The problem is country music radio plays trash these days. That’s why I just plug in my phone and play Charley Crockett, Randall King, etc. Can’t stand what country radio had become
I hate to say it, but without satellite radio, guys like Charley wouldn't get airplay at all on commercial radio. It's a real shame that we have to pay for great music when we used to get it all for free. Outlaw Country!!!
Working out in Florida. Due to this corona situation, haven't been able to see my wife and 3 month old for 2 months. Took off and got on three connecting flights to make it back to Memphis to get them and bring them here. Hell of a haul but I finally made it back and heard this song. Perfect. Thank you for this song.
And I was feeling bad because I’m stuck with work for a few weeks in OK and hoping to back it back to the other higher elevation side of TN to see my wife and three month old.
@@wh8378 one of the best ...really do miss him. I have all of his cd's and when it hits me that he's gone I will get in my car drive around the country of West, Tokio and Leroy and play his cd's..bawling like a baby...sigh****
Wow, Charley sure knows how to pick them! This song was written by legendary songwriter Tom T. Hall in 1969 and I believe this is the best cover of it --- hands down. Great job Charley! By the way, for those of you who aren't familiar with the songs of Tom T. Hall, check out his greatest hits, or whatever. The man has written some very good songs.
@@TheVeek192 What in hell is wrong with me promoting Tom T Hall for the people who aren't aware of him??? Do you honestly think the whole fucking world knows who Tom T Hall is?? You come across as a fool. Don't be a fool.
This cover just elevates this song. Even though he's from Texas, his time in Louisiana helps him sing to the spirit of the Deep South like mostly only blues men can...
I'm a Delaney from down in the Delta..I grew on this music and style is Dwight... Charlie Pride..on old school country..but his eclectic style on all genre's he plays make him the BOMB..!!
Thank you Charlie Crockett for honoring a great talent such as James Hand. I saw him at a small honky tonk in San Antonio and as Willie Nelson said "He was the real deal". Glad I bought one of his cd's!
Hey Charley Crockett... Thank you for representing an ecclectic sound of classic East Texas - Louisiana Folk/Blues/Jazz/Gospel/Soul/Zeideco. Thank you for dedicating yourself to the true art of music.
Video is so sad cause now we've lost James Hand. We had a phenomenon and nobody much cared. It's a danm tragedy RIP James Hand. I'm never gonna stop trying to get you to become the Mega star that you've always deserved to be.
C.C.,Thank you for your kind words and praise for Slim. He left our world way too early. I am glad he called me "Pal" for 52 years. Respectfully yours, Denver
Rest In Peace the the man I grew up listening to in the bars in west, Texas god bless that man I can still hear him playing in ol mynars or wolfs god gained a great one. RIP Slim
I'd never heard of Charley Crockett before tonight. I just happened to come across his 'Lesson in Depression' and decided to watch another. I was pleasantly surprised when I immediately recognized James Hand in this video and heartbroken to read of his passing. It's a strange feeling. I'm looking forward to seeing what else Charley Crockett has to offer while mourning the loss of Slim.
I cannot wait to see you at The Outlaw Music festival this summer at the original Woodstock site in Bethel NY this summer.Awesome voice and I love your style.Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been living for about 20 years now and came for the love of my family and music and haven’t left because it’s a great little city. This song will be in my head for years to come.
Lord knows how many times the great James Hand had to play for a near empty room of drunk people for a hundred bucks just like it's depicted in this video.
Tom T. Hall. One of the greatest songwriters of all time, regardless of the genre. This song, Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine, Ballad of Forty Dollars, The Homecoming and on and on. Pure country gold!
Damn boy this needs to be on country radio now.Your are what country radio is missing.You my friend are a legend in my mind.God Bless you and your music.I cant get enough give this dude some likes so he can be discovered.We need you on the big stage boss.
Seth Jenkins they rather have stupid ass rap crap that sounds the same that focuses on Disney teen kids and women in college thinking sex and drinking is good thing
A dynamic blend of Americana's sound; with an understanding of the common man's voice~in this gifted singer/songwriter. Enjoying his spin on traditional music in 2022! :)
I'm being exposed to all these great artists I would've never heard of if not for you Charley! Just wanted to say thank you for your music, I'm sharing you with everyone who'll listen here in L.A. Hopefully you'll do a show around here soon enough, it sure would be a treat to be able to support & see you live. Keep it up man, you're broadening the musical horizon of many a young man, more than you know. Thanks bud.
For example, my across the street neighbour’s daughter 12 years ago was named Memphis. Having never been to the place of the name, this one is funny that way too, but still really great.
XM radio, channel 60, Outlaw country,. You can hear Charlie Crockett and many other artists that you don't hear on regular FM radio stations. Check it out.
I have never been to Memphis and I miss it already.
Memphis is a hell hole
Q
You'll miss anywhere else when you get there
No you don’t
You misunderstand the song.. Memphis is where ever you are drawn to and need to go.
Can’t wait to see him in Memphis this weekend 😍🔥
😢I miss you my grandpa
Oh shit... that's James Hand...
This guy is exactly what country music needs! Would be grand to turn on country music radio and hear Charley
I don't even like what they call country these days, its pop music with cowboy hats that never met the sweat of a brow, this is country
It'll never happen.... he's too much country.
The problem is country music radio plays trash these days. That’s why I just plug in my phone and play Charley Crockett, Randall King, etc. Can’t stand what country radio had become
one day i'd love to host my own radio station and play classic country and newer stuff like this that has that old sound
@@14gears55 check the songs slim the guy in the clip does himself
Charley Crockett, Tom T Hall, James Hand... absolute legends, each in their own right
Ol Slim, God rest his soul. He was a mess but a joy to hang out with.
This is one of the saddest old school country songs that it's hard not to feel the pain
I feel the same way about Fool Somebody Else by Charley Crockett
A classic written by Tom T. Hall.
I hate to say it, but without satellite radio, guys like Charley wouldn't get airplay at all on commercial radio. It's a real shame that we have to pay for great music when we used to get it all for free. Outlaw Country!!!
Are you not writing this on a free platform? Radio of all varieties is dead friend. Join the word of mouth movement 🎉
James Hand with the Band
Rest In Peace
James, James, James, we miss you so so much. Thank you Charlie for keeping his music alive.
RIP James Hand! Thank you Charlie for introducing me to such a legend!
What a shame we'll never get to hear James and Charlie perform together!
@@svdd10 lots of those. Colter wall and Cash, Sturgill simpson and waylon, etc
@@wh8378 very well said!
Rip Slim Love you bud
Another classic song by Charley Crockett. I love how he pays tribute to the legends that came before with his own style.
R.I.P. James Hand "The real deal."
Working out in Florida. Due to this corona situation, haven't been able to see my wife and 3 month old for 2 months.

