Got to tell ya buddy . I LIVE JUST 8 MILES outside of Galesburg in south a knoxville and east a Abington And if you ever make it back this way your welcome to stay. I'm far enough out in the sticks and have enough property you can play Galesburg and stay here for free. Well maybe a song.🤣 Been listening to you for a while now. Wish I'd have known ya Back when you were here.
It was a great idea! Please do more stuff like this! I love your music Willie, if I may call you that. Greetings from the other side of the world, you help me remember all the parts of America that I love
I’m in my garden in Oregon, cigarettes, booze and reefer at the ready. Also, cleaning out my van from my foray into the hashtag vanlife episode in my life. 😂😂😂
Dylan Earl has a hell of a voice. And when Willie Carlisle sings god you can feel that he has lived that life. Nick shoulders voice reminds me of 1920’s barber shop...
Wow! Sheriff Baker. I grew up in Madison county, raised by Outlaws. Growing weed in the 80s was some sketchy shit. Sheriff Baker was pretty well known to disappear the competition. My initiation tthe concept of cops being armed and dangerous. Thanks, Nick for reminding me of home.
I used to sing punk music. I hid all the country/Folk songs I wrote until I found these guys. So grateful for this channel for helping me find my sound.
Thankyou WesternAF, thankyou UA-cam, thankyou Internet, thankyou Willi Carlisle, Nick Shoulders and Dylan Earl, thankyou world for making things like this possible. Greetings from Germany!
I'm from Lake Tahoe but lived in Arkansas from 2016-2019 and Hot Springs is the only place I've ever felt at home. I had to come back to Nevada because my mother was dying, and to just stumble across this video today has brought me to more tears than I want to admit haha. I saw Dylan Earl open up for Lost Dog in Little Rock a few years ago and loved the guy and was just blown away by this synchronicity today. Thanks guys! Miss you Arkansas
On a serious note, I've lived in AR all my life. I left to live in Alaska for a time and then Ohio. As soon as the pandemic started I felt I had to come back. Best decision I made. It truly is my home.
@@GregHalvorson correct, but it feels as though I am there shooting the shit and trading songs WITH them because of the camera work and their general demeanor
Dylan Earl‘s song buddy is one of my favorite traveling songs I’ve ever heard. Now van life is one of my favorites too. I don’t think you can talk about traveling songs without mentioning buddy and van life. Or at least I can’t, not any more. Three of my favorite folk singers in one show. The stuff dreams are made of. The pinnacle of good living, reminds me of my traveling days driving around the country tattooing an making art. Thankfully the world is opening back up and the road is calling my name. I hope I can catch a live show. Thank you fellas 🙏🏽
just found this channel and nick shoulders randomly after going on a sturgill simpson/tyler childers/billy strings/colter wall youtube binge a few days ago. shout out to the youtube algae riff m because I been listening to nick on repeat now for the past 48 hrs, and now to find this and discover two more badass musicians is superb. also on a side note, really inspired to start learning some yodeling and some bird calls, any tips for a greenhorn starting down the path??
as a man born and raised in the Appalachians seems to me Ozark folk were cut from the same cloth.. so Sydney Dwoskin if you're anywhere in between I/you could pick you/me up when i decide to make m way west
I need “buddy” on repeat for the rest of my life. What a great song. Hats off to the whole crew! And thank you Western AF for putting the pieces together
I'd love to hear Buddy again and again and again. I come back to this recording every so often and it's such a gift. Each song has so much emotion behind it. Positively Epic Session!
How wonderfully authentic and genuine that was! Warmed my heart completely! Thanks fellas. There’s thousands of us out here watching that would give up up a kidney for one night just like this! (Well a finger at least!) 👌🎶🤘
You all are great! Just great. I would’ve given my big toes to be at that campfire. I was hooked from the first song, AND THEN, you had to double down with the Revisionist History references AND the best owl calls I’ve heard since I was a kid. Thank you all for doing your thing. It’s beautiful.
