"Black Dub" in the studio - "Nomad Knows"

[mountjeff]

Only one word for this......Epic.

[vinnyque]

Guys! I am Brazilian and I met the band on the internet!

You are amazing! A sound delicious, it massages the ears!

Thanks for the sound, and congratulations on your music! It's better than the other!

WHAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST bless you always!

[lonkylaine]

Who's the three musqueteers assholes who don't like this?

[Fitchyanny]

SONIC ORGASM! Been years since i wanted to rush out like a teenager and buy an album from the store....in lay card, art ,lyrics ...the lot! SOLID :D

[morfeeene]

Awesome tune although wish these Youtube cuts made it to the CD. This raw sound is much better.

[TheFreemanuk]

Betty Wright.

[BoaZosen]

awesome.. I love the rawness of it

[polyesterrrbride]

ugh they're so good! i love the NPR Tiny Desk sessions too!

[SonyMusicCollegeDept]

Black Dub is so great! I saw them live a few weeks ago and the show was amazing! If you haven't listened to them, watch the NPR Tiny Desk sessions. So beautiful!

[sufjan1970]

So beautiful!

[midnightrebellion01]

That rhythm section is tight. Would love to have copy of this live version.

[JCFXSI]

Excellent work everyone involved.... Heard Daniel and Trixie on the Ron and Fez show and i've been waiting for this album. Great music great music... keep making it.

[FingersPlainview]

Lanois has that golden touch-this is really cool!

[MrBatama]

el sr blade .produce que los sonidos de la bateria sean un deleite

[acarebear22]

Daniel and Trixie are amazing together. If you all haven't heard the whole album yet, go to NPR and listen to it. So incredible!

[mervglip]

Daniel just has a comfortable ear with a tasteful sense of / for adventure. He never fails to arrange musicians and set them up for their best efforts. Nothing but great talent here. I love it!

[nominaohm]

this song made me cry with joy .Now i dont know this band but im very proud of them

and love them!!!!

[brucestock1]

I appreciate this song more and more with every listen

[ECrefugee]

What gets me about this is it's a live performance not just from the band but also from video director Adam Vollick. Everybody's gotta do their jobs simultaneously. Adam has to remember not to trip over wires, who's gotta be in the next shot, and things like that -- all while not getting in the way. These videos are all amazing, and it's not just the music or the intensity or the soul -- although there's a lot of that going around for goodness' sake. I love this stuff.

[South4TheSummer]

I think I just died. I want to be her. She can obviously do everything.

[deelightandbrite]

Mr. Blades is the Maestro. Daniel Lanois is another Maestro. They're some team. Slammin good.

[worxforme]

Live un-dubbed and great.

What more could you ask for?

[pdautg]

too fookin cool 4 skroooll...; )

[maxquad7311]

i love this

[bossestudios]

Insanely good! It has a sense of modernism yet its "classic" at the same time!

[bizthin]

Killer line up! Trixie makes her Dad proud!

[NeoFauve]

Anybody know if Trixie is the late Chis Whitley's daughter?

There seems to be a resemblance. She looks a bit like him, and there might me a groove DNA at work here too.

Good stuff.

[cmaddog00]

@NeoFauve Yes, that is Chris's daughter!!! Saw her with Chris back when she was like 12 yrs. old....Incredible even back then!!!

[MaartenIB]

@NeoFauve. Yep, she is.

[loudenm]

So let's see ... in her early 20s, Trixie's a multi-instrumentalist - plays guitar, drums and keyboard - has a voice for the ages, and is heart-achingly beautiful and sexy. Yep, I'm sure of it, she's a total badass.

[Truthzilla]

@loudenm Yup. Hopefully, if she becomes stupidly rich and famous, I can get a job as her assistant boy toy or something. And, love the Black Dub stuff. Great musicians recording live in a good room, not an auto-tuner or drum sample in sight. Completely spits in the eye of today's hyper-artificial music.

[drum817]

DAMN !!!!!  GROOVIN' !!!!!

[Gwyo]

Trixie should wear some kind of shaker-wristbands!

[tork9p]

this is an incredibly raw yet smooth jam. love it. keep it up.

[grrrroink]

I guess those guys don't like high frequencies very much. ;)

[agilblom]

I want to marry that woman.

