What you are hearing here, words cannot describe. Country to perfection. The great Ralph Mooney and Waylon intertwined for 3:36 minutes. Does my soul good to hear it. The greatest ever. RIP Waylon and Ralph. My heroes forever.
Weylon Jennings, a pure Country Western Artist who sings his life stories so well, and a gr8 steel guitarist and band to accompany him awesome 👏 👏 gr8 to hear. all the way from Aotearoa/New Zealand 🇳🇿 with love ❤️ RIP Weylon 🙏🏼 🎉
In my humble opinion, one of the finest voices to ever come thru Nashville. He may have been Outlaw, but he was Country to the core. He sang from the heart, for the love of the music, and not for the pocketbook like too many of todays siners do. Rest In Peace Waylon, your music was always an inspiration to me.
The finest steel break EVER in country music.There will never be another MOON ! or Waylon either for that matter. May you both rest easy. Roy in Nova Scotia
"The finest steel break EVER in country music"? So much for Jimmy Day and "Pick me up on you way down", Tom Brumley and "Together Again", Jon Hughey and "Look at Us", not to mention the world's most "foremost" steel player, Buddy Emmons and "Knight Life"! Ralph Mooney was indeed great. However, he could NOT carry the case of the other players' steel "breaks" listed above. He would tell you that if he was still alive. Oh well. To each his own.
From a 77 year old lifelong country music fan, the break by Ralph Mooney here is the best I’ve ever heard. Absolutely beautiful. And following the break, Waylon gives the audience a couple extra measures to fully appreciate what they’ve just heard. Perfect.
Ralph was a Gift from God to Country Music. "Moon" was a Christian, and he is with God. We were Blessed to have his sound, that Steel Guitar and Waylon Jennings. I sure missed them both.
Just found this fantastic country song by Walon Jennings. God, what a voice he had, the deep tones and melodic sounds rolled into one. The steel guitar player is the best I've ever heard. In Australia, we never got to hear much songs from country singer, they were heard more on the other side of the East Side of the Country. Waylon is a slightly better singer than Johnny Cash, in my mind due to the range of tones Waylon produced. R.I.P.
I don't know much about steel guitar playing, but it sounds like Mooney finishes his solo, sets up Waylon to sing, then almost launches into a second solo. Wish he would have! Love it.
AWESOME, R.I.P. Mr. Mooney! REAL country wouldn't be as good had you not shared your heartfelt steel! May your ghost inspire todays musicians . . . and maybe kick a few "music" executives in the ass!
Mr. Ralph Mooney plays it perfectly here, not too much, not too little, just enough to hug the vocalist and support the other musicians in the band. 2:13 - Every musician, whatever style, whatever genre, should really take a good listen to how Mr. Mooney places the notes in the solo. It's not about speed, flash or firing off a bunch of notes. It's about touch, feel and the placement of notes.
@@jimmychambers1501 are you saying Wynn was better than Waylon vocally? Not arguing was just curious if that is what you meant? I think Merle is certainly as good.
