TOREE TOREE TOREE!!!! INCREDIBLE!! FLAWLESS and listening to your vocals, I close my eyes and there she is: Joplin, Nicks, Bonnie Tyler, and a hint of Tina Turner..... All so raspy!!!! I have heard a handful of renditions (covers) to this song, and yes, others sound great and maybe better, but you standout because you are Toree with perfection....... Carry On!!! Put a CD together and I am on it!!
Girls CAN sing it, because I just did! Lol. A woman was actually one of the 2 writers on this song, so I don't think it was intended solely for a man. Thanks for watching it though!!
billy hill he sure did! And it was totally different when it was first released. Sadly, a lot of older songs get lost in the shuffle of time, so Chris Stapleton breathes new life into it and certainly did make the song a big deal - which is why a lot of people who didn’t know the George Jones version actually do know the song now. We did several takes of this song and I did mention GJ in some of the others, but I guess not in this one. Either way, the song version as I’m singing it here is certainly a big deal because of Stapleton, and the original is a big deal because of George. Thanks for the comment!
