Agree.
The best song writer ever? You are outta your mind. Good story teller .....Sure.... a good Song writer.... Naaaaaaa.
Watch Tennessee Whiskey too….🎸
@@shanemiller6982he is amazing. He wrote most of the songs George Strait recorded. Everyone wanted to record his songs.
He says like everyone in America however we weren’t all alive at that time. Love Dean Dillon’s music and we all in the whole south know who Clayton mobile homes is and are thankful for thier business but even more thankful we aren’t having to live on mobile homes anymore.
I just turned 70 last month saw lots of same bands. Leon, Johnny Winter (same concert Columbia University 1971.I had never heard of him before Tuesday night by accident but then watched entire video Mean this with all respect he looks like a cross between Leon Russell, willy Nelson and actor Sam Elliot
I just found him, myself, thanx to You Tube for offering this up today!
It was 1985 my first trip to Nashville and I met and heard Dean Dillon's "It's your love that makes you sexy."
I came home to Boston where we mostly got unhappy trucker songs and I told everyone:"Country MUSIC is going to make it big everywhere!"
John Payne. Boston
What pleasure that was to listen to! Made my day!
Great song . I just went to the Flora Bama. My son took grandkids from Alaska to Alabama. Had to show me. Next time I go back ill go in the evening.
I don’t know how I stumbled across this but he’s really amazing. I was continuously blown away, song after song, story after story. He is such a gifted, talented person.
I so would love to meet this guy. The stories that he isn't talking about are the ones ID love to here. Plus I love long hair on a man. Product of the 60s.
I cried so many times during this performance. Thank you for the memories
These songs describe all our lives in one way or another...Thank you!!❤
@Hello Galen how are you doing
Beautiful soul 💕➕
Amen 🙌🙌Brave
Wow!!!!
I lived in Nashville for many years, and would go see Dean sing whenever he would perform at different places. I remember the first time was at Opryland in the late 70's or early 80's. I also saw him at the Nashville Palace. It would be many years later, while I was living and working for the USDA-Forest Service at Wrangler Horse Campground at Land Between the Lakes, that I would get to sit by Dean's fire at his campsite, where he would graciously entertain many of us with his music. Every time he visited our campground in Kentucky, which was about 100 miles north of Nashville, he would share his stories of horseback riding out west in the Rockies and other places with us. This man is a true national treasure, and one of the nicest most down to earth people I have ever met from the music industry, and as my husband worked many years at Opryland I met a lot of them. In my opinion, there will never be any other writer as prolific and brilliant as Dean Dillon. I live far away from Nashville now in Florida, but I would so love to see him come down here for a performance.
@Kathi Berry That's so sweet of you to say Dear🤠. Well thanks once again for the love and support you've shown towards my music career 😉 it really means a lot, I'm so overwhelmed🤠 may I know how long you’ve been a fan of my music 🎶
Great friend with tremendous talent!!!!
Thanks for being a champion of introspection. Never give up on your boys.
Wow !
Damn. Where has this guy been all my life. I can relate to this whole show. AWSOME. Thank you sir
I love all of this
Thank you
I just watched and listened to this again for the 4th or 5th time. So inspirational when it comes to writing. He’s so simple and easy so bad that I realize that it’s hard to write simple.
Amazing man!!
Thank You Garrett ! Dave Barnes and I are very proud of this production . We have done hundreds of live music productions , but this one really is SPECIAL ! Please share and follow us on Facebook at Mike Cotton Productions .
Love Dean's story. Know and have worked with a few of them myself.

Aww man! Need to start making it to more shows! Perfect example of how music is power.
Color me blown away
Fantastic video! Great songwriter with great songs with friends, a couple of drinks, and a lot of laughs. The perfect evening. Dean is a character. Loved this and thank you for sharing.
