A Country Boy Can Survive - Hank Williams Jr - Sherrill Wallace cover

[peelgirl]

Hey" Sherill"... this is a fabulous cover!.re: the info on your video. i learned to shovel coal at the age of 9 years old.. thats how we heated our house back then..some of the best times of my life.." it taught me to be strong from a young age and to appreciate" heat".. using coal and wood....

I'm proud to be a "coal miners daughter".. and to have them country roots...

God Bless!

[sherrillwallace]

@peelgirl And may God Bless this "coal miners daughter"! Your story sounds like mine. My life taught me to be strong too. In our world we could make it or we could fall by the wayside. No one was there to pick us up. I have 11 brothers and sisters and often we didn't have enough food to ear, cloths to wear, the whole bit. You know what I mean. I'v very glad I met you. Sherrill

[peelgirl]

@sherrillwallace Amen to that Sherill " though alot of today's society(young generation) wouldnt know what those times were like.. i remember using a cast iron stove that we'd stock with wood, to make oatmeal every day of week, and lima beans at dinner time, though food back then,,kept me healthy,never seen a doctor my whole childhood.These days food has to many chemicals in it.there were 6 kids in my family 4 boys and 2 girls... my brothers all served the military and us girls,, grew up fast!

[00TheRacecar]

Great job man! You sir, Are a TRUE MAN! This world needs more people like us. Not these gangs and all the bad things going on these days.!

[sherrillwallace]

@00TheRacecar Thanks a million race man. I'm a farmer and cattle farmer. The city folks call it a cattle ranch. Love what I do, love the outdoors, drag racing and playing my guitar. Thanks for taking the time to listen and the nice comment. Peace, Sherrill

[MrStreetavenue]

Nice one Sherrill, love your distinctive vocal as always, you've got your own sound man! - Hope everythings ok down your neck of the woods - Peace Jim

[sherrillwallace]

@MrStreetavenue Thanks Jim for the nice compliment. I suppose my sound is the deep south sound, accents and all. I own and operate a cattle operation so I'm sort of a real cowboy in real life. I love it and let that rasing bleed over into my music. Thanks again for taking the time. Peace to you, Sherrill

[ohcysp10]

Hey Sherrill, this is a very nice cover. Like everyones already said on these comments, its nice to talk to a real country man and not some kid that just got his cowboy hat and boots last week! But hey man I got a request, could you do a cover of Highway Song by Blackfoot? I think itd be awesome!

[sherrillwallace]

@ohcysp10 Thanks very much for the nice compliment. Glad you took the time to listen. The Blackfoot song is new to me but I'm gonna ck it our right now. If I feel I can do it just, I will do it and send it you. peace and thanks again. Sherrill

[sherrillwallace]

@sherrillwallace Oh I know that song. I had just forgotten it. They sound like 38 Special or Lynyrd Skynyrd on this song. I will try to post it for you when I get that for on my request list. Thanks for reminding me of a great song. peace, Sherrill

[Ladyburg299]

this guys got a bit more of a willie nelson twang to him

[sherrillwallace]

@Ladyburg299 Since I like Willie Nelson I'll thak that as a compliment. I can sing Willie Nelson, but I think I sound more like Hank Jr. on this one. I did ck out your two songs. I can't think of anyone they remind me of. Peace, Sherrill

[lilrebelkid96]

heck ya nice job bro nice to hear a good country boy hear a great country song keep the work up man!! stay strong, stay country, have fun!! :) oh and remember country boys can and will survive ;)

[sherrillwallace]

@lilrebelkid96 Thats right, us country boys will survive. I live in Mississippi and I have plowed all day long and cat fished all night just like the song says. Glad you dropped by, come back any time. peace, Sherrill

[l3lackout77]

I'll tell you man, there aint too many of our kind left out here or were all just laying low for as long as we can you know. It sure is nice to be able to talk to someone like me and as country as I am without a bunch of bullshit drama surrounding it...Happy Living the Country Way...Peace

[sherrillwallace]

@l3lackout77 Thanks very much Joe. I agree 100%. Way too much drama and fake people who believe you can become addictted to things or have to be in a gang or such crap. I live my live a straight up man. If I tell you something you can take it to the bank. Like in my dads day.

Brilliant Sherrill. These days, "self-sufficiency" is all the rage...
