I was so glad when I heard this playing on the radio on our way to Wyoming. I was hooked with just one song and then I wEnt out and got the cassette and having been eNjoying the band ever since. Henry does have a wonderful voice ❤
This is so true, I lost my grandfather on 8/15/19 and my mother on 3/8/20, and this song is all about perspectives. I'm hurting down here but they are happy and seeing beautiful things that we cant even fathom. I love you mom, give Grandpa a hug for me.
Guys, me to, this reminds me of my grandmother and my parents who are all in heaven now. It’s very Hard sometimes without them. I lost my mom this year in April. The hardest thing I have ever done was watch them take their last breath. We miss our family. It does hurt Jeremy but I believe we’ll be with them again. I was with my mom everyday. When she passed I felt like I didn’t have a purpose anymore. It’s been a rough month with Christmas, mom wasn’t there or dad. I hope you start feeling better, the holidays are hard. Feel better ok, just know Thurber wat hung over you!!!😊
28 years went by. I wanted to take my kids to see them in 1996 in Las Vegas, but that was impossible because I didn't have them that weekend...family court ruins families. Now I live in the Arizona mountains and my son Mark is in the Utah mountains. Thanks for the beautiful music. I can't stop crying.😢 ❤
Yep , I'm on the 50/50 bro , I get them on Wednesday night for 2 and half hours for dinner on my off week,, so many times I see something I'd like to take the boys to but it's her weekend, the government and family court has ruined the American family,, broken home rates are getting out of control
@@allen4758 yep family Court's a big piece of s***. I did manage to facilitate judge Jones in Las Vegas going to prison for 2 years. He was a corrupt crook and took Millions from the elderly very sad for the children in moms and dads
I so enjoyed listening to the Band Blackhawk live. They sounded identical to their studio recordings. Awesome talent!! I would love the opportunity to hear them live again. Rest in heaven Van Harrison. 🙏❤️🎶🙏❤️🎶
Here I am in 2020... I really wish other artists knew how to play with their music and their own voices like these guys. Hands down underrated PS I didn't mean play with their music like the way we're seeing electronically I meant musical tricks
Saw them at Frontier Days, incredible concert. In this song, "That's Just About Right" the longer hair blonde fella playing guitar formed the group McBride and the Ride. They had several good hit songs.
@Rob on bass I unfortunately knew that Van passed away, but I didn't know that he was in this band, and I remember hearing this song in the '90's especially at work, because we listened to country music on Mondays. I only knew of Van from his 1984 hit Modern Day Delilah.
This song reminds me of my best friend. She passed in March. In the 90s we listened to this tape all the time. Cruised around town. Miss her so much. Hearing this song makes me smile and cry.
Wont find harmony like these 3 now a days. The way they compliment each others voices is absolutely incredible ❤ Makes me sad that music has strayed so far away from this kind of sincere talent 😢
I have to admit, when this song came out, I never paid particular attention to the words. I loved the music, the beat as you will. Here recently my ears were opened, as they say. Thank you sirs, (Blackhawk) as it is such a true description of our lives! It's Just About Right! Thank you!
Yep, I get what you’re saying. I listen to a lot of country music from the late 80s through early 2000s. Then for at least a decade I barely listen to any of this, now that I’m back into it I realize there’s a lot of songs I was hearing without really comprehending.
I miss this music!! I just typed in the search bar 90s country and this popped up a few songs later! The nostalgia hit me hard with this song! I know things change, but I still miss this!
Real life he says is the hardest impression It’s always moving so I let it come through That my friend I say is the glory of true independence Just to do what you do, what you do, what you do
Henry Paul IS the Greatest Stroy Teller in Music... BlackHawk was the Perfect Canvas for his artistry... and I can Not Get enough BlackHawk! Thank you Gentlemen!! BROVO!!!
