The Queen

[@aaronsilver6567]

Absolutely 👍🏻

[@oldgrizz8720]

It is as if Sierra is a time traveler from another time. What an incredible voice and unique talent she is.

[@thomasp3360]

Love her with full band

[@andynovak9838]

This young lady is a MONSTER SINGER -- unbelievable, wonderful traditional singer who adds her own flavor and style to this Kitty Wells song. Love it!

[@adamrichards3174]

I think even Chris Scruggs was surprised there at the end... Sierra's the best thing to happen to real straight-from-the-heart country in a very long time.

[@jp-a1a729]

My best friend’s father in law, JD Miller wrote that song in response to Hank Thompson’s hit “The Wild Side of Life” ❤

[@alan4sure]

And both copied the melody from "Great Speckled Bird" so they only wrote lyrics.

[@jp-a1a729]

@@alan4sure JD Millet was more than just write lyrics.

[@alan4sure]

@@jp-a1a729 not on this song though. That melody came long before Hank or JD wrote lyrics to their songs.

I just love how she make every cover her very own....she is fantastic.

[@JamesSterling]

Sierra Ferrell, making Kitty Wells proud. She nailed it.

[@robt5818]

Thank you so much! I am instantly transported to a mythical time and place, possibly near 1949 and heaven.

[@seanmellows1348]

Fantastic, timeless voice. Sierra Ferrell is a legend in the making.

[@apborja8322]

Shades of kitty wells in her voice

[@stephenchechowitz1432]

Country Music Lives. Thank God for the Beautiful angel with a heaven sent Voice. We pray the crooked record execs. Do not spoil it ....

[@papawoody9597]

My monitor suddenly changed to black and white, that's the power of Sierra's voice.

[@wenyenchang7881]

Sierra Ferrell should release an album for this song; it's the best version I've ever heard.😘

[@someguy4505]

Fantastic

[@gabrieldunne0]

She takes a solo with her own voice at the end !! What a vocalist :))) Lovely playing from Kenny also ;)

[@teriw56]

Mountain songbird mixing with county royalty. You go girl.

[@ericstauffacher4357]

A real living angel.

[@danbernstein4694]

One hell of a pickup band!

[@shawngabriel7397]

She sounds so like patsy Montana here, so beautiful.

[@honeysaltwater8718]

Amazing cover! So happy to have come across this video!

[@N9CQX]

Perfect country!

[@timwebb8780]

Great singer just found her will be telling all my friends in London.a great talent.....

[@DevilDogDen1775]

I haven't had a cold one in a long time, but listening to Sierra, I believe that it's time to "pop a top".... ❤❤❤❤

[@denniswyse3590]

Brings back the old days gone by. Sierra your voice makes good O'le boys melt where they stand. Awsome band too.

[@MrPhilfridge]

Just fantastic !

[@SempreGumby]

That voice is out of the past come back to us again. Thanking God.

[@gmwPaul]

Amazing. She's come so far.. Thanks for breaking this out and getting it up on KZbin

[@acousticarchivefortwayne930]

Hey that's Kenny Vaughn on the other guitar! You sounded great Sierra!

[@johnnydee5658]

One of the greatest!

[@DaddySturgill]

Simply the best

[@darkhinge]

I wish I was there

[@timtimmons2715]

Reminiscent of the old country dance music that I grew up dancing to in the late 50s and early 60s. It is still some of the best country swing you can dance to. TT (of course my opinion)

[@boonesboroughbeachboy9341]

Wow, sierra and Chris that is music gold. 2 of the most talented artists ever

[@genngeorge9909]

Finally gonna get to see her in Chicago. Her music has brought me a great deal of happiness.

[@walterpiper8947]

Discovered her a week after she came through town. How was the show?

[@genngeorge9909]

@@walterpiper8947 It was the best show I've seen in decades. It frustrates me personally that she's not more famous. LOL.

[@BanjoBrasel]

Damn she is so good.

[@russellhickman2453]

She was amazing in Tulsa Oklahoma last night

[@darrenstettner5381]

There are not many people I’m a fanboy for but I would be super stoked to see Sierra Ferrell in person. Not even in concert or anything, just a chance run in doing normal daily errands.

[@dgear5222]

Amazing how Sierra does the old tunes. This version along with Terri Clarks are fabulous, love the interpretation.

[@edhurt7174]

Man this is fantastic. Thank you and can’t wait to see you in April, Denver Colorado

[@LiamLeknuk]

Super terrific job!!!!! Wow

[@theolachapman6126]

Wonderful voice great job love it

[@fretfix1]

My heart just plopped on to the floor...but was resuscitated by that Guild hollow body:)

[@jfinester]

X-175 with Franz single-coil pickups. Underrated guitar!

[@johnnydee5658]

In the right hands..... Kenny Vaughn's hands!

