Seasick Steve LWJH The Banjo Song

[Zalamannn]

Man, you can't find this good and emotional music today...or so great music played by such old people

[MrMartinsla]

Raw Originality long live seasick steve

[MrGtmouse]

It's on the album "Man From Another Time"

[MrScreech62]

sure wish i could find the album version. can anyone help me?(:

[stargardenser]

watch this fellow live in 2010 what a night is all i will say

[animalian01]

think this one is great, try his,so lonesome i could cry

[puddelisa]

WHOT !*

This is a Gem.

And I'm a 1953'r.

[jjtbfour]

Best banjo song in the world!

[iaintheslaughter]

thumbs up if this makes song you emotional

[wayfarerpg]

Very nice. Live thesounds is even better.

[leeg331]

So much feeling in this song, Maybe this will be played at my funeral.

[johnhamilton08]

This is quickly becoming one of my favorites songs. What kind of banjo is he playing from what I can tell it looks like six-string.

[35TCK]

It really shows the absolute power that music can have. I mean just look. A raggedy old man thats wearing the most casual beat down clothing, playing an old banjo thats falling apart in the midst of a well dressed modern british audience, and he truly captivates everyone.

Music doesn't see social class or time or clothing status. Cause music is real. Just like this guy

[paulmc341]

I love this so much i only heard it on the Jona Hex film, the film was lame to be honest but this song made up for everything, as soon as i heard went and got that album 'Man From Another Time' brilliant.

[94GuitarLord]

3 people are the most jaded fuckers known to man

[Jugs95]

Can his albums be ordered in internet? i'd like to have these in physical form. Usually i download my music via torrents but i'd like this man to earn full credit of his songs.

[jan1035]

@Jugs95 Wow man you're so damn right. This guy is a real musician who earns it.

Great comment btw. Wish there were more people like you with their heart on the right place

[nit127]

does anyone have like the tabs to play this song

[DevonHomeBrew]

@nit127 look at his fingers and listen and u will figure it out

[likewut007]

2 people where so amazed by the awesome banjo tunes they pressed the dislike button...

R they are just retarded

[simonk512]

i love how he looks like he just remembers the audience is there after he finishes the song... amazing music

[animalian01]

it's also from the film johna hex

[kenny01622]

Finally some music with meaning, that wasnt just written to generate cash with little thought about meaning, just designed to appeal to the majority of tone death people who will listen to any crap

[JellyCoatedBean]

wow. this kid puts the joy, love and passion back into music, so heartfelt!

[berti87]

Check out any of the Third Man Record artists, they are all great and most not super commercialized except for Jack White's projects but hey its Jack White. Seasick Steve is incredible such a great artist and proves you dont need anything to produce good music!!

[juggernaut198]

There is just something about this guy I can't get enough of. So much soul, so much pain, its beautiful.

[PENS29FLEURY]

oh my god music to my ears good stuff

[mybktv]

Seasick Steve is a drop of flavor in a tasteless world! Music you can actually FEEL! Thanks for loaning him to us God.

[DepressedNOF]

Did someone have tabs for this song?

[whole27]

@tess57 so "god" made the LWJH show? "god" produces the show?

[quagmire475]

could you play this on a 5 string?

[riverofchains]

@tess57 exactly how i feel.

[xLittleCharliex]

Pure love.

I love that man.

[quagmire475]

what type of banjo is this? what is its tuning? any tabs online?

[terrorizing20000]

WOW

[dalekenjarvis]

I can't wait to get his new album from Third Man Records :-)

[tubecruser]

great song for true grit

[boogpatton]

Part of the Jonah Hex soundtrack ... congrats SSS!

[soldier312]

my neighbor died this morning in my arms... this song is...... ah... fuck

[dogcatcherist]

WHAT a tune i thought my ears were connected to my brain but this man has just tought them to conect to my soul

[MrHellion159]

where is the 50 thumbs up button?

[dunbar9finger]

A lot is said about his string-playing skills, but this song really showcases the fact that he's got a really good voice too.

