@labtide Wonderfu place. Haven't been there in years.

[MrRazorblade999]

The lyrics are funny as hell. "She said, "You don't look like my type but I guess you'll do...And he said, I'll even tell you that I love you If you want me to"

[Contakum]

So redneck, so raw, so honest.....so perfect.

[laroger0]

In today's environment, you need to check out the panties/shorts right away... there are now too many transexuals out there passing themselves off as a different gender than they really are. That goes for you, too, ladies!!

[ohthemoonandstars]

[prober45]

[truckergreg1]

I have lived up North Dakota way all my life and dont ever recall them from being up here....great song though ...isnt cheating fun!!

[avdreader1]

I taled to a teen-age girl today, and she said the music of today really was awful. She loves the Beatles and the Who. I love this song. Esp. the lyric "I'll even tell you that I love you if you want me to. Great line!!

[cindygibbsbarfield]

sTILL MAKES ME HAPPY FOR SOME REASON. MANY MEMORYS FROM BACK IN THE DAY

[phildirt3]

i wish itunes wouldnt sell rerecorded versions of great songs they all suck saw them in the 70 s with a vince gill bluegrass band opening very enjoyable love smiths voice

[phildirt3]

i wish itunes wouldnt sell rerecorded versions of great songs they all suck

[winston061]

They are from Rogersville, Tennessee in the eastern mountains. Went to school with some of them. They started out as The Loves Ones.

[steveyraynelson]

wish i could hear I'll Be Gone on here!

[matty8371]

sounds like kenny rogers singing......

[phildirt3]

@matty8371 smith would hate that remark

[biggootz]

This is one song that tells it like it is. No hidden meanings.

[ivorystroker]

I remember 1st hearing this song on an old juke box about 74 in Destin , Fla. Melvins rec room. Playing pool and smokin Marlboro reds @ 12 yrs old ... lookin for trouble in a sleepy little fishin village...

[wgairns]

Great song, great musicians. Every nuance is punctuated with patient restraint, and an intricate attention to the tempo. Perfection is difficult to achieve, but they did it, AWESOME guitar!

[phoenixtimes2]

Recreational intercourse? Is there any other kind? :)

[philmeinya1]

@phoenixtimes2 LOL!!!!!!!

[Rabidburt]

helluva tune, helluva band. Reminds me of Levon. . .

[dpohunter]

"They drove to the Family Inn..." Back when this song came out, FAMILY INNS was a fairly good-size "budget" motel chain throughought the South. Now they've retreated to mostly TN ...still wearing the same garrish yellow and orange paint they wore back in the '70's... Just what a low-rent rendezvous should look like! Great song!!

[kneapoe51]

Man, sure takes me back......I just love the hell outa this tune, always have. Totally agree that this version smokes Kershaw's cover. Didn't know they were from Memphis either & we all know that musically,.....well, for my money anyways that THAT'S about as good as it gets. Thank you for posting , it is much appreciated.

[Drewster58]

A couple bands I was in in the 80's used to do this song - a lot of people in those bars related a little too closely to this tune.

[randalbyrd]

We used to go see Jeff and Russell at some joint in Memphis. I want to say the Purple Pelican or something like that. Dang, those were the days.

[britneyashley1991]

@randalbyrd Hi, I think it was the Pink Panther. . I worked in a bar called the Daily Planet on park avenue and they played there too..Yes..those were the days...I remember Butch and Billy..

[GooglFascists]

My God this sums up the Ford/Carter years, don't it? Gas tripled in price and Ford had people wearing "W.I.N." buttons, (Win against Inflation), while he hit his head & fell on his *ss going to visit Betty in Rehab. . . . How about Carter's "Malaise of the American People"? Everything bad going on was OUR FAULT, while the only "MALAISE" was in the friggin White House, JUST LIKE NOW. Its enough to make you HURL. We had enough of IDIOTS & WALL STREET PET MONKEYS. Let's GET BACK TO WORK!

[jasperiffic1]

@GooglFascists Great comment!

[boatman1953]

Takes me back to a very very special time in my life. Good Lord I wish I could take it back. The things I would do different. RIP Honey.

[DaveWollenberg]

The Aces hit #14 in Billboard, 9-13-75. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Sure beats Sammy Kershaw's cover version.

[KnownByU]

The very first concert I ever attended was Aces. Memphis, TN, Auditorium North Hall, 1976. Awesome. Unforgettable.

