FIRST TIME HEARING Clint Black - Killin' Time REACTION

[@larrywilliams5014]

For a period of about 5 or 6 years, nobody in Country Music was bigger than Clint. I love this song, and another favorite of mine is "Like the Rain."

[@Jen-in-Texas]

Good one

[@vonashaffer8626]

Like the Rain is hands down my favorite. His rendition of Desperado is phenomenal.

[@donaldbraugh2314]

Houston boy

[@user-ii4zf5iq3t]

He used to hang out at the radio station at night. Poor single Clint...ha

[@mj95b]

"Like the Rain" is such a fantastic song. I also really love "When I Said I Do" with his wife. I was pleased to have that song play when we did our vow renewal for our 20th anniversary.

[@BroadwayBabyyy744]

cant go wrong with Clint!!! "A bad goodbye" with Wynonna is brilliant duet, "Still holdin on" with Martina Mcbride, and of Course the ultimate love song for couples, "WHEN i said i do" sung with wife Lisa Hartman is a must listen!!Highly recommend for the que

[@RyRy97]

I agree 100% … the one with him and his wife Lisa is amazing

[@robertgrant1730]

Didn't he make a lullaby for their baby?

[@1145ontop]

YES YES YES to all of these suggestions!!!

[@allenwhitmer8192]

For some reason, Martina doesn't get played on their channel, I think its because Concrete Angel was hard on Mama. They haven't played Independence Day, yet, or the duet with Bob Seger, Chances Are, an upbeat one they would love, My Baby Loves Me. I wish they would, they are missing out on one of the Queens of Country. Hope it's not because she's from Kansas🙃

[@BroadwayBabyyy744]

@@allenwhitmer8192 makes sense, which is disappointing too, martina has so many more happy and upbeat songs, i just dont want them to miss out. Starting off with Concrete Angel may not have been the best decision...it just wrecks you as a tune....

[@BoyNamedSue4]

One of my favorite songs and artist. Clint is part of the “Class of 89” along with Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, and Travis Tritt. All four men had their debut this year and basically defined the sound of 90s country.

[@cjpew]

Don't forget Rodney Crowell. His debut was 1988 but he was big in the 90's. (edited, meant to type 1988)

[@lorinichols9996]

I saw Clint and AJ as a double billing when they were each not quite big enough yet to fill a concert hall on their own. Great show!

Y’all gotta learn to two step to that beat! Very romantic….

"Nothing But the Taillights!" By Clint Black is a good one! I grin the whole way through the song...as I'm singing along with him! 😂

[@portalofwisdom8858]

Clint Black is so good. His song Good run of bad luck is so good and has some awesome harmonica too! Also his remake of the Eagles Desperado is great too. A better man and like the rain are really good too.

And Good Run of Back Luck is also in the movie Mavrick, which Clint was also briefly in!!

[@ChrisW-17]

All excellent choices. When My Ship Comes in is my personal favorite. Takes me right back to that time.

[@rodneytyus]

Clint has a ton of great songs, but you have to check out the duet he did with his wife, Lisa Hartman, When I Said I Do. He wrote it for her, and convinced her to sing it with him.

[@davidcollins897]

Nothing But the Taillights is another. Good Run of Bad Luck is amazing, I had forgotten all about it!! Off to listen now.

[@lorinichols9996]

I just got into country in the 80s. Clint Black, George Strait, Randy Travis, Dwight Yoakam, Ricky Skaggs, Alan Jackson…. It was a fun time in country for me, two-steppin’ in the honky-tonks with my future ex-husband. Our second date was to see Dwight play on a stage set up outside of a bar - he was too big to play inside, but barely known yet….

[@johnchitwood8799]

Clint is one of the greatest country artists. The main 3 to me, is George Strait, Clint Black, and Alan Jackson

[@buckyc.9069]

I guess you're too young to have heard of Hank Williams.

[@pizzarat7825]

@@buckyc.9069 you have to compartmentalize country music. when you are talking about 90s country he is absolutely correct

[@funkmeyer4614]

Glen Campbell 'galveston'. You are from military families, its about a soldier. And he hits unbelievable high notes. Great song.

