BR549 - Too Lazy To Work, Too Nervous To Steal

[@Northeastken]

This was a well put together music video featuring this band. One of the best. Had this on my favorites list. Love the way it flows into the best-looking party of all times! You guys were fantastic!

[@scottishjohnInTexas]

"The Greatest band you've never heard of", couldn't put it any better. One of the best live acts I've ever seen!!

[@jeffscott8323]

Some groups dont get the Fame they deserve. They are unsung Heros

[@RychleTube]

Just found out about this band. The guys were so great

[@gcord21]

Listen to Lifetime To Prove, great country song. They should have had big mainstream success.

[@paulbrown1585]

Great musicians. One listen to this band tells you that.

[@51gary51]

Damn! I love this record! Why wasn't it a huge hit? It didn't even chart! WTF? Were people deaf? These guys harmonize with the best of them! And the song cooks! It's a #1 hit in my book!

[@WorldRockumentaryChannel]

Sorry but this song title are two song titles written by the legendary Lucky White of the Dude Ranch Playboys back in the 1950's and 60's. We find them in the Scor Account by Sony/ATV/Acuff-Rose. Is this just a coincidence?

[@avatarfin]

What a great opening line in a very cool song.

[@boogiebass69]

Saw these fellers in St. Louis a while back, and they were beyond cool! Weird thing is... I'm not a big country guy, but this hya BR-549 rockabilly schtick is a total blast, love these gents!

[@drrojo666]

I miss them days

[@randyhilliard7999]

The Greatest band you.ve never heard of.Love these guys...Thanks for the post.

[@sondrayork6317]

that's me, too lazy to work too nervous to steal, i love this band too!

[@bustercherry9643]

This is the reason Keith Richards said he got into music. He was too lazy to work and too nervous to steal.

[@Hqhq-01]

Keith also loved country music. He spent a lot of time with Gram Parsons who opened Keith's eyes a lot. Keith would love BR5-49.

[@ellbot2000]

Who's listening in 2020?

[@Miguel...160]

24

[@tomattaboy]

@@Miguel...160 I am listening, in Finland

[@tomstiel7576]

Wow listening in 2025

[@whitetigress7448]

"We could enjoy the weather as long as we didn't talk." I love this to pieces. Chuck's vocals are the best since Hank W. Yow; man you are special!. xxxooo

[@JMH912]

White Tigress i am remastering you

[@williamcason5157]

that's what country is supposed to sound like.

[@gcord21]

This band was grossly underrated. They should have been bigger in the 90s. I have no idea why they didn't catch on with the country crowd.

[@hookafingerinya]

"Too Lazy to Work, Too Nervous to Steal" (Daylie Holmes, Marl H. Young) - 2:36 sorry to disappoint you but that was not written as a country song .....It's a BLUES song.

[@helenepelletier894]

WHYYYYYYY have I never heard this song before??? I LOOOOOOOVE it!

[@kbean63]

Shaw Wilson -- if you're listening, is that your Galaxie 500 in the video?? If so, it's seen a lot of miles I bet.

[@markengbrecht3274]

I saw these guys in the early nineties at a small club in Missoula Mt., damn what a show.

[@stephenschutz463]

Would have been 95-6, that’s when they formed and were killin it down at Roberts Western World.

[@tobysgamingworld1550]

Chuck Mead has a magnificent head of hair. Like a country Neil Finn. Such a great band.

[@mikelord9860]

I was EXACTLY thinkin' of Neil while watching this! Telepathy!

[@tobysgamingworld1550]

@@mikelord9860 waaaaaahhhh!! Now I don’t feel so weird lol. Happy new years

[@drummingwithjeff]

He sure does!

[@amyhagerman9670]

Saw these guys around five times...I really wish they could get back together ❤️

[@mkl62]

[@FantabulouslyCherry]

BR-549 need to reform and join forces with The Mavericks, Sturgill Simpson, and Old Crow Medicine Show and obliterate bro-country!

[@donantoine7508]

[@jeremykuhl2416]

They could have saved country music too bad they didn't!

[@user28k9]

[@mikelord9860]

Heh that's funny, there have been times I was too nervous to work, too lazy to steal!
