97.7 in southern Illinois must play 4 different songs during the 9 hour workday at least. This is on the interstate 57 corridor and some of Interstate 24 in Southern Illinois. Not even better classic country station I've ever run across

I lost my first son 17 years ago when he was 3 months old to kidney failure. I went to put flowers on his grave today for the first time in years. I got into the car and this song came up on my newsfeed. I needed this song today. I have always loved John Anderson's voice since I was a kid. 😍
Yes this seems to be happening more than usual. Parents burying their children. They out flew us it's the only answer. Sorrow but we have to keep going for the ones we still have. Children nieces nephews, we have to be here for them as an older generation.❤
@stephenkarla7113 funny that you should reply today, the 2nd anniversary of my son’s death. Thank you for the kind words. So very much appreciated. Sending you love and strength.
My pops is 82 I can’t believe it, when he’s gone, I’ll rock on , can’t wait to cover this song, nevertheless, would you be ever so kind to give me your advice…
Tears well up in my eyes as I listen to this beautiful song. I was just a young boy when i first heard John sing Wild and Blue. Im 52 now and my health is failing me. This song reminds me of all the years I've lived through, good and bad. Thank you John Anderson, for yet another heartfelt song. God bless you.
There just aren’t many left who actually know what ‘real’ country music is... Thankfully, we still have a few like John Anderson who still know. This song hits the soul, deeply.
Country has been lost for a long time....it just doesn't get any better than this man. You can't even tell from listening to today's country who the artists are. You only need to hear a few notes and you know who this is. That is country...definable by i's greatest voices. Bring it on!
It does that, and somehow also manages to be a better rock song than mainstream too. I don't consider much artwork stunning. Mr Anderson however generates it often.
I feel like you have to lived a certain amount to create great music. The ones that win a contest to get a contract got a short cut and it shows. This song has a sentiment to it I feel it probably comes from his heart , he some health issues. Great song.
Yes John made it to the top of the mountain in the life of musical achievement, but he has got to be one of the most underrated country music icons there ever was, He should be and deserves to be spoken about like all other legends, Merle, Johnny, George, Conway, Kris, willie etc etc etc the Man is a timeless act and his music will live on long after he turns back to dust.

Don't make these multi-millionaires any richer than they already are.....Don't buy their music....Go to your local library and rent out his cd.Then rip a copy to your computer for FREE.Then burn yourself a copy to play and download whenever and wherever you wish.All for FREE.He's already a rich man.These country music stars are lucky we even listen to their stuff at all....Let alone pay for it.....Nothing against him but I'm a poor bastard who works 3 jobs and I still sleep in my car.He's not gonna send his grandkids to college on my dime.🤣😆🤣🤣😆🤣!!!!!
@@pennywise8182 it's called capitalism. Most everything in your world that you use and like has come from someone busting their ass and getting rewarded with copyrights, patents, or royalties for it. Can you imagine what you would have to listen to if everyone had the same view as you and never paid for music. When you buy the music, it doesn't all go to the artist. A small portion may go to a creative mind that wrote it that may possibly be struggling to get by in this world such as yourself. Not all artists are songwriters singing only their songs.

