FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Patty Loveless "You Don't Even Know Who I Am"

[@skywarrior00]

Just to add my vote for "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive". Patty is a coal miner's daughter, just like her cousin Loretta Lynn. She lived through watching members of her family and loved ones falling to black lung. You will not regret hearing her story in this song.

[@michelleortega1514]

The best version is when she sang it with Chris stapelton at the awards show

[@stk0308]

@@michelleortega1514 No, the best one is where she sings it herself with appropriate accompaniment. Chris rockchurched it up, like he always does. It's fine, but I'd rather hear Patty sing it like she does.

[@candacewillis4443]

Yes, please!

[@angieday5183]

best version is from 2001 Austin City Limits show

[@somestupidname3266]

There is a video on here of her doing You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive live for some sort of tv showcase. She spends a solid two or three minutes telling the audience why the song means so much to her and about her family history. Then she proceeds to give probably her best vocal performance ever. It is amazing to watch and actually really informative. The way she uses different mouth shapes or subtle changes in the tension of her jaw to raise and lower notes is crazy.

[@isg01010]

I'll jump on the "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" bandwagon! The live version is fantastic where she gives her background. It's is almost like Darryl Scott wrote the song with her story in mind.

[@davidcrockett4589]

I too will put my vote in for "you'll never leave harlem alive"

[@rickyprice7597]

Yes, this is the one for you, if you enjoy a short commentary before she sings.

[@joelrubinson9973]

Definitely you'll never leave harlan alive. Patty is my all time favorite country female singer. She has that high lonesome sound that cuts like a knife like nobody else. She is royalty. BTW, she does this same song as a duet with Chris stapleton who does the man's perspective part. She came out of retirement to do that for a Kentucky benefit for those ravaged by natural disasters.

[@johnsonpaul1914]

Add my vote for this song and "You'll never leave Harlan alive" with Chris Stapleton and the "Kentucky Rising" benefit in, I believe, 2022. Patty came out of retirement (since 2009) at Chris's request for this most soulful concert.

[@joelrubinson9973]

@@johnsonpaul1914 They also performed it at the CMA awards. It was a masterclass for this generation of top singers to hear Patty (the applause at the pauses in the singing was just great). IMHO, the best female country singer ever with that piercing high lonesome sound. In her 60s and retired, she still has got it. So best male singer on the planet (any genre) and best female singer...so amazing.

[@johnsonpaul1914]

@@joelrubinson9973 I have watched that one also. I guess I like the rising concert because of Morgane's obvious adoration and respect for Patty. Morgane Stapelton is a severely under rated artist in her own right. Both performances are just some of the best music ever.

[@lorrikammien3719]

I had the pleasure of seeing Patti live early inh

[@terryyoung3225]

The steel guitar is producing the high pitched sounds you're hearing. In the hands of a skilled player, it is a wonderful instrument and it can really tug at your heart strings in a sad song. Patty mostly sings Bluegrass and Gospel now but she excels in any genre. A wonderful and sometimes forgotten talent.

[@hjoy213]

I've seen Patty grab her heart when the steel guitar plays. It seems like she really loves it.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Patty Loveless - You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive (live - Bluegrass)

[@leahlister6474]

Another vote for ‘You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive’. I’m a coal miner’s daughter and that is such an amazing song!

[@BLB272]

My favourite song of hers is ( How can I help you say goodbye) . This song came out when my mom was diagnosed with Cancer. It was one of the things that helped me get through my mom's treatments and her death of Cancer.

[@troysmom2132]

That is a tear jerker for real. My mom died from ovarian cancer so I feel your connection to that song.

[@dwhunter8904]

🔥🔥🔥Ms. Patty has that mountain soul, it cannot be faked , bought taught or copied. She just has it. Some songs of her that are a must listen are You will never leave Harlan alive That ain’t the Grandpa that I know How can I help you say goodbye Nothin but the wheel. She has the best most pure voice in country music.

[@roderickmacsween2820]

Patty Loveless is underrated.

[@lauraclark92]

Ohhh Blame It On Your ... Heart, (sassy!) Chains and If My Heart Had Windows, so beautiful... I love all of these from her. This one here is beautiful yet sad but true for lots of folks.

[@brendaclark8344]

Definitely "Blame It on Your Lying, Cheating, Cold Deadbeating, Two-Timing, Double Dealing, Mean Mistreating, Loving Heart"

[@kittystwink]

My favorite 90’s Lady. So much talent.

