the "backwards" guitar riff at the beginning was played by no other than Glen Campbell...who was, just before this time well known as one of the top session guitarists at the time....
@mrmjb1960 While Mickey Newbury did write this, he did not write Ruby, Mel Tillis did and another man had a hit with it the same year Just dropped in (1967) was a hit. The First Edition didn't record Ruby until 1969. Either way both are still really great songs.
@kingstara1 I do know "Ruby" was on two Lp's,The Self-Titled Debut Lp,and "Ruby",the follow-up Lp,according to liners of a Sampler Lp I'd had called "The Greatest Hits,Vol. 1"..I dunno if Warners made a "Follow-Up" to this Lp,however!
Man this takes me back.They were a hippy band back then.This was a real stoner song....lol.Yes we called people who smoked weed back then stoners....ha ha ha .
everyone beats up kenny and band, for this clasic, one way or another,but i still crank this tune anytime of day.night....fuck the drugs its a clasic,wheres the bar
Ah, the days when chromakey was keyed to blue, instead of green as it is today. Green would be a most righteous color for Kenny Rogers as he was first and foremost about making green. His songs at least in the realm of rock were quite formulaic.
Had no clue about Kenny Rogers Chicken, they were no where to be found in the midwest. Shades of Eugene Crabs!
Last observation: do not let Kenny do brain surgery. First he has it in a paper bag then proceeds to rip, break and otherwise mutilate...
Saturday, Donny, is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don't work, I don't drive a car, I don't fucking ride in a car, I don't handle money, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as shit *don't fucking roll*!!!!
It's a pity it takes a successful movie to bring great, classic songs like this one back to people's attention. (Don't get me wrong, "The Big Lebowski" is a great film. My comment is really just a generalization on how much it sucks that great music goes out of style as quickly as it does!)
Okay, now this is something you don't really see a lot these day...a song that pretty much comes right out and says, "hey! I'm really, REALLY fucking high...deal with it!"
I was just at a Kenny Rogers concert, and he was laughing about this hit song of his...he has such a great sense of humor...it was kinda funny hearing him do the words now that he is about 70!!! Suzi
was he throwing money to anyone? We saw him in Wisconsin Dells last Aug and he gave a guy in the front row a ten dollar bill for every song that he knew of his and then at the end after throwing him a autographed t-shirt, "now don't go blow that money on a Garth Brooks Album"
@RManFlint haha you daft cunt, your too dumb to even understand he's quoting lines from the big lebowski, which i'll have you know is an awesome film. I can already tell you're a fucking sad stuck up loser who has to put other things down in order to make your own shitty life seem better. peace out. twat.
@RManFlint the fact your completely changing the subject with racist stereotypes and tiny grammar mistakes ive made just proves it. you're correcting tiny grammar mistakes, which is stuck up, you're putting my country down even though where im from is completely irrelevant to try and make yourself feel better, and your such a sad sack of shit you cant actually respond to my real comment because you know im right, so you try and change the subject.
I first heard and fell in love with this song when I was 13 years old before I knew anything about drugs. But after all I still love this song today. It's hard to believe that this is the same Kenny Rogers who sang The Gambler. As my mom would say, "God love em." Peace.
didnt know this was kenny. ive heard the song before the big lebowski and always liked it but i i really got hooked on it from watching the movie. was glad to find gutterballs on you tube. who were the guys in the 1st edition?
damn, that whole band looks like they are on LSD... perfect for the song
