Willie always one of my favorite guitarists. He plays it so differently.
Another great song like this is El Paso from Marty Robbins
The whole trilogy with Feleena (part 2) and El Paso City (part 3)
Rose's Cantina. Felina. The whole story telling and how he sings it, it puts you there seeing and feeling it all.
Also Big Iron
Almost ANY Marty Robbins song
I've been listening to these reactions for a couple weeks now. One of the first songs I thought of for him to review was El Paso. The storytelling would reaction would be fun to see.
Thanks dude. You are really hitting the 70s 80s gold mine. Luckenbach Texas is worth checking out with Waylon and Willie. Merles Okie from Muskokee is also a great song
Thanks, always loved their voices in this one
Awesome! One of my requests getting done!! Let's gooooooo!
❤❤ I have requested this at least 3 times. Finally 😁 I m excited.
Willie turned 91 yesterday (April 29th). He's on the road again and I saw him in concert on the 24th. The writer, Townes Van Zandt was the federale in the brown uni and the guy with the guitar in white at the end. 💚🤙🏼
My sons bought me tickets to see Willie, Bob Dylan and John Mellencamp’s Outlaw tour in Pittsburgh in September. I have seen Willie live several times over the years, and it’s always a great show. This is probably the only time I have wished Autumn would hurry up and it’s barely Spring!
Townes was sitting at the table in front of Willie and Merle. He is also a federal holding a white horse as Lefty rides out, pausing at the top of the hill.
When I read "On the road again," my brain registered it in Willie's voice 😂
Dang 91. I might have to start smoking weed
Written by Townes Van Zant. He has a few cameos in the video. I think we can infer that Lefty betrayed Pancho and that the Federalis had little luck apprehending the old outlaw until then, despite their claim that "they could have had him any day". Yes, "Lefty split for Ohio", but I think we know "where he got the bread to go".
He's playing guitar in the restaurant and singing during the last chorus. Hell of a songwriter.
I like Towns version just fine ,but I think Willie did it better
Willie does some great covers and a lot of times IMHO makes the song better
Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain. ...song written by songwriter Fred Rose. First recorded by Elton Britt in 1946
City of New Orleans. ... The title track was written and originally recorded by Steve Goodman; his version was released in 1971. The next year, Arlo Guthrie became the first to have a hit with the song
Summertime. ...Written in 1934, 'Summertime' was one of the first compositions George Gershwin
Georgia On My Mind. ..."Georgia on My Mind" is a 1930 song written by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell and first recorded that same year by Hoagy Carmichael
If You've Got the Money I've Got the Time...."If You've Got the Money (I've Got the Time)" is a debut song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Lefty Frizzell,
The Townes story is such a crazy heartbreaker. Worth a watch if you haven't seen it.
@@jmc5876 He also appears as a Federali.
❤️❤️💜❤️💜🔥🔥🔥🔥
i love this song please do Waylon Jennings ft Hank Williams JR the Conversation
if he does it needs to be audio only anymore the video seems to get blocked
Willie co founder of Outlaw Country. Merle poet of the common man.
Don't sleep on David Allen Coe.
Don't sleep on the writer of the song
@@D.R.Z. shout out to Townes Van Zandt
Merle Haggard was in Folsom Prison when Johnny Cash came to Folsom Prison to give his fellas a concert. Changed Merle Haggard's life he wrote some songs when he got of prison he , I believe sent a letter to Johnny Cash. Taped his music and his life began a legendary musician
Johnny Cash was an angel..
Sing me back home. Merle’s song will bring you tears.
Never be another Hag.
R.I.P. Merle. 💔♥️
Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers is a must, it's such a powerful and emotional song
Love this song, "Beer for my Horses" with Willie and Toby Keith is a good one.
