One of the best duets I've ever heard, beautiful song, beautiful music,flawless rendition, perfect harmony, any singer who chooses Alison Krauss to sing a duet with makes the best decision ever,can't stop listening to them, play it over and over again
I know this was seven years ago but i felt like I was right there in the room with them. I dont think I've ever heard a more beautiful rendition and perfect harmony.
If I weren't much of a singer - and I'm not - I would ALWAYS want Alison Kraus next to me. Her stunningly beautiful and pure voice would make Bob Dylan sound great.
Every now and then a song makes the singer rather than the singer making the song. This is one of those songs. Hank Cochran, Timi Yuro, Eddy Arnold, Willie Nelson all produced individualistic versions, all beautiful.
alison krauss's vocal is sensational!!! had me crying...........i'm and old guy didn't know of jamey johnson....his vocal is also very impressive . very sensitive, heartfelt interpretation. This overall performance is off the charts!!!!! Just fantastic. if a young person wants to know what REAL country is, show them this video!!!!!!
Love Alison she is just the best. Jamey harkens back to the days of George Jones, Merle and Waylon. When Country music was country not the latest version of pop. Awesome.
just a little more comment: eddy arnold's version was a great classic. that's what brought me to this video . i like to see different interpretations of great songs. this just blew me away. they transform this song from a great heartbreaker into something way above that......this one doesn't BREAK your heart, it RIPS it right out!!!! WOW!
I agree @reddragonready_ Anything with Alison Krauss is fantastic such an angel voice, she is such a Superstar! Jamey made a very smart move here..he's no dummy..
My Granny and Papaw were Eddy Arnold listeners and had his cassette tapes in their old delta 88.......this song, so beautifully done, by Mrs. Krauss and Mr. Johnson, reminds me of them.
Now, dont everybody jump on me at once! This is very beautiful, however, I still love Elvis' version best. Especially, when he strains saying, "Get it off, get it off, my shoulders," I just start to bawl in that part... it makes me think he probably really felt like the world was on his shoulders at times. Anyway, saw this & had to listen. Beautiful song, beautiful voice! Really pretty & very good job. Ty for sharing! Oh! Almost forgot, Eddie Arnold, love him too!! 👍
I'm with you actually...when it comes to Jamey. I uploaded this because of Alison whose voice in beauty is up there with the likes of Elvis imo. But Jamey..he sucks all energy out of me within two bars of any tune.
Allison is smart and chooses her projects with sound instincts..Jamey is a good choice and so was Robert Plant..she knows intuitively what works. I'm a devoted fan.
I couldn't agree more with you. Having a great voice is not all it takes to be a great CW singer/balladeer. Heck, lots of the CW greats didn't have "great" voices, but they sure had something that made me love listening to their songs over and over and over. I think it has something to do with their twang, their soul, their emotion, and their honesty.
Can't say I agree with you. I am very happy Jamey asked her to join him on this song and that he had the good sense to basically have her be the lead. A strange thing to say "never ding a duet with Alison". Since there are so many great duets with her around.Especially if you aren't all that great a singer yourself in fact, Alison is your girl because her attribution always lifts a song to a higher level.
Hank Cochran was in race studios on July 2 1964 when Jim Reeves records his song as a favor since Hank was going thru a divorce. It was done one on the fly with two takes. . Released after Jim's death.
Hippie dude sounds kick ass when he started singing and didn’t she sing with Robert Plant years back? My parents used to play this song when I was a little kid..way cool 👍🏻
He isn't a hippie and Alison actually just dropped another album with Robert Plant. Getting good reviews. Check it out! It's called Raise the Roof. ( First album with Robert Plant was called Raising Sand and got 6 grammys btw)
Hi ya RedDragon, just wanted to let you know that I had to start over on this new channel. Reposting stuff will take a little time but I've already added some things (in both Alison playlists) that the old channel didn't have. Thanks for your kind messages. It means a lot!
Richard you must be deaf if you dont like jameys voice you could always listen to country radio they certainly have no talent, cant imagine how you could not like this performancy
I don't know about Richard but I'd say though the timbre of Jamey's voice is pleasant, he simply is not a great singer. There is more to great singing than just having a pleasing voice.
Alison Krauss, wow. She is a National Treasure.
I simply melt when I hear Alison sing. I only wish she would see this comment. She is so beautiful
One of the best duets I've ever heard, beautiful song, beautiful music,flawless rendition, perfect harmony, any singer who chooses Alison Krauss to sing a duet with makes the best decision ever,can't stop listening to them, play it over and over again
It's beautiful isn't it .Have you heard their version of Seven Spanish Angels ? I'm going cold thinking about it.
Alisons voice is sheer vocal perfection here
When I hear Alison sing, I think of Angels.
What an amazing rendition of a timeless love song.
One of my favourite songs of my teens years. Done to perfection by Alison and Jamey.
I know this was seven years ago but i felt like I was right there in the room with them. I dont think I've ever heard a more beautiful rendition and perfect harmony.

