Thank you so much for this most awesome reaction video . This is Adam Blank from “ Live at the Printshop “ I’m the creator/host .. (the guy hypnotized by this performance 😂) what a moment we captured. I will be forever grateful.. Dig in to the entire episode it features an in depth personal /heartfelt interview and 10 songs by this incredible artist that is Stephen Wilson Jr!! It’s an absolute banger 🙏✌️✌️
The reaction on his face in this video was exactly what mine was while watching the video you posted. I can't even tell you how many times I've watched it now, but I laughed and almost had moist eyes while watching this one. I love seeing people react to Stephen. He is a special one. Thank you for being the one to help bring him to the front a bit. #newfavoriteartist
A BIG Thank you for exposing this guy for all of us ! My man that was absolute FIRE! He better get a BIG label behind him soon if he doesn't already ! What a talent !
When you said "first encounter with this artist" I was waiting for your reaction when he first started singing. Exactly how I reacted when I first heard him earlier this year. My top 6 songs on Spotify this year were from him (1994 being my top).
your facial expressions looks just like mine when i heard the range on his voice 😂 ugh thank you for doing this I want everyone to know about him his talent is unreal
I sent the performance to a friend of mine who I knew was a huge fan of the original and waited for a response. 30 minutes went by and messaged her if she got time to listen to it. Her reaction was “I immediately didn’t think I’d make it halfway through the video. But Ive watched it 5 times now and trying to wrap my head around how amazing this is”.
love your reaction when his voice hit.... I listened to him all day at work and just found him less than 36 hrs ago. This man is unreal.... his name will be SPOKEN across the world soon....
This man needs to be heard by anyone that needs to know that they matter in life. He can touch your soul, and get you up and going all at the same time. Check into all his music. Please!
Fathers son...i am a song...damn near made a grown man cry...i felt like i was listening to the next chris stapleton...the entire print shop show of stephen wilson jr is well worth listening to
Dude, you're so much fun to watch. I'm enjoying your commentary as much as you enjoyed the song. "...sitting on a turqouise couch!" And you're right about the recording quality it adds a ton.
One of the few good things for me about being on TikTok has to be that I have been put on to all sorts of awesome artists and their music and Stephen Wilson Jr is no exception. His rendition of Stand By Me has 100% become one of my favorites.
Boy! What a Christmas present I would have missed had I not opened your thumbnail! I love the gritty aggression in which he attacked that guitar and made it sing with him! Now I have an artist in which to look out for! Thanks, Mr.Boyd!
Being from the hometown, I hope Stephen’s music, sound, and voice crosses everyone across the worlds path. He sings with such passion and emotion. It’s unmatched.
Still get chills everytime I hear this cover. For a song we have all heard a million times, suddenly bring such strong emotions into it. To me it completely transformed the song, for the better in my opinion.
Absolutely insane that this dude was a scientist 10 years ago with no plans of ever going into music, and here we are now, witnessing this. And you gotta do "I'm a song" from the Print shop aswell! Absolutely incredible.
How is he not on the radio? I never hear him on XM or radio stations. He taught himself to play the guitar and writes his own lyrics to his music outside of the covers he performs. SWJ is a genius.
OK, so I'm not saying I disagree, but to say this is the best version of this song ever, including the original is monumental. I actually thought I was the only one who thought that.
The guitar opening sets the tone for the entire song. Love it!! Such a flawlessly masterful performance from beginning to end. I really can’t think of anything that I’ve ever seen that’s even remotely comparable. That’s how unique it is. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"I'm surprised he still has strings on that guitar" LOL. I can't tell what is more impressive, that he can play as well as he sings or sings as well as he plays as both are otherworldly.
i have been listening to this album on repeat for over a year. it is phenomenal. some of the podcasts he has been on have been great. on the bertcast one he dives deep into his story and the story behind the album.
I thoroughly enjoy your music reactions! You're reviewing many artists now that I've been following before most heard of them. You give very honest reactions and you seem to have impeccable music knowledge 👍👍
It’s about time. I saw this come out a few weeks ago and I’ve been waiting for the rounds of reaction videos. What a truly phenomenal take on this classic.
