Fantastic. As over-played and over-covered as this song is- it still has real power.

Great sift!

More background information from Reddit:

"When they brought this guy on they had no idea he could sing. It was just going to be a radio bit promoting their upcoming “homeless shopping spree.” During the interview it came up that he has written some songs and could play guitar. So they went and got the man a guitar (he did not own one himself) and he proceeded to shock the hell out of everyone. No one expected him to be as good as he was. He played two other songs that he wrote that are kind of in the style of Dave Matthews or John Mayer, I would imagine that stuff will be online shortly."

Here also is an archive containing MP3s of all the songs he performed (YMMV on the legality - I'm not endorsing its download if it's not ok to do so!):

I found this on reddit:
"To summarize what's not seen in any of his short clips from Opie's YouTube channel, Mustard moved to NYC in search of some sort of an acting career, and quickly fell onto troubled times when dealing with alcohol troubles. Shortly after his first appearance (perhaps during, I can't recall), Opie promised to work with Mustard to get some sort of music produced for him to have an income to get him on the right track, but their first attempts at a recording session went horrendously wrong because Mustard kept showing up drunk if at all. About a month or two ago, Mustard again came in studio but informed the boys and the listeners that he'd entered a halfway house dedicated to sober living and that he was making a concerted effort to turn things around. His demeanor and attitude seemed much brighter and happier the last time he was in studio, especially when comparing it to the first appearance shown above.
Furthermore, the Taylor guitar he plays in the video is absolutely not his, it's owned by Sirius/XM. It was provided to him for his appearance (and all subsequent appearances) only during the show by Opie and Anthony. He did not bring his own guitar to the show, but has told stories about having expensive guitars broken or stolen while living on the streets of New York. For his third appearance on the show, he played a guitar that was signed by Paul McCartney - again, not his guitar. He was brought to the show by Anthony's NYPD buddy initially to participate in a charity shopping spree for some of the NYC homeless, so up until recently he was without a roof over his head more often than not. Other videos of Mustard's appearances on O&A are available on Opie's YT channel if you want to do some searching (Mustard in the channel's search bar should do the trick). I hope that clears some things up for everyone."

Thanks enoch! Great choice for a promote IMO

He's cleaned up his act and gotten sober as of the last time he was on Opie and Anthony. He also gave the story of how he became homeless.

God... Thats a sign I've been a sound engineer to long... The mic is a Rodes c1000, I use them a lot, lovely things... Also the cover was awesome...

I had a good day today, and hearing this again just made it better.

Why is this guy homeless again?

And remember that last guy who could sing and was homeless? He made a lot of money and then fell back into addiction and everybody was pissed about it because a company tried to take him in and produce stuff for him and whatnot.. I forget his name though. All I remember was he was a black guy and it was several months back.

Found this the first time just now via @Zawash's Tori Amos live cover.

One of the first songs that really reached me in my formative years.

I never get tired of hearing covers of this song, as I said almost six years ago in this same thread, the song has power.

On reflection, I think it's the chords. Something about that melancholy shift from F major to minor.
