There's still good music being made. Never gonna be another Townes Van Zandt or John Prine but there's a Zach Bryan, Colter Wall, Sturgill Simpson, Mason Jennings, Todd Snider, etc... Defeatism and nostalgia is nothing but something to cry about. Open your teary eyes and stop crying about it. You probably weren't that cool back then either. When you say "they don't make nothing good anymore", you should include yourself in that and add that you never did.
It’s funny because when I was in high school in the early 90’s my dad & grandpa was saying this ain’t country. Compared to today it is straight up country. It don’t get no more country
Ahh. Blow it out your ass son. You must be a damn youngun. Don't know what real country music is. You don't have to be so rude on your comment about other people's opinion. 🤬@@turdferguson2982
First time I heard it was driving to work at the wonderful time of 3:30 in the morning. DJ said here's a new one from John Anderson. I kinda laughed thinking back to "Swangin'" and thinking what this time. The song came on and within 5 seconds I was like.... WHOA WHOA, what is THIS? Did some checking at Record Bar and found out I had completely whiffed on Seminole Wind. Bought the CD on sight.
So do I. I think in later years, the title song, "Seminole Wind" became the defining, signature song of Anderson's career, but back then, "Straight Tequila Night" was the big hit.
Hi I'm from The Netherlands. Can you explain what the difference is between this country music, and modern country? Why isnt it good nowadays?? Thanks.
Instead of these guys all copying each other about lifted trucks, chicks, dirt roads and beer. Gay. They also try to copy rap/RMB music too much and talk in half the song instead of actually singing. New Country blows my balls.
Picture this eating supper in a smaller size BBQ restaurant in Joplin, Mo. One weekend. It had a dance floor, we noticed a band setting up to play, as we drank another Bud, no cover change. As the band warmed up in walks the man, John Anderson and they played, he sang , Straight Tequila Night, it was number one on the country charts that week, you bet my wife and I danced to it , right in front of John, i could have and should have shook his hand, no shit. I told my wife something like this will never happen again. Thanks for the memories, John
We went and saw John perform years later at Buffalo Run casino, Miami, Okla. Still great. Love to see him again, sometime soon, we are not getting any younger. Lol.
In my opinion John is the most underrated under appreciated country star there is. A true legend. Maybe the greatest voice in country music history. A great vocalist, musician, songwriter.
Straight meth, molly, and robitussin dm mixed with grain alcohol and ginger ale.... What are we doing here? Fucking girl drinks? If you don't party like this you should just go to your church ice cream social and leave the night to the wolves. Tear in your beer ass fuckboyz.
it wasn't posted till 2018... you were among the first couple thousand views... feel better, it's up to 10k... patience is a virtue, virtue signalling is not...
John Anderson was one of the best pure country voices and talents in Country Music, but because he did not have model looks he was not marketed as much, but he is one of my favorites
highnrising yeah but Garth transcended country at a time when it wasn’t being done and was a super star not just a country star. Dudes right the country music world takes handsome people and makes them stars they don’t take country singers and make them stars.
I can remember hearing this song on the radio laying block on a Verizon substation third shift around 2 a.m. on a warm summer morning, What good memories.....
I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer a couple of weeks, underwent surgery to get my thyroid removed... when the anesthesiologist was injecting me something... she said it'll feel like a cocktail, I said I don't know I'm a tequila girl. She started singing bits of this song, and now I'm hooked.
Haven't been able to listen to country music in years but these classics are why people liked it to begin with. Bring back actual country music and not the current garbage.
By the start of the 1990's, John Anderson was considered a has been, who hadn't had a #1 country hit since the early 1980's with "Black Sheep." When I first heard this country classic on the radio in December 1991, I nodded my head and said to myself "this is definitely going to be a#1 Billboard country smash for John Anderson, while pointed to the radio dial. "Straight Tequila Night" indeed went #1 for John Anderson in March of 1992 and ended up with three chart toppers that year, plus two more afterwards; one in 1993 "Money In The Bank" and "I've Got It Made" in March 1994. John Anderson is now in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Hello 👋 Melinda. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
I thought of this song a few weeks ago. I love country music always have. I’m an African American woman and I’ve always loved different genre’s of music. I loved Johns voice. Very distinctive❤️ I love many country music artists just like I love blues, hip hop, Gospel, zydeco, jazz, reggae, pop, and much more✅
Can"t get enough of your voice .your music has been in our family since day one .my aunt Annie was your biggest fan and my cousin normajean Coleman of course myself I thank you for your greatest music Lynda Mae Eagle
I heard this song yesterday on a radio and now I cant stop listening it! So, hello from 2021!))) John, thanks very much for this amazing song! Im 28 and I love country music 😌❤️🔥
I worked commissary while in prison for an 80 yo woman, Ms. Boswell her instructions…”keep the store stocked and good music on that cd player” eventually I made my way to the cd player discovering GOLD, in this little 15X10 prison grocery store I discovered country. John Anderson, Don Williams, Ronnie Millsap, Clint Black oh and how could I forget Freddy Fender!! Thanks Ms. Boswell!
Hello 👋 Thanks for your comments and supports. Your comments and constant support has brought me this far, l greatly appreciate you... It's been a journey through the years. Keep supporting ♥️ Kindly text me on my mail: johnandersonmusicianband@gmail.com!