[TheCrywolf91]

this song is very awesome im 16 but i love music and my dad and i liten to all kinds this song rocks alot

[Marley800r]

I was told this band hailed from North Dakota? anyone? 

[SuperDjdaba]

@Marley800r Amazing Rhythm Aces were formed in Memphis in 1974 by bassist Jeff Davis and drummer Butch McDade, who had earlier recorded and toured with the great singer/songwriter Jesse Winchester. After striking out on their own, Davis and McDade enlisted vocalist/guitarist Russell Smith, keyboardist Billy Earheart, Dobro player Barry Burton, and pianist James Hooker to develop a sound composed of equal parts pop, country, and blue-eyed soul.

[TheGtblues]

@SuperDjdaba I was a Roadie For Jesse Winchester in the early 70.s..We went on tour through the Canadian Maritimes.... We were in a hotel in Charlettown P.E.I. when the Media phoned and wanted to know the name of Jesse,s back -up band The amasing Ruthem Aces!!!! Butch would always sing Third Rate Romance....God bless you Butch i know you.re still singing that song with the Heavenly Band.....Jeff stick Davies and I stay in touch,glennturner@shaw.ca.....

[timtipton5071256]

@SuperDjdaba You are correct sir ! I like when someone answers a question with the basic facts...I love this song BTW....

[olgrunt1]

@Marley800r They are from Evansville In.

[mbro7612]

Hi! My name is John "Marty" Trautman, co-founder & member of a New York City doo-wop group known as "The Chevrons". I LOVE THIS RECORD!

[mrsgstd]

I remember when this song came out. I thought the lyrics were "Third grade romance..."

[7070legend]

[Peoria3165]

[dougalmac54]

I wish they had "Hit the Nail on the Head", another very cool "Aces" tune.

[SuperDjdaba]

@dougalmac54 Amazing Rhythm Aces - Stacked Deck (1975). It is track #5 on this album. :)

[FromLashesToAshes]

[prpro57]

"Yes I have but only a time or two", rates right up there with, " it wont hurt but a little bit"....Great song......

[olondaray]

I damn sure did enjoy listening to that again SuperDjdaba !!:"} 

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #97 song for '75. ARA hit #11 country, #14 pop, and, #33 AC. Didn't care much for Sammy Kershaw's remake. God bless!

[alamanderflash]

"You don't look like my type, but I guess you'll do" Show of hands, whose been there themselves?

[thewoo692004]

@alamanderflash @2:00 am when the bar is closing everyone's standards go down. (shamefully down)

[alamanderflash]

@thewoo692004 In the words of another classic country song "Don't the girls all get prettier at closing time." For those of you who haven't heard it, look for the song of that name by Mickey Gillley

[pwhistleb]

Wow, I haven't heard this song in years........Bring's back some great memories. Thank's for postin' it........It's great!!!

[kk3jst]

Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperDjdaba]

@kk3jst Thanks for commenting! :P)

[rocker53zero]

@1118brittni  its sarcasm, simply beyond your level of intellect.

[msstevie1951]

rocker53zero,I love this always did! Been there done that! LOL! ♥

[rocker53zero]

I don't really understand the story line. Is it about a man who is taking his wife out to dinner ?

[msstevie1951]

@rocker53zero Oh sure, you're so innocent! LOL Just give me the key and I'll unlock the door, Baby Boy! But I've never done this kind of thing before! ha ha ha! ♥ I just love your sense of humor! I don't think it's his wife and I know dinner wasn't involved,she was straring at her coffee cup,he was trying to keep his courage up ♥

[SuperDjdaba]

@rocker53zero This is a song about recreational intercourse.

[rocker53zero]

@SuperDjdaba My remark was one of sarcasm.

[smujer1]

@SuperDjdaba .......LOL!!

[swiggy58a]

@rocker53zero -Not hardly, rocker. It's about a cheap one night stand! You don't get out much; do ya?

[yesihavenocigarettes]

@swiggy58a

lol. Yea. If you have to ask. Pretty explanitory.

[rocker53zero]

@swiggy58a You don't seem to understand sarcasm.

[mwendlo]

@rocker53zero Yes, it's about a man taking someone's wife out to dinner...just not his own.

[rocker53zero]

@mwendlo I really did understand the storyline, i'm just using sarcasm. 

[vseas3]

This one sounds diffrent.

[SuperDjdaba]

@vseas3 Hi..It is from Amazing Rhythm Aces - Stacked Deck (1975) Track #01. Hope you enjoyed it.:)
