BROOKS & DUNN (BALLAD OF JERRY JEFF WALKER)

[MrScottmc]

I'm a northeastern city boy snob who shuddered when he heard country until I heard JJW in 1976. I was wrong.He added humour to writing that couldn't be beat by any genre. To JJW and geez,yup,to country !!!

[fishman017]

Nice to hear a song pay tribute to Jerry Jeff, he's a really talented Texas icon, despite the fact that he was born in New York!! Just kidding. Anyway, Jerry Jeff is one of the greats and one of my all-time favorites. I miss the good ol' days of outlaw Texas cow-jazz.

[teenonator]

Mel Brooks & Holly Dunn?

[alienhuman]

@teenonator LOL now that was funny.

[fishman017]

Jerry Jeff is an institution. Great Texas cow jazz.

[skywize]

"...havin more fun than the law allowed!" I love that bit, lol

I'll never forget seeing JJW on July 4, 1982 in Lagrange, TX (yes, that Lagrange). Outdoor concert and hotter than heck. He came out in short and running shoes. Played a great concert.

[joseph2318]

great song

[Mr1962KDSelvis]

Saw JJW at the famous "Cain's Ballroom" in Tulsa,Ok. back in "97 or "98. It was summer and at that time the Cain's still didn't have air-conditioning, so it was HOT HOT HOT but Jerry came on stage, the crowd went wild and he played 3 solid hours with the only breaks being to say a quick comment to the audience or to take a quick drink. He was POURING sweat but never let up. Sounded GREAT and sang everything we wanted. It was awesome.

i listened to 20 seconds and as soon as that asshole opened his mouth i paused it to write how much i already hate it.

[alan4440]

[lclp3]

nds in history singing about another amazing country legend!

[fatbear711]

JJW makes it worthwhile.

[inatizzy2]

I have seen JJW many a time here in Oklahoma...... Is close enough to TX. Been many years but, JJW has always been one of my fav Tx outlaw singers/song writers.

[easygrip]

this is a terrible tribute to jjw even if he is in it. they are still not good enough to open for him judging by the sounds of this song. it was a good attempt at a tribute, but not very good in my opinion. sorry.

[Johnfern99]

I gotta agree with ya on this one!

[probinson1337]

@easygrip if you had ever seen JJW at the old Armadillo World Headquarters you'd know what a great, and accurate, tribute this is.

[kens054]

@probinson1337 I never got to see JJW at AWH, but I did get to go there many times when I was a soldier at Ft. Hood. GREAT bar and concert hall and Beer garden. So sad it was taken down!!!

[cabmaker66]

@kens054 I was also at Ft Head in '76-'77...2nd of the 5th Cav....and one of my "buddies" was a Texan and he took me to AWH and it was everything the rumors said it was....never saw JJW there but saw Willie and Charlie and a few I don't remember (that happened often as we were there 2 or 3 times a month) ...here we are 40 years later...as survivors with stories to tell...

[kenroom]

Thank God JJW survived the 70's and still making great music today.

[watersister]

@kenroom My husband knew JJ back in the day. You have NO idea how close your comment is to the truth!

Jerry, If you happen to read this - dedicate one to Summer of 71, the Rubiyat, 3400 Cole Avenue and A. Wayne Damron! May they all RIP! *winks*

I love youtube, it's always there for me, when I'm too lazy to minimize my web browser and turn my iTunes on :P

[DFWDan]

My question is does the poster of this 'video' know who JJ Walker is?!?!

[jestes12354]

the cocaine cowboy!

[XOkie]

Maybe in the old days. He's still singing those wonderful songs. Come join us in Belize to see how he's doing these days. :)

[blueskiesblue]

Oh, what I wouldn't give to see JJW in Belize ~

"Lord, let me win the lottery so I can prove to You that I can be humble!" ~ ;)

[coleyman1]

Everyone that owns a guitar knows who Jerry Jeff is!! Viva La Luckenbach!!

[coleyman1]

Everybody knows Jerry Jeff!! Don't you think so??

[DFWDan]

Nope. Jerry Jeff plays with guts and soul. Those things have become irrelevant and frankly, unwanted in modern pop country radio

[coleyman1]

You are probably right! I hung around Nashville for about 12 years and it seemed that all they were concerned about was MONEY. Most Texas pickers concern themselves with the MUSIC first! As you say, that as become secondary for most "professionals" in the music BUSINESS.. It's more Business than music these days.. Shame......

[scottz26]

good as song, cnt wait for brooks and dunn 2 come 2 australia again

[probinson1337]

Brooks and Dunn are no more my aussie friend :(

[bobby6900]
