RADNEY FOSTER - JUST CALL ME LONESOME

[dooley7980]

Amindrakesmom: it's Wesley Dennis. He now lives in Montgomery Alabama and owns a karaoke bar called, Wesley's.

[MsLovegeorge]

What a great song .... it came out when I lost the love of my life and I still can't listen to it without a tear. Foster is the one and only voice for this dynamite song.

[Vanillablooos]

THIS was what Country Music was boys and girls. What in the world are y'all listening to now?

[mrsmelissahodges]

I saw him in concert with Andy Childs when I was younger! I wish country was still like this! Not pop!

[Drewcifer145]

Harry Potter sure rocks!

[MsRosene]

@Drewcifer145

LOL funny

[amindrakesmom]

Wow I haven't heard radney foster in a long time.. I use to go concerts when I was a kid he preformed with westley denniss

[dawns31]

I love this video and song too.. In fact I love alot of yours on your favorites list!

[verishusknyd]

This is what country music is all about.

[angryronikisses]

Holy crap I haven't heard this song since I was a little girl!!! Makes me miss Texas and the dirt roads I played on. =) Shit's just not the same. I miss this music.

[amacr549]

now this is REAL country music unlike that new stuff.

[BBTGleeJenny]

Why doesn't he just hitch a ride with the camera man?

[soeryaification]

just call me lonesome

[immabytch1981]

good ol country music gotta love it

[ocularnervosa]

Hey I've been there! And there! And there too!

[kalmanizer]

AWESOME Country Music Song! Back when Country Music ACTUALLY sounded Country. :)

[DaveWollenberg]

Radney's 1st solo hit. Made #10 in Billboard, 11-21-92. God bless!

[hwilli09]

Why is this album out of print? :( thanks for posting the video!

[68superchevy396]

he's got alot of dwight in him if you look close enough! lol

[Agent1W]

@68superchevy396 Yes, and a good bit of Buddy Holly.

[Arkbennett]

He attended my sisters parties and played this song in acoustic.

[pkfireflies]

He is great

[ElvisTCB01]

Awesome country song! Sounds a lot like George Ducas (check out Georges version as well). Too bad country now days seem to be nothing but junk. It used to be that you had to be original, but now everyone sounds the same. We need to bring back Colin Raye, Tracy Byrd, The Mavericks etc...all great!!!!

[dbeavers2000]

Great song, I just learned to play this one, a fun song to do and a good step to it.

The COUNTRY RHYTHM BAND.

[foodandhowtoeat]

Happy Birthday Radney. Thanx for all the great music you have given us through the years.

[tdadjunkman]

Filmed around the Raton NM / Trinidad CO area

[roadrnr64]

@tdadjunkman

isn't that also the Sand Dunes in the back g,round 43, sure looks like it. That would be in the San Louis Valley, Colorado

[Dubmaniac]

@roadrnr64 I'm not sure if it is the Sand Dunes or not, but most of the video looks a LOT like rural Colorado to me! There are plenty of small towns in western CO that look like that little town.

Does anybody have footage of Foster and Lloyd playing in the early nineties on Austin City Limits? I used to have a VHS tape of that set, but I've lost it. If anyone can repost "Crazy over you" from that show, I'd sure appreciate it.They burned ACL to the ground that night!

[deltasig41]

Granted, this is just my opinion based on observation, but it really seems like popular country music began to transition from its roots to pop in the mid-90s, and Shania Twain is an obvious starting point to me. If you want to listen to really good COUNTRY music, check out some underground acts like Chris Knight or Jason Boland. Stuff like that is 100x better than anything on the radio.

[deltasig41]

Country music changed to the poppy crap we hear on the radio now, and IMHO, the transition began with Shania Twain when she released "The Woman in Me" in 1995. "Any Man of Mine" was much more of a "crossover" song than anything that had come out at that point, save for "Achy Breaky Heart" which doesn't even really count because it was just so ridiculous, despite it's massive popularity. Even hugely popular acts like Garth Brooks were still legitimate country acts before Shania came along.

[spf150]

Great video and great song! On a side note and not meaning to take away from the video but anyone notice the old guy randomly popping up?

[catlover75]

@spf150 Now that you mentioned it, I have never noticed him before..I wonder who/and what meaning that had....if any thing at all

[spf150]

This song rocks! I really miss the 'older' country music. Wonder where they filmed the video, Colorado?

[asortiz1]

@spf150 This video was actually filmed in Las Vegas, NM with the exception of those sand dunes...Not quite sure where that is??

[ocularnervosa]

@asortiz1 Actually it's Raton NM and Trinadad Colorado for most of the shots.

