I heard this band for the first time on the radio 2 days ago. They have to be the most refreshing new band ever... real music, unpretentious, fantastic !!
I am a great lover of Bob Dylan, David Grey and that distinct sort of sound... Now from my home place all the way across the world to hear these guys is awesome... From Paris to Colombo Sri Lanka the Catskill mountains ring.
Those are my absolute favorite lines. I love the part of the video around that time where Searcher is messing around with Christmas. They are just such nice guys.
I was just recently introduced to these guys, and I have to say I wish I knew about them earlier. They are one of the few modern musical groups that can write a truly moving emotional song. In a era when people like lil wayne and Drake are considered the pinnacle of music, its good to see that there are some real musicians still out there.
After overcoming the shock! I love Good old Zimmerman, I love Robbie Robertson and the boys in The Band, so I love those young dudes too :o) Keep on rollin' Arte!
Saw these guys in Rawchester opening for Bright Eyes on Thursday. I was very glad of it because they put on a great show and look forward to finding their recordings.
Just saw em in Nashville. Epic show~ the opening act was amazing as well. kinda like a southeastern whitestripes sound! anyway...love the felice brothers!!
Having been to a Felice Bros show, all these Dylan remarks floor me. I KNOW that Dylan is rightfully considered the epitome of American songwriting, but these boys stand their own ground, beat their own drum, and by damn, dance to it any freaking way they please. Give them accolades for being awesome songwriters and musicians, not Dylan sound-a-likes.
They get it. The shame of poverty,the betrayal of a friend, the love, the hate, the despair, the hope,the joy,the faith, the often painful human condition;not as a removed observor but as an active participant. Dylan is a darling of the intellectual bleeding heart elite. The Felice Brother's connect with the subjects of their songs. Thedisenfranchised don't need pity they need simple human kindness. The brothers deliver.
I love stuff from each of their albums....the first album recommended to me was the self titled "The Felice Brothers"....i'm going to see them in a few days....in their home country!!!
@MitchellWilsonMusic I appreciate the Guthrie observation. I have spent most of my youth (I am 32 and female) traveling to the places no one visits in the US. I love the local/native music, and Felice always reminded me of some of my favorite towns. You know, if I am not mistaken, the media dubbed Donovan the "New Dylan" to the point even Bob himself snubbed Donovan , back in the day. Interesting what we let the mainstream TELL us we are hearing, ya know?
@wtfe20210 Having spent most of my years in upstate new york, I really connect with their imagery. They evoke an image to me of a cold morning in January or February, when the best of the snow is done and we're left with brown roads and sidewalks, crusty cars, and we have nothing to look forward to but spring, which is a long way off. It's getting breakfast at a lonely diner, not because it's a fun exciting thing to do but because it's all you can do.
@wtfe20210 When I first heard Ian sing when my friend gave me a copy of their self-titled album, I was blown away by the sound. Ian's tone quality is a mix of Bob Dylan and John Prine while being totally new and unique. Some of their songs have a similar sound but it's really the tone of Ian's voice that gets it for me. And obviously the setting and characters in their songs. The sense of loneliness, destitution, love, bohemian lifestyles and dark, sometimes hopeless situations.
@BoobyMcDoogle You totally get it. And like I said, your words prove that you appreciate imagery. Some people need hot coals shoveled in thier ears, we aren;t those kind of people. It is the nuance, the emotion, the Henri Rousseau hidden "monster". Well done, written, friend.
@MitchellWilsonMusic I am 32 year old female who has spent most of her youth traveling the United States, hearing different local, native sounds. I appreciate your commentary on Guthrie. You know, unless I am totally mistaken, the media labled Donovan the "New Dylan" to the point that back in the day, even Dylan dissed Donovan. Upon meeting Ian, briefly I have to add, he is non-pretentious, quiet dude who likes to read. And freaking wail live.
my mouth aint fed and lips aint cherry red and my grin might show my bad teeth and the people i pass, they give me a glance as if im some low class freak but to you im fine and im in your mind even if im not around absolutely beautiful
Hey, I've just heard these guys for the first time tonight and am hooked! I really want to download one of their albums but don't know which one. Any suggestions? I like Frankie's Gun and Whiskey in my Whiskey.
love, love, love their early stuff (as in, first two albums, which you can't even buy anymore...). aside from a select few songs, i've been greatly disappointed with their recent stuff. it's lost the magic that their early sound had. i'm not saying bands should stay the same, or shouldn't evolve, but i'm not crazy about the direction and sound of the boys' new music.
guitar piano and vocals he is singing this song Simone plays drums, guitar, and vocals Christmas is the bass player he is the one with a soul patch and looks like soccer jersey towards the end of this
Musically? Guthrie or Dylan perhaps. Personally? I don't know them but I did get a chance to speak and they seem to be really good guys Physically? The big man is James he plays accordian guitar and vocals Ian plays
it seems like no matter how good a band sounds, if they sound too much like a legend(i.e. Dylan) they never make it big. they just stay in the shadow and get compared to the legend.
To hell with that-- I can listen to any of their albums all the way through and not skip one song. I can't say that about Dylan. The singer's voice is similar (better in my opinion) but Dylan doesn't lay claim to all of the folk-americana genre.
I've never fallen for a band in the first ten seconds of hearing their music...until now.
Still loving all that they do. Seriously do yourself a favor and see them live.
Lucky enough to catch Felice Brothers show in Kilburn, London last month, astounding, blew everyone away
Lost Sons of Littlefield great too
I heard this band for the first time on the radio 2 days ago. They have to be the most refreshing new band ever... real music, unpretentious, fantastic !!
what else is missing... these men are bravery and poetry. never seen such honesty on video
I am a great lover of Bob Dylan, David Grey and that distinct sort of sound... Now from my home place all the way across the world to hear these guys is awesome... From Paris to Colombo Sri Lanka the Catskill mountains ring.
i've just discovered this band. I love it. The lead voice sound between Dylan & young David Bowie.
I love this band. Every album is amazing.
Saw them last night in SD. Best live show I've seen in years.
Those are my absolute favorite lines. I love the part of the video around that time where Searcher is messing around with Christmas. They are just such nice guys.

