WOW! Theres no country like this anymore. I remember Janie on the Statler Brothers Show. Love her , Johnny, and the Statlers. Hey. Saw a tribute group to the Statlers called American Pride. My husband loves it. Maybe real music will come back.
This song and this pair of great artists are what made country music so great. This song makes me miss the good old days when country music was country music and not the so-called plastic country music that is now performed today.
I've never heard a duo that complemented each other sound as much as Johnny and Janie did, what a duo. I never get tired of hearing them, their vocals always puts me in a good mood.
I read about this song basically causing Janie Fricke to have a solo contract. I can certainly see why now that I have seen it. A brilliant performance for both artistes.
Im proud to be a fellow Texan as Johnny and Janie are. Johnny lived in Dublin until his death, and Janie still lives in the Lancaster area. This music "IS" Country music. None of the mainstream Nashville Pop sound we hear today.
I go back many, many years with country music ( late '40s early '50s ). In my mind Johnny Duncan & Janie Fricke recordings are rated # 1. They are definitly the greatest duet singers I've ever heard.
Janie Fricke is about one of the best female singers ever in country music. Vern Gosdins Til the end with her backing vocals still gives me chills this day. I'm with ya'll country music today is NOT country music. Shame on Nashville!!!!
What a wonderful voice Johnny Duncan has. I really love hearing his voice after all this time....I am 38 and I owe it to my Daddy for listening to this wonderful music as I grew up!
Nice ione -Janie has a fantastic ability to duet - she fits her voice into his - matches up - thanks for posting - 'shut out the lights and lead me' - great line - Nice Duet -
I live in Dallas Texas, and Janie lives in the Desoto/Lancaster area and Johnny lived in Dublin Texas, so I am very proud to be neighbors with them. Of Johnny is now gone God bless him. I worked at Southern Junction many years and have met Janie a few times and know most of her local band. This is TRUE country music at its BEST!
I keep coming back to this one....I love Janie and Johnny and this video is one of the best!
