@@MattMullins-jt4gkI think he may have meant if they'd play the original? That was just how I read it, I could be wrong. I was wrong once back in 1980! 😂😂😂😂
@mattbrigner4815 God bless you Matt, for seeing what's really goin' on, BROTHER. This just hit me, trying to celebrate my step grandsons 19th birthday party. Yeah, I'm a music head, but there's a whole ltta truth to good ol' country music.And that's sayin' sometin', coming from an old hard rock and roller!! Peace out and keep on keepin' on!
Im 77 years old and I remember when Wade made his debut on the country scene. He was a very talented guitarist and he had a sound that was stamped on the era. As I remember, it was early 90s. He has never received the attention and radio play that he should have. He beat cancer in his 40s and is still around today, although you dont hear his songs. Its a shame. Best Wishes Wade. I still listen to your music.
Same here RH. Wade came to our little town last year and I felt like I was probably his biggest fan there. I still listen to 90's country every day and don't listen to anything else. What a awesome era for country music it was! The instruments really had drive. I haven't listened to new country radio in 20 years and I'm 37 years old.
He played lead guitar for Johnny Lee for about 6 or 8 years before getting his own record deal. And I agree, his guitar sound and his over all sound was and still is very good! Radio should have treated him alot better. I miss country music now, I wish we still had it around.
It's every genre like that too. Country could help rid the issue if they'd do a classic country genre like classic rock has. Problem is still play the same playlist like classic rock does with shitty acdc or def leppard every other song.
I met Wade a few years back when he was playing a joint about like the one in the video. Mingled with the crowd between sets like he was just another guy there to see the show. He seemed to be a really nice and down to earth guy. Wish Nashville hadn't gotten so far away from this sound.
I'm not American but I just love country music..... Something that teaches you about the little things in life to cherish..... God bless América and country music
Chase, thanks you, but it 's not easy to be proud when you have a président like the fat Hollande and when your country say come on to the islamists.... I' ll be proud Only if I was english or american.
I just don't understand why he never did anymore, never seem to go any farther? Seems he could have had decade after decade....hit after hit but I don't remember anything else he done?
@@extremeocd1184he survived cancer which assisted in slowing his career. He still tours, just saw him two weeks ago in Laughlin, NV with Billy Dean and Shenandoah. He’s still great and hell of a guitar player.
@@foxtrotthree569 Thank you for that information. As I read it, I noticed my maiden name was in the comment. You just don't hear or see it much, unless you're talking about one of my ancestors....Homer Laughlin...as in the china company.
This was one of our favorite dance songs back when my husband and I met in the 90s … and it’s still one we dance to often - especially when our band buddies play it live at our local Texas honky tonk.
I was just reading, "dreaming out loud" about Hayes' career, and wanted to see his breakout video. I couldn't believe it was filmed at Gruene Hall, the oldest dance hall in Texas! It's not far from where I live and I've seen many fantastic acts up close there...the town itself is a mecca for tubing down the Guadalupe River that runs through town, and it has great places to eat. If you can, get to Gruene and see what Texans are really like, they love their music and are irresistible...
Lord I lived the drinking and driving nails the next day with a hangover. I was ok if I made it past dinner which was actually in the middle of the day back then in Georgia. This song brings back memories. Some good and others not so good. Thank you for posting this video.
