Jerry Jeff Walker - Hill Country Rain (live 1992)

[coleyman1]

He really loves that two down, one up, on the guitar. He has written a lot of songs to that stroke. Not sure I like it, but it works for the things he does and he does what he does pretty damn good!!

Great song, reminds me to look beyond the day to day struggles of gettin by and remember to live in those wonderful strangle marvelous moments that you experience in life. They happen everyday, look and live for them they'll make you happy.

Come to Georgia Boy!!!!

Man, I wish we had TNN back! But, of course, it would probably be overrun with the new FM radio "country" that most of us old Jerry Jeff followers hate!

[mdlattimore]

What an amazing song writer and entertainer, saw him once about the time this was shot. I never could figure out why he didn't do the whole Garth Brooks thing, he was great every time I saw him. Brooks and Dunn even wrote a song about Jerry Jeff Walker.

garth brooks who?

[bluetoothhag]

gosh we would all go crazy when he played this. ahhhh we were all young back then...in the 70's ray wylie, BW, Augie M, Michael M, and Jimmie Buffet had not figured out that he was going to key west....

[teenonator]

I remember running down the aisle at the Paramount Theater to this tune & dancing around, while Jerry Jeff & the Lost Gonzos tore the place down

[orcainthepark]

this makes me want to cry. great outfits, great vocals, amazing and uplifting solo, and that dance hop at the end. rip tx connection

[vintagevideomusic1]

Brod, you are so-o-o-oooo coll.

Jerry Jeff always makes a good impression. His music is so good LOL :)))))

[james361958]

yea...band members come and go...bobs been there for a WHILE!

almost family

[lifinhead]

And just to think that Jerry Jeff drove Jimmy B. to Key West in the early 70's when they both left Memphis - JJW left Bubba in KW and headed for Texasand the rest is history! JJW from Oneonta, NY is now a Texas Boy! By the way, the bass player is Bob Livingston still singin' and a-playin' with JJW all these years later!

[knappydanny]

1:11 what's up with the bass face ?

[unclejrw]

@knappydanny ~ That's funny.

[trivelvin]

AMEN!!

[blueskiesblue]

Is he cool or what? Wish there was more of him ... don't we need a NEW prime time Country Misic show? Would sure beat 'reality' crapola! Toooo cute!

[gurlsingerfan]

@blueskiesblue OH YES!! How I miss the old original TNN before the corporate wreckers destroyed it...."American Music Shop" and"Texas Connection" and the great original concert footage of Mary Chapin Carpenter and Jimmy Dale Gilmore and Shawn Colvin, along with the PBS show "Austin City Limits" were the only TV showcases for REAL country and Americana music...sadly missed. Austin City survives, but is now more about popularity, not about creative music.

"...when I leave I'm leavin' nothin' behind...I'm tastin' every single grape on the vine..."

[colindominy]

Sure 'nough .. both Jerry Jeff, and Jimmy Buffett, are each once in a half-century phenomenon. Both are fantastic talents, representing as they do that wonderfully appealing 'feel' from their respective parts of the US that they call home. This song by JJW is one of his very best, in my humble opinion .. and a superb live performance of the song to match here .. just a sweet joy to listen to ... thanks BRod 313 !!

[TigerTodd103]

Ditto Juiceman, you are correct... that's what contributes to their longevity. Love both, howver, Jerry Jeff is my all time fav.

[ghostwiener1978]

Hey dancing Naked in the High Hill Country Rain is way Over Rated!!! I spent three days in the Williamson County Jail and I am now a registered Sex Offender!!! Thanks alot Jerry Jeff Walker, I guess the Cedar Park Police Never heard this song!!!

[bulbheadmyass]

I hear ya, ghostwiener. I hate when that happens.

[probinson1337]

@ghostwiener1978 You're not suppsed do it in front of the williamson or travis county jail, it's a out in the sticks on your own property thang.

[jgradynj]

One of my favorite JJW tunes....he's a true Texas treasure...glad that there are so many videos on him !!

[ScottyHale]

Man this guy has range problems and can't get to the mic quick enough...I am sure his recordings are much better than this....the music is real lively but you can tell he is out of his element, yet he looks like he's having fun and not bothered by his voice issues.....he must not have confidence problems. Good music....probably would have been fun to be in the audience.

[juiceman1965]

JJW is to Texas bar music what (his close buddy) Jimmy Buffett is to Parrottheads. Neither is the best vocalist nor best guitarist, however they connect with their audiences through gifted songwriting and providing a mood for their audience. Its a talent too rare in music today. It's also why each have lived on stage for over 40 years, can't argue wiuth that type of longevity and success.

[hujo69]

cant believe there's only been 300+/- views on this........JJW is incredible - he's a Goddamn Texas Hero in my opinion.........
