Probably the most underated singer in Country Music History. Pure Country Gold, John Anderson. I remember watching this episode of Hee Haw with my Parents.. I was 10 or 11.
Well, he has been recognized. He had five number 1 singles and nominations for Song of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, and Album of the Year. The "country music establishment" largely regards John Anderson as one of the most talented and unique voices in the genre.
I seen John live back in about 94 at the Crazy Horse in orange county CA, a small venue it was like he was singing in my living room. Those were the day's
I just mentioned he started up in 2018 or so doing small personal venues like you are talking about. I'd love to go see the man. What a life has probably had!
I wish there was a country station around these parts that played oldies, THIS song is classic-classy and just plain awesome! More folks need to hear real music
Country music will die after this generation of singers. The only hope for country music is singers like Jeff Bates now. John hope you and Foggy and Lionel are relaxing... ya'll deserve it.
Not a very unique voice if you've heard interviews, but the fascinating thing is his innovative tone fluctuation, that wasn't popular at the time and its not recognized as much as it should be now due to damned autotune
I always liked John Anderson voice. He was very talented. good singer. my favorite song by him was. I just came home to count the memories. I keep thinking Elvis Presley would liked that song because he lived of memories a home he never forgot where he came from.
The 1980's was the last great era in country music - John Anderson, Ricky Skaggs, Lyle Lovett, Dwight Yoakam, George Strait. First time I heard Garth Brooks and saw how successful he was with that country-pop sound, I knew it was over. Practically everybody after Brooks does country-lite. But that golden period before country-music-for-people-who-don't-like-country-music took over was great while it lasted, and those guys that came out of that era still produce some terrific stuff.
gord brown I agree nowadays is a bunch of crap. I am young but I still know Good Country Music. Today I'm telling ya it has the same ole stuff in there. Plus it has some pop music aspects in it which kills it. I am not saying ALL is bad but 90% is bad. I might be a city slicker (wish I lived in the country) but I know good country music. I been listening to a little of Randy Travis lately.
one of a kind voice!!! this is the kind of country i have always loved and grew up listening to. I'm a 14 near 15 year old girl, but I miss this kind of country music!
Okay, I was born long after John Anderson was doin his stuff, but I wish this is what people still call country instead we are never ever ever getting back together and songs like that.
I may be in the falling star phase of my life, but it was a trip getting here. Not quite sure where I’m going to sleep tonight, but at least I have no place to go but up!
Sing a oldie song we love them the best this new stuff they try to give us these days ain't country the legends sure knew how to sing a song we miss them but John is a legend
Love this song..I have never made the big time but fully understand what he is saying .. looking for that one person that loved me as a star and falling star ..not sleeping on a hardwood floor. But my heart is still " broke "
I remember seeing John Anderson singing "Swingin" on HEE HAW in the early 80's I think it was thinking this guy is gonna definitely be a star someday. I don't normally listen to Country music. I just couldn't help thinking "this guy has one of the most distinctive voices I have ever heard". John's "inflections" I guess is what you would call it are just so incredible. I don't know of many musicians that have such a distinctive voice. I loved SEMINOLE WIND too!
This was country music when I was growing up I’m 45 riding around with my older brother listening to John Anderson at 14 greatest times ever!!! I miss those times so much you younger people wouldn’t know what these times was about!!!
You know, this song was written about Ferlin Husky who, years ago, did a song called, "A Fallen Star." I met Ferlin a few years ago and went to hear him sing at The Village Barn in Bradenton, Florida. Sure enough, he drove a little van, and we fans that turned out to hear him sing were few. Ferlin was a great entertainer in his day, and John Anderson still is great!!
Don't get much more real than that. Back when men were men and hair on their nuts. The boys today snap their fingers wear mascara and have no fuzz on their peaches.
I love this song so bad that it reminds me that there are actually people out there that actually want a relationship with you. Actually meet the person. So it beuld up. Bring you down
You know the crowd was very small for a country music show But he faked a curtain call just like it was years ago And then a lady grabbed his arm as he staggered down the aisle And with all his country charm he addressed her with a smile. Would you catch a fallen star before he crashes to the ground Don't you know how people are nobody loves you when you're down Pick me up and take me home and I'll bring my old guitar Sing a golden oldie song if you'll catch a fallen star. [ steel ] He had a silver plated bus and a million country fans Now there's just a few of us and he drives a little van And they were beatin' down his door the lovely women left and right And now he's on a hardwood floor a wonderin' where he'll spend the night Would you catch a fallen star before he crashes to the ground Don't you know how people are nobody loves you when you're down Pick me up and take me home and I'll bring my old guitar Sing a golden oldie song if you'll catch a fallen star Sing a golden country song if you'll catch a fallen star.
Back when country was country. Great tune by JA; crying shame you will never hear this on any so called country stations on the radio today; unless you have Sirius satellite radio and tune to a "classic" station.
Scott Burger here in the panhandle of Florida we have station that plays nothing but good solid older country . It's a great thing because today's country is nothing but pop and I can't stand it
In 84, my older brother and I were in Hephzibah, GA, at a little joint called the Rabbit Box South, and the guy singing that evening covered this song. I'll never forget that place.
I heard John does a local fishing program these days to pass the time. Sounds like a great carreer, make great music, then retire and fish through the later years.
Probably the most underated singer in Country Music History. Pure Country Gold, John Anderson. I remember watching this episode of Hee Haw with my Parents.. I was 10 or 11.
I agree !!!!. John said it right with the song for sure
Hi dad
@@macarthur7395 Hello Son😁
Coolest country voice for sure
All you newbys to Country Music, This is how its supposed to sound like -- THE REAL DEAL ---- Thanks for posting VVVVVVVVVVVery nice
That's a steel guitar. That's a fiddle. If you Newbys want to throw in a mandolin ok.
And that's soul and feeling and singing.... not talking or rapping or reading words into a microphone
YES!!!
Amen to that!!! 🙏❤
Absolutely 💯
True country. I love his voice.
When I think of True Country, I think of John Anderson! He's the Real Deal!

