- Classic song from 1969 written by Canadian Ian Tyson (Ian & Sylvia) and performed by Judy Collins. She is backed by Buddy Emmons/pedal steel guitar; James Burton/electric guitar; Jim Gordon/Drums; Chris Ethridge/bass; Stephen Stills/guitar and Van Dyke Parks or one of two others on piano.

I remember being 9 or 10 years old and being with my Dad when he was looking to buy our first Hi-Fi system for the family. We walked into a department store and this song was playing on a “quadraphonic” sound system. I’d never heard the song before and although I was a total rock & roll kid, THAT voice on THAT sound system just blew me away. I’m almost 60 now and I’ll never forget that moment.
What a great memory. I have one similar except it was with my older brother.
One of Ms Collins best country style numbers ,,,love you Judy, u will always be among my favorites!
.....great memory!
Good for you-
Memories they can't be bought,,the carnivals are free

I was 20, in the Army stationed at Ft. Carson Colorado in 1969. I was coming home in leave and spent the night at Denver Airport. Early in the .owning I saw a beautiful young girl in the book store and put my southern shyness aside, said hi and we struck up struck up a conversion. The rest was magical. I hear Judi Collins sing this song and my heart goes back to Denver and tge young lady headed back to Boston. Where ever you are, I've never forgotten you ❤️ ♥️ 💖
That’s what the music is for man….beautiful memory!
This is very touching
Ever see City Slickers and Hear Curly's quote about the young woman he saw when she was young? Possibly, you have lived it.
The Denver airport was always swarming with MPs looking for deserters from Ft Carson.
Bad times, great country if we can save from Don Cheeto!
Saw her back in the 70s with my girl friend at the time. She was and still is fabulous. I miss the 70s. Anyone else miss 'em?
50s, 60s, and 70s.
Been missing them lately, yes. Those were the best years of my life, if I'd only known it then...
Yes I do. But next year I get to return to the 70's.
deeply, every day.
Everyday
Still one of my favorites after all these years. Getting old is not fun but at least I can listen to the old songs that is better than anything these days.
Yes, getting old ain't fun. A song like this can break your heart, reminding you of what might have been .
Yes !
I remember when this song was released. Even more beautiful now than it was over fifty years ago.
I'm 70 years old. Was sitting under a stand of trees on Cape Cod where she was appearing in 1993. She waved and smiled at my wife and I as we waved at her before she began her performance. Lovely woman. TY Judy for the pleasure you've given us.
One of the most beautiful songs of all time! Judy sings with such a clear voice and she is nicely backed up by a well known group of musicians.
I love songs with harmony but this is as good as any song with one singer. Truly a beautiful voice. Judy Collins ranks right up there with Judith Durham and Beverly Bivens. And she was backed up with a very good arrangement and band.
In 1975/6, somewhere near the San Simeon area, I believe Judy Collins, came to wish me well because the restaurant that I had managed was being closed. She drove up in a powder blue VW, took out her 12-string guitar and personally sang to me Someday Soon. When she was done, we talked for a few moments then she left. I put on my backpack and picked up my guitar and thumbed my way on the Coastal Highway 101 - to Big Sur, where another incredible adventure took place. What a year that was…
You should add details and get it to her biographer.
If that had happened t me, shyness aside, I would have thought something romantic was happening, regardless of any telltale or obvious signs otherwise. Judy Collins won the genetic lottery. Talented and a gorgeous woman.
WOW!!!
Definitely miss the 60's & 70's. Saw her 3 times. Fabulous time in my life.
Here it is May 14, 2020. I still shed tears hearing Judy sing this, 48 years since discovering it on her greatest hits album. It takes me back to being so young and dumb about love. Kudos to all of you out there for whom this great song evokes happy memories, not the crying spells for the one who didn’t work out.
😊👍👍👍👍this song is so beautiful 🎶🎶🎶
Ohhh those crying times …. Thought it was the end of the world. At 80 things worked out but not the way I thought in 1960s.
Dumb young love is EXACTLY what this song is about.
The ultimate irony is subtly spelled out towards the end of the song, when she sings “he loves that damned old rodeo as much as he loves me”, perhaps sensing the seeds of their relationship’s end…being that he’s right now only “looking for his fun”, he’ll one day choose the rodeo over her and leave her crying. Which, of course, would mean her father’s completely right…and deep down, she knows it but can’t admit it. Instead, she throws herself to higher and higher heights to prove her dad wrong (she juxtaposes her dad’s prescient warning about him leaving her with “I would follow him right down the toughest road I know”), attempting to reject what she deep down knows is true.
