Eddy Arnold Tribute - Cattle Call

[honeykisses1987]

I usually don't say ______ brought me here, but I will this time. My Own Private Idaho brought me here.

[randallrayrichards]

@hobie65202 didn't you just love to hear our fathers calling the cattle. I still use the same call, but I don't sound as good as my dad. It took his cattle 2 weeks to finally come when I called, they were used to him. It took them awhile, but now they are use to me.

[randallrayrichards]

@gizmotwadlebutt I used to get really hyped up when my dad called them up to feed. Our pasture is by a mountain, and heavily forrested in parts. We couldn't see the cattle, but when my dad called them they would always bawl, making it easy to locate them. I loved that, he would call and we'd sit in silence and listen for them. Then in the distance you'll hear them bawl. I'm glad people are still using cattle calls. I hope it will be continued, I don't want it to die out.

[hobie65202]

randallrayrichards: I know the exact sound, dad did it too.

[BedazzleGlitterGal]

gtest song, its in the movie ' my own private idaho'...

[randallrayrichards]

@sodpoo i am glad i made ur day. i have to admit i hated the cattle call when i was 9 . my dad used to sing it obnoxiously to embaress me. but now i love it.

[xXJustDifferentXx]

Oh my god....... I have been looking for this song for years!

I remember every sunday night my station would play old country music and this would come on but i wasn't sure of the name But I just knew i loved this song. I am pretty sure I haven't heard this song sense I was 9, 6 years later I still love this song.

[randallrayrichards]

this reminds me of how my father would call up our cows. when he would call for the cows to feed it would always give me goosebumps listening to him cry for them. my dad sounds so much like eddy arnold (when he is 'wooing' in the song) my dad would holler for the cattle and this was his call 'come on girls suc(sounds almost like suck), suc, suc come on wooooo' u get my point. this songs makes me truly happy.

[sodpoo]

@randallrayrichards Thanks so much for the comment! It made my day!

[gizmotwadlebutt]

@randallrayrichards We still do it just like you father. I can still hear my old friend Pete calling the herd in when I was young. It seemed like magic to me that cows would come to that back then.

[tangsghost]

Id give anything if I could do the cattle call! What a voice!

[donkathylea]

Reminds me of the old West. Just loved the video. Thanks!

[Countrygirl4923]

Amazing tribute! I remember when I was little, I would sing this song over and over, trying to sound as good as him, lol. Still do now, at 19. This and "Tennessee Stud" have always been my favorites of his.

2:04 Elvis!! Awesome! =D

Haha, that cow is hilarious!

[sodpoo]

@adpwl53 Thank you so much! You truly made my day! I'm his daughter actually, but you would have no way of knowing that! Thank you so much for commenting!

[NightfenceProduction]

My Own Private Idaho...

[PirateDanRocco]

Is it me, or is that cow at :49 sec so cool....Eddie had one of the most AMAZING voices on the planet! GREAT video!

[PirateDanRocco]

@PirateDanRocco Ooops, the cow is at :36-37...my bad

[sodpoo]

@PirateDanRocco Thank You. I adore the cow.  It's hard to find a picture that goes with the line "way out where the doggies bawl" That was as close as I could get. =)

[PirateDanRocco]

@sodpoo I think you "nailed" the doggies bawl, just perfectly! :) Dan

[zrsgolfer]

I have listened to Eddy Arnold since I was about 7 or 8 or earlier. I'm 42 now. My Grandma & Papaw would play him all the time. I remember driving back with them from California to Montana (where I lived at the time) in their Winnebego and sitting in the front floor area on an ice chest (seatbelts weren't mandatory back then) and using a fly swatter as a guitar playing and singing Eddy's songs the whole way on their 8 track player. Great memories.

[sodpoo]

@zrsgolfer I have never seen you or them, but I can totally picture it! I'm ..er...40 something too and the reasoning behind this video is close to the same. It was one of my Daddy's favorites.. He sang it around the house, in his shop and when putting me to sleep. I sure miss him! Thank you sooo much for sharing that story here.

[Deodat1966]

In the early 60's Eddy Arnold recorded/produced on RCA 47-8048 "After Loving You" with the flip side "A Little Heartache".

