There is so much glorious new country music emerging and I'm so happy for it. I personally shy away from comparison (because what's the use, really, in the creative field?), but goodness gracious some of the voices I'm hearing the last year or so are rocking my world.
There's not many songs you can say can say was sang better than the original but this is one of them. Keith and George would both be proud to hear this.
@@brandonhoelscher356 It was written and performed by an artist named Dean Dillon. Keith was second as someone pointed out above. Keith did the best version, but he never released it as a single, so it never hit the charts like Straits version (released as a single). Keith's last song he himself wrote was with "Dean Dillon" and titled, "She never got me over you" and was later recorded by Mark Chesnutt. And in closing. George is the king of country music. George Jones is. :) never fully bake in the summer heat fellas.
@ all I said was alternative country. Isn’t real country. Zach top brings real country back that we needed badly for our generation. So these young kids can hear what real country sounds like.
Please do a cover like this once a month! It's the best thing your talented voice can do for those of us longing for real country from a fabulous country voice!
Love Zach top! He’s our legend of our generation! Like a George strait, a Johnny cash or an Alan Jackson! We are so lucky to have his music and talent in this day and age! PURE AND TRUE TALENT!!

Been sitting here by the bonfire 🔥⭐️ in Alabama looking at the northern lights tonight. Done listen to this song here three times! 😂 Son you gonna have to get this one recorded and on the radio! Made Strait proud! 🙌🏻. #playitnashville
That guitar playing is high level, man. Those blended leads in the intro and outro that flow in and out of rhythm playing are so flawless and sound incredible.

Lost my Uncle Tom yesterday. 40 years of being his niece just wasn't long enough but I know I'll see him again one day. The only comforting thought is that he's at peace and with my Dad and Grandma now. 3 beautiful lives all gone within a year. Love you Uncle Tom, Cindy ❤
"Just when you think it can't get no better then it does Well it's always so much better than it ever was It seems like all the good things come at once, yes they do Just when you think it can't get no better then it does" (I don't know if you were thinking of this song when you made that comment, but I had to echo it either way :))
In my opinion, Whitley was the best to do it. I am sure he would be delighted to share a room with this guy. I absolutely love to hear this guy sing some of Keith's stuff. Been a long time fan, more Whitley PLEASE!
Brother, you ARE AMAZING!.. you are everything i wish i could have ever been as a singer/musician.. I'm so glad i found you...I have listened to this a 1000 times and learned it just the way you do it.. not even close to as good of course..it was my ex-fiance's favorite song...i can't help but hurt when i hear you sing it. As good or better that the King❤
When this song came on i had to pick up my phone and see if this was a live performance of old keith. Wow dude. Never thought country would sound this way again

I been trying to figure out why I love ZT’s music so much. Then I heard this song and it hit me how much he reminds me of Keith Whitley. Best cover of this song I’ve ever heard.

Love your sound buddy you truly bring back the traditional country sound that a lot people miss. Congrats by the way on the nomination of New artist of the year!

Zach Top is everything country music should be.
I'm happy for every iteration of country music that wants to come into existence, but I must admit that this here is pretty much perfect.
YES! ❤
Agreed
By the time this guy‘s career is done, he will be considered one of the greatest of all time in the 21st-century.
he is bringing country back to its roots
He's very good but relax with that stupid shit lmfao
Yes sir. Can't wait for him and Ben Haggard to do a tune. They will.
@@Pittsburgh_Kiddefinitely agree. That has to be a 12 year old girl commenting

Jon pardi’s acoustic version pretty good as well
I’m gonna say it. Jon Pardi, Zach Top, and Cody Johnson are the kings of acoustic covers.
He's good, but George Strait does it best.
sorry but NOT better than GS original. Very good though.
He's good but Keith is on God mode...miss me with with the GS comparison...the "king" couldn't shine Keith's shoes when it comes to singing.
We NEED this on Spotify 🥹🥹😭
Agreed
1000%!!
This is why UA-cam music is superior
YES
I’ll be happy to tell all my friends I introduced them to Zach Top when he is one of the biggest country stars
Same here
Great cover, 35 years today since we lost Keith… rest easy Kentucky Bluebird!
Song is sang and recorded by George Strait. Not by Keith Whitley.
@@brandonhoelscher356 Keith Whitley released it on his LA to Miami before Strait cut it.
@@brandonhoelscher356😂😂😂