The more I dig into this channel the better it gets! Willi... holy shit brother. I'm not much the artsy type, shoot I don't even know if explain art but if I had to I'd say this ua-cam.com/video/1GrEtYD7qbE/v-deo.html . Found you boys via Wester AF
14:07 this is the only version/performance of Buddy I'm genuinely connected to. This was actually the first time I heard the song and only after hearing the studio release. I'm 95% sure I wouldn't have connected with let alone like the song if not hearing this performance. Such a good, simple, diverse song with the commonality of the majority of folks. As well @$ 95% able to relate I'm some way or another.
God damn I love that recording, beautiful music from y'all Love that ending too, " Have a good night y'all, say no to fascism". I sure will say no to fascism!💚
Just wanted to thank y’all for this. Brought back a lot of memories of when my brother lived at a punk house in Hammond Indiana by the rail yard. Lots of traveling musicians and punks and the stories and memories. It was called the BACH (big ass collective house).
Cheers for the nice Friday night wind down lads. Beers and a few camp-fire tunes were just what I needed. Fuck this unit though. I need some bush around me. Thanks again from Straya.
Geeee whiz I love these guys. Takes me back to simpler times with friends around the fire. Would love to catch a show of you three together when things are normal again. In the meantime, please keep doing these lil campfire sessions!
Shoot, thanks folks. This was definitely an off-the-cuff idea, and it's Western AF that made it real and made it sound so good!
Willi you rock man!

Cuz we are the cops of the world boys..

That was so outdoorsy I got a couple of mosquito bites just listenin'.
my belly turned into a beer belly
Can’t get enough of Nick shoulders
Seeing these guys playing for the fun and messing up is awfully comforting. Like jamming with the buddies and fuckin up.
Definately. Can't help but to smile at it! ...shucks... 🍻
Better music in that hour than in any modern country award show.
With you there brother, sick name btw
Who watches awards shows?
Yes! The so called “country” on the radio today is utterly disappointing!
So crazy what's on the radio vs this type of sound. Wish it wasn't so.
Watching from Scotland ! Cigarettes, reefer , coffee and booze.
I spent the first half of my life on cigarettes and booze, I prefer to spend the second half on coffee and reefer!
booze, then reefer then maybe a herbal tea
I’m in my garden in Oregon, cigarettes, booze and reefer at the ready. Also, cleaning out my van from my foray into the hashtag vanlife episode in my life. 😂😂😂
Thats a good time
I feel like Willi Carlisle could do a great version of you can have the crown.
I agree
Dylan Earl has a hell of a voice. And when Willie Carlisle sings god you can feel that he has lived that life. Nick shoulders voice reminds me of 1920’s barber shop...
Dylan's voice is dreamy af.
Aaaah...Nick. A fine Irish tenor he be.
@@NitaKerns Buddy is so fuckin good I cry every single time and thats before he even sings.
I come back to listen to Dylan, his solo acoustics are the best
Nick's voice reminds me of Slim Whitman
I actually don't know how I got here but I sure glad I did
Many days like that ,many many nights tho😆
Ha! Me too! Welcome awesome friends!
I blacked out and woke up with a mullet. What happened?
For those that hit the "thumb down" must be miserable AF.
Eastern AF
@@maeksu 😂😂😂
@@maeksu sounds bout right! 🤣 doggone sorry fuckers!
Don't be ridiculous; people don't have to like what you like.
Southern AF
Sitting in my car at 4am, which I live in, saving up for van. I really enjoyed this van life jam.
Did you get your van yet?
Stay warm!
DIdya buy the van?
We gotta know about that van, bud.
I am now heavily invested... Let's find this gentleman and get him in a damned van at least!
Wow! Sheriff Baker. I grew up in Madison county, raised by Outlaws. Growing weed in the 80s was some sketchy shit. Sheriff Baker was pretty well known to disappear the competition. My initiation tthe concept of cops being armed and dangerous. Thanks, Nick for reminding me of home.
Thank you, Western AF. Words cannot express how great this was tonight
This is literally so fucking cute that i shed a tear or two lmao. Little Goth on the Praire ..
this is some wholesome ass stuff to discreetly play in your headphones at work ngl.
Damn you just spelled out my last hour at work made my day honestly
You simultaneously described the next hour of my workday.
Will is that you?
Literally me right now
I used to sing punk music. I hid all the country/Folk songs I wrote until I found these guys. So grateful for this channel for helping me find my sound.
those two are closer than you think and both equally enjoyable 😉
@@hanskloss1331 Way closer. Theres a whole slew of weirdos out there like trainhoppers who's lives are pure punk and pure folk.
