This masterpiece is about a man describing himself, the word are from a man; rough beard and railroad tracks, the words make it what it is; sung by a woman looses its meaning, all is left is the twang of a guitar. why they do it!!!! I never heard a Tenor sing the aria "Si mi chiamano Mimi" or "Un bel di vedremo" it would be absurd, and so it is with this classic, and many other songs , there are plenty of other songs, that they can sing
Just beautiful..How could they get tired of this? They broke the hearts of millions of adoring fans when they decided to chuck Country and leave without any advance notice...
It's knowin' that your door is always open and your path is free to walk That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds And the ink stains that are dried upon some line That keeps you in the backroads by the rivers of my memory That keeps you ever gentle on my mind It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns now that bind me Or somethin' that somebody said because they thought we fit together walkin' It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving When I walk along some railroad track and find That you're movin' on the backroads by the rivers of my memory And for hours you're just gentle on my mind Though the wheat fields and the clotheslines And the junkyards and the highways come between us And some other woman's cryin' to her mother 'cause she turned and I was gone I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' caldron in some train yard My beard a rustlin', cold towel, and a dirty hat pulled low across my face Through cupped hands 'round the tin can I pretend to hold you to my breast and find That you're waitin' from the backroads by the rivers of my memories Ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind
Oh, that music hits me through the heart. Glenn Campbell was a great Cowboy after all. Thank you Band Perry for making this great song alive. I know there are many great dead songs out there that need to be resurrected.
To Ed's point no doubt about it she's an absolutely stunning young lady but to me that voice is just angelic. If I could see I would listen to her sing and know she was simply exquisite. In 2012 they played for Glen Campbell's lifetime achievement award a career that spanned over five decades 70+ records 45 million records sold. Such a legend as I put it into perspective my career spend five decades started very young on stage with my father haven't sold a single album yet probably because my first three or lunch here in 2022. I was blown away by her and her brothers. I'm definitely going to check out some of their new stuff I'm not a huge country fan but I'm a huge fan very fan especially the song 👍
WOW Kimberly is so beautiful that I was mesmerized. I have always liked the Band Perry. I was sad they left country music and went to other genres. I wish them the best but hope they will contribute to country music at least some. I never paid a lot of attention to Kimberly except as a singer but Holy Cow is she beautiful.
With all the immense respect to the late, great Glen Campbell, this is my favorite version of this song. Not even their radio version. THIS version. Just amazing.
I can't find how many random times this version of this song pops up in my head every since I heard that live! This has something to it that is just amazing! The whole thing was such an amazing performance! I wish it was on Spotify. Well done y'all!
0:28 This is one of my favorite songs. I saw Glen Campbell Play it live in Albuquerque many years ago. but I have to tell you This is my new fave version.
She has always been a lovely woman but damn, here she is absolutely stunning, and their music is fantastic,,, when you can take your eyes off Kimberly long enough to listen.
How beautiful ❤️!! I love this rendition of this beautiful classic song by Glenn Campbell ❤️I’m still loving this here on 1/21/21 Forever Gentle on My Mind ❤️❤️
I soooo love this and miss them so much in Country music! Oh how I wish they would come back to country. They filmed their first country video song, All Your Life, at my homeplace just outside Nashville. Was sad to see them depart from Country, but they are extremely talented & sweet, & wish them nothing but the best. 💖💖💖
@@speedracer2336 James... i believe you may know more than you say... at a certain level you are right , there is an Establishment in Nashville that is stepping away from what we could call pure country ...but if the plan is saying that they left because of it... well , i would say not to go that path ... admit that they did mistakes and that they are humans and fail would be a lot better , after that they just present their music , fans will come in droves... they had more fans that they thought, but first major events are going to happen in your country.
@@1DomingosSilva thanks, been a country fan for over 60 years. When legends state country is dead in Nashville, I take note. They include rap in some of their songs. It's not country, definitely not rock. I am a traditionalist, so probably biased. Thanks for your comments!
When One looks in any dictionary, in any language and looks for Lady, looks for beautiful... looks for... well, you get the drift... they see Kimberly looking right back at 'em Xx

One of the best country song's ever written.
Five grammys in fifty years for the same song. Hartford was a poet.
Kimberly looks and sounds amazing. What a gorgeous woman
Thank you for this Great Song in this Special Version. Greetings from germany.
Simply perfection!!!! Where is the standing ovation?!?! Glen Campbell would have been very proud!!!!
They did such a great job on this song❤ They should do it every concert, it’s absolutely amazing 👍
She has an awesome voice. Glad to hear them again. ❤
The Band Perry doesn't get near the recognition that they so deserve. One of the best Country group ever.

