[@stonewall73448]

Perhaps the most under-rated and under-appreciated country music artist ever.

[@mendadent]

I believe he was never underated... he filled the airwaves in his time...great talent.

Hi

[@davidfishferrell]

Not under-rated! Legend! Everyone played him

[@williamlott5717]

That boy is sawing on that fiddle, I love it! Most under appreciated country super star of all time.

[@pruitthall]

John Anderson, to my ears, has the purest voice in classic country music. Not by a little, either: by a long shot. This is the sound of GENUINE country music.

[@t4texastom587]

Listen to that fiddle! REAL country music! 🎻🎸🇨🇱

[@hookahb8299]

John Anderson just makes any summer day better...Lord the beer we drink when we play us some John......Er ..um...Whiskey, i aint gonna lie

[@davidpaul7810]

John Anderson is one of my heroes back in 1983 I went with my friend to Washington DC he owned a company called In-N-Out burgers on our way home we were listening to music in the plane and we listened to John Anderson doing interview after they started playing his music my friends started listening to country music when we got home he put together a fundraiser for children and John Anderson was a guest star he converted the warehouse into a barn dance I had the opportunity to meet John I told him that interview that he did with the radio station was why he was there that he converted this man to country music John went on his bus brought me a picture and signed it for me to thank me for introducing him to country music and to be a part of the fundraiser John Anderson is one of my heroes for sure he's very kind and down to earth I still have the picture and I think about it every now and then.

[@Andrew-84]

He owns a sound and style unmatched. Country true.

[@mikeberry9404]

THE single greatest country song ever written PERIOD…HANDS DOWN…There is no close second…THIS IS IT!!!

[@kevingill4552]

Thanks to KZbin I have found Country Artists that I did not know even existed.

[@jamesdetweiler7937]

John Anderson has such a unique voice...love it!!!!!

[@sunflowers28]

I read once that 'a John Anderson tribute album would be ridiculous. No one could come close to his voice.' But more so, than the voice God blessed him with, John said he just wanted to share his music with the world, and he has. His beautiful heart shows thru in how he treats the fans, and always thanks the staff who work the venues where he plays. A true country gentleman❤

[@jpb1231000]

That opening fiddle is OUTRAGEOUS!!! John Anderson and his band are AWESOME!!! I was a 15 y/o "heavy Metal Kid" when this came out and when I heard it on WNGC... My mom's country station out of Athens GA I HAD TO HAVE it!!! I remember what that Cassette tape looks like today !!!!! Great Album!!!!

[@Riogi]

When Country Music was truly Country Music.

[@fewridge6479]

Amen.

[@gypsyfarmrecords]

double kick and all

[@buddylowe2929]

I love John Anderson's songs. Country and not ashamed of it. Like to watch him, too. Very entertaining.

[@Twotontessie]

I liked Hank Jr.'s version on the Major Moves album. If you haven't heard it. A slow, mournful take on it. Great version also.

[@tomsammon2918]

John Anderson was one of the most true Country Boys I've ever seen hit country music! I wish he got more credit look at the f****** passion! that's how I am with my construction work!! There are very few of us left I tip my hat to all them Good Ole Country Boys giving it all they got!

[@alanduke9391]

You are dead on it Mr Sammon. John sang what he felt with conviction.

I agree you don't here fiddles or steel guitars in todays country music

[@multitoolish]

Catherine Arsenault because none of them know how to play one

[@garrettpittman7374]

Pamela Raffield it is Pam....you just aren't hearing it on the radio...there's a billion and a half including myself that are fighting our way through these bars and venues with just a shadow of hope that we can get heard...knowing we prolly never will bc we have to do it all on our own...and we keep doing it anyway bc its what we were born to do

[@markthompson5310]

This might be one of the last songs with a fiddle in it before the jug heads in Nashville killed real country music.
