My late dad introduced me to the Country Gentlemen sound - Charlie Waller and John Duffy's creation. This is my all-time favorite bluegrass video! Ronnie Reno captured magic!
I really like Big Piney's version of this! Nobody else had uploaded it to Youtube yet, so I did. It's on my channel. I'll tell ya what, it don't get much better than this!
I agree goosebumps and shivers, one of the best voices in bluegrass ever, I was lucky enough to see this band configuration. Thanks to everone posting these videos
I was lucky enough to see him perform not long before he passed. It was amazing to say the least. He had a long line at his table for autographs and he stayed there almost til his next set to be sure everyone got to meet him.
I combed the internet for many hours to try to figure out who is playing with Country Gentlemen in this video.. I have it almost all figured out. We all know Charlie Waller on guitar and lead vocals, that is Jimmy Bowen on mandolin and tenor vocals and finally Greg Corbett is playing the banjo. I have no idea who is playing bass though, I can't find any reference to him anywhere. What a great song this is!!

I have no idea who is playing the upright bass though.... this is a great song and a great version of it!!
charlie was an amazing talent, too bad mainstream listeners never got to enjoy his voice. he will remain a legend in our minds, DESERVINGLY SO but relatively unknown to the masses..
My god, this is even better than the original on the "The Traveler & Other Favorites" LP. Almost thirty years later, and Waller's voice is even more powerful. Gives me shivers.
Charlie Waller is/was without doubt the best, truly inspirational. Too bad alot of the old gems are so hard to find. Amazing footage! Thanks alot for this!
Thats right. His voice never weakened even though his health wasn't the best in the last 4 or so years of his life. He was always a favorite of mine and I still like listening to him.
cant agree. Charlie himself may sound better, but the driving Banjo on the original, John Duffy singing with Charlie, WOW, that is AMAZING, and it was recorded with equipment that was useless compared to that used in this version.
Yeah, another addition to the amazing collection of songs that this Group has put together over the years.. Charlie's Voice....Well, I am sure You all know....
kepp on goin CG ur the best and you know it.....
