My favorite Jamey Johnson song. Gentlemen, your cover just brought tears to the eyes of a 56 year old man whose heart has been hardened by this world. Thank you for making me feel something.
I'm 69 and love Jamey Johson's version of this song. But this version by Black Mojo hits hard too. Especially when the intensity of those guitars come crashing in all at once.
Wow I'm 54 and I LITERALLY just wiped the tears from my eyes. I don't know U but judging by your words, I kinda do. I think we have a lot in common. I also think it's a beautiful gift to be able to truly feel music on such a deep level. Not everyone can. May U be blessed in every way possible. If not here on the other side. Looking forward to meeting U my friend.
OMG! That song brought back memories of my Grandpa. He was a decorated WWII HERO!!!! He passed 7 years ago at 95 years young. I loved to listen to his stories about him a his buddies during WWII. That was the GREATEST GENERATION WHO EVER LIVED! I'm 57 years old and it was my honor to stand in his shadow!!!!!
I lost my loving wife of 30 years last Sunday. The original version was one of her favorite songs, and y'all did a great job with it. I can see our wedding pics in my mind every time I hear it, and I cry every time but its what needs to be done.
How has only 1.8 million people experienced this level of perfection? Seems like 330 million others on the planet are missing out, and yet here I am listening again for the 4th or 5th year in a row.
Don’t worry, they’re original music has far surpassed the 1.8 million mark; four albums, played with Bon Jovi, and Marshall tucker band. They’re doing well. Sincerely, Proud past roomie of one of the members.
Why is country music drifting towards pop/country when there is a PERFECT love child to be made in the rock/country department like this...a perfect mix of the country feel with the emotion of the heavier instrumentals.
Taking a country rooted song.. blessed it w a touch of the blues and saturated it w southern rock.. this is how you make a blacktop mojito.. shaken never stirred!
Joel A It is very good, but the original is one of my favorite songs. It is very nice to see someone new put their take on a great song. It is a very good remake, but like I said, the original is just that, an original.
This song has always reminded me of my Great Grandad. Best man I’ve ever known. He taught me how to play the guitar on their front porch while we talked about his time in WW2 and his “Good Ol Days” growing up during the depression and the time that he had with my Great Grandmother. He’s gone now and there are very few WW2 veterans left to tell their stories. I’ve got the memories and this song. Y’all nailed it.
This aong hits home for me and it was performed perfectly. My grandfather was born in the 20's, lived through the depression, served in WWII, was apart of the team that liberated Auschwitz, and came home to marry my grandmother. He passed July 12, 2018 at the age of 93. When i hear this song, i think of him.
I was introduced to this song by a girl who lives in Canada and fell for❤ I instantly fell in love with this song thanks to her, as time pasted we both moved on but still to this day everytime I hear this it reminds me of her and it brings me that smile that I lost along time ago, Amazing song always one il remember
Everyone says that if they had the choice between losing sight or sound they'd choose sound. This is one of those songs that changes that outlook. A true gem for all of us fortunate enough to hear it. Thank you Blacktop Mojo! Wonderfully done.
Man...this is my first time hearing this version. My first thought was "No... no no no" and it quickly turned to "Holy shit, that was good...Im impressed". Great job keeping it what it is and not going crazy on it
These guys are amazing performers, and solid good people, too. Happy I'll be seeing them live for the fourth time, this Thursday night, and for the fifth time, on August 19th. They're that good.
Wow, wow, wow...….I may not be 'that' religious, but when I heard this song,...... my word's came out like this... 'LORD..., JESUS CHRIST...., AMEN!!!!!!!! They killed this song soooo good!
Please put this song on your next full length release. This song and your performance paint such a beautiful emotional picture it is damn near perfect. This is what real music is all about. I’m sure Jamey Johnson approves!
I'm a huge huge huge Jamey Johnson fan, this is one of my most favorite songs of his, thank you for doing an awesome cover. Thank you for respecting the song, but adding a tasteful twist to it. Love it!!
Scott, couldn't agree more! There are certain artists and songs that I'm absolutely critical of, this being one of them. I just stumbled upon Mojo Blacktop and saw this video. Very impressive and very well done. I just became a huge fan!!!
