[@denisecrane1327]

If you get a chance to react to Toby Keith and Willie Nelson singing Whiskey for my men and beer for my horses. You won't be disappointed

[@critterwatcher8009]

Willie is the only one left. Kris just passed recently. Since you say you're not too familiar with him here are some high points. He was a Rhodes scholar, flew a helicopter (and used it to catch Johnny Cash's attention), wrote many great songs: "Me and Bobby McGee" made famous by Janice Joplin; "Help me make it thru the night" (I particularly like the duet of that song with his then wife Rita Cooledge), "Sunday morning coming down", "Why me lord".

[@dietmarsteiner1070]

Kris landed with the helicopter in Johnny's garden, gave him a demo tape and said 'listen to it' and Johnny listened!

[@PaulEvans-j7h]

The highwayman is a shiver down the neck and tear in the eye song.

[@seanspielbauer3310]

You have to react to Willie Nelson and Ray Charles singing Seven Spanish Angels

[@kathybwell]

Willie is 91, such a legend and a treasure I watched a video yesterday of Willie and his son Lucas and Willy‘s great granddaughter. God bless Willie, performing at 91 years old

[@dlbeal]

Willie Nelsen's song City of New Orleans

[@musicktx]

Seven Spanish Angels by Willie!!!

[@Rosedach]

Need check out Waylon Jennings songs, "Bob Wills Is Still the King", "I'm a Ramblin' Man", "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way", "Honky Tonk Heroes", "Stop the World (And Let Me Off)" and many other songs. Also, Waylon & Willie did a few songs together.

[@TexasDonna-xu6fq]

"Whiskey River". "Pretty Paper". 2 of my favorite Willie songs!

[@sparpant]

Reggie Young is on guitar and played on loads of sessions mainly in Memphis. Amongst these were “Son of a Preacher Man” by Dusty Springfield, “Suspicious Minds” by Elvis Presley and “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond to name but three.

[@dougieyou]

Steven, as great as these guys are you have to give props to the backup band, they are all first rate musicians and they make what the guys are doing.

[@littleogeechee223]

I freaking love this great song! Always one of my big favorites, and you are reacting to my favorite performance of it. This is so legendary and iconic, and it’s so sad to think that Willie is now the only voice left! God Bless and protect him!

[@StormyPeak]

Waylon Jenning's America is a must! Please listen to it.

[@AuthorLaurieAnnSmith]

I love these men! They were all so talented and gifted in their own right and when they came together to perform as The Highwaymen they were just phenomenal! I would have loved to see them live together but live video is a great way too!! I grew up in New Mexico and loved to horseback ride through the Rocky Mountains and along the Rio Grande river. I was a rock and roll chick that loved other genre's too like country western. I used to spend weekends in Lincoln, NM and Ruidoso as well at Raton up north and trace the old cowboy and outlaw trails because I was fascinated with the history of the Old Wild West. Thanks for another great reaction video!!

You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work.

[@setonhillstudios]

Thank you so much! 😁

[@taniaPBear]

Absolute legends! My dad used to listen to this track so I've always known the lyrics, but then I got screwed over by Bruce❤Willis and 'Die Hard', now I sing 'Yippee Ki Yay' every time, can't stop myself 😂 Thanks for this gem, hadn't seen it before. ✌❤

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

Many of Johnny's tunes have this railroad sound. If you haven't checked it out, checkout his live performance of 'Man in black'.

[@Laura_Martin42]

Willie has so many, Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground, Crazy, Red-headed Stranger/Time of the Preacher album, Mamas Don't Let your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys. So many. The angels will sound like Willie and Dolly when we hear them.

[@littleogeechee223]

Steven, give the great Marty Robbins’ version of this song a listen, too. Incredible!

[@jeffreyflint6286]

No matter what you pick by Willie you win! Same thing with Waylon Jennings.

