Jimmy Nail - Cowboy Dreams (Original Video Clip)

Doen't everyone love a country song? Yippi Ay Ya!

[@stevehirjak7824]

Love that he is covering a Prefab Sprout song! Long live Prefab Sprout! Paddy McAloon is the best pop lyricist ever.

[@seanie002]

Decent drummer as well ⬆️

[@grog0cean]

@@seanie002 LOL is that him on the drums? Looks like it!

[@seanie002]

@@grog0cean sure is.

[@renatomartinez5708]

Steve, this is the original version from 1994, written for Paddy McCalhum. Even in the video you can watch him playing the drum. Eight years later in 2002, Prefab Sprout performed this song again in a new restored country version included in the album "The Gunman and others histories", because Paddy is the author of the song.

I COULD NOT AGREE MORE!!!!!

[@melvincannell9449]

It's a shame we don't hear from jimmy nail these days these songs he sang are absolutely fantastic makes me proud to be a geordie thanks jimmy lad

[@markpawlowski8145]

The great Paddy McAloon on drums. Absolute legend.

[@Zetep]

He wrote the song.

[@davidwalsh3439]

Jimmy Nail has a fantastic voice. He makes great music. I think he is vastly under rated musically. He needs to be making much more music.

[@geoffmcbroom5302]

Yes, his "Big River" is a magnificent combination of sentiment and songwriting. Very moving, and Thatcher would have hated it.

[@AnneAnderson-q2j]

Quite agree and he a gea*is ageordie like me so proud ​ to@geoffmcbroom5302 96

He's a fabulous singer and brilliant songs, should be up with the best

My favourite Jimmy Nail song is Big River which he sings with great passion. A class act in my opinion.

[@neildecarteret6143]

That and crocodile shoes 👊

a great tribute 2 his city

Thanks for the recommend bro. I forgot my grandad and I replayed that at Xmas a few years ago. Feels. Miss you grandad. Thanjs

Big River brings back beautiful memories for me. I was only a kid, and all my family were there around me.. every day. They’re all gone now 😢😢

Bug River is a pure gem Bien vu Neil.

Wow, it’s now Jan 22 & just those two words, Cowboy Dreams, on an old cassette, brings back so many good memories, seems like yesterday 👍❤️😘

[@bainzeyboy]

So glad my dad had a tonne of jimmy nail cassettes when I was young, he's such a class singer

[@liambirch]

Very underrated song. As are most of Jimmy's.

[@jeanettedevereux7664]

Paddy Mac on drums wrote song

[@davewilson9738]

One of the best songs Paddy wrote for someone else.

[@AndrewWilkinson-m7j]

Such simpler times back then. Great music and not a care in the world, take me back

I really love this song Jimmy has such a beautiful haunting voice I could play his work for hours

[@mrpele8110]

So underrated, this is brilliant , totally brilliant

[@kevin48800]

the song was written by a group called prefab sprout in the 80s

[@davetherave597]

@@kevin48800 no it wasn't prefab sprout covered this in 2001

[@kevin48800]

dave it was written by paddy mcalonn the lead singer of prefab sprout you can do a google search on the record I'm sure you be able to find it. but its a great record

[@richardkinnett4952]

Come back Jimmy your country needs you!!

[@Ben.Hibbert]

At a school concert when I was younger, I lead the dance with pride to this exact song. It's forever in my heart 😂🤠

[@mgcocasal]

I have always preferred a man with a character face, my husband has a similar face to Jimmy Nail's, right down to the missing tooth. I couldn't be doing with a bloke who spends more time in front of the mirror than I do. Saw Jimmy live at Cambridge Corn Exchange some time back. Even with a streaming cold, he was brilliant.

[@robertofraser101]

Jimmy's a legend

[@jimso771]

Quality singer and actor 👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼

[@grahamegreen789]

This enlivens the hopeful, cinematic romantic laying just below the surface... No matter where I am, who I'm with or how I feel... As Jimmy sings "I wanna have it written on my tombstone, Here lies the boy that stole your heart," I simply melt!

Jimmy's a legend

[@michealkelliher8428]

I find this song kind of poignant and sad, the sunny Easter / Summer days of 1995, of people sadly no longer with us. The older man in the end playing the harmonica is a bit of a tear releaser of good old days, those characters are sadly long gone. Beautiful song. I love Jimmy and all the people's of the North of England. Sound, sound people. Here from an Irishman.

[@unturnthisstone]

Paddy McAloon looks rather like Carl Wilson in this video. I prefer the Prefab Sprout version of the song to be honest, but Jimmy Nail's cover of 'Dragons' (also by Prefab Sprout) has a beautiful arrangement. I prefer it to Paddy's own.
