He needs a 2021 Tiny Desk. He has grown tremendously as an artist and has dropped some incredible music since.
I agree 2022%
My son.
Please invite him back. He evolved so much as an artist.
would never shut up if i had his voice.
Pk Kunarangsi me too me too
It's extraordinary when you see live performances that are better than studio versions. I wish he'd make a whole album with nothing but him, a guitar, and a microphone. His regular stuff's awesome, but this is just pure.
I love it when he opens his eyes and goes back in time to the moment he's singing about
why I love tiny desk. I find this guys amazing recent albs, then realise npr were all over him in 2011. I still finding gems, tiny desk the gift that keeps on giving
his face is so interesting. i love listening to his music, but seeing him makes it somehow even better. its like i can see the music on his face, not notes and melodies and lyrics, but the emotion and heart, the center of his music. and hes got the sweetest most gentle smile.
Red dust blows me away everytime
still. every time.
i wanna see him live with all my heart
One of my favourite tiny desk performances, so so beautiful
Listening to Red Dust gives me the chills. So good.
love this guy's music .. a true performer and a humble artist.
These are the best versions of his songs that I have heard. Seems like the vibe at NPR is so good, every band that plays there gives the best performance they ever had. Awesome musician.
his eyes tell a whole story
This guy felt true love
He's soo humble! And I love it when he says "another one?". It's also as if he wakes up from a different state once he stops singing..
Thanks UA-cam for bringing me to all of these great NPR Tiny Desk Concerts! The AutoPlay feature is taking me on an audio adventure, where will it end, who knows?
This was amazing! I would love it if you would invite Gregory Alan Isakov on as well.
He gets all Willem Dafoe on those high notes. So good!
the last two verses are glorious.
"This old dark machine, shakes then it shudders
Pulls to the left, dies near the gutter
But still in the road, and traffic it's silent
The people they stare, then they turn violent
If they should touch, the hem of your dress
I would rise like a lion, strike out again
faithful they wait, faithful they wait
for a sign
Near the town where we were living
Came a loud and joyous sound
As the earth and all her beauty
Picked us up from off the ground
Carried far across the mountains
To a kingdom never bound
We will live like this forever
I will love you
I will love you"
i need him now!!!!!
Just purchased his album on Itunes. Never looking back it was a great decision! ♥♥
Amazing! A really powerful, emotional performance.
I keep coming back to this performance. It's stunning.
The first couple times I heard it, the background noises felt distracting. After repeat listens, though, they carry in some sort of ominous mood that ends up defining the songs for me.
Every time I see him ask if he can play one more I get so nervous. If he didn't play Red Dust in the way that he did here, I would be a different person.
Things emerge from the pool of chance that would never come if they were planned.
As a planner... I can learn something from your last line. I love it.
an angel singing I am a big fan James , david Gray , Dallas Green( city and colour ) , Ben Howard , Ray Lamontagne , Tallest man on earth thats the real music

This is not my first encounter with James... I have known about and been in love with his music for a good while and this is by far one of the best performances I've seen by him or honestly anyone else. Thank you NPR Music for posting this and countless other amazing Tiny Desk Concerts.

My Brother! Thanks so much, girls, for all these wonderful musics you bring to everyone!!!
When I saw this in my feed I dropped everything and loved every moment of this.
...thanks NPR - love your TinyDesks.
James Vincent McMorrow is a great inspiration to hear. His debut recording was stellar, and hearing just him with his acoustic reveals the great depth in his artistry. Great document. I hope James Vincent is still hard at it. Must look him up.
The sirens that play on the background of "red dust" just enhances the feel of the song, it's amazing
The most beautiful man voice i've heard and the bluest eyes i've seen..
Tiny desk is the shit
+MikleShnikle Excuse me?
+Edyta Kaczmarek He said tiny desk is the shit.
Indeed man! Absolute top notch !
This video is my happy place
Now... You have company!
I can't watch him perform...but can listen to him all day long! ♥
stunning amazing artist
The second song is so epic, goosebumps all over
Simply put.....brilliant !
YES! I am so happy music like this is being created.
This is another NPR performance I like much better than the original. He really shows his true talent here!! Very Awesome, Great Performance!!
so happy you featured him :) such an incredibly talented man.
YES!!!!! I love me some James Vincent McMorrow, so when I saw this in my subscription box I was pumped.
This album is beyond beautiful.
One of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard ^_^
Just wonderful!
James V Mc M goes all crazy eyes a few times during this. Great session all the same. That was a great album and the second one is great too
so beautiful, James Vincent McMorrow, Ben Howard, Other Lives, Bon Iver and Michael Kiwanuka are my new favorite artists
Amazing. Just amazing.
Magic
This video needs a replay button after each song!
Ah, to the red oak tree. Safest place in the world. Beautiful lyrics 💕💕💕
I that NPR makes me discover all this great music!
Love this acoustic version of Sparrow and Wolf.... can't wait to see him in Melbourne next week
He was amazing when i saw him live
Absolute purity like wow. This guy wrote from his heart.
I saw him in Boise. He was heartbreaking and vulnerable. Like a ghost on stage.
The harmonies in Old dark machine are just brilliant, but he does the song justice doing it solo.
Fantastic!!!!!!
pure beauty
Saw him live after his last album and before that, really great to see his music develop.
Great performance. I like this live acoustic version better than the regular album version. NPR Tiny Desk Concert never disappoints !!
Priceless
Agreed, Jacko Hooper......exceptional
Thank God I can't sing or play guitar ... since this would make me quit immediately. Not to mention the song writing is top notch. Mr. McMorrow must sing himself to sleep since nothing could compare.
+Jon Coleman He is really good.. but i'm afraid you're missing the point of music mate.
red dust... i cry... MAGICAL
I just want to add a comment for my relations.
I’m here in 2019 and I liked this music.
You have obviously come back to document it.
How do you even start making music like this. #blownaway
You uploaded this on my birthday - and what a present! This guy's so good I can't believe he's not better known. And yes Djangoclouds, he is just like Willem Dafoe AKA Sergeant Elias.
Feliz é aquele que conhece o belo dom do James Vincent. Hey, James.. please come to Brazil! ♥
He waited till the end to show off his range. Wow!
is wonderful
Rest
&
Red
Dust

the faces this guy pulls are priceless!

I love how he keeps on saying 1 more? like 3 times. Definitely good that he did so many more :D
Ready, Set, Go! ... Must fetch the CD....
I found J V McMorrow by listening to Daniel Caesar...they both have beautiful Angelic-like voices...now I have another new found Artist...I enjoyed this Tiny Desk Concert.
He can serenade me forever
EPIC FACE ,EPIC FACE ,EPIC FACE ,EPIC FACE unstopable ..