[@belvagurr403]

Willie with Waylon, MAMAS DON T LET BABIES GROW UP TO BE COWBOYS. Willie’s ALWAYS ON MY MIND is excellent. ON THE ROAD AGAIN, BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN, GEORGIA ON MY MIND, CITY OF NEW ORLEANS, MY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN COWBOYS, ANGEL FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE GROUND, LAST THING I NEEDED FIRST THING THIS MORNING, and SEVEN SPANISH ANGELS with Ray Charles.

[@fixitupchappie1242]

seven Spanish angels Willie and Ray Charles

[@deannajones3849]

I remember watching this on tv!

[@belvagurr403]

Kris Kristopherson RIP, was a janitor at the recording studio when Johnny Cash heard him and saw some of his music he had written. Johnny got to where he wouldn’t record unless Kris was there. Johnny recorded Kris’ SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN, Janis Joplin did ME AND BOBBY MCGEE. WHY ME LORD was a big hit. Then there was HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT, FOR THE GOOD TIMES, ANGELS FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE GROUND, JODY AND THE KID, and THE TAKER.

[@sheraven1]

Willie and his son Lukas singing Just Breathe🎉. Or Willie and Merle Haggard “It’s all going to Pot”

[@setonhillstudios]

Appreciate the recommendations! 😁

[@heyhey1956]

The original version was done by Stan Jones was recorded in late 1948 or early 1949. A recording by Stan Jones and his Death Valley Rangers was issued on Mercury 5320 in May 1949. Fellow songwriter Eden Ahbez sent the song to Burl Ives, who recorded his own version in early 1949.

[@travisdean8794]

They as individuals have so many great songs. I’ve heard em all. Nobody could pick one that I wouldn’t like. As the Highwaymen, they really blew the doors off of the super groups. So much talent on that stage.

[@BryanMcdonough-gl9hm]

Rest In Peace to some of The Highwaymen band Waylon Jennings 1937-2002 Johnny Cash 1932-2003 Chips Moman 1937-2016 Reggie Young 1936-2010 J R Cobb 1944-2019 and Kris Kristofferson 1936-2024, at 4:11 Reggie Young nailed it on the guitar solo, I like how Waylon, Johnny, Kris and Willie look at him as he was playing the guitar

[@jeffreyflint6286]

A total badass cover of this jewel!👍👍.

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

I just recently saw a video from Willie that I think was at his 80th birthday party. I believe he just had his 90th not too long ago. Anyway, Willie sings it with his good friend, Snoop. It's called, Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die. It's fantastic!!

[@MommaBird52]

Lucas Nelson sings Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground and sounds just like his dad!

[@TexasMagnolia]

Their Concerts were the Best! They not only played Highwaymen songs but, each individual’s top hits! Willie Nelson - Whiskey River - Austin City Limits Waylon Jennings - Lonesome Onry & Mean - from Greatest Hits

[@lunchboxradio5890]

This is a very old song, probably written in the 1930's or 40's. The first version of it I ever heard was done by Gene Autry, though I'm pretty sure it was a cover. He actually had a movie of the same name. Interesting fact about Gene Autry, he is the only person in history to receive 5 stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Absolute legend.

[@Diogenes741]

Pancho and Lefty by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. It's been my favorite for as long as I can remember. Also check out Marty Robbins El paso if you enjoy songs with stories or ballads

[@lunchboxradio5890]

That's Waylon on the guitar. Hank Williams, Jr paid homage to Waylon's skills in his song "Waylon's Guitar". Hank is someone you should check out, don't think I've seen anything from him here yet. "A Country Boy Can Survive", "Dinosaur", "Family Tradition" are some good places to start.

[@hackermusic3355]

Great song. I used to play that song all the time when I first started playing the guitar. It was written in 1948 so it was already an old song when I was a kid in the 60s.

[@jefferywarburton2116]

This song is the real Legend. I like when they do The road goes on forever, 1995.

[@EdithMaxim]

Saw them in concert back when. Front row. They were great. All legends. You should check out Waylon Jennings. Try "I've Always Been Crazy, It's Kept Me From Going Insane."

[@jamesbarrie2458]

Steven, since watching your channel I have become a country music fan. This was top quality.

