I remember riding around in Foss, Oklahoma with my grandma and grandpa in their Lincoln town car age 7 or 8 listening to this, Send Me Down To Tucson, Faded Love, and Anthony Berger. Sadly grandma passed away on October 24, 2020 and now, grandpa passed on May 13, 2021. I don’t know how to go on without them. However, Mel God rest his soul, is helping me through it. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I was lucky to live in the 50s, 60s and 70s! The music was at its peak! Mel Tillis was right there with some of the best! That man had a great voice and could write some beautiful songs! He’s going to be missed!
The best live country concert I have ever seen, was at The Mel Tillis Show at his Theater in Branson, Missouri in the late 1990's.... Mel's live performances were as good if not better than the records, and he had an exceptional back up Band.
Took me a few seconds for dumb ole' muh, muh, mm.m....ME get the joke!😆 (Suppose Mel wouldn't mind, now that ALL of his problems, known and unknown, are over.
I can well understand this being the favorite version for many people; but for Roy Drusky's version, it would be my favorite also. At any rate, a great song among so many country standards through which to remember the late /great Mel Tillis.😃😃😃😃
Ray Price's is often claimed to be the first 'real' Nashville Sound hit. I worked at a radio station back then, I didn't know it was possible to literally wear the grooves off a record. That's how much we played it.
JUST AS GOOD AS GOLD!!...Thank you soooo much for posting and sharing this wonderful #9 country hit back from the summer of 1977...I thoroughly enjoyed it!...(sound quality is first-rate too!)...take care!! :)
Mel Tillis was one of a kind I loved him and every song he did though the years and he will be in my heart forever and always sing up there on God's Golden Streets Mel Tillis you will be forever missed love you Mel . May God give you a Mansion On A Hilltop that one your favorite songs. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE MELL TILLIS 😏💫💜💫💜💫💜💫💜💫💜💫 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
I think this song means . He thinks if he burns . The love letters and old photographs . He'll be rid of her memory . But her memory will still be there . Burning Memories
I sure miss the good ole days growing up 60's 70's 80's All the super artists. and when Country was Country Music
This is what a real country singer sounds like
Mel might be gone but his music will live on !

Thank you for replying to my comment .
cmon melvin!!!
Trying to stir up the best music cz they too good to let go.
Where can you burn this or get it MP3 format ? The only version I can find on amazon is a live recording Mel did.
have done this too in a way. loved that fiddle, who played it?
That is not "A" fiddle player I saw him in person twice and he had 3 fiddle players. If you listen close, on some of his songs you can tell he has 3.
Ray's version is #1, but this is as close as it can get.
