It is a peaceful life, but it ain't easy. We will defend this way of life with our last drop of blood. The world would be a better place if we all had a back porch to watch the sun set from.
I was brought up on a farm. I stayed out there til I turned 50. The kids were grown and my wife passed. I live in the city now.I miss sittin on the porch listening to the crickets and the breeze rustling the trees. Hmmm.Sounds like a country song.
I’m a lifetime farmer in southern Arkansas. Living on the farm handed down from my grandfather and I’ve been known to do a little front porch pickin too. Still have the guitar my grandfather got me in 1965.
I’ve seen Travis in one of his acoustic concerts about a year ago. Just him and his guitar. He can sing his ass off and his guitar skills are amazing. Definitely one of my favorites and an all time legend. I wish he would come on out and show these new country popsters how it’s done.
Absolutely. Took my dad who’s played rock guitar all his life to a TT solo acoustic show. He loved it. Couldn’t believe the guitar skill and vocal talent. Travis is one of the greats.
It's as if this song was written about me in my early life. Left home for the Army at 17 searching for something better. Wish I was back on that farm right now!
Born and bred in Iowa here. I’ve lived all over the country and THIS song always brings me back home. Most of the family farms are gone now but still lots of family in those small towns surrounded by corn.
You mentioned Charlie Pride, I met him at the Country Music Hall of Fame, back in 2000. Super nice man, I've been a fan of his since I was a young child. He was one of my father's favorite singers.
I am not a huge country fan but Travis is one of my all time favourite singers. All of his songs are so deep and the emotion and passion in his voice is unbelievable.
I have a theory of why country music singers are so good when they perform live. It's because they LOVE singing and consequently, they don't mind putting in the hours and hours and hours, perhaps over a period of many years, of practicing that is necessary to sing well. I heard an EXTREMELY well-known performer in another genre (I would hesitate to call her a "singer') say that she actually didn't enjoy singing but she just did it because that was a way for her to become well known and get rich and anytime you go to see her "live" you actually are treated to her lip-synching. Country music singers, on the other hand, usually LOVE what they do and on nights when they are not performing somewhere it is not at all uncommon to see them all gather at the house of one of the band members and sing until the wee hours of the morning. When you ENJOY what you are doing and you put that much time into your craft, you become good at it. Also, country music singers HAVE to sing good because that's all most of them do. They don't have smoke and mirrors to entertain the crowd. They don't have a bunch of bimbos dancing behind them wearing as little as the law allows to distract you from the fact that they can't sing. They don't prance all over the stage giving close-ups of body parts that frankly I would prefer not to see. They just SING! I attended a George Jones concert a couple of decades ago and when he first came on stage he said, "I don't do a lot of dancing around on stage and I don't have a lot of special effects, I just sing." Some dude way at the back of the auditorium said what all of us were thinking. He yelled, "George that's all we want you to do because we came to hear you sing!" Anyway, that's my theory!
He is such a nice guy.. he used to come to Va. Beach quite often and hold small concerts at the KOA Campground.. he'd ride in unapologetically on his Harley and talked to everyone.
Have been obsessed with this man since he first hit the country scene in 1989. Met him 5 years ago, & he is truly humble AND a Patriot!💖💖💖🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My dad always told me, when I was younger, between birth and 12 years old is the easiest part of your life because you're not responsible for anything nor. Between 12 and 18 is the hardest part of your life because you're too old to do the things you used to do and not old enough to do the thing you want to do. Penny said between the age of 18 and 25 is the smartest part of your life because you think you know everything. Then between 25 and 35 you realize how stupid you was between 18 and 25 because you'll learn more one time then you will the rest of your life. Damn why did he have to be right again? Lol
