Rodney Crowell - I Couldn't Leave You If I Tried

[@user-pw6ry6iy3m]

Twin fiddles and a steel guitar with a walking bass line and Rodney Crowell what more could you ask for. So well done. An absolute gem.

[@elisabethhellbom5561]

det här e´ÄKTA COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mr.blackhawk142]

WELL-said pw6! The strings are VERY pronounced in this great song!

[@joshuawalls7102]

Don't forget that guitar player he played a nice hook in there too!

[@SharonSellvey]

So tru

[@ThomasClark-xt3xy]

❤ When country was country. 👍🏻

[@mr.blackhawk142]

I GO BACK TO 1960S C&W music, but the 90s has a special place for me bcuz that is when I started watching "The Country Channel" that had 24/7 music videos like this one! Around the same time I started 2-step dancing and I became an accomplished dancer for a few years! It was a TON of...FUN!

[@bobburke2248]

Absolutely!!

[@SharonSellvey]

So very tru ❤😊

[@murielrichardson3922]

From:Canada with all my admiration❤

[@sclawman]

Great musicians in this video among Rodney-Steuart Smith on guitar, Hank Devito on pedal steel, Vince Gill/Sam Bush joking around playing twin fiddles

[@mkl62]

A #1 hit for Rodney Crowell on the Country & Western charts. It was the 918th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era.

[@berthasams5211]

Country music 🎶 like it should be

[@itsmovinfast]

Song should be called “Rodney couldn’t write a bad song if he tried”. He’s among the best writers ever.

[@sarahnewcomb738]

I thought that was the name of it...he he...

I Agree! He is also one of my favorite singers.

Thanks for your love and support I'll love to talk to you more better..... Kindly send a direct message [phone]

[@jodiewiggins4737]

I listened to this song hundreds of times.

[@mrpoolplayer6379]

These were the days & hopefully they will come again, but I doubt it. This is a Country Song & it tells a story. It's not Hip Hop, RAP, Horseshit, Heavy Metal or anything else, but Country. And it will be played for the next few hundred years. The stuff played on Radio today, won't be played again next month & maybe never again, EVER. That speaks volumes about it's real worth... Enjoy a real song, folks, for as long as you can...

[@christinevicker9017]

How rite u r im 70 an totally agree im an Australian fan

Good ole days when Country wasn't rap!!!

[@thebuff1611]

[@metalmacabre9991]

Agreed it hick hop as I call it, crap country&rap. I'm a metal head, and a professional drummer, but I also grew up country, because my family. Long live the great country music. Outlaw country was my favorite style Waylon, Willie, Hank Jr, that stuff was my favorite, it still is.

[@patriciaward733]

This is true country! Love it!!!

[@mrrjtrevino]

[@cindy-followerofjesuschris6572]

Amen to that!

[@michaelcookson1822]

One of the most underrated albums/performers of the late 80's.

[@stevecoons7095]

Rodney Crowell was never an artist to offer quantity over quality and was a standard who brought the best to the musical community. A top songwriter and a stylist who always made the lyrics tell you in imagery, a story you could see in your mind. And as the story unfolded in the video you would love everything he made, Rodney Crowell is one one of my all time favorites.

[@shredder8677]

He's very good at that not the greatest but definitely in my top five amongst the likes of guy Clark and john prine

[@lh7098]

i appreciate the original sounds if country where the women and men could write, and nearly play every instrument. nothing like today's and nothing like barbara mandrell or roy clark. dont get me wrong George Strait is great too but most country entertainers let go of that genre long ago. Miranda Lambert writes, sings, plays more than one instrument. I feel the rest have just been conditioned and left the humble and grass roots of where traditional and classic came from. This new age will never know stuttering mel ( stopped when he sang), haggard, Conway, roy clark, earl thomas conoley, those songs back then had meaning and spoke the truth. i am from texas. you can privately text me if possible. i am not one to give out personal profile. if you dont mind you can give me yours first. thanks.

[@willolsen5838]

@@lh7098 love your comment and I sure agree, seems the best is in the past where it was real and touching, not made up junk just for another so called hit. I'm 74 and love good music, I'm in Gettysburg area and am constantly sending great stuff to listen to in Pittsburgh. I wanted to be DJ in my early twenties, but never pursued it. I'm a combination kinda of guy, i.e., love good country, good love songs, good rock, good oldies...and great harmony. Do you like Jake Owen - my two favs are Don't think I can't love you and what we ain't got. You're the only one love ever responded to. Have a Blessed Day!

I've been listening to this song for 30 years. It doesn't age. It's as good in 2024 as it was when released in 1986. The lyrics, the harmony, the instrumentation, and the people having a good time. Darn it, this is what great country music sounds like, and it's what most so-called country stations rarely play.

My favorite song from a flat out country masterpiece, "Diamonds and Dirt" that I've played hundreds upon hundreds of times and simply never tire of. Rarely are albums this fresh and consistently superb. With 5 country number one hits (a record back in '88), and a grammy, and album tracks that are just as great as the singles. Rodney Crowell at a dizzying peak of genius, and it hasn't aged one bit. A perfect blend of danceable, high energy country, and stark, emotionally complex, deeply intelligent love songs.

[@jeffcwatson]

I live in San Antonio and play in a Classic Country band (South Texas Review). We play a TON of two-step songs like this one because folks here like to dance.