After all the years that he’s been singing he hasn’t lost his voice. He has the voice of his late 20s. It’s amazing to think his voice will always be in the world even after death
WOW a modern country song that doesn't once talk about getting drunk in the back of a pickup truck on a dirt road........who thought this would sell in 2020??
Damn this is sobering. Look how young he was in those pictures! When he was young I'll bet he never imagined he'd see the day when he would be an old graybeard with grandchildren running around. You never think about getting older and closer to the grave, but it's always coming.
John anderson has been my in my heart and life since i heard swinging when i was five years old the song years has truly saved my life and soul it is by far more moving and truthful than anything ive heard in my life i love you mr Anderson so sum body slap me
I've been fortunate to see live in concert of so many legends of County music , Cash, Waylon, Jones, Merle,, Tammy, Loretta Nelson, and the list goes on and on .. I'm a lucky man to have John Anderson on that list. Thank you for all the years of music John.
Not a huge fan of country music but this transcends genres. Beautiful message put to wonderful music. Sierra Ferrell’s cover of this led me to check out John. 💙💙💙
Just like everything else John does... this song is unforgettable, and an instant classic. Long after everyone has forgotten about the crap country over the last 20 years, he'll still be remembered and listened too, along with Reba, Dolly, Vince, Johnny, Wayland, all the George's, and Garth.
It’s too bad county music isn’t like this anymore. I love all of these old timers. Most all of the new stuff sucks ass in my opinion. But then again I guess I’m getting old and things change.
im 23 and i can tell you its not you new country is ass. Guys like john are the reason i picked up the guitar and started playing these old songs. New country is more worried about what their trucks look like then what their lives look like.
You just haven’t found the right guys. Stay away from the radio. Check out Cody jinks, Tyler Childers, and whisky Myers. Plenty of good country still being put out.
Hey Tyler! Thanks for listening, we love hearing how well the song has resonated with you! Don't forget you can pre-save the new album out 4/10 here! johnanderson.lnk.to/YearsAlbumID
John was the soundtrack of my spring break in college in the early 80s. Honestly, I didn’t recognize him in the picture, but we all have lived a lot of years since then.
Seminole wind sung by him has always been one of my favorites. This is Anderson's version of Hurt when Cash covered it. Fantastic and I hope he has many more years
John Anderson did a great version but Johnny Cash just absolutely nailed that Nine Inch Nails song, even Trent Reznor was quoted as saying Johnny Cash done a better version than the original. I was a metalhead and discovered country music largely thanks to Johnny Cash and John Anderson covering a Nine Inch Nails song.
WOW. Such a deeply meaningful, beautiful song! John still sounds as good as he did in the 80s, when I first started loving his music after hearing Swingin. For those who don't know, John almost died (he did flat-line), had a terrible & mysterious illness in 2017 & 2018, lost his hearing for many months. A friend introduced him to the producer who produced this album. John wasn't sure he could do it, but they believed in him. Makes this song even more meaningful! And his wonderful wife was by his side through it all. Bless him & his family, I pray they'll have many more years together, & he'll have a lot more music to share with us!
John Anderson. One HELL of a man. "And if I pass away tomorrow, all the folks that knew me well can say well, boy he sure lived like he wanted to live."
GOD BLESS YOU Mr. Anderson!! I played bass in Country bands for YEARS since 1987... I've lost all my family and most friends.. The guitar player I worked with for 30+ years RON OLSON passed away in 2020.. I worked with AL READ, ROY CLAYBOURNE, and KEITH KEYS They've all passed away.. This song helps me to cope JOHN! Thank you my good buddy.. You've helped me so much with your music and perseverance.. All of my love to you and your family Mr. ANDERSON!
Put this man in the Country Music Hall of Fame !!!!!! Just saw him in Vegas at the Golden Nugget and he did an epic acoustic concert. What a voice. Been a fan since I was a kid in the 80's. Keep up the great work Sir!
I'm not much of a country music fan (folk, folk-rock, rock), but I have always, always liked John Anderson. Good advice here (I'm 76!). My favorite song of his is Siminole Wind.
Mr. Anderson has always been a legend in my eyes and I think through the "Years" he has been overlooked sometimes for some of the flashier and louder stars. His music has a passion and fire that comes straight from his soul. Thank you again sir for another masterpiece.
In the early 80s a friend of mine left a cassette tape at my apt. I told him and he said keep it and listen to it. It was John anderson. I loved all the songs on that tape. I still have it somewhere! Lol I listen to him on utube. But this one YEARS I had never heard . Really like it.

