  • Shawn Mullins is incredible here; I wish I could take this video with me everywhere.

  • I've decided I want to marry him:)

  • i could listen to this on repeat for three years and it still wouldn't get old.

  • This is one for the guitar players, can someone tell me what tuning he is using please ??

  • @ridler72 When Mullins plays an open chord it sounds just like a G-major. So just tune your guitar to open G and that should be right.

  • @ridler72 I THINK it's open G

  • A performance like this totally schools all the crap artists that are out nowadays

  • anybody who listen to the radio in the car from the 90's to 2000 will remember the course forever and they dont know in lol. play this song for that person who doesnt know the song or singer will remember the chours

  • You can't ask for a better show than Shawn Mullins live. I've seen him 3 times now and each time it gets better... Great guy too, met him at the last show I went to.  :)

  • Too many wanna be singers, composers and players now days, this guy is certainly not one off those. This song was great in the studio with a full band and just as great with just Shawn, the guitar and a lot of heart.

  • Incredible!

  • Going to see him in a couple of weeks in Woodstock. Can't wait!

  • 1 carton a day.

  • Wwoooaaaahhh he is AWSOME! So soothing. Makes ya feel the lovin...Good work Shawn. Come on back to Gunnnedah..xx

  • from a G ...  wow.

    great voice too.

  • AWESOME!! I play guitar myself, but watchin Shawn in this vid makes me think, Why Bother!! Fantastic.

  • love the voice

  • love the voice

  • His vocals are getting better as he gets older....amazing

  • Wtf! He's got the thing tuned doing a G LOL! I'd go crazy playing the thing like that!

    He's good... lol

  • @thedeadserv whats the tuning lol? each string pleaseee

  • @McAteeTyler iono,,, it just seems that it's making a G... just google it up...

  • @McAteeTyler Shawn Mullins is playing in open G. From fat to thin string D,G,D,G,B,D. Good luck!

  • Such a talented and gifted man. ♥ him!!!

  • What a talented and gifted man ♥

  • Isn't it sometimes that you see some people and wish you were that good?

  • THE best jack daniels jammin'chiilin'music there is...............

  • man hes so much better just on his own i wish he recorded a whole album like this.

  • and just before she hangs her head to cry I sing to her a lullaby...

  • Comment removed

  • such an amazing story teller...

  • 6 aliens got on youtube and voted dislike. Kill them.

  • Help! I was at Sydney concert and desperately trying to remember 2 covers he did. One was a Mac Davis song - My Town? or something like that, the other was called Al's place? I have managed to remember all the others, it's just these two have me stumped! Thanks

  • just seen this amazing artist at Queenscliff music festival in Victoria Australia. I walked out of his first song (because of work) walked past 15 minutes later as he sung this and thought that he was a local artist covering a radio (overplayed) hit. The wife and I agree, that we could watch and listen to this over and over and over... you get the idea.... I would love to see him and Charlie PARR side by side

  • Love it!

  • I really want thisguy to come to this town. Nobody alone with a guitar has ever moved me like Shawn Mullins.

  • it's true Shawn Mullins will for ever be "The Man"

  • his voice when he talk n hot goatee kinda reminds me of James-Hetfield.....dont ya think...????

  • @Zambodie88 exactly i was thinking the same thing

  • Shawn Mullins is the most underrated performer alive.

  • i need the tab for thiss!

  • @MHosch10 lol

    

  • look at this guy, in it for the money? don't think so! he takes the legs from underneath every nashville -artificial and/or everyone ever in american idol for that matter, just like that. amazing artist!

  • best individual performance on youtube

  • @golyg I CONCUR WHOLE HEARTEDLY! IF THIS IS NOT "THE BEST ON YOUTUBE", SHAWN MULLINS-TWIN ROCKS, OREGON IS...IF U HAVENT SEEN IT, PLEASE DO SO. IM 47 ALSO. GO SEE S.M. WHEN HE IS NEAR YOU, HE IS BETTER LIVE THAN IN STUDIO AND HE TRIES TO KEEP HIS TICKET PRICES AS LOW AS POSSIBLE ACCORDING TO A VENUE MANAGER I SPOKE TO.

  • Everyone who thinks they have talent should be forced to watch this.

    You don't dude.

  • those harmonics are a really nice touch, subtle enough to not jump out of the surrounding chords

  • One of the best live perfromances I've ever seen and I'm 47

  • @golyg have you ever seen Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Live at Luther College, Radio City or Las Vegas?

  • Love his voice his music his lyrics everything.Saw him twice never disapointed...

  • wow, he sounds really good.<3

  • Every singer songwriter who thinks they have talent should be forced to watch this. This guy is the real deal!

  • Awesome guy, met him and his wife about 10 yrs ago at Bumbershoot in Seattle. We were selling his records in a booth outside while he was playing inside, snuck in a few times and was blown away. What a talented, down to earth fella...keep pickin'!!

  • when he talks at points he sounds like jack nicholson

  • ---Ode to Dennis Hopper---

  • Unbelievably heartfelt!!!

  • I think he has a third testicle. Holy shit that's a deep voice. Guargle with gravel often?

