My family gets tired of hearing me say it, so I'll just tell you: These guys are the best country band in the land. For artistry, performance, sincerity, and shit-kickin' fun, they're the genuine article. No one does it better.
"I consider myself a kind of want to be short story writer" Evan, you are one of the BEST short story writers. We miss you already. Keep writing and sharing your music with us please.
Probably the least known and underrated real country music band in America right now. These guys have been my favorites for a long time. Hope to see more of them again soon.
i love circling back to these "old" recordings from turnpike. saw them live for the first time ever a week ago here in vegas and loved it. such a solid band. they sure make listening to country music easy.
Only "discovered" this band a few weeks ago and every song I hear sounds just as good as the last one. Sounds like Evan is doing well - hope there is more music in the future; if it's meant to be.
Leland Lawrence also turnpike was the coolest show I’ve ever seen. I saw them San Louis Obispo, California at the Fremont. We got there expecting some nobody to open for them and it was Jason Boland! We were like WHAT lol they also shred live. As you can see^^^
This is my favorite band of all time. I got a notification from Spotify not long ago saying that I was in their top 1% streamed listeners of their music lmao. Pay no rent is my favorite song, as well as A little Song, diamonds and gasoline, old time feeling and of course, good lord lorrie
I love this band. I hope the singer gets well soon. I know it can be a hard thing brother. Hope to see you guys back on the road as soon as everyone’s well
Seeing someone genuinely love and enjoy playing their music is so refreshing. Cheers to the best country band out there, and their 2024 reunion!! LFG!!!
Holy Fuck.......My love for Waylon Jennings is fading........Phenomenal song writing, style, sound, rhythm, diversity.......amazing band with something very rare & special.
These guys are so talented! True poets that can ride with “The Greats”! One can feel his emotions in his voice and to portray that sentiment with instrumental accompaniment is an exceptional gift! It’s a gift they have and a gift that we are able to experience it! ❤️
Simply the best. Evan it’s time you get your shit together man ! No judgment....been right where your at now, keep fighting and understand this ole world needs your musical genius. I can only imagine the music you will write from the last few years on the skids! Hold your head up and keep fighting !
When she sounds so surprised when she asks why he moved back to his hometown when the town is so small is typical big city arrogance. I don’t think some people have a real sense of what home is. I just recently moved back to my hometown of 2600 people and would be perfectly happily living the rest of my life here.
Totally understand.... My town is a little bigger than yours (18,000) but I've never wanted to live anywhere else. I've lived in 2 houses, my childhood home and the house I live in now.
As someone who moved from the city to the country (like way out, I live 20 minutes outside a town of 300 people), I think everyone in urban areas should spend a year living in rural areas, and vice versa. You learn a lot switching places.
Some people will never understand, they just dont get it. Living there entire lives in a concrete jungle. Hank Jr. said it best with "A Country Boy Can Survive".
Awesome that they are touring! We tried for 2 days to get tickets to the Red Rocks concert at normal prices! Then resale prices kicked in 😳 all the way up to $5000 for a seat
Wow, interviewer lady? Maybe there are a handful of people who don’t want to pay 75% of their income towards housing in NYC. Condescending, but she has no care.
So she’s been to Okemah but can’t pronounce it? Don’t get the feeling she really knows anything about this band except something she read 15 minutes before they came on the show or what her producer gave her to ask.
Can anyone teach me ‘Pay No Rent’ on acoustic guitar?! I’m not good enough to pick it up from this video yet. If anyone can make a good tutorial video I’d Venmo some cash!!
My family gets tired of hearing me say it, so I'll just tell you: These guys are the best country band in the land. For artistry, performance, sincerity, and shit-kickin' fun, they're the genuine article. No one does it better.
I'll second that

They're truly the best around
Definitely better than anything Nashville has put out in 20 years
@@mattmaxey5864 definatly
So damn glad these boys are back.
For real!!!!!
AMEN BROTHER!! Now get back to FL.
They're back together & making music again?
My heart aches with happiness.
Me too!! One of the best bands that ever played a note.
imagine being able to write a song like that the night before the funeral of a close friend or relative. it’s incredible!!
what a talent, what a song.
pay no rent captured me. took ahold of my emotions. man, what a song
I'm weeping. 2019 has kicked me in the ass so far and I'm just barely holding on. As soon as this song started, I was done.
@@septicalfrogs hang in there!
Daily process! Thanks :)@@whitetails4life1
Hang On SP everything changes I hope that's already happened Brah. U Got This
Love to all of you. Pay no Rent tears me up every time.
I’ve never wanted a band to get back together more. I get a lump in my

Boy have we got news for you…
You're getting what you want 🙂

You say we miss you already like he’s passed away. There’s still hope
@@itsmychannel and they're finally back together
They’re BAAAAAAAAACK
The story behind "Pay No Rent" .. Priceless!
Probably the least known and underrated real country music band in America right now. These guys have been my favorites for a long time. Hope to see more of them again soon.

I am saddened that this video only has 3.8K likes. WTF!
Pay no rent gets me every time that opening is beautiful
So proud to hear these guys on Yellowstone. Been a fan since day one. Can't beat that red dirt
Sure hope Evan survives.....he’s way too talented to die into obscurity. His songwriting and voice are what is needed in todays country music scene!
Whats going on with him. Online it says hes in a weird funk ig.
@@colbypurkeypile9274 Drugs and alcohol
He’ll make it. He knows how important he is
He’s back! And the world is a whole lot fucking better with the Turnpike Troubadours and Evan Felker in it!

