This is easy listening and good for the soul. Taking me back to my HS days, Frank. The lead singer's voice and that guitar work is their calling card. Seconds into the song you know it the Amazing Rhythm Aces! Thanks, Frank and Harri!
Thanks for the request Frank. Thank you Harri for the reaction. They won a grammy for this song. RIP Russell Smith, unmistakable voice. Many comments I see. All of them are great songs.
A great American country rock band classified as Rock,Country, Blues, R&B, Folk, Raggae and Latino influences. They have been together for 30 years with a 15 year hiatus. They reformed in 1994. Great tune about being on the road, great guitar work which reminds me of Mark Knopfler, just a thoroughly enjoyable song. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Frank. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
That guitar reminds me of Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers. I've listened to this song many times but just now came to that realization. RIP Russell Smith, lead vocalist.
Lead vocalist H. Russell Smith wrote it, but Barry "Byrd" Burton brings it to life with one of the more beautiful guitar solos ever. If you want to explore more, try Dellas Long Brown Hair or Burning The Ballroom Down.
I first became a fan of the Aces back in 1976 when I saw them in concert at WTSU in Canyon, Texas. I got to see them twice more. They always put on a great show. I’m still a big fan in 2024.
Great choice. This is one of two Amazing Rhythm Aces tunes on my iTunes. The other is Dancing The Night Away, which is equally as good. That would have been James Hooker on keyboards. He would later be in Nanci Griffith’s band. I loved Nanci and he added wonderful piano to so many of her classic songs.
I know I have at least 7 albums by these guys, they are so good, thanks for bringing them back to light. Check out the lead singer's solo recordings also.
In 1973, if someone had told me I would one day like "Country Music" I would have shot myself. I will credit The Amazing Rhythm Aces' Too Stuffed To Jump album with cracking a hole in that youthful prejudice. I loved the cynical humour of Third Rate Romance and even the great visual pun of the cover. You should have a listen to Junior Brown.
Speaking of "Rhythm Aces" there's a great R&B song, "Searchin' For My Love" by Bobby Moore and the Rhythm Aces that is worth checking out...it's a classic number along with "Knock On Wood" by Eddie Floyd.
You should have a listen to Junior Brown. He is an awesome player who can do Countryish stuff with a bit of humour now and then like these guys. Guitsteel Blues, My Wife Thinks You're Dead, Gotta' Get Up Every Morning (just to say good night to you), and Venom Wearing Denim are some older ones. He also does Surf music tributes and some very straight-up old-school Country. Has been on the Grand Old Opry. He is underrated.
The Amazing Rhythm Aces sound a great deal like JJ Cale. They used to tour with the Eagles in their early days, IIRC. Back in the 1970s the Eagles were being accused of using taped performances for the music and just faking it. The Aces stood up for the Eagles immediately, saying that "no, the Eagles actually play and sing _that good!"_ I think they also chastised their accusers for being jealous of the Eagles abilities, and also said they practised a lot! The unspoken end of it all was that if other bands actually practised as much as the Eagles, they would be a lot better in live concerts. 😉👌
RIP Russel and Byrd. Thank You!

Another song that makes me think of my departed father. He loved the Aces. Thank you Harri.

good observation very much eagles like

Great song, now you have do Third-Rate Romance by the Amazing Rhythm Aces. A perfect trifecta.
That is a classic. Social observation, humour, and musically great. Made me realise Country can't be all bad.
Thanks Harri for playing and Frank for requesting this band , never get tired of the Aces ,,so smooth .Thanks again .
Great song, great album. Do the song Third Rate Romance off the same album.

EXCELLENT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the great choice Frank! Harri does justice to our requests and this is no exception. Love the biker frog. 😂 Country rock hits the spot 🌺✌️
"third rate romance " must be next !
I was thinking the same thing. I second your recommendation!
You should listen to their song "Who will your next fool be"! A GREAT song !
I know I have at least 7 albums by these guys, they are so good, thanks for bringing them back to light. Check out the lead singer's solo recordings also.
Hi Harry, your observations are right on point! You have my respect!!!!

You should have a listen to Junior Brown.
I agree I am not a country lover, but there are a few exceptions.

The Jimi Hendrix of the steel guitar.
@@ScottWiley-yy5cg And he created the Guitsteel!
You must play Buning the Hotel Down by the very amazing rhythm aces. It is different than the others. Everything they do is great!
A very under rated band lot of good song and solid playing.
Don't know this specific song, but w😮w❤️🇿🇦🥂 thank you Harri
Not familar with this song but I like it. Thanks Frank and Harri.
Heard them live at the Shariton Palmetto in Greenville. I blame them for some hearing loss. Loudest band I ever heard
I always liked this one. It always reminded me of Waylon Jennings' The Door is Always Open, that was out around the same time.
Anything from Stacked Deck, TSTJ will do nicely.
I just noticed I actually don't even know the band thought it's dire straight ☺️ ooooops my bad🥂 good sir Harri♥️💯
Check out "Third Rate Romance," their top tune! Love it! I have all of their albums.

Americana before it was called Americana...
Solid Country Rock song. Kinda like a generic version of The Marshall Tucker Band imo. 🤘
sweet esp whilw byrd was there
Sounds like they're influenced by the Eagles, Jimmy Buffet and a couple of other on the tip of my tongue that I can't spit out right now.
Marshall Tucker and CCR!...
@@PapaFixit That's right Thanks
In your video listening to 'Welcome Back my Friends/Karn Evil 9' you said you'd like to see the song live so: th-cam.com/video/P19BpRijJD4/w-d-xo.html