But that’s the key to dumb young love…intoxicating emotions, but deep down knowing your parents are right…it can’t last.
Everyone goes through it when they’re young, and everyone secretly misses it when they get older.
Saw judy a few years ago live, shortly after pete seeger died. She visited at the hospital shortly before he died, he was in a coma, she sang for hi. Dont you know he thought the angels were singinf him home. Btw, my concert, she was 74 and her voice was pure and better than ever.
One of the purest voices of the era. The song still sounds great.
+manthony1956 : Love the music from the 60,s !
manthony1956 of any era!
Don't forget about Joan Baez too. What a great era.
I'm 90's generation but really like older era song. 😊
Nope. Mari Jon Wilkins, her voice and music is more on pace of where I wanna be.
One of the best steel guitar sound ever, Buddy with the golden touch, soothing grace to an old cowboy and Vietnam Vet. Judy's rendition and tight cast of musicians renders a "Classic Gold."
🇺🇲😊👍
And James Burton. You can hear him clicking the strings until his part comes up. His work in the first bridge is phenomenal.
I was the cowboy and she was the lady. Her parents did not like me. I left and we never dated again. I love her even now!
Fabulous song. But steel pedal isn't the best I've heard. Good though, it doesn't hold a candle to Jerry Garcia on NRPS first album by New Riders Of The Purple Sage
My girlfriend and I dated for 3 years before we got married. It was a long distance relationship so this was "our song". When our wedding day finally came, she gave me a card that read "Someday Soon" on the outside, then she wrote "Someday Soon is today". Corny but cool.
That is outstanding. Nice.
@Semper Fi 03-11 but still very cool
I would say NOT corny but rather "priceless." :)
@Semper Fi 03-11 Corny is your comment.
Actually, I think your girlfriend then, wife now's message was elegant and powerful in its authenticity, simplicity and suitability for the history and the occasion. Somehow, somewhere, I think that Ian and Sylvia and Judy Collins would approve. Lost today in ja ting between ja man and ja woman is the purity of intimacy. And yet, this was one delightful moment of intimacy fit for public use.
Thanks for sharing it. Ya mighta married over your head, dude! the wisest men do.!
Such a beautiful voice, like clear mountain water.
Ah to be young again, when music was music and not the shit they call music today.
for sure. beautiful song
Don't be so critical. There is actually some great music and lyrics written today. You might not have been listening in the right place.
Nice isn't it? Seems like it all started downhill somewhere/sometime during the '80's.... Not that I'm old enough to remember....lol
indy_go_blue60 that is so true
indy_go_blue60 around 1986 country music died. there are just a few left this pop crap play today ain't country
And, I did! Followed him down the toughest road I knew. RIP David. I'll always be with you on that road.
We all have our own destiny's in this world. 👩🚒
Thank you for liking it. It is one of my favorites. I am happy to share it with you
Thank you
Thanks to Ian Tyson for writing this gem......and big cudos to Judy for picking it up and scoring a major goal,
After all these years, This is still a beautiful song.
Yes it is so beautiful. I love how it's written from the perspective of a young girl. It is almost a complete story in three minutes.
I saw her in concert with Stephen Stills back in Fall 2017 in Charlottesville - so great to hear them both again after so many years - her voice is still every bit as amazing as ever!
Judy has the original in my head even though it was a cover. But I have to say that I like Suzy Boggus' cover the best.
Yes -- all these years.
The greatest steel guitar player who ever lived....Buddy Emmons, RIP.
+carlos johansen I agree wholeheartadly.The whole band is great!I mean,James Burton?
Nobody plays this song anywhere near Buddy Emmons rendition. HE WAS SOME PLAYER. The Suzy Boggus version, well sung, is ruined by her steel guitar player.
I agree with BUDDY EMMONS the BEST there IS (was +)
Jim Gordon and Steve Stills too!
It really lifts the song and makes it unforgettable.
Mr. Steel Guitar EVERYTHING, Big E, Buddy Emmons on STEEL !!!
Yeah! The Big E!!
I saw Judy at the Paradise Theatre in Toronto last night. She was wonderful! Her voice as strong and beautiful as it was 50 years ago. And her work on both guitar and piano was exceptional.