The dust that Pancho bit down south ended up in Lefty's mouth...Great line!💜☮
Willie Nelson is 93 years old and still writing songs and playing music with his sons! He's also indian descendant and was raised by his grandmother whi I think was full blooded indian. I can't remember what tribe,but I read his bio years ago.❤
I was just going to say the same thing! ❤️ I also read his bio ad yes his grandmother was full blood Indian that raised him and his sister. I also can't remember what tribe she was from because it's been over 25 years since I read it maybe longer. But he grew up rough but started writing songs as a youngster.
Good is good. Country, rock, jazz, blues. If you’re good you’re good. Willie and Merle are and were great.
Merle Haggard “The Hag” is a Must Discover Rabbit Hole!!!
Pancho &Lefty was written by Townes Van Zandt. Townes was a "tortured artist" who died incredibly young from drug addiction and alcoholism. His songs are known for the vivid imagary and his songs have been recorded by literally EVERYONE - Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Emmy Lou Harris, Bob Dylan, Counting Crows and hundreds more.
Never paid much attention to this one, always thought it was referencing Pancho Villa.
Love Townes!! ❤
And Townes is in the video… guy with black straight hair, appears a few times and with the guitar at the table towards the end
check out Who Do You Love written by Townes but the George Thorogood cover is my favorite, this will give an excellent example of how he reached so far into musical styles with his writing
I love your reactions! From Merle and Willie to Pink Floyd and Led Zepp….you’re pretty awesome! It’s great seeing someone enjoying the music I grew up on. This song in particular is one of my favorites. It reminds me of listening to records at my grandparents’ house as a kid in East Texas. It always gets me in my feelings ✌🏻💕
If you go shopping again for the Clint Eastwood, don't forget that it's a trilogy that tells the whole story. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, Fistful of Dollars, and A Few Dollars More.
My paternal Grandfather was with the US Army when the chased Pancho Villa in 1916. So I understand. My grandfather passed in1985 at 88 years old.
That's some family history.
That's a cool family story....
That's awesome, my great grandfather hid my grandmother when pancho villa's men rode through town in jalisco
One of my favorite songs of all time!
"He wore his gun outside his pants / for all the honest world to feel" and "The dust that Pancho bit down south / Ended up in Lefty's mouth" are two the greatest lines ever written.
horse as fast as polished steel always got me.
Merle Haggard was one of the best to ever do it.
Merle haggard and Willie Nelson are one of the greatest of all time.
Willy has an unmistakable voice even if youve never heard the song you know who’s singing
One of my favorite Willie songs;
“Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground”
It’s one that I believe sets him apart as an artist. Willie is country with a nod to the distinctive rhythm that defines jazz phrasing and lyrical timing, mixed with great story telling. He’s a “musician’s musician”… totally timeless.
There’s a podcast which is produced by a “Texas Monthly”, called “One by Willie”. Each week, a notable music artist will reveal their favorite Willie song, and why it has made the impression on them which it has. The artists who have contributed to the podcast represent a wide range of genre, and of course with them all being musicians (with the exception of one or two, I believe), you’re provided an insight which gives you a better understanding of all the different facets that - when brought together in certain ways - create *great music*. Just a sampling of the guest line up; Ray Wylie Hubbard (country music legend), Ray Benson (Asleep at the Wheel), Whoopi Goldberg, Lyle Lovett, Winona Judd, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Norah Jones, Ethan Hawk,…..
I really recommend giving it a try.
You need to listen to mama tired, Merle Haggard.
Yes mama tried😮
Tried
I USED TO sing that around the house to my son. MAMA TRIED.
Definitely
Merle is my favorite EVER. I wish they’d make a movie about his life. ❤Hag fan for life!❤
When Willie had Merle over to hang out. They were drinking and Willie talked Merle into playing on this.
Merle woke up the next day not quite remembering if it happened and asked Willie. Willie said they had recorded a song.
Merle said that "We should try again. I think i can do better." But Willie told him it was already on the way to Nashville.