Dean is a Legend and I'm glad he got himself straightened out. It's a hard life. The Smoking, Drinking, helps get the material along with them 2-5 am quiet times. I know I did it for about 5 years. Enjoyed the show Dean.👍🎸✝️☮🇺🇸
One man and his guitar, singing the songs from his heart, just as he wrote them he wrote them, there is nothing that is more personal than that, hearing them the way they were intended.....before an engineer and producer got a hold of them.
Love it
I love those beautiful baby blue eyes!
@Ann Green That's so sweet of you to say Dear🤠. Well thanks once again for the love and support you've shown towards my music career 😉 it really means a lot, I'm so overwhelmed🤠 may I know how long you’ve been a fan of my music 🎶
I always enjoy the singer/songwriter sessions. It's awesome to hear the back stories behind these hits. And Dean has had a major impact on country music. Thanks for the ride.
Dean Dillion is a great Song Writer and an inspiration to all of us singer song writers who love to express their lives through Song which Dean does so well. Honestly I think it’s a gift from God because God Loves Country music & Dean Dillion Songs as I believe he would love my songs if I was brave enough to publish them which I need a push in the right direction to do just that because I believe all things are possible through God and the inspirations of whom we align 🎼ourselves with through their 🎼🎵music we love so much.
“ Life is a Song I’m so honored that we all can sing along”
Keeping Country Music Alive One Song at a time with God’s blessing & enough pain to pour out of 🎼The Holy Grail & Song Book of Life. 🎶🎵🎼🙏. God always listens to those with something to say or sing as We are his muse making Forever Beautiful 🌹Through Harmony & Bliss that keep🎶 The Magic of Music 🎼Alive Forever. 💕

@Hello Eli how are you doing
Thank you for this awesome video, Dean reminds me of Billy Don Burns, who I have met, another great storyteller, again thanks for the awesome music brother!!!😎🎵🎶🎸
I work at the Florabama and I’ve seen Dean Dillion 4 times and it’s ALWAYS so good. It never gets old. I’d go see him again today if he were here. ❤️
Is the florabama still there I heard it got wiped out by a hurricane several years back.. if it's still there I'm definitely heading down on my next vacation. I haven't been down there in years. What a great place to have fun.
@@dnews9519 well it looks like she left that comment a month ago so I guess I'd say yeah, it's still there.
@@dnews9519 still here and going strong!
This was amazing and great!

Amazingly Entertaining and Refreshing !
Again, thank you Sir for Sharing the Memories , and the Songs 🎵🙏❤
Tuned in drop D.. 🤔🤔🤔
Good song bean
I'm glad that I stumbled across this video. Totally enjoyed. Love the intimate venue & format. I first became aware of Dean, when I purchased an album in the 99 cent bargain bin at the record store, that he & Gary Stewart made, together. 1982ish. Great job, Dean!
Amazing life experiences put into songs from an amazing man❤️
This is the first time I've ever heard this man. He is awesome! So glad I stumbled across him.
The GOAT
Love this song and down to earth 🌎
Ran across this video, and I didn’t know why I felt compelled to watch it. So glad I did.
Congratulations, I am subscribed and a fan.
This is amazing
My Uncle! ^^^
This video alone is worth everything to any unknown dreamer of songwriting. It can happen and the right people can and will come into your life and give you that one leg up. Bless you Dean Dillon!
If you see this Dean, I hung out with B.D.B and met you at Hank's Log Home in Hendersonville I believe 1991 or 1992 God Bless!
LOL, (I was the devil in David Chamberlain's video) "I FINALLY MADE IT WHERE YOU TOLD ME TO GO"
Love your songs before, twice as much at Vern Gosden!
One of a kind
Very nice, thank you for sharing a slice of Americana. I didn’t know any of the back stories but I know all the songs. Well done!
George and Dean both became millionaires and music icons!

Great true story,book title-"Cowboy Mafia ".
The story telling and singing were great. The ending got me. Who says boys don't cry.