Thankyou WesternAF, thankyou UA-cam, thankyou Internet, thankyou Willi Carlisle, Nick Shoulders and Dylan Earl, thankyou world for making things like this possible. Greetings from Germany!

Come on back now, ya hear 💖
On a serious note, I've lived in AR all my life. I left to live in Alaska for a time and then Ohio. As soon as the pandemic started I felt I had to come back. Best decision I made. It truly is my home.
I think I might have stumbled upon a good time
This feels like you're just chillin around the fire and shooting the shit and trading some songs and I love it.
Uuuh, that is what they're doing.
@@GregHalvorson correct, but it feels as though I am there shooting the shit and trading songs WITH them because of the camera work and their general demeanor

Is buddy on an album or a single? Is that even the name?

Can't wait to seem em all at Under The Big Sky, hope to see you out there too!
“Algorithm” btw.
Check out "devil makes three" and "dead south" if you like those guys
That second Willie song had me tearin up. I will always be moved by how much emotion he puts into his music.
Anyone know the name of the song where Willi sings "It's not supposed to rain on independence day"?
Willie is absolutely phenomenal. I’ve been infatuated with Van Life for the past year. What a trip. Thank ya Doc.
I think I’ve played this every night for a week straight now. Pure country gold. All 3 are so talented in their own beautiful ways
I’ll tell y’all once tell it again, we’re breedin musicians down here in Arkansas
yall really are, good lord. i gotta get out to the ozarks!
from ashes rise phoenix
as a man born and raised in the Appalachians seems to me Ozark folk were cut from the same cloth.. so Sydney Dwoskin if you're anywhere in between I/you could pick you/me up when i decide to make m way west
I’ll be moving from Iowa to northwest Arkansas soon
@@woody421421 no stay over there, we're full up here. 😜
Good video and great music. Just wish you guys had a sponsor instead of letting UA-cam shoehorn it’s ads into the middle of every song
I need a Western AF bumper sticker to put next to my Bigfoot Flipping off sticker.This made my evening!
I need “buddy” on repeat for the rest of my life. What a great song. Hats off to the whole crew! And thank you Western AF for putting the pieces together
Fuckin-A. When are round two and three coming?
Wish this were about 3 hours longer. Could listen all night.
I'd love to hear Buddy again and again and again. I come back to this recording every so often and it's such a gift. Each song has so much emotion behind it. Positively Epic Session!
The praise for the dude to who brick broke into his van cause ummmm he needed it.... how edgy 🤢🤮
Like an updated, eternally more badass version of a roy rogers show
How wonderfully authentic and genuine that was! Warmed my heart completely! Thanks fellas. There’s thousands of us out here watching that would give up up a kidney for one night just like this! (Well a finger at least!) 👌🎶🤘
truly hope our favorite folk cousins team up for an east coast swing once we're "normal"
Normal 🤯
Id do anything some New England shows
@@NitaKerns most folk shows swing through NE and skip all of PA :((
Wow how I love this. Had me dancing around my woodstove thinking that there might be better times ahead. Cheers.
Country goths unite
This is the best hour I've spent in a very long time.
Come for the music, stay for the pleasingly anti-facist interludes.
Being on the road away from the wife and pups always sucks but yall made it suck a little less. Thanks from Sikeston, MO.
these young gentleman touches an old mans heart, I am so impressed, So nice that the se guys are there and make my life better.
Oh man, I didn't think I could like this more THEN A HEARTFELT UTAH PHILLIPS SONG!
Phones are just too damn small these days, that's the only way I could see someone tapping the thumbs down on this.
this was so sick. i hope yall do more cabin fever sessions
Dope smokers at dawn Unite! ✊🏻
You all are great! Just great. I would’ve given my big toes to be at that campfire. I was hooked from the first song, AND THEN, you had to double down with the Revisionist History references AND the best owl calls I’ve heard since I was a kid. Thank you all for doing your thing. It’s beautiful.
These songs should be put in individual tracks. Would get a heap more clicks ! Dylan sounds amazing in this setting. Best he has sounded
I'm from Erie Illinois.