I saw them live as well in Kansas. Before the show, they were at the K Mart signing their CD. I told myself "If I'm getting so close to them, I'm gonna get me some hugs!" Well, I went down the line and hugged them all. They smelled so good. Well, I guess I started quite a stir cause all the other girls in line started hugging them too. Even the girls that already got their autographs got back in line to get some hugs too! LOL. My husband just walked away. I found him in another part of Kmart talking to one of his friends. I walked up to him and said "UMMM I CAN STILL SMELL THEM....... He told his friend "I gotta get her out of here" Went to the show that night and they were awesome!
THIS is country! Brings back so much memories of when I was a kid and my whole family was at the house for a bbq, all my cousins, uncle's, aunt's... I'm still young but life isn't as simple as it was back then. I miss those days.
Hey, that older man in the background... his friend, the guy he is singing about. That's Howard Finnster. I'm not sure about the spelling of his last name, but he's a known folk artist. No training, he was a preacher and started painting, very cool stuff. No longer alive though, but his 'garden' he created still exists, I believe. I'd love to see it.
This song is dedicated to Howard Finster of Paradise Gardens. He was a Folk Artist among many of the wonderful talents he had. Ive lived my whole life where this song was taken place in the Great Chattooga County. When my grand father was little Howard Finster gave him a little car that he made and hand painted, and my grand mother still has it till this day. Long live Howard Finster. Rest easy Sir.
My old friend, Lives up in the mountains He flew up there to paint the world He says, "Even though interpretation's what I count on, this little picture to me seems blurred" "Hard lines and the shadows come easy I see them all just as clear as a bell I just can't seem to set my easel to please me; I paint my Heaven, but it looks like Hell" Your blue might be gray, your less might be more Your window to the world might be your own front door Your shiniest day might come in the middle of the night That's just about right He says, "Man, I ain't comin' down 'til my picture is perfect And all the wonder has gone from my eyes" Down through my hands and onto the canvas, Still like my vision but still a surprise" "Real life", he says, "is the hardest impression It's always movin' so I let it come through" "And that", I say, "is the glory of true independence" "Just do what you do what you just gotta do" Your blue might be gray, your less might be more Your window to the world might be your own front door Your shiniest day might come in the middle of the night That's just about right My friend came down from the mountain Without even looking, he found a little truth "You can go through life with the greatest intentions; but you do what you do what you just gotta do" (Yeah) Your blue might be gray, your less might be more Your window to the world might be your own front door Your shiniest day might come in the middle of the night That's just about right
I pray that the lead guy of this awesome act is having himself a safe and awesome 74th birthday today (August 25th). God bless him and the remaining member always!!! Holly in east TN (one of their many fans) P.S. Van is still very much missed.
I just seen them in concert last Saturday here in Oklahoma and omg! They legit sound the same! I have been a fan of them since I was a lil girl and my daddy rode bulls. This covert was good for my soul and made me cry!
Heard this song on radio for first time a few days ago on digital country music station in Australia. LOVE THIS SONG - 25 years have past - and I missed it.
Got to see these guys in concert a few years ago at the world's only corn Palace in Mitchell South Dakota. Was an absolutely amazing concert still love these guys
Real life, he says, is the hardest impression/It’s always movin’, so I let it come through/That my friend I say is the glory of true independence/Just to do what you do/what you do/what you do. I tell ya, you could do worse…A LOT worse…trying to devise a simple rule for achieving true happiness. Superb insight in a superb song.
I miss the good old days listening to old country takes me back to the best times of my life I miss my mom and my uncle so much and my dad is very bad sick now it hurts so much
My mom's best friend dated Henry Paul back in the day lol we would always go to their shows when I was a kid. This band was my childhood.. my favorite song then being "Big Guitar" - now this is my favorite song. very nostalgic for me, so many great memories. was born 1994 lol
"Your shiniest day might come in the middle of the night." Poetry, pure and simple.
His voice makes the band. Not many country singers got a voice like he does. Just wow. I sure do miss the old country music
No one has a voice like Henry, it's beautiful
Marty Robbins is another good example, voice like the softest blanket after a long hard day.
Henry used to sing in the outlaws. They have a little bit of rock n blues in their blood.
