Keith Whitley - Between An Old Memory And Me

[SCryder07]

in my opinion this and travis tritt's version are both equal

[LittleBridgeForge]

He's underrated.

[denile06p]

God how I loved this man's voice.. he inspired me to drag out the my fiddle and play along,, giving me, and my children a life time of music.. love and laughter.

Miss you so Keith,, RIP



[KMAwithCapitalA]

Anyone who has had a broken heart can relate to this. You notice how his voice gets scratchy when says 'pouring the whiskey down'. I miss him, a talent who died way before his time.

[jimbeamman3]

RIP KEITH. YOU ARE FINALY DONE WITH THE B**CH YOU WERE MARRIED TO.

[kicko61]

SOLID talent

[hoprabbitbunny]

Between an Old Memory and Me-One of the Saddest Country Songs ever recorded. Keith Whitley made Country a work of art. Rolling Stone loved his Mountain Soul! For Keith, you will never be forgotten by me!-Rock in Peace, Keith!

One of my all time favorites.. best voice ever...how time flies. it will be 23 years this year(May 9) since we lost him & i will not go three days without listening to him... miss you Keith

[cowboyfan1113]

the only thing a pure country music fan can say to this is WOW!!! what a damn voice he had

[Ginger37377]

@cowboyfan1113 I saw his son perform in a little hole in the wall bar in Nashville a few years ago, and he sounds just like him!

[HLB1971]

@Ginger37377 Im not trying to be a dick but his son has a long way to go before he can hold a candle to Keith im sorry but thats how i see things

[TheRustynails888]

The greatest voice ever.

[BerleeKym]

Love Keith's & I have not heard TTritts DO NOT WANT to hear it it is def. Keith's song I suggest Travis get his own music.... & IF that doesnt settle this than Keith is 10 times better lookin than Travis ever will be! Just saying..... Love Keith

[pputnam100]

@BerleeKym Hi, I have to say after reading some of the comments that I understand folks loving Travis Tritt, I think he's great, and I understand how fans can even love him to the point where any musical judgement goes out the window.

[pputnam100]

@pputnam100 but when you record a song so superbly crafted as Whitley did with this tune, but you do nothing different to it, nothing to make it "your own" - then this just invites a rather unfavorable comparison. So I just listened to Travis' take on this tune and I feel strongly that if you were to ask Travis his opinion he would be honest and man enough to admit that his rendition pales in comparison with the original. Just saying...

[denisejhorn]

R.I.P. Keith, still love you and your music

[bjrogers1973]

you don't get anymore "old-school" country than this man! It would have been incredible if he were still alive today to hear what he would have recorded!

[arriellesmommy]

KEITH WHITLEY OWNS THE SONG NO DOUBT, BUT AS A COVER TO SING THE SONG WITH A POWERFUL VOICE OF PASSION, I THINK THAT TRAVIS TRITT DID DO JUSTICE TO THE SONG. THEY SANG IN DEFINATELY THEIR OWN WAYS AS MOST ARTISTS DO AND THAT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT MUSIC, I DON'T THINK THAT KEITH WHITLEY WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED ABOUT TRAVIS TRITTS VERSION. HE SANG WITH DEEP PASSION AND DID GREAT. KEITH WHITLEY DID ALSO BUT OWNS THIS SONG NO DOUBT AND YA CAN FEEL IT IN YOUR HEART, NO NEED TO KNOCK TRAVIS OVER IT

[thekenster35]

Keith is great, and he hit a home run with this song. But Travis Tritt hit a grand slam with it.

[Racingis2cool88]

@thekenster35 seriously, you need surgery on your ears, If you think travis tritt, did anything with this song. Keith Whitley owned it, and sounded 1000 times better!

[jtyler5]

John Tyler did a good job on this song over at jtyler5.



[dcp162011]

This is the way country music should sound, the words, the tune, and the singer. Keith Whitley was and still is the best

[waycephus623]

TT may be a better artist but not quite the singer

[dude9474]

thankyou libby.....he was my grandfather :(

[LibbyD1958]

R.I.P Charlie Craig ( July 1, 2011 ) Thank You for writing such a wonderful song ! and for those of us that knew you on a personal basis, the meaning behind this song makes it even more special. see you and Betty in heaven !! You may have lost out to cancer...but you will live forever in God's home !!

