I am a huge fan of the DRB! Is that Bill Bryson playing bass or a fill in musician? You guys are awesome! I still listen to yall all the time on my IPOD!
Was wondering if this was the same outing as when I saw them at "The Crazy Horse Steakhouse" in of all places, Santa Ana, CA.? It was during '86-88' period.. real good stuff here!.. thanx , circleK
Kinda funny how it worked out with the Steel Guitar Players of the DRB, The Late Tom Brumley came to the Desert Rose Band from Buck Owene Buckaroos and the Great Jay Dee Manness went from the Desert Rose Band to The Buckaroos. it just shows you the caliber of their playing which is 2nd to none
Do you ever notice with this group how neat they always dressed, which is more than i can say for the so called acts being shoved down our throats they call country
I always wanted the Dillards and the Flying Burrito Brothers to mingle. One of the best bands ever. Chris Hillman's final hurrah. Best version of this song however was the New Riders of the Purple Sage.
These guys are beyond defining as words can never do it justice for how great these guys are. I don't mind the country music of today, but this is the best.
I sit and play the guitar along with this and it just gets you right into it, and it really does have that extra what it takes to catch your attention.
The Desert Rose Band is now back together again with the original lineup and they are doing some touring. Go to chris hillman dot com to find out more!

Great band. I have been so lucky to meet Jay Dee Maness when he was in Norway in 1997 and 2001. He teach me a lot on the Pedal steel. He is a fine man.
If I had a chance to put together and band and a sound - this would be it. This is one of my favorite groups of all time. When they hit the scene, it was like someone came up with music just for me. These days, they wouldn't probably make it to country radio, because they are more country than most of the crap on the radio these days.
I Agree rockon. Desert Rose Was An Extension From The Music That Gram Parsons Did........Chris And Gram Will Be Soulmates ( In music) For Eternity.....
yeah these new country upstarts and L.A producers have ruined country music and nashville today they may as well rename nashville the pop crap music capitol of the world cause it aint country no more its crap. the desert rose band was agreat country rock band and sure miss there music amen.
Who are you, the grammar nazi? youtube still suprises me to this day with all of the idiots like you who have to attack people for no legitimate reason.
I refer to Nashville as Trashville. That's all that comes out of there anymore nowadays. Just listen to talentless losers like Taylor Swift. She makes me want to literally throw up. She has no idea what country music is really supposed to sound like.
You're absolutely right! What Chris, Herb, John, Bill, Jay Dee and Steve tried to accomplish wouldn't work in a Nashville that sucks nowadays. In fact they had problems there because their country was Californian - better than Brooks, Martina, Urban, McGraw - lol - or the rest of the faux singers.
Great band! The steel player is JayDee - don't remember the last name - but he was with Buck Owens for a long time. The song has been recorded by just about every big name in classic country - including Buck Owens.
@Poconobuc Dicky Lee wrote this song, He also wrote she thinks I still care...Patches...
Great song one of the best real country bands to ever hit the stage period!. All of them LOVED Buck Owens..they grew up listening to Beatles,Del Shannon Buck Owens,Jerry Lee Lewis
With every video you post I remember how much I loved this band. I still do. I am so grateful I got to see them in concert on several occasions. I really miss them.