I've been fortunate to see live in concert of so many legends of County music , Cash, Waylon, Jones, Merle,, Tammy, Loretta Nelson, and the list goes on and on .. I'm a lucky man to have John Anderson on that list. Thank you for all the years of music John.
John Anderson! Wow! Most consistent artist ever to his roots! Maybe hasn’t ever really gotten the credit he deserves! Timeless voice!
I agree, don't think he ever got the credit he deserves
Damn strait
Not a huge fan of country music but this transcends genres. Beautiful message put to wonderful music. Sierra Ferrell’s cover of this led me to check out John. 💙💙💙
Why was John never truly recognized for his outstanding voice? Definitely one of the best in country music!
Hello stacey
He wasn't a sell out to the liberal music industry
Kick ass, that voice didn't change a bit. One of the REAL country artist. Thank you sir
John Anderson sang the songs of my life. Love ya John. May God bless and keep you and yours.
The years have gone by, but his voice hasn't aged a day. He's still got pipes like no other.
Just like everything else John does... this song is unforgettable, and an instant classic. Long after everyone has forgotten about the crap country over the last 20 years, he'll still be remembered and listened too, along with Reba, Dolly, Vince, Johnny, Wayland, all the George's, and Garth.
Still such a smooth, sweet voice. Down to earth and salt of the earth.
John Anderson is still one of the greatest that ever sung country. Thank you for all the great memories John
Hello how are you doing?