@@MrVal024 all the best to you and your family
I'm sure they were happy to see you. God bless
And I was feeling bad because I’m stuck with work for a few weeks in OK and hoping to back it back to the other higher elevation side of TN to see my wife and three month old.
Remarkable version you can feel it kudos
RIP James 'Slim' Hand 😢
Original music and lyrics by, Tom. T. Hall. It's worth a listen.
Well worth.
I love charley but this cover the original is way better
This is probably the best cover of this song I've ever heard. Fantastic
I recommend you a Spanish version called asi llegue a granada, by Hermanos Cubero
I love this, but as a long time and good friend of James Hand, this breaks my heart.

Steve Douglas I’ve never heard of him and I’ve been a country music fan for over 20 years
Huge Tom T fan, huge Crockett fan. Both of them make country COUNTRY.
This cover just elevates this song. Even though he's from Texas, his time in Louisiana helps him sing to the spirit of the Deep South like mostly only blues men can...
Gonna see Charley Crockett in August !!
Tom T Hall would approve.
I love when my city gets portrayed in a positive light instead of all the bad that does happen here. Memphis truly is a special place.
I'm a Delaney from down in the Delta..I grew on this music and style is Dwight... Charlie Pride..on old school country..but his eclectic style on all genre's he plays make him the BOMB..!!
Amen.
One of my all time favorites and Charlie kills it!
Beautiful pedal steel guitar on this song.
Rest in Peace Mr James Hand.
Stay out of Memphis Charley and get on to Texas Ol Son. God bless
Great song and Video RIP Mr. Hand
RIP James Hand!
that's James Hand!!!!!!
Thank you Charlie Crockett for honoring a great talent such as James Hand. I saw him at a small honky tonk in San Antonio and as Willie Nelson said "He was the real deal". Glad I bought one of his cd's!
I wonder what song slim was playing to in the clip.
Hey Charley Crockett... Thank you for representing an ecclectic sound of classic East Texas - Louisiana Folk/Blues/Jazz/Gospel/Soul/Zeideco. Thank you for dedicating yourself to the true art of music.

