Ronnie was brought on board to write songs for this movie, and was cast as Barbara Jean only at the last minute. Her performance both acting and musically is simply stunning. It deserves it's own Oscar category for "Best Walk-On Instant Superstar" or something. This song is the best of many. The characters are so absorbed in their roles, every time I watch this film (about 16 times since the DVD came out) I feel like everything I've seen in it was real. I think Altman set out to make satire, and somewhere along the way the film took on its own reality and rose above it. This film doesn't lampoon country music, or Nashville, or America. It honors it warts and all. I can't watch Nashville without wanting to watch it again. Why? Because I miss the characters. In addition to Ronnie Blakley, Lily Tomlin gives perhaps the best performance of her life. Henry Gibson set out (as I'm sure Altman did) to make Haven Hamilton the butt of the film, but in the end he acts heroically. The true buffoon is the amazing Geraldine Chaplin... ever present with her tape recorder, and she *missed* the ending. That's truly funny. Geraldine is a character in another almost forgotten, fantastic movie - Home For The Holidays, starring Holly Hunter and a very young and crazy Robert Downey Jr. This period of time was perhaps Hollywood's second Golden Age, although nobody realized it at the time. To this day, I don't understand how Altman started out with one thing and ended up with another. Awesome editing I suppose - 80 hours of film pared down to this 162 minute epic. I understand why people don't like it, hate it even, or just don't get it. But it was the third time I watched it - in 2000 - on DVD in beautiful sound and picture - that it grabbed me, and I realized it was my favorite film of all time. And it has some tough competition. I've got some other unwatched Altman on the shelf. IMO Nashville is better than MASH, Short Cuts, or Kansas City. Probably the best of the later Altman films is The Player. Nashville is special. There will never again be anything else like it.
You’re gonna love McCabe and Mrs Miller I bet. And Three Women is another less well known but excellent Altman movie. Along with Nashville, those would be my top 3 of his. This scene is probably my favorite in the whole movie. I love how unflashy the camera work is. With a song this great nowadays they would’ve done all kinds of editing and shown every angle, but here you often feel like you’re in the audience.
This is a "show stopper" moment from a great movie. This song breaks your heart, as she sings this to a clueless husband who doesn't recognize her cry for help.
Ronee. Are you watching over these comments? In my opinion, you gave the best supporting actress performance of all time. It's your singing AND your acting. It's your acting IN your singing. You have so much soul as Barbara Jean. You just totally created this huge country star and you were so far from being yourself and just totally made us all belive you were this huge country star. I believed every facet of Barbara Jean. Even when you sang it wasn't just singing, it was acting as Barbara Jean. This is a seriously brilliant performance. Thank you SO much, Ronee!
This film continues to make me think about the my country and the the struggles of the people who populate it. Robert Altman at the peak of his powers and Ronee Blakley singing the hell out of her own tune...Country with its soul still intact!
Pauline Kael, in her review of this movie, said that a woman beside her while she was watching this move burst into tears while watching Ronee Blakely singing "Dues" - Does anyone wonder why?
@@davemathews7890 This song appears earlier in the film; we don't have any idea that she's going to be killed yet. The woman cried because it's a sad song.
Saw this film last night in a film class on Robert Altman, and while I didn't know what to think of it initially, I'm slowly falling in love with its soundtrack. Especially this song.
Nashville should of clean house at the Oscars at the time.I love Ronee's voice and this tune.She's very talented actress.I wish todays performers will wake up and go back to true country music.
I love Barbara Jean! Truly, Ronee Blakely in this role is perfection. This song is beautiful and the final song - ugh, I cry every time I watch this movie.
One two, Freddie's coming for you.. On a serious note, i didn't know she was a singer till I looked her up. I'm not a fan of country, but she has a beautiful voice...
@CarlD2 It is the movies musical high point. Barbara Jean is living this song and thats what gives it so much power. Ronee Blakley is in this character so deeply that she is on another world, another level of human existance.
It's that careless Disrespect I can't take no more baby It's the way That you don't love me When you say you do Baby It hurts so bad It gets me down, down, down I want to walk away from this battleground This hurtin match It aint no good Id give a lot to love you The way i used to do Wish I could. Well, you've got your own private world I wouldn't have it No other way But lately you've been hiding your wounds Pretending what you say It hurts so bad It gets me down, down, down I want to walk away from this battleground This hurtin match It aint no good Id give a lot to love you The way i used to do Wish I could. Mmmm, mmmmm, mmmm Well, writing it down Kinda makes me feel better Keeps me away from them blues I want to be nice to you Treat you right But how long can I pay these dues? It hurts so bad It gets me down, down, down I want to walk away from this battleground This hurtin match It aint no good, no Id give a lot to love you The way i used to do Wish I could. Mmmmm Whoooooo- Whoooooo- Whoooooo- I... wish I could Hmm mmmm mmmmm
@CarlD2 I agree. Its ironic because its meant to be parody. But these are some of the best country songs ever written- lyrically and very poetic. Ronee Blakley is a great performer.
If you like the music in this movie, there's plenty of country you might like. (and by country I mean REAL country, not that frat/pop stuff most of it's turned into within the last decade.
She reminds me of a combination of Loretta Lynn and Emmy Lou Harris -- both great singers and great beauties. This song is just like sad type of song Emmy Lou usually sings.
The Greatest Film Of All or to quote an Amazon reviewer, "The film that made me love films". Nobody, not Altman or anybody else ever captured the magic like this. Closest thing to a self-involving film... when it's over you feel like you've been there and you know and miss all the characters... is American Graffiti. Lucas never did anything quite like it again.
