Up Against The Wall Redneck Mother, Jerry Jeff Walker. 

I am 69 , a Black woman and I love this song! Proud Southern, no one knows how to party like we do country 😊

68 year old man here after 50 years still listening and diggin it!!

My first intro to Jerry Jeff was "Backsliders Wine." "Redneck Mother" sealed the deal. 86-years-old now, haven't forgotten the words, or the good times.

I am from Manchester, England. I first heard this as a New Riders of the Purple Sage version around 1978. It just stuck with me. Fast forward to 2017 and a bar in Dallas, Texas with two local lads playing a selection of guitars and I heard that intro, you know the one. Total recall. I was up there singing it, a few words changed and missed here and there but they knew I knew. The Lone Star shone brightly that night.

I am retired Military Police and I heard some soldiers play this song at a bbq for all of us. Central Germany. I love this song!

Being a teenager in Montana during the 70s and this song. What a time! 😆

I discovered this song from that 70s show. What a tune.

RIP Jerry Jeff Walker. Steve Goodman and John Prine were wrong. This is the perfect country and western song (and video)

I want to go back to the 70's. Young, broke & high. Long hair ment sumething! I was never so free. Could go to Mexico with a postage stamp BC. Nobody gave a shit weather I was going in or coming out. It was awesome time. I hate 911 world.

Thank you Red Forman

Ray Wylie Hubbard knocked it out of the park with this song. 20 years ago, this song became the door that lead me from Nashville's idea country music to learning about folks like Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Billy Joe Shaver, and of course, the immortal Jerry Jeff. So much heart, soul, and honesty in music that never sees country radio.

Hell yes kicking hippies asses and raising hell... true Americana at its finest!!!

I’m 57 lived down the road from lukenbach in the 70’s saw walker willie and Waylon

He’s not drunk he’s just not feeling well- Kitty Forman

Jerry Jeff one of that army of Texas singers, song writers and guitarists. Sad to say many are gone, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Blaze Foley and lots more. We still have a few left, Steve Earle, Willy Nelson, etc. we should cherish them while they are still here. They are national treasures.

When you're drunk and unemployed and watching red forman being drunk and unemployed

When u knew it before you watched the 70’s show

That 70's Show brought me here...👍👍👍👍

I can't believe I first heard this on....THAT 70's Show!

I was 9 when I heard this & haven't heard it since. Birthday today & Jerry Jeff's name was brought up, looked it up & sang EVERY WORD! Some things you don't forget even after 52 yrs!! An I'm from Oklahoma...brought a HUGE smile!! Thanks for this

Listening to Jerry Jeff Walker for 30+ years brought me here.

One time me and my father and all my friends were in the car drunk and my mother had to come pick us up from the bar and we were all singing this in the car on the way home while my mother just sat there It was in the 70s

Man I wanna be in America during 70s

In 1976 a gal from Texas transferred to our high school on the west Coast and she sang this in class❤

Dang me, RIP Jerry Jeff.. so sorry to have to see you go.... may we all carry on.... glad to have heard about his passing in the comments section of this clip, bless everyone... the end is nigh....

That 70's Show picked the best music

Steven: I got Amy's number Red: Good for you Steven Steven: Yeah. I hope she's still pretty tomorrow.

RIP Jerry Jeff Walker - Our College Party Anthem

While I do like the scene from That 70’s Show with this song. I also like this song bc it was one of my dad’s favorite songs. Remember being 10 and him blaring this while we were driving to his job so he could pick up his check and some dude cutting him off and throwing up the “I do what I want” gesture and dad making the guy pull over so he could throw some fists with him. Dude who cut him off had a “Coexist” and “ Love is the answer” bumper stickers, I still remember my dad saying that he was about to give him a lesson in coexistence by showing him some tough love

I have been listening to country music all my life and this is a top ten song if there ever was one.

Brings back great memories when I was younger and rowdier!

My children would never understand the joy this song places in my heart.Excellent irony,a thumb in the eye of bigots everywhere.

Had a blast listening to this at the Dixie chicken in college Station back in the early 80s

I’m 18 years old and this song is a classic. Funny as hell

Rest In Peace , Jerry Jeff Walker

Listening from Muskogee, OK USA.... I Identify

The VIVA Terlingua album was one of my all time faves. Sure gonna miss ya, Jerry Jeff.. RIP!

I’m 62 and I’ve been a Jazz musician since I was 19, I love this song so much! 🎉

I lived in South Texas in the 70's, ages 7 to 16. Best time of my life. They always played this at the dances at summer camp in the Hill Country.

