Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In

Mickey Newbury Live

[@davidshepherdgrossman]

Years ago in the 1980s I was privileged to open for Mickey Newbury. He was the best solo performer I had ever seen. A master songwriter and performer.

[@JLuvBug2]

Awesome! I want to hear more of his music.

[@RevMarvinPlayer]

Right up there with John Hartford writing & performing! of all who did this song IMHO this is the absolute best. A lesson to any performer on how to vocally emote!

I'll still challenge anybody to introduce me to a better solo live recording, than Live at Montezuma Hall.

[@filipgren6091]

I undersnad. He wistles better than many performers sing/play.

[@GBobFree206]

Never knew of this version until hearing it in the closing sequence to an episode to True Detective, and then to discover that this singer is the original writer of the song. This is my favorite version now.

[@phlyers13]

That whistling. That guitar. That voice. Such genius and artistry. By far the best recording I have ever heard of his masterpiece.

[@davidshepherdgrossman]

He wrote it!

[@phlyers13]

David Grossman oh I know. Of all his recordings, this is my favorite. Thanks again for posting this up!

[@rickfulton7388]

It should be! Mickey wrote this song.

@@davidshepherdgrossman Thanks for your reply. Over the weekend WFDU FM out of Teaneck N.J. ( Fairleigh Dickinson University) owned PBS Station did a Musical Tribute to Roger Miller which was great showing Roger was much more than a novelty songwriter. He won 11 Grammys in 2 Years and is the only Country Singer to win a Tony for BIG RIVER. He was married to Mary Arnold ( First Edition) after being introduced to her by Kenny Rogers. Mary so energetic & beautiful & a perfect match for Roger. She toured with him after The First Edition Disbanded. Amazon has a great MP3 Download with 19 Songs of Roger with all THE BIG HITS & The Serious Side of Roger. Sound is Stereo and Perfect AMAZING sound quality. I am sure you will enjoy it.

Mickey Newbury blows my mind every time I watch this. Gives me chills, makes me want to smile and cry at the same time. Simply awesome

[@rob3101]

Amazing performance and a phenomenal song - one of Newbury's finest! That's Jack Williams on guitar.

This might be the most hauntingly beautiful song ive ever heard

Correction, it is

[@goodjah8946]

Can't belive I missed out on this until now... Been somewhat obsessed with this song since the first time watching Big Lebowski and wasn't that long ago since my last search for covers of it... Superb version!

[@davidshepherdgrossman]

Micky didn't only cover it he wrote the thing.

[@goodjah8946]

@@davidshepherdgrossman Stupid of me to never thought about checking out who was the composer... Somehow got the impression that it was, if not written by Kenny Rogers, so maybe for him. Guess that has some to do with that it seemed like Rogers was the one reaching a bigger audience, if that was the case? Never investigated that either*shame on my behalf* This is also a bit before my time, so I took it fore granted for some reason.. Also in my defence is that I'm from the other side of the world from the states and have a diverse range of music preferences... Many thanks for making me aware of this nevertheless! Appreciate it!

[@davidshepherdgrossman]

No worries. Few people know about Mickey Newbury compared to Kenny Rogers. Mickey never had a hit with any of his own songs. Kenny Rogers had the biggest hit with Dropped In. Check out more of Mickey Newbury though on KZbin. You will be amazed.

Mickey Newbury you are in my heart, thanks sir

[@marke6569]

Mickey wrote it but nothing tops The First Edition Recording with Kenny Rogers ( Lead Vocal & Bass Guitar) Terry Williams ( Vocals & Lead Guitar) Thelma Comacho(Vocals & Tambourine) Mike Settle ( Vocals & Rhythm Guitar) Mickey Jones ( Drums) Mickey Newberry was a great songwriter who was admired by many of his peers but mostly Country Artists especially Waylon Jennings along with songwriter & producer Chips Moman & Bobby Emmons who gave the song Luckenbach Texas ( Basics Of Love) to Waylon . Newberry's name is mentioned in the verse along with Hank Williams & Fred Rose ( Songwriter of Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain) " Between Hank William's Pain Songs & Newberry's Train Songs & Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain, Out in Luckenbach Texas ain't nobody feeling no pain. Willie Nelson comes in on the final verse. This Song was the Start of The so called Country Outlaw Era. Newberry's Best was Immortalized by Elvis Presley's rendition of AMERICAN TRILOGY. Getting back to Just Dropped In ( To See What Condition My Condition Was In) It is Glen Cambell who plays the Psychedelic Intro & Outro. P

[@lttl858]

that's your opinion.....I'll take Mickey's version, hands down.

That's because T-Bone Burnett does their music.

How do they do that? I always find myself coming to KZbin looking for music after watching true detective!!!!!

[@Nergal_Slayer]

That's what brought me here

[@SkiesTribune]

Totally agree.

[@merlinjones6485]

Didn't think I would like this version, but this performer is top of the line. Much better than Tom Jones' version or Willie Nelson's version. What a great artist!

[@brucedunlavy6795]

You are aware he wrote it, right?

[@mohamadgharaeian8222]

Masterpiece. It became my favorite after True Detective

the Triad recording of Condition blows me away. But to see him perform it this way. incredible. thank you

The Spotify version has a cello and a violin added to this. Check it out, folks! The album is called Winter Winds. Kinda cathedral acoustic country music with no drums. Spiritual...

I heard this on True Detective and thought for sure it was a young Springsteen. Never heard of this guy, but now I want to know more!

[@davidshepherdgrossman]

When I met Mickey Newbury I had no idea who he was or how good he was. I was backstage tuning my guitar and he was next to me and asked what I was tuning my guitar to...I said my harmonica. He said, "You don't have an electric tuner?" It was 1988 tuners were not everywhere like they are today...I said, "No." He handed me his tuner and said, "You can have mine." He gave me the tuner to keep! Then he performed the best solo show I had ever seen. Check out more songs. Mickey's worth it.

[@Diosprometheus]

Mickey Newbury was outlaw before there was an outlaw movement and he disdained it saying, "It's just categorizing again, making a new pigeon-hole to stick somebody into. You got to be dressed a certain way, you got to be a drinker and a hell-raiser, cuss and make an ass of yourself, act like a kid. I've told 'em I quit playing cowboys when I grew up. I just get turned off by all that." bitemyfoot.org.uk/omaha/or13/or13_03.html

This isn't an interpretation or a cover. This is the composer singing HIS song. Hope the translater works for you, too.

[@Diosprometheus]

Believe it or not the late Kenny Rogers had one of his first top ten hit with this song when he was fronting for the First Edition back in 1967 and even sang it on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqO4m41jrMt9Y6c