This song just popped into my head tonight & I'm 65yrs old so I was only a Baby back when it came out originally!!! Xoxoxoxox from Kentucky
She sings like I imagine an angel would. This combination is just perfect...........purr, purr....
This is now my favorite version of the song...soooo perfect 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
I love the way Alison holds onto the note until just the right moment.
Every now and then a song makes the singer rather than the singer making the song. This is one of those songs. Hank Cochran, Timi Yuro, Eddy Arnold, Willie Nelson all produced individualistic versions, all beautiful.
AND So did Elvis!!!❤
This my favorite version of this song. Love it
Same for me
What a killer voice that JJ has..!!
Two beautiful voices one beautiful song
Wow! Such beautiful harmony
Their voices blend so perfectly during the chorus'. Amazing song/album/artists.
alison krauss's vocal is sensational!!! had me crying...........i'm and old guy didn't know of jamey johnson....his vocal is also very impressive . very sensitive, heartfelt interpretation. This overall performance is off the charts!!!!! Just fantastic. if a young person wants to know what REAL country is, show them this video!!!!!!
Two of my favorite singers, Jamey Johnson's music is forever in my collection of music as is Alison's angel voice.
Beautiful duet! I could listen to this over and over!
Great song originally done by the great Eddie Arnold. Allison could sing the phone book backwards and still sound amazing!
these two together, are just amazing. perfect harmony
Who says they don't sing them like they used to?❤
wow ..just found this gem .. love it
My dad used to play that song. Eddie Arnold singing that, back then great song
Still is a great song.
very nice rendition of this beautiful song.Has a good feel to it.
Great job by two great singers.
Love Alison she is just the best. Jamey harkens back to the days of George Jones, Merle and Waylon. When Country music was country not the latest version of pop. Awesome.
There are still a few traditional style artists.
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST. SHE SINGS WITH FEELING.
Like talented Alison for a long time. Like Jamey too. This song is a favorite of mine for reasons other then couple problems. Thanks for sharing. 🎶❤️
This is a great version of this beautiful song. Another fantastic cover from these guys is Seven Spanish Angels.
just a little more comment: eddy arnold's version was a great classic. that's what brought me to this video . i like to see different interpretations of great songs. this just blew me away. they transform this song from a great heartbreaker into something way above that......this one doesn't BREAK your heart, it RIPS it right out!!!! WOW!
tony Geisen Elvis did a great version of it too
The best version iv ever heard
Alison Krauss and Jamie Johnson just so perfect together
Alison ... it was just beautiful.
Beautiful......
I lost the love of my life. How do I go on without him
Awwww, so sorry about your loss dear, my deep and sincere condolences, how have you been?
I'm still praying for a second album from Robert Plant and Alison Krauss!
Wow. That was beautiful
Love It Absolutely Beautiful
Beautiful.
I agree @reddragonready_
Anything with Alison Krauss is fantastic such an angel voice, she is such a Superstar! Jamey made a very smart move here..he's no dummy..
Unmatched.. this is country.
One of my Mother's favorite song love it I miss her so much 😇😇😇😇
Memories, they make you smile then cry. Thinking of Eddie Arnold when I hear this song.
My Granny and Papaw were Eddy Arnold listeners and had his cassette tapes in their old delta 88.......this song, so beautifully done, by Mrs. Krauss and Mr. Johnson, reminds me of them.
Oh, wow this song😍
Wow, lovely duet!
just bloody awsome great talent indeed and a'great ole classic tune also.
Now, dont everybody jump on me at once! This is very beautiful, however, I still love Elvis' version best. Especially, when he strains saying, "Get it off, get it off, my shoulders," I just start to bawl in that part... it makes me think he probably really felt like the world was on his shoulders at times.

Agree 100%❤❤❤❤
Great song
Beautiful
Love both of these artists! Beautiful...
Goosebumps abound!

Awesomness
Bellissima canzone, per una coppia meravigliosa! 😊🥰👩❤️💋👨🤩😍😘😘🎶🎸🎶💘❤️💯💯💋💋

Wow they are super talented.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
A perfect mix
Beautiful ❤❤
Just wonderful!
Flawless in every wat!
those two really complement each other
Personally I much prefer her work with Robert Plant.
lovely
Stay here with me...we'll make ourselves laugh always
This is a good version, check out Raul Malo's version (very old video) and of course, Eddy Arnold's version.
perfection
Smiles, hello Stacey

Thanks to everyone who commented on what I said. I enjoyed reading your viewpoints.
❤❤
Jamey might fill their shoes
brava...brava...
You are listening to the best version of this song.
Hi ya RedDragon, just wanted to let you know that I had to start over on this new channel. Reposting stuff will take a little time but I've already added some things (in both Alison playlists) that the old channel didn't have. Thanks for your kind messages. It means a lot!
Thanks for the heads up! I've subscribed. :-)
@@reddragonready Appreciate it!

Grew up on this!
💔💔💔💔💔
Nice that Letterman acknowledged a legend. Twice.
❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹
Wooow 🩷🩷🩷🩷🎶🎶🎶🎶
Though I totally agree with your sentiments...I was really referring to technical ability. :)
Umh Umh the singin and pickin.
That seems to be true respect wise but a great singer he is not alas.
Love Alison, who's the hippie?
Hahahaha "hippies" generally do not drop out of college and join the marines. For more on Jamey...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamey_Johnson
I would leave my wife for Alison. Really I would
Eddie Arnold?
Yes Eddie Arnold sing this, so did Jim Reeves, so did a whole bunch of other people
Richard you must be deaf if you dont like jameys voice you could always listen to country radio they certainly have no talent, cant imagine how you could not like this performancy
LOL Than this must definitely not be your song.I suggest checking out Tom Waits though. :)
I don't know about Richard but I'd say though the timbre of Jamey's voice is pleasant, he simply is not a great singer. There is more to great singing than just having a pleasing voice.
Never sing a duet with Alison Krauss, especially if you aren't much of a singer.
Alison Krauss is one of those singer who are totally uninteresting. To me, that is. I prefer Jamey Johnson's rough voice.
Beautiful.
