Kathy Mattea- Listen to the Radio

[takoma5]

Excellent and inspired version..Thx AJ MusicG

[MsPamelaRickman]

Been years since I have heard this, used to do this with some friends, open mike night, cheap beer, noisy, lots of laughs.......

[hooeybrown]

As much as I like Nanci Griffith (and I prefer Nanci's live version of "Love At The Five and Dime"), I think Kathy's version of this song is the better one.

[BrimHawk]

Country music...blah, yuck, but she has a nice singing voice.

Not knowing who she is, or any of her music, to my ear, she sounds very much like a young Anne Murray.

[imaxginaxtion]

Great song! Why doesn't country radio play country any more? SP in NJ

[jwcountryboymusicnut]

@imaxginaxtion because it's a bunch of stupid city people that don't know the first thing about country that are running country music. Most country singers today look and act like rock stars, too many country singers are selling out to pop, that would be ok if it was with real country music like we had in the 80's.

[BerrysJSRD]

nanci griffith did the original. Great highway music.

[Highland804]

I think I hear Emmylou Harris singing harmony.

[AJMusicgirl]

When I get home I'll check it out and see. :D

[AJMusicgirl]

@Highland804

Nope the background vocals are Christie Westmoreland and Gerry Gillepsie

[CBinID]

@AJMusicgirl Of the texas Westmoreland fiddlers?

[jennadyann]

[Mattea68]

I first heard and saw her sing this song when she was on AUSTIN CITY LIMITS with TISH HINJOHOSA, Great song and Great Singer

[glossywOman]

WTF Who listen to this bad music..

She can't sing..

[coleyman1]

Get your ears fixed then get a life!

[Utoober67]

What an arrogant prick!

[cuznred123]

[gouik1]

I never hear this song by her, but by nanci griffith.

[mervrun]

Never heard this version...Just fantastic!!!!!!

[axleroy]

silver wings and away merle haggard flies great song by a great writer nanci griffith kathy does a great job with it

[miracle231]

I really like this version. Kathy sings very well for sure.

[lizziewig]

Could just squeeze her to pieces. She is timeless and ageless and is doing so much work w/the strip mining dilemma in the Appalachia area. Watch her videos on strip mining thru Google. Will break your heart. Give her a Yahoo!!!!

[colfair]

I just love this version of an already great song, kathy is just heavenly, im in love ,