Nashvillle NEEDS artists like him. Brad Paisley isn't the only one..there is room for more! They need to bring Wade back! If they would listen to the public...We wouldn't have rap/Country on the radio,,,I don't even listen to it anymore...garbage!
When he looked in the rear view and saw those flashing lights from the cruiser, the look on his face was, "I do not need this." Great actor as well as an excellent singer.
I remember seeing this dude in concert when I was 8... I walked up to the stage waved and he threw me a pick... I still got it and still rockin Wade!!!
GRUENE HALL!!!! New Braunfels, Tx. Just out my back door! I am still old enough to know better but still too young to care. I'm a 53 year old grandmother of 5. I drive big rigs, cross country. I plan on driving for another 20 years! Maybe then, I'll care ......NAH!
This is Jeanette nail I'm 70 yrs I met wade Hayes back in 1997 I'm so glad I did he inspired me to become a singer,I'm a local entertainer in ft worth and so is my oldest sister ,thank you wade ,
i met wade hayes at a deer hunting club 16 stands no charge, invite only if you recognize dont ask questions place. we were signing in at 3 am and we werent going to our stands till 5 so we had a few pots of coffee and chatted about life. i knew exactly who he was but couldnt say or ask him. it was so frustrating. didnt exchange numbers or anything but had a great talk. the only reason i get to go there is im friends with the owner so i hunt whenever i want. singers and actors come in there all the time but hes the first one i actually got to talk to for a couple hours. talked to alan jackson for about 10 minutes but thats it. the clubs in s.c.
This was my favorite song to sing as a little kid I'm told by my parents and grandparents, and now that I'm an adult, I still love it!!! It really fits for me and my life!! Hahaha! Country 'til I die!!!
Hi WAYNE thank you so much for coming to Dumas Texas for singing for us fans. We had a fantastic time its was the best birthday I ever had with my family and friends ❤ hope to see you here again. Stay safe God bless 🙏 ❤ 💙 Your Biggest fan ❤ Pat and Gerry
I dedicated this song to My Mommy every year for her birthday. I miss her tons. June 20th will be 4 yrs since she left us for heaven. I love n miss u Mommy 4 ever in my heart
My daughter got the privilege of meeting him and getting his autograph when he was first starting out. This song reminds me of that time. He has/had a great voice.
Saw him live when this song was first released in East Texas. Happy birthday, Wade! Heard the song on the drive in this morning and it instantly brought me back to 1994 and The Pines!
Back when country was country and not this new stuff don’t get me wrong tho some new country is better then none, but who’s bringing wade Hayes back in 2020
The lyrics, rhythm, super guitar work, good voice in his songs convey real country life and feelings. Great country songs. Glad to hear his super music in his concert this yr.
I'm almost 30. Only one of the 90s siblings and my cousins in the family without a kid or a stable relationship. This been my anthem last 2 or so years lmaoooo
Wade Hayes!!! I had an "old" casette tape--- from when I just had-to-get: Dreamin Out Loud.... Absolutely Wonderful!! A Big Part of My Life, & what I Believed In!! Just had to look Wayde Hayes up today----to remember, & be Thankful---for him & his mu
The vibe I get when listening to his music especially this song is that he was great and I can hear all the great country singers in his voice ❤ I don't know much about him just recently started looking up his music he is fantastic
Who’s listening to this is in 2025?
Love this song! Still listening to it in 2025!
@@100PercentTexanWomansame!!
This song would become a hit again today 30 years later if it were played on radio. I miss this era of country music.
Ain’t good country singer out there to sing it . Better this way
Check out Zach Top he's bringing it back!