Not this alternative Morgan wallen Zach Bryan crap. This is REAL country. Thank you Zach top. What a cover
What's wrong with Zach Bryan?? Will never understand why people hate him so much, literally for no reason
@ all I said was alternative country. Isn’t real country. Zach top brings real country back that we needed badly for our generation. So these young kids can hear what real country sounds like.
My 90s heart is so freaking happy. I can't get over how nostaglic your music makes me feel. Thank you for bringing country back.
Agreed! I am obsessed with him!
Too bad this was 80s lol
Best new country artist out right now.
I just wanna thank God for the souls like Zach Top & Jake Worthington for bringing country music back.
I love the resurgence of classic country lately.
Please do a cover like this once a month! It's the best thing your talented voice can do for those of us longing for real country from a fabulous country voice!
This is what true country music sounds like "Traditional"
Makes me want to play some old Keith Whitley songs.
Love Zach top! He’s our legend of our generation! Like a George strait, a Johnny cash or an Alan Jackson! We are so lucky to have his music and talent in this day and age! PURE AND TRUE TALENT!!
Country music has been failing us for the past decade & a 1/2 and it’s nice to hear it making a comeback again. Thanks Zach!
Love this guy! Real Country Music is coming back!!
I hope we continue to hear more of you, you’re what true country is all about. ♥️
Yes indeed
Yes I’m always there for all my fans ❤
That is everything a country song should be
A man, a guitar and pure music.
Dude we met a couple weeks ago in Bishop California. I said then and I’ll say now, thank you for keeping real country music alive.
Actually, that’s where this video was taken huh?
Man, please don't ever give Nashville the commercial sound they try to push on their artists. You are one legit one's out there.
What a brilliant time to be a country music fan
It really is.
CHEERS 🍻
Zach Top is the best there is in my opinion. It’s real music done in its purest form. He’s a great talent.
Man.... that is one good song. Zach is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists.
ZACH TOP IS THE REAL COUNTRY SINGER. LOVE HIS ACOUSTIC WITH NATURE AND GUITAR. YOUR # 1 RIGHT NOW KEEP WHAT YOUR DOING ITS GREAT.❤

Authenticity can't be faked. Music is not a competition, but it's simple to see why you are leaps and bounds above the rest. Thanks again, Zach!
I’m falling in love. He reminds me of old school country and his voice is pure talent
How do you sing so much like him. Your traditional sound is missing so much from the radio. You're making me miss him so much. 😢
So good! Thankful for another traditional country music singer. Dude is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the music I miss. Making country music country again!
Looking forward to hearing you sing this Zach Top. This man just brings Country and the blues♥️
God given talent. Just a voice and a guitar 🙌🥹 so dang good. More like this please.

Young man, you have a very beautiful talent. I pray that you thank God everyday for that talent.

God this cover never gets old… this is hands down the best Keith Whitley cover I’ve heard. I’ve love to hear it all🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Your voice is pure rich heaven on this earth. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Never stop listening❣️
Best talent in country music today! The voice, the picking, all of it!
That guitar playing is high level, man. Those blended leads in the intro and outro that flow in and out of rhythm playing are so flawless and sound incredible.
This might be the most beautiful cover I've ever heard.
Thank you so much for bringing what is to me real country music.
There's not many that can do Keith Whitley justice, but you, you did with this one ❤️.

Best acoustic version of anything I’ve ever heard in my life this is unreal
Like a old Keith Whitley song or a slow dance at the senior prom. Some things just leave you wanting more. A iconic song done so great! @‘a boy Zack!
Lost my Uncle Tom yesterday. 40 years of being his niece just wasn't long enough but I know I'll see him again one day. The only comforting thought is that he's at peace and with my Dad and Grandma now. 3 beautiful lives all gone within a year. Love you Uncle Tom, Cindy ❤
Your amazing ol boy! God has truly blessed you! Enjoy listening to your music!
just when you think it couldnt get better... it does! Absolutely love this guy!
"Just when you think it can't get no better then it does
Well it's always so much better than it ever was
It seems like all the good things come at once, yes they do
Just when you think it can't get no better then it does"
(I don't know if you were thinking of this song when you made that comment, but I had to echo it either way :))
Sang like a true professional. Thank you for sharing your sound Zach !
My wife and I listen to this on repeat. Put it on Spotify. Nature sounds and all. Thank you in advance.
