I just watched another live of this song and I swear to ya I got the chills at least 5 times. It’s just a different feel that music doesn’t have today.
Amen brother it’s not even country anymore today it’s pop. Not like it used to be. I will say whiskey Myers is pretty damn good. He’s more southern rock though but a little country.
Listened to country music most of my life. I see now where the industry has so much control rather all control over what makes it to most peoples ears. And also what doesnt make it. And im 53 and am so glad i finally discovered DAC. And i clicked on his songs one by one that ive never heard before. And each one was so enjoyable and done in the mans own style. A style only he owns. What a great talent and musician! His genuine nature as a good human being is unmistakable and comes thru. His style of music is absolutely Country and nothing made today can ever even come near this stuff! Best wishes!
Well, I was thumbin' from Montgomery I had my guitar on my back When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac He was dressed like 1950 Half drunk and hollow-eyed He said, "It's a long walk to Nashville Would you like a ride, son?" And I sat down in the front seat, he turned on the radio And them sad old songs comin' out of them speakers Was solid country gold Then I noticed the stranger was ghost-white pale When he asked me for a light And I knew there was something strange about this ride He said, "Drifter, can ya make folks cry when you play and sing? Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues? Can you bend them guitar strings?" He said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside? 'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride" Then he cried just south of Nashville And he turned that car around He said, "This is where you get off, boy 'Cause I'm goin' back to Alabam'" As I stepped out of that Cadillac I said, "Mister, many thanks" He said, "You don't have to call me Mister, Mister The whole world called me Hank" He said, "Drifter, can ya make folks cry when you play and sing? Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues? Can you bend them guitar strings?" He said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside? 'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride" He said, "Drifter, can ya make folks cry when you play and sing? Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues? Can you bend them guitar strings?" He said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside? 'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride" If you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride You know you got a lot of competition out there Now the sound, it ain't like it was in the '50s when I was here And then you got Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson You got Clarke and Billy Joe Shaver and David Allan Coe And you even got my son

Still badass 2024 unlike most country if that's what you call it today

If people can't stand it go to hell on some where else!

I call it Classic Raw Country. David Allan Coe is GOAT!
You people are retarded. This is crossover. It's good, but it aint country and it aint rock and roll. It's just good music

I have to admit that I am starting to appreciate this country outlaw DAC. 👍🤠
Such a good fuckin song
Well, I was thumbin' from Montgomery
I had my guitar on my back
When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
He was dressed like 1950
Half drunk and hollow-eyed
He said, "It's a long walk to Nashville
Would you like a ride, son?"
And I sat down in the front seat, he turned on the radio
And them sad old songs comin' out of them speakers
Was solid country gold
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost-white pale
When he asked me for a light
And I knew there was something strange about this ride
He said, "Drifter, can ya make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
Then he cried just south of Nashville
And he turned that car around
He said, "This is where you get off, boy
'Cause I'm goin' back to Alabam'"
As I stepped out of that Cadillac
I said, "Mister, many thanks"
He said, "You don't have to call me Mister, Mister
The whole world called me Hank"
He said, "Drifter, can ya make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
He said, "Drifter, can ya make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
If you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride
You know you got a lot of competition out there
Now the sound, it ain't like it was in the '50s when I was here
And then you got Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson
You got Clarke and Billy Joe Shaver and David Allan Coe
And you even got my son
Warren Haynes on the lead guitar!
I was watching another video and thought to myself that looks like Warren Haynes! Had bo idea he played with dave
That’s classic country
I'm headed back to Alabam.
One of my heroes ! He still got it !!
Gone but never forgotten
He’s still alive but not performing.
I was gonna say, "Did I miss something?"
We were there, its been a long time.
Nice upload. Good live version.
Cannot wait for the next upload
Where does he find all these gems?
Mister!.
The boss is in the house!
Get Security, The Crowd's going off.
Half drunk and hollow-eyed
Az I'll always bee.
Dankz meny Tankz
Look at young Warren Haynes on guitar!! Not many people know he played with Coe.
Have you got any more DAC stuff? if so please upload it man
WHo is on bass ?
