OKLAHOMA HILLS by JACK GUTHRIE

[HEADSUPBERKELEY]

Says on wikipedia Jack was Woody's nephew, born to his brother

[MegaTravis9]

My Dad was from Oklahoma, He worked for Phillpss 66 in Bartlesville. I can remember as a little boy listing to JackGuthrie singing Oklahoma hills. I love the old time country. I sure miss it.

[AssassinTheHasson]

I wonder why most the Guthries seem to sound like chipmunks

[sz05ry]

Köszönöm a feltöltést <:o)

[jdog942]

Jack sung this better.

[TheTroyBreslow]

@jdog942 no he didnt. lol

[acidroll]

Superbe chanson! je crois que j ai vraiment raté mon époque... et mon pays aussi...*****

[bbbartolo]

I learned the words to this when I was a kid in the early 50s, liked it without knowing where it came from. This is great sound quality! thanks for posting.

[youwiththeface]

nobody can do this song like him and woody can other versions arent near as good.anyone know hwere to find a woody version ?? i cant find one anywhere on the internet

[ejgiv]

I love picking and singing this song myself. Can't beat this version though ;-).

[BBQFanNo1]

I played this song many times driving through Texas and Oklahoma.

[BBQFanNo1]

Nothing like that red sands soil clay scenery oil wells country of Texas and Oklahoma. The old Rt.66/I-40 west of Oklahoma City. Texas Panhandle. Also I-20 between Pecos and Fort Worth, Texas

[COREYGUTHRIE]

Alan, I just thought about dropping you a line that my name is Corey Guthrie and i not totally sure but it is my full belief that i am somehow related to the famous three Guthrie's, 1. because i have some far distant relatives from OK and 2. he sort of looks a little bit like my grandfather and a couple of my grandfathers brothers, well Jack at least does, hmmm....well if it were true it would be a book of pages down the line but i would love to know..... oh well i also enjoyed your video

[COREYGUTHRIE]

Alan, I just wanted to drop a line to you, my name is Corey Guthrie and I believe that somehow I am related to all three of the famous Guthrie's, now it would a book full of pages down the line somewhere, but see i had some relatives that came from OK. I would love to find out somehow but anyway, just thought it was very interesting and i enjoyed your video on what could my relative

[RM4FS]

This song is not politically correct for the EPA This was the days when OIL was pumped rveryday in Texas and Oklahoma. I remember Phillips 66 oil pumping on the grounds of the state capitol on Oklahoma City.

this is arlo guthries dad ,pretty sure he was the first  y00sta

[BrandonTxOthor]

Woody wrote it-Jack changed some of the words when he recorded it therefore claiming they "Both" wrote it. My late father "loved" this song! Though I often wondered how Woody could call them "hills" in his birthplace of Okemah?

[carollizc]

@BrandonTxOthor Poetic licence.

[EagerBoy49]

I've got this on a Capitol 45, probably released in the mid to late 60s. Great stuff, though it's still Hank Swatley's version that does it for me.

[jonnyhead]

boppin at the alldayers, this was a floor filler.

[quasar953]

This'd go well with Fallout 3! :D

[giannicorso73]

a hillbilly legend......jack guthrie: the king of irish western swing

[gospelmusiclover48]

I believe that famous banjo picker Don Reno is playing the lead guitar on this one.

[barrymore]

Woody actually wrote this song....read Joe Klein's bio of him...

[1691bhm]

Are you sure? I just tried to find Woodys' version but to no avail, all i could find is that Woody claimed that his father Charles Guthrie wrote it!?

[wkunzelman1]

@barrymore But Jack changed the lyrics to the lyrics that we are hearing now.

[KoRnoRama]

HAHA... You're all hillbillies! ;)

[skydogz1]

Jack is my fave Guthrie.

[jrdill1929]

WHO?

[aSTAR4u]

sigh. reminds me of the record playing , my daddy going from room to room waking us up....aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, childhood has changed so much!!

my daddys fav was "OLD SHEP"

[Suki40330]

This song really brings tears to my eyes. I am returning to Oklahoma soon after being gone for 3 years. I really miss living there.

[cabeman55]

lived in Claremore for 4 yrs, Tulsa for 13, Pryor for 1... now on the northshore of Lake Superior... wouldn't leave here for Oklahoma... though I once called OK home... and knew some very nice God fearin' folks.. and raised my three sons there... to me... Oklahoma is just... hmm.. well "Oklahoma is OK" lol...

[beardedyodeler]

Wow, it's hard to believe so much talent can come out of one family. I've actually never really heard Jack sing until I heard this recording. He seems to have a smoother voice than woody. Then again, woody's voice is perfect for those long lonesome ballads

That fella who plays the guitar on this recording is one hell of a guitar picker.

[WaylonStrummer]

Howdy out there! Do any of you folks remember

a c/w radio station in California called K.E.E.N ? They had a jingle that went,"Way down yonder in the indian nation ev'rybody's

listenin' to a radio station,listenin' to

K.E.E.N. it's radio KEEN your station"

I was just a little kid and when my daddy got

this record I must've played it twenty times in a row! I still love it.Thanks for posting!!

[countryboy54654]

i can remember my old grandad listening to this on an old record player on saturday nights. Thanks for the memories.

[5strRJB]

When was this cut? Great song. I would like to hear a bluegrass version of it. I think Don Reno played lead electric guitar on it.

[bruiser]

This song was #1 on the country charts, for 6 weeks, in 1945. Jack was stationed in the South Pacific when the song hit the charts.

[BusReilly]

Somehow Jack is related to Woody, but I can't remember a brother or cousin.

[AlanPaladin]

Jack was Woody's Cousin. He died in 1948 from tuberculosis :(

[azdoug1973]

Jack and Woody were cousins.