As I sit here at my desktop listening to this..literally weeping..looking up at the wall above me, at the framed black&white portraits; one of mom and dad on their wedding day, (yeah...she was 18, had black hair & blue eyes and was beautiful) and one of dad as a 10 year old share cropper's son in '41...and another as a proud US Army infantryman headed to war in Korea in '51..and the all the other cherished elders on my 'family wall'...all now long departed. Dammit-BOYS!...ya'll killed me with this one!...in a good way!...moved my heart and soul with the power of an earthquake! Thank you! Thank You! THANK YOU for this! LOVE-it! Ya'll keep going and do not stop!
You guys are probably the best raw rock band of this time. Incredible Lyrics, Incredible energy, synergy, and vocals. Never give up, you are meant for greatness.
I found your music a few days ago on youtube. You guys are inspirational. Im in Kabul Afghanistan and will be here until January. I have absolutely loved everything I've heard from you guys and I've found a new favorite artist. Thank you guys...
OK, we saw BTM last month in Syracuse, NY. We already know 'they can put together any type of playlist', and it'll soar on the chart's, and this song is so killer 'by them'....picture them tearing up a rock song then, a totally country tune, immediately folllowing,....beautiful and still country/rock,...everyone's happy :)
When the guitar's harmonize, I see 'BOSTON',...….one of my top fav band's ever! And you boy's didn't even mean to 'do that to me, ha ha! " YEAH! My ear's know good music, I was just born that way :) What a gift to be given?!!!!
It's rare that a band does a cover that is basically a reenactment of the original yet sounds distinct, this is one of those case, kudos you musical masters.
Love your stuff and the covers you choose to do. I am a UK guy living in Thailand with my baby son. THIS is what I love about America and what I always admired about your country and a certain set of people who live there. Cheers lads!
Pure talent, they have awesome covers, and awesome orginals as well. This man can sing, and his talent behind him guitars and drums are awesome. Great Band!!
My favorite thing about a band who has the courage to Step out of the box and cover a great song to make it their own personal style of their vision of artistic talent...great job...
Love this! This song is this touching to me because I was a thousand times closer to my GREAT-grandparents as I am to my grandparents, and just as close as I am to my parents now. It's one I associated with my great grandparents from the minute I heard it because he fought in WWII, and she faked her age for them to get married when she was 15, both had blue eyes and they were the loves of each others lives until the day she died. I lost him in August of 2000, but I was lucky enough to introduce her to both of her great-great-grandsons, and for her to watch them grow for 1 and 3 years before she passed away on May 16, 2011. To this day it's the ringtone that would play if her number ever called me again so it takes a lot for me to praise a cover for this song but you guys did an awesome job! Keep up the good work!
Blacktop Mojo, u guys r now my Favorite new Band..i wish i could hire u to play at my sons Wedding..keep the tunes coming..if your ever in Tillsonburg, Ontario Canada..look me up..
We are currently getting ready to make our third record! Want to be a part of the process? Check it out here: www.pledgemusic.com/projects/blacktop-mojo-new-album?referrer=site_search
You guys are awsome. Some amazing covers. Can you do a cover of "Hurt". Was originally written for a nine inch nails song but cash did a great cover. Would like to see how your would sound. Thank
Black Top Mojo, Red Dragon Cartel, and the Winery Dogs always have a spot played on my show... Murray "the Murdog" Rock100 KRNP North Platte,Ne Western Nebraska's Rock station.... you guys are chill af... Rock hard brothers...
Really love and respect your performance of this piece. An embrace of your East Texas vocals that will go far and be accepted by more than one musical style.
Man I really like this band ..reminds so much of Shinedown...great vocals..can sing anything..that mix is what is going to make them become a big hit..they just need their big hit to make their name go BIG!!!
Hi from bonnie Scotch-land ! Been listening to y'all for a few months now. Only just found this cover.....wtf. guaranteed hit if u ever release it. Own tunes top class too. Come over to Scotland....
Came across you guys a few days ago and all I can say is thank God for TH-cam. Love the sound, it's fresh and original, a style thats all your own. You hit that sweet spot and you just can't help but feel it. It feeds my soul and leaves me wanting more. You definitely have something special that's missing in much of today's music. I'll shut up now and go back to listening.
My favorite Jamey Johnson song. Gentlemen, your cover just brought tears to the eyes of a 56 year old man whose heart has been hardened by this world. Thank you for making me feel something.
AND a 57 yo
You have a new fan.