Henry is a great vocalist ❤️🧡💛💚💙
I was so glad when I heard this playing on the radio on our way to Wyoming. I was hooked with just one song and then I wEnt out and got the cassette and having been eNjoying the band ever since. Henry does have a wonderful voice ❤
Henry Paul has a rock and roll soul. I've enjoyed all of his music in all bands.
This is what country music should sound like; it never gets old
Absolutely!!!!!
Blackhawk is probably the greatest three part harmony band of all time.
That's Just About Right. :P
Except for Restless Heart.
I second that
How about Restless Heart?
I have always said this. You just don't get music like this anymore. SMH!!!!
This band was soooo underrated. Seen them live, and it was EPIC!
Me too! It happened to be on my 21st birthday. Memory of a lifetime. I'll be 40 this year 🎉❤
Where at and how big was the crowd?
I'm about to be 40 too! It was a fair in southern Utah. Best show I ever seen!
Completely agree!!!! Lyrics and harmony, unreal!!! When music was real music! ❤
Every track on their albums were hits and true country songs. Not a single bad track.
This is about the most perfect music you can ask for. True and pure.
Right on!
Absolutely agree
When they sang rock and roll they were awesome too. ( outlaws) green grass and high tides was an awesome song. They're great musicians
Back when country was country and not like the stuff of today which is CUNTry.
I sure wish country was still like the 90s !
I do too!!!!
... and every other genre of music 🤣🤷🏻♀️
You mean like any time but now
Absolutely!
Just about right 👍
Blackhawk is amazing. Van Stephenson is missed. Like van told the guys, don't give up don't do it. Keep making new music! God bless you guys!
It doesn't sound the same without Van, still love Henry -& Dave, but to me Blackhawk magic is gone
Miss you van
2019 and still one of the best country bands EVER
2020
Damn straight
2021!
Agree!
2022 coming up in a few weeks :(
Which country still sounded like this got to love 90s country
This is so true, I lost my grandfather on 8/15/19 and my mother on 3/8/20, and this song is all about perspectives. I'm hurting down here but they are happy and seeing beautiful things that we cant even fathom. I love you mom, give Grandpa a hug for me.

My first concert was Blackhawk must have been about 1996 one of my all time favorites

Exactly
Now still here 2022

Where are the legends at that are still jamming to Blackhawk in 2021?
#90sCountry
Now that's completely perfect for the '90s and country music 🎵🎶! Such the great group for these ones!
Saw them last night 2024 still killing it!!
Prayers for Van's fam! Such the most underrated band ever!
Finally someone mentions Van .... Hard to believe he has been gone for like 21 years ... Where did time go
@Rob on bass I unfortunately knew that Van passed away, but I didn't know that he was in this band, and I remember hearing this song in the '90's especially at work, because we listened to country music on Mondays. I only knew of Van from his 1984 hit Modern Day Delilah.
This song reminds me of my best friend. She passed in March. In the 90s we listened to this tape all the time. Cruised around town. Miss her so much. Hearing this song makes me smile and cry.
I'm sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss. Thank the Lord for good memories 💜
I was just doing the same thing about my baby sister. She loved this music. God I miss her so much.
@@matterdaddy3363 Sorry to hear about your sister. The memories we have of them are bittersweet.
Mullets and incredible harmonies....when country music was still awesome .
Love the mullets. Some guys look better with a mullet 💕👍💕
Country is still awesome
Oh how I miss the 90s. What a great time it was to grow up.
Wont find harmony like these 3 now a days. The way they compliment each others voices is absolutely incredible ❤ Makes me sad that music has strayed so far away from this kind of sincere talent 😢
This is what an underrated band looks and sounds like
How were they underrated?...they were all over country radio in the mid '90's
There it is! I look for the underrated comment on every old country video. It’s always there at least once.
I love this song it don't get any better than this
2019 and to Young to even know this song, just want whoever to know how solid gold country this heart is. Know every damn word
that's 'too' young, boss.
