  • Well done Matt Anderson. Good voice, good rythmn, good interpretation. I bet you this is OCMS favorite version. Love it!

  • Gotta love us east coasters!! What a beautiful voice and my god what talent!

  • Played the shit out of that guitar. Played the shit out of my ears. AMAZING !

  • I met Matt about 3 times in my Life and the Guy is a beautiful person

    

  • The most awesome solo version of this Song ever done.

  • Reminds me of Meatloaf.

  • love it bro...keep doin what you do...guys like you are my idols...hope to be on your level one day...your living my dream.

  • bad ass

  • almost sound like john popper rock on bro

  • Canada's hidden gem for sure

  • If I could go see anyone in the world it would be Matt Andersen.

  • @Melina0lou hi

  • Pay no mind to the haters. Seeing the haters is actually a great sign that Matt is getting the recognition he deserves. So, bring on the haters! For every one of them there are 1000 who truly enjoy Matt for the talent he is!

  • Stop complaining about his weight guys. The blues has never been about looks, its all about sound and emotion. He actually looks a lot thinner nowadays, which is great...but even better, he still sounds great. Matt does this because he has a passion for it, and he's damn good at it...that's all I need.

  • Matt Andersen is the best singer EVER!

  • this is the best of the best no doubt, beats the original, but for the most part all of you making fun of how hes fat, guess what bet you cant sing or play like this fat man now can you? so stfu.

  • I really like this guy's formula: cover an already overplayed & widely covered, famous song. That really took guts & vision man. I can't wait to hear your take on Brown-Eyed Girl, sheesh.

  • @FunzCrue I wonder how much, if anyone, gives a rats fuck about what you think. God forbid someone cover an amazing song that they like just because it's already popular and widely covered, and that they wouldn't want to disappoint some ignorant tool on Youtube...

  • @FunzCrue

    I would love to hear a live cover better than that...

  • @FunzCrue Wow, if you knew anything at all about Matt you would know that he rarely, if ever, play's this song live simply because it is so widely known and covered. He actually preferes to play his own music which, by the way, is just as good and is being played on CMT.

  • obesity suckz

    

  • Just close your eyes and listen thats all you need to do!

  • What is wrong with all you haters? NO he didnt write this song, he is singing the old medicine crow version, but he is putting his heart and soul into the misic he is singing, i dont see anywhere here him writing that he wrote this song... He is singing other peoples songs just like we do when we listen to the radio, all you haters need to grow up. MATT ANDERSON, your an amazing inspiration and i love listening to your music Xx

  • this is amazing

  • Omene123 You are a fucking idiot. What does it matter what he looks like? He has the balls to go out there and give people his heart and soul. You are a coward behind a keyboard.Go back to watching the Jersey Shore you ignorant piece of shit.

  • @HeartQuartersTV And I second this opinion of you Omene123!!!

  • everyone has good things to say.... did everyone just forget to mention that he is morbidly obese?

  • @Omene123 Is that what this is? A video about what people look like? I thought it was about a talented person. You have no idea who this man is or where he's been. Btw... did anybody mention that Omene123 is morbidly desperate for attention? He hasn't got any talent, so he tries to make himself feel like a big boy by putting down ot her people. Now that's maturity.

  • @Omene123 you know hes a million times more talented than you right? or did someone just forget to mention that..

  • Now I know what all the talk is bout Matt Anderson....he's Heart and Soul !

  • @mwjenkinz69 I'm from Alabama too. Shut the hell up.

  • i personally dont like canadians in general and id like to see him lose weight....in saying that its only so he'll live longer so we can hear more live shows and songs because he kicks fucking ass. i just wish hollywood would give him the credit he deserves in talent and not for looks or "lady gaga stunts".

  • @mwjenkinz69 after reading your post multiple times Im still not exactly sure why you thought the first 8 words were necessary. Im not being confrontational I just genuinely dont understand why you would write that

  • @deqwon27 to show even though im biased he sings so well that i didnt care...to make a stronger point moreless...im from alabama and the cultural difference is very vast.

