I'm a child of the mid 70's and early 80's. I loved it from Meatloaf, but man, gotta say...Jamey gives it a whole new meaning. I think he definitely does it justice in the country genre. The way he sings it, I forget its even a Meatloaf song. For those haters who say some songs shouldn't be re-made...keep an open mind. I think it depends on the artist, not the song.
Im a Meatloaf Steinman fan and I think this version is cool...better than the Bonnie Tyler dance version...
I am not a fan of covers but agree Jamey nails it .. he covers 4 walls of raiford also and manalive Ronnie would be proud if that one even
Outstanding version!
Steinman was heavily influenced by country western music and definitely would have approved.
Also...that lap steel is sweet!
Edit: There's and interview w/JS on YT where he says that this was written with country influence in mind.
April, we lost Meat loaf this year. Jimmy Buffett is in, disrepair? I knew Meat's version, but this one, well, sounds solid in my soul. This, and, certain other Meatloaf songs, Remind me of younger days. I am knocking on 60, however, I am still young at heart sis!!!!! I hope you are as well. Peace, John. Humbled.
This version needs to be rereleased. It is so well done in that country genre. Meat Loaf would be right up there singing with him.
Agree one thousand percent.
@@lootent-dan and Jim Steinman on piano! Have to include the song writing genius Jim!
It’s that painfully slow delivery of this song along with that wonderful steel guitar. Beautifully done!
He wrecked the song
💯😊♥️
The best singer. I've seen him in concert 22 times. True country.
I have been a huge Meat Loaf fan since I was 12; I'd have to say Jamey took this song to a whole new level!!
2024 and I still listen to this and Jamey Johnson's music. The best out there!
This is a really good cover of an old Meatloaf song, Jamey Johnson is really one of the best in today's country music, I really wish this was played on the radio.
Jamey makes every word of this song hang there for like 5 minutes it seems. It's almost like he's reading it to a classroom out of a book for a lesson except his voice is phenomenal. He completely stripped down a song that was pretty much already stripped down. You absolutely hang on to every single word. I've heard Jamie do many versions of cover songs he does a great job on a lot of them but when I heard this one I said there's nothing Jamie can't do. Such respect to meatloaf by the way he did this. Thank God for Jamey Johnson for bringing integrity to traditional country music and never half-assing anything. And thanks to the late Don Imus for asking him to do this. Simply simply brilliant
Soulful word for word, touches and pull my heart strings. Funny how some judge love by time spent together. Others judge love by the heart that never wavers 💖
I haven't found a Jamey Johnson performance I didn't like. The man is an AMAZING TALENT!!!!
KimitrustGod Divine is this same Jamey Johnson got his start on the voice when he was 19?
He is amazing too by the way I would go anywhere to see him anytime
It's a different one. Jamey's been in Nashville for years. He's written songs for just about everybody in Nashville. He is also a USMC veteran.
So much like actually living on this modern day. Where nothing is guaranteed to be the same tomorrow.
KimitrustGod Divine yeah he's awesome 😂
That's a pure country music voice
I'm not sure if there is a more powerful and genuine voice in the music industry today.
There is. Chris Stapleton.
Chris Stapleton isn't better than JJ sorry
Nate F.
Cody Jinks IMO
Also would love to hear a collaboration between them...
Dell Sykes Music i would love to hear a vocal duo with Jamey Johnson and Cody Jinks!
Robert Johnson they have played together. some live videos of them on youtube . i hope you find them because its prettt badass
Only the great Jamey Johnson could turn an old Meatloaf song into a legit country song! This is REAL!
Jamey is one of those you just want to go see in a smoke filled, beer, mix drink bars. I love his music. He will be marked as a great one.
Jamey has writen more #1 songs than you will ever know. I think he put a lot of heart in this ... and every cover he has done.
One of the few REAL country artists out there.
10/3/24.. Was, Is, and Always Will Be the Version of this song which All other versions will be measured by.
Absolute Tear jerker. 💙
Jim Steinman, who wrote this song, said he originally thought this would make a great country song.
Best artist to hit country music in 30 years!!!
All I can say Jamey is you've been there. It's in that beautiful soulful voice
Best country music singer alive.. To me that is
I agree!
Johnny Cash and the rest of the Highwaymen would be Proud of Jamey for keeping the roots of country alive, Even George Jones would probably have good things to say about him, One of my favorites, considering some of the new stuff that is showing itself.
Ken Adams He is good friends with Willie and Shooter (Waylon's son) He even played Johnny's part in 'The Highwayman' with Willie, Kris, and Shooter. Did 'Keepin' Up With The Jonesin' with George in it.
Meatloaf
He owned it.