[@joywalker4918]

I grew up around Patty Loveless back in the day she was the lead singer for my dad's band she sung Rock back then she loved Linda Ronstadt the Eagles things like that my family is very musical so I would sing with her when my dad would be playing we would go to an old barn and just have so much fun because they were really loud so they found an old barn to play in my dad and my sister passed away two years ago on the same day 12 hours apart.. I'm the last of my family I miss him so much I really miss my dad playing his guitar he was so amazing Patty Loveless said in an interview once that her best guitarist was my dad his name was Randy Walker and by the way she is so incredibly nice love you Patty I always will.. Love Joy

[@jackharrison4327]

What a awesome insight about her! It seems I hear some rock in her voice when she sings some blue moons a go on an older album.

[@joywalker4918]

@@jackharrison4327 I agree with you I do believe she still has that in her I think she's probably a little bit of a badass still....

[@taycash58xbl76]

You really need to do the duet of this song with Chris stapleton. After she had retired from singing and performing for almost a decade. Chris personally called and asked her to come to his show in the town she lived in

[@davidyerkey7425]

Vince Gill and Patty Loveless "When I Call Your Name" is another GREAT song you will LOVE ❤

[@MommaBird52]

"So blame it on your lying, cheating Cold, dead beatin, two timing, double dealing Mean, mistreatin, lovin' heart" This is the chorus to Blame It on Your Heart -- a great song to sing at the top if your lungs riding with friends in a convertible!

[@elishawilliams5407]

Yes yes yes

[@pamelachappell1089]

GREAT one!

[@debibailey2968]

One of my very favorite country singers. Her voice can move mountains! It’s soul shaking!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@chadlavallee323]

Patty is simply the best. Always been my favorite female country singer. Thanking you Britt for discovering this beautiful treasure.

Finally patti gets nominated for country music hall of fame ‼️‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤

[@montymetcalfe1982]

Thank you for doing Patty, please react to You’ll never leave Harlan alive, it’s another story that will hit you in the heart. Love her so much

[@paulmechem5327]

Patty Loveless and Ralph Stanley singing “pretty Polly”….. well worth listening to.

[@marenehanson5526]

Old Country at its best

[@jealousjelly]

I'll give a rousing thumbs up to those who've suggested Patty's version of You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive. Back in the days when folks wore socks, that song literally (or figuratively) knocked my socks off. And Britt, as much as you love the background story, you must do the live version where Patty tells exactly what the song means to her. It's heartbreakingly beautiful.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

She is a blue-collar queen of that era of country for sure. Love her to death.

[@jeffspeedy11]

Do the live version of You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive. I think you'll appreciate it.

[@sethdarby708]

the high pitch sound was the Steel Guitar and my most favorite instrument. i love the crying of the steel guitar in every song it is in.

[@donerickson1954]

No, he's saying sorry because he's so used to saying it to keep the peace, whether he was wrong or not he always was sorry. This is a song about 2 people growing apart, because neither appreciates the struggle of the others life. She only sees her struggle with keeping the home and not being appreciated for the effort, he only his struggle to leave each day, all day to come home to be under appreciated too. they are blinded to each others pain by their own.

[@f150bft]

You will need to do a reaction to her "You'll never leave Harlan alive" next. Such a talented lady that spent some of her career as a back up vocalist. But wow can she carry her own.

[@ronaldtucker1262]

I have gone to see Patty Loveless twice. She is the only female artist that I have seen in concert.

[@OhioPrepperOne]

I absolutely LOVE that you have discovered Patty Loveless. I met her at a Nashville Fan Fair probably 35 years ago and she is my absolute favorite Country Music Singer. IMO she has more talent than just about anyone in the business, her vocals touch me deeply, quite a bit actually like Angelina Jordan’s vocals touch me.

[@quintondees4501]

These lyrics....... genius

[@rjb346]

Just a word of appreciation for your work and effort to produce such wonderful reactions. To provide a bit of feedback to you, you are providing much enjoyable entertainment to this 77 year old man.

[@marenehanson5526]

They probably don’t realize how many old folk spend time listening to these reactions. Back when music was special. ❤

[@keithschultz4187]

Listen to " You can feel bad if it makes you feel better" and Here i am. there is really no bad P,L song. Love your reactions, keep up the great work.

[@troysmom2132]

It's about growing apart in your marriage. Patty is a master and she 100% deserved that Album of the Year award.

[@chadbeermann2744]

Gretchen Peters is the genius behind these lyrics. Legendary songwriter.

[@REMEMBER1776]

"Lonely Too Long" is one of her best...😊😊

[@quintondees4501]

What a treasure she is, wow, I've loved her voice since the minute I heard it forty years ago

[@danielh.3223]

Chris Stapleton asked her to sing that song with him in one of his shows. She had retired to take care of her ailing husband but said she couldn't say no to Chris. They did great together. Two amazing voices on a really great song.