Gives me chills every time. He's so incredibly talented. The song was recently released on Spotify (this version). Now if he'd only release I'm a Song--please listen to the version also sang at the Print Shop. Then listen to 1994 because it was kind of a mainstream hit a few years ago. Then listen to the whole darn Son of Dad album--Calico Creek, Grief is Only Love, Father's Son...and then dig up his cover of Nirvana's Something in the Way...just go down the rabbit hole and take it in. SWJ is a special talent that doesn't come along very often.
He is amazing! Saw him live at The Intersection in Grand Rapids, MI. Loved him long before this set! Please, please, please listen to his 'Son of Dad' album! It will knock your socks off! ❤️
SWJ is a phenomenal talent. His lyrics are fantastic as well. The entire Son of Dad album is a must. Kid, Twisted, Holler from the Holler, Billy, Cuckoo, Patches are ones not typically referenced should be to the top. SWJ making us here in Seymour Indiana proud!! Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction video and you now have a new follower. Keep it up 👏
I'm so glad you found this!!!! I swear i thought Ol'Willie Nelson came out with a new song when he first started to sing. Check out "Father's Son." Next, all of his stuff is great it's my current obsession
Great reaction. Just like you, the first time I heard Stephen Wilson Jr., I was floored. Check out anything from his album, Fathers Son. The Devil, Year to be young 1994, American Gothic, Holler from the Holler. All great.
Pick any song! You won't be disappointed, I promise! I have seen him live 3 times this year already, and have tickets purchased for two more shows already!!
Anyone else feel like Stephen Wilsom Jr deserves all the good things coming to him but you don't want the world to discover hoe amazing he is because he might change and it's just too perfect now?
Thank you so much for this most awesome reaction video . This is Adam Blank from “ Live at the Printshop “ I’m the creator/host .. (the guy hypnotized by this performance 😂) what a moment we captured. I will be forever grateful.. Dig in to the entire episode it features an in depth personal /heartfelt interview and 10 songs by this incredible artist that is Stephen Wilson Jr!! It’s an absolute banger 🙏✌️✌️
You are one lucky man! Thank you for bringing this to us, I would not have been able to keep it together especially sitting that close to this magic.
Thanks for this amazing awesome experience 😍
Thank you, Adam Blank it was the most amazing watch on UA-cam!
The reaction on his face in this video was exactly what mine was while watching the video you posted.

A BIG Thank you for exposing this guy for all of us ! My man that was absolute FIRE! He better get a BIG label behind him soon if he doesn't already ! What a talent !
"I'm a song" live at the print shop is another amazing one!
Go DEEP down the Stephen Wilson Jr rabbit hole...you will not regret it for a second! He is AMAZING!!
How in the Hell is that guy NOT world famous ...that was FIRE !!....You have to be kidding me ! I bet I have watched this 15-20 times ...Incredible!
Same!
This guy is on his way to stardom. Steven Wilson Jr. you are amazing!
Dude, this guy was a scientist. Thank God he changed careers.
🤔🤭😀
Father's Son and 1994 acoustic is worth a listen
THIS
Check out The Devil another great performance
Holler from the Holler is prob my fav!
Calico creek and holler from the holler are personal favourites
When you said "first encounter with this artist" I was waiting for your reaction when he first started singing. Exactly how I reacted when I first heard him earlier this year. My top 6 songs on Spotify this year were from him (1994 being my top).
The reason why his guitar looks the way it does is because of how hard he plays. It’s passion personified
Stephen is going to be a LEGEND!!!
Chills. Goosebumps. All of the feels!! Truly amazing!
SWJ is rockabilly Mr. Rogers in a Bolo tie. Check out Fathers Son acoustic with Hardy.
unbelievable song...
And the "I Am A Song" recording from that couch. Wonderful song
your facial expressions looks just like mine when i heard the range on his voice 😂 ugh thank you for doing this I want everyone to know about him his talent is unreal
YESSSSSS I WAS SO WAITING FOR THIS! Any stephen wilson jr is amazing. Live from the print shop is amazing from him!
This is raw talent. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of This guy
Same!
I sent the performance to a friend of mine who I knew was a huge fan of the original and waited for a response. 30 minutes went by and messaged her if she got time to listen to it. Her reaction was “I immediately didn’t think I’d make it halfway through the video. But Ive watched it 5 times now and trying to wrap my head around how amazing this is”.
