Buddy Rich was a fantastic drummer. I don't think he claimed to be a songwriter. He was not the pleasantest of people.

Somebody asked if we are the original artists. The answer is "Yes."

This is a live television show, and live TV shows don't sound like your grandmother's 45 rpm record. The original record, by us, is somewhere on this page.

I still remember this but can anyone remember when this came out? I think early to mid 70's.

[jackandmisty]

@bama3417 It came oit in 1970.

Actually, I thought Buddy Rich was a phenomenal drummer. He seemed to have an abrasive personality, and I just thought he deserved a shot back for what he said.

Great song! I think that Buddy Rich was a no-talent hack who was afraid of Country Music because it was a lot better than anything he did.

Awesome! I have not heard this song for a long time.... but for some reason, it was stuck in my head this morning. So glad for YouTube that you can go and find things like this. It's a great song. Thanks for posting!

@jackandmisty Love this video and love the song.It reminds me of childhood.I wasn't a big country music fan at the time,but I hung out with someone who was.The radio was always on the local country station at his house.I can vividly remember hearing this song there as we did what we did.Thank you for being part of the soundtrack of my life.Hope you and Misty are well.

Greetings from Australia, Jack and Misty - I have not heard this one for years! A hit out here though, remember the kids in the schoolyard singing it even. Thank you for posting this.

@jackandmisty My friend Lisa played this for me years ago! Still enjoyable.

I've heard Rich blessing out his band and it could definitely peel paint, however, I read that even though he rode his band he actually didn't fire as many members as the tapes would imply. Paul Anka comes off almost as nasty, but he does say at the end that he wants his band to be as engaged and committed to the music as he is.

@jackandmisty I do recall that Buddy Rich said that country music was "junk" or something like that. Later I read that he'd mercilessly berate even his backup musicians. There've been a few dogs on the country charts, but there is great treasure in many country records' musicianship, storytelling and tunes. Just the material written by Hank Williams Sr. is classic and stands the test of time. As for Buddy Rich, I can't name one tune he wrote. He was a lightning fast drummer, epitaph.

I recently bought an old 1966 Magnagox stereo - and have been playing my old 45's. I never get tired

of listening to the 'Tennessee Bird Walk'. ...brings back a lot of memories! I am so glad that I kept all of

my old records........as I had forgotten about that particular song! ;-)
