I'm not even American but i love this song sooo bad. Everytime i listen to this song i feel like I am an outlaw of the 19th century, riding my badass horse. Greetings from Greece.
It's all about the money and who got a contract, who was marketable. It's the industry and who they can make money from. Steeldrivers are relatively well known and did well for themselves in a real successful way. Chris has a really special voice that is one of a kind and he made some good choices with his career.
Late one night behind corn whiskey I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand I dreamed about the ghosts of Mississippi And the blues came walkin' in like a man Without a word I passed that guitar over He tuned it up like I'd never seen A crooked smile was his expression Then he closed his eyes and began to sing Oh Lord why have you forsaken me Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be Oh Lord why have you forsaken me Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be Oh Lord why have you forsaken me Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be Oh Lord why have you forsaken me Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be When I woke up I looked into the mirror I saw no reflection for a while But as my eyes came into focus I recognized that crooked smile Oh Lord why have you forsaken me Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be Oh Lord why have you forsaken me Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be Late one night behind corn whiskey I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand I dreamed about the ghosts of Mississippi And the blues came walkin' like a man Oh Lord why have you forsaken me Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be Oh Lord why have you forsaken me Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be
This is the first I'm hearing this band. Definitely goin on a deep dive with them soon. And to the 3,000 people who disliked this, they wouldn't know good country music if it slapped em in the face.

I'm a Towboat Captain & the Ole Mighty Mississippi is my home away from home...next time y'all standing on the bank &you hear this song jamming out of the wheelhouse of a boat.. just know its me! this song JAMS!!
I'm a detail officer and I've actually had some old school blues singers for inmates and this reminds me of one of the old chain gang songs that they would sing
Unless they killed somebody, or committed a violent crime like armed robbery, they shouldn't have been in prison. It's completely fkd up we have made an industry of jailing people. But it is the new de facto slave.trade.
@@patriciaalberts4026 so we don't punish people for stealing or commuting fraud???? Should we just impose a fine on them and not jail them?? Then you liberals would again complain that the system supports the rich ... Either give a better system or just fuck off.
@@patriciaalberts4026 Its obvious you haven't had the chance to be a victim of crime. Your a simpleton, don't impose your bullshit on the rest of society that actually lives/works in the world you shy away from. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
@@patriciaalberts4026 you got all that right...the democrat communist kkk party is still in the slaver business and they use the cops to keep the jails full of free labor these days.
@@snow-rm3jx did I say that? Let me guess. You're white. Probably middle class. You've never been affected by systemic racism and cash bonds that you can't pay. Jailed even though you were innocent because you can't post bond. Jailed for years even though you were acquitted at trial. Because you couldn't post cash bonds

Reminds me of my childhood when my dad's cousins and mine would come over with their banjos n spoons. Everyone sat around and jammed. Everyone. It was a good childhood.
@@cardinalsausage8486 LOL Nope, the late 20th Century. Not the 19th lol! It really wasn't that long ago when the world was like this believe it or not. Fresno, CA used to be full of farmers and my dad's cousins had a Bluegrass band.
@@Beansie how old? Like 40? Your still kickin dust and what not. I'm sure you had a good trail behind ya, just when ya do go. Lay that banjo steadily where it may forever stand where you lye.
Im Mexican American born and bred in The farmlands of middle California Hell! Ive never been down to the South! But I swear in a past life I was livin in the deep south.This music cuts into my heart . Damn it!
I’m Mexican American and I love country and blues brotha. Nothing wrong with putting on your boots, jumping on your atv with your bow and a cooler mounted to the back to practice your shot with your buds and your girl
SteelDrivers is always a great sound ,always a blessing. Chris was a wonderful addition . Now we have their music and his music to enjoy. Both move my soul to the core. Thank y'all for your gift.
I am so glad that Chris Stapleton is finally in the Spotlight. I love this Blues Grass Project, SteelDrivers and especially this song. I live a couple of miles from the Mississippi River and go over to Natchez quite a bit. Nothing like driving up and down those hills and roads where History was made. From the Natchez Indians, French, Spanish, English and everything in between. This song sums it up perfectly.
As a proud and grateful native resident of Mississippi, I make exception for this song because it’s just that good. Ain’t nothing like the history, the culture, the real spiritual experience of Southern Gothic music. God bless this sound.
I was at a bar that was playing a bunch of crap modern country pop on Pandora where amongst the sad, pathetic sound of so called country singers trying to be rappers, this gem arose from the sewage. How it got there I don't know, but that 6 minutes and 14 seconds almost completely makes up for the 2 hours of that other shit.