I couldn't get enough of this it was like i had to play it over & over again. When i drink beer & whiskey i crank this up full blast!
21 years old in the military stationed in North Carolina. Friday evening. Headed to The Honky Tonks with this CD playing. And a cup Full of Bourbon and Coke. My. Those were some really good days
As a Latina (and Mexican at that), I absolutely LOVE tequila nights. I will say that I’m a happy drinker. No rage, hate or anger when I drink, I just love the people I love and that’s all. Wishing lots of peace and love to everyone here all the way from Houston, TX. ❤️🧘🏻♀️
Best era of country music and im glad i saw alot of these artists live including ol john thanks to my wicked cool dad for taking me to see them when i was a kid.

T’days country is anticountry
John Anderson is a country powerhouse. None of the new country nowadays touches his talent.
i agree 100 %
1992 John Anderson made a huge comeback with this song and the Seminole Wind album, I remember like it was yesterday!
First time I heard it was driving to work at the wonderful time of 3:30 in the morning. DJ said here's a new one from John Anderson. I kinda laughed thinking back to "Swangin'" and thinking what this time. The song came on and within 5 seconds I was like.... WHOA WHOA, what is THIS?

I miss the 90s
thankyou

John anderson is one of countrys treasures. He got recognition but nowhere near what he deserves.A gentleman and a true country artist.
My cousin Cole Chaney is opening up for him here in Kentucky!! Yes, yes I’m jealous af 😂😂😩😩
wow that’s really cool! He will get a chance to meet with him!
You should go and have a great time!! He’s a great guy! I know him very well! You will not be disappointed!!
In my opinion a very underrated country artist.Golden voice!!!
Great Memories For Me .... Back To My Early 20s .... At The Country And Western Night Clubs
This one song alone blows away 99% of today's so called "country" music.
Yeah, sadly country really has gone down hill for the most part.
Better than that Morgan wallen bullshit, like rap and country 😂😂😂😂
Hi I'm from The Netherlands. Can you explain what the difference is between this country music, and modern country? Why isnt it good nowadays??
Thanks.
@tacticalsweater5119 country music died late 1990s. May it rest in peace.
Call it 100 buddy
One of the best songs in history. Period.
Listen to she sure got away with my heart. Damn.
@@jobennett7011 Who?
One of the best country songs of all time!
Who? John Anderson! Look it up! It great!
Right I agree
Top 10 country songs ever written. John Anderson is a national treasure.
I miss the days when country music was still country music.
Amen

Instead of these guys all copying each other about lifted trucks, chicks, dirt roads and beer. Gay.
They also try to copy rap/RMB music too much and talk in half the song instead of actually singing. New Country blows my balls.
Same here...😭

John Anderson a legend I remember in 1990, when I was 24
ALWAYS!!!
Heehaw. Black date

you are welcome
Love this song
Yes Sir
Agreed
Definetly
These old songs take me back to my childhood. My mom would listen to them on the radio. She's 72 now and getting feeble. Brings back good memories.

He and Keith whitley.
Congrats on being elected to the country music HOF!
Simply one of the best country singers out there. His voice is one of a kind. Never gets old listening to a legend in country.
I play this everytime I DJ a wedding. There isn't a person out there that doesn't like this song
thankyou
Lol not the best fit for a wedding but a great song yes!
Honey if you played this at a wedding I went to you would be getting a $20 from me❤❤
Well, except for, you know...*her*
I ❤ this song
Fortunately when you live in Texas there’s always a John Anderson song about to come on the radio.
Yep in Texas its standard to have John Anderson and George Strait playing regularly on the radio
& it does i drove thru ozona tx there it is on the radio & its allover the radio in port st lucie county Fl too
Right lol. There’s a 90% chance that you can find Seminole Wind, Black Sheep, or this song on one channel or another at any given time.
It’s funny considering he is a Florida boy 😂
Really? I haven't listened to the radio in a decade or better, but I wouldn't have thought so
tonight is a straight whiskey night. here's to better times folks
been hard on ppl, past 2 yrs.
Cheers buddy
Cheers
Straight vodka for me

