Brushy - pretty amazing  guy.

I enjoyed that EB.

EB

That song and performance by Jake Brugg just vaulted into my list. It is incredible. That is one of the most beautiful songs and performance I've ever heard.

He builds that song up from the first note to the ending.
A different voice for sure, but mesmerizing.

Loved his finger picking supported by the background strings and vocals.  It was frigging great !!

Thanks for sharing that one - I hope everyone gives it a listen.
These are the lyrics to it if anyone needs them

I'll wait here for you
For I'm broken down
I'm coming down this town
For my heart lies
Far and away where they took you down
Let them over to your house
Where I'm broken
Down by the people if they let you breathe
Don't give a damn if you still can't see
Still my heart beats
For you have become
All I lost and all I hoped for
But I must carry on
Always one, never broken
Run to the lobby where I saw you try
Don't give a damn for your reasons why
Where soul feels
Down in the valley where the church bells cry
I'll leave them over to your eyes, woah
I am one, I am one
Break story of peace and love
In a future, bright
Sacrifice came around
Never broken
Down by the people if they let you breath
Don't give a damn if you still can't see
Traveling a street that I did not go
Wheels locked on to the winter lull
Down in the valley where the church bells cry
I'll lead them over to your eyes, woah
I am one, woah
I am one, I am one

These aren't hits - but holy crap would I have loved to be sitting at this table singing with these superstars when they were young.
Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell   (and Bill Callery - one of Willie Nelson's co writers on many songs)

Peatle

first of all - that video - amazing animation.!!

That song is one of the best songs ever written !
the opening rift is is so good - seems godly.

As you can tell - it is one of my favorite songs of all time.

as for the All Blacks -  this is incredible.

I think it would be awesome if one of the NFL Football teams did this on opening day  - it would shock the world!
the only thing with the Haka - you have to be good enough to back that up !!

Thanks for sharing.

Mojo

Thanks for doing this cover. Sounds great to me. 
I appreciate that you took time out of your schedule to record it. 
It's funny how when I hear you play it I thought of a couple lyric changes as well.

It was a little faster tempo than I expected, but I loved the style you played it in and your Texas voice just adds to it.

I am envious of your talent, but thank you so much for sharing it .

BTW - you forget to answer my question - do you ever play gigs in Austin ?

Thanks again
Jim     

Peatle that was a real good video - and especially excellent at pointing out all the things that guys like him and Phill can do without batting an eye, that I will never be able to do 

and I know what Phill is gonna say and he is exactly right !

They put in a billion hours of practice - and me - not even close.       

Baha Easy beat !!   
Cheers!!!     

Good one Peatle   You are sage for sure.   Nice that Marie joined you on such a cool song.     

Ed does a lot of work for charities, big donor to cancer research.

as far as his music - he has some real nice songs (31 top 10 hits) , and some album fillers, just as all the rest do.
His new album however called " Subtract"  came out this past May - and it was different.  His wife Cherry had a cancerous tumor develop while pregnant - and they could do nothing about til after the child was born.  All went well, they welcomed a baby girl (Jupiter)  and then had the  tumor removed and she was cleared of cancer - but had to undergo some weeks of radiation - she is cancer free.      He also had one of his best friends, Jamal Edwards, die unexpectedly (cocaine and alcohol mix)at the age of 31.
He said it changed him - he threw out over a hundred songs that he had written too choose from for the album - he said ....

"For the first time I'm not trying to craft an album people will like, I'm merely putting something out that's honest and true to where I am in my adult life.

"It's opening the trapdoor into my soul."   "I wrote without thought of what the songs would be, I just wrote whatever tumbled out. And in just over a week, I replaced a decade's worth of work with my deepest, darkest thoughts. ( he went into depression for weeks)
he said " this album was written against "a backdrop of grief and hope".

one other thing ....
He found out that a young woman with downs syndrome was getting married in the USA and he was touring near that city.
He surprised her and her husband at the wedding  reception and played " Thinking Out Loud" for her  - took some pictures with her and her family - - and then left.

The album Subtract  has become one of the fastest selling albums ever.
I do like him better than the rest though due to his compassion and personality.
