this was my parents' song. my father was a dirty cowboy from arizona and my mother was a city girl from new york who moved with her calico cat to los angeles. i have such fond memories of my parents smiling and singing this to each other.
I love it that Shelly laughed when she couldn't hit the note: just means she's having fun. We all remember the "fun" days. David still has the cry in his voice. 1:45 isn't Barbara - would like to know as well. Jimmy Mac - Las Vegas
There is a Cherokee County in Kansas , I lived there for 10 years and when this song first came out in the 80's Country Music was all you could find on the radio. Back then Shelly West was flat out beautiful.
Loved their music - Thanks for posting - what happened to all the other videos from these sessions with the oldtimers?? I don't see them on U tube now - what's up with that i wonder? Thanks...
I'm in the Air Force and moved to Vegas in September 2008. First step on the "Move to A New City" checklist is scan AM radio for the Country Gold station. Just so you know, it's 790 in Sin City.
They're both still very good. And they sang this song in 83 I believe and they performed it periodically but this get together it has been years since they performed that tune.
You have no idea how much seeing these 2 sing this means to me, THANK you for posting. I fell in love w/ this man's voice about 10 years ago and, like a naive newbie, started looking for his current recordings.. not knowing he was gone. sigh....
Great song and performance by David and Shelly...looks like a great audience in the video too...I know I saw Crystal out there! I sure miss this kind of great country.
Shelly West is such a Babe!!! Just like her mom

She looks better here, so was so young; look at the earlier ones. They also lowered the key a whole step; she is not straining, more natural!

David Frizzell has got to be one of the most underrated voices in country music... Shelly is, of course, in a class by herself.
Great Post!
