@slydogmania Nice Comments. Mickey is a sadly overlooked genius from the 60's. His songs were hits for others, but I never heard anyone perform a Newbury song better than Mickey himself.

yeeee....i dont really like this kind of song but this man sang it with deep good..

@bothway91 Thanks for the new insights with your comment. What is "deep good??"...

[Elv1s4ever]

This man arranged the best song of all time, both Elvis & Mickey's version are genius

Mickey's "American Trilogy" came first of course, and was the best--with that "Nashharmonic" backing. Elvis did nothing new with it at all--except give Mickey more recognition out there. Then, he got help from Waylon's plug in "Luchenbach Texas"

One of the finest country songs ever written by one of the most overlooked singer-songwriters in American music. Newbury had three times more talent than any cookie-cutter clown on the country charts today and yet he is literally unknown to most music fans today. Glad to find him on youtube.

Jerry Lee Lewis had a great hit with this song in 1969, but Newbury sings it as well any anyone, including the great Ronnie Milsap who had an obscure recording of this song as well.

One of the best songs by one of my main influences as a songwriter. He literally raised the bar for me as a writer... John Fowler

And the rest of us call ourselves "song writers" HA!

Jerry Lee Lewis did the ultimate version of this great song.

Flora Bama Lounge, Frank Brown Songwriters, drinks remained on the tables, unable to move, frozen like an insect in an amber , Mickey's words, and beautiful voice had grown men, dripping tears down their faces, sharing common remembrance of a lost love, each of us floating with the rhythm, riding on beautiful vocals with angelic whistling, we each looked inside, found a piece of our self we had forgotten, picked up our glass and took another drink between before the next song began.

Waylon and Willie always liked Newbury's train songs.
