WHY NOT ME?/THE JUDDS

[doodlebug2835]

this is real country...right along with Johnny Cash and Conway Twitty

[bto73]

Not many things i enjoy more than well sung tune. Bravo!!!

[MaUdJe861]

This reminds me of my childhood...

[sallyxstrong]

heard this today and hooked, even though i'm not a country fan..

[SarahMeyers1000]

i love this song:)

[2l3p]

The vocals are sooo great!

[TouristTrophyRecord]

Great country!

[mraider94]

GET OUT OF MY HEAD PLEASE I CANT TAKE IT!!!!!

[dBmediaOnline]

I'm not really a country fan but this song is captivating, mesmerizing..... amazing!

[shilimuis]

me ma en ik zingen dit nummer graag samen en dat klinkt net zo mooi.

I love this song!

[dcm559]

Why Not Me?

[3193dgg]

I am not a country girl or listener, but I love this song. Remember playing this after listening to DIO and Deep Purple. 

[wildwomenneverdie]

@3193dgg haha, me to, but I'm a Alice in Chains fan. :)

[bibidybobady]

@wildwomenneverdie me too!

[hookemhorns]

@wildwomenneverdie The vocal harmonies are probably what got you hooked. AIC used those a lot too. They're still good but not the same since Layne passed.

[Hollandrius]

Voor de piraten onder ons, ook dit valt simpelweg onder de categorie Hits!!! =)

[22astoria]

very good can,t wait to see them at state fair in salem oregon...

[1812joyce]

@countrymusicgtavboy2 AMEN!

[JECLib]

This is country music. Kentucky gals are the best.

[1812joyce]

@JECLib These KY girls are the best!

[PearZeaL]

This is music. They don't make em like this anymore.

[norfolkdash9]

Kentucky girls baby!

[cphmr8604]

Everytime I hear this song, it reminds me of riding with my dad in the cab tractor disking ground when I was 2-3 years old in the late 80's. I remember because it was my favorite tune! I can still smell the freshly worked ground and the sweet smell of diesel smoke I experienced as a kid when I hear this song!

[BoundaryShift]

Ashley couldn't sing.

[marcie267]

This song was uploaded on our birthday, an it still is the perfect song for me, Why Not Me? Because a good man is hard to find . Thanks,

[SFtruckerWolf]

@marcie267 Hi. Good woman is also hard to find.

[buffyslayer30]

another one of my favorite songs.

[buffyslayer30]

another great song by them the judds I mean.

[buffyslayer30]

[wolfchick100]

im just 20 years old and wish they still put songs out like this

[Siobhan1948]

Dit is het allermooiste lied dat ik me herinner van de tijd toen mijn dochterlief een jong meisje was. PRACHTIG! We zongen en dansten door de living...

Zo blij dat 'k het hier vind! Zag en hoorde The Judds vandaag bij Oprah (Belgium)... en wist: 'Why not me?' was ONS lied.

This is the most beautiful song ever remembering the days my lovely daughter Karen was a young girl. Together singing and dancing every time (now 39 and 63 years!).

We LOVED it so much!

THANK you manuelworker!!!

[Ripley44mag]

Such longing and sorrow.

[MrRidley06]

best voices in country EVER

[mastercueartist]

@MrRidley06 nah sorry...allison krause has that honor

[SarahBCampbell]

[chocscorp44]

I'm African American, but as a kid I grew up listening to alot of country music. This is one of my all time fave!!!

[xSinderElliex]

...I don't like country but my mother liked the judds a lot. she played it when she cleaned house when i was a kid. She was in a car accident today. I love you mom.

[DHighlandGirl]

BRAVA!!

[MrEricSevert]

I was watching "Nashville Now" back in the mid 80's & was dumb founded when I heard them sing this very song. I was blown away by their "it" factor, it was only some 25 years later on OWN (Oprah's new network) that Oprah said exactly what I thought back then --- they have a mother daughter chemistry that is too hard to resist!

