I have a tendency to forget how much I enjoy hearing Mel Tillis sing... I accidentally heard Coca Cola Cowboy the other day & added it to a playlist & I can't quit listening to it. If Mel Tillis is NOT in the Country Music Hall Of Fame, He Should Be!
Yes he should that was my favorite song growing up Co Ca Cola Cowboy the lines and lyrics don't get any better than this in country music in my opinion its not this good today
You can't get no better than this for real country. Mel Tillis he's got that country classic down to a tee. I always thought when I seen him in movies Daddy had a stuttering problem all these years I just happen to to see him on dukes of Hazzard and he had a real bad stuttering problem so I just was listening to an interview and he wasn't stuttering at all but he did say he had a slight stuttering issue but I didn't hear it. So that was probably just an act part of his acting was a stuttering he had a little stuttering issue when he was younger and he went with it now you don't have it at least I didn't hear it in the last two interviews talk normal better than me LOL
I absolutely agree this was a favorite song of mine growing up as a young girl I would get so excited every time this song came on the radio and I memorized it word for word I absolutely loved Mel Tellis my parents liked Mel Tellis and playedhis records I absolutely loved this song and knew it by heart I miss Mel Tellis voice true country at its best no country today can compare to that song ❤
From the BEST country & Western song - - - 🎶 🎶 I was drunk the day my Mom got out of prison I went to pick her up in the rain🌧 But before I could get to the station in my pick up truck, 🛻 She got run over by a damned old train....🚉 So I'll hang around as long as you will let me 🎶🎶🎶 And I never minded standing in the rain...🎶 But you don't have to call me darlin, darlin You never even called me by my name.....🎶
A classic Mel Tillis song! You know, in my opinion, the 80's and 90's we're the two best decades for country music, but this 1979 gem by Mel Tillis is one of my favorites. Mel Tillis had one of the best voices in country music. Not to mention, handsome looks and a smile that wouldn't quit! He seemed like such a nice guy. Country music won't be the same without Mel Tillis. He will be missed.
when we take back the FCC... after we give the trump-nazi's the boot.. we will kick the corporations off the ownership of almost every radio station in the country.. and when those go local again.... thenyou will start hearing some REAL music !
@@captlarry-3525 the 'trump nazis' are the ones being attacked by the FCC here in St Louis they just shut down our 2 best stations for thought crimes basically 1190 and 1430 just because one guy dared to speak the truth of what was happening in southern Illinois
The line, ‘You walked across my heart like it was Texas’ has been stuck in my mind for decades but I never knew what song it was from or who sang it. I stumbled across this video today and it absolutely made my day.
I met him in Oklahoma in the Eighties! My then husband did security for concerts. I got to visit with him 😊 Nicer man you wouldn’t want to miss meeting! He played this song for me.
I first heard this on a 8-track (remember those) back in the late 70s. My uncle had it in his pick-up. Later my Dad bought it too & also on vinyl. Miss you Mel. Good music lives forever!!😀👍🎸🎸🎼🎵
Back in 70's..I listened to this and Mel Tillis was hot..a legend on that guitar and band was fantastic..those were the good ole days..a great vocalist..miss those days and night of Mel Tillis
Yes, we don't miss anything until it is gone, it took me until the last few years , seeing that I could not do many things I once could, knowing that many of my friends and parents and the music is gone, and when we had much more freedom and our dollar was smaller but bought more, to realize how much I miss these!
Pedal steel is sooooooo killllllerrrrr... I'm a beginner and figuring it all out by ear.. totally obsessed....on my mind every single day. Been playing traditional rock guitar 50 years. I vow to myself to be fluent enough to gig on pedal steel, God willing ❤🙏
I'm 32.. I have an interesting memory of this song. There was a short period when I was a little kid where my dad worked for Coca-Cola, making deliveries and filling machines. During that time, they used to fill the pop machines with a few lucky Dr. Pepper bottles that had a t-shirt and money in it, and my dad would bring a few home. And during that time, he came home saying that he called in and requested a song on the local radio station and that it would be airing on the radio at a certain time. So we stayed outside and listened to the radio in the car and heard my dad request this song, and of course listened to the song. I already knew and loved the song, but thought it was really cool that my dad was on the radio.
My wife and I got the biggest laugh off of this song the other night. I'm pretty knowledgeable about my music and I'm always quizzing her about songs. This one came on the radio and knowing it was Mel Tillis I asked her who sings it. Her response was, "That's old what's his name". LOL
Good Ole Mel.This is the last song I heard him write n sing. He told a story that when he'd baby sit his daughters Pam Tellis.Hed put her in his guitar case to nap lol.
Love this song! I love the Eastwood movie from all these songs come from! I used to go to the Palamino club. It’s in everywhich way but loose. Answer me this…… what the hell did Clint see in Sandra ? What a homely ass women!! Wow!
A #1 hit for Mel Tillis on the Country & Western charts. It was the 477th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era. I have never seen Mel in person, but I saw his daughter, Pam, in February 1996 at the Greenwood Civic Center in SC. Collin Raye and Jeff Carson opened.
When it comes to crooning about Coca cola cowboys, Mel Tillis is The Real Thing!He's crisp, refreshing, and he ain't nothin artificial! Have a Mel and a smile!!!Hell, he may even teach YOUR WORLD to sing!!!
Thank you very much, AwesomeRedneckBoy, for uploading this song sung by Mel Tellis so that I can listen to it again because it definitely does bring back plenty of fond memories of when I was much younger. Please think positive daily. ™
When I was a wee lad, growing up in western Pa, and my mom would drag me to county fairs listening to country artists, in my wranglers, a blazer, and a Stetson, the older group would call me a coca~cola cowboy🤣
Lonnie Melvin Tillis ( August 8, 1932- November 19, 2017) Although he recorded songs since the late 1950s, his biggest success occurred in the 1970s as part of the outlaw country movement, with a long list of Top 10 hits......from Fort Worth, Texas. Great memories. RIP.

Still remember my late grandpa use take me with him to place I was first child buy bottles pop. Back then was .25 bottle. Back early 70s. Old classic machine only bottles
For some reason, this song popped into my head as I woke up this morning. I listen to many genres if music and this one never gets old.who else is listening in 2021?
In mid 2015, I was in sitting in a chair wearing a cowboy hat, listening to music while chain smoking and waiting until it was late enough to leave for work. I opened a coke, and the moment I opened it, this song came on. Forever burned into my memory.
This song ROCKS. Always has. Mel wasn't just a great singer, what a great songwriter too.
this is pure country music RIP MEL TILLS your biggest 23 year old south african fan

I was drunk the day my Mom got out of prison
I went to pick her up in the rain🌧
But before I could get to the station in my pick up truck, 🛻
She got run over by a damned old train....🚉
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me 🎶🎶🎶
And I never minded standing in the rain...🎶
But you don't have to call me darlin, darlin
You never even called me by my name.....🎶

Uh huh. I disagree with the best CW music being from the 90's, but there were some nice songs. In my opinion the 60's and 70's were best.

You both are correct!😎

Anything before the late nineties
I really miss the old country music. These radio stations need to bring these back. All I love is these.
I'm going to 5 5
in my state they played this on one of my radio stations and my grandpa said this is what you are😂😂
in Houston they have 97.1 FM. plays good old country music tho I guess some 90's is considered older or classic now to
when we take back the FCC... after we give the trump-nazi's the boot.. we will kick the corporations off the ownership of almost every radio station in the country.. and when those go local again.... thenyou will start hearing some REAL music !
