Back in the Saddle - Matraca Berg

back in the saddle by Matraca Berg

[@peterfields4801]

The whole album didn't get the promotion it deserved,superb album with many great songs. She is a great singer as well as a superb songwriter,luckily she did go one to make more albums. From an era when Country music was flying in the 90's,great times!

[@XanaduCGN]

I still can not believe that this amazing song was not a real big hit. Wonderful melody, lyrics and Martraca! And that video was hilarious!!!

[@officeboy89]

Matraca Berg was a one hit wonder, as a singer, but her songs have been recorded all over Nashville!

[@jonesanrchy1980]

This song is very underrated. It was briefly popular in 1998. A hell of a lot better than the crap today

[@user-zs6wm7xp6y]

Tooo funny cause the midnight cowboy @KGKL.. usta play this one on a loop with certain someone in mind ..oddly nuf

[@sleepcity]

Can we not just acknowledge and applaud a great song without bitching about shit we don't like? Come on, dude.

[@tonetone7572]

Matraca is too good for Nashville mainstream radio play and album sales. she's the real deal born and raised in Nashville Tennessee her music is pure earthy and many times possesses a hauntingly and appalling emotional beauty that leaves the listener awe struck and wondering why there are not volumes of her music available. in 1991 her album Bitter Sweet Surrender was rejected by RCA because it was too damn good and not "commercial country" She's' a song writing genius who's songs are recorded by some of the biggest names in country- Trish Yearwood, Randy Travis, Tanya Tucker, Reba McEntire.. I put her up there with Bob Dylan as far as song writing talent and ability is concerned . Buy anything she's ever made you wont regret it.

[@kf9956]

This song is my favorite song from its era. The video is epic. I remember losing my mind every time it came on CMT and I still blast it on Spotify all the time 💙💙

[@rubyirene2500]

I always thought I was dreaming up this video. No one ever remembered it.. I loved it. Thanks for sharing it here.

[@Kellogs43able]

patsy Cline and Willie Nelson were the reasons why i started listening to country music.....Matraca Berg and Mary Chapin Carpenter are the reasons why i keep listening to it...never have i heard a songwriter who is more creative with words as matraca....

[@patriciajones8012]

all great women of country music , THEN and STILL TO TODAY!!! GO LADIES!!! JUST LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[@edwardprice140]

2020 , i just heard this for the first time, on a classic country station. It's the best "new" song i've heard in forever. Why was it not more famous ?

[@annieplante3081]

Been playing it for years on My radio show !!! It is sooooo good and fun!

[@edwardprice140]

@Matraca Berg🎶 Yes please, and Have you ever heard of Mountain Stage on NPR in Charleston WV You would love it.

[@FXMAN66]

@@edwardprice140 I’d be careful sharing any info with this person. About 5 hours ago, I got the same reply to one of my posts from 10 years ago. As much as I love her music and I know she appreciates her fans, Matraca Berg is not going to volunteer personal info. C’mon man, use your nugget (head).

[@randymiller3949]

@Matraca Berg🎶 Matraca, you have no idea how much I love this song of your & how many times I have listened to this AWESOMELY GREAT SONG while walking my dogs thru my neighborhood. Thank you so much for this "REAL COUNTRY SONG"!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama.

[@JJJZANESVILLE2]

@@FXMAN66 Yeah, it puzzles me, fx, why some one would want to try to be Matraca. I love Matraca but she isn't all that popular except among us. Fuck you, fake Matraca!

[@JacobBembry]

I wish there were more Matraca videos on KZbin, like "Baby, Walk On." She is a talent who won a Grammy at 18 for writing the song "The Last One to Know" by Reba McIntyre. If you look closely, you'll see her husband Jeff Hanna from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in this video.

[@laurat1720]

Still listening to it. I had to check it out again❤😊

[@jamesanderson8078]

Well you say it's really nice, hello Laura how are you doing 👋👋👋

[@LynnieDW]

I bought this CD when it first came out, but "Along For the Ride" became my favorite song. She is so talented and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (her husband's band) has always been near and dear to my heart.

[@LynnieDW]

@Matraca Berg🎶 Yes! I would LOVE it! I think you are a wonderful poet/song writer.

[@jscountrygirl85_326]

Such a fun song with a very fun video to go with it! I remember seeing it often on GAC. Most of the people that have been on the radio in the last decade or so have absolutely NOTHING on these legendary ladies!

[@bigGullyV]

This song didn't get the airplay it deserved..

[@terrybaby4vr]

The Fun Girls in Mayberry don’t hold a candle to these Fun Girls. Seeing Patty Loveless in handcuffs has me humming Chains, Chains,Shackles and Chains lol 🤪

[@victorinegaudet4189]

I've been trying to find this video for thw past week! So glad I found it!!