You don't have to like country to love this. IT'S SATIRE!! All the performances are great. Blakely is peerless. This is the spirit that is so needed in 2015. Intelligent satire. Christ, the world provides countless opportunities for this genre! But it's all about kiddies. Blech! What happened.
People today are very educated, but not very smart! Music talent after 2010 is kind of lame. I like western music but country tends toward sentimentality. The problem in music is the same for the society, too much bull shit and too little creativity. The educated are captured in a mind virus that makes them 'logical' but NOT rational. They 'beliefs' are downloaded lacking examination.
fntime Country Music has quite a bit of creativity. You have no clue. But its great. To me its the only genre that really matters or sounds interesting. Pop Rock is probably the least creative, and Rap is not even music.
Both music and film have gone SO far downhill since this movie. So much heart and soul here (and utter brilliance, from both Altman and Blakeley). The fact is today most people don't even know this great film, one of my favorites.
Was just listening to some Hoyt Axton, it would have been Hoyt's 75th today. One of the songs, among all the great tunes he either wrote of covered, was Ronee Blakley's 'Bluebird' from Hoyt's 1978 album Free Sailin'. Made me think of her in this Altman classic.
This role was loosely based on the Queen of Country Music, Loretta Lynn, who had a nervous breakdown in front of an audience and was escorted off stage. Blakely captures the pathos of her character completely. She earned her Oscar nomination in this film!
@whiskeypriest1 It's a phenomenal song, and for all the talk that the movie derided country music or had cheesy songs, this is classic country, it gets to the very spirit of country music. Beautifully structured and performed - one of the best moments in film ever and one that stays with me always. I also wonder if Joss Whedon modeled Drucilla on Barbara Jean...
Listen to some of Ronee's other songs(New Moon Rising from Rolling Thunder Revue, Texas, Young Man , Nobody's Bride , Love theme from China 9 Liberty 37, I Lied,all of welcome album and 1972 album, Graduation Theme,) and more. There needs to be a new appraisal of her music.She's like a Joni Mitchell or a Laura Nyro talent. In Nashville she's like a singing Gene Tierney.
@VASINGER Parody does not mean offence. That's why "Nashville" keeps being the masterpiece it is. It is simple and complex at the same time. Mr Altman leaves everyone free to form an idea of his/her own about the story told on the screen. Love form Italy.
And to think that they all wrote, and performed, their own songs; Carradine's is great and, of course, won an Oscar, but this is a really touching composition as was her performance throughout the film; Blakely was Academy Award nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and so was Lily Tomlin, but neither won, alas, cuz they deserved to be awarded for their roles in this monumental film.
Dues was ineligable for an Oscar since it appeared originally on Blakeley's album, released before the movie. I think Dues is a far superior song to I'm Easy.
Me: "I'm just not a fan of Country music or Western movies." *likes Nashville, Coal Miner's Daughter, True Grit, Thin Lizzy, Unforgiven, The Searchers, Maverick, The Dollars Trilogy, Tombstone and watched tons of Re-Runs of The Rifleman when I was young*
Yes. And later in the following monologue when she stops and starts a few times, the band didn't know to expect that : ) Their bewilderment that's caught on film is real. Ha ha!
So very nice of you, "Ronee," to post the same invitation on EVERY SINGLE POST on this video. I hope your next salad comes to you loaded with real bacon bits.
I bought a DVD of Nashville on ebay. I watched it with some film majors in grad school when it came out. I think it's brilliant! Love it! BTW, Spanky & Our Gang (70s lineup) recorded this song on their Change album in 1976. youtube(dotcom)/watch?v=RXl3VUIbcBI
Nashville did not sweep the Oscars because 1975 was a great year in films. One Flew Over the Cuckoos' Nest swept the academy awards and has perhaps the most awesome ending ever. JAWS made all the money at the box office and got the awards for effects. That left Nashville all the critical acclaim and one puny award for Keith Carradine's piece of shit "I'm Easy", easily one of the dullest songs in the film, but when he sings it in the bar and four women think he's singing it to them - Mary, LA Joan, Opal all think it's for them but Lily Tomlin knows it's for her. And when she bails on him she's not even fazed that he's already calling another woman. She just got done using HIM. She owned him. Great scene. I can watch this again and again and notice something new every time. Like in Trout's bar you can hear him saying Hal Philip Walker is "an admitted homo" and 30 seconds later, he's signing up Gwen Welles to be the entertainment at Walker's fundraiser. Someone called Kenny's assassination of Barbara Jean the "lone nut killer's version of premature ejaculation". He was obviously there to shoot walker, but something in Barbara Jean's song "Mommy and Daddy" set him off... he had mother issues as we saw in the phone call at Mr. Green's. Barbara Baxley's speech about "the Kennedy boys" is priceless... they probably rolled the camera on her the entire time and just edited in the best parts. Nashville is a triumph of editing (so is Wizard of Oz) I'd actually watch the other 77 hours of footage that wasn't used, but apparently it was all disposed of.
@@randywhite3947 No deleted scenes but every scene had multiple cameras rolling and every scene was edited. Read The Nashville Chronicles. 80 hours of film in the can.
how's this for a comment...I really dislike country music...However, I've never heard a voice like Ronee before...I downloaded every song she sang in this album....what a beautifull voice
She deserved an Oscar--so essential to my favorite film of all time. This is the only time I've actually liked country music. Pure soul.
I totally agree. This is my favourite supporting actress performance of all time.
Ronnie was brought on board to write songs for this movie, and was cast as Barbara Jean only at the last minute. Her performance both acting and musically is simply stunning. It deserves it's own Oscar category for "Best Walk-On Instant Superstar" or something. This song is the best of many.