[@suzanneprock7286]

I love Glen Campbell, "Witchita Linesmen" is my favorite.

[@davidcollins897]

Love, love, LOVE Gentle On My Mind. Always was my favorite Glen Campbell song. The Band Perry covered it very nicely as well. His daughter Ashley has a super nice live version of it with Carl Jackson from a few years ago. Come to think of it, Ashley has a fantastic rendition of Pancho and Lefty as well - she has her dads knack for story telling with her voice.

[@beedeegee9374]

I’ve requested Galveston numerous times, maybe this time they’ll see our request!

[@rhiahlMT]

Dwight Yoakam came out in the mid to late 80s. His remake of "Streets of Bakersfield" is so good, he plays it with the original singer Buck Owens. Then "Guitars, Cadillacs" is another good one. No one wore a pair of jeans like Dwight. 😊He's also a really good actor. Johnny Cash called Dwight his favorite modern country artist. He must have said that in the 80s.

[@melissapearce1841]

Oh...I hope they will listen to Dwight. I really think they’d like his voice.

[@sandyhafenbrack141]

There is nothing like 80's and 90's country and Clint was the cream of the crop of those amazing artists.

[@Kentuckyfatwhiteboy]

🔥 song. Try “Better Man” by Clint Black

[@legionkahn]

Clint was huge in the early 90s. Walking Away, A Better Man, Nothing But the Taillights. He had so many hits.

[@marsanchez2500]

The duet “When I Said I Do” with his with Lisa Hartman is phenomenal

[@familydog]

When My Ship Comes In, is by far my favorite Clint Black song. Highly recommended.

[@lynnebaker7787]

Must listen is his duet with his wife Lisa Hartman Black. She is an actress who did several films in the 80s such as Where the boys are 84, Dazzle, and exchange student. She was also on several tv shows such as Knots Landing, Matlock, and Tabitha. They married in 1991. She sings also but was never as popular for it as she was for her acting. There voices blend so well together in this song.

[@nitwitt50]

Clint's song Better Man, is my favorite one.❤ Listening to you 2 talking, reminds me of when I worked in a sm town Bar-B-Q and bar. We had one round table that some of the old timers would sit and play dominos ALL day❤❤

[@peterjarvis7335]

Clint Black is definitely a favorite of mine! Now you gotta react to his song “better man”!!

[@selinahann5595]

He has a beautiful song with his wife, When I Said I Do. Wedding or anniversary song.

[@R777-RLM]

"A Better Man," is a great song by Clint Black, it's very upbeat and positive.

[@lefty3141591]

Clint is mostly 90s country but extremely good. I'd suggest his songs "When I Said I Do" "Good Run of Bad Luck" For 80s country consider: John Anderson-- "Chunk of Coal" John Conlee --"Busted" Oak Ridge Boys --"Ozark Mountain Jubilee" Great reaction and love to see Clint making it onto your channel.

[@johnmcdonald5371]

Great suggestions - Hope they go down the John Anderson rabbit hole. His greatist hits is loaded with classics.

[@wtk6069]

Perhaps the quintessential 80s country singer is Randy Travis, who led an entire movement that defined the decade until Garth Brooks and a few others came along circa 1989 to bring back some pop influences. You've done at least one of his, but there's a ton waiting for you. Also, how about more Keith Whitley? Maybe the best male country voice of the decade? Those are the two I think of when someone mentions 80s country.

[@juliewhite7469]

Randy Travis's "If I Didn't Have You ", "Deeper than the Holler ", " Forever and Ever Amen " are my favorites 🥰

[@emingin]

I've always been more of a rock guy, but Clint Black has always been one of my favorites. I met him once at a concert. I worked at a newspaper and was sent to cover Clint Black when he did a show for Soldiers at a military base. A couple of things took me by surprise about him. He was very down to earth, and treated everyone with a ton of respect, Keep in mind, I was not just there for the meet and greet, I was with him nearly the whole day. He, and the whole band were great. Oh, and he is one of the funniest people I've ever met!

