Shakey Graves - Word of Mouth

Shakey Graves plays his song Word of mouth.

Filmed on a Canon 60D, graded in Final Cut Pro, on location in a storm ditch on the east side of Austin Texas.

I would love to crack a beer or two an just sit and talk to him, shakey makes music for the soul who agrees.

[RemyThunderknife]

Imagine hearing this coming out of a storm drain.

When I first started listening to Shakey Graves my go-to were the audiotree sessions, but it's so nice to find that every time he records it live, it sounds entirely different. I have not heard two recordings that are alike.

Im at a point in my life where this has changed everything. I just got out of a bad engagement, im broke, i have very few friends. But i have one best friend. That's all i need, and i need to trust my creativity to take me where i need to go. I had heard this before, a few yesrs ago, but i hadn't experienced enough life to fully appreciate it. Thanks, Shakey.

I love how with Shakey Graves you don’t just have favorite songs, you have favorite versions of songs.

[nickwood]

how he explained perfectly what I look for in music

[FrankBayer-nhce]

The difference between lonely and lonesome is really worth some songs. Like it and greets from Germany.

[jenniferpitts]

Man he did such a great job with the lyrics. The song and video is fire...I've spent years listening to this on repeat

[truth]

My favorite version of this song. I wish artists recorded like this more. Sounds so much more authentic.

[mylittleindiegirl]

I can't believe how amazing and perfect his music is

[aehostetler]

I'd love to see him come back to play and record in this storm drain. Lots changed since then.

[chrisjohnson]

I just happened across this artist now I can't stop listening to his music way better than that mainstream junk

[suxix]

If you value the top, you're gonna suffer, son.



That line. What are you willing to give up for it?

[natalielee]

still one of my favorite videos of all time. thank you for your storytelling through speech and song.

[lancezeran]

Been watching this exact video on/off for like, a decade now. That first minute expository on somgwriting seems to hit me exactly where i love music as a whole. Every artist that has truly spoke to me does exactly what he said. What a phenomenal songwriter, man of words, and instill cant play that damn guitar riff the way id like to. Like someone else here said, its crazy when you have a favorite version of someone's song, and this is my favorite version of one of my all time favorite songs.

[chubbyjubjub]

The stuff he records outside of a studio is my favorite stuff.

[gregsanford]

[Butterfly]

Shakey is one of the most musical guys I have ever heard. And I've heard lots.
