Danced this at our wedding close to 40 years ago. It was the dance everybody in San Antonio had to have at every prom, wedding and quiceanera! God Bless Texas.
I remember seeing a bunch of country-folk dancing “Cotton-Eye Joe” at Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth, Texas. Pretty awesome to see. Since then, I have liked this song, but only performed by these guys.
OMG, can that boy play the fiddle!! I was going thru TH-cam this morning when I came across this video. I thought I’d listen to it. WOW, it blew me away. That kid that wears the cowboy hat, please don’t let anything happen to him! He’s awesome!!! 😃😃😃😃

This used to be the one and only official song that you would hear at SA Spurs games, back in the day. Can't really say much for the crap they play at the games now.
I won tickets off AM radio to see these guys live at the Mule Lip Saloon in Colton, CA back in the 80s! Talk about kicking-A! The dance floor was a former JCPenny's or something. 3-D line dancing, surround sound, barber chair tip over shots, lines waiting for men's and women's bathrooms. It had it all!
@@dorothadavis3117 A fiddle (violin) can indeed be picked, plucked, or strummed, but most often it is bowed. A guitar can be picked, hammered, plucked, pulled off, beat, or strummed.
anyone playing a music instrument gets my ultimate respect..I can only dance to any genre ..but to have an eye/ear for entertainment is mega awesome!! ..moi
an old friend of mine, MaryannBishop, we worked at UT together , RIP, she so loved this group, went to see them all the time to dance , think she knew them, go austin.
YEEEEHAAAAAW!!! Hell, yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about! That's one of my favorite bluegrass/traditional country songs. I'm a Sand Mountain Alabama native and was raised up listening to songs like that (in addition to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, and The Who, of course). Every time I hear bluegrass, I get chills and goosebumps because it's the music of my people, most of whom came from Scotland, Ireland, and northern England. Celtic music evolved into bluegrass over here, so to say there's a similarity is being redundant. Bluegrass IS Celtic music, and I'm proud to be a Celt.
I know I've listened to this before, but WOW, what a rendition of this tune! Can't believe this is on here for 12 yrs & over 1.1 million views but only 317 comments. Guess they left everyone speechless!!
There ya go! I'm from AZ, and we got a sayin' here, "Texans love three things: Backyard barbeques, high-school football, and COTTON-EYED JOE" (especially when there's a fiddle in the band)!
Oh my god massive amounts of credits on the fiddle and overall jammin toe stompin enjoyment of this tune. Man the only thing I wanted was more of the lyics. But a very nicely done cover. Thank you.
Because of the Tiktok dance or whatever of Cotton Eyed Joe, I searched for the original and some covers, and I stumbled upon this. I can say that TikTok doesn't do justice to this masterpiece. I've been jamming to it for a week now. It's just so fun to listen to and play. This is a real gem in the modern age.
Here's an idea if you like epic music. 💡 You need to listen to Mötley Crüe! They are epic and they have the best drummer ever! HE CAN EVEN PLAY UPSIDE DOWN!!! Look up Kickstart My Heart, Dr. Feelgood, Home Sweet Home, Primal Scream, the albums Too Fast For Love, Shout At the Devil, Dr. Feelgood, and Tommy's drum solos. You won't regret it.

That is cool as hell you danced to that at your wedding!!! And Happy 40th anniversary!!!
Excellent! Congrats! (It also played at every one of my Ft Worth high school dances and all the church youth dances when i was a teen).
An 800 year old Scottish song that's had the lyrics changed several times and reintroduced with a modified slip-jig back in the 1970s. Love it.
Hello how are you doing…?
What's the name of the original Scottish song?
😳 *800* years old??
Cotten eyed Joe is slang for clamida
What is the name of the og song?
There's a big difference between people who play music and musicians.
The current crop of pop-tarts play music. Asleep at the Wheel are MUSICIANS!
You got that right!!!
Love Asleep At The Wheel! Such an immensely talented group of musicians, and those 3-4-5-part harmonies are where it's at!
I saw them in concert in the mid-80's along with Bugs Henderson and the Shuffle Kings.
From South Central Texas and Cotton yet Joe is always paid at wedding's. I love how to dance to this back in the 70's. Bullshit!!
Hey how are you doing…?
Yeeee Hawwww!!!!! Jason Roberts & Ray Benson...amongst the best ever in the industry!!
God bless classic country!!
Country music to the core No rock guitars. All,Steel guitar
I could listen to Jason Roberts play fiddle all day every day.
Devil look out
+Sam Marcum ...okay, But no work done? LOL...mos60
Yessir. Brother Bob Wills is proud.
This band is phenomenal and that guy really plays the fiddle well.
He is no longer with the band
Better version
hes my dad

through the decades with all the different lineup changes, amazing musicianship has been a constant.

