Sawyer Brown - Six Days On The Road | THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@vickiroman189]

I was thrilled when they won Star Search in 1983. They were so fresh and fun! And they're still touring, sounding as great as ever.

[@wcwindom56]

I remember watching that as well

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

i remember the line at 1:50 "i'm passing little white lines and my eyes are open wide" in the orignal version by Dave Dudley the line was "i'm popping little white pills..." but they changed it, to make it more PC i guess.

[@corysimmons5701]

They also changed the lyrics in the section where he talks about having multiple women in other areas.

[@vladyvhv9579]

Changed it not to be PC, but able to be played to wider audiences. Drug use is frowned on in the Country community, and the "little white pills" is a reference to an illegal drug. Until fairly recently, "ass" was also widely censored and "son of a bitch" in the album version of Devil Went Down To Georgia had to be replaced with "son of a gun" for radio broadcast standards, for example. You'll find a bunch of songs that will lead up to "ass" or go to "son of a -" and then suddenly change train of thought or get an instrumental in place of the word. It's just part of the more family-oriented nature of the genera. We want our little kids to be able to listen to this music, and not be picking up bad words before they get into gradeschool.

@@vladyvhv9579 Another example is in the song "Girl on the Billboard" by Del Reeves. When the billboard painter tells him to "get the ___ on" his way, they use a guitar chord instead of the expletive.

This is a remake of an old trucker song. Dave Dudley did it back in the 70's if I remember correctly.

I seen Sawyer brown in concert 6 times in concert in Washington Missouri and st..louis Missouri from shawn Overton he Rocks at his concerts.

[@hanginwithferndawg6452]

If you haven't already, you need to watch yourselves in the video. You had an ear to ear grin the entire time!!!

[@judyduguay8673]

Saw them in concert last night amazing

[@willasacco9898]

I know that you can really relate to this song. Great video and genuine reaction. Thanks guys.

[@jodytollefson7187]

This was a cover of Dave Dudley's first big hit from 1963. The Sawyer Brown cover came out in 1991.

[@shauncronin3961]

Love these guys

[@conwaymcelroy8523]

That song is literally my life right now for past 3 years driving truck

[@deegomez2089]

Love these guys. Underrated band imo 🎶🎵

[@wheelmanstan]

6 days on the road because Sawyer decides to dance at every damn gas station for 8 hours straight hahaha

Your bandana is Fire Suzi in every sense Suzi ! In fact the colours remind of it . If I listen to drums during the beginning I think that the interpretation of the metrical division by the player is really cool ! His choices are pretty original . He begins with pretty sincopated upbeat (in terms of 'controtempo' in italiano) . More of fills that simply drive tempo . Country blues is insane ihih

[@craigholt3485]

This is one of my truck driving songs. Listen to the original, David dudley.

[@tira2145]

He's talking about truck drivers.

[@eric7922]

that version ain’t got nuthin’ on the Dave Dudley version.

[@mandymcinerney2816]

As a musician, I think Sawyer Brown's version is FAR superior to Dave Dudley's. The original is not always the best

[@eric7922]

@@mandymcinerney2816 I’m a musician as well, not professional, but I plink around. Imo, Sawyer Brown’s version is cookie cutter new age country with zero dynamism, just soft bellied rocknroll acting like country. The Dudley version oozes dynamism, the guitar sound, the background singers stellar vocals, personifying the rig and Dudley’s more than just original voice. The Dudley version is the definitive version.

[@mandymcinerney2816]

@@eric7922 We obviously disagree. There are many times I think the cover version is better than the original. For example John Cougar Mellencamp did an awesome cover of Buddy Holly's "Rave On". Far better than the original. As for singing ability, Dave Dudleys voice is inferior to Sawyer Brown. Like I said, the original isn't always the best

[@eric7922]

@@mandymcinerney2816 The universe could grow cold and dark and you still wouldn’t convince me this is the better version. They’re having fun, people like the tune, that’s all that really matters.

[@BigSplenda1885]

I don't like the lyrics changes Sawyer Brown made to make it more Christian but they did play it better I love the voice

[@jamesbranham2217]

Dave Dudley i think sang it first..reviews his

[@steveblythe3544]

Listen to the original

[@shawnoverton7625]

Hi travis Suzy q

[@chriscody9378]

Do Garth brooks mom

[@pressendforspanish]

Right over your head. Thats a cover of a truck driving song, not a party song.

[@theheepster]

I'm bored with these cover versions. The first version is by Paul Davies (1961). Dave Dudley made this song a hit (1963), and this is the real version.

[@89801wink]

Then why are you here?