  • @mwjenkinz69 gee, one person who doesn't like canadians versus about 5 billion who don't like americans "in general" - ever wonder why??

  • @mwjenkinz69

    What wrong with Canadians? We are your neighbour and since 9-11 are treated like terrorist . We along the border have a long history of being intermarried and don't forget the Cajuns they are probably my cousins as well as yours. There have been many other Canadians that have worked there over the last century to give you what you think is truly American. Just remember this the only real difference between the USA and Canada id the NFL and CFL, By the way my wife is American!

  • he has the best version by far great voice

  • You are a very good vocalist and guitar picker. Very good show man.

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!

  • your amazing. i love you

  • I would love to know how to get a copy of Matt's version...whatta musical genius he is!!!

  • @Amanda01ification  you can actually get it on iTunes :)

  • You can actually get Matt's version on iTunes :)

  • @Raychil8 how? when i searched for him nothing came up.

  • @MrAjg32789 at least for wagon wheel

  • Awesome.

  • Matt Anderson,

  • awesome cover. great singer and gutiar. what dose he say when he is headbanging?

    "This really freaked people out in Saskatchewan by the way" referring to the head/hair rocking

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you Matt Anderson. YOU made my day when I found this performance while browsing the net. THUMBS WAY UP!!

  • OCMS does good but this kicks ass.

  • i learned this song on guitar before I heard this guy.... I can't sing - trust me - and can't play half as good as this guy!!! this guy completely nailed it!!!

  • :) Fantastic!!!

  • OMF I got chills. <3

  • What a sweetie...awsome talant & personality. Love this guy!!!!

  • best...thing....ever

  • Absolutely amazing - maybe Matt consider a new agent!

  • I want to party with this man!

  • Outstanding.

    

  • When you have a great voice, you have a great singer

    When you are awesome at guitar, you have a great guitar player

    When you can write awesome songs, you have a awesome song writer

    When you have all three, you have Matt Andersen

  • @UFCMLBNBA I 1st seen Matt open for the ECMA's at home in Sydney. My sis took a few of us. Caught him at the Casino free before he took right off, and seen him at the Rebecca Cohn with Mike Stevens Great harmonica man, to see both of them was a real treat. Ever since seeing him handle an acoustic like some can't even manage on an electric, all over the fret board and givin' er? I was totally blown away ever time I seen him play, and if all goes well may get to see him twice this year!

  • @UFCMLBNBA

    he didnt write this song

  • @Dudechill123 DUH! And where exactly did UFCMLBNBA say he did? Maybe you could search out a few of the songs he did write. Such as: Bold and Beaten, Round and Round, So Gone Now, If I Can't Have You are just a few GREAT songs he has written. In my book, that makes him 'An awesome song writer' just as UFCMLBNBA said.

  • @earnhardtsbuddy Couldnt have said it better myself. Named all my favorite songs he has written. One other I really love is Broken Man. Amazing songwriting.

  • @UFCMLBNBA youre dumb. This guy didnt write this song. Its a fucking cover. Idiot. Retard. Dumbshit. Fag

  • @Jiggerman20 why so much hate

  • @UFCMLBNBA he is an amazing song writer, but unfortunately he didnt write this song :(

  • @UFCMLBNBA He didn't write this song. It's better than the original, but still not his.

  • when the video first started i was like what is this?, then he got fancy and went, okay, he's a really good guitar player, then he started singing, and i went "HOLY CRAP, this guys good!"

  • i want this tune with matt singing it played at my funeral...

  • this guys has thunder in his hands

  • How could anyone dislike this video? This man is very talented! Hope he get's discovered one day.

  • @Odawg5555 anyone that doesnt like this man as a musician wouldnt know music if it jumped up and slapped them upside the head, he's amazing, if you havent, i seriously suggest seeing him live, helluva performer :)

  • i'd kill to grab a couple guitars and sit down with this guy and play guitar!

  • six people forgot to wear their glasses when rating the songs and hit dislike instead of like

  • Best ever. Makes my heart beat to the tune of the song.

  • luv this!!

