I miss when music had soul. This song was my grandmother's favorite song. My dad and uncle sang it to her before she passed. It reminds me of her. How time Flys by.
I recently had the pleasure of seeing Suzy at the Grand Ole Opry where she sang this song. She’s still just as charming and still absolutely nailed her performance!
My wife and I went to see her in concert last night. She came out with an acoustic guitar, her lead guitarist had an acoustic and had an acoustic stand-up bass. The sound was crystal clear and, at 67, her voice is stellar. One of the most enjoyable concerts I have ever seen. Suzy knocked it out of the park!
I just love her voice so much. His harmonizing is spot on. All with no auto tune. It’s a damned shame that nowadays real talent gets pushed aside for other interests and concerns.
This is the heart of the music. Our music meaning those of us who were there. The heart of it all. All in or all out, or not.. High plains drifters, until one day you realize that the road is your only home.
I'd not seen this duet before, I'm kind of cruisin through some Jerry Jeff after hearing this morning that he had passed. They're both great, Jerry Jeff shows his class with his kindness, admiration, the way he enjoyed seeing others shine. Lifes short y'all, sleep with an angel Jerry Jeff.
I cannot get thru a damn Jerry Jeff song without weeping!!! This lose hit me like no other!! And there has been a lot in past five years or so!!! But this one is just ( my heart and soul) and I just cry and keep on listening!!! That's exactly what he wants me to do!!!! So... I DO!!!!!! LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS JJW!!!! Hard to imagine life without you in it!!!!😢🎶✌️🤠
Sweet! Suzy Boggus puts 99% of female country singers to shame. Pure, smooth voice, perfect pitch and so easy on the eyes to boot! Jerry Jeff is a living legend and even yodels in harmony. Very difficult to do!
Just washed Suzy do a live Home concert and she played this! I would not have believed it. She sounded great! What a great show. I cherish this collaboration!
Thank you kindly Jerry Jeff Walker - you were fantastic and an ambassador in your niche of music. Class act. I'll keep playing and listening to your music.
" Between those Hank Williams pain songs, and Jerry Jeff train songs, and ' Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain', out in Luckenbach, Texas ain't nobody feellin' no pain ".
She is very best and so damn nice and humble. Love the song's words and her emotion, and perfect pitch yodling also. Jerry Jeff was laughing at himself thinking, damn that is just one all-time excellent version of this song.
I fell in love with Suzy 20 years ago when I first saw her. I was flipping thru the TV channels and came across her on Austin City Limits. That was the first time a country singer got the attention of a guy who loves rock music.
Suzy is singing as great today as she did back then and is just as gorgeous. She'll be over here in the UK in June 2011 with Gretchen Peters and Matraca Berg (her buddies). I've already got my tickets. Can't wait to see her again!
omg... i absolutely love her version of this song! A beautiful woman with an awesome voice! Music today is different but not as good as this. Came back Suzy!
Saw her in a Club in Pasadena Texas about this time. Was right next to stage . She was so beautiful and what a great talent !! Great great show. She was so classy .
Seen her in concert when I was 16. The sweetest gift my mom could give me for a Valentines present. I didn’t know her, but I loved her ever since! She’s a beautiful woman, and a fine musician!
Rest in peace JJW. you have given so many people so much joy throughout the years. Saw you many times, you gave it your all. Hope you get all your sunsets across the prairie..
This is one of my all time favorite songs living in the rural Northwest, Wyoming, Idaho, and now Northern Nevada, and being a grandaughter of the pioneers, and cowgirl myself the words really hit home, not to mention the soft flow, and smooth slow yodel that goes into it such a true classic, I'm surprised it is not more well known in the country world, of course all the ranchers, and buckaroos out west know it, it's like the rest of the world is really missing out on this one.
Why isn't Suzy Bogguss at the very top of the list of country gal singers?? Why? She is the best. Right up there with Emmylou Harris and Patty Loveless.
Talent, Principles and A Folk-Western Music focus that takes a little more work to Market ( Not suggesting that Emmylou & Patty lack Talent or Principles ). Not "Qualities" that Nashville eagerly embraces !
In watching this and other of this kind of videos, it seems that the more talented the host is the more amazed they are at the talent of their guest, and Suzy is dynamite!!
Jerry Jeff is always badass, and made a complete class act singing harmony with Suzy, who is far his junior, but also an incredible talent. It speaks to both of their skill and class to collaborate like this. I'd give a kidney to have been at this show. Suzy can yodel with the best and Jerry Jeff, well, he's just awesome. You could cut the talent with a knife in this house.
With Kate MacKenzie, Lucinda Williams, all 3, went Nuts in Boston! Blew the roof down , their Gospel Bluegrass ( Classical. String & Vocal Band), style was so perfected/ in prov;&, inpromptu.!.
oh my god, i love this song, i've seen suzy in concert a few times. she just gets better. sure wish she would come back to wyoming and utah. sure do miss her.
I saw her do this live in Seattle and it was just breathtaking! Her voice is simply the bestest on the planet... hands down! No one will ever compare to her ever! :)
Spent my last year in the AF in Austin. and while the "outlaw music" scene had not yet come to the place, ( most of the bands in the clubs were playing covers of San Francisco acid rock) you could tell that something was in the air and it wasn't but a few short years until the great Texas music that I love so much had taken over Austin. And most of the Lone Star State. I love this stuff!
I bought ridin' high when it came out . Liked night riderso much , like Suzy i learned to sing it JJW style . 40 some years later I still sing it when my uncle is around . He loved it too!
Great song. Suzy's right this is a great song to learn to yodel to. One of the great things about spending my life in Texas was hearing Jerry Jeff before "Bogangles" was even copywritten at the famous "Sand Mountain" and everything since including Rodney, Guy, Willie and Waylon and seeing Garth Brooks at a half full Gruen Hall.
@@markenolamckenney244, Isn't it amazing how Marketing can teach people that Crap is Quality and Authentic Talent must be ignored.... Keep telling Lies and people will eventually believe that to be Truth.
@@markenolamckenney244 Right! I played in Florida . went to work after developing film. At noon I played a tourist trap. 1 Guitar, 2 mics. A cigar box for tips. Beer and a giant sandwich. Then I went home to my sweetheart.😎🎸🎶
Night Rider's Lament is the theme song for all those who chose to follow what they wanted to do rather than what paid the best. They made that choice despite all the good advice to the contrary. Thanks Michael and JJW.
Galal Walker, " ... Thanks Michael and JJW." Yes, indeed. Songwriter: Michael Burton. I do wish that performers would give more credit to the people who create the songs that are the starting point for such great performances as this one.
@@jimincairns JJW recorded it back in '74/75 for 'Ridin' High I see Michael Burton is credited with writing it. on the web....i'm going to have to check the sleeve 'cause for some reason, I associate the song with Keith Sykes, but although I've every album JJW made up to and including 'too Old to change' I can't stand him thesedays and dont listen to him anymore.
I miss when music had soul. This song was my grandmother's favorite song. My dad and uncle sang it to her before she passed. It reminds me of her. How time Flys by.