😂
I have probably commented previously. 2 things to check out: 1. Merle Haggard Same Train--A Different Time; a salute and practical introduction to Jimmie Rodgers, a double vinyl or single cd (with great liner notes). AND 2--A Tribute To The World's Best Damn Fiddle Player (or My Salute To Bob Wills), also with great liner notes. Jimmie Rodgers is called "The Father Of Country Music" and Bob Wills "The King of Western Swing" both genres (I hate to use that term) are born from folk and blues traditions, and both are foundations for Big Band, Jazz, Rock, "British Blues", and more. Music sort of pays it forward without losing all of its past.
Merle Haggard was on an episode of The waltons he was accomplished actor as well
Two legends singing a perfect song, damn this makes you want to go back in time
You should hear Emmylou Harris' version of this old song. It would bring tears to your eyes.
I actually geek-girled out when you said you shop for antiques...love it! Fantastic reaction.
How can you be a Western kid and not know this?? I've been singing this forever, man!! ( I'm yer neighbor in New Mexico!) Some songs are essential. This is one. ❤😊😊
Reba " that's the night the lights went out in Georgia " another good story telling song. Love and light to all
Johnny Paycheck, The Only Hell My Mama Ever Raised !! Country at its finest !!
Yes, one of my all time favorite country songs! I think he'd love that one (and Merle's "Mama Tried") along with "Take this Job and Shove It" (and Johnny Cash "Oney")
No doubt!
If you're taking Johnny Paycheck, you have to check out "Take This Job & Shove it."
One of my favorite songs of all time. I still remember the first time I saw this music video, at a movie theater before the film. It obviously made an impact on me that I can remember that after all these years. Great to see you embracing country music - or should I say Traditional country music - which is timeless.
Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain should be your next Willie song.
Absolute history in a song. Classic by Townes Van Zandt. Love your channel
You want good storytelling? The entire album Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
THe movie too.
Then Marty Stuart's "The Pilgrim".
Ah yes. Great album. All the soft places to fall, reasons to quit, and pancho and lefty are my favs off this album.
Merle is my favorite country artist, Merle & Willie is unbelievable.
One of my favorite songs. And by two of the best country artists ever.
Merle was my Dad’s favorite. He passed when I was 27. Wasn’t around for my wedding. Didn’t get to meet his granddaughter. But when I hear Merle, it feels like my Dad is around.
Willie's Red Headed Stranger is fantastic, both the song and the movie.
Willie has a complete album of duets called Half Nelson.
Need to check out Willie and Merle singing "It's all Going to Pot". I really enjoy your newfound appreciation for Country and Rock. You have opened this 69-year-old white dude to Hip Hop and Rap, and for that I am grateful.
Always loved the song. The video is killer 😊
Slick Rick! Hey Young World and of course Bedtime Story. Bumped that in my Mustang in the 80's. Great shout out. This song is also fire. The 70's were awesome. Loved this song as a kid.
Originally written and composed by Townes Van Zant. Recorded by others including Emmy Lou Harrison
Emmylou Harris
I love country music and I like Willie Nelson and Meryl Haggard. Country music has a great storytelling music. Thank you for playing this song and l like your reactions on this song. 😊😊😊
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly is still my favorite movie of all time. It's a must see! Also "Branded Man" is my favorite Merle Haggard song.
So many great songs from this era of country..
Definitely get a dvd of The Good, the bad and the ugly movie. I saw it at the drive in when it first came out. It was such a hit
Love Merle and Willie can harmonize with anyone. ❤❤
The greatest country song ever
I'm so glad you picked this duo. It's one of my favorite duo's and Willie can't be beat !
I really have enjoyed watching you hear the poetry of classic Country. One of my favorite classic Country songs is That's My Job by Conway Twitty.
“If I can find a clean shirt” is a funny video of the same category with Waylon and Willie!
I feel ya there brotha. I throw on American pickers (absolutely great in my opinion) and the antique store downtown is non stop calling in my head😂
This more of a Willie song featuring Merle.....Merle is the King
According to the old legends Pancho and Lefty were actual people. I loved the song for that...
Thanks for being here with a great tune and reaction BP.
The Leaser of the Official Opposition party in Canada was kicked out of Parliment today for telling the TRUTH.
