I can't believe that this band didn't get more recognition than they did, tight band and great shows live, Russell Smith has the most distinctive voice I've ever heard, their songs can't be covered without thinking about him, rip rus Smith
This live performance was stellar. The Band was Tight. Every note played by all in the band blended together. The Tone and lead Byrd Burton pulled off with that Les-Paul here was perfection. RIP Boys🇺🇸
You can’t go wrong with a song from this band. Their first four albums are what Americana music is to the world -love,location and humor…..play on Amazing Rhythm Aces. ☮️🎶🔛🌎
When the guitar solo on this song starts on "Too Stuffed to Jump",, it will bring tears of joy to your eyes. This is one of the best Southern Rock bands of all time and the guitar solo is up there with Aqualung.
Great, GREAT TUNE .....solo .....and of course Russell Smith' voice. Got to see the Aces just once .....great time, even got to meet the band. This song is a great cruising song, make a lot of miles down the road with this one driving you on !!! RIP Russell ....and thanks !!!!
All this running town to town. Brings me back Home. Trying to keep up with everything. Turns sad when you think of where you come from. So, I guess you knew it all along. Guess her memories are here to stay. Hooray.
They had a good number of hits in the 80’s, Russel Smith also wrote many hits for other artists. They had a real career and continued until Smiths death, so far from a Flash-in-the-pan.
Man I was about 15 years old playing music daily with my uncle & his old buddy’s when driving home one night my uncle played me maybe there greatest hits album & hearing Russell’s voice was one of the best things I had stumbled across musically at that young age !! It was very similar to when I heard Levon Helm for the first time , there’s just nothing like that kind of singer…. & The Amazing rhythm Aces what a cool friggin name & Holds True!!!! Just a Great Band all the way around!! Now I’m 40 in 2022 & yes there are good bands still playing but there NOT THAT !!!
I knew Byrd when I lived in Nashville. He was one of the sweetest guys you would ever know. And as a musician, he was one of the few locals that gave a Yankee like me the time of day.
Nice to know he was like that. He didn’t project like a guy with a big ego. Man I love his style of guitar playing and his tone on this and Dancing the Night Away especially. Cheers!
cool comment- dave- i was a yankee, corporate type straight out of college and barry and janis lived across the street from me. Very nice, friendly-we had a lot of fun
@@razorsharpe3371 You're absolutely right, there wasn't an ounce of ego in Byrd. The first time I met him was at a small custom session. I was the leader/rhythm guitarist on the session...... and imagine my surprise when Byrd shows up to play pedal steel. I had written the charts the night before from tapes that had been provided by the "artist". One of the slow songs was in 5/4, a thing you hardly see in rock let alone country. But it worked, and after all it was the artists song, so I wrote the chart as is. So the time comes around to do the song, I hand out the charts, Byrd looks at the chart, looks at me and says, "5/4?". Can't believe I'm doing a session with Byrd Burton. I say, "yep". He replies, "you have a tape?". I say, "yep". So we listen to a bit of the tape and all sudden Byrd says, "Well I'll be a son of a bitch! I've been playing all my life and I never ever recorded a country song in 5/4!!!" By the way, do you play fiddle? I used to know of a fiddle player named razor sharpe.... I think. God it was long ago....
Larry and to all who can add to this library of this band- Thank You. My mind may be failing me but I seem to remember that all of the masters of their recordings were burned up in a fire. Check your vinyl and cassettes and keep 'em coming. And thanx!
I didn't know Russell was gone, but you are correct . Remember "third rate romance " being played on the radio when it was new. A mixed bag on the radio then with hard rock, novelty songs , and things like this, which was great. Now ---- junk. An obscure band along with "Asleep at the wheel " which was also great.
Saw them in the late 70's in New Zealand opening for Leon Russell...as close to perfection as I can ever imagine. Cool to find they reformed nearly 20 years later in part because of a steady stream of support from NZ and Aust
We turned up in a tiny town in southern new south wales called Tathra in a fabulous pub overlooking the ocean and to our absolutely stunned surprise here were these guys playing. Just fantastic. I always remember a comment someone yelled out "You look better without your glasses on Russell" and he replied quick as a whip, "You look better without my glasses on"
Arlo West has a great cover of this song, stating he would come home from school to hear his mom playing this song by ARA cranked up on their old stereo, and he became instantly hooked. And had been playing this ever since he first heard it. Its a great tribute to a great song.
@@johndeschenes8369 as a military brat, 10 states, and 3 foreign countries were my homes growing up. Never lived in Maine, been there to ski, beautiful, and a little too cold for me.
Maybe my all time favorite band. They were so versatile. The could play rock and roll, straight country, country rock, southern rock, old time gospel and even a little jazz. No better writer than Russell Smith.
One of my most favorite songs of all times. I remember when this come out. I would be driving my my old GTO. I WOULD KICK IT IN THE ASS that needle pointing straight down on a flat west Texas road.
Another fine song by Burton some years before he wrote the beautiful "Gulf Coast Highway" with Nanci. I hope Russell is in great short musicians heaven with Steve Goodman, who of course wrote the country masterpiece "You Never Even Called Me By My Name."
So smooth, great song writers. Just realised they were in Australia in 2011 and I didnt know! Look at all the hair. Ive just replace my Too Stuffed to Jump CD from to much playing.
One of them songs you don’t want to stop and just want guitarist Barry Burton to keep playing that thing out cause it’s a gem of a song and Russell Smith could write some good ones too 3:56
Possibly the most underrated, and under appreciated band of their time.
I was going to post the same thing until I saw you had already posted it. They were an outstanding band.
That is the absolute truth!!
Swallowed by an era of genius love em
Not in my opinion.
Too stuffed to jump,one brilliant song after another.
I can't believe that this band didn't get more recognition than they did, tight band and great shows live, Russell Smith has the most distinctive voice I've ever heard, their songs can't be covered without thinking about him, rip rus Smith
Thank God they didn’t. Otherwise it would be a Tik Tok remix now. Shhhhh don’t tell anyone else about them ;)
2024 and the end is still not in sight ... RIP Russell Smith, we'll see you on the other side!
I recently rediscovered this gem. Now I can't stop listening to it!
Yes, I'm hooked with this song!!!!!
Heavenly bliss! This is one of these songs which I can't stop listening to!
This live performance was stellar. The Band was Tight. Every note played by all in the band blended together. The Tone and lead Byrd Burton pulled off with that Les-Paul here was perfection. RIP Boys🇺🇸
This band is aways a sweet southern satisfying ride.( and live makes my heart jump)
This is exactly what the world needs more of NOW!
Boy this song and Blue Sky will get you down a long stretch of highway.
Great music by a great but underrated band. Bless up boys.
One of my favorite groups of all time. Never get tired of playing their music.
You can’t go wrong with a song from this band. Their first four albums are what Americana music is to the world -love,location and humor…..play on Amazing Rhythm Aces. ☮️🎶🔛🌎
Hello Jeanne how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
One of the Greatest albums of all time "To Stuffed to Jump" I Love this Band! 3:07
"Stacked Deck" is the best
When the guitar solo on this song starts on "Too Stuffed to Jump",, it will bring tears of joy to your eyes. This is one of the best Southern Rock bands of all time and the guitar solo is up there with Aqualung.
If I could only listen to One band got to be these boys
They have a great catalog.
I have this song on my Apple Music playlist. Love it
This song is the human predicament, set to beautiful music. ❤
Amen to that brother 🤙
I love this song easy listening
Rest in peace Russell Smith

