Western Flyer - Cherokee Highway

[@harkleyliz7143]

My mama played this song for me when i was little 😭 i loved it and the message then its like it disappeared. We both looked for it for years coukdnt remember the name of group or song. Shes been gone 6 years 😢now and i finally found the song ive played it back to back 10 times now. Still such a powerful song unfortunately we are still trying to spread the same message at the end of 2023. Black or white the blood still runs red we are all brothers and sisters of the Lord and should love and care for each others accordingly no matter what race we are. You will miss out on knowing someof the best pepole in life judging by skin color and ignorance that is unfortunately passed down and taught. My mother brought me up not to see color but to see their heart❤ we need more mothers and fathers like her! Love and miss you mama i found your song finally sorry it took so long continue to sleep in peace and that you for bringing me up the way you did miss you and your words of wisdom!

The song just randomly popped in my head tonight so I thought Id leave a comment. I remember first hearing this when I lived in Georgia in the 3rd or 4th grade, a teacher made us watch the video then proceeded to ask us questions....heard it that ONE time and its been embeded in my memory ever since.

[@CountryAngelGrit83]

Over the years this song remains in my head and never could find it after it got banned from radio and tv…. It gives a good point in life that No matter what color our skin is our blood is all red and evil and hate for each other is our biggest enemy in this word… people can learn a lesson from this song.

My little brother was Kevin in this video. He is fine now but I'm still so proud he made this video. He was passionate about ending racism until the end!

[@johnlewandowski8624]

I share his passion for ending racism!

[@nancynichols6431]

I have been looking for this song for YEARS! I remember seeing it when I was a little girl only once and it left such a huge impact on me.

[@lulupyles]

my momma had this on a cd and i would listen to it when i was around 5 i would sob my eyes out to it. 11 years later i just remembered it and found it.

[@Salems_Mommy]

Western flyer was an awesome group. It's a shame they never made it big.

[@j159]

they broke up before they got big.

[@ethanhiter]

Yep my grandpa was the manager and the drummer is my drum teacher

[@Salems_Mommy]

@@ethanhiter cool.

[@markshepherd9133]

@@ethanhiter They were exceptional...I have their studio albums in vinyl but somewhere (I assume on youtube) there is what I think is a live performance where they re-played a song in various styles...can't believe all the crap out there that people buy and good music like this gets pretty much overlooked.

[@Samrobertsish]

This song STILL gives me goosebumps!

[@TheMKEWERBY]

Me too!

[@momamedienta]

I remember when this song was released. I heard it on our local country station just once. I called in and tried to request it and they refused to play it anymore.

[@lynnwest4307]

I remember listening to this as a kid and it made me cry everytime I heard it

[@Dante-he2pu]

Finally found this on yt. This song shaped me as a kid.

[@KatieManiaci]

This song randomly popped in my head the other day, and I had to find the video. Still gives me chills

[@staceyaustin9062]

I always loved this song, but the video makes it even more potent

[@NorthwoodsWi]

Amazing video, with a strong and powerful message that is timeless.

[@jacobkellum9518]

I love this song

[@aprilgosa8866]

I had forgot they didn't end up alive but thats the love of Children right there

[@porterbrent97]

@Sam Roberts When i first heard this song i started to cry

[@lindseymounce8817]

Just as scary as the first time I watched it when I was little uhhhh so many feels

[@bobgarey7706]

Awsome sad but damn true song

[@sherrycritchlow7045]

Wish I still had their CD. Can’t find it on iTunes

[@seanemery1917]

And no one has learned a damn thing even today.

[@davemurphy7817]

No KIDDING. 😢😢

[@leannetalbot9402]

Been looking for this for years knew the video but not the name

[@aprilgosa8866]

I'm bawling i admit it

[@01LunaMoonDragon]

Love that the date on this is Valentine's Day....

[@aprilgosa8866]

I remember this now why did i click on this i feel sick now

[@matthewmarks2881]

Sadly a song like this doesn't register with my Father since he happens to be a racist bigot and he very much is is proud of that fact despite it being wrong.

[@_user_..8922]

yep. This one ggg.

[@TesIaNews2024]

Here to shed tears for George Floyd and all of those who have been killed before him based solely on skin color.

[@ashleyfolden5933]

1995

[@JackBarrett7]

I've always wondered who thought that it snows in the Mississippi delta. Good song, tho'. I remember when it was released. I think it never was big because it was before it's time. 1994 even was a different time as far as racial compassion goes. I knew some country fans that absolutely hated this song because of its message. (Personally, I think the message is it's only redeeming quality lol)

[@aprilgosa8866]

I can't help it but i have no Sympathy for Kevin's Mother how can you be married to a man after he did such things those boys blood is on Kevin's Father's hands

[@aprilgosa8866]

as well the blood of Willie's daddy and who knows how many other innocent black men

[@CountryAngelGrit83]

That’s not the point of the video

[@matthewmarks2881]

Sadly I know a racist and I'm stuck living with him.

[@mikkelnashville5204]

Unfortunately this song destroyed their career.. Politics suck....

[@j159]

No I don’t think that’s what happened

[@j159]

thats not what happened

[@terrirobison5738]

This is not what happened to them at all. Wasn't even released as a single so only people that heard it were true fans.

[@j159]

@@terrirobison5738 no they did release it...but they broke up shortly after

[@adamclark9004]

No their lack of talent destroyed their career

[@glennpinkerton9478]

Hey Trump before you say anymore hate to others listen to this song, the hate is dead chump!

[@bengals15mo]

Glenn Pinkerton I have this album on cassette never could find it on cd

[@keithmangold7167]

calling him chump is talking hate too ... next time read your post twice before you click send... ~have a nice day brother~

[@marcusc110]

Apparently you are a demonrat and we all know that the demonrats are the ones stoking the fires of hatred

[@j159]

a lot of the people in the band are republicans so think again

[@johns1166]

@@keithmangold7167ah yes, calling someone chump is the same as saying immigrants are rapists and drug dealers. How did I ever survive without such enlightened centrism

[@bigfatjewstein2032]

Most generic sounding shit ever, sounds like the song for a car dealership that went on way too long.
