Song got a lot of airplay when it came out on Chicago pop radio around 1963. Meant a lot to me growing up. Great arrangement and guitar. Heartfelt and soulful singing. Classic. Had relatives and family in the service that related to it.
Sorry for your loss. The loss Of a Mother is about the worst it gets. I lost my Mom Dec. 19 2019 . She always loved us all getting together for Christmas. Didn't make it that time. I miss her so much. Dad died a couple years before. They were in their mid nineties. God bless you and yours.
This takes me back 25 years to the night my Viet Vet husband died - we played it for him in the hours before he died. It touches me just as much now as it did that night. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Grandfather's are the best. My grandfather passed away in 1969. I was 11 years old. The one gift he gave me still lives in my heart. He introduced me to country music. Still today real country music is still alive in my home.
@roddycreswell8613 he's saying thanks Bob Dylan because it's the first song Bob Dylan mentions in his book the philosophy of song that's what brought me here too...🙃

I was born in 1964 and have heard Bobby Bare's name all my life, remember my dad mentioning him. When I listened to this it was familiar, but I had never given it my full attention until now. I grew up with rock'n'roll and am picky about country, but this is exactly the kind I like. Honest emotion. Thank you, Mr. Dylan, for the suggestion.
This is the first song analyzed by Bob Dylan in his book "The Philosophy of Modern Song." I hadn't heard of it, so I came hear to listen. I think many people will visit this site for the same reason. @@jodywilke4642
My grandma was ecstatic she could find this music on UA-cam, I remember her wondering if this was to be found anywhere and I found it here on UA-cam and played it and she asked to play it again! She recalls leaving her hometown and her love (my grandpa who she’d marry later) and this song played on the radio station and she cried and cried! It Worked out in the end and they just had their 50th anniversary this May.
I hadn't heard this song in awhile but it came up on my SiriusXM while driving across Arizona. Such a great song! I definitely like the classic country sound. The arrangements, lyrics and "pure clean sound" of the singers voices. Great music!

AMEN to that, cleanliness. That good 'ol sound of country music transiting from old style to new sounds in modern country & western music was the true ticket to a sound that was real heart, soul, and purity that turned this style music from plain entertainment to a much higher form of art. We are truly blessed to be able to hear it and deeply ENJOY it as well. 💫

Here is what I have seen on this: Quote from (Bobby) Bare from the Toledo Free Press (TFP) web site. TFP: Who came up with that twangy guitar intro for “Detroit City? Bare: That came from the demo of that record. Billy Grammar recorded it, and that riff was on acoustic guitar. I heard that on the radio driving down Sunset Boulevard, and I thought, “That's the greatest song I've ever heard in my whole life.” I stopped the car to listen to it, and as soon as I got back to Nashville, I recorded it. Boots Randolph and Charlie McCoy played that intro on electric guitars.
When I was about three I'd throw tantrums crying and shouting "I want to go home" and my dad would laugh when this song would come on. He'd say "that's Michaels song" lol... good memories.
I once had a dream that I was actually singing this song on stage, I had 3 others who were singing with me and a piano player who played the accompaniment who also sang along to the chorus parts.

This could be the story of the my mother's brothers - during the 20s and 30s, they all left Kentucky for De-troit City, made more money than they could imagine and ended up alcoholics. "By day I make the cars and by night I make the bars."

Me, by reading Bob Dylan's The Philosophy of Modern Song❤
Lots of folks

Right here, good buddy

Every soldier loves this song.
I met Bobby Bare twice, he performed in a nearby city. I played in the house band at a club and we backed him. Very nice man.
A great song by a real classic country music 🎶 singer.

TO MY DEAREST MOTHER WHO I MISS SO MUCH MAY SHE REST IN PEACE
I'd like to add my mother as well. I miss her terribly.

We Vietnam vets love this song
And we love you vets.
Thank you and God bless you.
This takes me back 25 years to the night my Viet Vet husband died - we played it for him in the hours before he died. It touches me just as much now as it did that night. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
My grandpa was a Vietnam vet. He also loved this song.
Yes, just brought up at my dad (2 bronze star and other metaled vet) funeral.
Welcome Home, Johnny
My grandfather would sing this song in the grain truck, he passed on in 97 and its always good to hear this classic song

This song starts by making you feel like it's gonna be an upbeat happy song. It's pretty sad if you ask me. I like it. Thanks, Bob Dylan 💓
Having the right artist perform the song is just as important as the one who wrote it. Why do fail to give Mr Bare his dues?

My Spanish in freshman year played this song a lot! Such a great song from the 1960's!!
I miss these old songs with the spoken breaks.
Thx for having the comment section open, you tube closed all commentsection on official music topics, now you cant discuss about your favoured songs.
Daddy always said this was my song because anytime we went anywhere I didn't want to be, I'd always say, "I wanna go home..."
Bobby is the best music player ever heard of this song
Timeless song for ever.

Tuto melodii zpívá v CZ pan Karel Hála. Je to boží. Děkuji za originál. Má v sobě něco co je fain.
After moving out of the city, this song had a slightly different meaning in my home. We'd sing, " I wanna go home to Detroit City..." lol
@Anne. You're right, by the way, how was your weekend.

이곡은 너무 좋아요.
But by day I make the cars, by night I make the bars favorire line
The first 10 seconds are beautiful to hear!! I have it on loop 🔁
Yes, the intro is timeless and evocative of all that is country somehow...
Bobby bare in mind for the best and most of all the way of songs
I love you Dad!
I used to hear that song alot they were the good oldies