If you have these two songs can you please upload them

My alltime favorie Eddy Arnold song.

[namtesyalp]

[buffalocrotch]

Back when I was a kid, my parents used to own the Best of Eddie Arnold Album, I used to think it was god awful music. But, now i have downloaded a few songs from Eddie Arnold, including this song. So, now i listen to this, I like it, and it reminds me of my parents, Thanks Mom & Dad, for the good music, and everything else! I miss you 2 so damn much.

[johnyzero2000]

This dude was awesome and I love your tribute video! Give my love to you dad!

[pikaliz]

He had a great voice

[dragontailjunkie]

Why doesn't country music have this kind of performer now?

[dagenhamdaveNo1]

Great song. thanks for uploading.

God Bless

David

[dart1966man]

He is so smooth.

There are not enough o's in smooooooth to describe him.

[landcros]

my own private idaho es todo

[librarybob1958]

Here's Eddy's original 1955 recording, with the great Hugo Winterhalter's arrangement. WAY better than his stereo remake eight years later.

As with all great singers, when they made Eddy Arnold, they broke the mold.

[jake92sc]

thanks for posting this bud! im 14 and my grand paw john ray made me help with the hay harvest this year and he sang this damn song all the way back home holding up traffic in his old ford with that 20ft tralior over loaded with hay and when someone would try to pass him he would move to the center haha!

[sodpoo]

@jake92sc LOL What a great story!! That had to be really hard work!

[victoriouswarrior78]

LOL ... love it, Jake! My uncle, a farmer, used to yodel away "ala Eddie Arnold style" ... causing us kids to roll our eyes every time, but leaving us with such good memories. Eddie was my dad's fav, too. Love your story, Jake!

[johnsondana10]

@jake92sc Jake, if you drive anything like your grand paw when you're older, I will run you off the road.

[cherylclair]

When I was in high school, this was on the juke box in our lunchroom. It was the vice principals favorite and it got played EVERY SINGLE LUNCH TIME.

[sodpoo]

@cherylclair Drove ya crazy at the time...brings fond memories later. :)

[blazermamaw]

THIS IS A GREAT SONG!

[bw3ttt]

My dad loves him too and asked me to find him on the internet.. I'm 36 and I had this 45 when I was a toddler.. Our country should be proud!

[sodpoo]

@bw3ttt Thanks for the post! We had it on 8-track tape! LoL

[lockenjr]

[Chauchat7777]

It was him in the film "Bombadier", right? And Green Acres? yeah-- I got a crush with Bombadier..A+ vid

[raborlin]

@Chauchat7777 I believe you're thinking of Eddie Albert.

[Chauchat7777]

[9inch8]

Only Eddy Arnold can sing this song. Thanks for posting. Great Memories.....

[edarotag84]

I remember seeing Eddy and getting his autograph when I was 6yrs at the Jasper Texas Lion's Club Rodeo, in Jasper Texas!

Tex

[sodpoo]

@edarotag84 Oh How awesome! What a great memory to have!

[Mjolnir393]

So So Good!  A generation gone never forgotten!

[TheRadicalreels]

My Dad also Loved Eddy Arnold! This is a wonderful Tribute to your Father and of Eddy as well. But it also meant a lot to me. Thank you for posting this! Rad

[sodpoo]

@TheRadicalreels Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[vacontractor]

The cow at 2 min & 24 seconds is halarious!

[HowardWiggins3]

Did you Know That Eddy Arnold and Little Roy Wiggins sold over 75,000,000 records which makes them the highest records sold in the 20th century.

[imamba1]

one of the all time great songs

[elzsny]

Eddy was my dad's favorite singer too, it's funny how your tastes begin to resemble your folks even more when they're gone.

[80bigmac]

he was the hoss

[Killeybegs]

A True Country music legend and a 100% Gentleman. He is Truly missed.

[Killeybegs]

A True Country Music Legend and Was A 100% Gentleman.

[hiddenrocker11]

This guy reminds me of my father so every time I hear any song from this era reminds me of my father. He always wanted to be a horse rancher. I grew up in the 80's but my mother said I was reincarnated atleast once cause I LOVE this era of country and broadway!!!!!

