Just an amazing song from Tom T Hall and there are loads of fine versions from all manner of artists and Keith was an amazing talent. He does it justice without question.
@jamiegobangbang hi man just got your message i love whitley and country music my friends laugh at me for it
but they dont anything about it hi to u and good drumming pal keith music will live forever it pure magic it a shame there no country music radio 24 hours a day in scotland thank god for the net peace man
Yes, IMHO, Keith Whitley was the best singer/artist who ever lived!
It is very sad he left us so soon, but I've been a "YouTuber" for years now & so very happy to see all the people, young & old, who have kept his memory going on strong! :-)
It seems like each month or so we get more & more people appreciating Keith for his Awesome talent & recognize Keith as a True Country Legend!
Rest High On That Mountain dear Keith. You will Never be forgotten!!! :-)
wow , such emotion,its a damn shame that you cant hear music like this on the radio. Whatever they play on the radio AIN'T Country. This Defines country music to me
My first time to hear it. If nobody told me, I would guess it was Vern Gosdin. I had never noticed the similarity in phrasing that I hear on this song.
I could listen to this over and over. It gives me cold chills. Keith just had a way of singing a song. He sang it with pure feeling. Nashville doesn't know what country music is anymore. This is country. Not Taylor Swift or RASCAL Flatts. Keith was a true great. He is very sadly missed. Keith Whitley forever.
Oh my Lord, they JUST DON'T make voices like Keith's anymore, one of a kind for sure, is a tragedy to think how much more GREAT music he could have put out all these years... SO SADLY missed to this day... what a loss...
This is absolutely one of the best songs ever.live ,and sounds better than anything coming out of nashville these days.keith whitley a true legend. Respected among his peers!
I'm sorry but what you said almost sounds laughable, as Keith Whitley has far surpassed any "peers". His voice is far better than any other country singer ever.
I'm not sure how I missed this post of yours until now Sharon, but it is wonderful....hearing his beautiful voice is worth making a slight adjustment on volume control..the pictures you posted with the vidoe are wonderful. Who is the young man kneeling at Keith's grave? That is such an emotionlly moving picture with Keith's smiling face watching from above...like we all like to believe his is doing now.
Thank you so much! Better late than never, right? That young man is an up-and-coming country singer by the name of Scott Hisey, a student of the Keith Whitley School of Hardcore Honky-Tonk Country Music. I've seen him in concert, and he's excellent. I know Keith is smiling down on us. All the friendships that he helped to create, all the singers who praise him with their music, the throngs of fans who still travel to Sandy Hook every Labor Day weekend... How can he not smile?
As always, thank you for the reply Sharon. Scott Hisey doesn't seem to have anything on you tube, not that I could find.
Back to Keith, this song is just perfect for me and my husband. He traveled (mostly flying) across the US for Xerox for 35 years. He flew over our house a lot leaving DFW. I wasn't sleeping though, usually I was going to or from DFW. This one and Willie Nelson's "You Were Always On My Mind" fit us to a T.
Never heard this one til now and it is fabulous...have searched all over amazon for this with no luck. Anyone know if this was ever put to CD or casette??
No, this was from a bootleg concert recording from a concert he put on in Holland in the spring of '89, when he made the trip to Europe to make an appearance on the Wembley Country Music Festival that year in London. The few tracks I have from this concert are relatively poor quality--low volume, etc. It was not recorded from the soundboard.
Wow, Keith, what a vocal performance again . . . I wish I'd been there - coming from Holland I feel kinda guilty . . . well, huge thanks for making this available on the net!!!
By the way - I think Tom T. Hall is still alive, kickin', pickin' and writin' - hope I'm right.
Wow! Cool! It constantly amazes me how many people from Europe have been touched by Keith. He's got quite a following in many European countries such as England, Germany, Holland, Greece, etc. And yes, Tom T. is still alive and doing his thing. A phenomenal storyteller he is, too!
amaging country singer... damn good song and lyrics... rip Whitley
