[@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!

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

[@JamesSterling]

Sierra Ferrell, making Kitty Wells proud. She nailed 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.

[@wenyenchang7881]

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

[@robt5818]

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

[@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.

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

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

My Lord, this is beyond PERFECT. Her voice is magic....

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

[@honeysaltwater8718]

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

[@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.

[@N9CQX]

Perfect country!

[@SempreGumby]

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

[@shawngabriel7397]

She sounds so like patsy Montana here, so beautiful.

[@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)

[@russellhickman2453]

She was amazing in Tulsa Oklahoma last night

[@genngeorge9909]

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

A true talent, a phenomenal musician.

[@QuickChip-v2w]

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

[@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

[@edhurt7174]

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

I made a comment a couple of years ago about seeing her in a bar before she becomes too famous. So I got tickets to a bar show that was subsequently cancelled. Saw her two weeks ago headlining a 3000 seater. At least I tried to take my own advice.

[@arman6119]

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

[@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]

not even close to my mawmaw good try

[@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.