[VIGILANTI1]

@hiddenrocker11 what a great testamony. may god bless you

[zipper179]

I really loved this song..I just couldn't yodel to save my soul, not if my life depended on it..Picture it, a kid in the Watts section of LA! I guess I just wasn't no Rex Allen..!

[therealraybaby]

I used 2 hear my great aunt play this song when I was a kid. I still get those childhood chills when I hear this gem 2 this day. Eddy's yoddle was so peaceful & spiritual!

[descheenie1000]

I would like to request this song;to my late grandma,who was a cattle rancher all her life.got off her horse @ the age of 64yrs old. rest in peace,1927-3-19-2010 what a beatiful cowboy song.

[HowardWiggins3]

This is one of my father Little Roy Wiggins and Eddy Arnold most famous hits together.

[HowardWiggins3]

Check out Little Roy Wiggins playing the steel guitar ,the video of him playing The Old Rugged Cross.

[georgeraft21]

best of the best

[HowardWiggins3]

Thank you for sharing the video with me. I know the song are hard to find that because the recordings are from the1930,1940,and the1950,Did you see the move about Ray Charles? Did you recognize the steel guitar playing when Ray step on the bus to leave home for the first time?

[HowardWiggins3]

Did you know that Eddy Arnold along with Little Roy Wiggins holds the record for the highest records sold in the 20th century.That number is 75,000,000. Visit Little Roy Wiggins video of The Old Rugged Cross

[Spelterman]

Good luck finding any of those old 75,000,000 Arnold/Wiggins songs on Youtube. Fortunately I have a couple of cassettes I can pull out when I'm desperate. (There's Been a Change in Me is my favorite.) :-)

[MsDMary]

Love this song. My dad used to sing it when I was a little girl. He could really yodel! Takes me back 50 years. Wish he was here to sing it one last time for me.

[txpopeye]

great song and video,thanks for posting

[012370909]

Song has alot of sentimental value to me. I also have a fond memory of this song. My Grandfather had this guys greatest hits. Bless his soul.

[BudgetBachelorChow]

My dad was dubious, lewd and a bastard. But he was my dad, and I loved him. And he loved Eddie. Thanks for the memories.

[20alphabet]

@BudgetBachelorChow

You ungrateful whelp! And don't even THINK that just because I'm dead I don't see these stinking posts you write! Even though your my kid, and I love you, too.

[MacPro8CoreMan]

Same story with my dad and I.

Thank you for posting this classic.

[Dublins1Bastard]

I have this song locked into my Sirius Sat . receiver of my top 20. I always turn it up, love it! It reminds me of the song from the movie "MARS ATTACKS".

[lbrewer42]

Yes - except in Mars Attacks it was Slim Whitman (SP?) singing. I have always liked Eddy Arnold's version much better than Slim's.

[MotherIlona56]

Eddy Arnold was a huge favorite of my beloved Mother! Thank you for posting his songs!

[MotherIlona56]

Eddy Arnold was my on my Mother's favorite list! She'd shush us when he came on the radio. I think this used to be his theme song when he sung on the radio, but I'm not certain Thank you for posting his songs so much!! Lizzy _Tish

[datboy3225]

Well Mr. sodpoo now that my tears are under control, THANK YOU what a great tribute. It sounds like your Dad and mine had very similar musical tastes. Good for us!!! I think they may have both been on the welcoming committee. Thanks for bring back a great memory and making me think of my Dad.

[countrystar310]

Thank you so much for posting this. My grandpa was the most incredible man and if it weren't for him, I feel confident that I wouldn't be as passionate and driven with my music as I am. When I was little we would drive up to CT twice a year to visit him and every time he would have me sing this song/ He would always whistle, hum or sing along. when he died I was devastated... so thanks you so much =]

[sodpoo]

@countrystar310 Thank you for watching and sharing that story! What a wonderful memory to have!

[virago1776]

@countrystar310 I am a grandpa now myself (Five beautiful grandchildren) and try my best to the the grandpa I wish I had had and the one that you did.

I hope I can be remembered by them in the way that you remember yours.

