Few people know that he achieved his greatest success in the 1980s.He is the younger brother of country music legend Lefty Frizzel.Yes, a beautiful song that never gets old.
Gene Watson got better with age and that's animally most singers lose a little as they age but this David Frizzell did what Gene did he is even better if anyone thought that was possible great job David, always a true star.
I can't stop listening to this song. David Frizzell does such a great job on this song. Such a true and heart felt song. So much feeling and so heart touching. I just love his voice and the way he puts so much feeling and emotion in this beautiful song. His unique voice drawed my attention when I was about 11 years of age and every since I first heard him and then on, I couldn't get enough of his awesome talent. Much love and respect for him and where ever you may go, may the good lord continue to follow and keep his hands upon you. 🙏
I love how most of the crowd are so engrossed and you can see they are reliving those years in their minds, Marty Haggard wasn't born yet, but he knew that was a song near and dear to his Dad's heart,,,, Benny doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve, so it's hard to make him out during this song....but, he was born right at the turn of the century, so I don't expect him to understand the lyrics or that time of innocence....hoping his Dad explained it to him! Thanks for posting this,,,I have always loved David Frizell!
Beautifully narrated by you what you said... and so truly the lyrics..... never ever can such awesome Country be Country again in these times sadly though.
Many things were different for sure. A lot more slow pace and I appreciate that as well and love the vibes I get from this music. There were also "Whites only" diners etc. So yeah, guess we easily fall for the trap to take in all the impressions the modern world present us. But that's up to you to filter and then live your life like you want to. But "Everything was good and right" is just not true, that's a romantic telling of any time from the past.. Hope my Dinglish makes sense..
Sixty-six was still a narrow two-lane highway Harry Truman was the man who ran the show The bad Korean war was just beginning And I was just three years too young to go Country Music hadn't gone to New York City yet And a service man was proud of what he'd done Hank and Lefty crowded ev'ry jukebox That's the way it was in fifty one. There's so much about the good old days I'd love to tell And there's folks around I know still remember well Slow dancin' close together when a ballad played 'Cause a thing called Rock and Roll was yet to come It was a big year for a drive-in rest'rant car hop That's the way it was in fifty one.

Yeah! Hank and Lefty crowded ev'ry jukebox A That's the way it was in fifty one.
I remember the 50's well. I married in the fifties and the world seemed so good. We didn't have TV constantly "reporting" some disaster to worry or concern us. I shut my TV off 10 years ago for that reason.
1951 I was 5years old. just started ist. grade and already loved country. Barn Dances were popular and every radio station played Country music.Rembering brings tears to this old Hill Billy!
I sure do miss the 70s, 80s and 90s. The music🎷 today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
He just tears this song up! Fantastic! He's made me a fan! I've heard several other big name singers do this song, but to me David is much better than any of them. Lefty couldn't have done it better.
I wish I could like that one a hundred more times:) I think its great because she's truly singing to God, there's a presents in the room, I'm pretty sure there were some in the room that probably weren't christians but everyone was moved by it and it wasn't just the performance.

Just played the church sisters for the four dozenth time, what can anyone say, but, absolutely beautiful. Just great, the song and the girls singing, were made for each other. Love it. Larry Heaberlin, retired C & W DJ, 28 years and proud of it, back when Country was country.
1951 I was 6 years old my daddy and mom went to Saturday night square dances and honky Tonks on Friday nights they took me with Hank and Lefty I still love the music there is nothing that will take the place of this music as bear as I am concerned
