The first track from Shovels & Rope's new album, Swimmin' Time, out August 26, 2014. Preorder Vinyl/CD/Digital at www.shovelsandr... and get 2 songs instantly.
You should see them live to really appreciate their music. I've never seen anyone play drums with 1 hand ..keyboard with the other and harmonica on top of that. Not to mention guitar. Oh and both of them can do this. 😱😊😍
I am fascinated by the transformation of Ms. Hearst. She appears to be two women, hair, body shape etc. Her voice is a composite of Parton, Lynn, Nicks, Raitt, Joplin etc. What a sound! Jack White must be wriggling with envy, re: their lyrics and style. Amazing duo.
Fan, fan, fan, sounds like the music I grew up listening to, only better. I love folk music, especially love that you two are husband and wife. Love of music, I hear it in your art.
Love her voice so much. This is my favorite so far. 🥰. Can’t wait to see you guys in concert one day. Or maybe around a campfire, that sounds better. ♥️. I have a couple of acres and a goat. ;)
my daughter Gabby shared this song with me so i can learn it and we can Jam with it w/our next get together. Is always awesome to get together w/our children and do some jamming to good tunes, and this one will be an awesome addition...
I had a come apart in Oxford Ms when y'all played this, this past weekend! My life is complete now that after all these years I finally got to see y'all live!!! 💙💙💙
Great song! It was a pleasure to see you at CMAC on 7/16! I certainly will dig into your music now I that I have seen you perform. Absolutely amazing! I was so impressed by your opening act!
Yahoo! Im so excited about the new album!! Love this first track..got to hear it on 89.7 WNKU outta KY the other day. Its super nice to turn on the radio and hear Shovels and Rope playing.
WNKU is an outstanding station, they have opened my eyes to so much new music! Between S&R, John Fullbright and especially Imelda May I haven't been this excited about music in a long, long time.
I want to send this song to my husband. With my rheumatoid arthritis being the "devil" in my life, him & the kids are all that's keeping me here. I fight every day to find my way back, but those "apples" aren't helping much anymore, yet what a have to take to keep going still keep me crawling on the floor. Yes, it is amazing what we do, what we have to do.
There's no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, & I also have ankylosing spondolysis which is another type of arthritis that affects the joints in my pelvis resulting in knots on my lower back that make sitting a new level of hell. My own immune system is attacking me. Affecting the joints all over my body as well as my hearing, my eyes & other body organs. Believe it or not,it's not just the joints; it really does affect the whole body, to a lesser degree, but enough to disrupt your life. The information you hear about makes it seem like it's only the joints, but it's not. The only things that the doctors have are meds to slow it down, but the pain remains excruciating, & the meds can kill you. Natural 'treatments' such as vitamins, & minerals, nutrition, etc help some, but they can cause as many complications as they help, if you take too much of the wrong thing. Other "treatments" are nothing but 'snake oil', worthless,& dangerous: as it prevents you from getting proven physician-tested treatments. I also have diabetes (another autoimmune disease), & tachycardia(rapid heartbeats) as well, which makes my treatment more difficult. I want to be more active in my life, but I have to take large doses of narcotics just to fix supper, which I don't get to do often (I miss it). I HATE taking pain pills! I am on a continuous dose of fentanyl in a patch delivery system, & that's not enough for increased activity, it only is a maintenance dose to keep me from writhing in agony. (melodramatic? . . .NO, it really IS that bad) Rheumatoid arthritis affects most EVERY joint in your body. If the left joint hurts the right one does too. Imagine both knees hurting, & swollen at the same time (hard walking?), now imagine the tiny joints in the balls of your feet that allow your toes to move joining in on the party, now a hard time walking becomes almost impossible. Swollen finger joints, wrists joints, elbows, shoulders, (on BOTH sides of your body)....now, how do you hold a cane, or push a wheelchair, or get in & out of an electric wheelchair? Simple tasks such as tieing your shoes, buttoning clothes, opening doors, stiring a pot of soup becomes Mount Everest Yes,it's the same thing Prince died from, but it has saved my life!!!! I was contiplating suicide because the pain was never ending, I was taking narcotics that would only last 3 & 1/2 hours then it would take 30 to 45 minutes for the next dose to start working & they are not to be taken more than every 4 hours. The gastrointestinal upset was severe. It was a rollercoaster of relief, & agony. With the patch, I don't have the side effects I did in the past,& I have continuous pain control. I have kids, I don't want to leave them, but what kind of life is watching your mother cry in agony, & not be able to do anything. Now I can be there for my kids even though I'm in the bed 24 hours a day, I am lucid. And I'm pain free most of the time, except when I get out of bed to do anything, then I need extra meds, especially if I have to ride in a vehicle to go to the doctor. I want to do more, & I'm lonely. Don't get me wrong, my family are in my room everyday, but I want more. That's more information than you asked for, or probably even want, but there it is. If you want a cause to fight for, support The Juvenile Arthritis Foundation. Those kids haven't even had a chance to live, & their agony is even worse. I challenge all those who read this to take up the cause & donate. The agony I'm in can't compare to the agony I would feel to watch one of my kids go through it! Two of my boys have undiagnosed migraines (the kind that put you down for days) they suffer & there's nothing I can do. That's another good cause to donate to, for research & treatment of migraines, of which there's currently no cure. Just check out the organizations before you hand over your hard-earned cash, & keep receipts for tax write-offs, every dollar counts. Thanks for listening to a lonely old hag!
