@@Nowhandles It does hurt. As a Texas singer/songwriter myself, Charlie and I have crossed paths, shared music bills the last 25 years or so. Had some laughs together, along with his musical family. Was heartbreaking, Charlie announcing back in 2016, that he'd have to retire from singing and performing. But, over time he refused to accept that. Went and saw him perform last spring, as he wanted to get back out there and at least try. He hadn't been in the best health, but it didn't seem like a dire situation. Sadly, we were wrong. So tough to lose these great artists, writers, performers that we have lately. Especially those who seemed to have more songs and music to give us.
@RebelDukeTX Condolences again friend. 😢 However, Charlie has brought you & I together. That's pretty cool, I'd like to listen to your catalog, if Charlie was on the same bill as yourself..it'd be an Honor to hear you. Thanks in advance.
I'm no Texan, I'm no American but I can feel the ethos carried by the song. I just simply love it and listen to it again and again. The more I listen, it become a masterpiece by itself.
Same here, Annie. I never tire of the simple, yet special accoustic sound of both Charlie and his brother, Bruce. Growing weary of the restraints of Nashville, Charlie left to join a smaller, more independent label. Creatively speaking it was a good move, judging by the quality of "My Hometown" and other masterpieces. By the way, you should give a listen to Bruce's obviously autobiographical "My Brother and Me," also available on TH-cam.
My dad worked with charlie on the pipe line abunch I met charlie wen I was 13 on a pipeline with my dad and he said he's was gona be famous and he pulled his guitar out of the welding truck and he pleated and should have seen them welders and helpers and bosses I'm from Texas but live in pa it sux up hear have a kid and fiancé and my dad just passed in January he was won of the best I herd from a lot of people I want to work on the pipe line again miss u daddy I love u 😢
12 years listening to Charlie. It was sad when he had to stop when his voice gave out, but this is permanent, final. RIP Charlie, Texas will not be the same without you.
RIP Charlie Robison, you will be missed by all of us who loved your tunes. I promise to play your songs at every show I do. Hope to do you justice good sir.
I am 61 now. I grew up in a little Texas town. Everyone knew everyone else. You played football, baseball, together. We hunted, fished, and survived a lot of foolish, dangerous decisions together. We drank our first beers together. That word together is a bonding word. Experiences shared create those bonds. Friendships from those times have endured to right now. Sure, everyone goes here and there and beyond. I did 28yrs in the military and ran around the globe. To this day, I can call all of those guys and we pick right back up where we left off talking last time. I am a 7th generation Texan and proud to be one. We have real values and standards and know what a friend is all about and each of us would lay down their life for the other, that I know.
Born and raised in a small town in the panhandle of North Florida and I've traveled all over this great country talk to many people and they always ask me if I'm from Texas when they hear my accent😂 go figure
The number hours I've logged driving around listening to Charlie Robison over the past 20+ years are many... While the song's My Hometown & El Cerrito Place are the tunes he's best known for, it's his other music that always impacted me the most. RIP Charlie... I'll be giving my top 20 a listen over the next 24. 1. Always 2. Tonight (Live version on 2002 LIVE Album ) 3. Out of these Blues 4. Loving County 5. Sunset Boulevard 6. Desperate Times 7. My Hometown 8. Monte Carlo 9. Photograph 10. Brand New Me 11. New Year's Day 12. The Bottom 13. Big City Blues 14. Your Not The Best 15. John O'Reilly 16. The Wedding Song 17.

