Rodney Crowell - I Couldn't Leave You If I Tried

[amylkin]

Absolutely love this song,And the artist :)

[jwhitecammack]

Makes me happy to hear an upbeat song and Rodney is awesome.... Wish I could meet him. He is easy on the eye for sure.

[chesseenespanol]

Yeah, Mel Gibson is pure American country. Long live the USA and down with the Jews,Mr Gibson!! LOL!!

[energystarguy]

Rodney is one of the lost music/vocal guys that gave us so much great music in the past.

[Salli7248]

I'm gonna try and sing and play this song with my guitar today on SingSnap Karaoke...not like Rodney Crowell though,lol...love his songs....he's so talented and good lookin' too,lol....

[hemp365]

looks like Stuart Duncan and Sam Bush on twin fiddles

[MrGaryj777]

Is the guy playing lead in this video the same as the guy on Rosanne's version of Tennessee Flattop Box and, if so, what's his name?

[BATENKILL]

Who was playing steel?

[hooeybrown]

@BATENKILL Might be Hank DeVito. Vince Gill, Steuart Smith, Michael Rhodes and Harry Stinson are in the video too.

[chewbacca0901]

He looks a little Mel Gibson-esque!

[clubbinkind]

rodney crowell...what a voice and he's easy on the eyes..

[fancifulfilly]

That sweet smile...so impish, so happy, and so SEXY! What a super talent this dude is. (Rosanne, how could you let him get away?) Awesome video, such great fun. Thanks for posting.

[fourtywpm]

nice song!

[Snowcat77777]

Nice video! I've heard that song!!! Nice traffic JAM too!!!!

[magbrown1]

Great song & singer Thanks

[JohnnyWanex]

Is this Mel Gibson's version of Garth Brookes/ ChrisGaines?

[1936buddy]

First time i listened to this song it was a hit with me so catchy.



[tooties1951]

Good Lookin' and Sexy Too! He's one of the Greatest Country singers/songwriters.

[TheChocmom]

So cute and looks like he is having fun!

[SecsSells]

How much for the girl in stripes at 2:26???

[casinogirl60]

I just adore Rodney Crowell and to me this an awesome song to do housework, take a shower to or even to do my exercises every morning to. Thank you

[redshaftedflicker]

Too slick for me but still damn good.

[schlagboy]

They may take our lives.....but they'll never take our freedom!!

[ours2005]

Great Song thanks

[eduardojgomeziii]

“I Couldn’t Leave You If I Tried” is one beautiful country song; the video is great too. I loved it. Rodney has a most melodic voice, and he’s got one mean Hawaiian guitar player to accompany him. And if you caught him on PBS, you’ll realize he is one wise man too.

[keithdumbass]

this dude looks so like dumbass mel gibson

[77larive]

@keithdumbass Your name fits ya!

[jsmaye]

@keithdumbass He looks more like George Harrison than Mel Gibson.

[Lucy8a54]

Years ago, I used to watch CMT for HOURS and HOURS - JUST to see THIS video! It is SO easy to be obsessed with Rodney Crowell!!!

[hayseed6969]

that steel player is freakin awsome!!

[gabbydeb]

Country doesn't get any better than this! I am a diehard Rodney Crowell fan!

[sceptresoul]

needs a little bit more Durango! I love Rodney Crowell!

[bigsistaboot]

Always loved this song! Whatever happened to him? (that is a GLORIOUS mullet!)

[crzyjanie]

well rodrma,i think its you who doesnt stand a chance.if it wasnt for the cashes country music would be lonely.in some way all the superstars have been connected to the reason we all love that music.i only pray that the new generation doesnt forget who made it possible for them .god bless all and tyvm for posting this great tune.a very simple lesson from country music.sing from the heart and the story will be revealed without saying a word,

[ssm070394]

Love Rodney Crowell and his music. Great singer/songwriter and saw him years ago in Nashville and he sang some of the best 50's & 60's music that I've heard in concert. Love him!!!! Suzanne

[Super70duster]

this guy was highly overlooked.like drquest44 said,rodney is a great singer/songwriter,he has written some good songs.ive been a fan since i was a teenager in the 80s.

[devlincd]

Rodney is playing at The Kent Stage in Kent, Ohio on March 5th!!!! It's a really great venue to see live music!!!

[ExZonie]

This album did not have a bad song on it - solid performances by a great singer!

