Johnny Cash Roy Clark - Orange Blossom Special | Metal / Rock Fans Reaction with Various Bardstowns

[@robertmiller8930]

My great uncle wrote this song when he was a fiddle player with Bob Wills. He played for the Texas playboys and he wrote this song in the backseat of a car on the way to a show

[@icspots2351]

My great uncle played fiddle for Waylon in Phoenix during the early years

Last song played to close the joint....faster and faster....drunks stumbling around dance floor....good memories!

Re: the lyrics --- I think I fall btwn you two in age and I grew up singing those lyrics, listening to Johnny on the radio.

[@shayeplunkett24]

I'm from Virginia and am on vacation. I just drove by Bardstown, KY today and thought of you guys when I passed the distillery

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

They’ve got some pretty tasty stuff there! Thanks for thinking of us, safe travels. -Dustin

[@donnawilliams4148]

Johnny Cash AND Roy Clark - very cool. Every time I see Roy Clark I am reminded of the first time I saw him sing Yesterday When I Was Young, on Hee Haw. I was young then but that song just captured me with the haunting beauty of it. And it still does.

[@barbarachieppo9603]

I lived in Bardstown, KY. for eleven years. ✌❤ I grew up listening to my mom and dad playing Roy and Johnny on the record player .❤

[@ednafenton7558]

Since you didn't grow up listening to Country Music, it's understandable that you didn't know this song has words to it. But today it's not done because Country is now pop/rap music. Same as you won't hear them sing "Rocky Top" anymore. I don't think they can yodel either. But l could be wrong as l don't listen to the stuff they call Country anymore. Watch Roy pick with Chet Atkins, Glen Campbell, Jerry Reed, Buck Trent & Jimmy Henley(Hee Haw Show). This kid(1970's) never had a lesson in his life. Just pure talent. It was fun watching these artist pick with each other & they LOVED doing it together. No egos showed up either!

[@robincridelich5179]

Love both Roy and Johnny! Roy can play many instruments. He was fun, funny and just brings back so many great memories of sitting around the TV with mom and grandpa watching Hee Haw. Thanks guys!

[@timeforchange3786]

Yep, every weekend we would go to Granny's house for fried chicken and pecan pie followed by HeeHaw and Lawrence Welk 😄😆 "Gloom, Despair, and Agony On Me"

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Hee Haw I could handle. Lawrence Welk was pure torture. - Keith

[@robincridelich5179]

@Bourbon Country Reacts I have never seen an entire episode of the Lawrence Welk show but man I loved HeeHaw! I'm 56 and my kids really enjoy HeeHaw. Good clean fun and great music.

[@timeforchange3786]

@@BourbonCountryReacts True, but the bubbles stick out in my memories. 😄

[@cricketpitts3744]

Roy Clark was amazing

[@randy129]

Hey guys there is a version of Merle Haggard doing impressions on a variety show from the seventies. You should really check that out.

[@lindaharris1892]

@BourbonCountryReacts, ya'll should watch Roy Clark do Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues, especially one of the earlier ones (in Black and white). I think both of ya'll will love it ....

[@wcwindom56]

you should look up the Roy Clark version from his live album. Not only awesome but hilarious also, He does this version on fiddle

[@Livsdad2011]

Roy clark BR549 Alice's restaurant by Arlo Guthrie

[@barbaratomlinson9519]

Roy Clark was one of the greatest 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 player ever!! Listen to more of his videos.

[@denisejohnson281]

Thank you so much ! This performance is mind-blowing . God bless you all ! 🖤❤️‍🔥

[@d.t.r.8036]

It's been several years since I went thru the corridor in Dallas Union Station while waiting on Amtrak but what always stays with me is hearing The Orange Blossom Special play over the speakers. 🍊 🌼 🚂

[@pamhodges527]

When Roy Clark passed we lost a great talent

[@757optim]

It was written as a fiddle tune. Lyrics were added and evolved over time with different artists' recordings. This performance uses the copyrighted lyrics, less the 3rd verse.

[@michellehubbard7865]

Charlie Daniel's band,does this song to,love from a small town in Virginia

[@shelleyparsons5735]

Try Roy Clark playing Malaguena, but not the one from an old Odd Couple episode. It's a bit different, but his skill shines through in this one.

[@Rocker1983]

Great reaction. Roy does a cool cover of Folsom Prison Blues that shows both his skills and his sense of humor. I think you guys would like it.

[@lefty3141591]

I was thinking of his duet of Folsom Prison Blues with Johnny Cash.

[@reneeeiier4818]

I forget you are a bit younger than me Keith. I remember Johnny Cash singing this quite often in my youth, especially on his TV show

[@WandaDodson-n7f]

Roy can play anything with a string you will not get any better

[@lynnbetts4332]

Hitting the dancehalls in Texas in the 70's, this song would clear the dancefloor. The couples who weren't good fell out fast. That left lots more room for the few of us who lasted till the end. One hell of a polka.

[@timeforchange3786]

Haha I remember when Urban Cowboy came out I think I was in 6th grade. My best friend and I said we were going to move near Gilley's after high school and buy a trailer together. WTH were we thinking. Haha My mom loved being able to pay $12 for a pair of Wranglers, though. I think I wore Wranglers until Gloria Vanderbilt's became popular. Then I started wearing them again when Alabama became popular.