"Father and Son" is a MUST from Stephen Wilson Jr!!!
Father's son
Stephen Wilson Jr songs are all great. I listen to his songs daily. His tributes are killer!
I’ve been listening to this song on repeat.
love your reaction when his voice hit.... I listened to him all day at work and just found him less than 36 hrs ago. This man is unreal.... his name will be SPOKEN across the world soon....
This man needs to be heard by anyone that needs to know that they matter in life. He can touch your soul, and get you up and going all at the same time. Check into all his music. Please!
His music speaks to your soul. So good.
Everything I’ve seen by him has been great since I’ve discovered him!
Fathers son...i am a song...damn near made a grown man cry...i felt like i was listening to the next chris stapleton...the entire print shop show of stephen wilson jr is well worth listening to
Dude, you're so much fun to watch. I'm enjoying your commentary as much as you enjoyed the song. "...sitting on a turqouise couch!" And you're right about the recording quality it adds a ton.
Can't thank you enough for this video! I'd never heard of him & now I'll be traveling 2 states away to see him in concert. BRILLIANT!!!
He doesn’t have a bad song . One of my favorites these days
One of the few good things for me about being on TikTok has to be that I have been put on to all sorts of awesome artists and their music and Stephen Wilson Jr is no exception. His rendition of Stand By Me has 100% become one of my favorites.
Wow… I had been seeing this but didn’t give it a shot till I saw you did it… I grew up with this song on our jukebox 👀 emotional
Been listening for weeks and today after my dads cancer treatment sent this to him. Grew up with Ben E. King’s version playing on the porch.
Boy! What a Christmas present I would have missed had I not opened your thumbnail! I love the gritty aggression in which he attacked that guitar and made it sing with him! Now I have an artist in which to look out for! Thanks, Mr.Boyd!
Check out " kid" , " I'm a song" & " Patches " acoustic versions.
I'm crying too man, you're not alone...it's familiar, the music/ Stephen, as if I've waited my whole life to hear this.
I'm glad I am not the only one who this has become the best version of the song for.
Being from the hometown, I hope Stephen’s music, sound, and voice crosses everyone across the worlds path. He sings with such passion and emotion. It’s unmatched.
He’s unbelievable and the entire album is great
Yes!!!!!!!!!! He is unreal. You will love his music.
Wow....gave me goosebumps. I love when people can tell their own stories through music, whether it's a cover or original.
Still get chills everytime I hear this cover. For a song we have all heard a million times, suddenly bring such strong emotions into it. To me it completely transformed the song, for the better in my opinion.
Absolutely insane that this dude was a scientist 10 years ago with no plans of ever going into music, and here we are now, witnessing this.
And you gotta do "I'm a song" from the Print shop aswell! Absolutely incredible.
He actually was in an indy rock band while in college that was signed to a record deal.
How is he not on the radio? I never hear him on XM or radio stations. He taught himself to play the guitar and writes his own lyrics to his music outside of the covers he performs. SWJ is a genius.
Thanks for introducing me to this singer and this version of the song! Great commentary, too!
OK, so I'm not saying I disagree, but to say this is the best version of this song ever, including the original is monumental. I actually thought I was the only one who thought that.
1994 is a great song. It will bring back memories of childhood
The guitar opening sets the tone for the entire song. Love it!!
Such a flawlessly masterful performance from beginning to end. I really can’t think of anything that I’ve ever seen that’s even remotely comparable. That’s how unique it is. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"I'm surprised he still has strings on that guitar" LOL. I can't tell what is more impressive, that he can play as well as he sings or sings as well as he plays as both are otherworldly.
He starts singing - CHILLS!!
This is amazing!! Very emotional. You can download this very version!
Mandatory rabbit hole is exactly right! I can't stop listening to him the past few months. So genuine and pure with his emotions and lyrics.
i have been listening to this album on repeat for over a year. it is phenomenal. some of the podcasts he has been on have been great. on the bertcast one he dives deep into his story and the story behind the album.
I just found out about this artist myself and immediately went down a rabbit hole, it was something I didn’t know I needed in my life.
Glad you like live, Beth is a phenomenon live artist. Enjoy the ride!
I’m a song! Best song today!
your reaction is all our reactions! emotionally stirring. great video.
