LeeAnn Rimes - Blue | Metal / Rock Fans' First Time Reaction with McFarlane Reserve 4 Grain

Metal / rock fans' first time reaction to LeAnn Rimes' performance of "Blue" while checking out some McFarlane Reserve Four Grain

[@meganedwards1039]

She was 13 when this was released. Its crazy how good she was at that age.

[@thegroovetube3247]

Yes, but remarkably it was recorded when she was 11. There's an interview with her on You Tube where she explains that she recorded it as an 11 year-old, it was re-recorded for release as a single when she was 13 - but there was a mix-up with the tapes and it was the original version which ended-up being released.

[@beckywiegers3315]

Legend has it, this song was destined for Patsy Cline and,when Patsy died, the writer sat on it. For years. Then he heard LeeAnn and thought she was worthy of it. And there you have it.

[@Melody-bourbonite4life]

True story , in fact patsy was going to preform it for the first time at her next show, but died before she ever got the chance

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

I'd say she was indeed "worthy." - Keith

[@120160bday]

The writer was Bill Mack, a local DJ on WBAP radio in the DFW metropolitan area.

[@gotdance6403]

Patsy Cline did record this song with very similar vocals.

[@davey3884]

Not according to Bill Mack, who actually wrote the song, he has debunked that numerous times, including in his book.

[@brrms13p]

LeAnn also won a grammy for blue making her the youngest artist to win a grammy.

[@jerricocke987]

What you guys were skating over Leanne had that power in control of her voice at the age of 13. The song was actually written for Patsy Cline but she died in a plane crash and the author kept it on his shelf until one day I can't remember if it was at a church or at some little festival or something he heard and he gave it.

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

Being her first hit, at 13 years old, skyrocketed her early career. She has amazing pipes still. Her vocals on The Masked Singer brought her a new, younger fan base.

[@lindabrewer3243]

Now you should do her live version of "Unchained Melody" when she was 14 years old. LeAnn is amazing. You can hear her sing several songs if you watch her video from her time on The Masked Singer. She was the Sun and she won that year.

[@lisaray9944]

Got to see Leeann sing at the age of 10-12 at the Grapevine Opry over in Grapevine Texas …. Lord that girl had us all standing on our feet blew the roof off the house every time she sang

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

I imagine people were dumbstruck hearing that for the first time. Live. - Keith

[@Texashog11]

My wife and I were at a mall in southwest Ft Worth and we heard this huge voice start singing. Walked half the length of the mall to see who was singing and it was this little girl about 10. Waited around until we could ask her name. Unreal hearing such a young child with her voice.

[@neoncatfish4038]

LeAnn Rimes was raised and got her start in Texas! So I believe the shots were they was swimming, was in New Braunfels Texas. A big designation for tubing down the river! Most people compare Leanne to Patsy Cline! To me her career, is were her it should have been with that voice! She should be bigger than Taylor Swift by far! I would not even be able to tell you a Taylor Swift song. But as soon as I hear Leanne sing. I know exactly who it is!!

[@Texashog11]

It was filmed in Austin at Barton Springs.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Awesome reaction, so glad you loved her voice. Leann has a phenomenal voice (I think she was 13 years old when she sang this one) and superb control, please add her live performance of Carol of the Bells to your list.

[@JasonGilbert-yl8hf]

She was:)

[@Melody-bourbonite4life]

when I first heard this song ,I thought it was patsy....since this song was originally written for patsy cline who never had the chance to preform or record it....LeAnn did her proud. excellent voice and at only 13

[@shayeplunkett24]

She's got such a great voice. She won a recent season of The Masked Singer

[@rosemariediamond5948]

She has an amazing voice. You should watch her Patsy Cline tribute on one of the award shows. Very emotional and moving. She honored her

[@tonigreen7004]

Oh I agree 1000%

[@jackiepierce-eo1ss]

This was our intro to Leanne back in the day, she certainly gave Ms. Patsy's song it's proper justice.

[@DSJ1967]

When this song came out, my daughter was about 18 months old...she is 31 now....lol

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Ouch. - Keith

[@wordfairy1]

Her Unchained Melody is amazing.

[@JasonGilbert-yl8hf]

At 13 years old singing this!!!

[@mikevangaasbeek2425]

Barton springs swimming hole in Austin Texas.

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

And she sang like that at only 13 years old!

[@ChicagoDB]

@Bourbon Country Reacts - even after all of these years, to this day…this song and her voice/talent still just floor me. Her mother, Patsy Cline, would be so proud [just kidding of course since they’re not related]! LeeAnn also won, one of the recent seasons of “The Masked Singer”…as did Jewel…two superb vocal talents proving their vocal chops, competitively the hard way…winning on their talents and not their looks and reputations.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Tough call between those two. - Keith

[@ChicagoDB]

@@BourbonCountryReacts - both of them could easily leave me dashed upon the rocks…as could Olivia…superb voices…easy on the eyes and ears also 👍🏻🥃 As you may know, Jewel also has the yodeling skill…really impressive when singers have it right!