I love this song in 2024🎉🎉
A great song! I miss bands like Blackhawk.

What a song. What a Band!!!
Underrated.
it sure is underated
@@marykelley3210 thats what keep telling all my buddies, way underrated
These dudes kick ass
I have always loved this song so much. This song has always rung true for me. More so the older I get. That's just about right.
They lyrics in this song really made my 10 year old mind click. Pure poetry.
Love Blackhawk!
Road trip music!
This is an old friend. Saw Blackhawk for the first time at the Jerome County Fair in Idaho in 1995. Great band.
I miss this music!! I just typed in the search bar 90s country and this popped up a few songs later! The nostalgia hit me hard with this song! I know things change, but I still miss this!
Henry Paul is both a fabulous country as well as Country Rock musician.
Real life he says is the hardest impression
It’s always moving so I let it come through
That my friend I say is the glory of true independence
Just to do what you do, what you do, what you do
Henry Paul IS the Greatest Stroy Teller in Music... BlackHawk was the Perfect Canvas for his artistry... and I can Not Get enough BlackHawk! Thank you Gentlemen!! BROVO!!!
Very fortunate to have seen them live. Unlike a lot of artists I’ve seen they sound just as good live as they do on record.
I saw them live as well in Kansas. Before the show, they were at the K Mart signing their CD. I told myself "If I'm getting so close to them, I'm gonna get me some hugs!"

Went to the show that night and they were awesome!
2021, still blown away by their harmony
2023 and still blown away ❤️❤️❤️
We're seeing them tonight, 3/9/24 at Grewal Hall in Lansing, MI. It's going to be a great show!
Just saw them in concert last night in Watertown, SD....wow they are so good sounded just like it was 1990
The most underrated country music group!!!!!!!
Love this Damn song true to the words
Ahhh this song, sure brings everything to perception!
That's just about right it sure does
@@sandyjimenez5768 yes it sure does really puts things in perspective
ME TOO! 😍😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭😭
THIS is country! Brings back so much memories of when I was a kid and my whole family was at the house for a bbq, all my cousins, uncle's, aunt's... I'm still young but life isn't as simple as it was back then. I miss those days.
I remember BlackHawk and TIm McGraw opening up for Little Texas back in 1994...great concert...
Brian Greene sounds awesome
Lay me down god. Binikis off. How does that cool marble feel sweetie.❤️😁👀👀

He painted the album art for the single, which you can see throughout the video. Beautiful work. I love that he is featured in the video.
Wish country was still like this they are amazing
Love the mandolin licks!
This song is just perfection. Damnit man, 90s Country is just the best
very diverse song. It virtually can be played anywhere anytime and still sound great.
A long gone era...back when country music was good
Sigh! So many happy memories of singing along on the radio.
This song is dedicated to Howard Finster of Paradise Gardens. He was a Folk Artist among many of the wonderful talents he had. Ive lived my whole life where this song was taken place in the Great Chattooga County.

RIP Reverend Finster.
Tennie Bandy that is cool
Neil McCoy
Howard was a special creature that was gifted to this earth and left an incredible footprint in the time that he was here
Seen them tonight in Oxford Alabama, GREAT SHOW...Thank you BlackHawk
One of my all time favorite songs 🎵❤
THIS BAND GOES DOWN IN THE HALL OF FAME!
Best country song of all time,hands down👍 (2019)
Saw BlackHawk twice in the 90's. Damn They were awesome.
Truly one of my favorite country albums! And I'm a metal head.
