To any young pups who might stumble across this song this is what true country sounds like! and many other just like it. Its only a mater of time b4 it makes a come back this shit of today can't go on for much longer...........And yes I'm drunk.
Love all of his songs. It reminds me of drinking with my uncle. Then back in 2011 he committed suicide. So I listen to these songs when I can't think straight. Thanks for this.
I stopped listening to country music radio when they stopped playing country music, and I stopped watching NASCAR when Harry Gant stopped racing. It is nice to listen to real country and sharing it with friends at dirt race track in Kentucky. REAL country and REAL racing.
Gary Stewart at His Best. I've Been aTrue Fan Since I First Heard Gary Sing "Drinking Thing" During My High School Days, (Late Sixties)... And Here I Sit Still Listening to the Man, "Out of Hand" , "Backsliders' Wine", "She's Acting Single, I'm Drinking Doubles", "Single Again", "You're Not the Woman, You Used to be", to Name a Few... All Solid Gold Coming Out of Those Speakers!!!
Another of my favorite Gary Stewart songs. He is one of the very best. Never be another one like him. 🎹💕🎹🔥❤️🌹🕊️ BTW, Gary's wife didn't leave him. She was his high school sweetheart and they were married for over 40 years. She died of double pneumonia. Gary didn't commit suicide because of this. Please read what I wrote to benniesweat.
I first saw Gerry Stewart with Jerry Lee Lewis, I was impressed, he had a lot of tragedies in his life, They say he killed himself because his wife died, if he loved her that much, that would be reason enough to carry on in her memory.
@benniesweat9848 You heard wrong. Yes Gary lost his wife, who he loved, to double pneumonia. He didn't kill himself because of that. He was deeply depressed when this happened. His doctor gave him Prozac, knowing he should not, because it had been taken off the market, since it caused too many people to commit suicide. Further more, his doctor, and all doctors, knew to ask their patients 2 questions before giving them Prozac, before it was removed off the market. Those 2 questions are: 1) Are you aggressive? and 2) Are you suicidal? If the patient answers YES, to either question, the doctor is NOT to prescribe it. Gary had taken Prozac, which his doctor gave him for at least 3 days, and then killed himself. If he had NOT been given the deadly, off the market Prozac, he would have lived. You can Google it for yourself.
I have this album "your not the women you used to be" it is probally one of his best a couple of truck driving songs and of course whiskey drinking heartache songs as well
I've never heard this one before, boy....it's a great song and the lyrics are so fantastic....it did bring a tear tho...cuz I wish that Gary was still with us....thanks for the post!
Gary and I have spent many many years together....he has seen me through a lot of nights when nothing else but his raw true country music telling true stories about my life would help get me in the drinking mood LMAO but I never heard this one
Yep real true country music like it used to Was , These Fakes Now days Just can't write A song That comes Any where near This , & want to call it Country !!! RIP Gary
@starr522 Your comments are so true. It has bewildered me how some of the people supposedly singing country songs are so well liked, when nothing they sing sounds country at all. Absolutely nothing personally against any of them, but what they're selling these days by the folks you've mentioned doesn't even vaguely remind me of the country music I remember.
My favorite Tear Jerker is Drinking Again it brings me back to the ONE MAN I WAS IN LOVE WITH who would not quit drinking, needles to say divorce was inevitable and he was found dead of a massive heart attack about 7 years ago ,I still cry when I hear Gary sing this song. I live across the street from his Beautiful Daughter Shannon and her husband Royce still in the house she was born in,she is a wonderful person I Love them both.
Was thinking the other day; wouldn't it be great if someone would do a compulation of Gary's songs and the artist that came to me was Billy Joe Royal. What are your thoughts.
Sadly, Lee, the great Billy Joe Royal passed away himself just a couple years back. Inspired selection though. He could easily have done justice to Gary's classics.B.W.
Whose fault is that when you want someone you don’t ignore them and expect them to wait till you pick up the courage to finally speak when it’s all gone
Love all of Gary's music grew up listening absolutely real country Been looking for his song Merry-go-round had it several years ago saved and now I don't have it Any help on that anyone ?
While I agree with your comment of a month ago, I' m old nd I' slow now. lol Anyway. Money is what drives Music. The Excecs, on the Row sold us all out. Even the 60 and over crowd that controls the industry. The voices and the respect went to hell. Now they try and force Taylor Swift, Daruis Rucker and the rest of the crap on us. I guess we missed Billy Ray Cyrus' little girl being forced on us. No she was played stupid in a weekly TV program. Him as well. Just ranting.
