Cal Smith "I Just Came Home To Count The Memories"

[ballderus]

Cal was pure country. Never sold out.

[gumper1986]

This has to be my most favorite, and most hard hitting reality, song I've ever heard from any artist. I feel the pain in every verse, it's life in every sense of the word.

This is what country music is all about. A song about real life. You don't hear much like this on the radio these days.

I just love Cal Smith! His songs take me back to my young days.

[iceywinds69]

love this song...it reminds me of my childhood n my dad....when music was enjoyable

[hillbilly2bill]

headed home, I think you mean Carl Smith..he was married to June Carter.

they divorced and he married Goldie Hill..I can remember how mad I was

at him taking her out of the music business..I loved Goldie..She has

one from 1961-62 ..." If I can make it to the dawn"..it was written by

Carl Smith and he recorded it also..but it is the best Goldie Hill songs..

Cal Smith was in Branson the last time I saw him..hope this helps.

[char4him99]

An amazing artist.  His songs sure paint clear pictures... I love that his songs take the time to tell the story instead of just rushing thru

[pablum51]

I haven't heard this song in many years. I still remember it though.

This song was truly from the 'Golden Era' of music.

It's so well written and well performed that you can easily picture what it's about. It's as if you're actually there!

It's really nice to hear these oldies. These songs will live on forever.

[ramlinrose2]

[headedhome]

Don't know how many know we just lost another legend.Cal Smith. May he rest in Peace

[wilburscott]

I know that CARL Smith died, sure you're not thinking about him? Can't find anything on Cal dying..

[MrJayBBluejay]

@wilburscott A lot of people get Cal Smith (born Calvin Grant Shofner) sonfused with Carl Smith (born Carl Milton Smith). CARL Smith is no longer with us, CAL Smith is still living but I have heard he isn't in the best of health right now.

[rjstientjes]

@headedhome Purdy sure Cal Smith is alive and well in Branson, MO!

[barrygioportmorien1]

Great, very nostalgic tune. Haven't heard this in a long time.

[uncletomthall]