[@audracrawford8836]

Check out a more recent song “Probably Wouldn’t Be This Way” LeAnn is a fantastic vocalist!!! Did you know she was 13 years old when she sang this song?

[@larrybench6398]

That's true Bill Mac, long time radio DJ, had written the song intending it for Patsy, but we know the rest of Patsy's story, but Leann, nailed and being so young when she did was amazing, hey guys listen to Leann, sing "HOW DO I LIVE WITHOUT YOU" great voice!! Give it a listen.

[@barbarahighlander8840]

She has an amazing voice.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Absolutely. - Keith

[@itskimble3494]

She covered George Jones's "He stopped loving her today" for a tribute or cover. It is my favorite version of the song. Plus, she sings Amazing Grace also WOW

[@MadisonD941]

In Tennessee, some state parks used to have swimming areas roped off in a small (maybe man-made) lakes. Also had area for the 2 person pedal boats.

[@aprilfunk7225]

I love leann rimes love her voice

[@markalumbaugh2756]

Well, I can remember once that one (or both) of you cracking wise about any yodeling song. I remember thinking "Just wait untill they hear Blue by LeeAnn Rimes or Night Riders Lament by Suzy Boggusss.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Well, you were right. - Keith

[@lesliespeck8717]

13 Years old...are you kidding me. Written for Patsy Cline and she killed...killed it. R.I.P. Patsy but props to Leeann.

[@codyclaeys2008]

I knew you guys would love this one Get Martina Leeane Reba and Carrie in a room and all the windows would be broken!

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Sireens. - Keith

[@codyclaeys2008]

Lee ann rhimes Unchanged melody is by far the best version of all time

[@danajohnson1189]

She does an awesome cover of Debbie Boone's You light up my life and How do I live shows of her voice. I think shes been doing more bluesy music lately.

[@user-vf1ck7jn4v]

Your wife has excellent taste in music this song was amazing for her age loved it. Your show is a refreshing make my day hit in my book. If you like OOG try Eddy Arnold.

[@user-vf1ck7jn4v]

Ghost Riders in the sky or Make the World go Away.

[@deepsix8495]

One of the best lady country singers of all time, her Acapulco version of “amazing grace “ is the best version ever made. Also, she does one of the best national anthems ever. And I’m not that big a fan of the female country singers, except her, Pam Tillis, Mary Chapin carpenter and a few others.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

I’ve added that one to the list -Dustin

[@greeneyelove2003]

She was on Star Search when she was eight. I think 13 when she had her first hit. She was the first to record "How Do I Live" for the movie Con Air but someone at the studio decided that having a teen sing the main song for rated R movie was not appropriate. Trisha Yearwood ended up singing it and she did an amazing job as well. They even sang it together at one point for an awards show or something. I suggest the song for both women. For LeeAnn - “One Way Ticket”, she slays “You Light Up My Life” and her cover of "Crazy" will blow you away. "Probably Wouldn’t Be This Way" is another great one. I'm pretty sure she could sing the phone book and make it remarkable. And sorry, but you can't be a true Kardashian until you have a bad spray tan and more plastic parts than Barbie. :-)

[@shaleighhannsz3403]

One way ticket is my absolute favorite

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

I don't see plastic parts and spray tans in my immediate future, so, I guess I'm good. - Keith

[@sandralorenz1796]

Check out LeAnn's "Cattle Call". We should all sound this good at 13.

[@snipsalott]

She does have her own KZbin channel as well and still sounds amazing.

[@jackiepierce-eo1ss]

You MUST react to Leanne doing a cover of The Judds/Wynonna's 'Have Mercy'. It's acoustic guitar and it's amazing!

[@roncypert8255]

Love the Oh, Brother…. reference. Ms. Rimes is a fantastic vocal powerhouse!! Patsy Cline reincarnated

[@khansen3070]

You mentioned Olivia, you need to react to “Sam” in concert 1982. It shows her range and her beauty.

[@TwoFarmBoys]

Her studio version of Unchained Melody (or the live version too) is amazing! I would recommend y'all check that one out next. Great video as always! - Everett

[@juliesmith5211]

I really enjoy watching your reactions because I know there will be no BS you enjoy true music and you call a spade a spade! LeeAnn Rimes is amazing without a doubt!!! We grew up around the same time so we had the pleasure of hearing great rock music only difference is I enjoyed great country music, but you’re slowly getting introduced to it and recognize the OG’s… Thanks for the fun and if I had the extra dough plus the knowledge I’d send a bribe but your bribers are doing great!! Your wife gets a 👍for today!! I hope you read this 😁 have a great day! Julie

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

We read all these comments. And thank you. - Keith

[@tracylamb2971]

Great reaction and yep, she has an amazing voice. Keith , you saw correct. The outdoor part of the video was filmed at Barton Springs in Austin Texas. That swimming area, the 'municipal pool' has some concrete, the 'free' side doesn't. It's pretty neat.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

That's kinda cool. Growing up, I'da been on the "free" side. - Keith

[@tracylamb2971]

@@BourbonCountryReacts ditto

[@angieabella8856]

I remember when this came out, my mom was obsessed. It sounded like Patsy Cline and she adored Patsy.