Ok I'm actually kinda jealous!!!!
It defies logic that she never became more popular. Not only an angelic voice but beauty beyond compare.
Thankyou for sharing. One of my favorite Jerry Jeff songs. Bright tears to my eyes. RIP. Jerry Jeff
Jerry Jeffs train songs..................he's totally blown away by her
It's great to see ol Jerry Jeff Walker again. You are missed my friend.
Beautiful lady, amazing voice. Should have gone much farther in the industry. My guess is she wasn't pop enough. Love her and her yodeling!
Two great voices from two great people.
Suzy Bogguss is truly one of the best.
Jerry Jeff is just a legend.
My wife and I went to see her in concert last night. She came out with an acoustic guitar, her lead guitarist had an acoustic and had an acoustic stand-up bass. The sound was crystal clear and, at 67, her voice is stellar. One of the most enjoyable concerts I have ever seen. Suzy knocked it out of the park!
Quite a duo. None better.😊
Enjoy outlaw heaven, Jerry Jeff, we're gonna miss you down here.
Rest in Peace with the Lord Jerry Jeff, a sad loss.
I just love her voice so much. His harmonizing is spot on. All with no auto tune. It’s a damned shame that nowadays real talent gets pushed aside for other interests and concerns.
Suzy Bogguss is an angel and she blessed all of us.
One of my favorite songs. First heard it on JJW’s Ridin’ High album.
If country music was still worth a damn, I’d be it’s biggest fan. Alas, I am stuck in the past, discovering gems like this one.
This is the heart of the music. Our music meaning those of us who were there. The heart of it all. All in or all out, or not.. High plains drifters, until one day you realize that the road is your only home.

What a wonderful gem!
They yakyak for 4 minutes. Suzy starts the song at 4:15.
Her yodeling! ❤
Holy shit her voice is unreal
Suzy is amazing
R.I.P. Jerry Jeff Walker. You`ll be missed. Thanks for your music.
What an angel. I've never fallen in love with a woman that i never met personally...but she comes damn close.
I feel the same
You aren't alone.
Just washed Suzy do a live Home concert and she played this! I would not have believed it. She sounded great! What a great show. I cherish this collaboration!
Thank you kindly Jerry Jeff Walker - you were fantastic and an ambassador in your niche of music. Class act. I'll keep playing and listening to your music.
Wow her voice just floats. Sure sounds sincere... Sweet and strong. So glad she found those singers and took up performing!
Damn!?!?! How many singers can belt out music like Suzy and be so dead in tune 😮😮😮😮
Emmy Lou is Coors and Suzy is Coors Light…and I love em both. She’s intoxicating
" Between those Hank Williams pain songs, and Jerry Jeff train songs, and ' Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain', out in Luckenbach, Texas ain't nobody feellin' no pain ".
Movements like Outlaw Music and similar are the only things that sometimes allow exposure to mainstream music !
Never forget Chris ledoux
@@@elijahharvey5861 ,In agreement, a Western Music Artist gone entirely too soon !
@@MK007-YT couldn't agree more.
Newbury's train songs...
She is very best and so damn nice and humble. Love the song's words and her emotion, and perfect pitch yodling also. Jerry Jeff was laughing at himself thinking, damn that is just one all-time excellent version of this song.
I can not love this enough.

