By far one of my favorite videos ever. Thank you, Melissa. By the way, I haven't been able to find his album. I'm not much on the computer, but can you ask him to put it on iTunes? Thanks again. Very much enjoyed the video, again...

Ditto -- and love the song, too (still!) The album "Hard Times on Easy Street" was released mostly on vinyl and had very limited production of the CDs -- that's why it often goes for anywhere from $65.00 to (I've seen it as high as) $200 on Amazon.com and ebay for the CD -- less for the vinyl single or LP. But I will pass along your request to DLJ's "people" -- hopefully there won't be any record company issues about putting it on iTunes. Best wishes and thanks for writing and watching!

LOVE,LOVE, LOVE David Lynn Jones. Had "Hard Times on Easy Street" cassette and wore it out. Back in 2005 I contacted someone associated with DLJ and he sent me a CD (bless is very kind heart) and eventually found it on e-bay so that I have 2 CD's that I hopefully won't wear out. I have always been amazed that David isn't more well known than he is. He is a great talent.

David Lynn Jones should have been one of the best voice for country music of that era. I alway enjoyed his songs.

thanks for putting this on here. I know several of the folks in the video, plus the horse the old man was riding. Sorry to say the horse and two of the guys have passed on..

love the song and video

Excellent video, IMO most music videos today (country) are so over done. I get the feeling the artists of today's country are trying to cover the fact that they're not that talented like singers like Waylon, David or George Jones. I'd much rather listen to real singing like this compared to Taylor Swift or Rascal Flatts.
