Just in case people don't know: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henry_(folklore) - "John Henry is an African American folk hero. He is said to have worked as a "steel-driving man"-a man tasked with hammering a steel drill into rock to make holes for explosives to blast the rock in constructing a railroad tunnel" Jason was an incredible lyricist
Phil , I love your video.. Takes me back to early 1960s in Wilcox Arizona, and mid 60s out of Oracle Arizona. Cowboy days, and Cowboy ways. Big Ranches , and Wide Open Spaces.. True Freedom.. Did those things myself.. M E Co is another Treasure, in Life. Dammit, RUP Jason. Way to go Phil! 😜❤️✌️
I love Jason with all my heart... In his own right....but he sure sounds a fuck of a lot like Neil Young on this song ! With Crazy Horse.... The whole thing can you hear that?
his voice is so knowing, sensitive and comforting. a shame that he's gone.
RIP Jason. Your contributions to the soul of music will not be forgotten.
John Henry may have split Jason's heart.... But Jason Molina splits my heart....
Ahh, you've said beautifully

Swing the heaviest hammer you got
Hit this one out of the park
How can anyone be this good? RIP, Jason .
This deserves much more views, I hope a famous movie/series uses it so more people can know this masterpiece.
Seriously love this guitar wailing!
It reminds me a bit of Neil Young's electric stuff
This guitar is amazing
Think you might be referring to the steel lap guitar. The guitar is kind of chugging along with some rich distorted chords

Thanks, Dave :)
this song need more people to listen to it, its a fantastic song that doesnt get the credit it deserves
i dig this tune a lot
John Henry is the first and middle name of Doc Holliday, the more you know
I stood on the 66 highway
Wysteria, Magnolia beside the green line track
Said "Don't Come Back" (...)
LIke the bull out of the gate, this one charges from second one. Long dark blues...
a really great song
Long Dark Blues!
The callback to Farewell Transmission at 5:02 completely threw me off when I first listened to the album.
It's not fair that #1, these guys are relatively unknown, and #2, that Jason left us so soon.
how slow the main riff goes after the verses is fucking amazing
YESSS!!! Great track by a great artist!!
Cool video! I love this song. I already miss the guy.
steve berra is amazing.
Amazing
Effing tickles my brain!
Mindfield was such a good video. Berra's ender was pure sex.
You are so right, my friend..
kudos molina for having my attention for full 6 minutes.lost that ability among the way.

Molina was a massive Young fan so makes sense.
On Dark Moon!
Long dark blues
@@USAboysp it took me a while to learn that
i am aware of that
quit hating if u liked the artist ud be stoked they were on an amazing video like that just cause ur outta the loop lol quit trollin
Steve Berra
Half I'll trade to put gas in the van,
Half I'll use to pay the band.
now this song is more heavier that jason gone, RIP buddy
i love that fuckin video, but his part is so short, and so is rob dyrdeks...
I didn't know he was dead bro...
honestly makes me mad you monetized this dead mans music with ads and are probably making more than he made when he was alive
typing this made you feel righteous didn't it
@@ts-wo6pprightfully
so your not good if dc shoes,alien workshop,silver trucks all sponsor you wow thats new news to me.
a whisky mixer song from the mouths of the alkie dead
grumpy whining from the mouth of an alkie almost dead
steve berra is the best
