Malcolm Holcombe, Who Carried You, Rolling Stone Mag. ******

[heymama1]

After my mom died last January, I turned to this song. I knew it, and it was already special to me (before she died). But a few weeks after she died, I listened to it after a bottle or two of wine. I cried my eyes out. It was a release. Of course, God is who got me through my mother dying, but this song was part of releasing some earthly tears. If any of you have a momma, listen closely to the words of this song. No matter your relationship with your mom, the words of these songs will ring true.

Viewers - Please check out TennesseeShines video of Malcolm doing his song - Sittin Sad - recordeed live, backstage in their studio. Now, THAT is the real deal when it comes to seeing a live performance of Malcolm's. I think this is currently the best live clip of Malcolm up on YouTube. Great job TennesseeShines.

[heymama1]

I've seen him live. And hung out with him. He's like nobody else.

[greanteawoman]

@heymama1 I've been meaning to thank you for your comments, Hey Mama! (Couldn't resist calling your YT name, love it!). Yes, I totally agree with you about Malcolm standing out of the crowd. When I had my music publishing company in Nashville, I caught as much live entertainment as I could. You know by living there that I saw a lot of GREAT artists and songwriters. A lot of them blew me away, but none could touch the emotion I felt when I finally caught Malcolm at the Bluebird. NONE compared.

I've seen Malcolm play 3 times at Hippie jack's and each show was amazing. I'm listening to him on youtube and slacker radio and looking forward to someday seeing him again at Jacks.

[heymama1]

I live in Nashville and I've seen everyone from the likes of Guy Clark and John Prine to Bob Dylan, Steve Earle and Townes Van Zandt. I've seen Malcom live as well. He seems to have dropped in from another world. He is one of the most amazing singer/songwriters I have ever seen.

now I'm hungry too, your side bar big as that burger notes are as wonderful as the listening, ....:-) big smile:-)

[greanteawoman]

Now you've got me hungry too ... 're-reading' what I wrote about Malcolm's fine cooking, Laurie :-P What a hamburger Malcolm could cook! Of course, he's been able to answer 'his true musical calling' rather than cook and that causes me great happiness!

[cinderellalifestyle]

I only recently "found" this artist myself...he is amazing, and I immediately enbraced him, his sound, heart, songwriting is the kind most writers only hope to achieve, and nail! LOL,....really amazing--this one brings tears, immediate tears! LOL. Laurie

[greanteawoman]

Take a look at phillbe's channel and his capture of Malcolm doing A Far Cry From Here live ... THAT one makes me cry too ... wonderful song!

[SpeicheausWittenberg]

Thanks for the video...music is fantastic!

[cinderellalifestyle]

Hello, I just "found" Malcolm, never had heard him before. and was gripped..he is the real deal......yours was the only post I could find easy onthe eyes to watch--the others, live, and wonderful,but with jostled cameras. I love your slideshow...:-)Please check out my vid:" I got my Eye on" (the brick of cheese) ....tnx,..cheers, Laurie

[NifferAU]

I'm going to see Malcolm tonight in Opelika, Alabama. It'll be my first show. I am excited!

[greanteawoman]

Niffer - How did you like the show? A short report back would be greatly appreciated. Happy you got to be one of the 'lucky few' who was able to 'catch him' live.

[NifferAU]

It was great, I got to hang out with him and he was a truly nice and humble man. He has a beautiful soul and it was an absolute privilege to get to meet him.

[ibekickinback]

stumbled in and found this wonderful voice. thanks for givin your heart. went out and got a few of your CD's and each is a gem.

[PhilBe]

This is nice, I'm a big fan of Malcolm and greanteawoman has left some kind comments on my videos of Malcolm. I'm going to see him again Tomorrow (Feb 6th). I'll try and shoot some more footage of the great man.

[dobrav99]

I Love that Accent and that type of Lyrically Unpretentious! Great Job! Top Ratings from me!

[chukcanuk]

[RedKruzer]

I admire your work.

[Ottawarocket]

Just a greay song for sure : )

[rmstudio]

Once again a great view down memory lane... I often find myself down this very same frame of mind thinking of times past. What it was like, what the people were like. Were do you find so many incredible photos to make your videos with? Hope you are doing well.

[greanteawoman]

"Were do you find so many incredible photos to make your videos with?"

I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count - LOL. ;)

"Hope you are doing well."

Doing much better than a few days ago. Thanks for asking RM.

[mactheknife3453]

I saw Malcolm last night at Cafe Strudel in Columbia, SC. A wonderful night of real music. Everyone should attend a live performance whatever it takes.

[greanteawoman]

Mac, I am so happy to hear you enjoyed experiencing Malcolm live. There's nothing like it! Thank you for dropping back by and letting me know you were able to make it to the show.

[mactheknife3453]

Thanks for the introduction to Malcolm. He will be in Columbia, SC on July 12. I will be there. Thanks again

[greanteawoman]

Mac - I hope you get a 'quiet listening room' to enjoy Malcolm. Envy you ... wish I could join ya!

[greanteawoman]

Viewers - Check out PhilBe here on YouTube. He's the only producer I've seen who has managed to really capture the essence of a Malcolm Holcombe performance live. You'll almost feel like you're there in person.

Search - Malcolm Holcombe, A Far Cry From Here and then check out Phil's other videos of Malcolm. He's got 4 up and they're all fantastic!

[KeathGraham]

I don't know what I love more...the songs and artists you introduce me to or your very poignant and colorful narratives that go along with them. I'm almost 50 years old and don't know how Malcolm Holcombe escaped my radar all these years...as this one particular song really touched my heart and brought me back to warm memories of growing up in the south. I shall be seeking out more of his songs now. Thank you for the introduction. Thank you for posting this and all the other songs you post.

[greanteawoman]

Keath - Thanks so much for your comment. Malcolm is incredible, for certain. However, he is one of those artists who best translate live. A Hundred Lies is my favorite CD, followed by Another Wisdom. I tend to like the older stuff best because these are the CD's I've been listening to for years. The YouTube videos of Malcolm that are up really don't do him justice, IMHO compared to a live 'in person' performance. Check out Malcolm's, A Far Cry From Here, on YouTube. That is the best 1 I've seen.
