Waylon Jennings Singing 'The House Song.'

[TheJanka51]

This could have been a number one song had it been released as a single. Its to bad Waylon drifted away from real singing , like most of the other country singers did.

[warmsquirrelturd]

What a find! EARLY Waylon is hard to come by and this one's great! Thanks...

[BarerMender]

It probably wasn't released as a single because someone thought it wasn't country enough.

[mammie64]

thanks for posting enjoy Waylons music very much!

Incredible version of Stookey's song. Tho only my third favorite. PPM's original is #1. Their arrangement was so far ahead of its time it's amazing. But I was actually introduced to the song by another version that just knocked my socks off. Hope someone will post the James Darren (yep - Moondoggie) version released in 1967...It was such a departure from his "Goodbye Cruel World" and "Her Royal Majesty" hits...saw him sing it on "Bandstand" -the kids didn't know how to react!

I like to get a buzz going and I'll play this song B4 i go to bed, man oh man what a good song, he died 1 day before my birthday and I'll never forget the day i heard the news, wish I could have seen you 1 time, I love your music

[maryriker]

My fave PP&M song, ever, was The House Song. I wish this had been released as a single---I think it would be a monster hit.

[gtredshoes]

What a wonderful song and what a welcome surprise .... hard to find this anywhere.

Fell in love with PP&M's Album 1700 many years ago and The House Song was

one of my favorites along with Great Mandela and Weep for Jaimie.. Love this version and appreciate you uploading it.

[punxy53]

This version, as well as the PPM, has a great ambiance. Great song.

[incainca1]

I raidoed with him in the 50s out in little field texas on KVOW (like waylon the station is long gone ~~~~~ and it lookes like I am not far behind ) He was a hell of a man with his hair greased down (shows how long ago it was. RIP Waylon !

[pup5ful]

themost beautiful song i have ever heard! it makes me want to cry.just an amazing singer!

[redunicorn]

tom jones did this song also, his version is amazing, cant find it anywhere

[jrdill1929]

He sure could sing.

[SEAMOKTactical]

Many discount Waylon's early work..it to me was some of the best country music of it's time...great songs sung by one of the best voices that country music (real country music) has ever seen....this song brings back so many memories...mom and dad dancing in the living room with us young'uns watching and giggling...good times...

[sharona666]

I love the pics of Waylon uploaded with this song. He really sings it so well! We lost a good one when we lost Waylon.

[nezichov]

I normally detest country music and then I am forced to reconsider. This is wonderful.

[Countryman456]

Love this song!!!

This House goes on sale every Wednesday morning

It's taken off the market in the afternoon

You can buy a part of it..if you want to

It's been good for me; it'll be good for you

[netdoctor1]

Take the grand look now..the fire is burning

Is that your reflection on the wall

I can show you this room.. and some others

If you care to see this house at all

[netdoctor1]

Careful up the stairs; a few are missing

I haven't had the time..to make repairs

The first one..is the hardest one to master

The last one..I'm not really sure is there

[netdoctor1]

This room once rang with childish laughter

I come back to hear it..now and again

I don't know why you're here..or what you're after

But in this room..a part of you remains

[netdoctor1]

Second floor.. a lady slept in waiting

Pass the lantern; tiptoe in it's glance

In the room are soft brown arms of shadows

This room.. is the hardest one to pass

[BLUEEYEDSOUL68]

@netdoctor1 thank you for the words, I too listened to my Mom's and Dad's 28! Waylon albums, so many aren't here... I love the song "Revelation" if anyone can find it..

[netdoctor1]

OMG!..I haven't heard this song since I was a kid living at home 30 years ago. Dad had a Country music various artist 8-track (!!) with this song on it. Truly a fabulous musical artist, and legend in American music history. Agree that the early stuff is the best before that Outlaw nonsense took his music in a direction I didn't care for, but followed him still out of loyalty for his early work. Thank you for posting this magnificent piece of work here. R.I.P. Waylon Jennings

This is when Music was Music RIP

[eastpremier]

WOW

[stephenandfelicia]

Good God I've always been a Waylon fan. He nailed this song. Awesome post. Thanx.

[viking1au]

I think PP&M recorded this about the time they did The Great Mandala (The Wheel of Life) & from memory the video was a posting from a performance in New Zealand. I hope they re-post it. -- A couple of things I have favourited get thrown off, but someone else re-posts them; so here is hoping!!!!!!

[viking1au]

Jeez, I have just been searching for this, by Peter, Paul & Mary. I had it in my favourites, but it got thrown off. Hope it gets put back on soon. Stookey in particular, is a truly great songwriter. - It once was on video of some sort by PP&M.

[davidlenander]

Noel Paul Stookey also recorded the song on his second solo LP, ONE NIGHT STAND, which I don't think has ever been released on CD. Thanks for posting this, I had no idea anyone had ever covered it. And Jennings does a nice job.

[purveys]

i think this was a B side on a peter paul & mary single. i have been trying to locate it . great memories

[starlet1984raggarn]

is there any cd or any thing to buy with this song?

[aknowneemus]

this one's a gem.

thanks for posting

[eatmydickdani]

This was the Waylon Jennings song that nailed me as a fan. I just wished Anita Carter was in this one---it'd have been a monster hit.

[bravebelt67]

I think its on the "Six strings away" box set cd.

[tarquin45]

Thanks jim. I just think it's a pity that it's not better known. Why this wasn't released as a single mystifies me to this day.

[jimkanuk]

excellent song of Waylon!thanks

[jeaniesdream]

how do i put this song on cd

[freakyA]

my favvo! the man with the feelin/ AndrÉEE

[jr4961]

Thanks loads for loading this song.. Love Waylon singing and this song is a one that shows his ability. Love the older songs he did more than the last ones.

Also, like Emmylou Harris singings, which I have found abundant here. Thanks again.

[katbaker1]

[siiwy]

[ricksalt]

[tarquin45]
