One of his best

It takes the genius of Springsteen to write this touching ballad and Ian Noe to perform it to perfection.

The chord progression and energetic atmosphere of the original song have been significantly changed to create a melancholic arrangement, which is also wonderful!

I'm proud of this guy, great talent. He's from Kentucky like me.

My favorite song now I swear to God he said my uncle Waylon Jackson but he said you can hear him from Jackson. So what I’m naming my son Waylon Jackson any way. I’m southern but he’s Appalachian southern this Ian noe and that’s great.been listening to this song non stop since I heard it on colter wall radio on Spotify

Better than great.

Reminds of me of Pink Floyd but with country.

“They’re still there but he’s all gone”

"I’ll never forget the time I called OH on the phone and his producer, Brown Eyes, told me he was out walking his cat and that he would call me back when he came back inside and he did indeed call me back." not mine, taken from another comment elsewhere, much love from the shenandoah valley

Sadly i am irene

Now then, get me a musician and as the musician played God's hand came upon him, and the rest laided upon that old Chopin block;

This whole album is great.

Song could fit right in with red dead 2

It might be just me, but I think I hear a Mickey Newbury influence on this song. Not a damn thing wrong with that...🥃

Just discovered you bc I was listening to Pandora. I absolutely love this song

O.H. Napier was from Hardshell

You tube rabbit holes take you to some glorious places!

Alot sun u bring my heart Love u music love u style from Poland 🇵🇱

One of my favorites. He's got other songs that are just as great, all of them paint a vivid picture.

this has some awesome range, best southern rock sound i've herd in awhile like a Willie Nelson, CCR, Skynyrd, John Prine, Dwight Yoakem vibe. this guy does it right. keep killin it bro.

The redpill is that Bruce Springsteen was singing sad and based songs in a way that sounded like standard stadium music

CRIMINAL this doesn’t have more views. Amazing story telling and composition. This song has quickly become a favorite of mine that I can’t seem to never not enjoy listening to it. Superb work!

Simply incredible, what a talent.

I remember Ian from way back in like elementary or middle school, I believe. It's so wild to see someone from your area make it big. He's such a talent. It makes me happy to see him representing Eastern Kentucky's people the way he has, and I can't wait to see how far he goes.

Powerful.

I remember meeting you at Big Bone State Park then a coffee shop in Oxford Ohio very talented young man.

Good Tune..Ian. "Ol Irene" she gets me through.👍🐾🎸✝️☮️🇺🇸

There aint many like you my friend. Ian, I'm a British lad that got left behind by you lot. I thought you were somebody that my Dad would know. Letter to Madeline is incredible, but this is very special too. Please, keep making music my man. I can't bare this electronic background to everything these days

Holy shit your voice is incredible!!

rest easy girl. im sorry

Brilliant ! what chords are you playing? Your vocal inflections are perfect.

This one hits close man. I used to have a pretty bad drinking problem.

Goddamn!!! I can HEAR the pain! Fantastic!!! This is one of the BEST covers!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

They got the farmhouse burning, watched it burn to the ground Smoke filled the horizon just two miles from town There was no need to worry, there was no one who'd care It was a dog den where good men were rare With the wheels on the highway through the cold autumn rain Out came the pistols and a book full of names Thumbing each one who'd sing out the words Facing hard time is an old junkie curse On down between the country Where deer lay along the road On down between the country Where a long life is a blessed one, I'm told When they caught up with Henry, he was out in his yard Splitting that beechwood before the winter hit hard Laid a bullet in his back, watched him drop like a rock And come to rest 'cross that old chopping block Anne Carol ran the uppers from the laundry downtown Played online poker when there was no one around And except for a few strays in the dead parking lot Not a soul heard the thud or the shot On down between the country Where deer lay along the road On down between the country Where a long life is a blessed one, I'm told ❤❤❤❤

This is the music I try to tell people about, don't stop my brother

Jesus, listened to this by mistake...it's like...the best track I've ever heard. Banger! Downloading the shit out of Ian Noe. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Well yeah....

I live in Beattyville where Ian is from PROUD of my hometown people!! Keep up the GREAT MUSIC

I represent KY and I approve this message

I am not a big Springsteen fan - but this song is one of his best compositions - and this cover of it is amazing - much better than the original --- Springsteen's "Ghost of Tom Joad" is also an awesome composition - totally reimagined in an amazing cover by Rage Against the Machine

Godbless you dad. R.F.Jr

Awesome. Nothing to say.

Love this!!! Thank you very much from Albany New York. Cheers.

Written about oh napier

This is crazy.,.this is Krisstoferson, before us. Lol, its Prine,its Dylan, and some oĺd school austin writer cool shit. Feels dirty and real like VanZandt...makes me feel like nobody and everbody loves me all at now. God looks after "Drunks And Fools." Somedays, i have risen from the "dead", as both. Sorry, for the faint of heart, i laughed, with the rest of yall.

I want to see. Red dead redemption clip for this song .

I swear to God, finding music like this gives me so much hope that there really are young artists out there playing their guitar, writing REAL country music with REAL lyrics instead of all of the crap we hear coming out of Nashville these days. Love it !!!!

Song like a 300 page book in 4 minutes

America practices all 14 defining characteristics of fascism and it's songs like this that remind me of that. The characteristics that stand out the most is their obsession with national security, identifying their enemy (usually communists), and supremacy of the military, and an obsession with crime and punishment. Since WW2, America has always been at war with someone, always found a way to continually pump money into the military and the corporations that manufacturer for them, but how many victories have the USA actually had since WW2? Korea was a flop, resulting in a stalemate. Vietnam was a flop. The USA withdrew. The Cold War was a decades long bluff. Gorbachev discussed with Reagan that he wanted both USSR and USA to dismantle a significant portion of their nuclear weapons but Reagan's arrogance prevented that from ever happening, unable to accept that the "enemy" wanted to do something that was objectively good. If Reagan were to go along with such plans then there would no longer be an enemy to identify. The war on terror has had no clear victory and the war on drugs hasn't been a success either given that drugs have won. If a nation truly has freedom, why would they ever need such a large military? Living in constant fear is NOT freedom. Iceland sets an excellent example, a country with no military and some of the best living standards in the world.
