Amy Grant - "Bartender´s Blues"

[@GuriMalla2010]

Lyrics: Now I'm just a bartender And I don't like my work But I don't mind the money at all I see lots of sad faces And lots of bad cases Of folks with their backs to the wall But I need four walls around me To hold my life, to keep me from going astray And a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight To keep me from slipping away I can light up your smokes I can laugh at your jokes I can watch you fall down on your knees I can close down this bar I can gas up my car And I can pack up and mail in my key But I need four walls around me To hold my life, to keep me from going astray And a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight To keep me from slipping away Now, the smoke fills the air In this honky-tonk bar And I'm thinking 'bout where I'd rather be But I burned all my bridges And I sank all my ships, now I'm stranded at the edge of the sea I still need four walls around me To hold my life, to keep me from going astray I need some honky-tonk angel to hold me tight To keep me from slipping away

[@karenmoldenhauer1421]

Wish Amy would sing more blues

[@KevinThomas-h3k]

Best version of this song, hands down.

[@gelberalterdoppeldecker7142]

❤

[@malcolmbest1249]

Her version could never b the best version. Unless all U heard is her version. I couldn't even finish listen to her version

[@margieguilfordwoman]

My favorite NEW song!!!

[@samking6335]

If there ever was perfection in a cover. This is it.

[@sudsfour4553]

I like it better than Jones' cover of the song .

[@leokreimer6492]

Amy makes this world a better place..

[@c.m.krauss372]

Brava to Amy Grant for stepping outside her usual zone and owning the stage!

[@robinfishburn7466]

She sing this all throaty and no one can match this version!

[@TheBrucenz]

Fantastic performance of this great song

[@margieguilfordwoman]

You are awesome! Thank you my Dear!

[@rlestourgeon]

Im a great guy but Im envious of Vince Gill.Off course he deserves Amy

[@JoyceAlgofaidi]

Definitely one of the best versions of this song --- anyone who ever tended bar can probably relate to this for sure.

[@AECEntertainment]

That cute little "yeah" at the end. Beautiful performance!

[@gelberalterdoppeldecker7142]

Best version I've ever heard! ❤️

[@sonsieface1]

Even singing the wrong words in the chorus she recovers and makes it better!!!

[@normanjones629]

Amy Grant is the bartender of this song. NOBODY sings this song like her. With that whiskey voice of hers she is all of the lady bartenders I worked with for many years. Love her.

[@mgray612]

George Jones disagrees

[@bracylee556]

She killed it! WoW

[@percurtis3]

Gloria put it into words for me. No matter how much I love George Jones and have most of his music, I get the same experience of chills when Amy Grant sings Bartender Blues. I have watched the entire show of Georges 50th almost every night

[@iantalbot2304]

Wow a fantastic rendition of this song. Love it

[@Wayne-d2l]

That's beautiful song 🎸 God bless you 🙏❤️😍😻💕💟

[@maviscoupal1402]

I’ve listened to different artist sing this song. But Amy Grant is the one I like the most. I listen to it several times a day.

[@lisalopez7488]

Love this version of George Jones song.

[@TightLinesFLA]

George Jones is still the King of Country music but Amy Grant owns this song. This is an unbelievably great performance.

[@rambleon2011]

James Taylor, who wrote this song, owns it

[@samking6335]

It was perfection!

[@perryclouse6345]

Nobody does Bartender's Blues as good as Amy Grant...the emotion and feelings are authenic...

[@MusicHeartofMine2012]

Amy sings the song great but George Jones lived it!

[@maviscoupal1402]

Love her voice

[@lanes58]

Well no. The original version by James Taylor, is the one to compare to.

[@gwenerikson7356]

♥️... she’s the best !!!

[@mlfreitas4832]

Can’t deny it, Amy Grant’s performance here stunned me. The best I’ve heard in years.

[@kjones7561]

Amy does a great job on this song!

[@didifalkman9782]

George Jones sung it Way better than she can!

[@buddyandian]

Stunning !

[@gingercat555]

I am not surprised that the audience stood for her ... what a performance.

[@dorothysmith3120]

She is literally the only one that received a standing ovation with everyone on their feet for this song. Such a beautiful voice ❤❤

[@richardapsassin8554]

She's got the most beautiful voice on the planet and her beautiful music is why I love country music 🎵🎶🎼🎶

[@sonsieface1]

Owns it!!!

[@brobbinsroost]

I heard this on TV for the George special, and I was blown away. Any said she had always liked this song, but it did not fit into her concerts and she was glad of the opportunity to perform it. It introduced me to this great song, and it so fits the raspy quality of Amy's voice.

[@jeanmitchem3280]

Love her voice

[@alanlusn3310]

Amy hit that one out-of-the-park. I'm sure George would have been pleased..

[@lanes58]

James Taylor wrote and recorded this song before George did his cover. I’m sure James too is pleased.