Back in the early 70's in Montana, my Mom went to a Charley Pride concert. She said it was such a hard concert because this, of course was waaaaay before social media. So many people were still so prejudiced against blacks and very open about it. When the concert started and Charley came out and started singing, she said the crowd was in an uproar and a very large portion of them left. They couldn't see beyond the color of his skin. Yet, they loved the music enough to have bought a concert ticket. I know there is racial tension today as well, but I'd like to think that the majority of us have moved beyond those narrow minded times. We're more alike than different, but the differences aren't necessarily bad either. We'd never grow or put forth change if we didn't take time to listen to others opinions and thought processes. We'd never have new cures for diseases, never have invented cars, planes, or walked on the moon. The world is ever changing and we can choose to stay in a stagnant little puddle, or we can move with the tide! ❤
The worst part is he got it from both sides, a guy I worked with told me Charlie did a show for the service members and after singing some of the black guys said "alright, now sing some of our music" for which Charlie replied "I don't sing white music and I don't sing black music, I sing Charlie Pride music" he seemed like a very stand up guy from what I've heard
You should check out Waylon Jennings version of this song. Travis Tritt Originally recorded this song as a tribute to Waylon when Waylon died and it was first performed live at a tribute concert for Waylon Jennings. Wouldn't you know, it became a big hit for Travis (but I still like Waylon's version better).
I appreciate your appreciation of this song. I grew up on a tobacco farm in NC, just south of Greensboro, NC. So glad to hear a Winston-Salem native appreciate this song that says so much about rural farming life, and how some of us rural kids thought there was something else out there. I was one of them. I left the farm and started driving a truck. Wish I'd never left the farm. And yes, I grew up listening to Charlie Pride; he had an amazing voice. God bless you, friend.
I am country, love all different type of music but grew up on country music and what's called oldies like Bob Seager etc. But at 17 I was a single mother who was taking care of my new baby girl who is now 17 herself, my parents and my oldest brother plus my niece who is now 21. Plus my job and going to night school.
One of the most extraordinary live performers there's ever been. Would love to see you react to Travis Tritt doing "Long Haired Country Boy" from the same live show as in this video. Ol' Charlie Daniels must've been proud of that performance. Interesting how in the 70s video of Charlie Daniels doing his original performance was also him sitting down, just like Travis during his live show. I wonder if that was intentional to pay tribute to ol' man legend Daniels or not. But damn Travis Tritt can play and sing link a champ!
Beautiful melody with the truth… Do city folk “feel” this song, too? In response to Mr. Morin’s comment: In Texas Mr. Pride was doing a concert with a short-haired Willie Nelson and others, and Mr. Pride was the only one to receive a standing ovation that night. I pray Mr. pride is truly as amazing as he seems to be. Prayers to his family for his leaving this world. The Heavenly Choir must be glad to have him, though!
"The only black country singer I knew was Charlie Pride." You should check out some of the stuff by Darius Rucker. Black country singer, and one of the best voices out there.
Travis Tritt did have a nice voice. George Jones got down with all kinds of voice inflection back in the day. He was so good. I saw him live not too long before he passed, and I was completely blown away. 👍🏻
Brother, youre just great! Travis T is an amazing artist. He was really on top of the game for a few years, back in the day. Great talent. I wish youd do some more blues.. Joe bonamassa, albert collins, albert king, jonny lang, eric gales, tab benoit, srv.
I am REWATCHING, like I said I would. I am hearing a beautiful song from a beautiful voice telling a beautiful truth. Travis Tritt music was in my music for a long time, but I heard him for awhile. Thank you so very much.
I never heard the studio version but I can’t imagine it sounding any better than this. That was great. Don’t we all wish for a simpler life? Nice commentary. 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽
Dude. Your from Winston😍. Me too. Kinda. Spent my Teen years there. Ever heard of T.J.'s Deli? My Parents restaurant. They recently sold it to some long time friends that are also a Family of Restaurateurs.
The live and kickin' album is great. You're right to sound that good live is just awesome. You're one of the few reviewer's I've seen do anything form live and kickin'. If you appreciate acoustic instruments and live singing I'd suggest allison krause and union station live "ghost in this house" is awesome for allison and "Tiny broken heart"
You have the voice for country music. I listened to you on your other channel, a and I loved your voice, if you want to sing country, just do it, Luke Combs did.

