@xJNPSxJunior there's another famous song called "The Rare Old Mountain Dew" written in 1916, also about moonshine. The Pepsi version of the soda wasn't invented until the 1940's, and was originally marketed as "zero proof moonshine" and was sometimes called hillbilly piss... (source William Jones on Amazon's Askville site).
Grandpa Jones has a great version of this on the banjo but god help us if you didn't know Ray Charles that you have a chance of knowing Grandpa Jones....LOL
Such a shame that Ray had to use a Fender Rhodes here - nice sound but too slow a response for soloing. Not quite the real thing. Unlike the Holy Brotherhood of MUSIC....the Church where human beings can come together as true equals, Black, White, Yellow, Red, Brown, Green or Blue! Superstar or Beginner, Rich or Poor, Islam, Buddhist, Christian, Atheist or whatever.....from the guy who just picked up a guitar for the first time to Mozart - we are all just learning!! Nobody is perfect!
2:38 I am not shure, but looks like Shania Twain. If you watch the clip she sings together with Willie Nelson "blue eyes crying in the rain" you know what I mean ;-)
Are they any exact lyrics to this ? ! ? ! I just had to play the song over and over again writing the lyrics and then this song has different lyrics in a different order >.<
@xJakexIzaardyx idiot that is Ray Charles one of Wille's dearest friends as well..maybe look up a song or two from Ray Charles and learn something about music loser
@xJakexIzaardyx ray added an extra dimension to the song, nothing wrong in that, music should be allowed a little room for being played with, this was cool... so if you've shut up yer mug I'll give you a jug of that good ole mountain dew :D
i think the "black guy" was high as a kite. I hope like hell that nobody really ask who the black guy was. ROFL.

The performance is excellent, the video sucks big time. If I want to see advertising and product placement I'll watch "Desperate Housewives."
