If someone had never heard country music, and had no idea what is was like... let Suzy sing them this song -- It's the perfect definition of country music.. And she is Fabulous!
Should be a law against someone so gorgeous having a voice like that! And she seems to have a wonderful personality as well! The whole package!! Thanks Suzy, for sharing that amazing gift with the world.
I saw one cd cover ,I wasn,t into country,just saw her pretty face.I listened and fell in love with her voice. my 18 yr old daughter went from pop to country.she doesn,t remember I played Suzy when she was a baby.Got the videos to proove it! a prettier country voice you will never find!
Have loved her since the first time I heard her on the album with Chet Atkins.. I heat the grossly overused word -great-, but in her case. I'll use it..she has a "Great" voice, clear and beautiful and pitch perfect. And anyone who who loves Chet, has stolen my heart ! Please come back on tour to Edmonton, so I can attend a live performance !
Merle Haggard wrote that song....Susie made an entire album with Merle's song and Merle was completely blown away...he was so impressed with the drinking songs that she did, he never imagined a woman singing those. She is one voice that ranks up there with the best, I never felt she got the notariety that she deserved....but, Merle and George thought she was wonderful, that's enough in her book I'm sure!
Great voice and expression. The lyrics of the song express the feeling I am having now. I have been singing and listening to this song for 9 hours today.
I went to a Jimmy Fortune concert last night. 19 year old Ivy Phillips accompanied him on his tour and she sang this song and it was incredible so I had to look it up and found this terrific version too. I must admit I'm not much of a fan of Country music, I leave that to my wife but this was the first time I ever heard this song and both versions blew me away.
They are right I never knew Merle Haggard wrote this song but Suzy Bogguss is got a beautiful voice and I love this lady she knows what country music is all about when she sings this song it brings a tear to my eye because she's got such a soft-spoken t o n e to her voice and she is a very beautiful woman but when she sings this kind of reminds me of Elvis she puts her heart and soul into this song like you always put his heart and soul into his songs even if they were written by somebody else you could just feel that heartfelt feeling and she does that God bless Suzy Bogguss she has done a wonderful job singing this song that was written by the late Merle Haggard may he rest in peace he'll be sadly missed but he's never forgotten by his true fans
Very well done! Another performance on this song is also very well done. It is with Kathleen Burnett and Colin Ray, recorded in the kitchen with just the two of them and his guitar. Shortly after recording this kitchen performance, Colin proposed to Kathleen, adding a whole another dimension to the performance!!!
I got to see Suzy Bogguss in Orlando @ 1993 and that was after my then girlfriend had introduced me to her music. There is no doubt her voice is amazing in clarity, pitch, and emotion. In saying that, as i watched this video, while her voice is spot on, look at her eyes, listen outside the voice and you can tell, something was running underneath that song or show. I wish I could see more. I don't know if it was a sadness, exhaustion, her energy was way down and the band was sounding the same. Please, I love this song, she did sing it well, but I've see her in many other videos and of course, live...there was a spark missing in this moment.
