I find his country is more along the lines of Outlaw country, even gangsta country. It has an edge, a dark side of country music and I'm loving it, buddy. Did you catch that ?
Glenn Johnson How great to find this song again.Last heard it on "Country club"with Wally Whyton back in the early 70`s on Radio 2.I remember the album.Well done!
At around 0:58, this raw and desperate song has an echo, as if it were in a church, in prayer, and then, in a dry way, talking about a beating to death. It's disturbing; the perpetrator is, in fact, the victim. It's incredible how a song with such a short narrative can offer you so much.
Well that's bloody annoying . But then as of recent it's very hard to find any music 🎶 that one likes on there . The adds are annoying . And a lot of the best choons out there can't be found. Spotify just reccomends stuff your not interested in or never heard of .
I remember this song playing on the radio. I'd a been 12 years old. I didn't know that this song was banned. I figured it had run it's normal course of popularity. Censorship. Darn.
I was sittin' beside the road in blackjack county Not knowing that the sheriff paid a bounty For men like me who didn't have a penny to their names So he locked my leg to thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain And sll we had to eat was bread and water And each day we had to build that road a mile and a quarter And black snake whip would cut our backs when some poor fool complained But we couldn't fight back wearin' thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain And then one night while the sheriff was a sleepin' We all gathered round him slowly creepin' And heaven help me to forget that night in the cold cold rain When we beat him death with thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain Now the whip marks have all healed and I am thankful That there's nothing but a scar round my ankle But most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again To a black snake whip and thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain Blackjack County chain, blackjack county chain, blackjack county chain
@@rathodkaran6190 “Go On Home” also by Sanford Clark, to be honest a lot of Sanford songs have a haunting vibe to me IMO. His voice just has that vibe in a good way.
1:28 He fucked up the pronunciation of "again". Although unconventional, it fits the rhyme scheme to pronounce "again" as "a-gain". This allows it to rhyme with chain in the next line. Pronouncing "again" as "a-gen" doesn't rhyme.

Now this is some real country music
With absolute all due respect Sanford Clark should come up first in the search list for blackjack county chain 💯
Benjamin dakota rodgers does an amazing cover of this classic life changing it is.
I like charley crocketts version but this versions good too
RIP Sanford Clark (October 24, 1935 - July 4, 2021)
Wow. Didn;t know he passed away this year
How come everytime I find a new singer they’ve died or die soon. Same thing happened with Stonewall Jackson
awesome guy
Damn I didn't know he passed away, rest in peace sir, the music you left will never fail to soothe us
Sanford is the king of it all. He does all the country songs right.
Yes he does!! right on
AZ represent
I discovered him about 2 weeks ago and loving his songs. I find he's like a combination of The Man In Black, Possum and the Hagg. Awesome stuff!

50s-60s country invented rap flow
Haven't heard this in eons!
This is the best version IMHO
Its nothin to me.
This was removed off of spotify unfortunately
Well that's bloody annoying .
But then as of recent it's very hard to find any music 🎶 that one likes on there . The adds are annoying .
And a lot of the best choons out there can't be found. Spotify just reccomends stuff your not interested in or never heard of .
My dreams fly with him✈️🤠
This happened to me one time.
What a great fucking cover.
Freedom Yeah. Best reason to be free is 35 pounds of chain.

Henson Cargill does a great version of this too.
wow..... tune. x
Heard it before charley
Willie Nelson does a good version of this too
Classic
All we had to eat was bread and water
And every day we had to build that road a mile and a quarter !
Willie Nelson did a great version of this. This sounds like him.
Jack palance does this song funny
I was sittin' beside the road in blackjack county
Not knowing that the sheriff paid a bounty
For men like me who didn't have a penny to their names
So he locked my leg to thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain
And sll we had to eat was bread and water
And each day we had to build that road a mile and a quarter
And black snake whip would cut our backs when some poor fool complained
But we couldn't fight back wearin' thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain
And then one night while the sheriff was a sleepin'
We all gathered round him slowly creepin'
And heaven help me to forget that night in the cold cold rain
When we beat him death with thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain
Now the whip marks have all healed and I am thankful
That there's nothing but a scar round my ankle
But most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again
To a black snake whip and thirty five pounds of blackjack county chain
Blackjack County chain, blackjack county chain, blackjack county chain
