Johnny Hiland "Honky Tonk Night Time Man" / Winter ASGN 2010

[@MichealClair]

It was an honor to play with Stu and Danny... What a great R section... Was a great night

[@kevenochs]

Watching live clips of Johnny Hiland always brings on a smile. Such an amazing guitar player.

[@bubaree1]

God bless us. God blessed him to make BEAUTIFUL music with that guitar. I live in australia am 60 years old and never heard any thing like John Hiland.

[@sKarmA115]

probably one of the most underrated musicians of Century... You rule Johnny!!!!!

[@Guitarmike]

So sad to think we'll never hear Merle sing this again. So glad Johnny is a part of my musical life. Love to watch this man play.

[@ilikezappa]

go big fellah what a joy to listen to

[@studiodw12]

A kindness and an incredible level, everything is fine!

[@bullhunter45]

STUNNING!! Johnny is amazing!!

[@qgjq3c]

shit!!!...What a musician...Thx M. Hiland.

[@SconeMason]

@MrGuimbard I agree, when you put it all together, it's hard for anyone to stand next to Johnny Hiland without looking silly.

[@MrGuimbard]

he s the best!!

[@MultiStratoman]

Awesome recording! 🙂

[@simoncasson3327]

Johnny's a killer! Met Danny G few times in London when he anchored Blues Bros Band - dynamite drummer! A great combo!

[@stratobastard69]

love this guy!! go johnny go!!

[@michaeljosullivan5389]

Johnny H is Real Good

[@hesch-tag]

Michael J O`Sullivan Personally I think he is really good.

[@SteveGaines]

It's a Merle Haggard. Merle was Ronnie Van Zant's favorite singer. He recorded it as a tribute to his idol , "THE HAG".

[@Sredderdude01]

Merle HAGGARD WROTE IT

[@kropkamark]

true dat

[@wvClifton]

Fuck yeah!!

[@Tacomadome24]

That is freaking awesome guitar!

[@greglarry11]

OMG!

[@nahmaninisithole2734]

This guy is an excellent guitar player. Are there any songs that he plays the way that they are composed? I understand putting his stamp on songs. I am referring to tempo.

[@HunterMann]

Very cool! I wonder if some of his licks are actually slide guitar parts... He sure can smoke that guitar!!

[@Schustersgunnor]

@SconeMason he s the best

[@zaradny1]

Extra super...)

[@bigbensteel]

Awesome work as usual. Didn't Merle Haggard release this song originally? I may have it backwards, I can't seem to find a release date.

[@fightback38]

Merle did it in 1969 skynyrd in 77,, skynyrd was going to do an album with Merle in 1978 or 79..!!Holy cow that would have ruled!

[@brucemcdonald1114]

I don't know which is better. His playin' or his singin'?

[@stratplayer12]

@SconeMason Yeah I have stood next to him with guitar in hand. I just let him take most of the leads

[@timcheney]

RIP Merle

[@SteveGaines]

@fightback38 Not Skynyrd, But just RVZ he had everything Merle ever recorded up to that point....It Skynyrd hadn't been Ronnie's band they would have never cut this song...Allen Collins and Gary Rossington thought it "TOO COUNTRY"...

[@tb0432]

@DaiTasshiWill He is legally blind. He has a condition that he can't entirely control his eye movements, since birth I believe. All the more amazing

[@KaichoWillFehres]

Is this guy blind or is that rapid eye movement reflecting his awesome picking, shit that's hot!

[@robertposusta537]

listen to Steve Gaines version

[@1govtmule]

think it was a Merle Haggard tune still a smoking version

[@Testify59]

He plays the same licks in almost very song he plays live. I wish he would mix it up a litte bit more.

[@brucemcdonald1114]

Wish I could play that g.d. lick.

[@argha511992]

@stratplayer12 i'd just drop my guitar and watch him play. lmao

[@MrROCKINRANDALL]

it is a ernie ball music man guitar

[@1022rebelreddog]

this guy needs no eyes he got mojo

[@kIoudie]

he is pretty difficult to keep up with ha.

[@gijoe696]

Man.. Vince Gill really let himself go

[@yetivanmarshall9880]

The lead is all the same volume, no feelin, and why is his left pinky so afraid of the fretboard?

[@oldrollerdad]

Grab your guitar,show us how it's done

[@dadpa]

He COULD say that he doesn't need to use the pinky to outplay mere mortals, but he doesn't. He started off playing with a slide on his pinky. He learned to use the other three fingers just fine. Hell, Django Reinhardt only had two working fingers on his left hand. Does that bother you too?

[@jessesmit2907]

Yeti Van Marshall This is more or less a bluegrass take, especially with this speed.

[@kropkamark]

its too fat

[@kropkamark]

+mark kropka seriously tho this guy is a legend