Good stuff. Old school John Anderson.
REAL COUNTRY. Back when country was country.
True great classic country music . John Anderson the last of the breed
you gave us some good music to live and remember with ,hey thanks John we love ya
Country music as it should be. So much talent! What a beautiful voice. Why has he never been recognized by the country music establishment?
SUNNY SAUNDERS John
SUNNY SAUNDERS shunshine

What is country music?? JOHN ANDERSON It just dosen't get any better then the voice of John Anderson.
My Mama’s favorite song 💜🙏🏼 she always sang and said it reminds her of a special guy she knew 😢 be Safe ✨
If you don't like this you have no business listening to music ever again...
Ha ha...yes, that's the truth.
I ❤ this song
True country at it's finest! John Anderson has a wonderful singing voice. Another great song by him is; "I just came home to count the memories".
I seen John live back in about 94 at the Crazy Horse in orange county CA, a small venue it was like he was singing in my living room. Those were the day's
I just mentioned he started up in 2018 or so doing small personal venues like you are talking about. I'd love to go see the man. What a life has probably had!

One of the most unique voices to ever hit the stage.
Not really a country music loving guy ,but this guy is great .
Not a very unique voice if you've heard interviews, but the fascinating thing is his innovative tone fluctuation, that wasn't popular at the time and its not recognized as much as it should be now due to damned autotune
I saw him in Danvaille VA in the summer of 2009 man did he jam the stage this cat is one of the best SING IT JOHN!!!!
Why can't they make true country music like this anymore??
Not enough just good ol country song writers anymore. They died with this classic country.
Sellouts like TH-cam
I am in luck, our country radio station plays all these oldies plus the new!! I do love this song and John Anderson is just plain great!!!!
John Anderson, from apopka Florida. Good music, love him.
Anderson always bringing something interesting to the genre. This guy is as genuine as it gets.
He was tearing up the charts back in the 80s & 90s ! 🇺🇸
Ain't it strange how we age and how good music can take you back in time just like we were still there?
This song is from that good ol days.
I always liked John Anderson voice. He was very talented. good singer. my favorite song by him was. I just came home to count the memories. I keep thinking Elvis Presley would liked that song because he lived of memories a home he never forgot where he came from.
Clayton Delaney
John is amazing. He's one of the last 'real' country mainstream artists. I really wish this sound would come back...
"Pop with a twang." That's what my son calls today's country. I'm not much of a country fan, but I am definitely a fan of John Anderson!
THE greatest vocals and lyricist in all Country music right there. Still loving you through 2020 ♥️ John!
And 2023

john Anderson was my mom's favorite singer. so when I listen to his music the memories come flooding back. Love you John for the memories
Ah, music to my ears. Finally, real country music, I love it!
What a shame you never hear this song on the radio. John Anderson really has enthusiasm like no other! look at the facial inspections he makes!
Yes he is a great artist from the day
Never got the game he deserves
They play it on a couple of the local country stations near me
@@stephenmeyers3936 that's awesome 👍
They still play this one on the smaller local stations.
As a Steel Guitar player we/I would play these three to four times a week.
I sure miss those days....and my youth....

