this has become such a feel good tune for me to fall back on, i just can't stop loving it each and every time i listen to it - my boyfriend thinks of it as 'my' song! so gutted i missed his performance at miss peapods in penryn!
I just love that Gregory took the money he made from this commercial and donated it to some great non-profits. Check out the post in the notes section of his website. Pretty generous of him!
once i saw the fixie bike i knew a bunch of fackin hipsters were gonna pop out of nowhere!! maybe this was their thought: "lets focus on a fixie in the snow, open an old upright piano and play music in front of it then you guys can watch me smoke outside for a bit because im hard core."
This version is generally way better than the slower version found in the McDonald's ads, although that version is not bad at all and is really good as a chillout-type song. It's just that the violins in this version totally won me over.

Hey so I know everyone does this, and I hate spamming, but could you please check out my channel :P My friends love it, but I just made my channel, and videos with low view counts barely ever show up on the search :/ Please help me out and check out my covers! Including Big Black Car :) It's such a pretty song, and I posted it for a friend, but I'd like to share it with everyone! I don't think you'll be disappointed!
Hey so I really dislike spamming, but I'm just a small town musician trying to get some sort of following before I start releasing my own originals! :D Among other songs, I did a cover of Big Black Car by Gregory Alan Isakov, and I'd really appreciate it if you checked it out along with the other videos on my channel! If you've spent the time reading this Thank YOU! And if you go to my channel Thank YOU x 1,000! haha <3
So awesome that Gregory donated all the money he made from the McDonald's commercial to non-profits that support sustainable farming. Check out his post on his Facebook page.
I heard an interview recently about the Black Keys turning down $200000 for a British mayonaise commercial while they were living out of the back of a van and how stupid they felt for doing it when their parents would have to work for five years to make that. As far as I'm concerned you do what you have to survive and support those around you and you're okay by me...
Isakov is magnetic. Highly under-rated, he is one of the few folk artists remaining in the key light. Although nostalgia, poetry, and talent are of little value in modern society, his style is rememberable.

I don't even care if he 'sold out'. If it wasn't for McDonalds, I wouldn't have heard this song, or any of his others. Which would have sucked.