[@davekeller2798]

Sierra has the makings of accomplished entertainer. Her style and voice is remember of yesterday's which now with the older generation is a fond memory.. Should she stay with this sound and older style , she may not achieve the notarity that she could by performing her current style. I know it's hard to not conform to the " modern style " of music. They all sound the same, but there is a place of acknowledgement you just got to keep trying. Sierra, does have a voice like Dolly Pardon.. KEEP WORKING ON IT

[@whitetrashwilly]

I just can’t get enough of sierra, her voice and her charisma are just unstoppable

[@juleswins3]

That might be the best version of that song I’ve ever heard.

[@Twang-Train]

Wonderful everyone!

[@funone8716]

Chris is rightfully besides himself!

[@user-ek1qt2le5n]

Awesome! Wish there had been a Sierra to duet with Hank Williams!

[@maryalice5357]

Do you have any more? Sierra slays. What a talent!

[@liketanyanot]

She just had her Grand Ole Opry debut! Just search her name and Grand Ole Opry here on YT, it’s amazing!!!

[@wrldprincess]

I am such a fan of her

[@fatboy0817]

Wow!

[@stevenwatson2699]

Well done!

[@brandonwaterworth8339]

Oh yeah!

[@arielzelaya5784]

kitty wells walked so sierra could run

[@featheredcoyote5477]

Is that Andy Gibson on the pedal steel? Holy shit!

[@100perdido]

Kitty Wells would approve this.

[@johnmurray2214]

Hey this is a family show 😂

[@leecrowell3198]

I see Kenny Vaughan too.

[@johnnydee5658]

Also ... you can here him miles away...

[@martindoberleit4546]

Great music folks. Can anyone tell me about the kind of drum brush playing attached at the double bass? Never saw this and looks genius to me. Thanks.

[@oemusik]

WOHOOO!

[@cptntwang]

How good is that? Fantastic

[@mikem1509]

she was born to sing these type songs, flawless.

[@roberthastings708]

Is that Kenny Vaughn in the shadows? What a treat. Kenny and Chris with Sierra on vocals.

[@mikedebe8358]

Sure looks like him

[@teriw56]

Cousin Kenny

@@mikedebe8358 Sounds like him too !

[@banba317]

Sounding incredible as usual! I do miss Josie though!

[@edwardammon293]

NICE

[@jfinester]

She sounds like a young Kitty Wells, but with better intonation. Great feel from the rhythm section too! And I dig the old Guild X-175 that the lead guitarist’s got!

[@darrylheisey4948]

She reminds me of June Carter!

[@grekygrek]

God she is so.... Angelic. Lol

[@rabokarabekian409]

Before there was Loretta, there was Kitty Wells, and Wanda Jackson. Roy Acuff detested both of em. Bless his cotton-pickin' heart.

She's so fucking good

They can keep Taylor swift this real female country singing.

[@johnshelton9441]

She is good but nobody sings this like Miss Kitty.

[@johnshelton9441]

I agree.... I've never heard anyone come close to Miss Kitty.

[@Donaldcon]

Am I watching the reincarnation of kitty wells? My lord she nailed it

[@arman6119]

ol' country.....as good as "jazz"......imo

[@oliviaweiss994]

I absolutely adore sierra but the dude in the fake red jacket with the fake white fringe who is faking playing the guitar and faking leading the band is NOT her vibe and you can tell. Lol. He’s not mine either.

[@iamryanman]

You might want to research who the “fake red jacket guy”’is then come back and apologize

[@karynjohnson8275]

@@iamryanman No kidding. Nashville royalty.

[@brandonelam9321]

That guy is Chris Scruggs and he plays bass in Marty Stuart's band. He is one of the best guitar players you will ever see and the only reason he plays bass with Marty Stuart is because he'd make Marty and Kenny look like buskers (kidding. Mostly.) But seriously, Chris Scruggs is honky tonk royalty. And this was filmed at American Legion Post 82 in Nashville, where every Tuesday is Honky Tonk Tuesday. They take their traditional country music very seriously and you never know who might show up.

[@johnmurray2214]

There’s a video first time at the Post she showed um there’s a new honky tonk Queen in town. Blew um away. No one else could do justice to Kitty songs.

[@ColRobbie-1976]

not even close to my mawmaw good try

[@scottdooley9138]

Passable and dutiful cover. This should be a song that Sierra grabs by the scruff of the neck and let her earnest hillbilly roots shine, instead I get the feeling she’s kind of going through the motions. If you take a shot at one of the queens of country musics signature songs, you best not miss and this is definitely a miss. Like her Opry performance, this is more NPR than old WSM. Her endearing rough edges have become far too polished.

[@ColRobbie-1976]

and who that goofy looking dude playing or should i say pretend tp play a Guitar my maw maw stuff this sucks im sorry dude i love what you doing do it better Js

[@mikem1509]

as good as I've ever heard this song sung. she truly is special.

Now that’s A woman 🙏🏻🙏🏻😁
