Shooter Jennings "Belle of the Ball" // SiriusXM // Outlaw Country 

My exact thoughts.

I absolutely agree. Hank Jr. loved Waylon, who was not only Hank’s mentor, but good friend. When Hank was just starting out in the music business, Waylon asked Hank’s mother if he could take Hank on the road with him. This gave Hank his big break.

Beautiful comment!

He’s thee most underrated country musician, in my opinion

I agree with you both. Nothing more needs to be said.

That'd be great but not sure it's appropriate for a wedding. Kinda like Merle's Silver Wings. Never understood why people have breakup songs at their wedding

I Really love this shit...

Shooter Jennings Lukas Nelson Down by the river great song

Waylon also had two older boys with his first wife: Buddy (named after Buddy Holly) and Terry. Terry wrote a very loving book about his father in 2017. Unfortunately, Terry passed away earlier this year. Waylon also had four daughters, two of whom died of cancer shortly after Waylon died.

I actually thought he was holding back tears.

It an easy open lid. Improve.ent no plastic overrap

Agreed.

Yep I thought the exact same thing whenever I 1st heard shooter trying to cover his dad's song.... like you said, he will never completely understand the true feeling of this song, he will never get what this song is truly about and idk he can pretend that he knows but he really does not have a clue of what waylon jennings was going through at the time waylon wrote this song the feelings waylon was putting in writing this song the emotion its entirely waylon's song and nobody needs to ever try to cover it, not even his son shooter, should have just left this song alone, left it all to his dad..... and if you watch the whole tribute video there is 1 point of the video where hank jr is just singing a waylon tune just 1 right after the other I think jr was doing a medoly of different waylon songs and then after hank done like 2 or 3 hank jr turns to shooter more less wanting and waiting for shooter to start a medoly of his dad's songs and shooter looks up, he looks at hank then looks at jamey johnson like he was nervous or something and didn't know any of his dad's songs... I mean wtf man are you serious right now are you freakin kidding me that is fucking ridiculous dude... it's really not funny it's really embarrassing for hank jr, his mom Jessie and to his dad waylon and to all of the true fans of the original "outlaw" of country music and that would be Waylon Jennings! All I'm saying is you would think that shooter would know not just a couple or not just a few of his dad's stuff but you really would like to think that shooter jennings would know alot, I mean several, like at least 10 or so of his dad waylon's songs, and shooter should not have had a problem with running through a medoly doing a couple of waylon's songs I mean waylon jennings was/is your damn daddy dude damn it shooter learn some of your dad's songs man and leave "Belle of The Ball" alone please and thank you... that's all I've got to say about this, I wasn't even really as upset about shooter trying to do this cover of an amazing written song, wrote by his dad waylon but when he was put on the stop by hank jr to do a medoly of his dad's own songs, shooter just sat there puzzled and clueless 😳 🙄 wtf I mean he couldn't even think of 1 song of the top of his head like come on shooter that is not a good look for you when you can't think of 1 song that is bad really really bad, it's a shame that you have a dad that was and always will be a freakin legend and you don't know not 1 damn song of his, damn shooter I think you need to go home and listen to some of your dad's songs and learn them if your gonna try to get in front of a crowd and perform man that's all I'm trying to say about it, just my opinion though

@@taylorshults6276 spot on!!

Waylon said Belle of the Ball was his favorite song that he wrote himself. He has also said, as you noted, that Dreaming My Dreams was his favorite song that he ever recorded. But, the songs are in two different categories because he didn't write the latter; Dreams was penned by Allen Reynolds. That's the distinction.

"Dreaming My Dreams With You" was written by Allen Reynolds

Which sister? Shooter had four half sisters. Two died shortly after Waylon.

I personally like it he did great on singing it