[BT3701]

Awesome song. We need more artists like Radney.

[FiremanCody]

cool song

[BulldogOzzy]

@kinicki22 Country isn't "country" anymore, in case people don't get that yet. Radney was awesome, and like someone else said he's got more talent in his pinky finger than most people out there today. That's why Keith Urban and other singers are making hits off songs Radney wrote.

[BT3701]

@BulldogOzzy Excellent point. I couldn't agree more.

[gotitbad4urban]

Love this song too!

[gotitbad4urban]

Love this song too!

[stoogefan1973]

awesome son!!! Great writer!!

[greeneyedlady01]

he is so hot in this <3

[alpha18412]

@greeneyedlady01 You prob'ly got a thing for Mr. Clark Kent as well. How about that little hip swivel move @ 0:30?

[sandra002533]

one of my fave's

[DouglasSteam40]

Just at the end of when country music was really country. They've sure put the pop in country today.

[britterich]

Love it and I just saw he's going to be in town this Friday! WOOHOO!!! I am SO there!!!

[a476716048]

it changed waaayyyy before the millenium.

[jedsmith835]

play that bass

[goldenseal75]

My son's birthdate and my birth year! Yeah Radney

[thenewenglandredneck]

This dude is inspirational. He looks like an absolute nerd, it givesme hope

[chip10289]

@thenewenglandredneck lol well I have met Radney only difference in his apperance now is older and hair is gray, but he is one hell of a nice guy. Probably one of the nicest performers you will ever meet in Nashville. I met him and he talked to me like he had known me all his life. A real class act, and all around good person.

[headpirate4u]

It is an excellent album. First released in 1992, it is still awesome.. There are a bunch of great songs on it including this one. Get a copy if you can.

[kalmanizer]

I thought Vince Gill was the one singing this song when i first heard it. This sounds sooo much like a Vince Gill Country Song in my opinion.

[6silhouette5]

I bought this cd from amazon a few months ago for like $18. Now they've jacked up the price to about $50! I bought it just in time. Great album too.

[dwi55]

One of the my favorite albums of the nineties. I still listen to it today. Del Rio Texas 1959 awsome!

[Deacon21blues]

Hmmm. Perhaps you should learn his name.

[jdd323]

haha

[QCSCOUT]

Randy????????????????

[lpodruchny]

Your aunt is very lucky.

[asanineartist]

@applejcks84 haah ....

[rockstar0943]

i agree it is way to pop now i mean Taylor swift entertainer of the year come on

[Teenywebsta]

thank you...love him

[goldski33]

Best song ever! Never gets old - I'll ever forget hearing it live in Edmonton in 1996.

[DracluFlang78]

The guy in the beginning I think the host, I remember him from a long time ago..

[2005bulldog]

him and dwight yoakam sound alot alike

[Tucko1]

You read my mind.....

[moneyfrompostcards]

I freakin LOVE this song...brings back some special memories for me! BRAVO

[RickySuave]

Radney Foster writes great songs, he also wrote "raining on sunday" and "im in", both made famous by keith urban.

[6silhouette5]

You used to call me you're one and only, but now you only call me someone you once knew. You were my angel before some stranger stole your heart and stole my world when he stole you. BUT YOU WENT OF YOUR OWN WILL.

[vngatter]

Radney is from my hometown, but I would have loved this song anyway!

[BarryManilowFan4eva]

Love this song!!! A classic :)

[romeodus]

Great song . . . back before all country sounded the same. Thanks for posting :)

[loungecruz]

did Bill Hullett play guitar on here?

Sounds great!

[solphilcox]

yes he did! this song was my first introduction to bill, amazing player! amazing singer and song too

[radneysylliboy]

how scary,we have the same names!

[mariedolls]

Super Great Song! Notice it was co-written by George Ducas. George Ducas sings a great song called "Teardrops".

[rdougw]

Sounds exactly like There Goes My Heart by The Mavericks.

[black4966]

@rdougw

Just Call Me Lonesome - 1992; There Goes My Heart - 1994 - who sounds like who?

[themavericks]

@black4966 those are the two best songs ever made in my oppionion

[PaulinaRena]

Radney sure wrote a great song here and I like his voice. This is the very first song I ever heard him sing - this video is one I looked forward to when the Nashville TV station used to play all the signature songs of many artists - those of the 80's and early 90's. It's fun seeing the scenes from the small town here - a great video. Thank you for posting. - Paula

[cobraman96]

He sounds like rodney crowell.

[Dropkickpunk76]

one of the best country songs ever! Hard to top even today!

[themysticknight]

FRIGGIN AWESOME STEPHEN KING MEETS COUNTRY! this guy is pure sauce! rock on!