[@setonhillstudios]

That’s awesome!! So glad you are enjoying the channel! 😁

[@gregcissell345]

I know alot of people already know but Waylon Jennings did good ol boys the Dukes of Hazard Theme song.

[@glennelfmann3143]

Now you need to check out The Highwomen, an American country music supergroup composed of Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris, and Amanda Shires. Their cover of Fleetwood Mac's The Chain is amazing.

[@brianb8060]

The song was written by Stan Jones in 1948.

[@dietmarsteiner1070]

The Highwaymen were a legendary supergroup! Waylon Jennings (+2002), Johnny Cash (+2003), Kris Kristofferson (+2024) & Willie Nelson (the last member alive)!

[@anitawright7169]

Love this so very much. Love your reaction!

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks so much! ❤️ So glad you enjoyed it! 😁

[@dizzle7558]

Waylon did the Dukes of Hazard song..

[@TheRamuzio]

Waylon Jennings - Lukenbach Texas - start there

[@jefferywarburton2116]

One song to look at from Willie, and Merle Haggard is Poncho and Lefty. Another one with Waylon would be Black jack county chains.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

Willie has big hits like 'You were always on my mind', 'On the road again' & 'Blue eyes cryin' in the rain' & they are all great, but my fav by him is 'Angel flying too close to the ground'. Willie is 91 & is still making music. Kris is known for his amazing writing & he has written several hits for other people. He wrote & released both 'Me & Bobby McGee' (written for Janis Joplin) & 'Sunday morning coming down'. (written for Johnny Cash). His versions of these two songs are very different from the artist he wrote them for, but are just as great. You should try doing a comparrison for fun.

[@Ozarkprepper643]

There you go and here I am Lol Ghost Riders in the Sky has been around since the late 40s Johnny Cash version is probably the most well known though. The Outlaws also covered the song. Bit their live versions is a little muddy. Appreciate you covering the songs an artist I've suggested in the past. I'm sitting out here on the backhoe tendering ( burning) house sized piles of Deadwood. It's part of the fire mitigation I need to do in the fall and spring in the Ozarks. I see there's a lot of catching up to do on your catalog. Things have been rather hectic since the flood in the Appalachians. In the early 70s in high school I joined CAP (Civil Air Patrol). Mostly so that if I was drafted I could go in as a officer.lol Wasn't drafted but I did get my Private Pilot with instrument rating through them. (That also opened doors) Through the decades I have flown more search and rescue missions that I could recall. Most of the time it is with the STOL bush plane. This time I used the helicopter that's typically at the Arizona Ranch. So I've been/ was flying relief for a week... Have had a lot of catch up chores. Now caught up. Which unfortunately for you means I'll be commenting again.😂 🚜🤠🐂

I missed ya and glad to have you back!! 😁

"(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend" is a cowboy-styled country/western song written in 1948 by American songwriter Stan Jones (There are many variations fo the song)

[@michellejackson6679]

Kris was an amazing songwriter.. his list of hits is phenomenal.. RIP Kris... he was the last of the group to pass except for Willie.. and it was only like last month. Waylon.. the youngest passed away first.. diabetes I think

[@Starchild4084]

Waylon is a good one ! There’s a great story but sad story with Waylon and Buddy Holly especially when The day the music died!

[@setonhillstudios]

I’ve since checked out “Never Could Toe The Mark” here on the channel and can’t wait to hear more from him!

[@Starchild4084]

@@setonhillstudios Waylon and Buddy were from the Lubbock Texas area Waylon was Buddy bassist while on his 1959 winter tour in lowa and that night Buddy Holly The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens died in a plane crash see Waylon gave up his seat on the airplane to the Big Bopper when Buddy found out he told Waylon I hope you freeze on the tour bus and Waylon then told Buddy I hope your darn airplane crashes… Waylon was devastated when he heard the news and blamed himself for years over it. Waylon has a song called A long time ago where he mentions giving up his seat in the song…

