Joe Henry - Trampoline

[2kiwis1aussie]

im a mainstream listener and i like dubstep and metal, but i freakin love this song. i can play it on guitar, and i dont like the prejudice that people like me dont like acoustic stuff. stereotype guys... think about it...

Great song -lucky to see him in the Spiegel Tent in Sydney a few years back and have a chat after the show - very personable and great songwriter.

My wife and I met him after a show in Toronto, he spent a good 45 minutes with us, talking about music and songwriting.

I will never forget that night, it was just perfect.

I had a couple of his CDs in the car and he gladly signed them.

He was very polite and gracious, a great guy!

[HannahAndNicoleTV]

proud to say i know him!

[helmsbarn]

an amazing songwriter,performer,musician & artist..what's tragic about the music "business" is that they shun artists in favor of bullshit...the world is a worse place because of it too..

I drove to Chicago to see Joe Henry. AMAZING!! Afterwards I wanted his autograph, so I waited a little while, then knocked lightly on tour bus. He opened the door & I asked for it nervously. He invited me in and found a pen. His wife, (Madooa's sister) was playing solitare. He was impressed that I drove from missouri to Chicago to see him. WOW!!! He said he wasn't suitable for mass consumpton. . . Humble, very kind, & personable musican I have ever met. He is AMAZING....

This one always sends me out into the ether; so fine.

[plrumme]

Could someone post who the other musicians in the band are? It's always nice to be able to see what the others are up to. Would be obliged.

[jimdylanyoung]

@plrumme I know on bass it is Jennifer Condos( Ray Lamontagne, Aimme Mann among others she worked with). Seated guitarist I believe name was Greg? and is deceased a few years ago. All I know.

was lucky enough to see JH in Ann Arbor a couple years back. one of the greats, for sure. LOVE this tune.

[chauntzu]

Such great talent almost always goes completely ignored by the polluted musical mainstream public. You can't force feed a musically handicapped public music of this quality...they prefer to eat the musical equivlent of unhealthy fast food!

So sad indeed!!!

[painxtreme]

If anyone happens to hold sway with the Great Mr. Henry, Please ask him to come to KC and make an old disabled fart very happy.  :)

[radioparadisiac]

love.this.

[Rmac2007]

such a good tune, hard to believe Page Hamilton of Helmet plays guitar on the album version

[e33State]

Brilliant song. I love his voice too.

[moltenone]

Joe Henry is one bad sum buck

[Tarotprincess]

Oops, last comment was meant as a reply to painxtreme's question.

[banglespear]

great track from a great artist

[RudyHumbucker]

Classic

[canyonsofremorse]

mind blowingly good

[SteveLeeG]

Saw this band at The 8x10 in Baltimore. I knew it was a great show at the time, but it's stayed with me for years as very few others I can think of. Jamie Haddad on keyboards was amazing.

I remember Joe saying, during the show, "It's always been my goal to have a band in which I was the worst musician and I've finally done it."

That's setting the bar pretty high.

[JddAcorn]

Great song. Saw Joe in Ann Arbor, the best show I have seen in 15yrs!!!

[cutemichigal]

Joe is great!!! He sang at our wedding!!

[painxtreme]

cutemichigal, how did you pull that off?

[rob068]

maybe she's his sister-in-law, Madonna.

[kjulietraven]

this is from his Sessions at West 54th performance, which i think was filmed in 1999. does anyone have any other videos from that show?

[hoppersmusic]

Just saw Joe last night at Jazz at Lincoln Center in NYC. He did this song as well as "Stop", 8 songs from the amazing new CD "Civilians" and a couple others. GREAT show!!!

[XanarchyX]

Top ten desert island song for sure...

[jnf1222]

Joe's the man....love his work.

[valwest]

so glad to finally find this. Lyrics to this song just blow me away.

[maxwell71]

Wow. Thanks...my favorite song of all time for 10 years now. Seen it once live myself...this version has great energy. Thanks again!
