I'm not saying this as a slam on George Jones (I love the guy), but his cover of this song doesn't come close. It's almost criminal how little recognition Jamie O'Hara has gotten in the grand scheme of country music.
This guy wa spartners with Kieran Kane in the late 1980's as the O'Kanes. Jaime Ohara wrote a number one hit for the Judds. He is an exeptional writer.
I had this album, until a thief decided to break into my house and steal most of my cds. This one I really miss. I do need to see if I can find a copy. He is awesome.
@MsJomamma He was a High School all star at Ottawa Hills high school, suburb of Toledo Ohio. Went to Indiana University and if memory serves me correctly he damaged a knee on his first kick off return.
If I could hold the man that showed me JanmieO' HarA. Oh if only hold the man that introced me to this... but that can never be. R.I. P. Cary. I will always love you.
What a song and what a album.I saw this cd many years ago in a record shop in Lisbon and I didn´t buy it, how stupid I was, now i´m desperately to discover another one and I can´t find it.Even in the internet it´s impossible to download it, it don´t exist anything of Jamie O´hara, how unfair this world is.
"rise above it"....best album out there....song by song, it seems to get better abd better 1-9.....i can't seem to find a used cd anywhere....i will keep searching...Jamie is very underrated singer, and a great songwriter
My first encounter with Jamie was when he and Kirean kane ( The O'Kanes ) was warming up the audience before a concert with Emmylou and the Nash ramblers in Trondheim Norway many years ago. I remember that eventhough Emmylou was the main attraction that night, Jamie and Kirean also ruled the stage that night. One of my most pleasant memories from any Country artist
I love originals.I always tell my brother who loves george jones version that this is the first and original but he doesn't belive me lol.He aslo wrote grandpa.Loves it!
Thanks you for posting these videos. Come to listen and watch regulary. Discovered Jamie O'Hara last november. I got lucky, and was able to buy this cd. Pity he only did 2 cd's. Waiting for number 3. To me he is one of the best songwriters ever, yet not very known in Europe.
My favorites are -50000 names- cold hard truth- for reasons I've forgotten-
I discovered Jamie while watching a show called 'Legends' hosted by Loretta Lynn several years ago. Since then I've listened to Jamie almost every week, bought his CD's and given them to friends, and praised him endlessly. He is truly one of country's best songwriters of our time. This song, and every other song on the 'Rise Above It' CD were written by the man himself.
Wonderful !!! Tank you !

He's made a mint from George Jones recording his songs. Great writers seldom get the vocal recognitions they deserve.
