Carl Smith is my all time favorite country singer. He is so handsome and has a great personality on stage. No one can take his place. Genuine and one of a kind. Thanks.
I guess very few or no one in my country Turkey knows the name Carl Smith. I grew up hearing the song hey joe since 1971. my father, who studied in American schools and died in a car accident in 1985, raised us with this char. I listen every night
Some of u folks say RIP, I'm from Algeria for those who know the country and I think Carl is still alive, and Carl is here to stay, he dwells right in my heart.
Johnny Sibert. One of the most underrated steel guitarists ever. Listen to his playing behind the vocals. That is the hallmark of a musician period. Not getting in the way, but allowing the instrument to complement what’s happening out front.
My grandma used to sing all these old songs and I am kicking myself for not looking this stuff up and playing it for her when she had dementia really bad before she died. However it's nice to sing along with the memories... I always thought the song was "Heeey Joe! Whur'd you get you get that curly girl? Whur'd you git that heart I thought wuz mine. C'mon now Joe!"
Carl Smith was the former husband of June Carter, who later married Johnny Cash. Hey Joe got to #1 in the UK Singles Chart for Frankie Laine in October 1953, and was only the thirteenth song to do so. Carl Smith died on 16 January 2010, aged 82.
@@jennifursun3303 You ladies love Carl and I can understand why. He certainly caught June Carter's eye - watch those old Gannaway color films of the Opry Stars playing in Bradley's "Barn" around 1953-54. She is flirting with him heavy! They eventually married and had Carlene Carter as their daughter! He sure does have those blue eyes! A single neck "lap" steel, whether played with a strap or on legs standing up, was real flat , so I guess one thought you could make biscuits on it! lol Cousin Jody (check him out on those Gannaway films also) called his that and so maybe the term came from him. A pedal steel like Johnny Siebert's playing here is also called "an electric table"!
@@dannyc1174 ok makes sense to me and I did know that he and June got married. what is really funny is after Carl married his second wife he dropped out of the business and never told anyone else that he used to sing
@@oldermusiclover Yes Ginny. His second wife was 50's country singer Goldie Hill, who I really like. There are clips of her singing on those Albert Gannaway color "Stars of the Grand Ol' Opry" films from 1953-54. She came from a musical family - he brother Tommy Hill was a good Nashville musician and esp a recording engineer. And, yes, Carl did drop out of the music biz to cut horses on his TN farm. I think him and Goldie were happy with that.
@@dannyc1174 they seemed to be have heard this story about another country singer who also sort of dropped out of sight and never told people they were a well known singer
I'm dedicating this song to my stepson and good buddy,Joe Stapo. I just hope my gorgeous daughter records and plays this to him....even only once,cause they hate Country Music!
I love this song...brings back so many memories of my Dad singing it, playing his guitar on the Jam sessions my parents would have....I so miss those times
This song reminds me of milking time in the barn with the music from an old clock radio covered with fly poop 40 cows 3 surge miking machines. Hubble hill road margaretville ny Love it
Carl was one of my favorite old timers, but all were distinct and I knew who was singing the song instantly, unlike todays bubble gum songs and singers. Country music was for mature audiences of all ages if you know what I mean. I had to ask my mom what some words and phrases meant, when I was a kid, now it’s just silly words that are meaningless.
Carl looks and sounds great here at only age 41. Daughter Carlene sure got a lot of his looks! Love him and Roy Acuff (both hailing from Maynardville, TN, as Roy points out) joking about steel man Johnny Sibert in relation to ol' Cousin Jody (Clell Summey), who did play the "lap" steel "bisquit board" and had no teeth - but when asked about the steel, Carl says that Johnny got it from Shot Jackson and note Johnny's look...nope, that's an Emmons he's playing not a Sho-Bud. I read the other comments - I think Carl's guitar is a modified Gibson - and, yes, a young Billy Linneman on the upright bass. Anyway, great job by Carl who had at least another 10 yrs in his career before retiring to his horse ranch with then wife Goldie Hill.
"I think Carl's guitar is a modified Gibson...". I am not a Gibson fan but am certain Gibson never created a monstrosity like the guitar played by Carl Smith in this video. I think Carl Smith is playing a Guild.
@@Teachering I don't believe it's a Guild...and it might not be a Gibson, either - could be custom built. It does have a Diamond Hatch or "Split Diamond" headstock inlay (or version thereof) and also the split parallelogram neck inlays like Les Pauls or other hi-end Gibsons. The truss rod cover doesn't really look like either make. Also different double pickguards. The closest look at the headstock is when Carl refers to his steel man, Johnny Siebert, as "the one who's coming in to sit down now". but if you pause the image at that point it's blurry. Of course Carl played a Frank Gay acoustic for years, which was real gaudy.
Even though he was primarily a country western singer, Carl Smith co-wrote two popular mainstream pop hit songs, "Rescue Me" and " Your Love is lifting me higher and higher"
@@joedidit3233 Which one was a member of your family: Carl Smith the country singer or Carl Smith the R&B producer/songwriter? Do you have multiple personality condition?
Great performance by Carl and his musicians (not shown except the steel guitar player), in D. Thanks for upload. Jo (and not "Joey"). Best wishes from France (Europe).
@@lljsullins9181 Last December they closed it up because they had limited control since the owner was inactive. They made a new one I can invite you on discord if you want
Carl Smith came to Vancouver with a group of other stars in the late 60s or early 70s . Between songs some wag walked up to the stage and offered Carl $5 to get a haircut . Carl reached down , snatched the bill , and smartly put it in his pocket and started the song !
I loved this song and was looking for the lyrics when I was confronted with Jim's version. I looked at those words and all I can say is it is a prefect example of the decline in our country and respect for life.
@@commontater8630 Correct, but it has a version of the Diamond Hatch or "Split Diamond" headstock inlay and the neck inlays are split parallelograms like on hi-end Gibsons/Les Pauls. This could be a custom-built as Carl also played a Frank Gay acoustic for years and those were custom built for a number of Opry stars.
@@dannyc1174 Yes, the neck and headstock inlays are very Gibson-like, but the logo doesn't look at all like Gibson. While I can't make out the individual letters, the general shape is definitely Guild-like. The guitar is kind of a custom mishmash, I guess.
Johnny Sibert, Carl's signature Steeler from day one til the early 70s, Sibert left Smith's band in the early 70s over a salary dispute, Smith's sound was never the same after that.
@@strawberryroan1941 Yeah, and Carl refers to Shot Jackson regarding it....ah whoops!....that would be a Sho-Bud, Carl. Watch Johnny Siebert look up at him when Carl says that! Johnny's playing an Emmons!