He's no longer with them. Texas Playboys under the Direction of Jason Roberts and Jason Roberts zbzsnd. both on TH-cam
You should hear Jason sing Amarillo by Morning. You'll swear it's George.
Look for Jason Roberts Band and Texas Playboy's under the direction of Jason Roberts. He is no longer with Asleep At The Wheel. I worked with his Dad
I use to do the Cotten Eyed Joe in the early 70s/mid...went out about 10 yrs ago...wasn't the same...all the old dances had been changed up...sadly.
Jason, the best fiddle player !
I do like his way to perform country songs !
This song is a seventh generation Scotch-Irish Texan’s birthright. When I was a kid I thought everybody danced to this at wedding receptions 😂
Spoke with Jason before.. He got my CD autographed. EASY on the eyes and ADORABLE!!! So sweet!
True real country and western music love these guys. After living in Texas you see what being proud is all about...
That fiddler is fantastic!
I love Asleep at the Wheel and this song
This used to be the one and only official song that you would hear at SA Spurs games, back in the day.
Can't really say much for the crap they play at the games now.
Still love these older classics, well played !
Ticks me off too old to dance to & don't remember steps but...sure was fun! Never had or have a weight problem!

Twin Texas fiddles, it can't be beat.
Long life to Asleep at the wheel!
That fiddle player is top-notch.
We have seen Jadon Roberts several times with A Sleep at the Wheel and on his own. And he’s super
I don't care what kind of music you're into.....that dude can really pick that fiddle!!!!
PICK the fiddle ?? dang I can't stop laughing , PICK a fiddle really ??? you PICK a guitar NOT a fiddle!!! lol lol lol
@@dorothadavis3117 wanna bet
JENNA PEARTREE excuse me picking a fiddle is done and I know that. That is a part of the music being played at the moment
I’m not into country music much, but this transcends all genres by simply being awesome!

Happy 50th anniversary Asleep At The Wheel
The Best of the Best of the Best and more Kickin country for sure and the dance awesome YUP God Bless AAtW

I could never even learn to read music!

Asleep at the wheel still cool Western swing

And Johnny Gimble too - he's related by marriage
My dad too and merle and Gordon!!
I'm so glad Ray survived covid19, Here's to hoping he lives to see 100.
Love that fiddle music and always have.
My family as been in Texas since 1865!
Mine showed up in Texas a little earlier....1838. I’ve been asked if I would want to live anywhere else, As long as it’s in Texas I said.
Best live show I've ever seen.
Yes love that fiddle lifts my spirits can't help but to clap halor anddance
Brings me back to my younger days and Saturday nights at St. Hedwigs!
TEJAS!!!! BABY TEXAS!!!!!!!!

Jason Roberts is the man! Gonna miss him with the Wheel but I'm sure Ray has it covered!
Ain't the same without Jason

near and dear to my country heart, thanks XOXO
Yes yes go on.
There ya go! I'm from AZ, and we got a sayin' here, "Texans love three things: Backyard barbeques, high-school football, and COTTON-EYED JOE" (especially when there's a fiddle in the band)!
If there aint got a fiddle in the band, it aint Texas swing.
@@billsanders5067 HELL, if there ain't a fiddle in the band, it ain't worth it, boy!
There is one other thing Texans love, sitting in a deer blind at 0600 the day after Thanksgiving.
Where in AZ boy?
@@bluegrassgal7856 in the 'Valley of the Sun" ma'am.
One hell of a fiddler!
That's Jason Roberts. 2nd fiddle is Haydon Vitara, Roberts is fiddle greatJohnny Gimble's nephew.
fiddle player is a total killer !
AMAZING

ASIEEPS COTTON HARMONICAS EYED LIVE BY JOE WEEI
Nobody knows how to dance the real Cotton Eye Joe anymore.
Too many think it's a line dance.
Nope, ot line dance but that's a learner start. Heck..AZ lame anymore. :(
I remember. Never saw anyone line dancing to it. Haven't been country dancing in 30 yrs now.
BURN that fiddle up !! I love ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL !!
Oh my god massive amounts of credits on the fiddle and overall jammin toe stompin enjoyment of this tune. Man the only thing I wanted was more of the lyics. But a very nicely done cover. Thank you.
I recon the 70 dislikes don't know what real music is
ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING Cotton eyed Joe! Not like that new "Country" (NOT) 15-Year old Facebook girl version!!
Because of the Tiktok dance or whatever of Cotton Eyed Joe, I searched for the original and some covers, and I stumbled upon this. I can say that TikTok doesn't do justice to this masterpiece. I've been jamming to it for a week now. It's just so fun to listen to and play. This is a real gem in the modern age.
Here's an idea if you like epic music. 💡
You need to listen to Mötley Crüe! They are epic and they have the best drummer ever! HE CAN EVEN PLAY UPSIDE DOWN!!! Look up Kickstart My Heart, Dr. Feelgood, Home Sweet Home, Primal Scream, the albums Too Fast For Love, Shout At the Devil, Dr. Feelgood, and Tommy's drum solos. You won't regret it.
I miss cindy cashdollar. She was asleep at the wheel!
Hot dang!
WELL SHIT FIRE AND SAVE MATCHES!
Ahhhh Yes!
This kicks ass!
Oh how I love those twin fiddles!
Sayin' a prayer for Ray Benson and cursing this damn virus!
#vr
AMAZING !!
Awesome
COTTON EYED JOE LIVE ASIEEP TX OFFCIAL

Doing a pretty good imitation of the 1967 version by Al Dean & The All-Stars of Freer, Texas. Great fiddler.🎻👍
T4TEXASTOM JOHNNYCAT wow haven’t heard Al Dean & The All Stars in a long time. One hell of a band.