She has so much talent and so much class- wow!!
I really enjoyed that. Thanks and RIP Jerry Jeff! 💕
For the past 6 years this has always been one of my favorite TH-cam clips. Suzy is so darn good.
Harmony yodeling. Master musicians at work. I love this song so much, and that is a fantastic version!
wow, what a great job on this old song. good harmony with jjw. great picker and singer. beautiful lady/voice
Rest in peace JJW. you have given so many people so much joy throughout

Trashville does NOT have time for Western Music, they are makng Billions off of Country Crock !
I sat entranced by Suzy's sheer beauty and exquisite singing of this song. I was spellbound by both the loveliness of her looks and voice.

She was top of the heap 30 years ago.
that is SPECIAL! their voices and beauty, pretty good guitar player too
Jerry Jeff the pride of the Lone Star state!
In watching this and other of this kind of videos, it seems that the more talented the host is the more amazed they are at the talent of their guest, and Suzy is dynamite!!
Wow, I have just realized now that I had missed a whole lot for not listening to Suzy Bogguss before...!!!
Jerry Jeff is the coolest guy. He has it goin on man.
Just saw Suzy last night in Upstate NY. She is still great.
man...it's still all about the music...way to go!
Man, I feel like such a dope to fall in love so easily...
Beautiful singing
There is only one JERRY JEFF WALKER!!!!! But Suzy Bogess definitely killd this song!! Jerry Jeff is one of my musical heroes of all time!!!!!
I HAD TO COME BACK TO THIS VIDEO AFTER THE PASSING OF JJW!!!! THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD!!! LOVE SUZY.!!! WILL MISS YOU ALWAYS JJW!!!💔💕
I've hung out with both these amazing artists, JJW in Dublin, Ireland and Suzy in Boise. I'm glad I got to meet them both.
Jerry Jeff is always badass, and made a complete class act singing harmony with Suzy, who is far his junior, but also an incredible talent. It speaks to both of their skill and class to collaborate like this. I'd give a kidney to have been at this show. Suzy can yodel with the best and Jerry Jeff, well, he's just awesome.

I don't know what is the most beautiful; her looks or voice. Suzy is absolutely wonderful and a credit to Country music.
One of the most underrated voices in music. I love her singin'.
With Kate MacKenzie, Lucinda Williams, all 3, went Nuts in Boston! Blew the roof down , their Gospel Bluegrass ( Classical. String & Vocal Band), style was so perfected/ in prov;&, inpromptu.!.
Love, love
Very nice. Fact is that a well-written song like this can be done by a great many artists well, Suzy is just one of them.
oh my god, i love this song, i've seen suzy in concert a few times. she just gets better. sure wish she would come back to wyoming and utah. sure do miss her.
I saw her do this live in Seattle and it was just breathtaking! Her voice is simply the bestest on the planet... hands down! No one will ever compare to her ever! :)
Sweet Suzy! What a delight!
She has an amazing voice.
That hat !!! Love Suzy to the moon and back

This is the best presentation i have ever heard!!!
My favorite song is Jerry's version of this song on "Ridin' High". Suzy sounds like an angel here.
This an amazing song. She also has an incredible voice
I saw Jerry Jeff in Mpls, Minnesota, can't believe how long ago it was.
This sing was actually written by Michael Burton, who is an actual rancher from the area of Tombstone, AZ
What a voice!!!
Keep in mind she is 36 years old in this video-stunning Woman.
Oh my this song is the best i have ever heard her voice i thought it was good before it's so amazing
Cannot watch this too much. Happy Birthday!
What a treat :)
What a doll...... Elegant girl! Seen her once at The Ranch Expo in Bassett, Nebraska...& always liked watching her on CMT! JJK
Man She Is Pretty!!!
Love this lady - great song -
I bought ridin' high when it came out . Liked night riderso much , like Suzy i learned to sing it JJW style . 40 some years later I still sing it when my uncle is around . He loved it too!
Suzy had a lot of talent and yodels make it even better.
I love this guy, Jerry Jeff Walker.

I wish just a few of the young artists out there these days could display this kind of musicianship and ability.
+James Crane Jr. Lots of them do,but you rarely hear,or see,them because they don't sell Pepsi;Britney,Beonyce,and Mariaha,and so on.

James,
You might like Buddy Brown!
I liken him to Jerry Jeff Walker, Ramblin Jack Elliot and Kris Kristofferson.
This eras great song smiths.
That was awesome 👏🇺🇸

Wow! If you love country yodeling and listening to a gal who can really tell a story, listen to this clip!!
Wow. She's so beautiful.
Really love these two together! Missed Jerry when he came to Idaho but looking forward to seeing Suzy at the Sapphire tomorrow night!
my favourite video of the wonderful Suzy
Two legends performing a Chris LeDoux song...it doesn't get much better than that, does it?
Except Chris Le Doux didn't write the song!
True...written by Michael Burton, but I first heard it by Chris LeDoux and I always associate it with him.
