Yup... happened that way for me. I always liked his acting, liked his short video about "USA have the highest standard of living... not!" But... very pleased to see he is rooted in good music!
The story is about an American boy getting ready to go to war, going to the base in Clarksville before being sent overseas. It is an important song. Thanks, Jeff.
It's actually Fort Cambell, KY, right across the border from Clarksville, TN. The only reason I know that is that my family stayed in the Holiday Inn in Clarksville when visiting my brother in basic training.
It was years later after "The Monkees" first performed this that I learned it was about a young man heading off to Vietnam. The 60s were the best of times except for riots and the Vietnam War (police action)!! Jeff Daniels is one of my favorite people!!
I saw Jeff Daniels on the Kelly Clarkson show. He really surprised me which is an understatement. As he did Kelly Clarkson. I would never have believed it if I didn't see it myself.
I love when actors show us all that they can play and sing too. Some good Jeff Daniels movies.. ‘Fly away home’ , ‘RV’, and who can forget ‘Dumb and Dumber.’
The Beatles had just changed the creative landscape with their "Revolver" album; and in that avalanche of creativity this remarkably touching song was released upon the world. Note the urgency of the lyrics? As the protagonist urges his love to meet him one last time before he leaves for battle in SE Asia.
"Music is Win" just updated his ten best celebrity guitar players and put Jeff Daniels at the top with a clip from the Kelly Clarkson show. The man can play, make no mistake. And yes, this is a cool version of this tune.
Nice job Jeff basically said something to effect of - " here is one that you will recognize- eventually" before they started playing the song. Funny thing is depending how old the audience was- if they were younger (at all-lol) they probably did not recognize the song. Me, on the other hand Im an old dude who watched the Monkees show when I was a kid. I also became acquaintances with Louis Shelton, who played the opening guitar riff on the Monkees record. Louis was a guitarist that was also a member of the wrecking crew.
Two weeks ago I saw my first video of Mr. Daniel's sing with a news caster.(can't remember which one)He sang an original song and I was floored, I haven't seen him since he was driving a dog!😂This is blowing me away, he's really awesome.
You youngsters don't really feel this song as soldiers from my generation felt it. I look on some of the young fellows today and think back when I was 20 and leading 18-19 year old young men into battle. I don't know how well the majority of kids would do today, a lot of then seen like they are still finding their way in life! We knew what awaited us and grew up pretty quickly. At least those of us that went into uniform did. Those who dodged the draft, I don't think ever really grew up. I talked to a guy my age who actually said, " I guess I should have gone to Vietnam back then!". I said ,yea, you should have.
Mark Farner of Grand Funk has a great quote “Michigan people do two things extremely well Build cars and Play guitars” Iggy,Ted Nugent,MC5,Alice Cooper,Motown, looks like these two fall in line.
Father and son is Jeff wasn't acting he could have been doing this life's work. Jeff is very talented and apparently so is his son. I always love this song it was by The Monkees
Pleasantly surprised. Very enjoyable performance of a good song. In the 60's and 70's it was all about the song. Think about it: if not for their songs would the Beatles have gone anywhere?
I LOVE how JD takes a back seat to his son .. and his playing.. truly reminds me of the old school front porch America used to have before the creeps moved in.. and you KNOW what I mean... those creeps that took a font porch jam and made it into an abomination of society. this is what America used to be,,,, a neighborhood jam where ALL could enjoy... and sing along... now ? puuuhhhlllleeezzzzzz
@@vdavis4785 Boyce and Hart wrote the largest percentage of the early Monkees hits. Neil wrote 4 on the first album and that's it. "A Little Bit You, A Little Bit Me" was also a hit for the quartet. Some Brill Building writers also wrote songs for the band. Goffin and King, Mann and Weil, Leiber and Stoller, Jeff Barry and Andy Kim. Jack Nicholson and Bob Rafelson wrote 5 or 6 songs for the movie Head!
I just used the Google Lens app to look it up: It's called a "National Style 1 Tricore Resophonic Tenor Guitar." Never heard of such a thing, but it has a cool sound.
I like Jeff on camera & on film. I like his ditty he did on guitar on the _____ girl's talk show, a "love song to the guitar". But Jeff this one hurts. sorry guy it's a toughie, it's butchered. kinda wish you left Monkees alone in the attic. I like old Monkees. (but that ain't it. bangin' the gong.)🥶🥶🥶 God bless J. Daniels keep truckin. ✌🏻✌🏻👏🏻
I listened almost 3 mins to confirm my suspicion that you couldn't play the riff.. I concede it is a little difficult😅stick to baseless leftwing activism
Seems like more than one of us fell down the Jeff Daniels Rabbit Hole after seeing him on Kelly’s show. So good.
Guilty! 😁
🤚

Ha! yes!
Yep!
As a life long guitar player at the age of 75 I love Jeff Daniel’s playing. So great to have found him.

