i'd let somebody straight pull out two of my fingernails to the quick to get the full acoustic version here - honestly think it's the best i've ever heard him sound
you aint kidding if still smoked and drank i couldnt stop it was my life i loved drugs so much ....was literally goin to die, by the grace of God after a few close calls, i finally got sober in 2021
what a shame he was never properly recorded playing like this. beautiful guitar playing and singing. johnny sounds great in front of a band, but to me he never sounded better than this, just the man and his guitar. such a talent.
Not underaided ... he was talented and people knew it... but Paycheck was out of control. Fighting all the time. Drugged out of his mind on coke and people in the business just didn't want to deal with it. Same for George Jones... almost lost his career also.
“Money don’t mean nothing, unless your heart feels good”. What a man. What he said right there speaks to me. I always say that the day I discovered country music, I discovered the language of my heart, my soul. It speaks to me in a way I can’t even begin to describe. When I can’t explain how and what I feel, I put on some country music and it does the job far better than I ever could.
I’m right there with you… discovered country music at age 14 and now I’m 30, the rabbit hole keeps getting deeper with life experience. Feels like an old friend seeing right into my heart “3 chords and the truth”
I wish I could go back in time to this very moment and be sitting there listening. Sometimes you come across videos and you just know you’re seeing a special place and time. That moment will live forever now.
Definitely a wild, rough cut, hard living man but a man who help tons of people and knew the mistakes he made and made his wrongs right. You gotta love this man!
Wow is all I can say. I could listen to a whole album of Paycheck just like this. If there is unreleased tapes of him with just voice and guitar, I know there's many of his fans would love to have it.
To me, this is better than any of his recorded material. Would LOVE a full album of him playing guitar and singing with just a single mic in a room. His voice really shines when he sings quietly in a natural sounding setting. It's unbelievable.
I keep coming back again and again to this, probably one of the most beautiful few minutes of video I’ve ever seen, you can see johnnys soul man, sounds crazy to u probably but he’s just so damn real..
I agree with these comments. Why is this all cut up??? I want to hear the full song! Both of these versions are so much more beautiful & poignant than the recorded ones...
The best video on TH-cam, Ronnie and Johnny will live forever as legends and this version of Sharon Rae is such a tender, beautiful song. Thank you for posting this treasure.
He has a unique voice for a country singer. It has the southern sound but there is something else in it that's not always found in country. Can't quite put a finger on it
When a singer can be themselves and sing from their true soul without having someone say sing it like this or that you get a piece of their soul in their voice. Sadly some will try and control people and not let them be their authentic self.
Jeez, cocaine made Johnny very introspective. Lol. You can’t deny he was an unbelievable talent and one of a Fkn kind. The human condition, it is a bitch. RIP Possum
Anyone know where I can find more oh this raw acoustic/ raspy / melancholy/ type of vibe of music of his or anyone else’s?? Something about it reminds of fog lake or Simon joyer. Need more man
Just to check, this isn't from the documentary "Still Alive and Kickin'" narrated by Dan Aykroyd about Ronnie Hawkins, right? It's a separate doc? Would help in tracking down the original recordings
@ilford57 do you happen to have this entire documentary you seem to have clipped this from? Would love to find some way to make it publicly accessible if possible! Cheers
Anybody know where to find the source material for this video? I'd love to see the full documentary or television special but i can't find anything when i search for "the hawk".
“You’re only as old as you feel”. Woman, “you’re right”. JP “that’s a lie”. Made me laugh. Damn that acoustic version of Sharon Rae is much better than the produced version…
Such a great JP song and footage I tried it a while back as best I could make out with open D tuning capo 3rd fret that leaves open chord F, then Bb/Eb, Gm and C, by working around these chords I came up with the following in the link below and I put a little Johnny Paycheck video together with it. Hope that helps? th-cam.com/video/GIpAgyez8oo/w-d-xo.html
Just a little less, and Charles Mason could have been Johnny Paycheck, and vice-versa. And I say that with respect. There's a fine line between "out there" and "lost." Some of our greatest talents have been on both sides.

Who wouldn't love a full album of just him and that acoustic guitar?
OOOOO man
I would die for it
Totally man, that dude had layers that not many people got to uncover.
Actually, I would love a full album of Johnny and the guitar AND all the conversation in between. This stuff is priceless and cannot be duplicated.
Love this so much!
This man was pure talent. The country music performers of today don't hold a candle to the likes of Johnny Paycheck.
Your right
Johnny needs to be in the Hall of fame!
Still right
100% TRUTH
Only Haggard was better, and not by much
Every time I watch this, I wish that there was a complete acoustic version of "Sharon Rae."
i'd let somebody straight pull out two of my fingernails to the quick to get the full acoustic version here - honestly think it's the best i've ever heard him sound
Is there more of JP in this movie? What’s the name of the movie? Can it be found?