House fire is probably my favorite jam right now
Hero!! Pay no rent is amazing, gives me the chills
Hero. Thank you
Only "discovered" this band a few weeks ago and every song I hear sounds just as good as the last one.
Sounds like Evan is doing well - hope there is more music in the future; if it's meant to be.
Can’t believe these guys aren’t around anymore man... so much talent
I hope they will be back once Evan figures things out and gets off the drugs. Would love to see them live just once.
I have a feeling they’ll be back one day

Pay No Rent is one of the most perfect songs I can think of.
Turnpike Troubadours proudly representing Okies! We love you guys!

The boys are back, and I’m here for it ❤️
Watching this brings a tear to my eye. Love this band, I sure hope that Evan gets better.
Jacob Stringer same

I would play ‘A Long Way From Your Heart’ on repeat. Every song. Top five favorite album of all time.
Evan never gets near enough credit for how well he holds down the rhythm guitar, his strumming always near perfect
It’s supposed to be that way….hes a professional musician… 🤦🏽
@@gulfsurfer91I’ve heard it both ways
These guys are great.
I know these guys, proud of them. they do Oklahoma sound justice. That's our kind of music.
I can’t believe someone disliked this session! They sound so good live!
This session makes my heart happy. Thank you gentlemen.
They're back!!!! Going to their reunion show at Red Rocks May 2022'!
Holy Fuck.......My love for Waylon Jennings is fading........Phenomenal song writing, style, sound, rhythm, diversity.......amazing band with something very rare & special.

I could pull my hair out at how good he sounds in this video. God I love me some turnpike!!!
He’s the best😊
That slide sounds sweeet. Nice
Man they need to get back together, they are sorely missed these days!
Wish granted 🙌🙌
This band is amazing love the beautiful pictures they paint in their stories
Kyle Nix is such a good fiddle player
Can't wait for these guys to get back together, and can't wait for more songs about Lorrie!
The Gourds did the best version of Gin an Juice. Absolutely love turnpike troubadours. Can't wait to see them live since they are playing again.
Snoop calls bullshit on that. Kevin would never agree either.
Coming to the Houston rodeo here soon and I am BEYOND excited to see these guys. 10/10 song writers/singers/performers/etc…
I want to hear more about Lorrie
She obviously had the bad torn apart…by the looks.
Simply the best. Evan it’s time you get your shit together man ! No judgment....been right where your at now, keep fighting and understand this ole world needs your musical genius. I can only imagine the music you will write from the last few years on the skids! Hold your head up and keep fighting !

You ever been to Okemah?
God I wished he’d of answered, “Because dopey liberals like you aren’t there.”
Get well, Evan. God Bless! Please do it for yourself first! You're the only one that make the right decisions. Your music is beautiful man!
Good grief - these guys are incredible.
That was absolutely amazing
WELCOME BACK TURNPIKE
What a gem.
He’s back!!! ❤️❤️❤️
My buddies granpa lives next to evan in oklahoma and I knew about the get together so long ago, so so so so so so happy the boys are back
Thank you, for the last song, and the whole performance.
I kept waiting for them to come thru Nashville, then they were on hiatus. Dang. Sending love and peace to one of my favourite bands.
Damn...that was great!
Just hearing it for the first time....
WOW!!! This is when God given talented people meet.
By far one of the best 20 min on yt
Pay No Rent is so timeless and perfectly written
These guys kill it! Amazing.
Agreed
Such a damn good band
very good performance
Miss these guys
These boys the best around fo sho
Jesus Christ, what a talent.
So sweet! You boys get back to playing. It takes a village.
Awesome that they are touring! We tried for 2 days to get tickets to the Red Rocks concert at normal prices! Then resale prices kicked in 😳 all the way up to $5000 for a seat
We tried to get tickets too but not paying those prices
7 & 7 is one of my favorite for two-steppin’
Incredible
Love this
As good as it gets.
I'm blown away
Fantastic band.
These guys make for one great and fun c/w band
Red Dirt Okie and Texas music with shades of Gatlin Brothers.
So good. Jeepers
Absolutely fantastic, those boys I Nashville could learn something from these fellows, NASHVILLE STOP PLAYING THAT POP SHIT
fucking hell these guys are awesome!
So goddamn good.
The House 🔥 🔥 🔥. Dang!
So happy he came back to his band man , shout out Mr Connell for putting me on in Afghanistan
You can come to my library and do a set or two 👍 I'll let you ❤️
I right music an play wish I can play hear
What? You can't even write English so I doubt you write songs bud.
Anyone know the story behind the John Fullbright joke about him "trying to get back in" the band?
This group is Ridiculous! Soooo hoping that they get back together. EF is a genius with words, and the band is equally important.
oh hell yah Shinyribs shoutout!
Pick up the pieces and you try to carry on
these boys are good ..hot damn
Wow, interviewer lady? Maybe there are a handful of people who don’t want to pay 75% of their income towards housing in NYC.
Condescending, but she has no care.
So she’s been to Okemah but can’t pronounce it? Don’t get the feeling she really knows anything about this band except something she read 15 minutes before they came on the show or what her producer gave her to ask.
Notice the other band mates when he makes the jokes about drinking at 10 in the morning on a Tuesday……
They knew the issue. I’m so glad theat they’re sober now and are back together
The boi with the beads weak” when the bois said , you can only chill with us if you play something “
I live in Tahlequah. The bass player spends a lot of time in Ned's. If you are lucky he might shoot some pool with you
I am convinced Evan sold his soul to the devil. the crossroads kind of thing. maybe im high
Can anyone teach me ‘Pay No Rent’ on acoustic guitar?! I’m not good enough to pick it up from this video yet. If anyone can make a good tutorial video I’d Venmo some cash!!

Anyone know where Engleman was during this?
anybody have time stamps for the different songs?
Pretty sure that dude singing is as high as me
Well... your hunch is almost certainly right. As brilliant as Evan Felker is, his sobriety is a major fucking problem.