I'm absolutely IRATE! i needed you this afternoon bro for a great tune and likely a chuckle or two.
Now.. unpause and off to the reaction 😀
Nice call Peg!!!
I believe this is what you call outlaw country. As an old metal head, this song is awesome!!
Love this song...Was on our playlist for our road trips...along with Bob Seger...Jackson Brown....💛
This song is history bro thanks brp
There chords and the truth. Welcome to country music. Great job!
The first line of Merle Haggards working man blues hits hard too...
Townes van Zandt is a rabbit hole worth going down - another of his much-covered songs is "Waiting Around To Die"
There's a story that Townes was pulled over by two highway patrolmen and they asked what he did. He told them he was a musician and a songwriter and they asked if he'd written anything they'd have heard of. He said "Pancho and Lefty" and they burst out laughing as that was the nicknames they had from the other cops. They let him off.
This song always makes me cry. I’ve heard it all my life and I still tear up every single time. This song is like an old friend to me.
This is one of my all time favorite songs.
Love Willie’s voice! He is legendary! Thanks BP!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Merle Haggard was My late father's all time favorite singer. Emmylou Harris is mine. We both loved Willie. We had many good natured debates over who did the best cover of this genius song.
I thought he saw him at San Quentin
Country music is filled with stories.
Another good one with Clint Eastwood is, "Hang Em High". Loved them all. Deme in Bama😊
5:22 I remember going with my mom to Tower Records in Walnut Creek in like 1984 to get this cassette ❤
Love Willie and Merle. Please consider listening to Glen Campbell and Roy Clark's instrumental duet of "Ghost Riders in the Sky," They play off each other so well - matching note for note in some places, and then each doing their own bit. Not a long video but fire all the way.
At your convenience, be sure to feature " Lukenbach TEXAS with Willie and Waylon.
It's always easy to ride a great story about something that really happened not easy but easier thanks again for praying this song
One of my all time favorite songs !
Unforgiven with Clint is a more modern movie that has an old western pace and feel to it. It's top 5 all time IMHO
Bunch of legends at that diner table
What has already struck me is the line is at the beginning "he wasn't his mother's only son" which I've always interpreted to mean they were brothers, one an outlaw and the other working for the law.
A guy named Townes Van Zandt wrote that song. I' love to see you react to the original, or better yet, I'd love to see your reaction to the Townes Van Zandt song, "Waiting Around to Die." It will bring tears to your eyes.
LOVE THIS SONG!!!
Some Merle classics you gotta listen to are
mama tried
Sing me back home
The fightin side of me
Oke from muskogee
Silver wings
Big city
Thanks for playing this.
I loved Slick Rick back in high school.
@Black Pegasus we are kindred spirits. My oldest and most played Spotify playlist is called “Storytellers” and this is song #1 on that playlist .
One of my favorite songs ❤️❤️
Country music has been called 3 chords and the truth. Most effectively told through stories - mini movies - these songs resonate for a lifetime and beyond. Worth a deep dive into the classic country stars more than the pop oriented current offerings. Dolly, Loretta, Willie, Kris, Waylon. So many others who paved the way with some of the best music ever created.
One of my favorite songs . Listened to this traveling across England .
Great reaction and legendary songwriter. More of Merle please. You can't go wrong. Any Clint movie is great, but The Good Bad and Ugly is one of the best.. The Outlaw Josie Wells may be as good
Love to see those that start expanding their musical knowledge and exposure. All music has something to offer, you just have to open yourself to it. You won't like everything, but you'll surprise yourself at what you will like.
So, country music is full of story telling and there are some great songs that do so:
George Jones - He stopped loving her today
Conway Twitty - Hello darling
Reba McIntyre - Fancy
Vern Gosdin - Chiseled in stone
Jeannie C. Riley - Harper valley PTA
Kenny Rogers - Coward of the county
I could do this all day lol
Coward of the county not only is a song but is also a movie here on TH-cam.
Speaking of Kenny Rogers at the end. “Love will turn you around” will give you goosebumps.
