    I've never judged a musician by their album. That's studio magic(most of the time) Always listen to them live and you'll know what I mean. These guys still got it! They just belong performing together.

  • @marybrickle9116
    @marybrickle9116 5 років тому +10

    the best country music group ever. I grew up on these guys. They were a constant thing in my house growing up. I remember my mama just randomly singing their songs while she was cooking or cleaning. god I'd give anything to go back to that. Marty rabon is one of the most under rated country singers their ever was. He didn't get nowhere near the credit he deserved. Truly an amazing voice

    I’ve always loved this song even as a kid.. I’m older now and lived a wonderful life but it’s normal to wonder about some choices made.. That’s why I love the line “Would I only trade regrets”.. That’s the true beauty of this song

      @timmy38583 3 роки тому

    Gee whiz....it just doesn't get better than this. Marty Raybon is what Country used to be when it was the real thing. Add Keith Whitley too. Both from Bluegrass. Not from The Voice or American Idol. Goose bumps all over both arms!!!

    Absolutely beautiful song like so many other songs from Shenandoah Marty Raybon voice is one of the greatest out there. But I believe everything in life happens for a reason.