I still see Red, Eric, Hyde and Fez yelling this 😂

Time I hear the redneck mother thank you it music to my ears

Fantastic video!! I grew up on this music in San Antonio in the 70’s! They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore!! ❤❤❤

that 70's show brought me here

When was about 10 or 12 I had this record back 80s , most regret thing it feels like punch stomach, after my stepdaughter died when I was 13, my mom ask if I wanted keeps the records of all kind singers especially this one I love . I told no. Looking back wish how had all of records

RIP Mr. Walker. Many drunk nights singing this song! Great memories. Thank you!

RIP Jerry Jeff Walker

Ha. Good Day to play this. Happy Mothers Day. !!!!!!! Funny. !!!!!

I had to pleasure and honor of seeing/hearing Jerry Jeff Walker w/ his band in 1973 (?) at the Main Point in Bryn Mawr (burb of Philadelphia). Grand show - friendly man - smiled at any and everyone he passed. A real sweet man.

Thank You Jerry Jeff for turning me on to the Austin music scene in the 70’s..I thought I knew how to party until I met you..thanks for the great memories..at least the ones I can remember..

Jacky Jack, Boy, you sure steeped this into the hearts and souls of us 70’s teens! They called us all crazy, pot smokin, beer drinkin, OUTLAW rednecks! I am as proud today, as I was then. Still an Outlaw!!!! All gens. have their hero’s! Glad to say you, JJW, are one of my most cherished. Thank you for all the great music and the concerts. Growing up was so much fun singing along with your cherished songs! They always bring a smile, and sometimes a tear. Growin old w/your tunes is a little easier. Rest easy and keep on keepin on…. ((Fuck spell check, If I could’ve sent this written in letter form, I would’ve.)) Progress *) Thank you, for the joy you have brought all these years. From one Outlaw to another. Peace

That 70's show brought me here 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

RAy Wylie Hubbard brought me Here

So who else can’t hear this song without yelling “So well! So well! So well!” after he sings “Mother who has raised her son so well…” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My uncle used to sing this song to me since I was born in Oklahoma all the time and it always annoyed me and I would tell him to shut up. This morning I found him dead in his bed. This song will now be one of my favorites and will be on repeat for a while. This man was more like a dad to me. He raised me. Showed me everything I know. R.i.p. Don. I love you so much.

I remember this song when it was created and played on the radio..

I still have this album. Great country music!

Rest in Peace Cowboy! Man I'm going to miss you, you made this world a better place to live in!

RIP. Jerry Jeff Walker....

A legend, that is one of the greatest musicians I've ever heard. We all have our own taste in music, understable. But Jacky Jack strikes a chord in my soul like Elvis, Beatles, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, etc. NEVER DID! Of course their all great muscians, but some like JJW hit you in your soul for reasons you cannot explain. That's what makes him so special. He's not the best guitar player, or singer, or greatest looking. But he is absolutely perfect at being Jerry Jeff Walker. That to me is incredible, and why I love him so much. Thank you my friend for being yourself and changing so many lives. A Perfect Genius.

Brings back my Guymon OK good ole days back in 1970 somewhere..So Well...And Im still playing it....🤔

Country outlaw nostalgia, thanks JJW.

This is the version I like the best!!

I am 29, a white guy and I love this song! I’m from New Orleans and love to party. Although I feel the South, beginning with the moment Johnson’s presidential reconstruction began, has experienced a gradual closure of the aperture of contingencies that could lead to it being a uniquely pride-inducing region for me 😊

RIP JJW. I use to have a lot of good times drinking beer and playing this song on the Jukebox.

Texas 1970s. Couldn't get enough Jerry Jeff Walker at the time. So many local bands played him it was fun to sing along. Viva Terlingua was a huge hit in my neighborhood. I like to re-visit it from time to time. Those were the days.

High school memories

I remember it when I was High School !!!!! Yea I am that old !!

So sad that he passed away, I saw him in concert and he was great! I was not even drunk when I saw his concert, but if he was alive, I would get drunk in his memory.