Sweet Judy Blue Eyes is 77 today-excellent singer singing an excellent song and backed up by a world class band-and a great video-11 on a scale of 1 to 10.

All Star Band - You ain’t kidding...!
I had not heard this song in decades, but a few days ago, somehow the line "He loves his damn rodeo more than he loves me" popped into my mind. I could remember nothing else about, but searched that line and found this beauty. Her voice, and everything else about this song is superb.
Judy I wrote you the letter in 1969, your response was a turning point in my life
I've always loved this song. It has such a bittersweet and yet hopeful quality to it.
That's the "sweet" part of bittersweet.
I love this song it so beautifully 👍👍👍🎶
Judy Collins is the only woman on earth whose voice brings me to silent tears. Her voice is nonpareil! Love her.
there was nobody like Judy Blue Eyes This is my favorite version
She's not dead.
@@doughelms558 80 Today May 4.
@@sgtcrab1 - You're right, thanks. (Well..in two more days.)
Amen!
No one covers this song better than Judy Collins.
I like this version so much because all the backing musicians mesh so well with Judy's voice.
I like this version: a mix of folk and country.
Ohhhthh the sound of my youth....and still to today. Love and peace to you all!
I just LOVE her. She was one of the few artist that our parents actually agreed with us about back in the 60's.
1969...home from Vietnam.....and couldnt find America I left behind......
rob combs Semper Fi, Vietnam Veteran, we seem to lost our soul back there but songs like this brought sanity, true collectors' gem.
I hope and pray you have found America again. Thank you for your service to our country. My brother was just18 in Vietnam in 1968.He is here, got the bronze star for bravery , will not talk about Vietnam still.
My brother was just 18 in Vietnam 1968. Was awarded the bronze star for bravery. He still will not talk about it. 2018
As a proud American, thank you for your service, sir. I am humbled.
It helped me find myself when I got back USMC 1967-1968 Semper FI
One of the first songs that had "damned" allowed on AM radio. But the seductive pedal steel - in an era of psychedlic guitars - was a breeze of fresh air.
This song captures very well the mood of the times, in the Rockies, a more open, less spoiled time. Beautiful.
Ever since I first heard it, when I was 8, in '69, "he's drivin in tonight from California", evokes beatiful beachscapes at sunset and made me want to move there. 20 years ago I did and love it, just like I still love this song
Great!
She was a natural for this song just like Janis was for Me and Bobbie McGee. It's always a pleasure to see great artists share their work.
'Very well said.
Don't forget Ian Tyson. Who wrote it. And lived it, as a working cowboy. And is still with us, thank God.
the way she sings "as much as he loves me" after: 'he loves his damnd old rodeo' that always moved me, still does. some women r so angelic, sooo good
My future wife used to change the words in the last verse to "he loves that damned old basketball more than he loves me" when we met in college and I was playing at SHSU.
Phunk Phil
I was a young Black boy in Chicago and heard this and fell in love with folk music , which lead to rock and roll, classic R and B, which open the door to Classical music to Opera.
RIP Ian Tyson, who wrote this as well as Four Strong Winds. He passed on Dec 29 2022. One of my Canadian heroes.
Best singer and version - the steel guitar is just perfect -of this great song.
Agree, except for Suzy Bogguss' version :)
tuneaddicted Colorado. Yeah Suzy burned this up ...
absolutely perfect! A wonderful song, it still sends me,..........even after 50 years! I am a Canadian, did not know that Ian Tyson wrote this! He lives in southern Alberta in the foothills, a magical, marvelous place to be!
Wish this sing when I was 19 in 1961 and hit the rodeo circuit with two pals, a 51 GMC truck and a two horse trailer. But it does bring back a lot of good memories and memories of a lot of girls along the way. The girl's Daddy must have met me once.
The whole backing band is perfect. This is just as good as you can produce a popular song.
No one can imagine how wonderfully linked are Judy Collins' songs, to my happy boyhood in England. I love you and your purest voice.
Miss the good old days of good music!
50 years later and still a great song..what a voice!
Such a beautiful song from a time when music was soooo good
Such a beautiful song and a lot of memories from listening to it.
you bet!
This song takes me back to 1969 when I met the beautiful girl who was to become my wife,13 years later..........
She has the voice of an angel. Saw her 10 yrs. ago, with white hair. The voice is still great 👍
Buddy Emmons. Just pure genius.