I probably don't live too far from you---live south of Ocala----like to go on the Ocklawaha River---the wild unfucked up parts of it that still remain---we are fast losing what is left of "old Florida." I'd help stoke that fire and pretty soon----can bring some Florida made "shine" to the party.....play this song and some other kick ass music----like Ray Wylie Hubbard's "South of the River!!" A true kick ass song for sure--no lame assed "pop goes the country" bullshit that they play on the commercial country radio stations----Saw RWH last fall at the St. Augustine Ampitheater---he did a kick ass show! To those who say that they are Mississippi River Rats--I am an Ohio River, river rat----I first went on that river before I could walk and boated it on and off for years----till just a few years ago----but I am not done with that river and the rest of the rivers connected with it and the Mighty Mississip….even though for now----the St. Johns and the Ock are "my rivers" being back down here in Florida again....I was on the seas for pretty much four years back when I was in the Coast Guard-----but I always found myself missing rivers---to me----something special about them. The ocean is pretty---but rivers---something special about them that I just cannot describe....
i did not know this was Chris Stapleton sing. When i started reading the comments i was like I'll be damned lmao. makes sense and no wonder they sound so familiar. 😂
I'm 25 years young and live just a tab bit north of ya'll up in British Columbia. I love this! We got the good old muddy Fraser river running through our back yard. Great fishin'. Especially in the fall for Salmon :)
This album played and replayed when I made jewellery.. it's so good...get lost in it.. supreme stuff...and introduced me to Chris Stapleton...none finer
The fiddle player is a godess from heaven she kicks ass on that fiddle 🎻the rest of the band also is a perfection of I believe God's work 💪 very strong and bluegrass powerful alliance ohio 🙌 love you steeldrivers
The SteelDrivers - Oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be. Hank 3 - And I take my shots straight out of the jug and I like to do a little dance in that Mississippi mud.
friggen luv this song....only i change chorus to...oh lord why have you forsaken me.....got me down in elk city where I dont wanna be. been in hell since '95 get me out of here...!!!! Great song....been playing it back to back for the past 4 days...!!
This awesome. I really wish that the so called "country" music these days wasn't so "Hollywood" like. I can't even listen to the radio these days and I live in NW Montana far from any damn city.
LOL...put some tunes you like on your iPhone and play them on your Bose Wave sound system or you can link to the radio in your Prius ...just kidding ;), I know what you mean though.
Ed Jones most everything is catchy, trendy, empty, hollow these days. And it's only getting worse. Seek truth now, while we have time. This fallen world is falling away. Find peace in your soul, trust Jesus Christ & stay strong brother 👐
Ed Jones Check out some Cody Jinks, Whitey Morgan, Ward Davis, Sturgill Simpson, Whiskey Myers, or Sunny Sweeney. They are all youngish but very talented traditional style country music artists. I have seen 3 of those mentioned in person in the last year, Ward Davis twice, and plan on seeing the rest soon.
Montana was settled by a whole lot of Confederates after the Civil War...filled in by immigrants after that. We are bout half country up here, except for some of the California implants driving teslas and subarus. This music runs through our blood.
why Lord why have you forsaken me got me up in Tennessee where I don't want to be oh Lord why have you forsaken me let me go home to Mississippi for. that's right where I want to be. for those of us who like the song but we live in Mississippi and damn proud of it :-)
Not Country it's Bluegrass. There is a difference. Ky. Hillbilly here. Heard Bluegrass winding down the hollar drifting through the tree's, skipping over the creek many times. Bluegrass came from the hills and mountains of Ky. Scotts, English, Irish sound incorporated the banjo from the South with a mournful solitairy sound. The hardships of the hills is what makes it personal to those who get it. ✌️☯️🎶
Quel dommage qu'une majorité de Français passent à coté de ce morceau génial. Soyez rassurés il en existe quand même. Continuez, vous avez toute mon énergie pour vous soutenir.
I liked the Steeldrivers before I liked Chris Stapleton, I had no idea he was in that band. It's obvious now that I'm listening to the Steeldrivers again.
The Lord does not forsake us, it is only when we lose faith that we forsake the Lord. Find hope again, because the Lord is always with us, you, me, all of us. Just call on Him, Jesus will answer.
This process this band uses is timeless and seamless. They remove any difficulty we may have to appreciate the multi-dimensional flow of their message.
Exactly it's basically the idea that you could have many layers to it but the main aspect or reality of it is there is nothing more because you can't sell your soul so you wake up believing that s*** that would have been cooler would have been nice and I mean it was just a drunken nightmare
Everytime I play this in any bar I am in, I get almost everyone in there asking to write down who it is... So they can remeber it!!! Love this band!!!!