  • saw this guy live. soooo good!

  • man, fucking good.

  • he can do anything at anytime in a a tune, be funny be powerful, playful, he can stand the littlest hairs on your back up. He is the best performer I've ever had the pleasure to clap for. Bar none. GET TO THIS GUY LIVE!!! and add promotion in everyway you can.

  • So at ease, so relaxed, and so goddamn convincing. What a performance

  • The East Coast of Canada, has a very rich and deep, really vibrant music scene. If you were stuk on a rock in those weather condition, trust me., you'd learn how to sing and play a guitar too. Matt is a new find for me, he was on CBC on Sunday, he had just returned from winning a big blues competition in the States(lol my last comment about competition in music, on Matts Country Roads).

    Les all hope that Matt keeps getting the recognition he deserves so that he can keep making music for us.

  • Who is this guy? And why isn't he well known? He'sF**kin good!

  • this man has truly inspired me. i wouldn't sing the way that i do today if i hadn't seen this video.

  • AMAZING!

  • holy shit! this is better then the original . this guy rocks

  • no shit this guy is fucking bad ass

  • Canadian Idol, morelikeit. And besides - why would he do that? You have to sing all of the songs they write for three years or something like that.

  • go on american idol!

  • This is incredible.

    Being from, New Brunswick, I'm proud of this guy. <3

  • well this was so incredible i had to log in just so i could comment..........!!!!!!! frickin brilliant and frickin awesome..........loved this! what a performance, had the audience so into it, enjoyed this so so so so much so!-thought just once i could just sit backand just relax and listen......but this was just too damn good to not comment on! wowwow wow wow wow! and it takes alot to wow me anymore!excellent playing and excellent voice & performance! absolutely A++++++++!

  • @justcallmethelma ... so love matt anderson ... hey! Matt when you  coming back to Baddeck

  • i bet his neck hurts

  • Are you fretkillr?

  • Love it Matt! Go man!!

  • Amazing, Simply Amazing ! Rock On Man !

  • I love Matt Anderson. Breathtaking voice, and such a unique guitar style.

  • This man needs to be signed so he can blow up. He is simply amazing.

  • @CalGSR99 I think he already has blown up!!!

  • i surprised myself @ how much I fell in love with this version... never thought Id switch version favies but low & behold! lol

  • Great cover of an amazing song! I'm jealous of your picking speed.

  • Matt Andersen is the best. Everytime i see him at a festival he always steals the show, and is hardley ever the headliner. Odd world we live in.

  • Thx for being with us at the Lunenburg Folk Festival. Are you performing at Harvest this year?

  • Dude...come to Kentucky and rock this out. UNFREAKINBELIEVABLE!!!! I havent wanted to jump up and rock out to a song like I just did...EVER!!! I am blown away by your skill and natural talent. Thank You for making my night. Do you have a CD?

  • Hi Matt, LOVE YOU, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US.

  • @Barbie7able ok i wont

  • This Guy is Awesome man and a great song

  • Really dig it bro. All I can say. Dig it.

  • Successful Troll is successful.

  • @MutR Tell me..what does that comment have to do with talent? Stick to the topic. I guess when you have nothing relevant to say you resort to attacking appearance. Pretty small mind you have there.

  • @MutR. I couldn't agree with @nfld... more. I just listened to 10 seconds of Jeremy McCombs version and it is awful. Really awful. I feel a little sick for having watched it. Is there any way that I can get those 10 seconds back, b/c I could have spent it doing a number of things better.

  • i like it, but jeremys version is better.

  • @MutR This I have to hear.. I have to hear a version better than this. Whats the link please share!

  • @nfldman1976 If you haven't already, check the other Matt Andersen Wagon Wheel video at the right, No 2 under Suggestions. A much cleaner, clearer version

  • @hughvane Yeah I have seen that as well. Doesn't get much better than that does it?

  • @MutR Oh sweet jesus do you mean a guy by the name of Jeremy McComb??? If thats the case please stop listening to music forever, because Matt has more talent in his baby finger than that other guy does in his whole body!!