[@elizabethbutterworth5822]

Do amazing grace acapela and spaceship. Also her time on masked singer as the sun. She won.

[@Mrskorba]

I love watching your reactions. Can I put a request in for Lukas Nelson (Willie Nelson’s son) at his dads 90th bday celebration Angel flying to close to the ground (just him and a guitar) Keith you will totally enjoy it! His guitar skills are TOP NOTCH! I like Willie but Lukas makes me just get goosebumps and makes me cry.

[@donnawilliams4148]

Yes! Thank you Joanna. I have a whole list of female songs I hoped to bribe for. This is the next one on my list. What a treat! LeeAnn Rimes has a stunning voice. Also a favorite that she does is How do I Live. But I am torn between her version and Trisha Yearwood's version of that song. Great reaction guys.

[@mar7922]

And to think she was only 13 yrs old at the time!

[@lisacaringello2138]

She does a great accapella version of Amazing Grace. She was very young when she did it. It is done in an empty church with just her beautiful voice. Check it out

[@barbaradawdy6317]

The first time I heard this I thought it was Patsy!

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

She also does an incredible cover of The Rose, You Light Up My Life, and Bridge Over Troubled Water. I think you would like all of these. Cheers from Canada! :)

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Completely understandable. - Keith

[@amandajenkins8597]

"Who elected you the leader of this here outfit?" Great fuckin movie

[@Gutslinger]

I love that yodel aspect. Hank Williams Sr did it a lot in his songs too. It annoys me that I haven't really noticed it being present in country music in the past 20 years. I think if anyone today can properly incorporate it in their songs, I think they would become a big success. Because I think most people love it, and it's not really present anymore, so you'd stick out like a diamond in the dirt.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

I like it used sparingly like she did in this performance. Another thing that drives me wild is a good Irish trill, which is similar to a yodel. - Keith

[@libertybell8852]

Ashley McBryde can. She's amazing if you've never listened to her.

[@elliekahl5305]

@@BourbonCountryReacts This isn't related to horny toads or music but, records are involved. I thought you'd be interested in the subject, It follows. " The sharpest of Marines has died, just a few years after he told his life story in a book that revealed his career as a Marine Corps Vietnam Vet. Charles Mawhinney, known as “Chuck,” died in Oregon on February 12th at 75 years of age " He was the best of the best and received all of the decorations a man's uniform could carry. Look the details up on Chuck & Gary. My time in service was Army Engineers and I have a local hero too. His name is M.Sgt. Gary Gordon born in Lincoln Maine, he and Chuck Mawhinney were qualified in the same job among others. I use the Veterans center bearing his name for my disability needs. My issues don't compare, chemicals & asbestos got me. He and others in his unit were the Delta Force team portrayed in the Battle of Mogadishu. He was Gordie in the film. They pissed the Somali's off to the max, read the story and lists! Both are examples of America's Best Keith.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Don't know much about him. The only CMH recipient I was ever close to was Hershel "Woody" Williams. Woody was one hell of a Marine, and one hell of a good guy. When he died a couple of years ago, me and a buddy (army) drove from Indianapolis to Charleston, WV to pay our respects as he laid in state at the Capitol. They had him in the rotunda with a 24 hour USMC guard. My buddy and I stood to the side and watched the procession of people passing. As we stood there, this guy who looked WWII aged, and wearing a USMC ballcap was pushed up to the casket in his wheel chair. It took that old man a solid 20 seconds to stand from that wheelchair and render a salute to Woody. You could have heard a pin drop in that whole capitol building. I looked at my buddy - "I'm not cryin'. You're cryin'." A scene I will never forget as long as I live. - Keith

[@davidjennings1771]

@@BourbonCountryReacts I've never met one myself but always stop to watch the awards when given out. I assure you Chuck was one of a kind. If you want a link, I'll send it to you. I respect the heck out of anyone that was there. It would have made any man cry or at least pray. Those marines on Iwo Jima saved many other marines lives. You'd have saluted too if you were in that old marine's shoes. He may have been there! The governor of this State won the CMH in the Civil war. Remember these words, "we're out of power & shells Colonel", Chamberlain said "bayonets, charge". He was a college professor before sighing up.