[raurtom]

I'm only 22, and I expect to live for a looong looong time but I allready know that this is what I want to have played on my funeral... one of the most beautifull songs ive ever heard in my life.. (kindof morbid this huh)

[iaintheslaughter]

@raurtom its not buddy, its clear you appreciate good music

[DisturbedWolfPrince]

@raurtom not really since death is inevitable (i do not care if it is misspelled)

[tobyn123]

it is such an overwhelming feeling of gratitude to know there is artist out there that is as passionate, creative and talented. Seasick Steve, artist, genius, legend.

[kickalion]

SS is badass

[soldier312]

@kickalion even more badasss then the SA or hitlerjugend, right

[MrBassSlapp]

at the moment for me this is the absolute most beautiful tune i've heard the last 40 years. godgiven talent and soul. a very nice person, i'm sure! steve ... yo' ma man! stay healthy

[Bagelsforthesoul]

Most modern singers/songwriters - "My past was pretty tough and emotional. I broke up with the girl once."

Seasick Steve - "Yeah, I was a hobo."

And so music gets a man who actually knows something about the reality of life.

[Superhenki]

redneck awesomeness

[Gears182]

fucking raw power

[beepmotherfuckerbeep]

@tess57 I live in the US and the only time they air this show is this on some obscure station at 4:00 am. And they're reruns from a year ago. I wish we had music programming of this caliber.

[chuffer170]

saw him play this live in the O2 in brum was unbelievable what soul this man has :)

[IVIoIVIenTz]

lol found out bout dis guy from Jonah Hex

[arsecandle1]

seasick steve seems like one of the many few artists out at the moment who walks it like he talks it.

[neddywinks]

it sends a shiver up my spine but relaxes me at the same time its like a sort of music limbo

[Isaiah42069]

This song is haunting.. its amazing. if this doesnt speak to your soul. then you prob dont have one.

[rancatripa]

Those anyone have the lyrics of this song?

[Hellequin70]

I've yet to find a song by this man that I don't like and this one is good enough to give goosebumps; my new favourite I think.

[UncleSevvy]

Hero!!

[mikear666]

This man makes me cry with his every ,damn, song. Touching.

[greatollie]

i love this song!

[irkingaustralia]

u can see he wrote that song for sum1 he luvd, look at his face at the end wen he finishs n he realises hes in a studio

[MrQuackenbush]

Great song.

[hobobuckettre69]

@tess57 Its true that its nice to hear music that hasn't gone through the ringer several times, cleaned and sanitized, but you could remedy that easily by just going to live shows. It's fairly hard to sanitize a live show. Especially if its in a bar and the band is unsigned or new or something.

[Dillon7932]

Now that is the song I am going to play at my own funeral

[onyachamp]

@Dillon7932 but you'll be dead(spoken like the alien from star wars).that would be a neat trick though.

[quagmire475]

my new favorite song

[dazzybaby94]

banjos are so cool but whay under rated

[CaptianPiroxide]

way*

[kearnsy74]

I used to be an Athiest until i discovered seasick steve.

Now i know there is a god.....it's seasick steve

[CMalburn]

@kearnsy74 I started reading your comment, and thought "Oh no, this is going to be a stupid, sentimental comment by someone trying to link music and faith, but by the end, I was laughing! Things like that are the reason I look at the comments!

[whatwallace]

Is this on itunes?

[MrGtmouse]

Probably, it's off the album "Man From Another Time" if that is any help.

[whatwallace]

Ok cheers, i might buy the album, seasick steve is amazing

[BULLBRANDDAN]

anyone know how his banjo is tuned. Mine is standard but I can't seem to play this. maybee I'm just kack.

[siamterry]

@BULLBRANDDAN Sounds like mountain minor banjo tuning to me, fo sho ! gdgcd from the 5th to the first. Plays it nice and smooth.

[BULLBRANDDAN]

@siamterry thank you very much. im going to try and work it out straight away. Once again it's appreciated mate.

[completelyfree81]