Carl had a great stage presence, was very handsome, love that twinkle in his eye and has a great voice to boot!
One of the best to do It!!
You're a big fan of the oldies!!
true and when He left music he never told his new friends he was a singer as I recall he started raising horses
I do like his magneticed toupe 😊

A great country song that my Dad played on guitar, and sang at family get-togethers. fuzzy
Dear Lord what a totally handsome man 🥰
One of the greatest singers of country
You gotta love this country version of a song that was made famous by Jimmie Hendrix. Cuddos to Carl Smith for picking it up.
Just amazing.
Love this man.

Best singer ever ❤️
The steel guitar. Made me become a musician. Loved it.

I'm so sorry. I'm praying for you.
May your memories of him bring you comfort.

nice instrumnets 🍯❣️
No but it's a classic and I saw him do it live!
what a pretty guild
This looks like the end my friend!!! LOL LOL LOL!!!
for a minute I thought he was going to play Jimi Hendrix "Hey Joe."
reminds me of the actor, Royal Dano.
The boys I went to school with looked like him.
I loved this song and was looking for the lyrics when I was confronted with Jim's version. I looked at those words and all I can say is it is a prefect example of the decline in our country and respect for life.
The Best Voice and his band ! What kind of guitar is that? TY
Good night! Ya can't get Roy off the stage. 😕
1:12 for anyone
A Joe
ILLEGAL UPLOAD?
YUP!
I like Moe bandy and Joe stampley's version of the song better this one's still good too
My moms cousin.
Hendrix went to MJ's skin pigmentation clinic

I'm not sure but Hank Williams used to refer to any big selling record as earning him alot of beans and biscuits. So maybe they mean a money maker.
