mic jockey gots to put down Wllie every chance, like, "You can start your next number now, man." If it were me I would have walked out the do' right away. Don't take that from nobody, paid my dues, time he paID his back too. I'm gone.

[@herbalchicken]

I don't think he meant any disrespect. Just giving Willie a heads up that he's free to continue on with the performance. I'd imagine Willie would prefer not to stand around wondering if it's time to sing yet.

[@vincent4226]

This interviewer is a straight up clown! Love Willie though!!! Keep on picking my friend.

[@johnmclennan6673]

Why does he play such a poor quality guitar ?.?

[@danielmorris3687]

He is playing a Larrivee guitar and they are far from poor quality. Made by a master luthier from Canada named Jean Larrivee since 1967, I believe, though the plant was moved to California a few years ago. His guitars are very well respected by people that know quality instruments

[@Atticusthird]

John McLennan, I'm interested in why you drew this conclusion. Not saying this to deprecate your question, I'm legitimately interested.

[@garrettbabcock9024]

i was curious as well to the origins of his guitar. the tone seems to be very punchy and resonant in the mid to lows. and since he plays so close to the bridge it's hard to really get a full demo of it but i finally found out the brand and thought maybe there's an old om-1 I could find somewhere... nope. They're sought after and new ones are anywhere from 2k upwards of 4k.

[@stuartcostello7348]

Lol Jack White played an EVH at the Ryan last week. He’s killer

[@TheJmass87]

dog gonnit boy the hell ya talking bout?