  • This is great. I 'love' how he strums the verses. Amazing. Wish I could release that funky nasty stuff on my guitar

  • Love his voice

  • Can somebody tell me the opentuning of this song ?

  • @Duesenfried its in open G

  • best folk singer of this time...In concert he takes you on a trip through life...

  • Perfect! Everything right, lyrics, meldody, the way he does it. Thanks for this song.

  • Outstanding footage of this very talented singer songwriter. I've always loved this mans music. I remember the first time I listened to his first album, it was so inspiring, especially for songwriter like me. Thanks for sharing!!!! Mark

  • I really love this song! RAWR! :D

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!

  • Love Shawn Mullins, this song takes me back to living in Kansas City the summer of 1999, before I moved to California. Great song.

  • Your voice turns me on. :)

  • 名曲だぁね☆

  • Open G (DGDGBD).

    I haven't found the TAB, but "ianb4music" has a cover of the intro posted where you can see the fretting.

  • Comment removed

  • He sounds better live than in the studio, probably the only artist ive ever seen that does, and does anyone know what tuning the guitar is in? or have tabs?

  • Gorgeous.

    Nice Larrivee' too.

  • One of my favorite songs. Love it.

  • Oh my fucking God

    This is awesome

  • wow, too bad his record label doesn't post his videos...i think that costs him record sales. but it's their choice i guess.

  • it is hetfield!!!!! hahaha lol u always say that hammet11! thats too funny

  • it is man!! haha

  • Phillip Seymour Hoffman anyone?

  • Is that James Hetfield!? lol

  • i feel mesmerized.  this brings me back to a sweeter time.

  • Absolute class. The word 'stars' will never be sung in quite the same way. Brilliant!

  • wow.

  • this guy is awesome, he sounds amazing. nowadays you can't find too many artists who sound just as good (or even better in shawn mullins case) live than as their recorded stuff. thats raw talent right there

  • Kellar Williams brotha check him out, that man has talent

  • @justforfun728 u cant find anyone who writes music like this!

  • @justforfun728 That's because most performers don't think about the fact that they'll age... the "bullet proof" delusions of youth, as it were. Paul McCartney can't sign the songs he wrote years ago because they're for a voice before his current age. On the other hand, James Taylor and a few others wrote in a range that's as comfortable for them today as it was when they were in their twenties.

  • Like Nashville with a tan, I love living in Nashville but I don't see much of the tan.

  • he is REALLY good, thats alot of sound for 1 guy on 1 instrument! tremendous vocals too

  • Love His Voice Till death <3

    Beautiful Song ..<3

  • saw this man live... amazing. he sounds 10x's better live than on his album. true talent in the music industry right here sad he isnt as big as he should be

  • @clydeboii2k9. It's in G

    Gotta love those lyrics.

  • Best perfomance I ever seen of his

  • could some1 please tell me what tuning this is played in

  • just play it in standard. the song is in G, he just tuned it like that so it was easier to play while he's singing.

  • @JayLoftus actually he wrote the song with a lady friend of his who is a guitarist. She had her hand crushed in a work accident and cant play standard chords, but she can still do bar chords.

  • His rusty, natural voice is unbelievable.

  • its really great song...

  • This was my introductory song to Shawn. It came into my life just as I stepped off of a rock n roll stage and into the arms of the woman that walked with me into the next chapter of my life. An acoustic chapter and I hope she walks with me for the rest of my life.

  • great singer, great song

  • I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song BECAUSE of Shawn Mulllin's voice. It would be wonderful if he had a string of hits! He needs an agent to open the doors for him to do just that... I pray it so!

  • this is much better than the studio produced version-luv it!

  • awesom. Your acoustic is perfexct and your broken voice to.

  • nice voice and great song

  • @MrFlairdevils I sooooo agree!!!!!!!

  • what a song

  • This rocks.

  • This song reminds me of 'Fun' by Kevin Gilbert...just the way he does the verses

  • awsome

  • what a beautiful voice!!

  • just a great performance by a very awesome person!

  • Não canso de ouvir esta canção. grandes recordações e também grande artista

  • is that awesome or what?

  • he rocks :)

  • Love this man's music. " ,,, kinda like Nashville with a tan..." lyrics are wonderful. Excellent video.

  • I love his music, this man is amazing.

  • most of wish we could do one or the other!sing or play guitar like that!Shawn mullins does both second to none...goddam that was awesome.

  • second to none.?? thats a ridiculous comment to say the least

  • Saw him years back in Glasgow. Fantastic talent, deserves to be a household name.

  • This is a great song... lots of memories.

  • That the man with 5 star perfomance

  • great song ... great singer =)

  • That guitar has the perfect tone for his voice. I've heard him playing this with other guitars that did not sound as good.

  • this guitar is tuned diffrently, thats probely it

  • Open tuning. The key of G I believe. DBDGBD.

  • this song always reminds me of what I feel other people think of California when they come here from other places. It's a nice song.

  • simple song...love it...

  • im not too crazy about the verses, but i am in love with the chorus!!

  • Classic!

  • Amazing!

  • love this song wouldn't mind the video
