I grew up with my Dad always playing country music and heard a lot of Kenny Rogers. I still love him today. I appreciate your commentary and I am with you all the way with only wanting and EXPECTING an alpha male for a spouse. Thankfully, that is exactly what my husband is. Alpha male, head of our household, protector, and provider.
Kenny and Lionel Ritchie were great friends. Lionel actually penned a few songs for Kenny. Kenny was a massive legend, and his catalog is immense. Lucille and Ruby are two of my favorites.
Live from 1980, but then in 2013 with Lionel Richie, who wrote and produced 'Lady'! Kenny tells the audience the story of how 'Lady' was written and then asks Lionel to come on stage and sing it with him! They were the best of friends right up to Kenny's passing in 2020.
Classic country music is about the storytelling. More songs by Kenny "The Greatest," "Long arm of the law," " Lucille," "Lady" "She believes in me," "Sweet music man."
Kenny Rogers is a Great Entertainer..... Kenny made a TV Movie based on his song "Coward of the County" Kenny made 5 TV Movies inspired by his song "The Gambler"..... Kenny was also in a Movie "Six Pack" which used his song "Love will Turn You Around" as the theme song......
@liberty belle reacts - my dad used to tell me, "never start a fight, but never walk away from one either." he also used to tell my bro and i when we got into it "take it outside. beat the hell out of each other and when you're done, im gonna beat the hell out of both of you for fighting." lol
I think this is a great song because the music keeps you grounded to the song and you can move with the beat throughout the entire story even when it takes you to a dark place. It a morality tale people can enjoy and really think about at the same time. I don’t know another song you can compare it to or another artist who has tried to sing it.
Kenny Rogers taught a lot of us many life lessons through his music. He is greatly missed. Other songs of his that are really good include "Lucille", "Ruby", "The Gambler" (which he's most known for), "Islands In The Stream", and "Love Will Turn You Around". These are just the list I can think of immediately. I'm sure others can expand on it. "Planet Texas" is fun and comedic, as well. Hardy's "Wait In The Truck" seems to be the only other one I can think of that tackles the similar topic.
I always thought this song was supposed to take place in the old American West, maybe in the 1800's and that Tommy was 18 or 19 years old. It actually took place during WWII and Tommy was a 30 year old town preacher. He declared to be a pacifist objector to avoid serving in the military. The Gatlin brothers who all served took offense to it and then did what they did after their return from the war.
Who couldn't love his songs? I'm old fashioned but I love that men are different than us real women! Should be the norm. Dang, I love how men smell and act.
@liberty belle reacts - The difference between country music and other genres is country is more about story telling - if you listen to the lyrics theres usually a story to be told. And contrary to popular belief, country isnt always about "a tear in my beer". Decades ago, yes, there was a lot more of that but things have changed - you can find happy, upbeat, fun songs just as much as the other. I dont really have any one single "depressing" song in my library.. its all fun and kick a$$.. If you would like some recommendations i can point you to a trove of good ones you probably would have never even thought of lol
it only takes one punch in the right spot, and someone could die.... at 53. i have known two people that are servin 30 to life because they just couldnt handle their booze, and Chose to hit someone....if they'd only listened to this song
Good afternoon Belle A couple of other good Kenny Roger's songs you should Chek out Buy me a rose Long arm of the law Ruby don't take your love to town. Those are 3 of my favorites that I haven't heard in a long time. OK. Have a nice day, and I'll talk to you later
Love this song! As much as humanly possible, I’m gonna choose peace. But if you hurt the people I love……I will unleash Hell on you! That’s what it means to be a man.
Country music can tackle tough topics. Some amazing country songs tackling difficult subjects that I would recommend: "Independence Day" by Martina McBride "Concrete Angel" by Martina McBride "Sad Little Girl" by John Michael Montgomery.
You might like to take a look at Emma Kok with the Andre Rieu orchestra from 2023, with the song Voila, she is singing in French so maybe take a look at the lyrics in English first.
I've watched a few of your reactions and I really think you would like Tom Macdonald... Start with "Castles" and then check some of his sociopolitical stuff like "Brainwashed" and "The Sysytem."
Darlin , if your of a ( mind to ) then I recommend a song by Hardy & Lainey Wilson called " wait in the Truck " will hit you directly in the ❤ and question your Morals as well. SFC.D.WILSON U.S Airborne Rangers / Cavalry-SPFOR ret. Stay Safe ! And God bless you and the pup. ❤

I grew up listening to him. My favorite Kenny Rogers song came around when I was a teen. It's titled The Greatest.
Ruby don't take your love to town, Picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, Ruben James, The Gambler -all good songs.
No. I love Kenny Rogers.
Grew up listening to Kenny Rogers. One of my favorite singers
Kenny and Lionel Ritchie were great friends. Lionel actually penned a few songs for Kenny. Kenny was a massive legend, and his catalog is immense.
Lucille and Ruby are two of my favorites.
Don't forget "The Gambler", Kenny's signature song. A lot of us lerned life lessons from Kenny's music. He is greatly missed.
Kenny Rogers, he's a great storyteller in his music.
You don't have to fight But You Have to be More than Willing... Don't Show Fear!
Just gotta say, beautiful dog.
You must do "Lady", the live version
Live from 1980, but then in 2013 with Lionel Richie, who wrote and produced 'Lady'! Kenny tells the audience the story of how 'Lady' was written and then asks Lionel to come on stage and sing it with him! They were the best of friends right up to Kenny's passing in 2020.
He did a song called Ruby. Don't take your love to town one of his earliest songs
That Dog! WOW....She's a beauty😊
The Movie name after this song with Kenny Rogers played in.This movie was shot in Crawforville Ga.
Classic country music is about the storytelling.

For a modern song with a similar theme check out "Wait in the Truck" by Hardy
I thought I heard her say at 2:00 "Be full Hardy." 😂 I love it!
Good afternoon Belle
A couple of other good Kenny Roger's songs you should Chek out
Buy me a rose
Long arm of the law
Ruby don't take your love to town.
Those are 3 of my favorites that I haven't heard in a long time.
OK. Have a nice day, and I'll talk to you later
Love this song! As much as humanly possible, I’m gonna choose peace. But if you hurt the people I love……I will unleash Hell on you! That’s what it means to be a man.
"Beware the wrath of a patient man..."
You gotta watch out for those upbeat songs in the older country. They bely a story that aint always pretty sometimes.
#KennyRogers ❤❤🤘🤠🤘 i agree with the Alpha male
React to Hardy, "Wait in The Truck" great with Lainey Wilson. Do the video, not just the ACM
Country music can tackle tough topics. Some amazing country songs tackling difficult subjects that I would recommend:

IN TEARS TY
Leroy’s the best sidekick ever 👍😎
Need do he stopped loving her today by George jones
"The Gambler"
I think you might like some of the messaging in some metal music that I'm fond of. I can recommend Dragonforce and Hammerfall in particular.
Alyssa lies - John Michael carol
U won't keep a dry eye
This is one of my fave. Gen x here. Too many soy boys I have been in his place hence why it is one of my favorites.

Damn, you're pretty. The human reactor is too.