I love her voice and the songs she sung. First I heard of Judy was as a teen. She wasn't one of the 'cooler' singers of the time, but I fell in love with her music instantly. I listened 'on the slide.' LOL! Still love her all these years later. God bless you Judy, you were the best!
"You were the best"? She's not dead yet and still tours!
This song is about the love of my life to me for over forty years, I adjusted the lyrics to how our lives were when were young and where he came from. I would still walk down the toughest road for him, no sweat and no problem. Delia Morris
What a voice she has. Tune has a good country twang to it.
Absolutely!
How long has it been since a song has been popular that has such rich and true feelings?
Every time I hear this it makes today's popular music seem crappier than ever.
Judy's crystalline voice and hauntingly beautiful eyes........what a lady!
I would love to have her sing this to me some day!!
Buddy Emmons pedal steel playing will live forever rip Bud!.
Buddy Emmons will own the benchmark for the Pedal steel guitar forever.
He had exquisite taste and tone that no one will equal.
@@WildPhotoShooter and the rest of that band
@@cayogator They weren't a permanent "band" as such, they were session musicians. I only know Buddy Emmons for sure on there, I don't know the names of the other musicians on the track. It wasn't recorded in Nashville though, it was done on the US west coast and was called the "west coast" sound .
@@WildPhotoShooter I meant on "That Recording".......
James Burton on lead guitar. Later Elvis’s guitar player
It is kind of weird,, I ets on 9 nov 73. This song was playing when I left the war, when I got to the presidio they were playing American pie. To this day my 2 favorite songs.
me trouxe tb cara muito foda a música
bobba fett I had thev45 verging of this song my July
Glad you made it back, brother. Thanks for sharing.
When I got back to Travis in June 68, they were playing "It's a beautiful Morning" by the Rascals...
Some great clips of Stephen Stills mixed in here too. Judy and Stephen went together for a time, and Suite Judy Blue Eyes was written for her. Excellent song here.
I listened to this song when I was at my teen and still in Thailand. Beautiful song and her voice.
A beautiful song and a beautiful singer. Perfection...
When this song came out, if you weren't already a huge Judy Collins fan, you became one! Pure blue eyes and a pure sweet song.
Love the sound of this song, speaks to me....
Sounds like her dad wasn't into the romance because the young man was a lot like him. He would probably come around though. That's what I take from it.
I really get nostalgic about the music back then. It was nothing like today's garbage.
Soft, lament, ballad - Timeless, terrific song! with totally great backing musicians. This song was always like a period-movie to me and written by Ian and Sylvia. Not much to improve on. Thank you, Judy.
The last time I heard this song was about 1970 I forgotten all about it until yesterday it came out in the radio, I turned up loud and told my uncle my dad loved this song ,and I said my dad also has this album, I miss my dad he passed away on September the 7th last year I love to listen to all the song,s he loved ,altho my father is gone ,I'm a part of him ,so he lives on and on .my dad is in all my children and my children,s children and on and on.
A FOREVER classic.
This will still be here long after we're gone...
The musicianship here is incomparable - Emmons, Burton, Gordon, Ethridge, Stills, Parks - what a group of "session" players. Tight as a drum. This was my first wife's favorite and she sang it beautifully. Don't miss her, but I miss her voice.
No question of the superior playing. I like Judy's wording and phrasing used in the Smothers Brothers' version. Very slight changes from this version.
Just shared this today, as an amazing example of how steel guitar should be played. RIP Buddy Emmons.
I was on my second tour in Vietnam when this came out. Always enjoyed Judy. It was a great time for music. Every song seemed to have it's own story to tell. Judy was always good at telling that story.
I always thought Judy Collins had the most beautiful, huge, doe-like eyes.
***** Agree, but so did Linda.
***** Just a small PS,came here after listening to Soledad Bravo...Canto de la poesa de mis companeros.
clever!!!
If she put this out today in the country scene it would end up number 1.
I love this song. It's an iconic Canadian song. I love her voice, the emotion expressed and how many can identify this song within each one's individual late teen to young adult life.
I didn't know this was Canadian. If it is, then Canadians rock.
Definitely, it feels the emotion of young adult life, perhaps its beyond that.
This, from an icon of music, beauty and talent that is unsurpassed. Her voice is angelic, and she inspired songs from others, and is still performing at 80. A living musical treasure!
maybe her best work. Hear it once, never forget it. Someday soon we'll all be so happy again.