.... as I said.... went to see Tedeschi Trucks....In Saratoga... Blackberry Smoke was second band... Shovel and Rope opened.... quite a treat... very passionate!
When I first saw this video I thought the woman was Farrah Faucet. .......besides the fact I love this song.....I can feel the chemistry when I listen to there voices.....I can't wait to here more of your songs.
Saw them in Denver with gregory alan isakov a week ago, and holy shit did they deliver. Quickly becoming one of my very favorite duo's along with LDSB.
wow, my heart is touched forever. first time playing this song. can't wait to see you in Vancouver. I hope that this time I will get to meet you both. tried last time when you played here in Van. at the Vogue Theater. lets make it happen this time. peace and luv :-) Rob at Music MadHouse Records
When the devil is all around and got you crawling on the ground On your hands and your knees with an apple in your mouth You will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god I got wasted and I sat around the fire all day See if I could find someone to make love to I barely even noticed how the fibers did tear away From the fabric of my being And nobody knows it like you do babe, nobody knows it like you do Nobody knows it like you do babe, the lengths we will go to I’m going down a long road, maybe it's the wrong road But either way I gotta find my way back home again It's too late to turn back now, gotta get the lead on out Gotta find some way to make it right on And nobody knows it like you do babe, nobody knows it like you do Nobody knows it like you do babe, the lengths we will go to There must be some other way, I just don't know Gotta get myself back up on that high road But nobody knows that like you do So I'm gonna be a good man, gonna do the best I can Though I'm a shell of the man that I once was And if I find forgiveness in the eyes of god It will be hard won, I assure you When the devil is all around and got you crawling on the ground On your hands and your knees with and apple in your mouth You will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god Yeah, you will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god
i was thinking - this is so YOUR sound. I am hooked on the "swimmin' time" track & think it should be used in a WALKING DEAD trailer. xoxo please come to cincy.
You should see them live to really appreciate their music.
I've never seen anyone play drums with 1 hand ..keyboard with the other and harmonica on top of that.
Not to mention guitar. Oh and both of them can do this.
😱😊😍
Def Leopard you (wink) you forgot didn't u lol.... but I LOVE THESE GUYS..... he plays what I call SIDE SADDLE
leaped ain't doing all the extras tho.....so you right, u right lol ....VERY TALENTED duo
I’m seeing them for the third time tonight and I’m so excited, incredible live!
They are so down to earth and kind.
Her voice is absolutely amazing!
She's powerful & sweet at the same time & if I was better at math it most likely adds up to your quote; Absolutely amazing!
Dolly parton. And Janis Joplin rolled into one .
More S&R. More proof that God loves us!!!
"Gotta get the lead on out" is my favorite line in any song ever.
Absolutely love these two.
Had the pleasure of catching these two in concert a few months ago. Simply amazing.
One of the best real and honest voices I've ever heard I love these guys
She is so fantastic, so incredibly bright/INTENSE! Love her-- and him. Just fab!!
Between UA-cam and my brain...this song has been on repeat. Beautiful vocals.
