Nice reaction. A few other Story songs you need to at least listen to are : Alabama's - Angels Among Us : Randy Travis - The Box , Garth Brooks The RIver and to end it here : George ( King ) Strait - Ace in the Hole

This is at the Canadian Juno Awards show. She received a standing ovation from her peers.

I I absolutely agree with everything you said and felt! She is a singular talent in this world.

You do have to be careful with lists nowadays. Sometimes fact checkers are asleep at the wheel, or just not present to begin with. WatchMojo is particularly bad about compiling some really weird entries on lists, like including the Dixie Chicks on a list of the most influential Country artists, completely ignoring that no one likes them and that they've effectively been boycotted by the country fan base, for things like their feud with Toby Keith (who was excluded from the list).

Its about missing your youth because when you are living it you don't relaize how speicial it is until it's long gone like your High School years

You need to see the video

I would bet Hank Williams had more drugs in his brief case in the fifties than damn near anyone today. Uppers and downers were everywhere,.

This is blues.

This is the best live version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3fTknuDpt9jpK8si=v1yDFB6pMkC4Hj-J

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6TMnHuhbpWbjtk KD Lang singing "Hallelujah" at the 2010 Toronto Olympics! Outstanding!!

Try Jo Dee Messina’s My Give a Damn’s Busted

You should watch her performance of this at the Vancouver Olympics

A daughter? You better spend every free moment with her that you can. You know why? Cause your gonna miss this. And that is the crux of country music. Three chords and the truth.

Late 70's ,much earlier than you thought .

These were different times. I remember back in the mid 70's, apparently there was a woman in our town that had cast greedy eyes on my dad. My sweet saintly mother went to her house, drug her out in the from yard and proceeded to beat the h*ll out of her. The cops were called to break up the fight. When the cops got the story out of the two ladies, they looked at the "other woman" and advised her to leave this woman's husband alone if she didn't want this to happen again. Mom was forced to leave with a ticket and $15 fine. She said it was the best money she ever spent.

At the end of the song he says " sometimes you have to fight when YOU'RE A MAN. Not sometimes you have to fight to be a man. There is a big difference in those words if you are paying attention closely.

Gee, am I in a parallel universe? I love KD Lang. She is great with an amazing voice. But in what universe is she considered country? I love Leanord Cohen. Like most people I love Hallelujah. But, tell me, exactly In what universe is that song considered country? Not the one I live in, for sure. The rest of you can live in whatever universe you want. In fact, I encourage you to do so. I'll stay in mine. Why don't y'all just stay out of mine? Thank you very much.

Ray Steven's is hilarious! Mississippi squirrel is a classic!...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠

Worst resction to a classic of any genre.

My parents were lucky enough to see Charley Crockett open for Chris Stapleton. I will forever be jealous

Waylon was excellent on the guitar and the drums are played by Richie Albright. It was the Waylon signature hard driving sound

React to no Burhnam country

Bonnie Raitt's version, please!

6? Are you poopin' me? I was hoping you had some taste Whitey!

In The Coward of the County made for TV movie, I think his dad was a brawler & got into a bar fight & accidently killed the guy he was brawling with. The Gatlin Bros were the spoiled rich kids who bullied everyone in the town because their dad/family were rich/powerful & they could get away with being A-holes. Also, I think one of them wanted Becky, but she only had eyes for Tommy & that's why he and his brothers went over & forced themselves on her...

His rap career im not a fan of but i feel blessed that he is country

Weirdo....

The Lacs COUNTRY ROAD, Montgomery Gentry SPEED, DADDY WON'T SELL THE FARM, Miranda's WHITE LIAR video might be the best of all time.

Merle hooked me, HIS EPIC 11.

I loved your aanalysis. Might I recommend hearing K D Lang sing Roy Orbison's "Crying"? It will blow your mind!

How the hell can a persON / go to work in the mornIN' / come home in the evenIN' / and have nothin' to say. Person, mornin' & evenin' are near rhymes with the rhyme is on the last syllable of these 3 lines. Nothin' also follows the rhyme pattern even though it falls in the middle of the line.

You and I had the same reaction brother. Great content

Agree, 100%!!

I'm not an expert, but I really love Kristofferson's 'The Silver Tongued Devil and I'! You should try that one, I think. Of course, this one was a song he got Johnny Cash to do, so most will know JC's version best. And JC kept the very controversial words for his TV version!

*recovering* country hater

She sang Crying with Roy Orbison. It was one of his most famous songs.

If you want a taste of her "cow punk" era, watch her first (I think) trip to The Tonight Show w/ Johnny Carson. In Care of the Blues, is just terrific! I don't know if Tonight Show performances get allowed as reactions, but watch it anyway.

Only in canada could i win best male vocalist....

the man who CHANGED country music!!!! He started the outlaw movement!!!! He had the 1st million selling album!!! He is a legend & an icon & a very distinctive guitar player with that running line!!!!!!! I still listen to him even now at 75!!!! He was Buddy Holly's bass player & yes he gave his seat up to the Big Bopper that night that the music died!!!

you should watch it when she sang this at the closing video of the 2010 olympics in Vancouver…it’s something else

A songwriters songwriter.

If you loved this rendition of Hallelujah by KD Lang, she also performed the same song at the Vancouver winter olympics and it will blow your mind. Check it out!!

I only heard him when I came across a tribute to him on Stephen Colberts late show the day after he died from covid. It was Brandie Carlisle singing Hello in there. We were all in lockdown and the song hit me so hard I cried. Since then I've become a huge fan of his songs that span funny to tragic. If you can't appreciate his lyrics I don't know what you would appreciate. This from a huge Led Zeppelin fan. You need to check out hello in there Sam Stone and Summers end.

Kris himself admits he's a better songwriter than singer. And I wouldn't argue with a Rhodes scholar because Johnny Cash brings it in his version of this tune and it's the one most people are familiar with.

Wish she'd tour so I could see her...❤

Makes me cry everytime...❤

You need to try Harry Chapin if you really like lyrics.

He is a Folk Singer. Everything is not country sir. Think Bob Dylan.

The performance which was infront of Leonard Cohen was at the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame induction for him in 2006 available on here. The end where she rushes down to him is marvellous

Johnny is the best thing to ever happened to music! Ask any musician! Bob Dylan's favorite song is Big River. But, if country is too simplistic to you, try the Rick Rubin produced stuff on American Recordings like God's Gonna Cut You Down or Delia's Gone. If you like the novelty songs try A Boy Named Sue recorded live at San Quentin. If you like songs with a meaning try Man in Black. Post Malone is doing a cover of Johnny's song Cocaine Blues.
