Dave Mallett is a remarkable artist. A great writer, a great performer, and a master of the folk music genre. If you like folk music, and enjoy songs of substance, you'll like everything Dave does.
I've just "discovered" David Mallett, and I'm in love. It's a warm, early evening, the sun has just set. The windows are open and this music is floating through the garden, over the wheat fields, and down to the lake. Ah, isn't this happiness?
Have this song on “This Town” album. “Parallel Lives” is still my favorite DM album. He’s so good live. Very talented singer, songwriter/poet, and so smooth on his Martin. Been to see him with bass man Mike Burd, many times in ME, CT and MA.
I've just come across this vid......I had the good fortune to 'open' for the man , long ago : I'm guessing , circa late 1980's in a small community hall , in Cumbria , NW England UK. He was warm , quietly spoken , with a bunch of great songs, and playing,. ...paying me a fine compliment, and after the gig , I promptly asked him to sign 3 cd's of his work , graciously doing so.....and quite taken aback that I even had these cd's. A man of some social awareness and integrity I believe.
@@davidchannell1731 Thank you David , appreciated.....just learned of the great singer/songwriter John Prine's passing, so sad. Hey look after yourself in these 'strange ' days.
@@jamesfdonaldson Hi Jim, Yes it is very sad to hear of the passing of John Prine. I had the fortune of seeing him in concert twice and was really moved by his down home style and humility. Thanks for the well wishes Jim, you and your family stay safe as well.
Love this comment ! What a memorable evening that must have been for you. David is not only a legendary songwriter, but he also is the father of two amazing sons who are carrying on in his musical footsteps. Check out The Mallett Brothers Band. Years ago David's sons, Luke and Will started writing songs, and put together a band that has definitely stood the test of time. Their writing is poignant and captivating. The "apples" didn't fall too far from the tree. And I, for one, am grateful. 🎶🎵
@@judyannboudreau5138 Thank you Judyann. Oh yes , it was certainly a gig to remember , they didn't come round often , and I think the promoter was aware I could set up my small sound system. (ha ha.) I still love his work , and I'm sure, a good heart. I'll look up the Mallett band, and thanks for your comments. Best, Jim
@sderax456 Yes he is. Of course, we Canadians like to think of him as one of us, since his father came from Digby County, Nova Scotia -- just across the bay.
This was the best musical entertainment show I ever saw on TV.
With great accompaniment artists could really display their talent.
Rest in Peace. One of the greats.
He was..
What a great loss!! I'll always have a huge love for "Red" Mallett 😢
Dave Mallett is the man,this band was great as back up
Such a wonderful writer and singer.. Saw him in Berkeley in '93...

Vanedis3 You just described David’s hometown of Sebec Maine very well. Not sure about the wheat fields... maybe. Certainly fiddleheads.
@@gtryder2000 You mean Lubec?
@@jimdonahue5187 No, I do not.
such a great voice, loved him for years.
Amazing!!!!

2019 raised in Maine, heard of DM of course, but am just now discovering this wonderful talent!
the sound track of my life..... thank, Dave, for putting it into better words than I could have ever come up with

Same. I still can’t believe it. 😢

Jimmy Buffetts said Dave was one of his favorite singer song writers.
For those who don t know Dave passed recently. December 17th 2024 at 73.

Whow!
Yay!
@TheMainefiddleheads Thanks for the info! But still good enough for me: Dave's an honorary Canadian :) Besides, I've seen him Canso NS.
David looks so much like his son Luke in this video...
This is a great backup bunch of musicians. who are they?
Mark O’Connor on fiddle, Jerry Douglas on dobro. Don’t know the others, but they are all wonderful!
This is amazing.Talk about a groove
Thank you Francis
Mark O'Connor, Jerry Douglas, Brent Mason, Glen Worf, Harry Stinson, and Gary Smith.
