Luckenbach is basically a crossroads, with a saloon, country store and Post Office. This song revived the town, as people wanted to see what Waylon was singing about, as you just expressed, "Nobody Feelin' No Pain" means simply that nobody has to be if a hurry or feel pressured to perform, but rather can return to their roots and be humans and not Stars.

[@lisawilham-pepper]

Yea all in one building haha. We were there in 1976 and passed through the place and actually had to turn around and go back. My dad was stationed at Ft Hood at the time. I can remember when they also visited Gilly's.

[@mikematusek4233]

And where he went to record in the early days was the Norm & Vie Pettit Studios in Clovis, New Mexico.

[@tangokaleidos1926]

I went there in the 70's. I always thought that "nobody feelin no pain" was because nobody was living there.

[@rogerkelly7988]

This song is iconic as it was one of the first alluding to the outlaw country that Waylon, Willie, Johnny and Kris made mainstream to country music radio

[@shilohauraable]

And back in the day, their concerts could get pretty wild! 😂 I'd love to hear a reaction of Kris Kristopher's "Help Me Make It Through The Night". Sigh.... 🤗

[@onlyme114]

Waylon was married to Jessi Colter and Lord how they loved each other. She has a beautiful voice. She recorded a song called I'M NOT LISA that was popular. They were cute together. I'm sure they had their problems but they were great together. 💖💖💖

This reminds me of going to my mamaw and papaw’s house. You could hear Waylon as soon as you get out of the truck. She would cooking something and he would have a Budweiser and cussing the Braves.

[@jameslay5236]

Keep bringing Waylon!! ✌️✌️❤️

[@patticriss2238]

A song I remembered yesterday by Merle Haggard. His tribute song to Elvis when he died. Elvis gave Johnny cash his first job. They all knew one another. It’s called “From Graceland to the Promised Land”. It truly is a beautiful song. And his performance is beautiful as well.

[@billybee3423]

Ahhhh Yes, you picked the “coked up” version of this song. Way faster than normal. What’s in Lukenbach? Not a damn thing! That’s what so great about it!

[@rowdy7480]

Love your descriptions! And all true, lol!

[@kindune2112]

Speaking of "Blue Eyes Crying in The Rain", that's a great song by Willie

[@garyevans3421]

Luckenbach, Tx is a tiny little place. It’s most famous resident was a man named Hondo Crouch. He was a rancher, author and Humorist. Supposedly, he was quite the sight in his wore out boots showing up to his school’s University of Texas football games and sitting among ex governors and other dignitaries. After writing books and Waylon and Willie making his home world famous, some writer showed up taking pics and interviewing him. The city guy couldn’t believe his ranch pickup that Hondo drove him around in. The dashboard was piled high with tools and old cigar boxes filled with smaller tools! He was quite the character. On a visit to the Texas Hill Country, my grandma bought one of his books. Fredericksburg is the big town in the region and as the name implies, the area has a large German population and influence. When driving through the area, there were rock walls around old rock farmhouses. It takes quite the craftsman to stack rock with no morter to make them stay up for 150 years! You have to know what you’re doing! By the way, Willie and Waylon sang this song as a duet, and Willie’s part has him singing “Willie and Waylon and the boys!”

[@rutroe88]

Love this song , and i love your channel. I feel like I get to enjoy theses songs all over again, hear them for the first time through you.

[@ms.cellaneous7458]

Luchenbach brings back good memories. I'm no singer but when my son was born the song was fairly new and I would sing it to him as I rocked him to sleep at night. Baby didn't like the usual lullabies. When he was around 12, we went to Luckenbach, Texas...it was his idea and lots of fun. He was my only child and passed away at 31, a little over 10 years ago. I miss him very much but love the memories.

[@randallcox6573]

My brother in law was Wes Jacops. He played with Waylon in the very beginning. They were cousins. Wes was drafted and be came a 10year Staff Sergeant. He got out and went work with my father. When Waylon came to Jackson Ms. he stayed at Wes's house and I always got a back stage pass. Went on tour with them when I was 18.

