if you'd like to know what happened to country music after the late 80's (with some notable exceptions) listen to "Murder on Music Row" by Alan Jackson.
i know what you mean ( country loven2003) today music they just scream and jump around. this is ho i buy the old stuff. i don,t know, maybe i,am old fashion. lol
@baldy194859 Thanks for your support, I have loved this song for years, and what comes from the country scene now, I must admit that a lot of it really sucks:-DD
@countryloven2003 I so agree- i only like the old fashioned real country not the commercialised stuff they pump out by the yard these days-when how and why did they change the sound?
A great production by billie jo,TheGREAT PRODUCER,larry butler,engineer,billy sherrill, Mr.TALKING STEEL GUITAR,pete drake,kenny odellL,drums,bob moore fender bass
Pardon me but Honestly speaking i am not familiar with this artist and this song. But when a man ( JEFF ) whom i am starting to miss every minute of the day , shared it to me..i became to like the song because of the lyrics..But when i heard it played the second time, it kinda made me shed a tear as if Jeff is thinking to disappear and stop seeing me again..oh, please Jeff don't think of doing it to me..coz you will surely hurt me..
@helenaZZZZirlandaise hey, how do you know that my Jeff is still there?. But you are absolutely right. He wont leave me because he knows that i care for him and will always be . Anyway, thanks you noticed my comment .. " What I've Got In Mind is now one of my favorite songs..
Billie Jo Spears = WOW TOTAL BEARTIFUL &Sexy way of singing a super star a real woman with a sexy voice ans she could do it all i love her songs , what a class act
Confession time. My taste is phsychedlia, punk, goth, but this track really hits the spot. When im going out this is the record i listen to and puts me in the mood for a great night. Respect, all the way!
FINALLY...People are seeing the truth behind counrty pop. I concur, Todays music is soulless, no style and no feeling. no direction! Songs from Charlie Pride, Faron Young, Johnny Paycheck, the young years of David allen coe, Billie Jo Spears...Yes this is when counrty was True country! songs from Tammy Wynette...Today's music it's trash in my opinion! And I have NOT bought an album since Randy Travis did Operator please connect me to 1982. Untill Music City straightens it up I refuse to buy!
A firm hand shake for your comment, seems staight from my heart too. few more lovable legends...Jim ed brown, johnny loughrey, Bill Anderson, Skeeter Davis, Melba Montgomery, Goldie Hill, Little Jimmy Dickens, Mick Flavin, Kris Kristofferson, n soooo many more.
I hail from the UK and i could not agree more give me True Country Singers Hank Snr,Merle,Don Gibson, Conway Twitty,Roger Millar, just to name a few. James.
this is another old goodie. this is what country music is supposed to sound like. can't beat it. thanks for the share. i'm doing my best to get some of these good songs down for our band to do. you got good taste in music. best wishes, margie
Country music today is nothing more than the flavor of the day. I can't stand the doubling vocal machine they use on virtually every song put out. I guess they use it so much because the country artists of today can't sing!
I no longer listen to country music radio, it makes me gag!
Love this lady. What a voice and what a song! Will live forever. Just found one for my jukebox! You go Billie Jo!
love billie jo spears work But i personally belive that she did her best recording work from United Artists in the 70s. Love this song sooooo much. Got loads of her Lp Records. Thanks For Posting
Not particularly a country fan but i like this song,have had it stuck in my head for the past couple of weeks.Would be a nice song for someone to recreate with a more modern back beat :D
I played this song in my early days as a country DJ...I like Billie Jo Spears because her powerful voice has such a "real" sound to it...Like someone you've always known.
i am fed up to the back teeth the way the media in this country appear to ignore country music. Trawl through radio channels just a load of rubbish. we need more country on the airways.
P.s I live in Scotland and am a 26 year old Celtic supporter who likes going to his uncles on old firm days and raiding his old country c.ds. Well, I have to say, this has been the unanimous winner, so much so that my missus now hates the song. But seriously, times must've been so so good back in the day, or I'm just old before my years (in musical taste that is, I still love getting blootered!).
classic comment, made my day cheers and enjoy country cheers ps check ut jim reeves, I too have enjoyed country since I was in late teens and now the wrong or is that right side of 40
Wow! These old country songs bring back fond memories of a much simpler time when life was a lot less hectic and a lot more enjoyable.
Most of the so-called music these days seems to be more of a get rich quick scheme than anything else, old country and old rock-and-roll is actual music performed straight from the heart.
Billie Jo has a very sexy voice and pretty to boot. She can sing anything and make it sound like an award winner. I'm sorry that she's not in the limelight anymore. Too many of today's singers are not really loaded with talent - more of just showmanship and often mediocre voices.
I like "Blanket on the Ground" too and "Mr Walker It's All Over". That one makes me laugh -Paula
OMGoodness. Thanks, Flashbell for posting this. Didn't expect the teary, lump-in-the-throat reaction this song brought on! Funny how music can transport us back to happy times, old loves, and our misspent youth! Love Billie Jo's earthy "countryness". She's the real thing.
