Mel McDaniel - Stand Up

[@mbatchelor]

Mel McDaniel is perhaps one of the most underrated Country artists of all time. So many great songs... 2021 and its still not old.

[@hankwoodruff1201]

Yep!

[@KaptenRedNeckZ]

I found his music some days ago and I'm addicted to them now... amazing man

[@jeancartrer6871]

2022 and still strong

[@DanHart-z1v]

That was my special needs brother's favorite song. He played it on his CD player every day and requested it on our local country radio station about every day. He sadly passed away 3 years ago from Covid. I played the song last week and my cockatiel went ballistic looking around for my brother. It was his cockatiel. He played the song everyday and Cinnamon remembered that song and must've liked it. I didn't know a cockatiel could enjoy a song like that. It was sad and happy at the same time.

[@snowman374th]

How come country isn't like this anymore... Come on people!!! I play some crazy ones too.. lol I grew up listening to these greats.. No wonder I wanna play like them.

Moved to the states about 40 years ago as a young refugee from half world away. Listening to fine music my Mel McDaniel what got me started in country. I bought my first cassette in mid 80’s in downtown New York. It had this song, Good ole Brew, Real Good Feel Good Song, Stand Up, Henrietta, and bunch of other ones. But unfortunately today, country is not what it used to be. Y’all stay safe.

Hey... I know you posted this comment a long time ago. But I am a new viewer of Mel McDaniel, and am seeking clarity on exactly what he is talking about. To my untrained eye, it appears he endorsing date rape. Is that really what the song is about? If you don't reply, I will just assume it is. Thanks for your help.

I was teaching country western dancing in a club in Davie, Florida in the 80's and got to meet Mel in person after the show. He gave me a tour of their bus and then we sat in the back of it where he lived while on the road and we talked for a couple hours. Very cool man. A true country gentleman and as I was leaving, I gave him and hug and kiss bye. Memories I treasure now so many years later. RIP my friend.

In my opinion Mel McDaniel is one of the if not THE most underrated Country music singer ever . I for one was completely floored at the beauty of some of his content and the fact I’d never even heard most of it before was baffling! Where were you hiding all these years, Mel?!

I will never forget hearing my Mom sing this at a Wedding Reception “after party”, in WV, that’s when they have the real party. She was singing, and when she said “STAND UP”, Sandy Colgrove jumped up and said I testify, I testify ! Then Stanley Perry jumped up and said, “Oh Hell Briza, we all know I did, at least twice” GOD BLESS ~MEL McCDANIEL , “After Parties”, Uncle Jerry’s Punch and Logan County, WV !!