[heartstringsbylisa]

@MrEricSevert I just read Wynonna's autobiography. That "chemistry" on stage pretty much didn't go past the stage. They fought constantly while off stage. Kind of sad. Wy had tons of issues with her mom.

[MrEricSevert]

@heartstringsbylisa I think Naomi will never live down producing that mini series on their life, which years later we found out was NOT an accurate telling of their lives. Despite Naomi being behind the scenes, now we know why a not yet famous Ashley turned down the role of her mother. Smart move!

[ravenrose666]

Classic! Miss country music like this!

[rockinourworlders]

yeeeee hhhhaaaawwwwww

[quthral]

Good Song!!!

[MsPall35]

awesome both song and voice/s

[DhrHH]

It's so pure: voices, rhythm, lyrics.

[bluedevil28666]

My girlfriends' sis used to play this all the time when she wasn't around. I have to say I was tempted on occasion, but never did :(

[jakisemo]

@bluedevil28666 Wait, so she wanted you instead of her sister having you?

[bluedevil28666]

@jakisemo Nah, she was just horny lol. I kinda dated her for a few "hours" a few months before I started dating her sister...

[thepeiwitch]

Good Stuff.

[RayvinAerow]

@dllsnbks - Spoken like a true traveler.

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #1 in Billboard, 12-22-84. Riclen, you don't have to feel guilty. Wynonna's singin' to a guy, after all. God bless!

[devries3760]

1:47 - - THE CAPTAIN WAS HERE! - -

[zgravmary]

First time I heard this song I thought I was listening to Fleetwood Mac.. Mistook Wynona for Christine McVie. Won't make that mistake again

[evensout]

love that twangy guitar...

[waterhead001]

@evensout Yeah I know, it really sets this song apart. I like the pedal steel in the back ground too.

[cowwmann2001]

the best one as far as I'm concerned, always been awesome.

[hunniesnuggs]

[MegaGun41]

I used to listen to this song all the time when I was little, with my mom. Haha, good times.

[Umbral99]

¡Maravilosas! Adoro este dueto. Nadie como ellas para

la música country, en mi gusto personal.

[Bibber75]

one of the greatest songs of the judds

[bobbiejo9000]

The Judds makes me proud to be a Kentuckian.

[LUCY2U0507]

[buffyslayer30]

[buffyslayer30]

@LUCY2U0507 I am used to county music so and I love it so with all I have so.

[buffyslayer30]

@buffyslayer30 another one of my favorite songs by them.

[cindylcain59]

@LUCY2U0507 The song that still and always will make me cry is "Grandpa," especially the line, "Daddy's really never go away," cause my beloved Dad left us all in '95, but is still with me every day.

[rebafan19]

my friend BJ used to like this song when he was little

[FAUSTORICCARDO]

Naomi and Wynonna did many beautiful songs, but I always prefer this song. A Great music and Great performance on this song

[dizzygurl7]

[tengland2007]

[goalsformary]

[Conni17]

[Scarydukey]

[bullrider2014]

same here for tennessee....but who needs a man when u got a horse? lolz jk.

i forgot- horses cant buy u an engagement ring...but at least u can ride 'em

[DoUWanna007]

...that's what I need...a Kentucky boy...can't find a decent 'man' in California if you rounded up 100 of 'em...what's a girl to do???

[rhotspot]

Using the Circle of 5ths I come up with 4 chords played in this song. Bb-Ab-Eb-F . On my guitar the logic I would follow would place Eb as the 1 chord, Bb as the 5 chord, Ab as the 4 chord and F as the 2 chord, there is where I get my (Key of Eb: 5Bb-4Ab-1Eb-2F)

[rhotspot]

I really love "Why Not Me?" (Key of Eb: 5Bb-4Ab-1Eb-2F).

I'm very much a Kentucky boy and love hearing this song from this beautiful redhead Kentucky girl. Sing it Wynona!!!