It's not a slide guitar; it's a steel guitar.

Never heard of john Anderson, but I caught a song called Seminole Wind, and now I'm looking for more of his music. This one sounds good too.

“Years”
@@mikeouxma5061 Black sheep is the best.
Its a true song for John!!!! Seen him a few times in Michigan 1 time down in FLA

Don't you know how people are. No one loves you when you're down. They just run. Words so true.
Love it.. Always did and I smile when I hear John Anderson SING God Bless the man and his music 😊
oopsy 2022 here John

I just saw him at River Road Ice House GREAT SHOW been a fan for years YEE HAW!!!!
Very, very special Country voice. Real southern boy. He brings the proof. He my favorite.
Hey Jason Aldean Eric Church and the rest of the so call new country take notes this is real country music
This the real shit!
it's too late for them. just go back in time.
Don't get much more real than that. Back when men were men and hair on their nuts. The boys today snap their fingers wear mascara and have no fuzz on their peaches.
@@LittmanStethoscope amen! Brother 👌👍
John Anderson will always be a favorite
Now THIS is country music! With a traditional country band backing JA up.
I saw him in Gratna, La in the early 80's. He would do 3-4 shows there a year.
I wish he'd come back thru!
John Anderson could sing. And love that Steel Guitar. This is Country Music. The real thing.
I meet him in AZ ya another great talent great guy wish him the best / bandit
I love this song so bad that it reminds me that there are actually people out there that actually want a relationship with you. Actually meet the person. So it beuld up. Bring you down
You can sure say that again... I played through this era and it'll never be the same. Thank You so much.
Just seen him at a Benefit Concert last night. Still an Awesome Singer entertainer.
I love this song soooo mcuh. what a delivery this man has
You know the crowd was very small for a country music show
But he faked a curtain call just like it was years ago
And then a lady grabbed his arm as he staggered down the aisle
And with all his country charm he addressed her with a smile.
Would you catch a fallen star before he crashes to the ground
Don't you know how people are nobody loves you when you're down
Pick me up and take me home and I'll bring my old guitar
Sing a golden oldie song if you'll catch a fallen star.
[ steel ]
He had a silver plated bus and a million country fans
Now there's just a few of us and he drives a little van
And they were beatin' down his door the lovely women left and right
And now he's on a hardwood floor a wonderin' where he'll spend the night
Would you catch a fallen star before he crashes to the ground
Don't you know how people are nobody loves you when you're down
Pick me up and take me home and I'll bring my old guitar
Sing a golden oldie song if you'll catch a fallen star
Sing a golden country song if you'll catch a fallen star.
When I was a young man in Biloxi I heard John sing and it changed my whole musical life. My favorite memory.
Had his wild and blue release from
82’ playing on my way to and home from work today. 🤠
Still listening in 2022!
Country music at it's best!!!
Love these old songs brings back some meany memeres
Back when country was country. Great tune by JA; crying shame you will never hear this on any so called country stations on the radio today; unless you have Sirius satellite radio and tune to a "classic" station.
Scott Burger here in the panhandle of Florida we have station that plays nothing but good solid older country . It's a great thing because today's country is nothing but pop and I can't stand it
There are a few stations that play this stuff.
Here in central Colorado they play this one quite a bit on the local station.
In 84, my older brother and I were in Hephzibah, GA, at a little joint called the Rabbit Box South, and the guy singing that evening covered this song. I'll never forget that place.
wow im glad too see this song you made my day
Pure Country. The real deal.
Who's still listening to this real country music song in 2021
Love this music!!!
Outstanding job !!!
I heard John does a local fishing program these days to pass the time. Sounds like a great carreer, make great music, then retire and fish through the later years.
This song is in my juke box. Will never lose track of it. Love it!
Unforgettable voice!
John Anderson was a good ole boy with a great talent and voice.
Where is john today , what is he doing ??