;-)
Same here
Nobody knows it like you do babe. 👍👍
By far, the best song I've heard in a long long time.
I wanna sit on a front porch in Chattanooga, TN, drink a bunch of beer and listen to this over and over.
Sometimes you just need some shovels and rope to get yourself outta that hole❤
Oh my goodness what a voice! They are so talented and beautiful as a couple. So so wonderful! Please come to Wyoming someday!
I took my oldest to see them a couple years ago. They rocked out with the ... out! It was a great show. We'd been listening to them for years.
Saw them in Mexico a few years ago. Awesome! And she is adorable.
I am fascinated by the transformation of Ms. Hearst. She appears to be two women, hair, body shape etc. Her voice is a composite of Parton, Lynn, Nicks, Raitt, Joplin etc. What a sound! Jack White must be wriggling with envy, re: their lyrics and style. Amazing duo.
like except for envy, I dont think he's that kinda guy :)
This whole album is incredible.
I heard this song about 2 weeks ago in a coffee shop in Birmingham, AL and have had it on repeat ever since.
These two...so much good music...
this song makes me drop to my knees, so beautiful
Fan, fan, fan, sounds like the music I grew up listening to, only better. I love folk music, especially love that you two are husband and wife. Love of music, I hear it in your art.
Thank goodness they found each other. The music proves that it was meant to be. ❤️
That's me down front with the beard! Caught me with the slow clap! Shovels and rope are amazing! Thanks guys
Love her voice so much. This is my favorite so far. 🥰. Can’t wait to see you guys in concert one day. Or maybe around a campfire, that sounds better. ♥️. I have a couple of acres and a goat. ;)
I love this song so much.
Love it! These guys just keep gettin' better, this album is their best album yet.
my daughter Gabby shared this song with me so i can learn it and we can Jam with it w/our next get together. Is always awesome to get together w/our children and do some jamming to good tunes, and this one will be an awesome addition...
She's so incredibly passionate. Incredibly! You just LOVE her! Saw them down in Mexico a few years ago. Fantastic!!
It's a fuckin crime that you guys weren't even nominated for at least Americana album of the year.
I had a come apart in Oxford Ms when y'all played this, this past weekend! My life is complete now that after all these years I finally got to see y'all live!!! 💙💙💙
Great song! It was a pleasure to see you at CMAC on 7/16! I certainly will dig into your music now I that I have seen you perform. Absolutely amazing! I was so impressed by your opening act!
Sublime. Saw them in Ft Worth last year and immediately flew to LA to see them at The Troubadour. Best group in all of music today.
Beautiful! Can't wait till July 13! Traveling from IN to CO to see my two fav bands!
Great song. Love and best wishes from an European fan. You guys got to cross that ocean!
These Guys have brought me Bliss. I Love this song . Jones and Wynette rejuvinated

The voice of country for the future.🤗🤗

Sorry to hear about your pain. Have you looked into any natural remedies for arthritis?

When the devil is all around and got you crawling on the ground
On your hands and your knees with an apple in your mouth
You will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god
I got wasted and I sat around the fire all day
See if I could find someone to make love to
I barely even noticed how the fibers did tear away
From the fabric of my being
And nobody knows it like you do babe, nobody knows it like you do
Nobody knows it like you do babe, the lengths we will go to
I’m going down a long road, maybe it's the wrong road
But either way I gotta find my way back home again
It's too late to turn back now, gotta get the lead on out
Gotta find some way to make it right on
And nobody knows it like you do babe, nobody knows it like you do
Nobody knows it like you do babe, the lengths we will go to
There must be some other way, I just don't know
Gotta get myself back up on that high road
But nobody knows that like you do
So I'm gonna be a good man, gonna do the best I can
Though I'm a shell of the man that I once was
And if I find forgiveness in the eyes of god
It will be hard won, I assure you
When the devil is all around and got you crawling on the ground
On your hands and your knees with and apple in your mouth
You will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god
Yeah, you will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god
I kinda like them.
i was thinking - this is so YOUR sound. I am hooked on the "swimmin' time" track & think it should be used in a WALKING DEAD trailer. xoxo please come to cincy.
My dream is to see them live.. ‘gotta get the lead on out’
To the people who gave a thumbs down, no thumbs down to you!! I think this is an awesome song!! love it!!