I never knew what this song was about, but I was only 10

Yep. Train to Clarksville was the way to Soldiers bound for the 101st Airborne, Ft Campbell
It was years later after "The Monkees" first performed this that I learned it was about a young man heading off to Vietnam. The 60s were the best of times except for riots and the Vietnam War (police action)!! Jeff Daniels is one of my favorite people!!
I first saw Jeff Daniels play Tom T. Hall's " That's How I Got To Memphis" on The Newsroom. I said "DAMN!!!"
That's a wonderful scene.
I saw Jeff Daniels on the Kelly Clarkson show. He really surprised me which is an understatement. As he did Kelly Clarkson. I would never have believed it if I didn't see it myself.
Jeff is multifaceted! TALENT❤
@@shellylavigne5913 He certainly is. ❤
He did Kelly Clarkson?????
@@vincentlawler3033 Not her the show 😀

at the time as kids, never quite caught anything more than the fun of the Monkees and I owned this 45 - appreciate the insight!
It was the Monkees!
Just plain cool to stumble on this 😄
Jeff you're the best. . I seen your movies. Now I've seen your music. I'm going to start buying
your music. Take care.
Tony Navarro
That was a great remix Jeff my dad Bobby Hart and his partner Tommy Boyce wrote that song very cool thanks
"Music is Win" just updated his ten best celebrity guitar players and put Jeff Daniels at the top with a clip from the Kelly Clarkson show.
The man can play, make no mistake.
And yes, this is a cool version of this tune.
Yep, that's how I ended up here 🙂
Me too!
Fuck yeh ❤great rendition 😊😊❤

Fabulous….happy day I discovered this
I had simply forgotten this one , Great to hear it once again
Outstanding job in A man in Full
God bless America.
Somebody hit the high harmony on the "take the last train to Clarksville."
Two weeks ago I saw my first video of Mr. Daniel's sing with a news caster.(can't remember which one)He sang an original song and I was floored, I haven't seen him since he was driving a dog!😂This is blowing me away, he's really awesome.
Are you referring to when he covered a Tom T. Hall song on the last episode of "The Newsroom," where he played a news anchor?
Always good to put the professional musician off to the side...
saw him and family play at the clay center in chas. wv awesome show

“Gosh Penny, it looks like Sky!”
pretty darn good.

Arizona gets at least partial credit for Alice.
All of the people mentioned should of taken lessons from Jeff
Father and son is Jeff wasn't acting he could have been doing this life's work. Jeff is very talented and apparently so is his son. I always love this song it was by The Monkees
Add in Billy Strings.. phenom!
Brownsville Station
Strum and Strummer.
Ya beat me to it!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
very nice version indeed!!
Sometimes nature is just not fair when it hands out talent
the real talent is the dedication to learn and practice to develop mastery
Thanks very nice
Wow! great intro.
Right on right on
Acoustic and funky! 😄
big shout out to Glen Campbell and the wrecking crew for doing all these and other various artist songs
Pleasantly surprised. Very enjoyable performance of a good song. In the 60's and 70's it was all about the song. Think about it: if not for their songs would the Beatles have gone anywhere?
Jeff is after my heart, love to play and tell jokes and have fun
Great job
Nizze pickin' ya'll in fact frking great!!!!
❤
Next!
Louie Shelton guitar work❤
The beginning sounded like they could have went into ’Goin’ To California’ by Zeppelin. 😊
Funny, I thought the same thing.....🙂
The battery on my phone died before the intro ended. And it had a full charge when I started watching.
Gotta do something in all that down time on a set.
Is that a resonator banjo?!?! That's awesome - I hadn't seen that before.
The folksmen would be proud
I'd like to see an all-actors band: Jeff Daniels, Steve Martin, Gary Sinise, Kevin Bacon. Who else?
Jeff Bridges
Johnny Depp
Jetemy Renner plays piano and sings really well.
Jeff Goldblum piano and I believe Richard Gere piano and guitar classically trained.
Steven Van Zandt - if Bruce would let him show up :)
Nice
Incredible/Who knew?
👍✌❤😎

Who are these “creeps” you refer to?
Very cool. Led Zeppelin meets The Monkees
primo!
Niel Diamond wrote this and most of the Monkeees songs
I thought it was Boyce and Hart that wrote it?
@@DaleCuave You are correct, it's a Boyce & Hart song. Neil Diamond wrote "I'm a Believer," which was a huge hit for The Monkees.

Yes@@vdavis4785
A thinly veiled war protest song about the Fort Bragg induction center. Hence the last line. And l don't know if lm ever coming home!
Oi loik it uh-lott
Is that John Cryer's twin brother playing mandolin?
Jeff's son
It's a Dojo.
What kind of guitar is Ben playing?

Well that just like, your opinion, man.
@@OneHippiesMusingslol wrong Jeff…spoken like the dude himself
@@chihuahuancamel I know which character and actor I'm referencing. You're not as funny or quippy as you'd like to be.
@@OneHippiesMusings it’s all good I get the two Jeff’s mixed up all the time…I know their faces but I can rarely remember which is which
It's in too low a key.
Maybe they want it to be in too low a key.
Are the Monkees the greatest band in the world? No they are not but the sure used to be.
Into was w-a-a-a-a-a-y too long...
Fancy having to listen to that for two hours in concert, It would bore you to death.
if you didn't like this type of music, you wouldn't be there
@@jessbutler01 Is there any way that this could even loosely be described as music?,
I thought it was great!
Bad
half of the song is introduction, followed by a rather poor version of the song. too bad.
Very underwhelming intro
Great intro.!
Post something better.
We'll wait.
I listened almost 3 mins to confirm my suspicion that you couldn't play the riff.. I concede it is a little difficult😅stick to baseless leftwing activism
And you stick to MAGA boot licking.
Somebody ruined a great song trying to get to cutsie. I’m out!
Stick to acting
Would not waste my time watching this man do any thing. Just another Trump Hater.
Jeff's a smart man
He's alot smarter than Trump too.
Trump spells trouble Daniel's spells cool
Nuff said !!!
With good reason.
Hilarious....these people are easily entertained
What is the middle player playing?
I think it's a steel mandolin.
A Dojo: With a standard 5-string banjo neck and a dobro (Resonator) body.
@@timfoote2874 It has no 5th string. I'm going with a resonator tenor guitar, standard ADGC tuning.