Ya , hurting /crying is a part of the healing process . Sucks but it is what it is …. My prayers are with you . 🙏😊
I have no words. None at all that can say how much I am
sorry for your loss. Live strong knowing that you were blessed
by her prescence in your life.
Sorry for your loss❤

We don't use auto tune lol , not accepted by the pop mafia.
Money, it ruins everything.
Taking a country rooted song.. blessed it w a touch of the blues and saturated it w southern rock.. this is how you make a blacktop mojito.. shaken never stirred!
This version is far better than the original I think.
Joel A It is very good, but the original is one of my favorite songs. It is very nice to see someone new put their take on a great song. It is a very good remake, but like I said, the original is just that, an original.
Well put my friend, well put.

Amen. I say that all the time, “Lord, if you should take one of my senses away ever, I beg you not to take my hearing”. I couldn’t go on.
Stellar cover. The fact this band isn't more popular is ridiculous
This is f'n awesome cover of a great country song.
In loving memory of my grandma... love and miss you so much... think of you every day.. thanks for beeing loved... and for teaching to love ...
Thank you for my home.. family ... for beeing saved... for your Smile... thanks for your incredible heart .. love you.. dave

Man...this is my first time hearing this version. My first thought was "No... no no no" and it quickly turned to "Holy shit, that was good...Im impressed". Great job keeping it what it is and not going crazy on it
My very thoughts..... I was sickened to see they were doing this, until I gave it a listen.,.. WOW!
These guys are amazing performers, and solid good people, too. Happy I'll be seeing them live for the fourth time, this Thursday night, and for the fifth time, on August 19th. They're that good.
Wow, wow, wow...….I may not be 'that' religious, but when I heard this song,...... my word's came out like this... 'LORD..., JESUS CHRIST...., AMEN!!!!!!!! They killed this song soooo good!
I think maybe this should not have been touched... BTM you are a great band...with that said...An awesome reminder of the heroes and lost of WWII.....
As a 50/50 Country/Rock fan, this cover just hits the spot.
Hands down the best cover of this song I've ever heard .

BlackTop Mojo
Some of the best music i have ever heard !! Play it and Play it LOUD ...
Saw these guys headline in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. They are big time.
Dream On, in the Air Tonight, and In Color. I like BlackTop Mojo better than the originals. Incredible.
It's rare that a band does a cover that is basically a reenactment of the original yet sounds distinct, this is one of those case, kudos you musical masters.
IIII CANT BELIEVE THAT THIS ISNT ON SPOTIFY AGHHHHHHHHHGGHHHFGG
Love your stuff and the covers you choose to do. I am a UK guy living in Thailand with my baby son. THIS is what I love about America and what I always admired about your country and a certain set of people who live there. Cheers lads!
Came across y'all on TH-cam I'm deployed in Africa. I've bought your albums on iTunes, great music! Thanks guys!
Pure talent, they have awesome covers, and awesome orginals as well. This man can sing, and his talent behind him guitars and drums are awesome. Great Band!!
You all Rock the Country out of that song. Best hit ever. Keep it up BT Mo. And I'll keep watching.

My favorite thing about a band who has the courage to Step out of the box and cover a great song to make it their own personal style of their vision of artistic talent...great job...
Absolutely nailed it. It's not often a cover is better than the original... this was 10x