Worlds most underated band ever. Barely anyone knows about them. Tonight at the Arizona is definately their best album.
After overcoming the shock! I love Good old Zimmerman, I love Robbie Robertson and the boys in The Band, so I love those young dudes too :o) Keep on rollin' Arte!
listened to this tune like 20 times now, keeps gettin better and better..... KEEP ROLLIN ARTE!!!!!
the pogues of their generation , brilliant
i've been listening to this for years now..never gets old
A song you just don't want to ever end
Saw these guys in Rawchester opening for Bright Eyes on Thursday. I was very glad of it because they put on a great show and look forward to finding their recordings.
Thank you for turning me on to these guys! Now I have CD's on order and tickets to 2 shows! THANKS AGAIN!
Can't wait to see them tomorrow at the Troubadour in LA. I've missed seeing them twice.
Just saw em in Nashville. Epic show~
the opening act was amazing as well. kinda like a southeastern whitestripes sound!
anyway...love the felice brothers!!
Could this really be the sweet grandkids of my former landlords? I'm so proud of you guys!

As a big Dylan fan, its good to hear music today that is even comparable!
Seen these guys twice, they are insane live... always put on a good show. I got a piece of their washboard after the guy broke it haha

I love stuff from each of their albums....the first album recommended to me was the self titled "The Felice Brothers"....i'm going to see them in a few days....in their home country!!!

best band ever
Great chorus!
"In a while we'll be in a house by the sea, even if just in my mind......"
That is heady,heady stuff......gorgeous. Sigh.......
love it straight away, great song!
I smiled all the way through. That's all i have to say
"I am the Captain."

one of the best folk songs ever written. By, by robert zimmermann
Did Dylan write this?
thesittingbull sandpaper and glue voice
Enjoyed this video! All the best!!
Nice man! I thought it said something completely different haha!
Wrong person !!