Jackson Hole Dr
God what a tremendous song from one of the best country groups of all time
This is EXACTLY what I needed 🥰🥰🥰Thanks for the memories🥰🥰🥰
My old friend,
Lives up in the mountains
He flew up there to paint the world
He says, "Even though interpretation's what I count on, this little picture to me seems blurred"
"Hard lines and the shadows come easy
I see them all just as clear as a bell
I just can't seem to set my easel to please me;
I paint my Heaven, but it looks like Hell"
Your blue might be gray, your less might be more
Your window to the world might be your own front door
Your shiniest day might come in the middle of the night
That's just about right
He says, "Man, I ain't comin' down 'til my picture is perfect
And all the wonder has gone from my eyes"
Down through my hands and onto the canvas,
Still like my vision but still a surprise"
"Real life", he says, "is the hardest impression
It's always movin' so I let it come through"
"And that", I say, "is the glory of true independence" "Just do what you do what you just gotta do"
Your blue might be gray, your less might be more
Your window to the world might be your own front door
Your shiniest day might come in the middle of the night
That's just about right
My friend came down from the mountain
Without even looking, he found a little truth
"You can go through life with the greatest intentions; but you do what you do what you just gotta do" (Yeah)
Your blue might be gray, your less might be more
Your window to the world might be your own front door
Your shiniest day might come in the middle of the night
That's just about right
A band way ahead of their time. These songs could be remastered and be hits today.
I LOVED BlackHawk when they first came out. It's one of the few bands i've ever bought a CD for... and that's saying a lot.
Loved singing....no! Still love singing along with this band...❤😂❤😂
These guys are awesome when country was country
THIS CANVAS HAS YET TO BE FULLY PAINTED! 😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😆😆😆😆😆😏😏😏😏😏😁😁😁😁😁😭😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🖌🖌🖌🖌🖌🖼🖼🖼🖼🖼
One of the best songs ever. I’ve come back to it so many times.
I pray that the lead guy of this awesome act is having himself a safe and awesome 74th birthday today (August 25th). God bless him and the remaining member always!!! Holly in east TN (one of their many fans) P.S. Van is still very much missed.
Happy that this song and Howard Finsters art works so well together.
My very favorite song of alllll time!
Life can be beautiful or life can be ugly. It's ultimately whatever You Choose to let in.
I just seen them in concert last Saturday here in Oklahoma and omg! They legit sound the same! I have been a fan of them since I was a lil girl and my daddy rode bulls. This covert was good for my soul and made me cry!
You do what you do what you just gotta do. Yeah
Heard this song on radio for first time a few days ago on digital country music station in Australia.
LOVE THIS SONG - 25 years have past - and I missed it.
Can't wait to see this group live in 4 months!!!
The lyrics in this song are just about right 😊
This song puts me in the mind of my dad he tells it like he sees it everytime I hear this song I turn it up and I jam out I LOVE blackhawk
My son loved this song when it came out , he was 10 years old and he is a very good artist these days
Got to see these guys in concert a few years ago at the world's only corn Palace in Mitchell South Dakota. Was an absolutely amazing concert still love these guys
I still love you Timbo with all my heart. Always and forever
These guys said it from the heart ....great harmonies!
Real life, he says, is the hardest impression/It’s always movin’, so I let it come through/That my friend I say is the glory of true independence/Just to do what you do/what you do/what you do.
I tell ya, you could do worse…A LOT worse…trying to devise a simple rule for achieving true happiness.
Superb insight in a superb song.
Thats just about right.i love it
Your shiniest day might come in the middle of the night
No truer were ever sang or spoken
Blackhawk dominated the 90's. One of the best, hit after hit.
Blackhawk and Diamond Rio are legendary
Got to see them last night in Oxford Alabama. What a concert!
Their songs have some sweet electric guitar work
The most underrated band of all time.....still LOVE them in 2021!!!!!
They were awesome! I loved their music, still do!
Summerville, Georgia.... Rev. Finster... 12-2-1916 to 10-22-2001...
Rest in Paradise (Garden)
Taking this to 2022! What a harmonious beat and meaningful lyrics!
I miss the good old days listening to old country takes me back to the best times of my life I miss my mom and my uncle so much and my dad is very bad sick now it hurts so much
Love these guys. Miss them so much.
My mom's best friend dated Henry Paul back in the day lol we would always go to their shows when I was a kid. This band was my childhood.. my favorite song then being "Big Guitar" - now this is my favorite song. very nostalgic for me, so many great memories. was born 1994 lol