John Anderson is so underrated
Yes I agree, great singer
And for a good reason. That voice is like nails on a god damn chalk board. It’s literally almost comical and I like older country music!!!!!
@@TylerHaskiell-fs3mx listen to Hank Williams Sr,but some of his songs are about Jesus
Not by me
@@lisaparsons4124 I like Hank! And I love Jesus
I’m only the 291st like, what a shame. John Anderson is so underrated, great singer and amazing artist.
He was amazing!!!!
thankyou
it wasn't posted till 2018... you were among the first couple thousand views... feel better, it's up to 10k... patience is a virtue, virtue signalling is not...
thankyou
I saw him in concert in 2014 and his show was beyond great
John Anderson WILL NEVER burn out!!!
❤80-90's
Good karaoke jam
AMEN!!👏🏻
youre welcome
No he won’t
Nothing from the 80s will ever burn out
This song is 30 years old and it’s still an awesome hit till today. I love you John
Omg! Time has flown by. I feel like it just came out 😂
This song will sound good no matter what year. It's called timeless
John Anderson a great singer I remember in 1992, when I was 26.
John Anderson was one of the best pure country voices and talents in Country Music, but because he did not have model looks he was not marketed as much, but he is one of my favorites
I seriously doubt that part about the marketing / reason.
I doubt his looks had anything to do with it. Toby Keith looks like a rhino and he has sold over 40 million records.
Garth didn't exactly have model looks.
@@highnrising Hey now don't be talking about Garth like that. Lol
highnrising yeah but Garth transcended country at a time when it wasn’t being done and was a super star not just a country star. Dudes right the country music world takes handsome people and makes them stars they don’t take country singers and make them stars.
Sounds the best in 2024
👇 🇺🇸💯
Id say so!! 2024 ❤
True country music God bless him
@@rickbockman7537god bless us all with the way things are going these days..
2098 got it on lock
Still listening in 2024, still a great song
Thank You John Anderson, your song as kept my spirits up. I'm getting old, your songs are keeping my spirits up.
I think we can all agree it doesnt matter what year it is this tune will always and forever be a banger.
I’m from the 407 just like John, god speed brother
Never gets old!! Am i the only one who still walks in a bar and plays this song on the jukebox 😏😂
they still have jukeboxes in America? I'd play this song everytime
I always request it.
John Anderson is a legend
Pretty good song me and my girl listening to it now
I don't go into bars but if I did, I'd surely play this song on the jukebox.
I can remember hearing this song on the radio laying block on a Verizon substation third shift around 2 a.m. on a warm summer morning, What good memories.....
One of the best country songs ever!
I Agree Senorita
@@ericfreshcorn3590 Also agree
One of the most unique voices in country music, I always know when it’s a John Anderson song within 2 seconds of hearing that beautiful unique voice!
24 year old man here and boy this music is soooo much better than what we’re dealing with nowadays.
Sturgill Simpson?
Same as a 16 year old
Agreed. I’m 44 though.
I remember when this song first came out, I couldn't get enough of it. Played the cassette over and over again.
Great song I remember in 1992, when I was 26
I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer a couple of weeks, underwent surgery to get my thyroid removed... when the anesthesiologist was injecting me something... she said it'll feel like a cocktail, I said I don't know I'm a tequila girl. She started singing bits of this song, and now I'm hooked.
I hope it went well and you're recovering.
If you're still around, cheers
Now this is country music!
Awesome singer and song writer
Haven't been able to listen to country music in years but these classics are why people liked it to begin with. Bring back actual country music and not the current garbage.
Agree. I think early 2000s I stopped. This one's gold.
Listening to this in 2021. Never gets old.
Yesssirrr
Right here with you
2021, John Anderson is so underrated still!
Absolutely!
Word!
Dang, the voice, the style! Never again. John was one of a kind.

Still sounds good in 2024!!!!
Wow! Just wow! Country at its best. John was/is still the best.
Real country!
Who else has this voice and has John's nuances. He is a blessing to us who love him.
thankyou
@@Bigrobkerr She said nuances, not nuisances and she's right. You should apologize.

This is a classic written by a legend. Never gets old 5th time listening today
This Era of Country was the 80s of Rock. Pinnacle times for music
This was my introduction to Mr John Anderson. Ended up buying his greatest hits cd. I'm not big on country but his stuff is solid!

He sounds much like Levon Helm.
One of the All Time Baritone Kings 👑 🎵🎶
After all these years still have on my favorite music list. Absolutely love it.
One of the best voices, and also a fellow Florida Native.
thankyou Apache american
2024! The extra snare 2:32 so gold!
Listening to this and John singing with Billy Joe Shaver “Get thee behind me Satan”. The music from the 80’s -2000 is real solid country.

Hell ya. Back when country was country
One of my ole time favorites. I could listen to this all day long
As a Latina (and Mexican at that), I absolutely LOVE tequila nights. I will say that I’m a happy drinker. No rage, hate or anger when I drink, I just love the people I love and that’s all. Wishing lots of peace and love to everyone here all the way from Houston, TX. ❤️🧘🏻♀️

True !! I'm not a drinker never had one but I recovered from something worse
He knows Me vary well don't ya sweetheart John Anderson.. ❤😂 TLW FLORIDA 🇱🇷
Man, I did not appreciate this era of country music as a kid. I love it now that I'm a lot older.
Such a unique voice 🤗
Only John Anderson could pull off that suit 🔥
Playing on repeat in my head lately....
*Remembering my younger years in the 70's. I am now 70 and I still love to hear these music.🎶💖*
I'm glad I found the song again I'm 53 and I love this song since I was 18
