"Mason Jar Music Presents" is a video concert series inspired by the peacefulness and tranquility of the old buildings that continue to dot New York City's 21st-century landscape. These productions provide a setting and space for fresh, unique music with compelling arrangements that breathe new life into each song.
Each episode is dreamed up and brought to life wholly by the Mason Jar Music team. Songs are carefully selected from the artist's repertoire and re-imagined with arrangements for strings, woodwinds and other assorted orchestral colors. - Hudba
The bass solo 👌🏻🤌🏻
My friend used to get drunk grab a guitar and play their music. A year ago today he didn’t see no way but out and took his life. I wish he realized he was the luckiest man in so many ways. Love you Kenny. I hope you found the peace you were looking for.
RIP
It is never easy.. What's sad is I understand where he was.
i'M so SORRY
Hey man, I know how you feel, I shed tears everytime for the same reason.
Sorry brother
Rip Desiree beck we loved this song and I’ll forever remember our times together holding each other and loving each other so much like there was never another bad health scare until it was too much and I lost you I love you ❤️
This song honestly helped me out of a dark place recently. I won’t go into the details, but I felt like giving up was the only thing I had strength left to do. Listening to this song, encouraged me to think of the problems in my life other people might even say I was “lucky” to have.
This is my favorite song. Not my favorite Wood Brothers song, not my favorite folk song. My favorite song. Period.
Just saw the Wood Brothers on the beach of the Jersey shore under the full moon. Best concert ever.
Mike Howe (RIP) Sent me here. He loves your Band. I am digging it too🤘
I just lost my 3rd brother, now it is just me, this song says it all, I was the "Luckiest Man" to be raised with such fine brothers, such is the tale of the tape for Vietnam, we all participated, and the price must be paid, GOD BLESS MY BROTHERS, WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN ! Thank YOU Wood Brothers for this song, it warms my heart !
Cheers to you and your brothers
I think your brothers are okay. I was listening to this and I decided to scroll through the comments while also looking at the change from my pocket(something I don't do) I read your comment and was immediately emotional and looked down at the coin in my hand.
misprint
two eagles.
no shit
I'm serious.
I debated telling you because it was so friggin weird.
I'm sorry if it was offensive or too evocative.
thank you and your brothers for your sacrifices.
were gonna be okay.
We walk the path destined for our feet to trod. I too have question why I am spared from the trauma taking my life. I was never a soldier in combat, but have suffered trauma and survived. I know survivor’s guilt can weigh a spirit down. However, never lose sight of your gratitude and faithfulness. Blessed be brother. Your brothers’ spirits soar and are immortal 🌍🌬🌊🔥
Raw an beautiful - The Wood Brothers are a national treasure.
Totally agree
It's not just the lyrics, not just the music or the raspy vocals. It's the entire acoustic package.
I'm starting to believe that if a band's title has "Brothers" in it and is under the folk genre, they are probably really good.
savvysunshineee check out the brothers comatose
savvysunshineee Punch brothers too!
I went to like this comment and apparently had already done so once before lol.
Avett Brothers.
savvysunshineee good outlook
This song helped me get through the loss of my son. Beautiful music, powerful song.
My 8 year old son LOVES this song...Everytime listen to this my heart melts...we love you ii😘
I onced rented an apartment from a man by the name of Wood. He and his brother used to get into fights and sing at one another to settle their disputes. Although i no longer live in his apartment, the memory of those times lives on in my mind, i can remember their songs. As a child, i couldnt imagine this would one day be the csse. Also, this is a really good song.
My Aunt played this song at her sons funnel. The bottom of his grave says luckiest man. Every time I hear this song I cry like a baby.
+mommatokaylee Funeral
+mommatokaylee now you've got me crying
+mommatokaylee damn thats pretty sad
I feel bad for u my 11 friend killed himself last year
Me, too.
I learned the version of Sitting On Top Of The World I do from Oliver at Neverland Farms in 2003. This song is my daughter’s favorite. Hey Oliver…Your Bobby Loves you.
Man those bass solo's get me every time.
This may be the best song I have ever heard. Neil Young good.
rasafrasahassenfrat This is in the top ten now. Working into the top 5. Heart of Gold good. City of New Orleans good. Not only is it a good song, the whole package is done well. Life long fan created.
+rasafrasahassenfrat An amazing song. Definitely underrated
Jordan Balzer The Wood Bros. kill it. I would love to see someone else take it to the next level.
rasafrasahassenfrat have you heard their new album?
+rasafrasahassenfrat You should see them live, they KICK!
This song touches my soul
A throw back to another time. A place in time to be in. Glad I stumbled onto these guys. My lucky week for discovering new sounds. This makes me the "luckiest woman"...** Smiles**
I saw the wood brothers live like 2 years ago in Minneapolis opening for G. Love. Best opening act I've ever seen. Can't go wrong with that upright bass.
Such a beautiful song. Brings me back to the simpler days. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Running is useless
Fighting is foolish
Love the wood brothers
Too many horses and mysterious forces, that sh!t hit me hard
hearing a bit of Van Morrison in this!
"Try to keep my faith and keep my mind
Hate to lose either one when the whip cracks behind"
Thats one of my favorite best lyrics. So good
Oh man!!!! Was für ein wunderschönes Stück!!!!
I can't be the onlt one who hears just a hint of the Pixie's Where is my mind (especially the trampled by turtles version) in this? Fantastic tune, favorited.
Definitely, same chords for part of it. Dope song
Definitely
Ronald Colman I was hearing more “say it ain’t so”
This, where is my mind, and say it ain't so, are all based around the same or very similar guitar chord progression.