@@jacobenyart4075yeah he is, he is awesome!
I was happy I grew up in that era.
Why they don't still play his songs instead of this stuff they play.
Because Old country is dead just like old rock and roll. They're both going out together.

Nashville went woke, murdered country music. That town isn't even recognizable anymore. Even ruined the ' Opry.
Wade Hayes doesn't have any face tattoos.
The 90's back when country music was COUNTRY music!
The funny thing is, in the nineties, people complained that it wasn't country enough
@@jeremydhaston That's because they didn't know what was coming in the next centuary.
Yeah it was work hard play hard mentality in those days.
I'm closin' on 71 YO, pushin' 35 in my mind. Yeppers, this tune could still be my personal theme song..

Wade Hayes deserves more recognition
JCB correct. especially considering he beat cancer
JCB where can I find Wade Hayes song "The hammer and the nail" ?? his first hit?
U damn right
JCB yes he does he rocks my world .he makes me happy when he sings I need some more his music .where are some more of his hits.a fan V
Go wade and you do Oklahoma proud
Is it me or is this when country still sounded like country?
I'd go a long with that ya
True - I think it still does, if you find the right singers / musicians.
For radio..this is country
The shit that's on the radio now...is not country!!!
Go check out Cooper Alan. He’s got this voice and some great new music.
Wish thay would play music like this on the radio now instead of the same 10 pos songs on repeat .
you can't find True Apple Country on the radio? around here it's 105.5
Call your local station and call them out on their bullshit music .... I did and now theirs a throw back song every ten songs lol
Spellbinder what’s a radio?
It's every genre like that too. Country could help rid the issue if they'd do a classic country genre like classic rock has. Problem is still play the same playlist like classic rock does with shitty acdc or def leppard every other song.
Go on you tube

He's playing in my town Quincy, Illinois for July 4th weekend 2022....FreedomFest!
Camp lejeune you're n n Hancock incorrectly you better get this s*** straight
He is playing at my local fair tonight! Jefferson county wv
I've seen Wade ten times and met him four times including tonight, he is still the same humble and kind guy he's always been.

Better than most of today's pop country

Old enough to know better but still to young to care... My motto 😅

Thank you my friend and God bless all of you and your country.🙏
God bless you, my friend!
Amen brother God bless ya hoss !!
God bless you and your country men
Well, most country music isn't American any more either.
Whatever happened to the guy, better than most country artist today
I am Gen X 74. This was real country back into my 90s youth. It was my greatest generation that I was in.
This song goes to to a very dear friend who passed away my crazy ex Shelly Dawson's brother Brian Keith Tipton July 14 1973 July 24 2009
Sorry 4 your loss prayers 🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏🙏 sent
May Jesus continue to bless you 🙏❤️🦋
Great song
Sadly his career end to soon
But I believe he is better now
The late 80's and 90's had the best country music IMHO
I'm 46 years old, Im' french (Grrrrrr I'm not American!!!!!!) And I love your country music!!!! God bless America!!!!!
+Sespoirs 34 You are awesome man. But be proud of where you come from.
Hey buddy red, white, and blue. Not only is that America's flag but France has red, white and blue as well. Allies!

+Sespoirs 34 Aww I love your French culture. I wish I could speak French though. Hang in there!
Wade not only is a great singer but can play the heck out of a guitar.
One of the most underrated voices in all of country music. This man can sang!
Voices??! He was a god on county guitar! Next to Paisley.
I just don't understand why he never did anymore, never seem to go any farther? Seems he could have had decade after decade....hit after hit but I don't remember anything else he done?
His voice sounds like a man in his 50s I was shocked to see the video.

Still here 2025 who’s with me
“Having all that fun won’t get you anywhere.” That must have been one party shitter of a boss.
This song goes out to those of us that are old enough to know better but are still too young to care!
This man should STILL be a BIG STAR! At least as big as Brad Paisley... He can play just as good, and his voice is better!
Back when you could tell a Chevy from a Ford without looking at the logo.
I Can Tell. I'm Chevy all the way. And Yes The Chevy bow tie helps for the un seasoned.
Yep. Own two classic bowties
jjj
Exactly!
Bow ties or menstrual pads? 🤔
I have this CD! Reminds me of my husband. Miss him so much. F Cancer!
I agree the 90s was the best don't listen to the radio much these days because the music just not the same at all
None of the garbage on the radio today will ever come close to this! Great music from the last great era of country music
None of this new poptry as I call it will ever compare to the old country
+Rocket city joe Jones today's country music isn't garbage
"Luke Bryan is good country" boy shut your mouth and go check out the 1900s country
I agree absolutely, there are a lot of good songs now but not like back then
This song is my defining memory of driving five hours in a straight line across Nebraska
This was one of our favorite dance songs back when my husband and I met in the 90s … and it’s still one we dance to often - especially when our band buddies play it live at our local Texas honky tonk.
Man this guy was so talented. I was glad to see that he's doing better with his colon cancer
DANG. 90's country kicked. No wonder I liked country music back then.

Yep...he's from Oklahoma. Bethel Acres Oklahoma in fact. I was 3 years ahead of him at the High School there.
Clint Black: Hey, what’re you doing here!? This is Wade Hayes, not Clint Black!
He was diagnosed with Colon Cancer few years back. Tracy Lawrence had concerts to help with medical costs
