Mo Pitney -- Borrowed Angel [REACTION/RATING]

[@katmonaghan9341]

Mo Pitney is great in so many ways .... the voice is stellar and the personality is winning!

[@WildPhotoShooter]

Mo Pitneys "Borrowed Angel" is the best version I've ever heard.

[@robertscherer963]

This is from a "Country Family Reunion" show. Bill Anderson is the MC, Mike Johnson on the steel, and Jimmy Capps on the guitar, and the rest of the room is filled with the legends of Classic Country.

[@jamessceeles4397]

This song was my introduction to Mo Pitney and remains my favorite. 👍🏽🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@hotgaard]

I've never heard a better voice and more precious personality that comes through his performance of this song.

Mo Pitney has left me speechless!! What a talented young man. Idk why he isn't BIG TIME yet? Not many have this kinda special talent! 10. + That song is so beautiful and this guy sings it better thAn anybody I have ever heard b4.

Agree, best ever version, Mo sings this song better than Mel street .

@Nancy Russell Right? What a treat to follow Mo's career from such a young age!!

[@MsBoogiebabe]

CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF THIS VOICE!

[@marilou24557]

Me either...He is a great singer. Have you heard any of his gospel songs? If he puts as much feeling in them as he does this song and I am sure he does, it has to be some great songs......This guy has got it going on and like some of the others said he is cute as a puppy too. I am glad his wife is singing with him at times and supports him in his music...You GO, Mo!

[@margomason4889]

Revive real country music! If todays country acts would sing one country song from the past, in their shows it would be wonderful. It would be a good start for music, that's been pushed to the wayside.

The first time i heard him sing, i think was 4 years ago. I had to stop what i was doing and just listen. What a voice and character.

[@margomason4889]

Beautiful voice from a wonderful person. He sings country oldies, but goodies. We need more singers and songs like this to educate this generation, what real country music was like from days gone by. Mo is filling there shoes there shoes, but he can't do it alone. One of the most influential singers, from the past was Marty Robbins and I hope his music will be revived. These country acts today aren't interested in old country, but if not for old country todays acts wouldn't make it. Beautiful video, thank you so much.

[@drinkinslim]

When a country song comes on the radio I sometimes joke to my wife, "It's funny how the same guy sings ALL the country songs. There he is again!" (even though it's a different singer each time). Not so with Mo Pitney; his voice is his own and it's GOLDEN. And those little vocal runs at the end? Amazing.

[@ann-marielabelle4592]

I would love to sit in on a taping of this show and just listen to the stories this room full of legendary singers tell.

[@jenougherfan]

I've been listening to Mo on a number of sites,and I've left this or a similar comment on several of them. He sings the classics so beautifully,but what makes him great is his natural vibrato, gorgeous tone,and a way of bending the notes that make the songs his own without changing the original melody.That's not easy to do.

[@johnwilliams9526]

Mo gives us hope for country music.

[@TheNascarfan999]

This is taken from the TV show Country Family Reunion. Their KZbin page has many other videos that are primarily classic country performers and songs but they do include some of the more traditional current artists. Episodes currently air on the RFD-TV station and the same country that makes that show also makes Larry's Country Diner which does a similar thing but in a different setting with 1 artist per episode instead of this show where there is a whole group gathered. Mo was born in 1993 just outside of Rockford, IL so this would have been from roughly 2015 depending on his birthday. His closest song to a hit (if you are looking for a 2nd song of his to do) is called Country. Unfortunately, he is considered too country to be played on country radio since all they want are pop-country or country-rap songs.

[@davidemswiler4351]

First heard of Mo a few years back when his debut single "Country" got some radio play. I remember reading that his whole family were country/bluegrass musicians. Don't know for sure but usually when someone's accent is different than the locals, its because of the way their parents speak. Don, when you mentioned Miranda "capturing a sliver of life and blowing it wide open"...I couldn't help but think of her throwing a salad in some ladies lap she was arguing with a few days ago. That lady definitely caught a few slivers of something!! "Don't Mess with Texas" (gals)!

Hi Rock2Country, I love your videos, your commentary is always spot on. You have reviewed some of my favorite country singers and you tell it as it is. Great reviews.

[@bradwalters1249]

I scanned through a lot of the comments and didn't see anyone say this, but If I'm repeating someone else's comment then I'm sorry. This TV show is hosted by (whispering) Bill Anderson , and is call Country Family Reunion. I believe it is aired (in reruns) on CMT Friday nights at 8:00 or 9:00. There are many older artists who perform, and sometimes younger artists like Mo Pitney . Mo was born in 1993 so he is still only 26, which makes the TV show episode about 4 years old .

[@BelindaTN]

This show comes on RFD on Friday nights. ( we watch it most every week)It is called Country's Family Reunion that is filmed in Nashville. (Whispering) Bill Anderson hosts the show. Some of the artist in this particular one have already passed away. Like Roy Clark. It is a great show. And Mo is great. He has the old time country sound.

[@RockN2Country]

RockN2Country .... He does a duet with his sister Holly whom also has an incredible country singing voice. It is a Tammy Wynette song titled ... "Don't Touch Me". It is on KZbin under Holly Pitney and Mo Pitney. Holley's country singing voice on this is truly spectacular, and when her brother Mo assist with back-up harmonies. It really is a lovely sound. Hope you enjoy.

[@look3467]

His voice is such that can tug at ones soul and cause tears to run because he sings it sooo very smooth.

[@Ka3Ty]

I remember hearing this song back in 1972 by Mel Street, being 8 or 9 years old I was clueless about it's meaning but loved the song anyways. It's so rare to have a song you loved "back when" and a first time effort by a somewhat newcomer is even better than the original. Wow it blows you away, and makes you hope he'll re-release a bunch of the old song we all loved. I kind of wonder how is it possible for RockN2Country who is reviewing these videos not know a room full of county giants, and does it make his opinion less valid?

[@RockN2Country]

@Ka3Ty Welcome aboard the channel! I started the channel last year as a reaction channel to Nashville country, but people started requesting more traditional country. As I started hearing those songs and artists, such as Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers, Waylon, George Strait, and so on--I started getting into that way more than the Nashville pop stuff. So here I am, learning on the fly with a camera in front of me. But I'm not as wet behind the ears as I was last year, so that's a good thing. I'll keep at it and eventually will catch up to some of you, but there's a lot of off-the-beaten-track music out there. Whiskey Myers, Pam Tillis, John Moreland, from different generations, all worth hearing. Stay tuned....

[@Ka3Ty]

@@RockN2Country Well that sounds as genuine as can be. I really enjoyed watching the expressions you have to Mo. Mel Street and even George Jones had really nice versions of that song, but Mo actually blew them away with a better version. Mo enunciates his words better than pretty much any singer ever has, along with being pitch perfect, making his voice the most important instrument in the song.
