Buck Owens & The Derailers - Play Me The Waltz of Angels

[reoguy43]

Our group likes to do "Waltz of the Angels", which is a beautiful love song. I just found this song today and we will try to do it at a jam this Friday - if I can make it through the song without breaking up - this one really tears me up. We will do "Waltz of the Angels" first, then follow it with this one.

This one reminds me of Vern Gosdin's "Chiseled in Stone" and it took me quite a while before I could do that one in front of a crowd.

I have this on a CD and remember when they first came out with it

Is so great. Country Music at it's best.

Buck's the man!

I'm not a big fan of gospel music, but every once in a while, a gospel song like this comes along, and I give it a listen, and enjoy every minute of it. I've been a fan of the Derailers ever since I first heard "The Right Place." It's also nice that Buck Owens joined them for a verse of this great song. RIP Buck!

Back in the 50's Winn Steward was on tour with Buck Owens seen them in Burlington, Iowa. They were great have most of the Albums.

REAL good country song

[joshuabrooks21]

I knew a 92 year old man that passed recently, and he sang some old songs at local music festivals while he walked this earth. I never heard him sing this song, but it made me wish I knew how to play guitar, so that way I could've rehearsed it with him, and joined him onstage to sing it. I wonder if we would've gotten a standing ovation for doing so... P.S. I'm on the junior side of 30, but I think my 92 year old friend would've liked this song.

@joshuabrooks21 Joshua, you maybe a 30 something but you have an old soul and this is a great compliment from a 60 + that has lived in the best years of country music with the old style of country music . God Bless and yes i love that whinning steel too

[joshuabrooks21]

@bassingal89 Thanks. Unfortunately, the whining steel isn't something you hear in Country Music nowadays...

[twoteles]

Wonderful!

Great to hear ol' Buck in there - a real haunting melody.

[momac71]

introduced to u-tube recently by my more IT literate son,I can't believe the artists

I can now view, found The Derailers through Wynn Stewart . I remember Wynn from an old Capitol compilation "Countrys Best" Haven't stopped singing the song since

[mkwbmh]

Awesome...

[rusta20]

the derailers kicked ass loved their music, not sure if they are still playing i think the singers name was tony great country voice.

[weedsieat]

awesome for sure! the best version yet..

[joshuabrooks21]

The first Derailers song I can remember hearing was "Bar Exam," and I thought, "Where did these guys come from?" Then came "More Of Your Love," and "The Right Place," and then "Who's Gonna Mow Your Grass?," and I thought Buck Owens was making a comeback. Then, the icing on the cake came when I heard this hidden gem on Playlist.com. Thank you to Brian and company for letting the late, great Buck Owens sing with you on this song. I still have to ask why you didn't release this song to radio.

[rodgermac]

Had this on my favorites, then it dropped off. This is the first song by the Derailers that I'd heard. It is now back on my favorites list. Thank you for putting it back.

[bruiser]

Have a listen to Wynn Stewart singing "Waltz Of The Angels".

[nedafelixmoon]

[leatherwulf]

[Starshadow]

I have adored the Derailers ever since I saw them live at Bumbershoot several years. I don't have a lot of mobility left but I could not stop dancing!

Thanks for posting this.

[idgoback]

Buck Owens sings at 2:16 ....incredible ...Buck sounds awesome on this recording! what a great song...this song should have been a # 1 record....todays music can't hold a candle to this....Long live the Bakersfield sound!!!

[truckdriver7696]
