i don't know who's playing that guitar, but it sure as hell ain't Dave Rollins, i'd like to her Gillian and Dave do this,... lose Bryan... Ryan or whatever

[rugshort]

@mccurryburg You don't seem to be very good with names dude. Who's Dave Rollins..., Henry's brother?

[mccurryburg]

@rugshort seems, to me that a rug ain't all you're short of, mister...lol...

[rugshort]

@mccurryburg I just didn't know who Dave Rollins is. Dave Rawlings on the other hand plays guitar with GW. lol

Helpless is not just my favorite Neil Young song but perhaps my favorite, period.  Love hearing it covered by these guys.

[littlestar3103]

love neil young, love ryan, love Gillian Welch this is about as perfect as it gets

[mrbamajama]

@littlestar3103 Totally agree I was listening to Ryan before anyone mostly because Elton John praised him and I trusted his taste.Also love Neil Young ,Have you heard the remake of his song Only love can break your heart on the movie Leap Year its awesome Gwenyth KILLS IT.

[orangedog1000]

I love that Ryan does one of my favourite Neil Young songs. That's cool that a NC boy can be influenced by a song like this. Sounds great with Gillian on harmonies.

[cruiser277777]

love the bottles rolling around in the background, set the scene perectly. ryan at his simplest and best

[noellennon]

@cruiser277777 This is from a live show. October 1999 at The Brewery in Raleigh, I believe.

[sandobrownski]

god this is one of my fav. songs. it reminds me of my boyfriend who passed on... and ryan does it amazingly.

[Jellirollbatman]

Amazing stuff

[jdubvol16]

Simple and unbelievable at the same time...

[phidelt52]

Is he using an Eb harp? Sounds really simple to play.......guess I may have to try it out.

[mandolaman12]

or maybe C??

[dylan2323]

@mandolaman12 F, C, G

[MmeCoffeone]

why is he covering all MY faves?

i love him. well, his music.

[jdmarcus59]

are mabey it was, i think i was thinking of someone else.

[ChetSexington]

Nah, that's definitely him.

What a beautiful "foockin'" harmony that is. Man O' man, he picks good country lady singers to collaborate with. Emmylou Harris, Welch. He needs to hit up Alison Krausse.

[sandobrownski]

@ChetSexington dont you know southern boys are good boys? ;]

i've been "helplessly" in love with one for 3 years. <3.....hes actually exactly where ryan is from in NC, but was born in SC <3

[jdmarcus59]

i dont know who that was but it was not ryan adams

[jdmarcus59]

obviously iam not and if you could read you would have read my comment above, and dont email me and and swear and me, thats rude and only shows that you are just a kid, oh sorry you are the ripe old age of 23.

[petermacinnis8]