Geraldine is a character in another almost forgotten, fantastic movie - Home For The Holidays, starring Holly Hunter and a very young and crazy Robert Downey Jr. This period of time was perhaps Hollywood's second Golden Age, although nobody realized it at the time.

Very well stated, Winston, and thank you. There is Geraldine Chaplin's other buffoonish role as the wedding planner in Altman's "A Wedding."
Winston Beech Nashville is arguably the best film ever

A husband who doesn't and, the way I read it, a country that doesn't.
there's both personal and political context, if you also read it as how american troops experienced vietnam...
She would’ve got my Oscar vote for Best Supporting Actress of 1975. The critics preferred Lily, but this performance floored me. Excellent!
Ronee. Are you watching over these comments? In my opinion, you gave the best supporting actress performance of all time. It's your singing AND your acting. It's your acting IN your singing.

one of the most beautiful performances i've ever seen... truly memorable and she's gorgeous.
This is one of the best country songs I've ever heard.
@Ronee Blakley🎶That would be lovely! Thank you!
I loved the soundtrack of this film
Me, too!
Love this song and scene. Ronee is great in the movie, should have gotten the Oscar.
Yes she should have
...country music like it should be...oh how I loved it way back then...just listen to this wonderful voice and song!
Pauline Kael, in her review of this movie, said that a woman beside her while she was watching this move burst into tears while watching Ronee Blakely singing "Dues" - Does anyone wonder why?
Craig doyle maybe the song reminded of her of something that happened in her past?
Because she's probably about to be killed. And if that doesn't get her, sho biz will. She's a doomed character.
@@davemathews7890 This song appears earlier in the film; we don't have any idea that she's going to be killed yet.
The woman cried because it's a sad song.
LOL at the people answering this rhetorical question
I’d think Barbara Jean’s song ‘My Idaho Home’ would make anybody ball their eyes out. Always gives me a melancholy feeling to hear the words.
the best song of all from the film and all of them were great
Phenomenal film. Ronee stole every scene she was in! Great voice & she was quite the looker in her day!
that would be today and every day.
Barnett was good, too. It was magic.
Saw this film last night in a film class on Robert Altman, and while I didn't know what to think of it initially, I'm slowly falling in love with its soundtrack. Especially this song.
OMG you commented on one of my favorite films, and you're picture is one of my favorite albums. What a coincidence!
@@jimm7098 can you please tell me whats film it is about?
@@jaora483
It’s about two hours and 40 minutes. 😊
A beautiful and bewitching performance. I just fell in love with this character

