    Rarely watch versions of songs. Even more rarely hit the “like”. Never comment. I’ll have to say, this is one of the prettiest and most respectful versions I’ve ever heard. I will be listening to this time and time again for many years to come. Each and every part of it is simply beautiful.

    I do so much research on Blaze Foley's music and the fact that so many young people are recording his music. This is one of the best. Such a beautiful, soulful voice. Great career awaits. Well done. 👍👍👍

    Blaze Foley would love this, as I do. Great performance. And in the gorgeous open G. Stunning really.

      Yes. The open tuning adds such a richness to the song. So many great versions out there but this , in my opinion, duplicates the emotion that Foley must have written into it.

    What a beautiful voice, and great song. The best rendition of this song I personally have ever heard and I think I have listened to them all. Mr. Foley wrote it, and he was a very good writer and artist. I think he did a very fine job of his song. He gave it his feel. You, young lady have your own style and that is so very important. You are who you are. Beautiful!

      Blaze didnt actually write it. A gentleman called Michael David Fuller wrote this song and it was given to country artist Merle Haggard long before Blaze did his cover version.

    • @danielhunter4155

      Jamie Corstorphine Michael David Fuller was Blaze Foley’s given name. He definitely wrote and Merle covered it.