[Edside0]

Hope the hear news from the band soon!

[MrNastyzProductions]

this video is awesome until 5:01. After that it pretty much sucks

[degas]

@MrNastyzProductions

awesome.... well said sir...

[qwertygirl100]

Wow.... what a great sound.... the best I have heard in years.... love it!!!

[qwertygirl100]

Wow, this is great !!!  I can't stop listening to it. I keep coming back to hear it!! It just get's better and better....

[TobiasHaehnle]

Damn... I really like this Song. Especially when Trixie plays the Drums

[webman55]

agreed. best stuff i have heard in years.

[MaartenIB]

Nothing beats an analog recording. This is music in its purest form.

[chewie4272083]

killing myself trying to get an mp3 of this tune. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

[General9313]

@chewie4272083 Rip it using Zamzar

[chewie4272083]

@General9313 HERO OF THE DAY! worked like a charm. thanks a million.

[General9313]

@chewie4272083 No problem dude. Haha

[78hiwatts]

this is too good to be true. anyone who says music isn't any good these days is living a sheltered reality. I've never heard of Trixie (daughter of Chris, wow) Whitley before, what a talent, and gorgeous too, Daniel Lanois is amazing.

[Ashluke]

Questa ragazza deve avere una nera dentro di se!!!

[thetubeinsideyou]

funny..your right.

[angusyoungsshorts]

where does the line "i feel good just like i knew it would"come from

[brock786]

@angusyoungsshorts James brown baby!

[zwiebackdude]

Can't wait to here the album. Great song!

How do you get those delays on the guitar?

[StromboliKicks]

geez... this is so great! I find this girl, by searching for the great brian blade, and glad I did it. great voice!

anyone know what drum is this? lovely drum sound.

[MuskokaLad]

Its cuz they are using sickening mic's and its mixed with a pretty good ear.

It looks like an old ludwig kit, gretch, or slingerland. Definately a great sounding kit to work with.

[RTFan52]

It is a great drum sound. The drums are vintage - the toms look like they have old Ludwig badges - you can get a better look in one of the other videos here on Youtube - the color one. The badges are out of focus though, so I could be wrong. The badge on the bass drum doesn't look like a Ludwig, and the tom mount doesn't either, so not sure exactly - it might be a mixture of different brands. It's a huge bass drum though ... I'd guess 26"

[happx2]

pekna pisen , a ty dvojity bici ...dobry . PET HVEZD .

[goodsey123]

the best music i have heard in years. most heartfelt and honest all the way around. who can deny this groove, voice, lyrics...?

[oldsoftee]

Absolutely insane groove, with some of the sweetest drum sounds I've heard in a long time. Nice work, Dub!

[Frederic83130]

BIen sur ... epatant !!

[OGNOGN]

Its like everything I love about Lanois solo records, watered down and regurgitated, with generic white soul singer.

[BERSERKERpoetry]

That's probably the furthest from what this is.

[curiousnomad]

Now that's a happening groove with a killer drum sound. Blade makes it happen.

[oldsoftee]

Yeah...the drum sound is scary good. But Mr Lanois' studio skills have a fair bit to do with that, too.

[jalgjalg]

One of the most moving moments of the year for me: this summer, on a sunlit bench across my house in Ghent, mr. Lanois on guitar and Trixie rehearsing in open air, just like that... unreal, unexpected beauty.

[darrennorton36]

that is bloody lucky, always been my ambition to see Daniel Lanois live!

[redbird5a]

Nice! I feel like they should give Trixie some Maracas, she's basically air playing them heh. Love how she jumps on the kit at the end to groove out with Blade, epic! This band is going to be badass!

[doubletracing]

i like daryl's : " nomad knows" :-)

what a great song !

[laurayalejandro]

Awesome. LOVE IT! =)

[jipes]

Love the band and the great feeling of the music is it gonna be on a Black Dub release or on the Trixie Whitley CD ?

[godshavethequeen]

There's Trixie's solo stuff and there's Black Dub, so this will be on the Black Dub album , which will come out in March, normally. Trixie said in an interview there will even be a second album later on, this year!

[jipes]

Thanks a lot for the infos ;o)

[citizen059]

Outstanding work...

[TimeIsLikeAnOcean]

Intro on guitar rocks!