Been a rusted on fan since the 70's....when visited Austin, called into Charlie Dunn's past workplace, but couldn't get to the back of Capital Saddlery,, guess Buck Steiner was long gone, but ordered a pair of custom boots and showed the staff a photo of Jerry Jeff's boots and got a copy sent to me in Australia, where I live. Next went to the current iteration of Mannys Hat Shop. Ordered " An Old Friend "- that too was shipped home some time after returning home. The Old Friend has been displayed/ mounted on a wall in my study. As with Jerry Jeff referring to Manny, it will "keep him alive in the room ". How sad to lose a singer, songwriter, storyteller who clearly never sought out fortune and fame. Have been playing and listening to his music since the 70s and his tunes, characters and stories will continue to travel with me as an important part of my life Thanks for everything Jerry Jeff.

I grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia the real Virginia!!! The land of Lee and Jackson and Stuart!!! And I grew up on outlaw country and bluegrass and southern rock!!!!! And I grew up with this song!!!! Love it y'all!!!

I remember when this song first came out. Back then we could drink beer and drive

That 70's show brought me here

Rest in peace and Thank You for the music!

Lots of great memories from the ole days back in the late 70’s and early 80’s! Always a goodtime when Jerry Jeff Walker was playing! Seen him live in Dallas at Poor David’s Pub ! RIP to a One of the Greats

From North Texas here. I just bought the original LP for a dollar today. "Viva Terlingua"! I am one happy Texan!!!

I never forget being in Lubbock and gettin stoned to this and Hank WIlliams Sr, with people who had never heard of pink floyd, or led zeppelin ...was a time! But I did get to see Buddy Hollys grave...never forget. Thank You Rigney Auto PArts and Simmons machine...

RIP JJW thanks for the great music

The one time I went to a Jerry Jeff concert I will always remember how drunk he was and music was great. I grew listening to all music. That's was a good thing because I never got bored. Nowadays I listen music on RU-vid with Bluetooth wireless headphones and lately that's all I do since the pandemic and life is great

I love this song and I love the singer it is so great. God bless you by Jeff Walker

Just heard this again after almost 50 years. Classic bar after 20 or so beer songs. Reminds me of Texan love song by Elton John

God Bless you Jerry Jeff Walker!!! Your music changed my life forever!!! My brother was by FAR your biggest fan!! He passed away 2 yrs ago!!!! He would be 60 yrs old today so I am playing a Jerry Jeff marathon in his honor!!!! You brought so much joy to his life and mine as well!!!! You the man Jerry Jeff!!! So keep on keep on playing!!!

Love him...know all the words to all the songs. RIP Jerry Jeff.

RIP JJW. Such a legend. So many good memories of his concerts.

RIP Jerry im gonna miss ya

So, a remembrance from Ray courtesy of the Texas Monthly by: Michael Hall, Andy Langer, Jeff Salamon, John Spong, Katy Vine and Christian Wallace Dated - Oct 26, 2020 Ray Wylie Hubbard is a singer-songwriter who grew up in Dallas. He lives in Wimberley. The thing about Jerry Jeff that stands out to me is that he was a great songwriter but also very gracious to other songwriters. Like on ¡Viva Terlingua!, he put me and Gary Nunn on there, and a couple of Guy Clark songs, before any of us were doing anything. So the first thing you hear when he plays my song on that record, “Redneck Mother,” is Bob Livingston saying, “This song is by Ray Wylie Hubbard.” Well, the record label wanted that off. They said, “If this gets played on the radio, everybody’s going to think that’s Ray Wylie singing it.” But Jerry said, “Nah, leave it on there.” So there I am. And to me, ¡Viva Terlingua! is the definitive progressive country, outlaw country, Texas music record. It still holds up. It still influences so many people, and not just because of the songs but because of the attitude. Jerry Jeff was like the Sam Peckinpah of music. He was going to do it his way. I mean, who records in a beer joint in the middle of nowhere called Luckenbach, with hay bales for sound baffles? But that album is still magic today. You can feel it, sense it. Losing him is gonna hurt for a while. But the legacy is going to be his songwriting, his belief in other songwriters, and his spirit with the way he would do things, his whole cantankerous coolness.

One of my all time favourite songs

RIP Jerry Jeff Walker, Adios Buckaroo

Jerry Jeff Walkers best song. I remember when this first came out. This is country music what is supposed to be.

Love me some Jerry Jeff. I’m 63. Listened and sang along in Waco and headed to Austin in 1978. Nobody like JJW

Rest easy, sir. Thanks for the memories and your amazing songs.

Back in the 70's in Houston and working in the oil patch listening to this music it didn't get much better

RIP Jerry Jeff Walker, thanks for the memories.

Great dancing song! RIP Jerry Jeff!
