Thanks for playing this. I' m not an expert, but I know what I like.

[@terryhorton817]

Love it ! The Great Randy Travis !!❤

[@joycemcfee1829]

My husband and I met Randy Travis in Nashville just before he became famous. He was cooking at the Nashville Palace and singing in between. I saw his first album in a case and walked over to ask Randy if we could buy one. He sat down at our table and we talked about country singers that we had met. I told him to stay with it because I said he was as good as anyone out there. At that point his manager, later wife, came over to see what was going on. We got the album and Randy signed it with the name he was using at that time - Randy Ray. I take very good care of that album. Even when he spoke, he had that wonderful voice. It makes me so sad to see him now.

[@rogersmith626]

This is a fun fave, another reason to love Randy’s music…

[@codyf296]

The only thing I love on this channel more than knowing a song you react to, is experiencing a song the first time with you. Thanks for another good one brother.

[@diannthomas5653]

Kudos to whoever wrote this song. Randy did a great job presenting it.

[@mikebarnett9012]

Randy actually wrote this one himself.

[@geofredotappan9777]

Strokes can't always silence you. I had one, and I'm still moving.

[@ThatJunkman]

Great song from a great album

[@mikebarnett9012]

Morning Don and all. For pure unadulterated country music you can't do better than Randy Travis. This song is from his debut "Storms of Life" album which is loaded w/ great songs, including the title track, from beginning to end. Don you are right there will always be watering holes to gather and commiserate w/ each other after all Misery loves company. Also remember they tried to outlaw it once and that didn't go to well. Randy actually wrote this one himself and thematically reminds me of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Bands "Turn of the Century". Fantastic song, fantastic reaction, and fantastic thanks to you Don't and you Jeff. Good day to all! --#UTRCM

[@cliffordbarnes1631]

Amen my friend!

[@mikerichmond8246]

That song was the final cut of his debut studio album, "Storms of Life." It was a banger of an album. What a fantastic combination of songwriting, production, musicianship, and Randy's spectacular, resonant, emotive unsurpassed country-stylin' voice. Here's a reaction recommendation, also from that album: "Reasons I Cheat."

[@jamesjarrell8185]

Great day to you and all the listeners, hey this is a winner and I myself love it totally country music, gotta have some jukebox and that's 4 sure 😃 filled with the bestest songs ever , that is something u don't see much of now a days it's seems like everything is preprogrammed or something, some good songs and some bad, Don yr reaction to todays song is just awesome 👍

[@terrywoodyyc]

Another one I hadn't heard in a long time. To your question of when, this was on Randy's fabulous debut album Storms Of Life released in 1986. I love the sentiment in this song and Randy was the perfect voice to bring it to life. Thanks again Don, another great one!

[@mikebarnett9012]

@Terry Woods Hi I saw something on YT yesterday you maybe interested in if you haven't already seen it. Ian Tyson was speaking w/Jerry Jeff Walker and told an interesting story about his song "Four Winds". I know how much you like Ian so thought I would pass it on.

[@mikebarnett9012]

@Terry Wood sorry about adding the "s" to your name earlier, I had 2 brothers who were childhood friends named Terry and Ted Woods guess I had a flashbacks

[@terrywoodyyc]

@@mikebarnett9012 Super, thanks Mike I'll search it out!

[@mikebarnett9012]

@@terrywoodyyc Sorry I'm not very good w/"links" but I be!I've if you put in both their names it should pop up.

[@cliffordbarnes1631]

Mike back in the day I used to rodeo and Ian and I did the road thing together as he was the reserve champion in Canada for Cutting Horses. Four Strong Winds is a bit of an ode to Alberta the province I was born in. Terry another great Ian Tyson song is Summer Wages. It is close to my favorite as it in a way describes a part of my life. Glad to find another Ian fan!

[@dorisbeeler7666]

💘

[@eugenerowlett8965]

This was the final song on his first album. That would be 1985-1986.

[@cliffordbarnes1631]

Jeff thank you so much for this request! It really took me back.... I think everyone can relate to time spent in a Honkey-Tonk commiserating with friends, or trying to forget their problems, or perhaps just sitting back relaxing and getting lost in the Atmosphere. I remember those days well....... Don thanks for the reaction and taking me back to better days through my memories! #UTRCM

[@mikebarnett9012]

Well state my friend!!!

[@geofredotappan9777]

You and me both, brother.

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

reminds me of something my dad used to comment on while driving all the backroads, all these tiny little towns, there could only be 5 buildings total and one of them will always be a bar. gone through some "towns" with like 10 people living there and that's about all there is, other than some houses, is the bar LOL

[@bwilliams463]

I took a 3-hour college course in country music given by the same professor who taught Japanese Culture (go figure, huh?). When we listenedto this song, he declared that he was the 'one old hanger onner.' My favorite song on this album is 'Send My Body Home,' which has get to be one-of-a-kind on subject matter and general feel. I bet a lot of people would like to hear it.

[@jefftappan3091]

This was like the B side of an old 45, the last track from " Storms of Life " .

[@ThatJunkman]

Even if it’s outlawed you’re having your mooonshine hangouts :)

[@howstean]

After reviewing John Conlee's "I don't remember loving you", another thought provoking song is "50,000 names" by George Jones. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Jamie O'Hara's song. George gives it the gravitas it needs, whereas Jamie's version is more lightweight.

[@jefftappan3091]

Prohibition tried it and you see how well that worked

[@jefftappan7973]

Check out Gene Watson's ": The Jukebox Played Along' .

[@scottandal]

How hard it must be to have had that kind of talent and not be able to use it. Randy, Linda Ronstadt and the other’s I can’t think of right now. Sad.

[@johnbooth6477]

Reba McEntire - The Stairs or Is There Life Out There When Whoever's In New Englands Through With You

[@geofredotappan9777]

Give a listen to Dale Watson and " Jonesin' for Jones" . Or Jamey Johnson and " Somewhere between Jennings and Jones " .

[@jefftappan3091]

Gene Watson had one like this " The Jukebox Played Along " . Try that one.

[@geofredotappan9777]

Sir: check out Shane Owens and " country never goes out of style" and check out the video as well.

React to “Party Crowd” by David Lee Murphy

[@tedszweb5268]

Every song on that album was great, not sure but this might be one Randy wrote?

How high is the water moma, she says 5ft high and raising.. I'll try and send pics. I can hear her now, I've been thinking.. SOB.. HAKAD
