Tim McGraw - Don't Close Your Eyes (Keith Whitley Cover)

- For Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s BIG NIGHT (At the Museum), Tim McGraw performs his favorite Keith Whitley song-"Don’t Close Your Eyes,” penned by Bob McDill- on the C.W. Parsons guitar that Keith Whitley bought in his home state of Kentucky for a dollar and a handshake.
McGraw idolizes Whitley, who died at age 34 after recording major country hits and bringing back into vogue the vocal styles of forerunners including Lefty Frizzell and Merle Haggard. Whitley’s early death remains an emotional topic for McGraw, who has come to the Museum in the past, after hours, to privately experience Whitley’s exhibit, “Still Rings True: The Enduring Voice of Keith Whitley.”

When Tim said " I have no business even holding Keith Whitley's guitar," in this broadcast, it broke me up inside.
Humility is such a beautiful thing.
He doesn’t, he ruined the song
@@adf286 How so?
I’m a huge fan of Tim . He did a great job with this song.
❤BEAUTIFUL AMAZEING TOUCHING LYRICS LOVEING ❤
Keith would be proud Tim
What makes Keith's version of this song so unique and amazing is you can actually hear the pain when he sings it. If you watch Keith sing it live at the Grand Ole Opry (one of his last), his voice cracks while singing that last verse. Country music lost Keith too soon, way to soon.
You know I was wondering what was missing and that is it Tim know no life the way Keith did
Keith Whitley had a once in a lifetime voice.
Wow Tim really did a awesome job on this one!
Usually I don't like covers especially Keith Whitley songs. Tim you did a great job. This was my late wife's favorite song. It's the last song we ever danced to
Hey Tim McGraw, I just wanted to let you know that Keith Whitley is smiling down on you because you saying that song so beautiful as he would’ve sang it… thanks for honoring Keith Whitley. My plan is song for all of us… he was a great loss to countrymusic and died way too young… and I’m so happy that he’s at peace now though but thanks for the song, you sang it so much like he did that it brought tears to my eyes. It was amazing. ❤️❤️
Absolutely beautiful. 😢 😭.
My FAVORITE SONG BY KEITH!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️. Fantastic!!!!🙏🏼🤟🏻💜
Knocked it out of the park Tim! Thank you soon much!😊
Keith would approve I do believe!!............................

Not really a TM fan but this was a respectable way to honor a great. Nice work Mr. McGraw. Respect.

Tim’s voice is made for this type of song 😊

Tim really needs to do an album of covers. Besides covering Keith Whitley, he's also covered Lionel Richie, Brooks and Dunn and George Strait in tribute shows and he has done outstanding.
I completely agree with you, that would be awesome
The best in country...songs.
Beautifully written and sung just so perfect and moving thank --you I just love it I will attempt to play on guitar but will not sound any like this God Bless KEITH WHITLEY
Beautiful song. Keith would of given you thumbs up. 👍
Love your Music and seeing you and Faith on 1883! Love the show.
I just want to thank you for not chopping this song up.
Keith Whitley, to me, was country music at its finest.
To have an artist of your caliber come out and Sing this classic in its real true raw form is a fine tribute to a country music legend .
Thank
You

I Was JUST in Sandy Hook, KY yesterday visiting Keith’s memorial. Tim, I gotta believe..you’ve done him proud! Thank You for sharing your talent and remembering a GREAT artist.
Tim that was stellar...I wouldn’t known it was not him singing without the video...would love to hear that with band playing with you... I mean it was perfect Keith Whitley rendition ❤️❤️❤️
I want to go there. Is Keith’s Mom still the curator? Or has she passed.

A true tear jerker 😢😢
You sing this song so beautifully thank you so much ♥️♥️I
Why is it that I feel Tim might have lived this song at one point in his life. I mean you can see this song touches him so deeply.
Tim was on his move to nashville May 9th 1989, the very day the Country Music Family lost Keith.... His voice and legacy is being forever remembered by everyone, especially Lorrie and JesseKeith.... Tim did an amazing job, Don't Close Your Eyes still makes me cry 31 years later.... Rest With The Best Keith, you are loved and missed❤
I agree completely! Such a great loss to country music, however i have no doubt Keith is enjoying hearing Tim do this song!
We definitely lost a legend 💯 #LOVED & #NEVERFORGOTTEN #KEITHWHITLEY❣️💕❤️❣️💕❤️💯
Tim did a great job R.I.P Keith Whitley.
When we lost Keith we lost a legend
TIM YOU REALLY ADD A LOT OF HEARTFELT MOMENTS RO THIS SONG. Thank you. THIS SONG IS HARD FOR ME.
Thank you for giving this song life again ,one of my favs from Keith.
Thank you for sharing this song
Ya is a beautiful song becky
Tim Mcgraw your so talented! I love this song!!! 😀
Very Beautiful Tim !
Goosebumps when I heard this. Beautiful.
@Tim McGraw Yeah right. Did you know it's against the law to impersonate someone? Also the real Tim Mcgraw wouldn't ask someone for their phone number when he's married. Nice try.

Hi beautiful girl how're you doing?
A very good song not many people can touch a legend like Keith Whitley but Tim is Keith Whitley would be proud
Tim, I’m 17 years old, and mildly autistic, and I was introduced to Keith Whitley a few years ago and there is something about this man’s voice and the emotion he delivers in his music that pulls everyone in.... Don’t Close Your Eyes was voted deservedly number one country song of 1988 by Billboard Magazine and I have been a Keith Whitley Super-fan for 3 years now. I have heard your story about meeting Keith and arriving in Nashville the day he died and I have heard it countless times. Country singers like you, Garth Brooks, Chris Young, Joe Nichols, Dierks Bentley and countless others wouldn’t be here today if Keith hadn’t blazed your path. The fact that you all never fail to tribute him and advance his extraordinary musical legacy through song covers, concerts and tributes makes me happy, and it is truly humbling. “I’m no stranger to the rain” is an anthem for me.. and I live that song. I love your music as well! Hope to get to Nashville someday, go to the HOF, the Museum, the Ryman and the Grand Ole Opry house someday and meet my favorite stars. Best of luck to you! I’m now trying to learn how to play the guitar, and I get better as the days go by.

Awesome
I agree with you, Casey. Keith Whitley is one of those voices that you hear from your parent's or grandparent's radio and you know instantly that you're a fan for life. Today, when I hear one of his songs, I'm taken back to my childhood and the wonderful memories of listening to all sorts of great music with my mother.
I lost my mother 2 years ago, very unexpectedly, and this performance by Tim McGraw hits especially close to my heart because my mother was actually the receptionist for a Doctor who treated Tim and Faith's children whenever they were on the road touring. (Just a fun and winding connection to have with such remarkable names in Entertainment)
Thanks for sharing your story, Casey. You are inspiring.
Good luck in all of your journeys and challenges along the way. ✌🦋
Wow what a great job love this song
@TimMcgrawMusicInc wow I'm a huge fan of yours