[dwi55]

Stone cold country... with a young Vince Gill on fiddle to boot! Outstanding!

[60169johnny]

[thousandsmiles1]

That looks just like a Gibson Everly Brothers guitar Rodney's holding here.

[justmusicandme]

[justmusicandme]

@thousandsmiles1 :  Sure looks like that model to me! Thanks for the share!

[love it, thanks for sending ]

[AGibsonJ]

@thousandsmiles1...... I'm getting message that your "account has been closed"..... .hope all is well and you come back soon!!

[thanks for sharing this video]

[thousandsmiles2]

@AGibsonJ Well, "I couldn't leave you if I tried", could I?? LOL (Just friend requested you again.) 

[gyrgrls]

Whatever happened to music like this?

The mid-80's thru the early 90's were so rich with

talented artists like Rodney Crowell, Rosanne Cash, Robin Lee,

Patty Loveless, Ricky Van Shelton, ... the list goes on and on.

Today, I no longer listen to a contemporary country channel on

FM or XM radio ... forget it!.

Rodney's music will live on forever, as long as we roam the earth with

our guitars and our vocal cords...

[landrykkb]

@gyrgrls Although I like very few of the new so-called country artists,I agree wholeheartedly with you.

[DaveWollenberg]

Rodney hit #1 in Billboard, 9-3-88. Which brings up an interestin' question: Did Rodney leave Rosanne, or vice versa. Somebody please tell me which. God bless!

[waynemasters]

Great song, I've always loved this tune!

[notbendable]

Vince Gill and Sam Bush playing fiddles at the video shoot at 2:12

Great guitar solo and steel solo too!

[claypigeon77]

This is one Rodney that gets alot of respect and deserves all he gets

[GeneStewart71269]

One of country's best songs by one of country's best artist!!! Go Rodney!

[BlackbirdRaven22]

Definietly my favorite song by Rodney. Such a classic song with an old time feel. Makes me think that with my girlfriend that I will never leave her side ever. Love ya baby! Plus this sone just makes you want to get up and dance along, and you can't resist since the beat is such a foot tapper. :)

[Kim4300]

What a great song...what great memories

[bowlermikey]

Eagles latest guitar player the last few years with the white guitar......

[DixiePride18]

Damn who is this I like this song

[gregw98]

Right after the kid dances ar 2:25, isn't that Cyndi Lauper over Rodney's right shoulder? Btw, my favorite song by R/C

[pchocIV]

This song reminds me of getting lost in rural Massachusetts...sorry Southern folks, it reminds me of Massachusetts. It's a great song, brings back nice memories.

[rodrma]

God. To be young again. Heh - With the mind I've got - young pretty women wouldn't have a chance. (If the lord made anything better than a woman - he kept up there for himself)

[goldis21]

@rodrma made me laugh way out loud....

[cinna71]

its cool wen the kid starts dancing lol

[patrish60]

Love this video.

[mrke8ting]

ummm this song just gets ya swaying and singing along, love it

[55555annie]

Damn! Rodney's hot in this vid! THANKS FOR POSTING!!!

[debfan74]

One of my faves from growing up....even though I was mostly into pop rock, this is one song that got me swaying into country when I first heard it :-)

[bigbluemsp]

I told the girl I LOVE more then anything this the other night. She's seeing someone now but Ill never leave her side! I know she's the one and she knows it too but it takes time to realize it. :(

[xxlonestarxchickxx]

i love this!! this is real country!! one of my favorite rodney videos!!

[600keith]

love rodney and love this song...but that BIG HAIR.....ooooooooh

[TrutherD1]

Learn about "chemtrails"... :*(

[DrQuest44]

A highly underrated singer/songwriter. Good song!

[milor251]

@DrQuest44 You are 100% correct on that statement...love Rodney

[FXMAN66]

@DrQuest44 So long as he is not underrated by the RIGHT people. I don't think RC gives a rat's arse what the typical nashville people think.

[gim357]

@DrQuest44 you are not in texas. RC i a revered songwriter in Texas and in the real country community

[DrQuest44]

@gim357 So I'm not allowed to be a Rodney Crowell fan and I can't fully appreciate his music because I dont live in Texas? Are you serious?

[obdami]

@DrQuest44 -- Who say's he underrated? Are you kidding? Crowell is highly respected as a mega songwriter in the music biz. His songs have been covered by a ton of country stars and they racked up hit after hit.