[generic223]

I wish someone would post Old Silver , even if it's only the audio with the cover art. I freakin love that song and youtube doesnt have it.

[BarryManilowFan4eva]

Love MASTER SERISE.

Love this song, I misss Randey's songs.

[marctrainor]

Just had to re-visit this song on youtube, and "yep", to me, it's still the "real deal". Marc Trainor.

[elreo9999]

90's country de lo bueno,lo mejor

[ChopGaMan]

Great old style country tune & a fine voice. In this video, Radney's face & with his guitar looks like & reminds me of another great singer-Buddy Holly.

[effthausername]

Can I tell you how jealous I am of you, Luv?

[buzzkilla12]

Now the Irish are funny, they'll cry when they have to

And the lady she moaned such a mournful sound

Me and the Mexican just finished the bottle

And remembered the days when Old Silver was around

Yeah remembered the days when Old Silver was around

'Cause Old Silver took the best of it with him

The lovers and the dealers and the dreamers of dreams

And Old Silver took the love of a lady

Who never got over Old Silver and me

Lord she never got over Old Silver and me

[buzzkilla12]

Old silver died last Saturday evenin'

Or was it more like ten years ago

She nailed two dozen roses to the top of his coffin

And buried'em deep where they never would grow

Lord she buried'em deep where they never would grow

[dtrain70]

great song and he has a very good country voice, but no country image. where is the goddam cowboy hat? he looks like a bad elvis costello. why are contemporary country artists trying so hard to disregard the country image??

[chip10289]

I don't think they are, they started calling country contemporary, but like you it sounds different and looks different. I think what you and I like is what they now call country western. The old sound is what I like myself.

[lsfan1]

This is a great video by an incredible talent in country music. If you want to hear more songs like this, check out videos for George Ducas... he wrote Just Call Me Lonesome and has some of his songs posted on here.

[nlcloud]

the Derrick Motel is in Trinadad Colorado, just as you cross the boarder from NM. The rest of the video looks like LV, NM and Wagon Mound. Memories of where I grew up too!

[veronsed]

hey i think he is great, you know that little hill behind him on the part of the video where he is trying to get a ride. that hill behind him is the Wagon Mound hill i grew up there. the rest of the videolooks like it was filmed in Las Vegas New Mexico. i think thats really cool.

[countrysamurai]

Damn Radney is talented! This is the song that got me interested in him...and I am a lover of Hard Rock and Jazz!

If Country could be considered a drug...then this song was the gateway drug for me!!!

Isn't this what Country is supposed to be???

[stevbenson]

if country music were a drug i'd have some kind of cancer already.

[lisadoidge]

that's a great line

[hysterman187]

this has always been one of my favorite country songs. I think you could have plugged this one in during any era of country music and had a hit with it.

[stevbenson]

i agree. but with any of his songs that could happen

[evhead1956]

Radney is what country music should be. He is the most talented, gifted and unrecognized artist in country music. Love this song!

[effthausername]

Last I checked, he's making a rather nice living writing and producing, but I wish he'd get more press for his latest album. That man can put it down, I tell you.

[effthausername]

This is the song that got me started on Radney. Damn, I wish they wrote country songs like this instead of the pop crap they put out today.

[CanadianFamily]

You aren't the only one! The so-called country groups that are being featured on the radio and Grand Ole Opry today are nothing more than "has been" aging rockers who can't accept that they have little in the way of talent and even less when it comes to musical ability.

The real joke is when the record labels start whining about plummeting sales and blame the kids and peer to peer copying for the drop in their sales rather than accepting the fact that people aren't going to buy junk.

[themavericks]

you got that shit straight

[marctrainor777]

Hey, I think this guy is the Buddy Holly of country music. I love it.  Keep it up, and keep playin that REAL COUNTRY MUSIC, not the fake stuff. Marc Trainor.

[CrescentMoonglow]

I don't know if you already know this, but Radney has cited Buddy as an influence. :)

[marctrainor777]

Other than Allan Jackson, "some" Vince Gill, and most Dwight Yokum songs, these guys, to me, we're the only hope for "real" country music these days. What ever happend to them? Love this song to death. Take a lesson, Nashville! Marc Trainor.

[66KAJA66]

waylon...#1

[marctrainor777]

Yea, I forgot about Waylon. I like him too, and he actually played bass for Buddy Holly towards the end. Lucky he didn't take that plane ride. God Bless Waylon! Marc.

[lizziewig]

Glad to see that someone else thought he was somewhat like Dwight Yokum.I think it may how the guitar is tuned and the key he plays and sings in.I think he was the cutest thing as well.Something about Country GQ.