Amazing musician and incredible vocalist. Come out to Cali so we could hear you live🤘
Jamey has a way of taking any song and making you live it... Incredible
rock song, turned in to a real country song by a real country singer, modren day outlaw,mmmmmm llllove it , keep it comeing
Some of the finest pedal steel playing I've ever heard !!!
If ever there was a country voice .. he has to be the best since Waylon
Jamey has the perfect voice for this song.
Arguably the greatest country song ever performed
Absolute living legend and keep praying for the day I may be able to share the stage with Mr. Jamey Johnson!!!? He's the epitome of country music and what I was raised on AND grew up performing. Artists like he and a few others are the reason TRUE country music stays Alive!!! I Will ALWAYS honor them legendary performers in All my shows!! I once told Merle Haggard to his face in 2000 that I Will continue to sing his songs and honor traditional country music until the day I die! He was really touched!! He was 63 .
Meat Loaf was great in the '70s. We are fortunate to have Jamey Johnson today; country music meets soul music.
I love to hear Jamey sing this❤❤❤
i have loved this song all my life but after so many years hearing the song. this version made me realize again how a song delivered from the heart. still brings a tear to the eye.
From One of the greatest albums in history . Meatloaf was incredible. Makes me sad hearing this since he passed. What a great version.
Jamey’s feelin and lookin good. Putt a few and I’m ready
This version captures the feel of the words, a man and woman sitting together in the bedroom, not sure about each other, not ready to stay but not quite about to leave.
I was watching Imus the morning that Jamey was introduced to sing this song. Prior to that time, I had never heard of him. Now, I have heard this (great cover) song countless times, plus all of his others. A fantastic "country" singer.
This song always had a little country-feel to it even when Meat Loaf sang it, the writer of the song (Jim Steinman) said he always heard it as country song.
It's a REAL country song, for sure. I would love to hear Meatloaf's reaction to this cover. Pretty sure he'd like it.
Heard him say that in a Bat Out of Hell documentary, and obviously it works.
@@thomassparks8294 I wonder if Jim Steinman heard it too
Jim Steinman, who wrote the song, said that he originally envisioned the song being a country classic song
Sometimes this song makes me a little teary-eyed. But tonight I bawled my eyes out. Between Jamey Johnson's voice and the end of my 11 year relationship this song feels sadder than usual. I feel like I am finally grieving my loss. Thank you for sharing this video.
THIS IS A GREAT VERSION. JAMEY JOHNSON IS THE REAL DEAL. HE WOULDN'T HAVE EVER RECORDED THIS IF DON IMUS HADN'T ASKED HIM TO DO IT FOR AN IMUS RANCH FUND RAISING ALBUM. RIP IMUS. A RADIO LEGEND.
Man I thought it was great with meatloaf did it but wow this guy is absolutely a vocal genius and I can't wait till Jamey Johnson and Chris Stapleton do one together
My Goodness What a Voice. Best Lookin Tall Glass of Water Country Girls have seen in a Long.,Long, time....,......❤
I was living in Cody Wyoming and left work that day in a snow storm? How I miss Imus,!! I now have everything Jamey has produced ,?
always liked this song, but I don't think I realized how pretty it really is till hearing this version! Jamey Johnson has so many great videos on here. Blown away every time!
Very nice country cover.
Wow. This guy is the real deal.
Great!! Waylon would be proud.
Kayte 0207 meatloaf
Kudos for a nice version that kept the beautiful lyrics clear
the guitar player!!!!!!
One of my favorite songs. How on earth did I only first hear this. My favorite from Bat Out Of Hell, one of the first two rock albums I ever picked out for myself.
And I adore Jamey!
Johnson's old school delivery, lyrical phrasing trumps any of that NashVegas pop crap any day of the week! How refreshing!!!
He had me at "Baby" - i swear what a sexy voice!!!! Love me some Jamey
Jamey your one of the great ones coming to keep country alive. we love you. Semper Fi.
I love Jamey...... He seems like a younger and better Waylon !!!! I am glad his mama let him grow up to be an outlaw.......Can't wait for him to come to Tulsa
I am a huge Meatloaf fan and NO ONE can sing like him!
Jamey sings it his way and makes it his own. I consider this a great tribute to the song and Meatloaf.
RIP MEATLOAF!
I really never considered you as just a singer. I have always put you in a special level as a true theatrical artist.
Goodness, Jamey is the man. He is the modern day Waylon Jennings. What a songwriter, he is the real deal, words, music and voice. God blessed Jamey for sure..........
cannot get much better than this,one of my new heroes singing one of my old heroes songs,brilliant
A great song. Performed by that wonderful voice of Jamey Johnson. Keep singing to us country man......