I like Oliver Anthony, something good came out of Appalachia but I am still listening to Charley Crockett.
Rest In Peace the the man I grew up listening to in the bars in west, Texas god bless that man I can still hear him playing in ol mynars or wolfs god gained a great one. RIP Slim
I think this classic Tom T. Hall song is one of the best songs ever written. You did a great job with it!!
Mix of a new voice with old school country. Man I love this!!!
Tom T would be proud you did his song justice !!! Thanks for keeping the soul in music !!!!!’
Hell yess!!
Rest easy Tom. I'm sure there's faster horses, younger women, and older whiskey where you're at.
This song makes me want to sit in a dingy bar and drink beer from a cold bottle on a Wednesday morning.
You said it, Urethra!
@Amed Tajan driving music...windows down thru the desert just driving
Fuck it let’s go
I still like Whitey Morgan's version better.
Can't say you drank all day if you don't start early
R.I.P, Mr. Hand.
I dunno how this video does not have millions of views. Certainly deserves it. James Hand!
Lordy lord . OLD T is back in town
I'm a Memphian. Wish I could see my hometown thru these eyes.

The road to Memphis. Fraught with everything uneasy. She's waiting . . .

Charley Crockett is a soul man through and through
Dern, that's country! And RIP James Hand.

@Greg Normal No worries~keep enjoying the good vibes!
Well I was born in Memphis Tn an still live here
This guy is a legend in the making
There is something In his voice that truly moves me.
There’s something in that slide guitar that resonates in my heart.
It's one of the best in a while I agree
I used to haul milk to a processing plant that was in the slums of Memphis. Right next to the Blue Monkey Bar and Grill.🤣🤣
La meilleur version que j'ai jamais écoutée
My husband and I really enjoyed your show at the Kessler. It was a joy to have the honor or hear Mr. Hand and yourself. What a great time!
I just love this song
I think drinking beer and listen. This song is the best.
Man, I've been on a binge with your music out at this apartment. I get drunk and let everyone else enjoy the hell outta it too haha. Thank you sir!
not me whistling like a motherfucking bird at work pissing off everyone 💀 thank you sir! 🤣
James Hand!!

That's that damn sound right there!
RIP to the great James Hand
Charley Crockett is awesome! This kind of soulful music is what we’ve been needing. Charley Crockett is bing worthy
Nice version of this Tom T Hall song!
Charley paying tribute to the classics, fuck yeah!
An old voice for new country!
For example, my across the street neighbour’s daughter 12 years ago was named Memphis. Having never been to the place of the name, this one is funny that way too, but still really great.

Thats a fly ass jacket and hat he’s got on, smoooouuth. Alright old timah. Thats what’s up.
Seems like you can actually hear some of the heartbreak in his voice. I believe this man lived through a trial or two in his life....GREAT rendition.
Ole recording trick. Tie an onion right below the microphone.
Great Song-well done. Reminds me of old 1960s country tunes you would hear on the Radio back in the Day 🇺🇸
If Dwight and Hank Sr. had a baby...Charley Crockett!!!! I love it!!!
You funny. Love ya.
How do you spell Continental Club.... thanks Mr. James Hand
This song makes me miss Memphis and living there was one of the worst times of my life
@ yes it is, things have been MUCH better since leaving
How does my man sound like Dwight Yoakam AND Charlie Pride at the same damn time?!
That’s excellent.I hear it now!!!
Pure talent