[@lefty3141591]

I'm going to echo others on the comments: Roy Clark -- Folsom Prison Blues (either the black and white version or the duet with Johnny Cash) Johnny Cash -- One Piece At A Time Fun reaction.

[@civlwrbuf]

You should see JC's collaboration with John Hartford.

[@brookehornback1896]

F-YES!Bardstown, KY has some of the world's best whiskey and bourbon!It's not bourbon unless it comes from KY because are limestone.That"s my story and I'm sticking to it.❤

[@stevebournite184]

Bardstown has some good stuff, but I can say there are much better bourbons out there and hate to burst your bubble but Kentucky and Tennessee doesn't have the patent on bourbon and whiskey lol

[@stevebournite184]

Two legends. Great reaction. FYI you got a little something something to pickup at vine and table

[@stevebournite184]

The bottle of Barrel Armida is from Kat Blue, I just gave assistance in ordering. Should be ready for pickup tommorrow

[@reneeeiier4818]

I think the best country instrumental I have ever heard is Roy Clark and Glen Campbell doing Ghost Riders in the Sky. I love Glen Campbell's voice, and I really like the lyrics to Ghost Riders, but Glen doesn't sing in this and it is still the best version I have ever heard.

[@stacy4823]

Roy Clark was one of the first artists I saw that played at our county fair when they first started having concerts by well known artists. I wish I could remember the details about his performance, but that was way too long ago.

[@CLynns]

Johnny wrote it and no disrespect towards either of these two men or anyone else but having grown up in the Bluegrass music world (my whole life til I turned 16 including the 9 months in the womb). This song is so much better by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs... Kinda like the idea of bourbon fusion. Thanks guys for the daily smile. 😊

[@dustinhorn5420]

Awhile back during carrie Underwood performance of how great thou art kieth had mentioned that if good music doesn't bring you to tears than that's a person he doesn't trust I'm a military veteran who has ptsd and a mild traumatic brain injury which I have lost all emotions and I enjoy good music but it doesn't bring out emotions in me

[@lindabrewer3243]

Please react to Glen Campbell, "William Tell Overture". It is an instrumental and the guitar will blow you away. It is fast, fun and topsy turvy!!

[@tj79jrfan]

Johny cash actually has a lot of funny upbeat songs some of my favorites are Boa constrictor everybody loves a nut the one on the left and on right and one piece at a time

[@lynnstrickland6211]

“One Piece at a Time”is hilarious!

[@par500dragon7]

Don't forget a Boy Named Sue!

[@shellymarquez9320]

I never heard the lyrics either! This was new for me as well!❤️

[@greeneyelove2003]

Wow. Watching that is something. Like you said, they are both legends. Johnny Cash actually has a couple of pretty funny songs. "A Boy Named Sue" and "One Piece at a Time"

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

I've heard a lot of Cash, and "Boy Named Sue" has been in my head since I was a kid. Never heard the other one though. - Keith

[@greeneyelove2003]

@@BourbonCountryReacts Oh, you guys have to listen to it. It is so funny.

[@beappleby]

"One Piece at a Time" is funny, but "The One on the Right is on the Left", also by Johnny Cash, is even funnier!

[@firefighterchick]

I assume probably yes for Keith but I'll ask anyway. Have either one of you heard Johnny Cash's Ira Hayes? If you haven't, please react to it. Virtually no one has.

[@jerricocke987]

Great reaction is always Keith because I feel your need to make the train go may I recommend Roy Clark Folsom prison blues live performance.

[@jackieg7261]

Have you seen this before? Not country! Roy Clark on the Odd Couple show playing malaguna. Just wow! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5nMfJqbf7tmoZI He was also fantastic with the fiddle and the banjo

[@Butterflyandhearts95]

Can’t believe you’ve never heard the lyrics

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

I've always heard it played as an instrumental. - Keith

[@rhiahlMT]

A lot of rock musicians went to country artists to help with their picking skills. I saw a couple of videos with these guys. Another they went to was Glen Campbell. Roy Clark and Glen together is a sight to behold and hear. This is Alice Cooper talking about Glen Campbell. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGfUY5upmb2YpLM

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Country/bluegrass players right-hand skills, as a rule, are better than metal / rock guys who almost always use a single pick. - Keith

[@Kat._Blue]

I’ve never heard that song before. Liked it a lot. Keith’s proofer seems a little bit off lately or the whiskey/bourbons are deceiving him. And poor Dustin, one reaction he is the other Dustin and now he is Justin. 😂 But at least you can snack on some Haribos. The white dog sounds delicious.

[@tracylamb2971]

Nice! Great reaction! Oddly the 1st time I heard Orange Blossom without the lyrics was Roy Clark, except he was on fiddle. But I'm from Florida and people like the connection. Keith if y'all dont want to react to 2 versions of the same song, I'd recommend listening to the one Roy does with Jimmy Hennly ( hopefully I spelled that right).. you're a strings man, you'll love it I'm sure. Roy's on the fiddle, Jimmy's on Banjo.

[@JudNix-r6e]

Hey, I'd love for y'all to listen to Bury My Bones by Whiskey Myers

[@Lougaru]

Should check out Buddy Green's harmonica version of this tune.