You paused just before you're about to get your mind blown!! Welcome to the club!!
I thoroughly enjoy your music reactions! You're reviewing many artists now that I've been following before most heard of them. You give very honest reactions and you seem to have impeccable music knowledge 👍👍
It’s about time. I saw this come out a few weeks ago and I’ve been waiting for the rounds of reaction videos. What a truly phenomenal take on this classic.
I get chills everytime I hear it.
This version will be available on Spotify! Absolutely love this cover! Steven is simply beautifully amazing 🤩
Yeah, this is something else. I'm here for it.
At the 4:20 mark his belting has you experiencing a spectrum of emotions, lol
I've been watching your channel for months now. You are a fantastic reactor.
when I first saw him and that guitar about 4 weeks ago I knew in that moment even before the first note this was going to be legendary
Get into that rabbit hole brother!!! You will love his writing and his passion.
Gives me chills every time. He's so incredibly talented. The song was recently released on Spotify (this version). Now if he'd only release I'm a Song--please listen to the version also sang at the Print Shop. Then listen to 1994 because it was kind of a mainstream hit a few years ago.

SWJ is a special talent that doesn't come along very often.
Was waiting for this. Gives me the goose bumps.
I've seen him live 3 times this year. Better each and every time. Love watching others discover SWJs genius for the first time 😁
He sounds so much like CHRIS CORNELL!! I love love love this guy. I adored Chris too💗
You have to do "I'm a Song" from the same sessions. Blew me away.
He is amazing! Saw him live at The Intersection in Grand Rapids, MI. Loved him long before this set! Please, please, please listen to his 'Son of Dad' album! It will knock your socks off! ❤️

I'm glad to hear Willy Nelson influence in next generations. Thank u 🎉🙏
Just came across him a month ago and his song " I am a song" is probably the best song I have heard in awhile.
'I am a song' its amazing!
I came back for a 2nd time. Man you gotta do more from this guy!
Stephen Wilson Jr's catalog is nothing short of incredible. He might sneakily be one of the best song writers of a generation.
I'm hearing hints of Chris Cornell in his voice and I love it.
I was listening to his album at work and my boss said, "Is that Chris Cornell???" 🤘 Rock on, SWJr! Rock on!
Wow that's excellent 👏 great reaction bro. God bless everyone
You MUST listen to “I’m a Song” from this same session at the Print Shop..might be the best song I ever heard
Thanks for sharing. Would have not heard it otherwise.
Listen to , “my father’s son “ and “1994” two of my favs from Stephen!! He’s so good
" My fathers son " is amazing!!!!
Its like Bruce Springsteen and Napoleon Dynamite had a baby. I love it! Thanks for the heads up on this guy.
WOW!
Oh! And listen to either "im a song" or "devil" or "holler from the holler". (Live at the print shop for the best versions if i do say so myself)
LOVE the Prince Royce version too.. You're the only other non-latino person I've heard mention that song :D
Great reaction. Just like you, the first time I heard Stephen Wilson Jr., I was floored. Check out anything from his album, Fathers Son. The Devil, Year to be young 1994, American Gothic, Holler from the Holler. All great.
This was my reaction too. So phenomenal.
Damn nearly melted my mfkn face off!! WOW!!! 🔥😳🔥😳🔥😳🔥😳🔥😳🔥😳🔥
SWJ is about to change your soul.
Check out Holler in the holler. With music video. It’s awesome.
broke my cherry on that one!! 1st song of his I heard... into the rabbit hole I dove with reckless abandon...
Pick any song! You won't be disappointed, I promise! I have seen him live 3 times this year already, and have tickets purchased for two more shows already!!
1994 is Awesome
🔥 🔥 🔥
He is the real deal…. The whole album is phenomenal.
I had the same reaction as you, WOW. Amazing
Anyone else feel like Stephen Wilsom Jr deserves all the good things coming to him but you don't want the world to discover hoe amazing he is because he might change and it's just too perfect now?
Great video! I love to see your reaction!!
Went to his show in Charlotte not long ago. Great show.
His timbre is like if Willie Nelson did a Bruce Springsteen impersonation.
Rabbit hole: listen to his epic “My Father’s Son” and weep tears of gratitude for this performer.
