Country music at it's finest!! Real Country, not that terrible shit on the radio!!

[@displaychicken]

Gtrman86 funny meeting you here haha! Good taste as always!

[@Gtrman86]

Country Music's saving grace!! Fuck them pussy's on the radio! This is how it's done!! Cheers Schickster! Justin

[@Higgs000Boson]

Don't know what y'all talking about, it plays on my favorite station! 106.9 The Country Giant.

[@geoffreyjohnston6483]

As to the " terrible ---- on the radio" the new term is "hick hop"! I don't know who coined it, but they soundly nailed it

[@nathankornegaymusic]

Imagine If the mainstream country station in your town played this on the radio...

[@samsticka]

Now THIS is the way country music is supposed to be.

[@joesitter20101]

Hear Here!

[@boatchips7820]

Nah

[@BoFrazer]

And it’s “too country” for country radio. Which is why I stopped listening to country radio.

[@richardseverin8925]

Keeping traditional country alive.!!

[@NESDwayne]

This is what real country sounds like.

[@g0g0duck20]

Matt would be proud 😌

[@wattsun7946]

Nashville...This is country music.

[@RockabillyRambler]

*hillbilly Dale watson himself dissavowed the country genre. They are calling themselves "ameripolitan"

[@davidlodiemyer5698]

Are you asking ?

[@bennyshaversmusic590]

Your damn right it is and *GOOD*

[@machelledanner]

Dale Watson has a new fan! I think he is great!

[@gunther955]

Keep up the good work Dale . The torch is in you guys hands that play the traditional type country music . Glad you are around , I really mean that .

[@tjbarnum5257]

This Guy Needs a lot more recognition, I Love His Sound!

[@stevehanford1753]

[@etp0802]

I was at the show! It was packed, and the crowd was 100% in to Dale the the Lone Stars. Such a great time; can't wait to see the whole thing.

[@StormLaker]

Based on this one song....I LOVE this guy! Little bit of Conway, George, etc in there. Keeping it old school- LOVE IT!!!!

[@jnunes222]

He sings both of their songs also..

[@jessicaallen4553]

He's done songs George and Merle, "Jonesin' for Jones," and "Feelin' Haggard."

[@scottanderson3285]

he did a whole album in tribute to the early early hits of Johnny Paycheck, called "The Little Darlin' Sessions"..... its a MUST to hear......

[@michaelmaples7109]

This is AUTHENTIC country music. I'm hearing a little Johnny Paycheck and my old drinking teacher, Jerry Nail in his voice. I guess country music decided not to spank it's kids either.

[@brucelee4996]

[@intownfilms]

Love this and anything Dale and the boys do!

Love his face expression fell in love with him ❤️❤️😘😘I listen to him just to see his handsome face

[@chuckHart70]

I used to hate Dale Watson I thought he was just a copycat wannabe. Then I realized he is just keeping it going. Dale Watson is one of the finest musicians and writers there is. Sorry it took me so long to figure it out

[@johnolsen9441]

Dale is keeping it going-thank God. That shit they’ve been producing for the last 30• years is total shit.

[@AlexKlitzka-iq9gp]

Looking forward to seeing him next month!

[@gordon4385]

I swear, the dude on the bass was killin' it.

[@nicunsadventures]

Dale Watson is the real deal. Another great song he does is "Where do You Want it?" Real country music talent.

[@steveyraynelson]

Is it on KZbin? I'm gonna get me an education. Did a gig north of Green Bay, he did a set after us, man how good was that?

[@79tazman]

I love this Tune!!

[@ricksantana1016]

Yes I' am hooked! Dale Watson is definitely is and has the Heart of a "PUNKER" and I say that with the utmost complimentary of respect! I truly believe that Dale is the successor of the great ones "George, Johnny and Merle" I look forward to listening to his future works! Dale when you 'BLOW UP" and I know you will, Please sir! Stay a way from the "UNREAL REALITY SHOWS" and I ask with great urgency! no duet's with "kanye west"! lol!!! Dale keep your "AUTHENTICITY-SHARP"! and your "EDGE-SHARPER"!! ALLL THE BEST DALE!!!

[@brothertruth627]

Rick Santana Google I'd rather be an old fart, than a new country turd. Great funny song by Dale.

[@ReverendHellbilly]

How could you not love this?

[@user-fn6zr9pe1y]

Coming to a town near me and I can’t wait!!

[@THEandrewMillet]

Saw him in Portland last night, really great show, support for The Reverend Horton Heat.. Jason D. Williams also on the same bill ..worth every penny and every minute..

[@lapdawg60]

Great songs. Great voice. Great players (all). Great hair! DW has it all going on.

[@raymondcyr1002]

[@oknevals]

Don't care about Austin Shit Limits or country music but, I'm gonna start listening to this guy's music. Seem to be one of few remaining sane people in entertainment.

[@AvenueH]

Just saw Dale tonight at Off Broadway in St. Louis. He of course did this song and we all sang along. Played two rounds of Chicken Sh*t Bingo and he performed a Texas wedding for two local musicians. Great music AND humor too!

[@81kentboy]

man this is country gold

[@looseanus4213]

I love it. I'm drinking right now

[@robertgrider4346]

Off to the Frigidaire, I got some cold 1/2 pints of Bacardi, oh that's rite, ...I don't drink anymore, but I don't drink any less!!😎😵

Dale's copacetic country cool, a quasi-retro jewel--not to mention one hell of a kickass musician and all-aroun gin-yoo-whine guy! [Talked to him at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, CA a number of years ago, and he was gracious as all git out!}

[@Imissthepostoffice]

I agree.

[@irateiconoclast]

Ever see him live? Puts on a great show, and he's got the kind of honesty and integrity you just can't fake!

[@ErinArie540]

Can't wait to see him in person at the Ice House Theatre in Selma, NC on May 29

[@jamesarnott3061]

I just saw him in concert the other night. Holy crap he's ripped

Just saw Dale and the guys at Tomball's Main Street Crossing...I've never seen a band genuinely enjoy themselves and with such a natural interaction with the audience. Dale performed every request back to back, usually with a funny little backstory usually attached! The man is not only a super sexy singer/songwriter, but his (and the guys') LOVE for the genre comes through with every note!!! I can't wait to watch them SHINE again!

[@katsdeelite1200]

I love his whole Affect! LOL!

Then he looks at you like you're stupid.

No place like Texas...Nashville forgot what the term country music means a long time ago...if you're planning a trip to Nashville, save your money, go to Texas where people know how to dance and the shuffle is king!

Kinda got a Paycheck sounding voice. I like it, a lot.

[@garymalcangi7845]

Great music and a really nice guy. check him out at the Broken Spoke, Poodies and the continental club Austin Texas

[@MorteGlory]

I came from the supermega memes but this is honestly great

[@brucecarney4416]

Sure don't hurt that his band plays it the was it's meant to be. The dancers seem to enjoy some good old honkytonk too. Stand up bass, expertly played steel and a fiddle. New c/w isn't any better than new coke was!