Nashville and Dylan's "Self Portrait" opened my ears to country music.
No Offence to Keith Carradine, but in my opinion this is the Song that should have won the Film's Best Original Song Oscar...
Bless you, Sister Ronee! I love you, Sister! I pray to God to bless you and protect you! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox Thank you, Ronee!
I just love this song, I can't stop listening to it
She's INCREDIBLE in this film. I wish I'd met her.
Ronee Blakley is still alive today, so you may yet get that chance.
@@eamonndeane587 How I'd love that!
Ronee Blakley makes my inner evolution grow...cause she's Cosmic
how can this have No comments?!
a perfect musical moment. ronee blakley isthe real thing
Man oh man, I can't get this song out of my mind. So luminous!
One two, Freddie's coming for you.. On a serious note, i didn't know she was a singer till I looked her up. I'm not a fan of country, but she has a beautiful voice...
One of the greatest acting performances and songs ever. This film is up there with 2001 and Five Easy Pieces
Ronee, that voice, that wonderful voice!
@CarlD2 It is the movies musical high point. Barbara Jean is living this song and thats what gives it so much power. Ronee Blakley is in this character so deeply that she is on another world, another level of human existance.
Heart-achingly beautiful and breathtaking...
Ugh, I utterly and sincerely love this song!
Doesn’t get better than that.
Ronee and David need to do another movie together...if Henry was still here he could have joined them...he was such a splendid actor.
This was the same woman who played the mom in A Nightmare on Elm Street 1984
a perfect angel
This film really changed my perspective on country music.
Actually, one of the best performances in a movie full of good performances. I'd forgotten about this one. Thanks for putting it here.
This song always tears me up. Beautiful.
@Ronee Blakley🎶 of course it is.
It's that careless
Disrespect
I can't take no more baby
It's the way
That you don't love me
When you say you do
Baby
It hurts so bad
It gets me down, down, down
I want to walk away from this battleground
This hurtin match
It aint no good
Id give a lot to love you
The way i used to do
Wish I could.
Well, you've got your own private world
I wouldn't have it
No other way
But lately you've been hiding your wounds
Pretending what you say
It hurts so bad
It gets me down, down, down
I want to walk away from this battleground

It aint no good
Id give a lot to love you
The way i used to do
Wish I could.
Mmmm, mmmmm, mmmm
Well, writing it down
Kinda makes me feel better
Keeps me away from them blues

***** Exactly the same for me. (I still dislike it, but in Nashville it's good)

If you like the music in this movie, there's plenty of country you might like. (and by country I mean REAL country, not that frat/pop stuff most of it's turned into within the last decade.
It's gonna have a remastered 5.1 DTS-HD track, so it's gonna sound as amazing as possible.
She reminds me of a combination of Loretta Lynn and Emmy Lou Harris -- both great singers and great beauties.
This song is just like sad type of song Emmy Lou usually sings.
+Lynn S.H. Nice call: The character (Barbara Jean) is based on Loretta Lynn.
+Paul Goode No, Lynn Anderson.
corvus13 We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.
Paul Goode Would you disagree with Ronee Blakley, because she's the one who said so.
Actors say a lot of things.

There needs to be a new appraisal of her music.She's like a Joni Mitchell or a Laura Nyro talent. In Nashville she's like a singing Gene Tierney.
Oh my goodestness
Unforgettable performance. Listen to Ronee sing China 9 Love Ballad (3 min. version), Graduation Tune, Texas, and Alien Invasion, and Bluebird.
Thanks...those "answers" I always found somewhat, ah, bewildering.....
That's what Blu-Ray was made for, ESPECIALLY if the Criterion's doing it.
Thanks for posting!!

Parody does not mean offence. That's why "Nashville" keeps being the masterpiece it is. It is simple and complex at the same time. Mr Altman leaves everyone free to form an idea of his/her own about the story told on the screen. Love form Italy.
bravo!
David's character was eerily silent and knowing what he does at the end makes it even scarier.
That long close-up on him while she’s singing “You’ve got your own private world … and lately you’ve been hiding your wounds” is chilling.

What's nice is that she really was thanking the audience (not extras).
Yes. And later in the following monologue when she stops and starts a few times, the band didn't know to expect that : ) Their bewilderment that's caught on film is real. Ha ha!
Yeah, I noticed the looks on the band members, just waiting to start playing. What was up with that?
superb
I came aware of this film through comparisons to Magnolia, and since then I've always wanted to hear Aimee Mann cover this song.
No one can cover this. Too deep
Wow!

Nashville is a triumph of editing (so is Wizard of Oz) I'd actually watch the other 77 hours of footage that wasn't used, but apparently it was all disposed of.
Winston Beech bullshit I’m easy is a Masterpiece and one of the best songs of the 70s
Winston Beech nope Altman said there are no deleted scenes
Winston Beech they didn’t edit anything if I recall correctly for Barbara baxley
@@randywhite3947 No deleted scenes but every scene had multiple cameras rolling and every scene was edited. Read The Nashville Chronicles. 80 hours of film in the can.
@@randywhite3947 Boring song and hardly the best song in the film.
Did she invent alt-country?
how's this for a comment...I really dislike country music...However, I've never heard a voice like Ronee before...I downloaded every song she sang in this album....what a beautifull voice
