Watch Bob Weir and Tyler Childers Cowl Merle Haggard’s ‘Mama Tried’ at All-Star New York Gig

Bob Weir and the Wolf Bros performed two nights at Radio Metropolis Music Corridor in New York this weekend, bringing out an all-star record of visitor performers that included Tyler Childers, John Mayer, Brittney Spencer, and bassist Ron Carter to have a good time the fiftieth anniversary of Weir’s album Ace. For certainly one of Childers’ appearances, the Kentucky singer-songwriter sang Merle Haggard’s “Mama Tried,” which the Grateful Lifeless carried out typically on tour.

Childers and Weir begin the music off with their guitars, Childers dealing with the fingerstyle determine that opens it and Weir peeling off the music’s signature bend earlier than the verse kicks in. Childers delivered his singing components with gusto, and the band took a number of bars to jam between verses. Simply because the music ends and Childers heads offstage, Weir and the band have already struck up the subsequent tune.

There was a second look by Childers earlier within the night, singing on Weir’s “Best Story Ever Informed.” Weir and the band arrange the music’s deep groove whereas Childers, this time with no guitar, did some critically soulful lead singing that was accented by horns and Weir’s guitar fills. Different performances included Weir’s Lifeless & Firm bandmate John Mayer on “Scarlet Begonias” and “Sugar Magnolia” and Brittney Spencer becoming a member of in for “Samson & Delilah” and “Stroll within the Sunshine.”

Weir and the Wolf Bros — together with Don Was on upright bass and Jay Lane on drums — launched the album Reside in Colorado through Third Man Information in February.
