Great song by a great singer & when the instrumental break came along i got goose bumps, played exactly like my late drummer & my bass would drive the leads. Sorry we all have a meter that expires unpredictably.
That's me on guitar!! I was with Keith for 8 years. Played bass for a few years then went to lead guitar. The steel break was one of Carson's most interesting!!!
"Only the GREAT Die Young" Just like another great and a hero to Keith, Hank Williams. So many similarities. Mr. Whitney landed and spread his wings .....got me hooked then he was gone. Hank Williams made a lifetime of hit songs and influenced the industry in a span of really 4 years. From his 1st hit in 1947 " move it on over" to his last" I'll never make it out of this world alive" 1947-1952 he charted 35 singles and 11 number 1 songs. 1 year after his death he had 4 Straight go to number 1. Keith Whitley's first song ti(l) the charts was Miami my A=¥t>I_my in 1986. Span of three years from 1986 to 1989 he had 10 top 10 hits and 5 go #1.. RIP Fellas
Just like Lefty! Of all the recordings by so many other people, this is the one that I could not tell apart from Lefty's. Sensational. We miss you, Keith. RIP
Marietta, You are right. I should have said just like Lefty, not a lot like Lefty. Really can’t tell them apart. I wish we still had singers like Lefty and Keith. They are few and far between. We can always count on Gene Watson to belt out a good one.🎸
Does anyone know what’s going on with the Steel Guitar around the 2.00 Mark? It goes very low for a few seconds. Was it supposed to sound like that or did he accidentally go too low then recovered? Even the crowd noticed that something didn’t seem right. It almost reminded me of like a power drain, but he ended that rift with the same low note. I just found it interesting.
Terribly, terribly sad how he died. From alcohol, such an incredible voice, so talented, so likable. Life was too hard for him. We miss you, Keith. I hope you are singing where you are so they can all hear you.

Love Keith and all his songs - especially "Don't Close Your Eyes" - such a shame he didn't love himself as much as we loved him.............
We love Keith Whitley. Beautiful!! Hank loved recording with Lefty !
The Legendary Guitarist Hank Garland Family
What a talent he was, thankfully we still have these recordings!!
Perfect beautiful song and perfect amazing voice
A beautiful song with an amazing voice.
GREAT! Never get tired of listening to Keith
Keith does justice to Lefty. He would be proud
So beautiful. Gone too soon.
Keith does a nice job with this tune, but he still takes a back seat to his idol Lefty Frizzell who wrote and sang this tune!
an amazing voice and a beautiful song
This is a true song, Johnny. You made all my dreams come true.

Mike mcelhaney Yeah. Keith Whitley died May 9, 1989 of alcohol poisoning at age 34. Devastating!
I wish I could get a way to get this song on my mp3 player or burned on a cd,because everything this man turned out was dang good!

Thanks David, good old country music!!!!!
I'd like to dedicate this one to my beautiful boo, Annie. I love you a thousand ways.
Beautiful. Gone too soon
Mr. Country music. Rip
Good stuff!!😁😁😁
I wonder if there is a chance to get the overdubs for Keith and Lorrie singing after his death there was a miracle in music
Great job Sounded a lot like Lefty
Just like Lefty! Of all the recordings by so many other people, this is the one that I could not tell apart from Lefty's. Sensational. We miss you, Keith. RIP
I had the joy of meeting Keith in Georgia
Marietta, You are right. I should have said just like Lefty, not a lot like Lefty. Really can’t tell them apart. I wish we still had singers like Lefty and Keith. They are few and far between. We can always count on Gene Watson to belt out a good one.🎸
Sounds a lot different. Even better.
Great
You can really tell that Lefty had a big influence on him when he sings this song
If I didn't know better, I'd swear this was Lefty singing
I think I should dedicate this to my boo, Annie. I love her a thousand ways.
I'm not sure I've heard a better cover of this song.
Keith Whitley and Lefty Frizzell had something in common: They were left-handed but played guitar right-handed.
Roger Barrett you really have me curious now. I’ve never heard this before about Keith. Could you tell me how you know he was left handed? Thanks!
yeah.
Does anyone know what’s going on with the Steel Guitar around the 2.00 Mark? It goes very low for a few seconds. Was it supposed to sound like that or did he accidentally go too low then recovered?

Hay Day Tinker Terri I personally thought it was on purpose it sounded really cool.
Gone too soon
Original song by Lefty Frizzell 👍
oppps,,,Alaska
A worthy copy of Lefty's version.
Terribly, terribly sad how he died. From alcohol, such an incredible voice, so talented, so likable. Life was too hard for him. We miss you, Keith. I hope you are singing where you are so they can all hear you.