[@deploribusrex4480]

Question: "What's in Luchenbach?" If you go there, YOU are in Luckenbach. Hopefully, if you bring them along, those whom you LOVE are in Luckenbach. If you stay there long enough and bring a love for the simple unpretentious life, then your soul will reside in Luckenbach. That's the central message of this song. It doesn't matter where you are, what you have (materially), etc. What matters is that you reorient your soul to experience gratitude and express love. That's the beauty of it. So glad the wonderful owner of this channel is checking out this genre of music and building bridges with her work. Great job!

[@laurogarza4953]

You hit the nail on the head! The wisdom related here is "...because you can't take it with you when you go..." so "let's go live somewhere where we are 'rich in the things that matter.'"

[@rowdy7480]

I love your thumbnail for my favorite, Waylon. The pure joy on your face listening to his music was worth waiting for!! My request, if you have time, is Waylon's "I've Always Been Crazy". It's the anthem of my life. Stay blessed, Tasha.

[@robc.8269]

The best version of this song is the album version of a duet with Waylon & Willie Nelson. Luckenbach is where Willie would take his friends to get way from the crowds & play dominoes. They aren't feeling any pain cause there just drinking & playing music. In Willie's first movie Honeysuckle Rose, Willie has a family reunion with the band in Luckenbach & everyone gets drunk & have a ot of fun.

[@danielslover8669]

Waylon Jennings is my all time favorite country music artist. He so much great music. Thank you for this. I’m sure you know that he was considered “outlaw country “ which makes me like him even more. Good country is about life situations.

[@ginger4141]

They broke the mold when they made him. Country music has never been the same when passed. 😎

[@texaspatriot4215]

I'm a Texas native though I've been away for several years, I've been to Luckenbach several times, it's all about a simpler way of life, good food, good music and good people.

[@Jacob-er5xb]

About this song Waylon said, "I knew it was a hit song even though I didn't like it. And still don't). The original version is worth listening to. It has a slower tempo which fits the theme of the song better and there's a surprise guest singer at the end (hint: he's named in the song).

[@chrisdutton2975]

This might be my favorite song of all time. Thanks for doing it. Glad you liked it.

At Luckenback, everyone is laid back . it's a bar, post office, little store where people just go to relax. It has a huge outdoor stage where some big names have performed. And you never know when they might show up. It's always been a fun place to visit. I was lucky enough to have visited a few times when performers have played and we always had a great time. Our names are on at least one table there. Lol

[@bobbyecrockett1710]

Thank you for playingWaylon, the greatest of them all! So ironic that this was one of his biggest hits and he hated it! He would often change the lyrics for fun.he said it reminded him to much of Good Time Charlie Has The Blues! Waylon was an original.❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰

What's in luckenbach is a souvenir shop a post office some picnic tables and an old barn that's been converted into a dance hall on a saloon and if I recall correctly two houses.

The Jerry Jeff he mentions is Jerry Jeff Walker, a singer/songwriter who had a very long career as kind of a cult favorite. Chec out his 'Jaded Lover,' which was one of his most popular songs.

[@blfrie]

My bandmate and I used to play Luckenbach every once in a while. Was always fun to sit in the picker's circle and jam with the other musicians who happened to be there.

[@sidneycrossley7802]

Last time I was in Lukenbach there was a small store/ post office/ fire truck... 2 outhouses, and a big, nice dance floor with a big stage for the band.

[@garyevans3421]

I think Willie held his 4th of July picnic concert and gatherings there until they had more people than the local facilities could handle. Willie has always been cool to fans and regular people in general. If some locals were distressed about the huge crowds, he wouldn’t want them to suffer!

[@tical523]

Waylon was his own man, one of a kind.

[@bobr4987]

If you're on a country journey, you need to see this country Acapella group called "Home Free". As a way to get introduced to the group listen to their version of "Man of Constant Sorrow" Since they are Acapella, there are no instruments, but their beatboxer makes all the instrument sounds By his voice. You will be amazed! Thanks!

[@hookstomper7322]

Perhaps my favorite country tune of all time. Waylon sang like a MAN.