[@kathys7300]

I love Clint!!

[@markuhlman3767]

Glen Campbell is 70s country. You should check out "gentle in my mind"...

Clint Black “State of Mind” Studio Version has a killer Harmonica & Drum intro, great lyrics to on how music affects alls of us in many ways and can stir up memories.

[@Pauba1946]

Speaking of Glenn Campbell. He died from “Alzheimer’s disease”. His last song was about that “I’m not going to miss you” It is a very powerful and moving song. It is as powerful as Johnny Cash’s “HURT”

[@mrlookin4mr]

Surprising story about this song. I was 30 when this song came out and not much into country, more into pop/rock. My mom was into country, and would listen to country stations on the radio. The only country songs I had heard and liked were crossover hits in the 70's & 80's (Behind closed doors, Islands in the stream, etc.). But when I heard this song, it hit deep inside and I bought the single and listened to it many times. Not sure what it was, maybe brought up past-life feelings. But there was something about the song that felt so right.

[@js3599]

Congratulations on FINALLY completing all the artists of the "Class of '89"... You have now done all 5 of them... Garth Brooks, Allen Jackson, Travis Tritt, and Mary Chapin Carpenter were the other 4 that kicked in the '90s decade... Most artists that entered country music in the '90s were based on the mold of at LEAST one, if not more, of the artists that made up the "Class of '89"... That is how influential they were in the '90s... BTW, Jay... Clint Black plays the HARMONICA too.... Check out his skills in his song, "Put Yourself In My Shoes"... If you want some Glen Campbell, How about a Duet he did in the 80"s with fellow Hall of Famer Mel Tillis (Mel actually sang lead with Glen backing him up) called "Slow Nights"... You have not done Mel your channel yet, BUT.... You have reacted to his daughter, Pam Tillis, and her hit song "Maybe It Was Memphis"... Mel, DESPITE having a stuttering problem when he spoke, still had an incredible singing voice, with no stutter... In fact, sometimes when he would get tongue tied, he would often resort to singing to get his point across... Incredible, and prolific song writer too... Countless artists have had success with Mel's songs... Take, for example, his hit song "Ruby"... It was a hit for both Waylon Jennings AND Kenny Rogers before Mel even recorded the song himself... The song can be easily found on KZbin for all three artists... Also, did I mention Mel had a great CROONER voice as well... He also won CMA Entertainer of the year (1976), beating out the likes of Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, Ronnie Milsap, and Willie Nelson for the honor...

[@laurogarza4953]

I was really looking forward to introducing y'all to my neighbor, Clint Black. He and I are the same age and he is from Katy, Texas where I reside now. He's among those south Texas cowboys who came along shortly after George Strait. Black writes very interesting and relatable songs. Other singers that came along him include Garth Brooks, Tony Keith and Alan Jackson, all of whom y'all know. Y'all may not know another on this list, from Beaumont, Texas, Mark Chesnutt who has some fun and, like Jackson, heartfelt songs.

[@erinb.5103]

No time to kill is another great Clint Black song with a really fast tempo.

[@johnjsal]

Two things to know about Clint Black are that many of his songs and lyrics are very cerebral. Sure, he has songs about drinking, relationships, etc. but he also has very thought-provoking lyrics and topics (such as with We Tell Ourselves) that aren't always easy to figure out the first time you hear them. The other thing is simply that he's a very clever song-writer and uses a lot of puns and wordplay, which I personally love.

It was written by John Greener but was sang by his wife Kathy Matter who is a good country singer. The name of the song is Where Have You Been. It's about John's grandmother who was in the hospital very sick. You'll have to listen to the song to see how it ends. I don't want to give it away.

Clint wrote almost every song he ever recorded. I've always felt his songwriting is a little different than most country songs. A little more wordy and more complex than most. But he can sure turn a phrase. Love it. And, just to inform your timeline a bit, Glen Campbell had his biggest hits in the 70s. He's a great example of the "Nashville Sound" that was so polished and is something that "outlaws" like Waylon and Willie were pushing against.
