Gram Parsons Tribute: "Boulder to Birmingham" Abby Owens & Vic Stanley

[pjw2359]

Abby Owens is such a gift to the music community. She is the real deal in a world of seemingly talentless tone deaf performers. It has been challenging in the music world in the past few years to find a singer with a true voice, a sense of pitch and the ability to count to four consistently. Yes sir, Abby is a keeper. I am sure all of the musicians out there know exactly what I mean. God bless you Abby -- I hope you go as far as you want!

I mighta commented before but who cares? I gotta comment again. Girl you are AMAZING. I think Emmy herself should've sang it like this! this is emotional and visceral!

[Sooper8]

What a beautiful, heartfelt performance. I've been a fan of Emmylou Harris since I was 12, and now I'm 48. I've seen and heard this song performed live, by her many times, and by many other artists too. And I want you to know that your version is one of the best I've heard. Thank you. I wish you much luck and I hope you continue singing and sharing your beautiful voice.

[AbbyOwensMusic]

@mkwandb Goodness! Thank you so much! I just started my own youtube account today so, I'm new to this thing!

Your comment is very sweet and I appreciate the uplifting words so much! Thank you again!

[joanofarcwasatart]

WOW !!!!! AMAZING, THANKS FOR SHARING.

[AbbyOwensMusic]

@joanofarcwasatart thanks for listening!

[coy0te9]

She's singing it like a woman who's lover just died.

[AbbyOwensMusic]

@coy0te9 for some reason, I was very emotional that day :) thank you for giving it a listen

[coy0te9]

@AbbyOwensMusic

you listen to The Indigo Girls? You sound a tad bit like Amy Ray in addition to Emmylou, and I hope somebody who knows how has show her this video!

[richardwilson1234]

She has got a great voice.

[AbbyOwensMusic]

@richardwilson1234 thanks!!

[1011121314150]

Wow!! I don't know who you guys are but that was great!!

[AbbyOwensMusic]

@1011121314150 Abby Owens and Vic Stanley. We live in Macon, Ga with our 3 dogs:) thanks for listening to it! That was a fun day!

[dbelew]

Holy Moly. What emotion. I get chills at the end. Thanks for posting this.

[AbbyOwensMusic]

@dbelew Thank you for watching it!

[benfarley1979]

that is phenomenal.

[IStoleYourPotatoes]

I saw Abby in Birmingham last night. I was outside the bar talking to friends and every now and then I could hear the music well and thought I better go in and see what was happening as I didn't know who she was. Wow! I'm sorry I saw so little of the performance. I just listened to her cd's and they are incredible. If I get the chance to see her again I will be at the show early and won't miss a note. She is in the rarefied class of artists such as Patti Griffin and soon to be famous.

[AbbyOwensMusic]

@IStoleYourPotatoes I remember you!! That was so much fun! Metro Bistro right?? Anyway, thank you for giving my music a chance and boy am I glad you came inside!! Big hugs your way my friend- thank you!

[9910941482]

awesome playing

[hollyhawthorne]

She has a beautful, strong voice. Hope to hear Abby again - maybe in Canada some day.

[AbbyOwensMusic]

@hollyhawthorne I've been to Canada once! Abbotsville I think was the town. Maybe I'll get back up there one day to do a show! Thank you for your kind words!

[slownoman]

This is as fine a version of this gorgeous song as I've heard since Emmylou. You, Ms. Owens, have a shining future in music if you want it (I've been in the biz and it has a dark side). Not to short change you, Mr. Stanley: your guitar part is right and solid, and your harmonies are dead on. My congratulations to you both for this remarkable performance.

[AbbyOwensMusic]

@slownoman Aw thank you so much for this comment. I really hope I continue to get the opportunity to entertain people with music. I'm very fortunate to get to do it :) Thanks again, friend

[noushitaisa]

Yes! Very nice version of a classic song. You should be proud....

[AbbyOwensMusic]

@noushitaisa thank you!

[tomwyble]

that was beautiful...you two need to be making the rounds...unbelievable talent

[AbbyOwensMusic]

@tomwyble I'm trying!! Thank you so much! Hopefully I get to play a show in your town sometime!

[fataig]

What a beautiful voice you have young lassie. Lovely guitar playing also from Vic ....

Goosebumps you gave me listening to this great song by EmmyLou. From the wee Emerald Isle of Ireland

Dia Linn. [ God to both of you }

Namaste.

[AbbyOwensMusic]

@fataig I wanna go to Ireland! I appreciate you giving this a listen! Maybe I can make it over to Ireland to play a show or two someday...that would be a dream come true!!

[keitheeweithee]

Niiice. I've got to get back down to that part of the country. Lived in Fla. as a kid but have never gotten to go back.

[AbbyOwensMusic]

@keitheeweithee ah lovely Florida. I'm proud to be a native :)

[dtunzzlistener]

Beautiful and they sounded great together. Met her mom just the other day. Sure hope I can find more songs to listen to.

[kingerald]
