After reading some of these comments I went to Gary Allan's page and really listened to his version of this song. I have to say I really liked it so listened to several of his songs with a totally open mind. This song that he sang was an attention getter but the rest of the ten songs or so that I viewed were just good but not great. Everything that Waylon sings is off the charts wow factor so I have to say Waylon wins yet again.
both versions, waylon's and gary's have their unique aspects. I never heard waylon's until today. i like them both, but gary's will be the one i listen to. thanks for posting this so i could hear it. :)
@perrigan58 agree GARY is one of the few newer singers i like and he does a great job but WAYLON is my favorite artist i like his better but GARYS is very good
@MiddleMadMen It is down to the listener and there own preferences, don't knock anyone
who thinks differently i just agree on the Waylon point, but for me he was the greatest ever and that includes Elvis and anybody else you care to mention

I didn't know that this is Waylons song, wow, there just isn't too much he couldn't do, was there !?! Man country music misses him more than they know!
I had no idea this song was done before Gary Allan! Waylon is really the best ever. He doesn't get the credit he deserves. No offense to Johnny Cash, but Waylon was musically more gifted and did more for the genre with less fanfare. He took country music in a new direction in a way that no one else has since (well no one else has shaped it in a good way; you could argue Garth and Shania took it in a new and crappy direction).
erik thanks for the comment i wouldn't argue with you, Garth and Shania did take lead country in to the crap period, it finds itself in today and Nashville encouraged it. Thank god we still got Willie and KK, Merle and George and couple more like them but it is headed the wrong way still for me
Waylon found the woman who was better than most..............and he turned a new leaf, it's all there in the song. nice thought, teeger why do i think you are a nice big softy ....God Bless
Teddie, You've out down yourself on solid gold of Waylon's music. What album is this song from? Its a gem...a lot of women have fantasies about hearing words like that! Nice work on the slides too.
Eddie I see you are using a new color for your photos a (different look) Nice choices as usual great tune I can see your a very dedicated fan I am waiting to see you sing another song of Waylons also when you get around to it.........Mela :-)
I had only heard this song as performed by Gary Allan (which is worth checking out), but this version is better.... slower, more feeling, and of course Waylon's vocal which no-one could compete with!
Wow, Just learned today that Gary's version was a cover.. Found out by Gary himself.. Still an awesome original and awesome cover by him.

Now, I love Waylon's music but I really prefer Gary Allan's version of this. Waylon does the song a little too upbeat for my taste.

@haloheart94 are you talking about this song "Her Man," because Waylon Jennings didn't remake, he did it originally in 1990. Gary did a cover.