Absolutely one of my all time favorite songs. Just perfect 👌
All this running town to town. Brings me back Home. Trying to keep up with everything. Turns sad when you think of where you come from. So, I guess you knew it all along. Guess her memories are here to stay. Hooray.
This was one of my favorite songs of my late "Rowena" we used to play this song when we went for a cruise 😢❤

You're exactly right about the bands. Especially Russell's voice and levon helms, may they rest in peace
I saw em at the Armadillo in 1977 I think! FANTASTIC!!!
This song was my favorite for a long time. I have several of their albums, love these guys, great band.
I had all the L P 's Stacked Deck , To Stuffed to Jump . Great band , such good albums . Toucan do it too . Dancing the Night Away is classic

Awesome! Super Tight for Sure! I missed these guys growing up but Im glad I finally found them!
Fantastic lead work
What a great band

AMAZING BAND.

Out of Country music 🎶 this is my favorite ❤ you Russell RIP
And all that made that band ❤yall
Very underrated band
Great band
Man, I love this tune. Long road.
Larry and to all who can add to this library of this band- Thank You. My mind may be failing me but I seem to remember that all of the masters of their recordings were burned up in a fire. Check your vinyl and cassettes and keep 'em coming. And thanx!
Great, evocative song, the guitar lead that takes it home is tops!
The late Barry "Byrd" Burton was an amazing player.
Nothing sounds as good as a Les Paul Custom in the right handd

Except a tele which is way more versatile.
I used to see them play around Memphis. They were all great musicians. RIP Russell and Bird.

Byrd Burton....Rogersville's favorite shredder.....RIP Byrd.
Byrd could do it all, lead guitar, mandolin, Dobro, pedal steel,flat top. He was a special talent.
Rogersville Alabama?

Love this band my older brother gave me this album!
Maybe my all time favorite band. They were so versatile. The could play rock and roll, straight country, country rock, southern rock, old time gospel and even a little jazz. No better writer than Russell Smith.
I recently discovered this one and third rate romance. Great vocals and guitars imo.
What I would call great relaxing beer drinking music. Smooth as greased owl shit.
One of my most favorite songs of all times. I remember when this come out. I would be driving my my old GTO. I WOULD KICK IT IN THE ASS that needle pointing straight down on a flat west Texas road.
Man those were the days before the midi/electronic keyboards took over. Nice to see a Fender Rhodes and B3 Hammond being played.
James Hooker was a great keyboard player. Billy Earhart on organ was great too.
Very cool song. Oldie but a goodie.
Another fine song by Burton some years before he wrote the beautiful "Gulf Coast Highway" with Nanci. I hope Russell is in great short musicians heaven with Steve Goodman, who of course wrote the country masterpiece "You Never Even Called Me By My Name."
Great Tune
The keyboard part reminds me of the song "Brandy" 🤫
So smooth, great song writers. Just realised they were in Australia in 2011 and I didnt know! Look at all the hair. Ive just replace my Too Stuffed to Jump CD from to much playing.
damn Bros...y'all just 'effing kill it !