You've got my heart if you want it :)

[xtenkfarpl]

@rhotspot

I would have to say the actual key of this is B flat.

I see where you're coming from in traditional music theory. But.... what the heck, most people here would be bored by the discussion... shoot me an email if you like...

[renessaa]

Hits !!

[96JUSTIN]

that background guitar riff is so sweet

anyone know the name of the guy that plays that?

[xtenkfarpl]

@96JUSTIN

Don't know the guitarist, but that pivot around the top keynote is very nice! Key is Bb, but I'd guess played in G position, Capo 3?

Odd but interesting bass-against-chord in 2nd line of chorus... sounds like bass goes to Eb but guitar chords hit Ab for two beats before following... but I'm not confident of that? Can anyone with a better ear do a better job of figuring it out?

I'd love to play this in my band... and get it RIGHT!

[dalebozzio]

thanks im a guy to love this shit!!! awsome

[renger29]

Good Haevens, what a matamorphosis. For about 28 y. I saw this girl in Holland (Europe) with her handsome mother. Both awesome pretty and promising. She still is a marvellous singer, but eh.... Anyway, it's not the size that matters...

[fpngan]

Dude, look at the new videos of her on the cbs morning show that are on here. So looks incredible! She is SKINNY

[eekhoorntje2]

This song is so beautiful

This are wordt I love to say to someone I ..... :-)

[cardman880]

grammarita - that's what all the great ones do!

[grammarita1]

Keep it simple, stupid. The writers used a basic idea to make a great song.

[GatorsNation]

Ashley looks a lot like her mom from back in the day. Where is Naomi nowadays? I've not seen her in so long. Wonder if she still has that awesome face lift. She looked younger than Wynona when they were touring. I loved country music back then. Ya had the Judds and of course Garth and his crazed out concerts. Now theres a performer.

[RegencyRoyale]

So Fun that Our Girlfriends ain't lawsuit like Prince! Why not You!

[lunajessica123]

rRAISED ON THIS COUNTRY MUSIC IS WHAT ME BECOME THE SINGER THAT I AM TODAY! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! JESSICA

[bikerofohio]

[judgegixxer]

One of the few country songs I actually like. Reminds me of being 17

[45gunner]

rediscovered this song AFTER a LOOONG time!

Funny/Ironic..its a song that reminds me of a woman that I've been friends with for over 20yrs,...we dated briefly at first been friends ever since...

The lyrics SO apply,...I was in the Navy for 20yrs and we both over years have been married to others/divorced and assorted trials n tribulations!...

Hope to go see her next year for a visit...

[KevinHuguet]

Touching Brother, kinda the same thing going on with me and im only 24, wish you the best of luck my friend.

[riclen123]

[comsfan09]

hey I agree, and I usually hate country music..

[dmcconnellsitemaster]

Makes me think of Will Ferrell's Judds T-shirt he wore in "STEP BROTHERS".. Pic of Naomi and Wynona on the front and "Why not me?" on the back

[herylynne]

I remember when my parents asked me on my opinion which was the daughter,i guessed wrong.3 beautiful Judds.I love this song.

[evensout]

Just a great song. Love the vocals and that twangy guitar.

[Wilhelm406]

[nashvilleangels]

[jzephyrcove]

I hated country all my life until 1999 I love tim mcgraw , george strait dwight, Keith Urban, toby keith is a cry ass, so he needs to go, Dixie Chicks need to come back and hide old earl (Tobey Keit-)-----lol

[Debbyturner]

Who wrote this song?

Anyone know?

Thank you,

Debby

[acjzr1]

As far as I know Mark Knopfler wrote the song and recorded it himself.

This version is much better!

[Debbyturner]

Thank You!

Debby

[fpngan]

Umm, No

[usernametaken73]

Probably Don Potter, he wrote/cowrote most of this album with them. I had the pleasure of knowing him. Awesome guy.