One of my favourite songs, and meat is still my favourite - but man this is great, I'm a fan. Excellent voice, and excellent arrangement - brilliant.
Damn just saying Real music needs to play on corporate radio
For whatever reason, I just recently started listening to Jamie. Mostly I guess because I had given up on country music. Every time I hear something from him that I hadn't heard before, I find more reason to like and appreciate this man.
never really liked this song till i heard jamey sing it now i love it
I listen to this at least once a week. such a great cover. Jamey Johnson & Chris Stapleton are what country is to me.
I can't believe that imus 8 o clock in the morning got the best rendition of this song ever.
The best version I've ever heard
It's not bad, but nobody will ever
beat Meat Loaf on this song and
to say otherwise is just plain dumb.
@@nashburnette7247 you’re being biased. Jamey owns this song. Meatloaf can’t touch him.
Meatloaf version was awesome and it was the original version so he'll always have that. But when you listen to Jamie's version you hear every word because it hangs for like 5 minutes every word. When you listen to Meatloaf's version you just tend to hang on to the chorus. But with Jamey you hang on to every single word. He does it so good that you don't even disrespect him by singing along you just listen and let him do his thing. A true masterpiece this is.
@@cjkopp1185I think Meatloafs version is great but the more subtle approach of this works really well
I watch this when I want to smile. Jamey is in a class all to himself, nobody touches him.
As an ol MEATER, this is just a fabulous adaptation of a fabulously written song in the first place.
And to boot done by one of my faves.
Wow, how did he turn classic rock into country so perfectly? This dude is a genius
WOW, never thought this classic could be country, but Man, Jamey knocked it out of the stratosphere.
Wow! Never thought of a country cover of this song!!!
Jamey Johnson one of the best
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
did a cover of it too.
Imus said it: that's genius right there! Awesome rendition of this song. Both Jamey and Meatloaf should be proud!
i have loved this song since 1978 by meatloaf but i have to say i love this version better, pure heartfelt feeling, i applaud you sir, vern in england
@jtp1389 I gave up on radio many years ago and am so grateful for Sirius XM radio. I would be lost without it. They play Jamey on Outlaw Country which is a station of SirXM.
IMUS loved him some Jamey Johnson.
hey stranger I hope you get to see this. we knew each other years ago. It's so nice to see you. I am really happy for you. I know you are really busy these days. It would nice to here from you again. I love your music.
great rendition of a Meatloaf classic...wtg...love it
I would love to hear him sing - when you love somebody.
what a charming and stylish way of presenting music on TV...one of the best love songs ever, with market quotations...congrats!
I had never seen this comming, this is actually a perfect country song too, Meatloaf must be proud :)
Amazing singer and song
How I missed this, I'm not sure. This is incredible!!
I think Jamey Johnson is awesome! My husband listened to him all the time before he passed away. Lead me Home was played at my husband's funeral. Jamey can sing songs by other artists and I really didn't care for the song until Jamey sang it!
Thanks Jamie, cured my insomnia....
Wow Jamey hey this song is bad ass, thanks.such a cool song . Hey stay safe out there .
I was living in Cody wyoming when he performed this! Makes me miss Don Imus! A Man that said what he means and meant want the Said!
What a voice....
oh man it need no words to describe this song
Gets me every danm time...
What an awesome job!!!! Jamey's talent just leaves me speechless!!!
This man right here. MY GOODNESS!
Beautifully done Jamie --- you are MAGIC :)
Jamey Johnson... Chris Stapleton... Aaron Lewis... the best there is!
Don't forget Cody Jinks
I second cody jinx... also BlackBerry smoke
Aaron Lewis isn’t anywhere close to being in the same league as Jamey and Chris...
Aaron lewis sucks, hes not country he was just starving for money, you wanna hear the best there is? Listen to BLACKBERRY SMOKE!!!!
Yeah, George Merle and Buck....good things come in threes friend
he is one of my most all time favorite...
I never realized how good this song is till I heard Jamey Johnson singing it he is a great country singer
This song reminds me of Don Imus! This song came out on the when I was trying to dig out for a ice storm in Cody Wyoming
Yup I like this version.
✌😎👍
Damn it I love this man!!
Good One! Gotta love the guitar player on Jameys' left too :)
I love this. So good. Play it all the time. His version of Crazy is also one i can't stop listening to. My male favorite country singer. Female is Lee Ann Womack. Yous gotta listen to their duet Give It Away. It's awesome.
I could have never left him on a stormy night, a snowy night, a clear night, a hot night..well you get where I am going. All it would have taken is one look from those enchanting eyes.- roll tide
Shae Parish Roll Tide
wow......I just had chills. awesome rendition.