[@dustinalbright110]

The most gorgeous voice in country music

[@trishdaniel6196]

OTHER PATTY HITS ARE: BLAME IT ON YOUR HEART, HOW CAN I HELP YOU SAY GOODBYE, LONET TO LONG, AND MANY OTHERS....FYI:Is Patty Loveless related to Loretta Lynn? She grew up in a Kentucky town called Butcher Hollow. She's not only cousin to Crystal Gale and Loretta Lynn, she's a coal miner's daughter. THAT HIGH PITCHED SOUND YOU ASK ABOUT IS FROM A STEEL GUITAR...USED A LOT IN COUNTRY MUSIC.....

[@Gutslinger]

I listened to a ton of classic country music throughout my life, but I don't think I've ever heard one of Patty Loveless' solo songs.

[@audiemccall5332]

Patty is still singing and recently preformed with Chris Stapleton in a Kentucky artist show

How do I help you to say goodbye is a real tear jerker

Patty Loveless is THHE BOMB her talent is ridiculous something to hear do listen to You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive and so many more

[@sharonstark1014]

Other good songs by Patty are "When Fallen Angels Fly", "blame it on my heart" and "Lonely too long." Patty is such a great singer and so talented. She was born in Pikeville, KY and started singing and writing songs at age 11 with her brother. thanks for posting.

[@Deckrat]

Just goes to show that there really are 2 sides to every story and we rarely get the whole perspective from just one of them. Great song, thanks for the reaction!

[@minniemomarvin5735]

Britt baby girl my partner and I watch you daily….we ADORE you and your insights. Big favor. We are struggling to hear your sweet voice lately. We are 63 with some hearing loss. Your music is very audible but we switch between turning up to hear your voice and turning down the music due to the sound differences. Love you and keep up the awesome job.

[@Gutslinger]

Her and Vince Gill have a song called "When I Call Your Name". I don't know if they've performed it live. But I do remember there's a video of them singing the chorus when they were on the George Jones Show from the 90's. The George Jones Show was great. They he and guests sat around and talked, and occasionally would sing a song. Full episodes are uploaded on KZbin.

[@brentb1843]

When men don't know what they're sorry for, he's being really honest and doesn't understand. Men needs flash cards to communicate. Be kind ladies, it's frustrating for us.

[@timpike4515]

Just tell us!😂

[@hjoy213]

If you want to truly hear her voice in an amazingly authentic light, listen to, "Sounds of Loneliness," on her Mountain Soul album. She wrote it as a teenager and delivers it with the high lonesome mountainous sound. It's sweet perfection!

[@angiemclain4411]

You really have to hear You’ll Never leave Harlan Alive!! Oh my goodness it is the best story song ever and in my top favorite songs of all time. Many have done it but Patty Loveless owns it hands down!!

There's a Patty Loveless song about a husband leaving his wife called Nothing but the Wheel. Amazing song. I recommend you do it. I'm going to second a lot of others on You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive.

[@andybradshaw5971]

First time I heard this song, I listened to it three times straight. So refreshing to hear a lyric describing both people's perspectives, rather than "woman good - man bad" or the other way around.

[@stevesnow315]

High notes provided by a pedal steel guitar. Imho the second most beautiful instrument ever. Behind the human voice. I love the song "Nothing But The Wheel".

That sharp whistling u hear is the steel guitar and another song by Patty that’s a must is “How do I help u to say goodbye”

Check out The Night's Too Long, from her early arrow with Columbia Records. And I love all of her stuff but I'm just saying man, that's where she got noticed. And had so many hits. The night's too long is an Anthem for women. And really if you think about it everybody. And it was a hit. I think you would love it.

This song makes me cry and I have a wonderful relationship of 28 years ❤

[@matthewdooley7855]

That high-pitched bit at the beginning is steel guitar; it can make some amazing sounds, normally goes lower with a more honky-tonk sound. Lots of people live in marriages where they're really just splitting rent on a place to sleep while they work, or work out, or whatever. For different twist on spouses not appreciating each other, check out Brad Paisley "I'm Gonna Miss Her".

I've always thought he meant he *was* genuinely sorry, not for any *specific* thing, but for...........all of it. How he'd been to her maybe. That he didn't "see her". But then says , basically, "Well maybe you're right. You don't see me either. " Great react as always, Britt! ❤

[@mikejenkins1972]

A wonderfull and true reaction... as usual! ;) You should try out Patty's "You don't seem to miss me", featuring George Jones singing Harmony Vocals. :) Or as a fun uptempo song, "I try to think about Elvis".

You Will Never Leave Harlan Alive is a must!!! And try I Think About Elvis for a fun song.

I just discovered your channel after watching your reaction to Go Rest High on That Mountain with Vince and Patty at George Jones' funeral. I'm so glad you listened to Patty's song! I've loved her music since forever. You should listen to her song Nothing But The Wheel, and really anything else she's recorded. You can't go wrong. She did a duet with George Jones before he passed... I wish I could remember the name of that song... but you'll find it. It's great!