Sorry, I liked it. A lot. Your explanation makes sense, but music touches in many ways other than lyrics.
@@marcellogenesi6390
I heard a man sing Jolene....!
@@DjankoDK Yeah, and many men think that they are women
It's very rare to hear someone's voice live the same as on a studio album. These are singers who really deserve a lot of attention!
Band Perry all grown up. Nice to see/hear them again. Hope their journey continues.
I wish Band Perry never left country music.
Rip glenn i grew up listening to him.Big THANKS BAND PERRY FOR BRINGING UP SUCH MEMORIES SO SAD THESE TIMES WILL NEVER BE DUPLICATED
Just beautiful..How could they get tired of this? They broke the hearts of millions of adoring fans when they decided to chuck Country and leave without any advance notice...
The Band Perry performance of this song is quite amazing. Kimberly is one beautiful lady. Love her!!
This performance stays ever gentle on my mind. 🌾
What a great song for Kimberly Perry to perform. You can see the compassion.
She's beautiful....
My parents and their generation had Dolly and others ……I have the Band Perry…..🇬🇧🇱🇰🇺🇸 I now get the love affair with country music 🙂🙏👌
When my partner Dawn was in the hospice..she said never forget me please..this song sprung to mind..
Always Gentle on My Mind...love ya lots girl..
The violin player is phenomenal!! I could listen 500 times in a row and still love it and dance to it!! Harmonies are on point! Awesome!
Band Perry = Classy Country Music
Great song - and great performance by the Band Perry! Glenn Campbell is smiling.
It's knowin' that your door is always open and your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
That keeps you in the backroads by the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns now that bind me
Or somethin' that somebody said because they thought we fit together walkin'
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving
When I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're movin' on the backroads by the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields and the clotheslines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother 'cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' caldron in some train yard
My beard a rustlin', cold towel, and a dirty hat pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're waitin' from the backroads by the rivers of my memories
Ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind
It also shows how timeless a great song can be and in this case how good it still sounds after 50 years 😊😅😮😢😂❤😂😊❤😊❤😊
Oh, that music hits me through the heart. Glenn Campbell was a great Cowboy after all. Thank you Band Perry for making this great song alive. I know there are many great dead songs out there that need to be resurrected.
Listening to this again - brilliant!!
Awesome ! This is the BAND that will keep the 70's and 80's Tempo in our hearts and minds...into 2023 !!
Incredible performance, the entire band took it up a level on this song, amazing!
Wow.............my first time hearing this group. she nailed it..............!!!

A Voice of an Angel 😇 ...
Absolutely Love your rendition.
Thank you John Hartford for such an amazing song that stirs a lot of emotions.
John Hartford wrote and performed it. And what an instrumentalist, too! How quickly people forget the greats.
When we older folk say 👌 sounds as good as the original and the original is GLEN CAMPBELL. WOW.!
John Hartford is the original 😂
With all the immense respect to the late, great Glen Campbell, this is my favorite version of this song. Not even their radio version. THIS version. Just amazing.
Also my favourite.
John Hartford ❤❤
agree. blows me away. and I saw Glen perform this one live as well
wow she`s so beautiful. 😍
I love this girl.She is such a good entertainer and of course she's from East TN. We have so much great talent in E. TN.
But of course she was born in Missisdippi, however. 🤗
WOW Downloaded this version for my diamond collection!

When Kimberly Perry wakes up to the morning the world is a better place. This family is VERY talented!!!

Sorry to say not much real country coming out of Nashville these days. Have heard that was just one of the reasons they left, don't know for sure.