[CrescentMoonglow]

That hair of his is something, too, I tell you...When I saw him in a small venue outside Portland, OR, he came off the stage & came right to me to dance with him! I was like a deer in the headlights! lol...He had to dance with another gal, but I did get a really good look at him & he held my hands for a second. Bliss was the word. Or euphoria! It was a great night. He & his band are down-to-earth guys that I could have gone to have drinks with if I didn't have a wet blanket friend with me!

[54spiritedwill54]

Love Radney and i love this song! :P great singer

[xxlonestarxchickxx]

radney is a personal favorite of mine, i grew up on this and his other music as well.

[langarth]

America's answer to Charlie Major. Very similar styles, so nice to listen to.

[themavericks]

does anybody have a video of radney doing this song on the grand ol opry

[goldenseal75]

I'm not a big county fan but this is a great song. From 012859

[georgiegirl1]

Great songwriter and singer. Keep the glasses and no hat look.

[Fstedi6]

I'm not a big country music fan, I'm actually into 80's hair bands, but this song is aewsome. I play it over and over. I remember when this song came out and watching it on MTV back in the day.

[polychronopolous]

Del Rio, Texas!!! Don't get more Texan than that, folks.

[Heath328]

Great song. I always loved this one because it sounds like authentic country music -- not the usual cookie-cutter stuff played to death on country radio. It says what it wants to say the way that Dwight Yoakam songs do, with a solid beat for good measure.

[dwi55]

Good ole Texas boy. Great songwriter has a bucket full of hits.. as for the one hit wonder comment, do some research before you show you ignorance.

[ericdavidcarpenter]

Del Rio Texas, 1959! This album by Radney is still one of my most played CD's in my collection.  Great tune!

[folsom37]

Radney is fantastic, good ole country music.

[ChelseaxHorror]

I think he is so cute. I love his glasses. he's so adorable. :P I wanna eat him right up!

[wramko]

mikmaganimal, you obviosly aren't in the bis. Radney is a super weight in Nashville as a songwriter and publisher. He has only seen limited success as an artist but has written many hits for other people over the years.

[CrescentMoonglow]

Like many that are incredibly talented, he is blocked from the mainstream with his performing. There are so many politics with radio and promotion...It really is too bad, but we know he is phenomenal! Can't keep him down...and I think he does it "his way".

One of his songs that I remember hearing on the radio several years back was "Raining on Sunday" by Keith Urban. I know that there have been many that he has written expressly for other artists, but that is one he has also recorded.

[librawm]

He Looks beautiful to me! Sings beautiful...needs no hat! What glasses?

[BarryManilowFan4eva]

Love Radney!

Love this song!

[mikmaqanimal]

you got somethin' there, man. these lines are only suggestions, i've never heard the music:

honey, i just tipped toed through your front door,

gas up your mercedes and leave my pick up at the bar,

honey, take off your sexy clothes,

i'll take you places you've never been before.

maybe there's something more to be said in the third stanza. a little smoother transition about how you got from point A to point B. good luck!

[buckwheat39]

yea man that's honky tonk now i got smething here man i am writing or trying to write like gary stewart : now honey i just tipped toed, right on through ,your front door, gas up your mercedes benz, and leave my ole pick up at th bar, honey i'll thake you to places you never been before, take off your sexy clothes tat you wore.......// i need some help writing man hehehehehehe

[polychronopolous]

WHAT!? One hit wonder? have you heard the song "Nobody wins"? In my opinion that is one of the best written country songs ever. He has at least 5 very well known songs, and a pretty big following in Texas. Just because a guy doesn't make cheesy songs like Toby Keith just to get a "hit"....

[buckbuck666]

so this guy joins the one hit wonders?seems quite talented

[jpolk83]

yup, just call me "lonesome".

[carolay65]

Radney keep the glasses! You are handsome and this song is AWESOME!!! I've seen Radney perform this live many. many times. Always a crowd pleaser!

[hushibird]

Saw Radney in concert at the Choctaw festival a few yrs ago, he put on a wonderful show. Keep your glasses Radney, they reflect your personality, the best looking nerd I have seen in yrs.

[hushibird]

Keep the glasses Radney, it fits your personality. You are the best looking nerd I have seen in a long time, love your song and video.I lucked out and got to see Radney in concert at the Choctaw Festival, excellent show, the people loved him!

[HallieBee]

LOVE THIS VIDEO! THANKS FOR POSTING!

[01ltlb7]

Doesnt look the part...loose the glasses for a hat, Rodney!

[jlaleknas]

His name is Radney, not Rodney. He wears glasses and no hat and has/hasn't for more than 20 years. We like it that way!
