Thanks! I first got to see Tim and Hot Rize in 1988!
Tim, thanks for talking with Otis and us! Nellie Kane forever!
Speaking of duet albums, one of my desert island discs is Tim and Darrell Scott. What talent! Also, an old picking buddy's cousin, Joe Diffy died of the covid about the same time Prine did. It was a tough year for the heart.
Yessir Tim. CEtainly got worse before better and covid had no enemies. It was happy to visit anyone who got in it's way.
What can I say Otis, your interviews just keep getting better and better !!!🐿️😎🐿️
Otis, love your channel. I learn so much good stuff. But something is bothering me. Every time I hear guys from Nashville talk about the incredible expertise in that town, not only the musicians but the song writers, I wonder how in the hell there is so much crap on country radio right now. This past weekend I drove from NC to south Georgia to visit some cousins and the country songs were simple dreadful. Someone like John Prine is probably rolling over in his grave listening to all those lyrics about tight jeans, pickup trucks, front porches, and watermelons. What, pray, can be done about this?
It's amazing to think Prine wrote some of those early tunes when he was like 19 or 20 years old. Sam Stone etc. Just like Hank, he was wise beyond his years, or what some like to call an old soul. I gotta star eating more meatloaf and hot dogs or something.
👍
Arnold Schwartz may he get the recognition he deserves
Great interview!! Tim is one of the best musicians I have ever heard! What a talent!!!
Thank you Otis.
Whoa, just roll out the bluegrass heavy-hitters, why don't ya?! Fantastic interview with Tim. I love everything Hot Rize has ever done.
I know this is a Prine discussion, but Hot Rize is an amazing group. If you’re into vinyl, the Hot Rize self titled album absolutely smokes, it’s mixed/mastered really well.
Love Tim… thanks!!
Tim &Otis write a song about Arnold Swartz Y'all…
Take a listen to the John Prine tribute song by songwriter Dennis Callahan. It's quiet good.
Maybe the best yet, thanks O.
Morgantown, not Morganton… I know it’s a miniscule mistake but it’s my hometown
Another great one for the internet !
👌👌🥲😎
This is sooo rich !!!!!
My Lord Tim . . . the Africans even invented Celtic music . . . I am so sick of hearing this shit . . .
Covid took Charlie Pride too.
I'm not going to pretend I know who this dude is, but I aim to find out. Thanks for another great set of storytelling. Love your channel.
Over 1 million Americans died from Covid-19.
Over 1 million Americans died from Covid-19.
Great interview… “ meatloaf Wednesdays”… !!!
I'm a warrior of the Hot Rize trails, never missed a show at the old Niwot Grange. Brownies and lemonade, takin' breaks out back.
Some days the tears remind me that I still mourn the loss of John
Thanks for this, I could listen to Tim all day, singing, picking or talking, he´ s one of the best.
We need an Otis Gibbs Historical Conservation of Oral Insights of Americana, Country & Bluegrass Musicians through personal stories.
So Otis, who the heck don't you know? 😊 Thanks for this and so many other great interviews.
I don't know if it's just me, but many of my new music discoveries over the past 8 years have come from listening to your podcasts & YouTube posts. Sincere thank you for adding new (new to me) artists to my listening world. Cheers to ya sir and Nancy (my gal) sends a hug
I love singing John Prine songs and folks never complain. One of the best song writers ever. But Tim, listen to me, you are catching up with John. You are an amazing writer in your own right.
What a great way to start my day, stumbling onto this interview. I've been a Prine fan forever and an O'Brien fan nearly as long (Ophelia Swing Band days). I miss John big time, and Tim gets all my attention when he's around, which unfortunately isn't often enough (N. Cal). Thanks!
I truly appreciate you keeping John’s legacy in the stream. That man did so much for so many people you could take all the people those people inspired and it wouldn’t be half the sum of Johns contributions. I wasn’t never good at math but I know something about music. Wish you all the love
Great great interview. I've been a fan of Tim O'Brian. So it's cool hear him tell stories.
Incredible story about Arnold Schultz. Good for all of us to know about this history. A bit like another unsung, mostly unknown guitar player named Leslie Riddle who traveled and collected songs with AP Carter, and influenced May-belle Carter's guitar playing style. No Arnold Schultz? … maybe no Bill Monroe? No Leslie Riddle, .. Maybe No Carter Family? No Carter Family or no Bill Monroe? Whoa…..unimaginable
Very interesting! Thanks!
The Rosine Project – Monroe Foundation – Jerusalem Ridge – The Birthplace of American Blue Grass Music – High Above Rosine Kentucky in Ohio County,. I seen John Prine in concert at Louisville gardens in Kentucky back in 2010.. it was a great show, he's the best comedian I've ever seen, also a pretty good guitar picker, God bless John rip
You Tim I don't know but you are so fortunate to be around and know all these folks that you have spoken about . I envy you . w TIhat do you play or sing Tim