Tell me this doesn't touch your soul.
It has to touch you.
If it doesn't then you have NO soul !
Judy is still touring and doing many shows in small venues. I had the pleasure of hearing her in a small bar in Greenville SC not too long ago, She still sings as beautifully and as graciously as she did when hippies like me were in college and hearing her in the Village in the Big Apple.
heard this song 1000 times while in Viet nam ...
Me too, even though I was pretty much a pure rock and roller this song would really make me think about home,
Heard it a lot in April 1969 in Vietnam while on the Cambodian Border.
Thanks for that, btw.
Uccellino God bless you.....i remember that era very well....wishing you a long healthy life of love and peace
When I was lucky I did, most of the time it was Motown
Why didn't this great song and recording by Judy become a bigger hit? I looked it up and the single peaked at only #55 on Billboards 100 the week of March 8, 1969. I don't think you will ever hear a better steel guitar on a pop song. Maybe the top 40 stations thought it was too country sounding and the country stations thought it was too pop? That used to happen.Thank you.
Your right, it sounded too country for the masses, '69 was going in a different direction,...
Let’s face it some people have no taste for music. Judy’s Amazing Grace rendition brings tears to a bronze statue
@@mrfriz4091 YES!! although,I didn't tear up, it is amazing,great call.
I REMEMBER WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT 1969, LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY. 20 YEARS OLD, READY TO MARRIED , NOW MY WIFE IS GONE , CANCER CAME AND TOOK HER AWAY FROM ME 10-30- 07. SHELLY, WE BOTH DIED THE SAME DAY
Which means she can never be taken away. She is part of you.
I'm covering this song this weekend w country band. WOW, I had remembered that I loved it, but I started crying listening, especially since Buddy just passed away this week. An awesome record, same w/ the singing, and the playing!!! Ouch so good.
I've always felt that Judy Collins' songs - sung by her - never received
the air-play in the U.K. that they so richly deserved. Although her
songs have been sung by many others, no-one delivers like Judy - that
oh-so beautiful voice.
Heard this song on Supernatural this week, and I'm in love with it now
+feedthekitty1 Me too.
feedthekitty1 hell yeah!
Not too late to appreciate it. I loved it when I first heard it some 40 years ago.
I've always been in love with it.
Had forgotten this one. Happily found this, and thanks for reminding me.
I was two years old but listened to these songs growing up. Beautiful
truly, a stellar lesson on how to stick to 2" tape.....and no one was better at it than Buddy Emmons and James Burton.
I die! for every beat of this song...every heavenly note from Judy's voice ~~~ Since it was 1st released ~
possibly the best song I have ever heard. I am not over selling it, either.
Supernatural me trouxe aqui... e descobri que essa mulher canta muito! 20 anos nas costas e eu nunca ouvi as músicas dela hehehe são todas perfeitas!
I bought a pedal steel because of this song...47 years later! A song of this quality keeps the fires burnin' for a long long time!
This is the absolute best version of this song hands down
The steel guitar & Judy’ s melancholy voice are just the best of all time. Can’t you just picture the damned old rodeo
Wow, brings back some great memories of college in the four corners area. I was just out of the service, and attending school. Met my wife there, and had many good times hearing the song performed by a great cover band in dates in Farmington, Nm.
Hadn't even met my husband yet when he was Captain J. A. "Smith," flying F 4s in Viet Nam. It's taken us both a fair amount of work and a lot of love to deal with all the stuff dragging along behind him..Bless you all.
My mother loved Judy Collins, this song brings back such wonderful memories.
brings me back to my 20's, thank you judy
Magnificent Masterpiece from the beautiful Judy Collins, very beautiful piece of legendary music
The first time I heard this I was 8 years old. Now, I'm 61 and I have to say, this is still one of the best songs by one of the best vocalists ever.
I can't listen to this song without tearing up so many memories of good times and a little heartbreak thrown in, my favorite song by Judy.
To see even one dislike to this video shows that there truly is no accounting for taste.
Not to mention they are truly DUMBASSES!!!
I really feel sorry for them, they must be dead to music!
The number of dislikes divided by number of likes x 100 =percentage of assholes in the general population. From my own calculation based on a few hundred vids, it is from 1-4% usually.
I sing this to my boys as a lullabye
That's awesome.
Yeah they love it