There is almost nothing in Luckenbach, TX. There are just a few buildings: post office, saloon, general store and a dance hall. At the time the song was recorded, the population of Luckenbach was in the single digits. Less than 10 people lived there. Waylon said in his biography that one of the cowriters, Chips Moman, had brought it to Waylon but told Waylon “I got a song here and you can’t do it because your name’s in it”. Waylon knew the song would be a hit but he didn’t like it. He recorded it anyway simply because Chips told him he couldn’t. Neither Chips Moman, Bobby Emmons (the other writer), or Waylon Jennings had ever been to Luckenbach, TX. He just said that it was a tiny town in Texas where you could get away from everything. Another great artist, Jerry Jeff Walker, recorded a lot of his songs in Luckenbach.

[@757optim]

In what I assume was the studio version of Willie and Waylon performing the song together that I used to hear on the radio, the reference to Mickey Newbury, "Newbury's train songs", is changed to a reference to Jerry Jeff Walker, "Jerry Jeff's train songs" in the later verse. When Willie comes in, he also changes "With Waylon and Willie and the boys" to "With Willie and Waylon and the boys". Willie & Waylon were at the top of the heap in those fun days.

[@michaelstamper3096]

Pick it Moon were three of Waylon's most famous words. Ralph Mooney was the great steel guitar player.

[@martypringle9201]

[@michellejackson6679]

Waylon is probably my all time favorite male country singer... I just love his smooth country voice. Unfortunately the sound quality of this video doesn't give justice to his voice in my opinion... but still love it. Thank u

[@s.rry-guld2961]

here is a song Ive never heard ANYONE React to, "The Wallbash CannonBall" its an old country song about a Rail Road Train. fun to listen to, and as My Grampa used to say "Its a Real Toe Tapper" lol

[@tedyellacatbabb5718]

There’s not much in Luckenbach. There’s a country store, a hamburger joint, an old dancehall, and an old pecan tree where People sit and listen to people playing pass the guitar every afternoon (all afternoon). You can bet that they’ll sing this song every 30 minutes for the next batch of tourists coming through.

[@ednafenton7558]

If you listen to the studio version, you can hear Willie Nelson singing with Waylon. They sang & toured together a lot in the 70's. If l remember correctly they had a disagreement in the late 70's & didn't talk or sing together for a while.

There is nothing in Lukenbach Texas but you can get a beer and listen to some good music, it is a well known hang out for country music stars and you just never who is going to show up. A lot of Texas local singers show up on weekends. You can have a good time and feel like your away from everything. You should make a road trip.

I was there years ago while on a vacation in the Texas Hill Country. We had heard that it was hard to find, so we asked for directions in Fredericksburg, The guy warned us that folks keep stealing the Lukenbach Highway sign. And the Texas Highway Department would have to replace it. Sure enough when we reached the turnoff there was no sign. Don’t know if they still steal the sign.

[@gordonduke8812]

You are on the right track. Country music is truly music for the soul. Another artist you should explore is Ann Murray. Try her song "He Needed Me". I promise you and your followers will enjoy.

[@charlottebrookssprinkles1424]

The Highwaymen by The Highwaymen...Is a must listen!

[@randall-king]

Outlaw country isn’t just the sound. The lyrics are also “alt”. Examples: • Delia’s Gone • Cocaine Blues • Don’t You Think This Outlaw Bit’s Done Got Out of Hand • A Boy Named Sue These and more had foul language, drug use, murder, and so forth that made them something that wouldn’t have come from Nashville before then, and probably not now either.

The recording of this that most people recognize and remember is sung with Willie Nelson, and is slower. This is still a good version. The difference isn't too stark, as it is between his two versions of his song called "Outlaw Sh×t."

[@charliamador6967]

Waylon was suppose to have been on the plane(crashed, "the day the music died") that killed Buddy Holly, J.P "The Big Bopper" Richardson, and Ritchie Valens. Waylon gave his seat to The Big Bopper, because he had been so sick, and their bus' heater was broken. He dealt with survivors guilt ever since. If he hadn't given up his seat, just think of all the good music we wouldn't have had.