Was just in Galesburg to pick up a 4 wheeler. Some good ole boy out in them woods
Tuned in cos I love NS but Willies Van Life song was hot as hell ❤️ some outstanding lines in that story 😉
I'm not an American people, but so good is this music and I like it !!!
Does someone can tell me the name of the song at 25 min that willi Carlisle is singing ?
It's called "Independence Day" and it's unreleased as of right now.
@@Willi-Carlisle this song is wonderful... I m french and even if I don't speak a really good english, songs like this one speak to me...
Independence song by Willie was chilling. Keep that song for all your sets!
Oh my gosh, freaking feel like I'm there around a good old fashioned fire.. Like rain like a good ol fashioned fire, just wonderful guys!
The van life is gold! I'd like to say I love you to my brother Josh. I hope you see this kiddo!
In Florence Colorado right now and last night this was a great jam session to smoke a J to
The more I dig into this channel the better it gets! Willi... holy shit brother. I'm not much the artsy type, shoot I don't even know if explain art but if I had to I'd say this ua-cam.com/video/1GrEtYD7qbE/v-deo.html . Found you boys via Wester AF
Say no to fascism kids ✨

Just wanted to thank myself for doing this because I come back every now and then. When that happens I always want to hear this version of Buddy.
Holy shit Willi, that Independence Day song was something.
This version of van life is so good!...I can't leave it alone
God damn I love that recording, beautiful music from y'all
Love that ending too, " Have a good night y'all, say no to fascism". I sure will say no to fascism!💚
So excited for this
Willi was spitting FIRE
Watching Nick double over laughing while Willi sings Van Life is bringing me so much joy.
The absolute best western af. Video
Dylan Earl - Buddy, now that's a fuckin song !
Just wanted to thank y’all for this. Brought back a lot of memories of when my brother lived at a punk house in Hammond Indiana by the rail yard. Lots of traveling musicians and punks and the stories and memories. It was called the BACH (big ass collective house).
"...the pleasenly antifascist interludes!!!" Too funny Willi!!! 🤣
I don't get it..
idk how the metrics turned out on this, but ya'll better orchestrate another. This is FIRE!
yall got me missing little backyard shows. making my damn heart ache
THE VAN LIFE SONG!!! HAHAHAHAHA
This is wonderful. Thanks for making this happen.
These guys are some of the best songwriters and singers alive right now.
I would love to see this line-up in person live. In the best of ways it reminds me of the Pete Seeger Rainbow Quest.
Thank God for these artists and this Chanel
Hot damn friends🤘🔥
I don’t do this often , but I can’t wait for Friday when I get off work, I’m gonna drink some whiskey and watch this again
Willi Carlisle is a great songwriter.
I would pay big bucks or do nasty things to be able to attend a campfire with these fine young ladies. This music just touches my insides so nice.
I'm glad to see Joe Diffie's awesome mullet and Jack Loyd's yodel have been reincarnated.
I needed something to listen to today and this was exactly what I needed to listen to.
I'll come back to this to listen to multiple times buddy
Music is the way the gods speak
I've never heard of any of these guys but I will be a lifetime fan. I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED this campfire & candle concert! ❤💯🙌
That roger Miller cover is top notch. All three of these guys can rip. Thank you for sharing! Much respect & appreciation.
Thank you for this. What a beautiful storytelling by the fire.
I ended up here after listening to a Matt Heckler song, UA-cam algorithms :)
Cheers for the nice Friday night wind down lads. Beers and a few camp-fire tunes were just what I needed. Fuck this unit though. I need some bush around me. Thanks again from Straya.
I can't get enough of these three!
Is this best concert?
What I’d give to just pull up a chair to this particular fire
Geeee whiz I love these guys. Takes me back to simpler times with friends around the fire. Would love to catch a show of you three together when things are normal again. In the meantime, please keep doing these lil campfire sessions!
I wish this version of vanlife was on Spotify !!!
who's the guy in the cap with a pin? he's great!
Willi Carlisle
The van life , I traded mine in for the two foot life. Its a lot slower but easier to push along.
By, God! Y'all make me not want to go into work tomorrow. Cheers!
The new classics, right here.
Been listening to this non stop
Found this a little late, but enjoyed the heck out of it!!