TRAVIS IS A MASTER IN HIS TRADE.
I’m a lifetime farmer in southern Arkansas. Living on the farm handed down from my grandfather and I’ve been known to do a little front porch pickin too. Still have the guitar my grandfather got me in 1965.
Love it would love to sit on your porch cant carry a tune in a bucket but love to sing my 4 brothers who all can sing tell me to be quiet ha ha

Heres a quarter and call someone who cares, 10 ft tall and bulletproof, Bonnie and Clyde by Travis!!!
Add I’m Gonna Be Somebody to that list
Always happy when Travis sangs.

Anyway, that's my theory!
I will take where the corn grows everyday thank you
I have seen him in concert! He puts on a great show! Country living is peaceful! Come see us!! ❤️Tennessee
Travis is authentic... Travis is 500% what you hear
Thanks to you my appreciation for Travis Tritt has reached the sky!
He is such a nice guy.. he used to come to Va. Beach quite often and hold small concerts at the KOA Campground.. he'd ride in unapologetically on his Harley and talked to everyone.
I am going to have to re-watch this with you. I am 78,a white woman, raised on a farm and I think I am going to cry
Good call because this Man can sing with any of the Greats.

Hey Winston Salem!! Greensboro Here!! Glad to see some good ole North Carolinians!
I saw Travis with only his guitar nobody else it was awesome
I lost my little brother. This was one of his two favorite songs!!
I was supposed to see him this past summer, but because of Covid. It was canceled. I want to see him so bad! He is my favorite!

I am sitting in my room watching this from Winston Salem NC.
Wow, nice, that’s where I’m from 😁
he's the man i saw him live two summers ago!
oh he can play the guitar too!
Beautiful melody with the truth…
Do city folk “feel” this song, too?
In response to Mr. Morin’s comment:
In Texas Mr. Pride was doing a concert with a short-haired Willie Nelson and others, and Mr. Pride was the only one to receive a standing ovation that night.

Thank you so for sharing! He is one of my favorites. I saw him at a small fair about 30 years ago. Always amazing and humble. Just love him!
I love Travis Tritt. He can sing and wait till you see him live and play that guitar. I saw him live once . . . It wasnt enough!
The music video of My name is Bocephus by Hank Williams jr.
Theres a HUGE surprise guest in it that you'll love to see
Travis has amazing stage presence and genuine talent to supply it. He’s the real thing. Hard not to like him.
"The only black country singer I knew was Charlie Pride."
You should check out some of the stuff by Darius Rucker. Black country singer, and one of the best voices out there.
Travis is on point!
I have seen him live 4 times, he always sounds great and puts on a great show.
i seen him in concert wow the best so much fun
Country music lyrics change emotions on the spot
Did not know you were born in WinstonSalem. I work in WinstonSalem and live just outside of it. That was very interesting to learn.
Travis Tritt had a southern rock side too. Check out PUT SOME DRIVE IN YOUR COUNTRY and HOMESICK
I love this man dont have a bad song just do a week of travis please💞
Thanks for sharing. Travis is a beast.
re: being 17. I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
The weeds are high where corn don’t grow.
I’ve seen him 3times in concert fantastic good times
That's Waylon's song, Travis did tremendous job on it.
Glad to know someone remembers the original!!
Travis Tritt did have a nice voice. George Jones got down with all kinds of voice inflection back in the day. He was so good. I saw him live not too long before he passed, and I was completely blown away. 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing your story. From 60 year old brick and stone mason Marc from Deerfield NH.. Go Buccaneers
George strait and Brooks and Dunn Alan Jackson are great live
Brother, youre just great! Travis T is an amazing artist. He was really on top of the game for a few years, back in the day. Great talent. I wish youd do some more blues.. Joe bonamassa, albert collins, albert king, jonny lang, eric gales, tab benoit, srv.
He puts on one hell of a concert!!
Country music is my absolute favorite genre. If I had to choose one sound to listen to the rest of my life it would be country.
I am REWATCHING, like I said I would. I am hearing a beautiful song from a beautiful voice telling a beautiful truth. Travis Tritt music was in my music for a long time, but I heard him for awhile. Thank you so very much.
He is the best, saw him in person one time, jut love him . Thats country music, oh yea.
Here’s A Quarter...legendary diss track.
Shout outs from Raleigh!