I know , I feel it in my bones, you need to sign my son to Wildcatter's Records. He will fit right in. And I'm not one of them mama's that are over selling their son. He's the real deal.
@Sissi Phillips That's so sweet of you to say Dear🤠. Well thanks once again for the love and support you've shown towards my music career 😉 it really means a lot, I'm so overwhelmed🤠 may I know how long you’ve been a fan of my music 🎶
A shame that his own albums didn`t sell. "I've Learned to Live" is one of my all time favourite country albums.
I could listen to his stories all day. He is free from alcohol and pot, and he is really cool. Thank you Dean and Mrs. Dillon for the time.
OMG. The tears started at the 1st song about jesus. WHAT A ONCE IN A MILLENNIAL TALENT. God bless you Mr. Dillon.
That's the Holy Spirit using Dean to speak to you 🥲🙏☝
I so enjoyed the story of his life. What a journey ! The music the memories. He sure made others famous and even better with his words and melodies in great music. Thanks for sharing !
@Pam Lawley That's so sweet of you to say Dear🤠. Well thanks once again for the love and support you've shown towards my music career 😉 it really means a lot, I'm so overwhelmed🤠 may I know how long you’ve been a fan of my music 🎶
@Tonya Harmon Thank you once again for your love and the affection you’ve shown towards my music,I really appreciate that. I’ve been a passionate, affectionate and a loyal singer🎶. Do you mind if we text somewhere private?

This is my single favorite video on youtube. Dean is one of the kings of country music!
Thank you so much Dave Barnes and I are very proud of this production
Stumbled onto this and makes me wonder how many other treasures are buried in these One's and Zeros ?
Just spectacular !
In True Country fashion !
Began with a Religious song, and ended with a GOD BLESS YOU !
Folk's like you Sir that keep me believeing in this mess called Life !
And Thank You, for that !
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you for sharing this intimate evening with us Mike Cotton Productions-- Dean Dillon's story is so interesting; your team did a wonderful job of capturing how captivating and magical any evening with him is!
I love this video and have watched it numerous times. I like how Dean talks in a high voice when he imitates his old friend Hank Cochran. It is a joy to hear stories Dean has to tell in between the hit songs he sings. The last song he sings "A Lot of Things Different" is so much better done by him then Kenny Chesney.
@Tonya Harmon Merry Christmas to you as well.
The guitar really sounds nice. A combination of guitar, mic, and control booth EQ (and good soulful playing). Excellent sound. I should go further here... the voice and guitar mix and the reverb is just super. You can hear a whisper and the overall quality of the audio is about as good as it gets.
Absolutely excellent sound and balance ... however there's no mic on the guitar, it's all piezo-electric. But it's also the one tone down tuning, and the "drop D" that turns to be a "drop C" that gives the guitar that special "harp" sound.
That's exactly what I was thinking when he started playing! I couldn't believe how dialed in they had that guitar.
Your right
Brand new nylon strings .....
I love hearing people talk about the intricacies of guitar. ❤️
I met this man so many years ago...... most soulful and wonderful person ever.
Man I am so glad I found this today. Worth every drop. It was awesome to hear the songs I knew well, growing up singing and playing but it was just as fun to hear some songs I didn't know he wrote. I dont know what I enjoyed more, the songs here or the stories behind them. Thank you Dean Dillon. LEGEND!
Where are you now dude it's still great today
So where are you now,,❓
I'd say both! Songs and stories!!!
Did 'n't know you but you are great
@@hduke1459 I wanna know where everybody is now!
What a stroke of luck to experience this Songwriter - just showed up right here. I'm almost hypnotized by His stories, and Musics. I'm even becoming a better writer mySelf as I'm hearing this.
I'm rushing off to my pianos now.
Thank You for this.
I am writing my music too bec tonight these singers INSPIRING me !!