@@tunias4me2 It’s my pressure meeting you here on UA-cam. Where are you from and where do you live?
When you stay”true to yourself “ in the music industry, you get trampled by commercialism, thank you John Anderson for standing true
The best country singer for the last fourth years ,never let’s you downs with his music and voice
Always loved John’s music. Still do.
It’s too bad county music isn’t like this anymore. I love all of these old timers. Most all of the new stuff sucks ass in my opinion. But then again I guess I’m getting old and things change.
im 23 and i can tell you its not you new country is ass. Guys like john are the reason i picked up the guitar and started playing these old songs. New country is more worried about what their trucks look like then what their lives look like.
guess were both getting old my friend.
I guess I couldn’t have said it better
You just haven’t found the right guys. Stay away from the radio. Check out Cody jinks, Tyler Childers, and whisky Myers. Plenty of good country still being put out.
Hunter Brimhall i don’t mind luke combs most of the time either.
It don't get no better than John Anderson. A true musician and a gifted artist. I tip my hat to you sir!
A true Country legend
Wow. life just flashed back brought a tear to my eye.
Me too.
😪❤
Same here, it really hit me how fast life goes. Incredible song!
Mark D I ask my family to play this song at my funeral when my time is up.
Word up bro
Can't mix that voice up with anybody else! Some of his songs gave me chills when I first heard them as a teen,25 years later no different
Amen
I know that's right. His voice brings back memories, love him
Yup same here
We all Love John Anderson.
This is what nostalgia sounds and feels like. It's like reliving an old memory. John Anderson, still killing after all these years.
Hey Tyler! Thanks for listening, we love hearing how well the song has resonated with you! Don't forget you can pre-save the new album out 4/10 here! johnanderson.lnk.to/YearsAlbumID
@@EasyEyeSound I bought the album as soon as it came out. Listened to it from start to finish and enjoyed every second.
John Anderson is a one of a kind voice you'll never forget he's in his 60's and still making wonderful songs
John was the soundtrack of my spring break in college in the early 80s. Honestly, I didn’t recognize him in the picture, but we all have lived a lot of years since then.
Seminole wind sung by him has always been one of my favorites. This is Anderson's version of Hurt when Cash covered it. Fantastic and I hope he has many more years
I thought the same thing
John Anderson did a great version but Johnny Cash just absolutely nailed that Nine Inch Nails song, even Trent Reznor was quoted as saying Johnny Cash done a better version than the original. I was a metalhead and discovered country music largely thanks to Johnny Cash and John Anderson covering a Nine Inch Nails song.
this song not being nominated for something once again shows the lunacy of the mainstream country music industry
AMEN to that!!
WOW. Such a deeply meaningful, beautiful song! John still sounds as good as he did in the 80s, when I first started loving his music after hearing Swingin. For those who don't know, John almost died (he did flat-line), had a terrible & mysterious illness in 2017 & 2018, lost his hearing for many months. A friend introduced him to the producer who produced this album. John wasn't sure he could do it, but they believed in him. Makes this song even more meaningful! And his wonderful wife was by his side through it all. Bless him & his family, I pray they'll have many more years together, & he'll have a lot more music to share with us!
John Anderson has as always been underrated in country music. From one proud Florida boy to another, thank you John.
I'm a 59 year old fart from. Gainesville. FL living in the mountains of. T. N this is pure southern music it will live on you can't stop it
Our souls needed this song. Thank you John.
John Anderson. One HELL of a man. "And if I pass away tomorrow, all the folks that knew me well can say well, boy he sure lived like he wanted to live."
“I like this young man because it sounds like he has a foot pedal in his throat”- waylon jennings
Amen
Jon Mitchell I’m sure he did
Jon Mitchell February 13, 2001
That's EXACTLY what went through my mind!!!
@@Chicken_Wing91 2002
Wow his voice is better than ever. John has a unique voice no one like him.
As good as ever......if we could have a concert man, it would be country again like it used to be. I Wish I could've been there for that...AMEN!!!
GOD BLESS YOU Mr. Anderson!! I played bass in Country bands for YEARS since 1987... I've lost all my family and most friends.. The guitar player I worked with for 30+ years RON OLSON passed away in 2020.. I worked with AL READ, ROY CLAYBOURNE, and KEITH KEYS They've all passed away.. This song helps me to cope JOHN! Thank you my good buddy.. You've helped me so much with your music and perseverance.. All of my love to you and your family Mr. ANDERSON!
Put this man in the Country Music Hall of Fame !!!!!! Just saw him in Vegas at the Golden Nugget and he did an epic acoustic concert. What a voice. Been a fan since I was a kid in the 80's. Keep up the great work Sir!
I'm not much of a country music fan (folk, folk-rock, rock), but I have always, always liked John Anderson. Good advice here (I'm 76!). My favorite song of his is Siminole Wind.
His voice is so unique. Never heard anything like it.
Mr. Anderson has always been a legend in my eyes and I think through the "Years" he has been overlooked sometimes for some of the flashier and louder stars. His music has a passion and fire that comes straight from his soul. Thank you again sir for another masterpiece.
@Matthew Jacobs his music has always reached me on a deep level. I agree that he deserves more credit. This song hit me hard.
In the early 80s a friend of mine left a cassette tape at my apt. I told him and he said keep it and listen to it. It was John anderson. I loved all the songs on that tape. I still have it somewhere! Lol I listen to him on utube. But this one YEARS I had never heard . Really like it.
👊🏼🙏🏼
He's one of the best country artist there ever was hands down he is and always will be respected

Hello Tracy
Apopka Fl. In the 70's - Francis Russ said " That John is going to do good for his self, he just needs a haircut".
He never got that haircut, but he did pretty good for himself.
Miss you uncle Francis!
Glad Hohn never got that hair cut!!
This man raised me. I had a fuv#ed up up bringing . I could always count on country music. Thank you John Anderson for saving my life.
His voice hasn’t changed. Music greatness.
Thanks Mr Henderson We love you Deep South TX Brownsville TX South Padre Island Texas 80s

Never get tired listening to John!
Love this! Reminds me of my father…. ❤❤❤
This tribute album that was recently put out was a message to John to let him know that his music has been an inspiration for so many artists and fans. This is your appreciation party, Mr. Anderson! We love you.
Sierra Ferrell’s rendition of years was so different but great in its own way
@@Ian00003 Agreed. But the song just carries so much more weight coming out of Anderson's mouth. Sierra's great, but she just can't carry a song like this...yet.
Man sturgil killed it in that album
@@Ian00003 It's eerie and also beautiful. Love it
John's music is comfort food for the soul.