Saw them last night in Boston opening for Mumfords. Phenomenal performance. Would have stole the show if not for the great Mumford and Sons lol
Palenville is basically a gas station, a post office, a bar and some houses. Thats about it. Oh, it also has a church and firehouse.
Went to see 'em in Cardiff recently unfortunately didnt play to many songs like this i shouted for them to play rockefeller druglaw! They didnt :'(
my mouth aint fed and lips aint cherry red
and my grin might show my bad teeth
and the people i pass, they give me a glance
as if im some low class freak
but to you im fine and im in your mind
even if im not around
absolutely beautiful
I likes it.
@BoobyMcDoogle I can feel that, as well. I lived in Potsdam, Ticonderoga and Plattsburgh. Well said, and your imagery isn't that bad either, ;)
The only negative thing you can say about this song is that it doesn't last long enough.
can't wait to see them with Conor Oberst later this year
almost like THE BAND!!
Hey, I've just heard these guys for the first time tonight and am hooked! I really want to download one of their albums but don't know which one. Any suggestions? I like Frankie's Gun and Whiskey in my Whiskey.
thanks larry
"touchdowns"
,dan'
Forever grateful to Radcliffe and Maconie for making my acquaintance...
FELICE BROTHERS, RIDRIGUEZ AND BOB DYLAN SHOULD DO A CONCERT TOGETHER
@iamkentphil420....you must see them live, they are even better in that way!!!!
@welldone1877 Ian's voice carries (echoes and re-echoes) the soul of Woody Guthrie taken to a new plateau
the singers voice is close to dylan's but they're different overall. I Love them
this song, for some reason, is not available on spotify
"I am the porter too."
,daniel"
"Pangea held"
It maiks more.)
beautiful! whats it about?
love, love, love their early stuff (as in, first two albums, which you can't even buy anymore...). aside from a select few songs, i've been greatly disappointed with their recent stuff. it's lost the magic that their early sound had. i'm not saying bands should stay the same, or shouldn't evolve, but i'm not crazy about the direction and sound of the boys' new music.
guitar piano and vocals he is singing this song
Simone plays drums, guitar, and vocals
Christmas is the bass player he is the one with a soul patch and looks like soccer jersey towards the end of this
originally off Ian town an through these reins and gone
man what happened to these guys - this stuff was fantastic...
rad
Musically? Guthrie or Dylan perhaps.
Personally? I don't know them but I did get a chance to speak and they seem to be really good guys
Physically? The big man is James he plays accordian guitar and vocals
Ian plays
They remind me more of The Band than Dylan. Where can I get this album? It's not available on itunes.
colincoby there website sells the album
"liftoffs"
,dan'
stupid question; can anyone tell me exactly what this song is about? thanks
Sounds more like Bob Dylan than Bob Dylan ever did. Amazing band.
his voice just kinda sounds like dylan's sometimes but he has his own voice and the band has their own style and he writes different. in my opinion
it seems like no matter how good a band sounds, if they sound too much like a legend(i.e. Dylan) they never make it big. they just stay in the shadow and get compared to the legend.
You should listen to ''Tip your way'' then.
@MitchellWilsonMusic Sorry, youtube keeps losing my posts then they magically reappear LOL
who cares about the video anyway, I would rather just close my eyes and take it all in.
"My so sorry Mannequin frown"
Nice man I thought it said something completely different :D!!
Oh my God! Dylan and the Band have reincarnated, even before they've died....
Great Music...C U at the Bowery Ballroom 04122008
To hell with that-- I can listen to any of their albums all the way through and not skip one song. I can't say that about Dylan. The singer's voice is similar (better in my opinion) but Dylan doesn't lay claim to all of the folk-americana genre.
die jungs sind wirklich cool

This sounds more like Bob Dylan than Jacob Dylan ;)