Growing up I remember reading the liner notes on George Strait's albums and kept seeing the name "Dean Dillon". I thought this guy must be really good if he was on every King George album. Turns out he's a lot better than that. Thank you for all the wonderful music, Mr. Dillion.
If.... IF I could turn back the clock......
How many times have we said this...
But I would flip burgers AND WRITE SONGS & be homeless in Nashville until I could score me some hits..... of something or great songs 🤠🤠🤠
I could watch this over and over. Now I know why I started out being such a huge George Strait fan. Thank you Dean Dillon from the bottom of my heart.
@Glenn Edwards That's so sweet of you to say Dear🤠. Well thanks once again for the love and support you've shown towards my music career 😉 it really means a lot, I'm so overwhelmed🤠 may I know how long you’ve been a fan of my music 🎶

Your song, " Turn The Water Into Wine "
Is Phenomenal, of course with you singing it !! I just wanted you to know that you are a Spiritual Inspiration to me and many others around the World 🌎
God Bless You T.Graham Brown 🙏😇
@angela G lmbo!✔ Absolutely 💯✔
Wow ! 👏 I was more than surprised ,to say the least 😄 Like a K id in a Candy Store 🍬 :) This was a really Great Video ! I WHAT a Treat !!✔ Stay Blessed
@angela G !!✔
I sure enjoyed this. One Hell of a Man
Still the Legend!!!!
Well this was great!!!! A lot of songs I new and some I didn't. I'm glad I checked this video out. Wish I could have been in that room. 👏👏👏
This song is the song that I said is exactly like the same story that happened to me when I was approximately 21-22. I never went out. It was rare and memorable. Total gentleman.. I went home. He went home. Nothing more. He told me he was going to write a song about it.
Genius, and a player who doesn't mind bearing his heart when he sings
AWESOME SONGWRITER!!!!!! Just saw this and He's pretty much the same as in person!!!
Hey Dean, I love your stuff. Actually a friend of your Uncle Hoss’s. Good man. You come from good people my man! Can’t wait to see what you do for the next 20 years!
love Dean Dillion,hes so much a part of our lives. I love how he tells the stories behind the song. Hes a Legend.
wow beautiful voice guitar and opening song ..im new to this mans talent but the first thought was if sam Elliot and willie Nelson had a kid ..his name wohld be Dean..sings a lot like some a willies songs ..great video wish i could have been there..
What a freaking incredible video of Dean Dillon!! I was unfamiliar with him previously, but now a huge fan! The audio quality is outstanding as well. What you what in a high quality vid...
Totally awesome!
Well...I'm going say it!!!! I'd like to see people who have brought a lot of joy to people out here. Folks like Ronnie McDowell who is great too in his own right. Conway was never really recognized as he DESERVED. But,to the people out here...Conway was the man. Ronnie McDowell deserves more than he has received from the country establishment. Just my opinion!!!!!! Of course I love Dean Dillon too.
A talented guy and a friend of Gary Stewart who wrote some of Gary’s hits! Gary died too too soon and took his own life and robbed us of his talent and a passel of great songs we never got to hear! RIP Gary Stewart
Grew up on Gary Stewart! Well, when your from Vero Beach that's what you did! My Dad and Uncle worked with him at Piper! R.I. P Gary!
Gary Stewart a favorite in this household.
greatest song writer of all times - but you are stoned - cooley pope - Detroit Mi.
Did Lucille and trigger have a baby guitar or what man that thing has character
An American Icon and legend songwriter. Did everything his way. A true genius storyteller with his songs.
Anyway I can head with you guys I love to be a part I can carry a tune
Not sure what you are asking ?
Fastest 1 hour and 20 minutes and worth every second.
I have watched this 5 or 6 times and its still no enough I love the songs and the stories .
Thanks for been a great fan of my dad ma’am geroge strait ma’am 🥰💝
Born in 72’ and the biggest George Strait fan ever; so glad I saw this video to see where the magic came from…..#🎼🎸👑George✨
