These guys are great. Everynote they play is there for a reason. They never overplay. The balance, the tone, the melodies are just right. That's what wise artists do. They understand the song is what's important. Hats off.
Yes… after all … Steve Earle wrote the song …and his original version has sure inspired a lot of artists to cover it … still like it… will always like it…
I absolutely love this song,I'm going to bust my bollocks and teach myself to play the bloody thing. Good therapy for a long broken heart. I miss my Alison ❤️❤️
I cant say how much this song just speaks to me. I love all kinds of music, I'm always searching for that special vibe...this is one... Thanks Blackberry Smoke for being that ' sure thing I've found'
DID STEVE EARLE WRITE THIS SONG? DIDN'T THE BAND RECORD IT A LONG TIME AGO? I AM ALMOST 50 SO, BELIEVE IT OR NOT IT IS BEFORE MY TIME! BUT STEVE EARLE ISN'T AND I LISTEN TO HIM ALOT. I DIG THIS BAND AND I WAS JUST WONDERING
I feel Steve is the only one who can sing and play this song .. He has such feeling in both . .u can really feel his pain and struggles 💞 beautiful song Steve Earle
You hold on I've heard it ALL and I'm touched deeply inside the depths of my old rugged Heart ,i love you Charlie&Paul im blessed to have crossed paths
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE COMMENTS. I LOVE READING THEM AND KNOWING IM NOT ALONE FEELJNG THE MUSIC IS SOMEHOW 'NEW' YET AS OLD AS I AM GOING TO YOUTH JN GHE 60S AND 70S. SEEMS IM TRANSPORTED TO ANOTHER TIME WHEN I LISTEN. GOD BLESS THAT IS A POWERFUL THING TO MASTER WITHIN YOUR CRAFT!! MANY MANY 😊 THANKS
Outstanding Charlie. You never disappoint. I'm an old bastard who doesn't like much of anything anymore, but I sure do like your and the boys style and music. Keep it up my man.
Had to learn this one after hearing these guys do it, The best music definately comes out of the South! You guys rock! Beautiful mix of all the instruments, you compliment each other so well, Out f----ing standing!
These Men ,Musician's at the highest level of talent ...their open minded to music will for the rest of us many ,many years of outstanding music still to come watching and observing their Growth as Such high Class Musician's and down to earth demeanor...shoot for the stars Boys ....Please the world needs it more now than ever before....from an70yr. ol tx man ...love your music blessings with y'all always...jd
Just when every ray of hope was gone I should have known that you would come along I can't believe I ever doubted you My old friend the blues Another lonely night, a nameless town If sleep don't take me first, you'll come around 'Cause I know I can always count on you My old friend the blues Lovers leave and friends will let you down But you're the only sure thing that I've found No matter what I do I'll never lose My old friend the blues Just let me hide my weary heart in you My old friend the blues
I loved it since I heard it, but they tend to do their covers better than the originals. Go see them live. They really can play and sing. That feel they put into it ❤❤❤
Love these guys. Makes our long cold Canadian winters much easier to handle. Try out Matt Andersens version as well. He's an east coast blues master from up here. Thanks for the great tunes BBS.
+strawman8 Yep you hit the nail right on the head... Bud Morgan would rock this song I should send this to him for a listen .... havent been In contact with him for some time thanks my friend hugs Aussie :)

Lovers leave and friends will let you down....truer words never been written
AMEN BROTHER
Wow some cool young guys with great voices who actually play their instruments. A breath of fresh air!
I’ve heard many versions of this song before... and there’s no doubt about it for me... this is by far the best ever!
I do love Steve Earles version though.
Yes… after all … Steve Earle wrote the song …and his original version has sure inspired a lot of artists to cover it … still like it… will always like it…
I'll listen then

The fact that this doesn't have a million views proves to me that we're doomed.

The proclaimers sing a great version of this ! Just discovered Blackberry smoke and simply blown away with everything they do.

I feel Steve is the only one who can sing and play this song .. He has such feeling in both . .u can really feel his pain and struggles 💞 beautiful song Steve Earle
Totally agree! Steve's the only one who can do this song.🤩 Well, it is his song to begin with. 😉🤠