@@Starchild4084 Oh my goodness! That is wild! 😳

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

Hey, dude! I know this song's been covered a hundred times, and they're all really good, but this is the one. (Actually, the best one ever is Cash and Nelson doing this song for MTV's Unplugged. That one will keep you up nights. As a kid, I was too immature to appreciate Cash, but at one point, along came Art Bell's radio show "Coast To Coast AM", all about the paranormal, and this, and "The Highwayman" were frequent choices for bumper music. How else was I gonna find out that Cash was a proponent of all things spooky? Mr. Kristofferson just passed recently, (I knew him more as an actor than a singer, but he did write "Me and Bobby McGee" for Janis and about a hundred other hits.) and I'm unfamiliar with Mr Jennings' work, but I heard him interviewed one time (by Art Bell) and wow, did that man have some stories. Road stories that would make Axl Rose cry. And if by some chance you have yet to hear Cash's cover of "Hurt", you're doing yourself a disservice. Transcendent. Yeah, this one's good. The Unplugged version is better. Love your channel!

[@setonhillstudios]

My reaction to “Hurt” is on the channel and it hit deep!! Thanks for all the insight and hanging out with me as usual!! 🤘🏻

[@lefty3141591]

Great reaction. I'm going to make a couple of suggestions. Now that you've heard the lyrics in this version of "Ghost Riders In The Sky" check out the Glenn Campbell and Roy Clark duet of this song. For the ones in this group I'll add my suggestions: Willie Nelson "I Never Cared For You" 2009 version. Waylon Jennings "Ain't Living Long Like This" Kris Kristofferson "Why Me Lord" Johnny Cash "Jackson" duet with June Carter Cash All of these have catalogs where any song you pick out will be fire.

PLEASE, look into Kris much more. The man is a pure genius. You will be blown away by his life, his song writing, his career(s), and his legacy.

I can just picture your wife, with a knowing smile on her face, saying "I told you so." :) All four of these great country legends have also been in movies that you would call "bangers". I won't list them here, search on their names followed by "filmography". As a teaser, Willy, Johnny, Waylon, and Kris all co-starred in the 1986 western "Stagecoach".

[@carefreescot]

Why not listen to a much older version of this song, done by Burl Ives in 1949 - he is well known for novelty songs like The Ugly Bug's Ball and I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly, which were popular for children way back, but he had another side too. I believe his was the first cover version of this song after the original was released in 1948, and is rather different with a more haunting feel to it.

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Kris was a great songwriter. Wasn’t a particularly great singer so therefore even though he did sing he got more notoriety as a songwriter and also acted in movies. You should check out the songs Live Forever and The Road Goes On Forever by them. Also do Sunday Morning Coming Down. Written by Kris but Johnny’s version is the best. I’m like you in the sense I wasn’t into country per se and still not too big a fan of newer country pop, but old school country is really good. Hank Williams, Conway Twitty, George Jones, Lefty Frizzell, Webb Pierce, and of course these guys together and individually. ,

[@debjorgo]

There was a difference between Country music and Outlaw Country. This was outlaw country. Johnny, the original outlaw. Waylon Jennings is definitely someone you should know. He was in Buddy Holly's band. Waylon was supposed to be in the plane that crashed and killed Buddy, but he gave his seat up to an ailing Big Bopper. Great songs were Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way?, I've Always Been Crazy, This Time, I'm a Rambling Man, Don't You Think This Outlaw Business Done Got Out of Hand, Theme from the Dukes of Hazard....

[@susanlosey9511]

You should listen to The Gambler by Kris K.

[@charlenezack37]

Waylon was a Cricket and with Buddy Holly on that deadly tour. Stories are he "lost" or gave up his plane seat To Buddy. ( A memory that Probably didn't help his drug problems) Shooter Jennings is his son with Jessie Colter ( I'm Not Lisa fame)

[@elaineharn9527]

Kris Kristoffersen was more of a songwriter and actor, than he was an artist/singer. But, he has sung some amazing tunes too. He was on the far side of Johnny Cash, in the video. Waylon Jennings was between Cash and Nelson.