Rip Charlie say hello to my family up in heaven i miss them everyday. My grandparents and his family where close friends my dad went to school with him
RIP Charlie. You were one of the first Texas artists that I saw while in Austin. You've made your mark and will not be forgotten. Love, a Proud Native Texan 🙏💗
You will be missed around my home town, Helotes Texas, Floores country store, Lester Krugers country club, the list goes on RIP Mr Robinson ,ill even think about when here the Dixie Chicks
This is my first time hearing this song. I am a native Texan but no longer live there. This video shows many things I love and remember about the great state of Texas. This man was gifted and handsome! RIP.
Dam i was told i went to school with him here in bandera tx but i believe he was in a higher grade my memory is bad i even talked to him on Facebook but well always remember you man in our home town rip brother .
so true, spent my entire childhood wanting to get as far away from my tiny little home town as I could. Took a job in Los Angeles right out of college, but 22 years later I retired to that same little small Texas town.
Man it Took me 26 years to get out of that damn town... I miss it now days.. growing up with them ole back roads and cotton fields! Now I have a wife and two kids 2890 miles away!! I'll definitely take my family to visit my Hometown 💪🏻
Charlie your voice might be taken from you but your music will live forever I hope you're doing well and thank you for the good music that you shared with us
RIP to a bonafide, certified, country music legend. With confidence I say, there will never be another Charlie Robison. Enjoyed by millions, these songs are timeless and capture moments in American and Texas history for eternity. I’ll see ya in Heaven, if I ever get out that way.
This song just drips of TX, and southern attitude…..or at least TX attitude. Love Charlie and his songs, wish your voice wasn’t taken from you, your songs are the soundtrack of my life almost!
What a huge loss we had in loosing Charlie .. He will never be forgotten... This music matchs this video perfectly... It is a true work of American Art.. RIP Charlie.. Thank you for Your Contributions..
It's happened again. I discover a great musical talent but then they're gone. A few years ago it was John Prine, now it's Charlie Robison. My really bad luck but good luck too that I did at least discover them.
@@charlierobison1375 -- Hope you're doing well. Been a follower since watching you on the "Imus" video side aired on FOX Busines Channel. Thanks for doing it your way.
Heard this song for the first time many covered by a guy in key west and said it was by Charlie Robison. Sought out Charlie’s music on Spotify and was a fan ever since. Peace of the Lord be with you Charlie.
Charlie’s music was the music I learned to dance to with the girl next door growing up. Thanks for the memories Charlie, you will be missed but not forgotten.
RIP Charlie . From one Texan to another...we're gonna miss ya. But like the old west sayin says...The best thing to do with death is to ride away from it.
Rip ol"Charlie Robinson. This..actually brought a tear to my eye and im a man who can take a stabing and laugh. I grew up listening to him here in Houston his home town (NW Houston , Cypress 290) in the 90s and early 2000s( barlight, my Home town plus many more), along side texan native Pat Green ("wave on wave" for reference). I used to go to a opry up north of Tomball (249) in Magnolia texas that he and Clint Black used to go to and sing at called the Magnolia Opey (now closed down and I miss the place even the moldy smelling carpet), funny enough when I was a kid going to that opry my grandfather used to play there and him and Clint Black would practice together, something even though I went there didn't know about until many years later. Now Charlie is dead, Pat is retired, Clint is retired and my grandfather is retired, its hell getting old. Hopefully Charlie can find the next barlight above.
RIP, brother Charlie. You certainly made your mark as a Texas singer/songwriter, and will never be forgotten.
Damn...buffet, smashmouth guy....and then Charlie? All in three's...really didn't see Charlie on the scope.
This hurts. 😢

Texas🤘🏻🤘🏻…it’s a whole ‘nother country!
I'm Texan. It's not ethos, it's alcohol. LoL. A man with emotion is a woman.
If you can feel it, you gotta be from Alabama. Our kind of music and musician, and writer.
I'm part of the video! Raised in Bandera Texas where this filmed was made
Miss my hometown of Bandera ,Tx
Just heard he passed 4 months ago in San Antone. Couldn’t believe it, he had albums of great stuff. Deserved more media coverage that’s for damn sure.
I want to live back in Texas again....I miss it...bad
Then come back😂😂

He got his voice back in heaven today. September 10, 2023 He will be missed down here.

As a Texan I feel this song to my bones. Oil and gas is our blood
RIP Charlie, you gave a lot of people an amazing experience if they were lucky enough to be in the room when you sang. Texas Bad ass !
RIP Charlie I'll see you around in Heaven someday.
When you grow up here, all you want to do is get away. Until you do, and you realize this is the best place on earth.
True That!
so true, spent my entire childhood wanting to get as far away from my tiny little home town as I could. Took a job in Los Angeles right out of college, but 22 years later I retired to that same little small Texas town.
Hamilton County no doubt
Similar to sentiments expressed by Mac Davis, "LUBBOCK IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR"
Man it Took me 26 years to get out of that damn town... I miss it now days.. growing up with them ole back roads and cotton fields! Now I have a wife and two kids 2890 miles away!! I'll definitely take my family to visit my Hometown 💪🏻