Me too! Who ever made this documentary has the unedited song. We should find him and ask him to post it!!
It has to be somewhere recorded you can hear it in the back ground let me know if you ever find it.
Ronnie the hawk Hawkins and Donnie young
The “if I’m the real Johnny Paycheck, then I’ll die” hit me. Feel like that sometimes
You ain’t kidding brother.
Somewhere in between
Same
you aint kidding if still smoked and drank i couldnt stop it was my life i loved drugs so much ....was literally goin to die, by the grace of God after a few close calls, i finally got sober in 2021
what a shame he was never properly recorded playing like this. beautiful guitar playing and singing. johnny sounds great in front of a band, but to me he never sounded better than this, just the man and his guitar. such a talent.
man had the voice of an angel, RIP Johnny , a wild man , good soul
إذا لمس الاوتار و لمس قلبي 💔
One of the most underrated country singers.
Not underaided ... he was talented and people knew it... but Paycheck was out of control. Fighting all the time. Drugged out of his mind on coke and people in the business just didn't want to deal with it. Same for George Jones... almost lost his career also.
This is my new favorite video on the entire internet. Wish it went on and on...
Iv watched it 10 times just today
“Money don’t mean nothing, unless your heart feels good”. What a man. What he said right there speaks to me.

“3 chords and the truth”
I wish I could go back in time to this very moment and be sitting there listening. Sometimes you come across videos and you just know you’re seeing a special place and time. That moment will live forever now.
I wish my dad was alive right now. I could have one of the best conversations that ever existed. Now i have these with my son. To be continued.
A lot of people look over paycheck but he was one of the greatest to have ever been
Real outlaws and music men are hard to come by now in the world but at least we got theses videos to understand the legends
I agree we still got the videos of true out laws
Definitely a wild, rough cut, hard living man but a man who help tons of people and knew the mistakes he made and made his wrongs right. You gotta love this man!
This is exactly how I want to hear Paycheck raw and real
If you have never had a moment with a friend like they've had at 3:08 you ain't got no friends....
idk what he was on. but it made this performance absolutely magical.
Bless his soul. He was right when "money don't mean a thing" He was a real one. Miss him. We need more "Paychecks" this day and time.
Wow is all I can say. I could listen to a whole album of Paycheck just like this. If there is unreleased tapes of him with just voice and guitar, I know there's many of his fans would love to have it.
Johnny Paycheck lived his songs.
Well, he’s on the roll here it seems. But man, the talent of JP just shines light like thunder in a dark night.
To me, this is better than any of his recorded material. Would LOVE a full album of him playing guitar and singing with just a single mic in a room. His voice really shines when he sings quietly in a natural sounding setting. It's unbelievable.
I was lucky enough to see this man in a small bar many years ago. He was not feeling well, and only played a short set, but he sounded great as usual.
Hey Johnny we all love u man...
🧠💯❣️🎶
Straight from the soul
Man Johnny was something else Rip Johnny ill always burn one for you
He was on that night. Great talent.
I keep coming back again and again to this, probably one of the most beautiful few minutes of video I’ve ever seen, you can see johnnys soul man, sounds crazy to u probably but he’s just so damn real..
I agree with these comments. Why is this all cut up??? I want to hear the full song! Both of these versions are so much more beautiful & poignant than the recorded ones...
What a pure talent,no smoke no lights...just Paycheck❤
Man this song got me through some dark nights of the soul
FATWONTON what’s the son called?
@@jonasmackenzie7842 sharon rae
commenting to always come back to this video. long one of my heros ever since i first heard say take this job and shove it
I wich to Gid I could find this song , Johnny Paycheck one of the best True country voices!!
Chop us out one Johnny
These guys are the last of the breed of country poetry! By god!
I sure miss Johnny.
Awesome thanks for doing that.
The best video on TH-cam, Ronnie and Johnny will live forever as legends and this version of Sharon Rae is such a tender, beautiful song. Thank you for posting this treasure.
If I’m the real Robert Henry, I’ll die too. Fucking heavy.
Pure talent, I could listen to this over and over.
i have no words for what emotions this man conjured inside me.. May his memory forever live on..
This haunting grunge version of coked up paycheck singing sharon rae... it's mana from heaven
We are only as old as we feel, and she says your right, That’s a lie lmao perfect timing
God, it hurts my heart so much
Mate I feel ya
This footage screams cocaine to me... but at the same time I'd say its the best johnny I've ever heard.
What a great voice and stylist. It's a pity talent comes with personal troubles a lot of the time.
I was never around when he was present. But I miss him
I wish I could find and unedited version where it's just the song
Why didn’t I know this guys music?
That was so fin dope!!!
He has a unique voice for a country singer. It has the southern sound but there is something else in it that's not always found in country. Can't quite put a finger on it
Agreed, and I love his voice because of that. I think it has something to do with the fact that he's from Ohio.