[fallenangel80]

i went on so many sprees to keith, just when you play his songs they are so sad you have to drink one out

[livinginthepast58]

i'd like to knock whoever disliked this songs teeth out....

[jthoma84]

Don't go out with your friends or family to a bar or by yourself for that matter, drink too much, and then pick this song on the jukebox, trust me I don't care how tough you are this song will make you cry especially if ur under the influence of alcohol. You will only be able to think of sad memories. Still I love this song!

[mikey199019]

no one can top him far as i can see and hear !!!!!!!!!!! damn i wish i was born when he was alive goooooood man and sad life :(

[HandymanHaugen]

I like it!!! And it is just beween an old memorey and me!!!!

[slimjim6783]

Don't know where this song came from but I'm sure glad u posted it. It is a beautiful song and really hits home. Love Kieth's songs and his great voice.

[wvClifton]

Does anyone else notice how his voice resembles Merle Haggard when it goes to vibrato in the lower registers?

[jthoma84]

This song takes me back to a time and place that always seems to be on my mind, can't get that old memory off my mind, love Keith Whitley music, when he says "I'm not hurtin anybody, as far as I can see, i just need to be alone sometimes, it hits home with me...no artist these days went through what most of us fans do, they just sing about it. That's what makes Keith THE BEST

[tejastrojan]

@jthoma84 Preach on brother !!!

[nape4u]

Travis couldn't hold his guitar I'm just saying.

[cash1115]

@nape4u your a f**king tool too i'm just saying.  this turd doesnt hold a candle to tritt!!! he sounds like a cartoon

[alphalph123]

@cash1115 Travis Tritt is a very good singer but he can hold a candle up your ass Keith is the mother fucking BOMB

[Ethyliel]

@cash1115 Can I ask you how he sounds like a cartoon? I mean without getting insulted would be nice. I just wanna know how one sounds like a cartoon...?

[nape4u]

@cash1115 You goofy no class having none music understanding SON OF A BIATCH you don't know what music is let alone country so suck my fatty you piece of shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nape4u]

@cash1115 Oh have a nice day.

[smshields1110]

ill drink this shot of jim beam for you Mr. Whitley

[janielindon]

This song reminds me so much of my late husband Randy Whitley, Keith's brother. I can't listen to it without crying. I will always love you Randy, Keith and Nephew John Whitley.

[redtony58]

@janielindon So sorry for your loss. All the fans know how keith felt it too. I've got to believe some of that went into this performance. As time passes, I hope you find the heartache has grown a smile and a happy 'old memory' That's what I've found to be true. Tony

[1977CaperGuy]

this song rips a new hole every time i hear it, I love everything Keith did, he was amazing!

whoever posted this had great taste, and according to the name "uncletomhall" you've got great taste in country, Tom T. is one of the greatest, thanks for the posts!

[payne7726]

love what ever he song

[MrJaybozo]

Smooth smooth voice

[Bluesanne]

[seetroo]

If you get a chance check out "Kentucky Bluebird" a Keith Whitley tribute band, they sound just like Keith.

[MrRexieDoodle]

ppriceless

[cgill69]

He had tremendous range. I miss him too.

[bowlin3483]

truely amazin. keith whitley is awesome. 

[clemsontigz]

Travis triit done a great job on this song also.. I thing Travis is the only man, musician that COULD do it justice... Great song all the way around whichever sings it

[jthoma84]

I've never heard anyone else with pure country comin outta his voice like Keith Whitley....best voice country music has ever had, in my opinion. Just listen to the part "I'm not hurtin anybody as far as I can see, I just need to be alone sometimes" now thats a line from a country singer who put his heart into it.

[62780024]

@jthoma84 just listen to an old memory and me....

or i wonder do u think of me....

[farmcist]

what an amazing talent, his voice was so pure it sounds like a finely tuned musical instrument

[DERedhead65]

they just DO NOT make voices like Keith's often... what a Loss to the world... and to his family, friends, fans, I still miss him... RIP Keith...
