Charley Crockett -- Jamestown Ferry [REACTION/RATING]

[@leerjet31]

He has a 60s&70s sound with a 2021 twist and it's perfect

[@guitarhillbilly1482]

This song was written by Mack Vickery and Bobby Borchers. It was a hit for Tanya Tucker in 1972

[@ivana.vargas9428]

This was filmed in Silverton, Colorado

[@appalachianqueen8369]

The Jamestown Ferry is located on the James River near the first English settlement in Virginia. It is down river from the Colonial Capital of Williamsburg and up river from the port city of Newport News. The ferry transports automobile traffic across the James River to Scotland Wharf. Have ridden the ferry many times. The James River empties into the Chesapeake Bay near Norfolk, Virginia. Not a mountain in sight unless you count Mt. Trashmore in nearby Virginia Beach.

We have a Jamestown in North Dakota on a James River also 😂😂

[@augiehedquist6020]

He started his career on the streets and he became so popular that he started booking venues

[@georgelewis619]

THE Jamestown Ferry is in Virginia and connects Jamestown, Va to Surry, Va.

[@ChrististKing]

Been on it many times lol

[@sararubino8081]

YAY! Charley!!!! What a great artist! Awesome reaction 😁 ....Hope you are staying well, Don.

[@cooperjackson614]

Charley should be bigger than he is. Great live show. If you can find his version of "Lonesome as a shadow" filmed outside a boot shop in San Antonio, watch it!

[@avalondreaming1433]

Thanks for featuring Charlie Crockett. He's living in Dallas right now. Very cool and unique. Love him.

[@frankw1458]

Just stopped by to say glad to see you are doing good, so far so good out here in the sticks in Oklahoma. Stay safe and take care.

[@RockN2Country]

@Frank W Thanks for the well wishes, and glad to see thinks are still tolerable down your way. Let’s hope this blows over real soon.

[@jeremygrossenbacher5870]

Love Charley... great stuff Don!

[@BoiseG]

I really like Charley Crockett and listen to him often. It's interesting how he sounds like he has a slight speech impediment when he sings, but there's no trace at all when he speaks in an interview. Anyway, just an observation of a great singer!

[@sabrinajones7565]

That's the creole in him

[@sabrinajones7565]

He's part African American creole

Tanya did the original in 1972. This cover by Charley Crockett is by far superior to the original. @rockn2country, Don do you let the video and imagery influence your appreciation of the song? I ask because I think this songs so much better but I was thinking 8.2-8.5 at best ..... I was listening to the song and not watching the video. I am also biased because I've known Tanya version forever and never liked it. The original is not significantly different. Tanya had an old west kinds southern feel to it. In my mind I always pictured a ferry in an old western movie. I always thought the song was boring and dull but I've never been a big Tanya fan either. Charley must have felt the same western vibe because he carried it into the wardrobe and setting on video. Musically this is stonger, he has a nice steel solo that the original did not. His vocals have more feel, emotion in them. Much more interesting to me. So I'm biased by my history with the original. We're you influenced by the video? Does that cause you to rate the song higher? I really did like this. I like Charley's voice. For Tanya a much better song is, Oh what it did to me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHebhY2kbtmLfbc

Love this song! My boyfriend put it in a playlist for me when we first started dating. Charley is a great artist!

glad to see this,with all the craziness around right now and this dropped a little later in the morning then usual kinda worried about ya.really liked this version but Tanya T. is tough to beat.I know it'll take awhile to get up but check out Mississippi by Billy Don Burns featuring Tanya,Billy Don is a hell of a storyteller and with Tanya on that really good song

[@Brad_Bowden]

Thanks Don!

[@jollybridge-burner]

Keep em coming big boy! Nice job Donnie! 👍😜😁

[@Teresia12]

Love this when Tanya Tucker recorded it. We will see if this holds up. Very cool that he is related to Davey Crockett. There's a Jamestown TN but don't think this is it though it's on the WV border and in the mountains. These Mts don't look like TN Mts they look like Colorado Mts.

[@marlenemckinney7198]

Great cover!!

[@gabelynch3529]

Jamestown, VA as far as i can tell. the song is originally by Tanya Tucker

[@StevenEverett7]

Don: Thank you for bringing this song to my attention. Charlie did a great rendition of this classic song. His vocals were fantastic. Although the lyrics were changed to suit a male singer I believe that was the only change in the lyrics. The melody was slightly different to suit his voice. Overall I really enjoyed this. I must admit though that I still prefer Tanya's version with her peculiar vocal delivery. I grew up listening to and admiring Tanya and will always have a soft spot in my heart for her. Cheers, Steve PS Do yourself a favor and listen to the original. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I grew up with country music playing in the house my parents loved it. So it was the first music I ever heard. Then we always had to watch the grand Ole opry which started at the ryman auditorium and we watched later hee haw . I also listened 60s and 70s popular music and some rock. So there's a little about my background. Tanya Tucker (country singer) was close in age to me . Yeah she started singing as a kid .she first sang Jamestown Ferry I think I liked her version better .Heres a link to her singing Jamestown ferry at later age . kzbin.info/www/bejne/jme5fYOkfcR9gas

Heres a Tanya Tucker one you might want to check out .Was my favorite it is called "whats your mamas name" kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpfNo5SCnMpknc0

Viewer request Don. My favorite Kenny Rogers song, "SWEET MUSIC MAN". #R.I.P. Kenny. I saw him in concert with Crystal Gayle once and also once with Dottie West. Kenny and Dottie singing "ANYONE WHO ISN'T ME TONIGHT" is review worthy song. Hate waking up to sad news. Have a good weekend on the east coast.