When a singer can be themselves and sing from their true soul without having someone say sing it like this or that you get a piece of their soul in their voice. Sadly some will try and control people and not let them be their authentic self.
He grew up in Greenfield about 50 miles east of where I live. We’ve got a funny dialect here. Kinda half south, half north
@@Maintenancebay I think you nailed what I hear as unique about his voice.. thanks.
@@JM-zq9em He also bares a striking resemblance to my uncle, especially here with just the moustache
Jeez, cocaine made Johnny very introspective. Lol. You can’t deny he was an unbelievable talent and one of a Fkn kind. The human condition, it is a bitch.
RIP Possum
God I wish they would have actually recorded acoustic versions of these songs
Gawd dang man this is great
Anyone else think that these thoughts he had about aging are a foreshadow of his song old violin?
An absolute Legend
Beautiful soul
Wow ❤ rip j p ❤
Anyone know where I can find more oh this raw acoustic/ raspy / melancholy/ type of vibe of music of his or anyone else’s?? Something about it reminds of fog lake or Simon joyer. Need more man
What a fucking real one, love from Scotland
I love how comfortable men were with each other instead of being worried about being perceived as queer.
Just to check, this isn't from the documentary "Still Alive and Kickin'" narrated by Dan Aykroyd about Ronnie Hawkins, right? It's a separate doc? Would help in tracking down the original recordings
That’s right baby
Flyin' high
Tales From The Tour Bus brought me here.
Same, brother
Perfect example of a great song that was lessened by polished production…meaning the album version.
Donald Eugene Lytle....AKA Johnny Paycheck...RIP
Where can I find that movie?
Ol Paycheck's lookin rough here
Sonnnn you ain’t lying. Been up to damn long
@ilford57 do you happen to have this entire documentary you seem to have clipped this from? Would love to find some way to make it publicly accessible if possible! Cheers
Only artist could hold a light to paycheck was coe
Powerful
He looks wild.
He most certainly was
Anybody know where to find the source material for this video? I'd love to see the full documentary or television special but i can't find anything when i search for "the hawk".
This is one of the best videos on TH-cam. Is this a clip of a documentary?
“You’re only as old as you feel”. Woman, “you’re right”. JP “that’s a lie”. Made me laugh.
Damn that acoustic version of Sharon Rae is much better than the produced version…
Paycheck wasn't one for ass kissers.
line us all one up johnny
Hell ya!!!!!
Does anyone know where to watch the full segment or this?!
Anymore info on this doc? Trying to find it but it's not listed anywhere. I'm assuming it's different to the 2004 one
we got robbed of the sharon rae full acoustic (
Finally figured this damned tuning out
Is it open D ?
@@jasonsmith-vy5ot It sounds like half a step down, but I could be wrong.
@@macariogarcia You are correct
Johny paycheck toled my life story 4 real
El más grande 🫀😘🤘🏻🤠
I wish I was as high as Johnny is.
Does anyone know of a tab for "I'll leave the bottle on the bar"? My musicianship is lacking.
❤
i would kill for the tabs to both songs
I am so glad to have learned by ear.
@@coreyhall1150 post a video to help us others learn it!
What’s the 2nd song?
My ears aren't working, is he tuned to G? Beautiful sound on that little guitar.
Open G tuning but pitched up to something close to A I think.
I’ve been trying to figure out how he got that sound. Gives me chill bumps.
Such a great JP song and footage I tried it a while back as best I could make out with open D tuning capo 3rd fret that leaves open chord F, then Bb/Eb, Gm and C, by working around these chords I came up with the following in the link below and I put a little Johnny Paycheck video together with it. Hope that helps?
th-cam.com/video/GIpAgyez8oo/w-d-xo.html
It’s in the key of E.
it’s open D
Does anyone know that guitar tuning?
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯❣️
Can you ping the url for song- A LOSE NEVER KNOWS, HE’S LOSING..
The song is called I´ll leave the bottle on the bar
th-cam.com/video/VeS0qZ2lZQs/w-d-xo.html
not the same though
Hey Mike. Any idea where to find the full doc ‘Hawk’? It’s a tough one to track down!
can anyone figure out the chords he uses in ill leave the bottle on the bar? please i really wanna learn this version
Just a little less, and Charles Mason could have been Johnny Paycheck, and vice-versa. And I say that with respect. There's a fine line between "out there" and "lost." Some of our greatest talents have been on both sides.
If country stars today did half the drugs and booze these guys did, they'd be dead.....
Cut us out a fat one Paycheck.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
Anybody know what year this is?
nice
Crackalackin'
Worst think that can happen to a country boy with talent ... Is for him to have a hit record... Now the $$$ and stupid takes over!
What doc is this from?????
Joe Wright an old Doc on Ronnie Hawkins. some late night footage on Ronnie's bus
I just saw that in the description. Thanks
do you have the rest of the film? amazing footage