[@markking2735]

James Taylor wrote it. And his recording of it is the stansard by which all others are compared. I love many of the covers but please give all the credit to James.He suffered for this song!

[@michaelpaccione8248]

Best version of this song I ever heard. She makes you feel it.

[@lutalice]

i dont even like this song but this is probably the twentieth time i've clicked on this video in the past year, simply because she looks freakin amazing here!!!

[@professionalcommunication8651]

And when I heard that honky-tonk Angel, that girl now she can rock like I said, I love her for life, so gifted so beautiful hallelujah. Amen.

[@wildjohnny56]

I would not know Amy Grant to be a christian singer or a blues person. But she feels this song and gives a great performance in her facial expressions and her bluesy voice. Love ti

[@ArkRed1]

Sing that soul sister.

[@brobbinsroost]

I saw this on TV when the special aired, and I was blown away. I respect Amy, but have never been a big fan of her music; this one blew me away though. I had never heard that bluesy quality in her voice. Love this performance!

[@TheNashvilleTrail]

She is singing about an Angel with no halo and one wing in the fire - what emotion!

[@CJFavor]

Such a beautiful woman and great voice. Just a class act with Values. God Bless you and your Family Amy.

[@juliettindall3320]

What emotional song and it was a pleasure to listen to a real country singer

[@Bobs21x]

Amy does this song with MUCH justice! Hat's off performance and her comment's were priceless. I mean of ALL the songs, her and Bartender Blues.......

[@tacomini5]

before I leave this earth its my dream to just go to one more show, perhaps play the guitar and sing a little with her back stage. She led me to God and with out her music I would have never been able to survive the loss of my husband and my entire family

[@Docsjeff]

So sorry to hear of your loss. God Bless You.

[@johnfivaz5874]

That's so very sad and beautiful.

[@stefondavis7369]

If you like her you would probably like jason crabb also

[@galwayr]

If Amy Grant went country she would turn country music inside out.This is the very best I've heard this song done. Yes even better than the man himself and I think George Jones is the greatest ever. Amy just does something to this song. Fox..

[@tedtryon4280]

Awesome voice!!!!

[@samking6335]

Best rendition of this hands down! so sultry!

[@peterh.schindler5444]

Was für eine Frau und was für ein ergreifender Song.

[@connieg343]

Amy,s Voice is so great.. I just can, t get enough of listening to this song..The best Version ever.. She, s so beautiful.

[@TheMaxvoyage]

Feels like she really knows something about my crappy job. Nice. I've been loving her since early 80's, from the very beginning.

[@herbie651]

great voice. exceptional phrasing. wonderful song.

[@jackmarchione7982]

Beautiful! Love that voice.

[@mlynn4817]

Never tired of listening to Amy Grants version of "Bartenders Blues". One can feel the emotion of that song when she sings it, her voice her facial expression and everything else that convey whatever the feelings and emotions of this song.

[@dalecox7373]

Just a beautiful version is sung by an incredibly beautiful singer.

[@brobbinsroost]

Amy actually introduced me to this song at this tribute to George Jones. I heard her sing it and I was blown away. I hadn't heard her sing the blues like this before. This is my favorite version of this classic. I actually think she outsings George here!

[@1bls]

She was incredible with this version, but I don’t think anyone one Earth could have out sang George.

[@rambleon2011]

Written by James Taylor, covered by George Jones and many others

[@professionalcommunication8651]

What ever Amy Grant sings pure gold comes from her, so I love her music fan for life

[@sharonyocum7464]

That was so 👍.

[@robinfishburn3043]

Amy you blew me away the night you sang this ! I didn't know what to expect begin a true lover of country but always giving others there chance too! YOU GO GIRL!!!

[@danieljoyce9056]

Nice George Jones knock off. Just the mood I'm in right now.

[@ralphtkane1106]

Now, that's what I call " leaving it all on the field". A well deserved standing O. I pity anybody who had to follow that.

[@earlebubar2602]

This is as good as it gets. She is amazing. Absolutely beautiful girl.

[@jeaniegrant9445]

WOW! JUST WOW!

[@boshindler2493]

The best version Bartenders Blues, bar none :) .

[@gramhen]

I love her singing this song !

[@ravello99]

Beautiful!!! Amy's a treasure!

[@ravello99]

Singing a beautiful, heartfelt tribute to one of country music's biggest influences is sinking low? How? What an honor for her to have been asked to sing one of his biggest hits.

[@glorializsmith1395]

Oh my God, I love Amy's voice, so touching, I love the way she sings this song, I could play it over and over again. I just get chills down my back..shes' awesome.

[@joannecole4789]

[@maviscoupal1402]

I’ve been playing over & over again. Love it.

[@billwalker7556]

I saw the same show. I believe it was a celebration for George's anniversary. Many stars sang George's hits.

[@jackmarchione7982]

Love it!

[@maviscoupal1402]

Discovered this song, and I’m liking it very much.