Thank you for posting your story.

[CelestialNexus]

I was looking for this song today because this marks the day of my father's passing in 2003. How wonderful it was to find that your posting of it had the same meaning. Thank you very much.

[012370909]

Wonderful memories. My Grandfather liked Eddie Arnold. He passed away in 2004. Good memories. Thank you very much.

[bustergreg19]

Great song, nothing compares to this today truely great music

[LadyShesu]

My granddad sang this to me when I was a little girl. I loved it.

[bigbadbuyer]

absolutely a great homage. I was just a little guy when my parents played this. Along with Mary Robbins El Paso, one of my favorites.

[bfeme]

of all of his songs this is my favorite

[quigleybrown]

It's used in the film 'My Own Private Idaho.'

[tlatol12345]

The cattle are prowling The coyotes are howling Way out where the dogies bawl Where spurs are a jingling A cowboy is singing This lonesome cattle call He rides in the sun 'Til his days work is done And he rounds up the cattle each fall Singing his cattle call He's brown as a berry from riding the prairie And he sings with an ol' western drawl Singing his cattle call

[Buckthebigman]

Absolutely beautiful, Cattle Call is one of my favorites, (and also has become my signature song, as it was Eddy's) and no one ever has, or will do it better than the TN Plowboy. I absolutely loved the shots you used for this clip, they fit the song perfectly. First rate job all the way!

[bluestingerborg]

I love this song by Eddy Arnold. For some reason it makes me think of the movie

Old Yeller.

[dlpine71]

my dad - a wonderful man and patient father - was a missouri southern country boy who loved eddy arnold. i have fond memories of him singing in the car - this song in particular. he's been gone for 35 years now, and i still miss him terribly. thanks, sodpoo, for the memory. great post! five stars!!

david

[sgtmelisa]

My daddy had this song in the truck, we would go look at the cows in the spring time and look at the new calves.

[top6700]

Back in the 1960s I was a small kid and remember my dad playing this--great memories of that time.

Andy Griffin got his start as the opening act for Eddie Arnold. People were coming to here Edie yodel this song and were introduced to Andy doing "What it was was football."

[crisprockdrummer]

I have this single on RCA Victor 45 rpm. I wore it out in 1960 when I was five.

[demonecanes]

w Eddy Arnold! great song

[sherrigfun]

Grew up on this music - my daddy & granddaddy used to play his music in the car on trips. Also, my father had an aswesome stereo collection of all the Old Guys from Grampa Jones on to Johnny Cash. My kids who are grown adults now & grandchildre think I've lost it when I play & sing this music - they've never neverof it!!!!!

[dav7722]

Same here!

[jimmaforprez]

Haven't heard this in a while. Very relaxing. It was the opening song in the movie 'My own Private Idaho' in the early 90's with River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves. Thanks for the memory, sorry for your loss.

[tlwaltz]

One of my favorite young childhood memories was listening to cattle Call. very Nostalgic.

[hotandshy]

well i dont know this song and it was way before my time. but its a good song.

[CadillacL]

My parents raised me on traditional country (was born in '71) This is one of my all-time favs.

[sodpoo]

I was born a bit earlier and the folks were in to Big Band...Glenn Miller and such, but Dad always had a flair for country. I never forgot this song in his collection. Snowbird by Ann Murray was another favorite of his.

[xXairsoftsnipaXx]

@CadillacL i was born in 96, raised from that "new not so good" country, wish there was mor elike this...

[CadillacL]

@xXairsoftsnipaXx You know great music then :)

[bustergreg19]

GREAT SONG

[rlgdguy]

My grandfather listened to this ALL the time, along with Jim Reeves and Nat King Cole.

[sodpoo]

I'm a big fan of Nat's music as well as his daughter!

[Lloydhl]

If you're a fan of Nat and Eddy, you've got class, in their fields, they were the cream of the crop, sodpoo!

[bobtin777]

my moms dad liked eddy too

[sodpoo]

My Dad could even yodel. LoL Made growing up pretty fun! Thanks for commenting!

[bobtin777]

Well thanks

[bluestingerborg]

I'll miss Eddy Arnold.