  • Greatest!!

  • I covered this one night, Felt guilty for not being as good at the picking as him lol. what a song what a guitar player.

  • damn that boy can pick that guitar!!!

  • Oh my GOD!!!!!! You really rocks!!!!

  • as a musician who likes to cover this song, i wish i had even a sliver of this guy's talent. or at least the chops. wow.

  • Best version on Youtube!!!!!!

  • @PsycholoFist

    Best Version PERIOD!

  • Great Performance..Love How The Crowd Backs Him Up, Anyone Know Where He Plays Next?

  • @xxThePeasantKingxx

    He plays in Saint John, NB, Canada July 8th 2010 at the Salty Jam Music Festival

  • amazing!!

  • easily my favorite version of this song! this guy is unreal!!!

  • This guy is insane look up his song the way you move on here and bold and beaten

    He has a reached a level of talent that few people ever reach .

  • fuckin right!.....gave me chills

  • i am so upset about issing this when he is at brock

  • he came to my school today!! it was absolutely fantastic!!! :D

  • he came to my school today, i usually laugh at these concerts, i was attentive the whole time, great job man

  • What soul!

  • OH SO GOOD..................

  • Wow. Just wow. I stumbled across this and I'm ashamed to say I haven't heard of him before. This guy has the chops. Guitar and vocally. I'm a musician and let me tell you- this dude has it together. Absolutely love this!

  • better than the old medicine crow version

  • I love this guy!! :) Amazing.

  • I love this guy. I agree. Should have been at the Olympics. Awesome talented musician with a great great voice.

  • @nolocus dude I couldnt agree with you more!!! Where was the hip and bon iver and great lake swimmers and feist and arcade fire among many more.....This is the first time Ive heard this version and it fucking rocks! Totally dig it dude, keep up the good work!

  • If you like this, check out "Obadiah Parker"

  • best cover i ever done did hear

  • who would dare give a thumbs down to this vid? shame on them.

  • Such an awesome amount of feeling went into this song, I wish that I had been there to see this performance.

  • you rock man, loved your video.

  • WOA! 2:00 ! 2:47 !

    this guy makes me want to poop in the street! in a good way!

  • WOW you put your heart into that one Matt

  • holy sheeet this is efn awesome! very inspirational Matt, not only can you wail on that there guitar, but you got pipes too bro I'm a new fan of yours, come to dallas or anywhere close and I'm there!

  • Congrats on the 100,000 views, however I believe with the talent of this guy it should be at 30,000,000. If your thinking "its only a cover" just listen to his original stuff you will be in awe of this guy...simply the best Matt, simply the best!

  • ahhhh i love you!!!!! do you have a cd? where can i buy it????

  • @nygiants5787 You're in luck. :) 3 "w"s, then a dot, then "stubbyfingers", then another dot, then "ca" is his Web site.  You can hear more tunes, and buy them, from there.

  • Best version of this song that I have seen thus far!! He's seriously talented.

  • this is really damn good

  • Just to echo everyone else... WHY is Matt Andersen not a household name?

    Will definitely be looking out for tour dates in Ontario... wow. Just great music.

    And, nolucus, I agree... I was disgusted with the show of Canadian 'musical talent' at the Olympics (with a few exceptions).

  • keep it up bud

  • sweet jesus that man can sing...not only that amazing guitar player as well!! He should have 30,000,000 views and be famous. Better then anything in his genre on the radio today by far!!

  • the world of music needs more matts. i hope he reaches the amount of fame he wants but i hope it doesnt get to the point of constant criticism because ironically it seams the music business ruins music. any way on a lighter note... come to America!

  • This guy should of helped bring in the closing ceremonies at the Olympics this year...can't believe soulless trash like Simple Plan and Nickelback were chosen to represent Canadian music.

  • Amen!!! I saw him in St. John's last year and he was amazing. People like this are what music is all about. Makes you wonder why some other people are rich and famous when they don't even have a fraction of the talent that this guys has!

  • @nolocus For sure

  • hes a friend i love this song i met him and stuff my mom and him are like best friends
