Thread: Sierra Hull on Steven Colbert

    Someone bought me this album and i hadn't heard of him before. I haven't played anything else since - I've been obsessed with it.
    I thought he must be some old country singe rin his sixties, I was surprised to see him being so young with a voice so rich with experience. The lyrics are fantastic, the playing beyond criticism, I'm a fan.

    I’m sure it didn’t take you long to get that one under your fingers! Lol’s. Sierra hits it out of the park like mmuler says in so many words in post #26. Awesome breaks! BTW, Tim’s gidup, bibs and Tommy Bahama’s shirt is just crazy cool. He’s such a great artist. Thanks once again David L for the great post.

    Last night they were on Jimmy Kimmel (different show than above) on another mainstream broadcast TV network (ABC). The mandolin content is mostly the usual bluegrass mando-snare-drum rhythm thing, but there are mandolin short snippets at 0:17 and 2:19:


    (or direct link)

    Agreed that it doesn't exactly showcase Sierra's tremendous talent in just a couple seconds of pickin'.

    But, as others above have said, it's a gig. In a pandemic year. And on TV at that.

    At least they didn't make her wear a miniskirt or other gratuitous nonsense.

    The non-mandolinist TV masses are probably wondering, "Who's that pretty lady on that little guitar?"

    Tim O'Brian isn't wearing that awesome shirt this time, unfortunately.

    Yes! And is his shirt covered with cannabis leaves? Quite floral regardless.

    Love a good crossover project myself. Loved it when Lester Flatt sang Dyan on Changing Times, even if it wasn't his favorite. The clip above shows a nice guitar lead in. I will check out some of his other stuff. The bluegrass clip above that is awesome.

    Most of us aren't allowed a gig.

    Everyone likes different things I guess.
    I think the vocals are genius. A bit like Andrew from Mandolin Orange.
    I understand that the band has very specific goals to attain in that short length off time and I think they did really well. It was a bit The Traveling Wilburys.

    And all the pain he expresses in the vocals, and Sierra’s there, wonderful playing with warm supporting bluegrass riffs.
    I did wonder if anyone thought that her tone was a bit A style and, dare I say it, deep like and octave mandolin?

    But no-one seems to have noticed the psycho in the suit waving the deadly weapon.
    Was no-one else reminded of bottle and knife fights in the ‘70s?
    But I guess it’s all part of the show.

    If Mike Bub is on it, for starters, you know it's going to have the groove if nothing else.

    The Cuttin Grass albums are actually my favorite thing Sturgill Simpson has done. Hard not to watch that Colbert clip and not feel like Sierra Hull really shined.
