Almost NEVER hear any steel guitar in US "country music" any more . Leave to these two Brits to show us how it SHOULD be.............or USED to be !! Love then both. And rest in peace , John !

[@jmartin9785]

[@Professorfate01]

MAN, now this is what I call great music. Dang it don't get any better folks.

[@walknsteel]

This tune playing brought my wife out of the kitchen. She says this takes her back to her childhood when this was on the radio when she was young. She now is s fan of your music, C & C, Morro Bay, CA

[@dennisboyd1712]

Yes Fun Happy Sad music from David's pedalsteel & John's guitar!

[@stigbengtsson7026]

Love that old real country and western music. Best wh. from Sweden.

[@autopro-houston6792]

Ashame John has passed and no longer playing with David. He will be truly missed by all.

[@johndortch1005]

I remember riding in the back of our Chevy Kingswood Estate Wagon heading to the lake and my dad listening to country music and Wynn Stewart would always end up singing this song. What memories. David, again, thanks for the memories. I haven't heard such great steel guitar since the old Connie Smith songs.

[@jewelsorrells7499]

Outstandingly beautiful

[@ronaldstark760]

I can watch and listen to you guys all night ........

[@mosrite60]

David and John are decades ahead of "New Country". This where its at folks. Classic country the way it should be.

[@ndshoreful1]

Just my kind of music. Desmond from Australia.

[@amypuno8038]

I simply love listening to your beautiful music and the two of you playing is awesome! The tempo is so nice, an invitation to dance. Keep this duet coming ... thanks

[@SuperJourneyer]

John Stannard died a few years ago.

[@rocketeerPM2500]

Geoff 1 second ago RIP John, your strong yet so sweet guitar style perfectly complimented David's pedal steel wizardry. You are forever missed.

[@jerrywatkins4091]

Love it. I sit listening, enjoying and smiling, and then they finish, look at one another and smile. That makes it perfect. The angels are smiling too.

[@MrGrahamcracker9]

Your music should be on country music radio here in America. Sad that so much of today's country music has changed so much and seems to be with out the Pedal Steel.Guitar. Thank goodness for KZbin! Dave and John, you two are the greatest. Keep up your fine work.

[@tandemwings4733]

YOU TWO.........UNREAL.

[@clrhirschi7543]

[@brianzaborowski2724]

I miss John, why did he have to leave us so soon? Excellent guitarist!

[@pharmerdavid1432]

[@banjocue]

I love the way you guys play off each other, I had that experience for about 26 yrs with Billy Blake in our band, we were twin brothers with different mothers. then he got cancer and it killed him, the music almost died that day for me. Thank you so much for what you do guys, keep it up and enjoy

[@billbryan4820]

[@energystarguy]

You guys should be inundateting the country music world in the US every day.

[@wastl700]

Sitting at home after work.... Best relaxing music for me. In my car, too! Greetings from Germany!!!

[@jameshennighan8193]

AWESOME Awesome presentation of Dale Noe's classic...... Wynn Stewart's ...with the late great Don Rich and Tom Brumley (on steel)...so essentially The Buckaroos is quite something in performance terms.........and of course Connie Smith's rendition is a classic. Perhaps one of the most underated versions is that by Nancy Siantra, where she exhibits a pace and understanding of the song that can't be bettered. Her clarity in diction that is also hard to beat.......but then almost everything Nancy Sinatra has done is ascrystal clear as we would ever wish. This goes back to her work with Lee Hazlewood.....where 'Some Velvet Morning' is simply off the scale as far as songs go. James Hennighan Yorkshire, England

[@gusskalias5759]

They sure can make that steel sing & talk.

[@6stringwood]

Its time for America to take another lesson from the brits...this is country music at its best. Hey David & John, Thanks for bringing that goodness back to country music. When America stopped playing this style using the crying steel and Telecaster that ended country music. When you boys are ready Nashville, Tennessee and Dallas, Texas are waiting with open arms. Thanks for sharing your great pick'n! Jim

[@lenaryder6325]

Jim McFalls l9ve them both.

[@lenaryder6325]

Im not a big country music fan, BUT this is truly nice !! good beer drinking music and its a shame that country music doesn't give steel pedal guitar enough play these days... Probably becoming a lost art..

[@Paperrosie]

Fantastic!! It`s awesome! You guys can`t be beat! It`s a very pretty world here today and to hear this made it even better! Keep on doing what you do, its great!!

[@pawnshopnut]

Hi Dave and John. You two sure do compliment each other. I am trying to learn the pedal steel and must admit that I get down sometimes. When I do all I have to do is get on you tube and listen to you and John or listen to you by yourself and I gives me inspiration to get back at it. I hope that I am not to old to learn a little more. Listening to you play Poor Boy Blues gives me hope. Would like to see you tab that one and make a teaching video of it.

[@lloydc3742]

Two good friends making music and having fun doing it, great sound !

[@johnlane1200]

Man you guys are just great....Love the humor also....Ya gotta be half Newfoundlander or else ...Of which I'm sure me great great grand dad came from England and to Newfoundland....for which again I'm so very proud........All the best ......John

As a guitar player I really enjoyed this. Very nice presentation. Too many wann-a-bees on the web and either they aren't that good or their recording is not good, Yours is very clear and crisp. Thanks

[@kennedykiser557]