I definitely agree!
I love this song 💗🍀 I have listened to this song multiple times, and I think this song speaks to gratitude and contentment.
Love this song those Chords get me .. the echo and acoustics of the hallway .. awesome thanks wood bros.
I listen to this song several times a week. I believe you. Can't say that about allot of people anymore.
Now this is music...
I heard you, for the first time, singing this recently at the Philadelphia Folk Festival ... I stood mesmerized by the truth of this poignant, simple message coming up the hill to me in the darkness ... so true to life's epic quest for joy. Thank you for it, and for delivering it so well. For I am indeed one of those luckiest men, and it was nice to hear that sung!

This will play at my wedding 😬🙏
Ein Hausflur für den Hall reicht! Geniale Typen.
One word for these guys: AWESOME!
WOW! I mean WOW! I know what I am listening to for the next forever.
This band is performing in PA this weekend. Road trip from long island NY
bryan wizz just saw this reply now. Are they still performing this weekend?
The Stand up bass is insane good. This version of the song it is 'mic'd up loud. You can hardly hear it on most of their songs. PLEASE pump the bass
Fox Theater staff in Oakland love you guys. Keep coming and I’ll keep working for free just to listen from the balcony
That bass is COOKING son - love this song and this band.. jeez
Makes me miss my friend an awful lot when I hear this song. It's beautiful
"I don't talk to the devil when he calls my name
But sometimes when I'm losing it all seems the same
And when I fall I'm back up again
Just to slip on the same mistakes and slide right back in."
That verse says it all
good work guys!....it's rare to hear well written music,with good lyrics....cheers
my favorite Wood Bro's song. I have saw them in concert once they put on a phenomenal show.
I love this song so much
beautiful.
What a great tune!
Makes my soul happy
I love this song!!! so much
Simply brilliant...the playing, the feeling, the song. Spectacular.
I think it was a couple years ago when I first heard the wood brothers ,and have been a fan from the first time I heard them
I can't stop singing and playing this song. A really good one!
Saw them live last night what a great show
Oh my lord love these guys so awesome chills for sure
Beautiful.
such an amazing song :)
Beautiful 🙏
song makes my soul tingle!
I Love this tune
Music or being great in general does not have anything to do with coming in first, let's face it; that is just impossible in music :) I'm sure we are all proud for knowing progressions and lyrics to favorite songs, but these gentlemen are true artists with real passion. Thank you Wood Brothers, you inspire me to pick up my old Yamaha and sing from my belly!
Great song...thank you!
So good... This one hits hard.
So talented!!
perfect
So damn good.
Beautiful. As are all the productions of Mason Jar. Keep up the good work! Love what you guys do.
awesome!!
They're the BEST!!!!!!
His voice gives me a really nice warm feeling.
I just played along with my banjo! love this song!
So good
Amazing song. Great video production. Perfect setting!
These guys are fantastic; love every album! Awesome musicianship, great lyrics, spot-on arrangements.... One of the bands I keep coming back to, whatever my mood; they have a song or ten to fit!
I ran across these guys doing a free performance in Mad Square in NY on a very hot August afternoon. Sat through the whole thing despite the heat and a nice cool hotel room waiting a couple of block away. Been a fan ever since. They just keep getting better.
Love this song 👍🏻. Acoustic version is the best I've heard.
You guys are awesome ❤
Brilliant
Oh my god why is this song so damn good!
so good.
I like this rendition.
Simple and soulful
gave me chills..if it gives me chills, it's a good tune
Still just as good as ever! Almost 2020 lets go!!!!
Monster bassist
My son turned me on to this..I sure do miss him.
these guys were awesome at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in sf last weekend..favorite set
Beautiful
Possibly the best song ever! My young son loves this song, He connected to it... This is what it's all about... connecting to the ordinary people... you have touched our lives with this amazing song... thank you
See this band live. You will utter the term, "flawless" or "musical perfection" repeatedly.
I love your song guys, just wanted to let you know.
Thank you. I'm now a fan.
awesome, shreds on bass.
Very Cool!!
STILL LOVE the WOOD Bros! 5 yrs later...see comment below!
For a long time I loved mmw and saw them a bunch of times who knew Chris had a brother that was equally talented this band is a true testament that good roots music will always shine above
These guys are amazing live! Do yourself a favor and see them if they come to town.
My whole Saturday and Sunday too
I was thinking about ways not to lose
I lay down my weapons is what I've done
Too late to hide, feet too soft to run
But people say I'm the luckiest man
Yeah they say
Running is useless and fighting is foolish
You're not gonna win but still you're the luckiest man you're up against
And too many horses and mysterious forces
What you don't know is you are the luckiest man
You're the luckiest man
I done talked to the devil when he calls my name
But sometimes when I'm losing it all seems the same
And when I fall I'm back up again
Just to slip on the same mistakes and slide right back in
But people say I'm the luckiest man
Yeah they say
Running is useless and fighting is foolish
You're not gonna win but still you're the luckiest man you're up against
And too many horses and mysterious forces
What you don't know is you are the luckiest man
You're the luckiest man
Try to keep my faith and keep my mind
Hate to lose either one when the whip cracks behind
And I can't help but mourning just a little each night
People say everything is gonna be all right
They say I'm the luckiest man
Yeah they say
That running is useless and fighting is foolish
You're not gonna win but still you're the luckiest man you're up against
And too many horses and mysterious forces
What you don't know is you are the luckiest man
You're the luckiest man
You're the luckiest man
chris is such a badass. those solos and harmonies are heavenly. and of course oliver is the man.
wow. just wow.
