John Anderson - Would You Catch a Falling Star

Classic John Anderson from 1983.

[@62fut]

All you newbys to Country Music, This is how its supposed to sound like -- THE REAL DEAL ---- Thanks for posting VVVVVVVVVVVery nice

[@scottbaker1800]

That's a steel guitar. That's a fiddle. If you Newbys want to throw in a mandolin ok.

[@scottbaker1800]

And that's soul and feeling and singing.... not talking or rapping or reading words into a microphone

[@marilynsparnicht6190]

YES!!!

[@sandraharper94]

Amen to that!!! 🙏❤

[@jameseaton5703]

Probably the most underated singer in Country Music History. Pure Country Gold, John Anderson. I remember watching this episode of Hee Haw with my Parents.. I was 10 or 11.

[@brendonlacelle2091]

I agree !!!!. John said it right with the song for sure

True great classic country music . John Anderson the last of the breed

[@marywilson2451]

True country. I love his voice.

[@W5KVV]

Good stuff. Old school John Anderson. REAL COUNTRY. Back when country was country.

[@85points85]

I seen John live back in about 94 at the Crazy Horse in orange county CA, a small venue it was like he was singing in my living room. Those were the day's

[@Justinarmstrong0089]

I just mentioned he started up in 2018 or so doing small personal venues like you are talking about. I'd love to go see the man. What a life has probably had!

[@stallout78]

Why can't they make true country music like this anymore??

[@AdrianTomlin-tx3so]

Not enough just good ol country song writers anymore. They died with this classic country.

[@paulgroshon5040]

Sellouts like KZbin

[@eyoung2289]

If you don't like this you have no business listening to music ever again...

I ❤ this song

[@CA10Z]

As a Steel Guitar player we/I would play these three to four times a week. I sure miss those days....and my youth....

[@XSwingGolf]

those days are gone for ever. The new face of country has bamboo hoops in their ears and pins in their eyelids. It's a shame.....

[@AnnieBoBannie421]

And that’s all… 0 talent… can’t play instruments, can’t even read music? How did this happen??

[@carlvieira9649]

This song is from that good ol days.

[@tonymccutcheon4952]

Country music will die after this generation of singers. The only hope for country music is singers like Jeff Bates now. John hope you and Foggy and Lionel are relaxing... ya'll deserve it.

[@sunnysaunders9689]

Country music as it should be. So much talent! What a beautiful voice. Why has he never been recognized by the country music establishment?

[@russelldumont3881]

SUNNY SAUNDERS shunshine

[@gregoryhazelwood5749]

Well, he has been recognized. He had five number 1 singles and nominations for Song of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, and Album of the Year. The "country music establishment" largely regards John Anderson as one of the most talented and unique voices in the genre.

[@1168a]

What is country music?? JOHN ANDERSON It just dosen't get any better then the voice of John Anderson.

[@83dubbie]

I saw him in Danvaille VA in the summer of 2009 man did he jam the stage this cat is one of the best SING IT JOHN!!!!

[@rockingwithreecie3255]

One of the most unique voices to ever hit the stage.

[@rickyhino2367]

Not really a country music loving guy ,but this guy is great .

[@Sandshark17]

Not a very unique voice if you've heard interviews, but the fascinating thing is his innovative tone fluctuation, that wasn't popular at the time and its not recognized as much as it should be now due to damned autotune

[@thomascarpenter7415]

He was tearing up the charts back in the 80s & 90s ! 🇺🇸

[@dianemiller3432]

True country at it's finest! John Anderson has a wonderful singing voice. Another great song by him is; "I just came home to count the memories".

[@theMichaelsLi]

I wish there was a country station around these parts that played oldies, THIS song is classic-classy and just plain awesome! More folks need to hear real music

[@Imayorkiemom]

I am in luck, our country radio station plays all these oldies plus the new!! I do love this song and John Anderson is just plain great!!!!

[@DemocratsRPedos]

John Anderson, from apopka Florida. Good music, love him.

[@sandramiller8701]

I always liked John Anderson voice. He was very talented. good singer. my favorite song by him was. I just came home to count the memories. I keep thinking Elvis Presley would liked that song because he lived of memories a home he never forgot where he came from.

[@richardadams2702]

Clayton Delaney

[@kylechip]

You know, this song was written about Ferlin Husky who, years ago, did a song called, "A Fallen Star." I met Ferlin a few years ago and went to hear him sing at The Village Barn in Bradenton, Florida. Sure enough, he drove a little van, and we fans that turned out to hear him sing were few. Ferlin was a great entertainer in his day, and John Anderson still is great!!

[@badtexasbill5261]

Anderson always bringing something interesting to the genre. This guy is as genuine as it gets.

[@loungecruz]

so damn good

[@edgarcia5057]

Back when country was country and country wasn't cool. Whooodoggy! Good ole times kicking saw dust on the floor at John Henrys dance hall!

A dam good song real country music right there

[@AmyHWickham]

Oh yes! Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@dublinhuntin]

I saw him in Gratna, La in the early 80's. He would do 3-4 shows there a year. I wish he'd come back thru!

[@itsabritishthang]

Okay, I was born long after John Anderson was doin his stuff, but I wish this is what people still call country instead we are never ever ever getting back together and songs like that.

[@paulmydonick2141]

a few years ago I found a drug dealers cell ph. different prices for different highs . best part thing was the song John Anderson was singing great singer never heard of him before ,I don't do any drugs ,I don't condem anyone if they do. we all have our own cross to carry .

[@loungecruz]

AWESOME

[@gordbrown573]

Even in the 80's there was great Country. Unlike today!!!!

[@JTBCOOL1]

gord brown I agree nowadays is a bunch of crap. I am young but I still know Good Country Music. Today I'm telling ya it has the same ole stuff in there. Plus it has some pop music aspects in it which kills it. I am not saying ALL is bad but 90% is bad. I might be a city slicker (wish I lived in the country) but I know good country music. I been listening to a little of Randy Travis lately.

[@johncox1570]

Come on Gord --you know that Brad Paisley Nationwide song rocks the house !!!

[@alesiaesquibel2719]

@@JTBCOOL1 WHAT WOUID "WE" DO WITHOUT , THIS GREAT MUSIC.

[@ParkerAllen2]

The 1980's was the last great era in country music - John Anderson, Ricky Skaggs, Lyle Lovett, Dwight Yoakam, George Strait. First time I heard Garth Brooks and saw how successful he was with that country-pop sound, I knew it was over. Practically everybody after Brooks does country-lite. But that golden period before country-music-for-people-who-don't-like-country-music took over was great while it lasted, and those guys that came out of that era still produce some terrific stuff.

"Pop with a twang." That's what my son calls today's country. I'm not much of a country fan, but I am definitely a fan of John Anderson!