[@sindymace5228]

This song one of the best ever...

[@jazcat6822]

I fell in love with a song that a contestant on Nashville Star performed "Strawberry Wine" (Angela Hacker ended up winning.) When I stumbled on Matraca's name and found out she co-wrote that song I immediately bought a copy of SUNDAY MORNING TO SATURDAY NIGHT and was blown away! What a great artist and find she turned out to be! I'm now a huge fan and news on her MySpace page is that she should have a new album out soon! I can't wait! Thanks for posting this great video!

[@JackalsIII]

I've been looking for this song forever!

Great video, i just saw her live with Suzy Bogguss and Gretchen Peters and the song is amazing with all three of them!!!!

[@HTJB60]

I just Luvvvvvvvvv SINGER SONGWRITER'S. I feel they do 'more justice' to their song's than there "Star" Hit Singer's. Matraca Berg OUTSHINE'S all those who cover / sing her song's.

[@gareth630]

thanks for posting, love the video and song, not just for the girls but for the cameo appearance of the late great Stuart Adamson

[@rakesfunnyfarm]

Plus Deana Carter

[@rakesfunnyfarm]

@@Musication717 I was talking about she also wrote Strawberry Wine for Dena Carter who was not in the video.

[@Musication717]

@@rakesfunnyfarm Yes, I knew what you meant. My point was that she's wrote hit song for many people who are not in the video.

Hannah Hawk, Patty Loveless is in the video, in case you missed her: ( 1:52 )

[@sherryhook9066]

2021. Still an absolutely fun song! Woohoo!!!

[@jamesanderson8078]

Lovely comment, Hello sherry how are you doing 👋👋

[@fangtastic1000]

One of the songs that made me love country!

[@fallenazangel]

This is easily one of the cutest videos out there. I love seeing the husbands on the other side of the viewing glass just letting the girls cut up.

[@chipsterb4946]

You saw men in that video? All I saw were wonderful women led by Matraca Berg!

[@Lijaskurzeme]

@@chipsterb4946 Yeah ChipsterB, she is a woman and so am I and we like boys ;)

[@Boatdockmlh1]

This great song was co-written by the great Stan Lynch, first drummer for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. He has gone on to have a great producing and writing career!

[@jamesanderson8078]

Beautiful comment, Hello marina how are you doing 👋👋

[@CatherineSTodd]

Lotta really Big Names in country music locked up in jail here! Great video!

[@ArcoZakus]

Catherine S. Todd, "... Big Names ..." AND Big Voices. Shoulda made 'em all sing for their supper before letting them out, long as they were all together at the same time.

[@ladyLuck23]

been looking for this song for years

[@chipsterb4946]

This song is delightful and hilarious by itself but the video .... They are having so much fun. Plus how can an incredibly talented singer songwriter be so damn cute too?

[@ronhennessy7766]

Great lineup! Matraca, Suzi, Faith, Martina, Trisha. Just missing Deana Carter, Matraca's friend, who did a super job with Strawberry Wine, written by Matraca and her writing partner Gary Harrison. As I remember the song won CMA Award for best country song of the year.

[@ronhennessy7766]

Ron Hennessy + Patti. (Sorry!)

[@scales57]

+Ron Hennessy how can you forget Patti...lol...she was the first one I figured out, red hair and all! Suzi Bogguss?

[@rakesfunnyfarm]

Her husband Jeff Hanna is in it to lol

A cool fact, Back in the saddle was co written by Stan Lynch, former drummer for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Matraca may not be a huge star but her songwriting is prolific, like a beautiful female version of Harlan Howard

I totally love this video!! I laugh everytime I see this video!! I especially love Martina McBride's reaction to the finger printing...

[@65hark]

Great tune and vid!!

[@globalbloodstock]

I agree. A brilliant album sung by a very talented woman. Shame she doesn't like recording stuff and preferred to write for other artists...she wrote Strawberry Wine amongst others. She's also gorgeous!

yes,thats suzzy bogus in the stripes

[@KingHorse27]

I doubt she "doesn't like"recording stuff...she's brilliant and has made a few different stabs at the big time but just doesn't have the political backup, I think...still, this all-star lineup reminds you how awesome she is. Patty, Trisha...I'm not sure Pam Tillis is here yet Pam has made hits out of Matraca's songs too...

[@beechnut79]

This woman is the Laura Nyro of country. What I mean by this is that, like the late Ms. Nyro, she had a great deal of success with songs penned and then made into hits by other artists. And although both made several albums, neither woman achieved much commercial success as the actual artist despite recording many great songs.
