I'm a 55 year old man taking care of my 80 year old mother who raised me on country music. For some reason this song has been on my mind lately and to stumble upon this masterpiece was Heaven sent. It brought tears to me my eyes thinking about my Dad and younger sister who have gone to be with the Lord.
Sorry for your losses. Bless you for taking care of your mom.
You are loved sir❤
Yes, played this at my Dad's funeral.
I am 68 old man from Croatia, Europe and whole my life listen all kinds of country music!
This is why I can read through comments all night long - because every so often one runs into beautiful people sharing glimpses of their life experience.
If ever you read this, I wish you a blessed day, Sir.
Definitely lost it when Randy Travis made an appearance. Kudos to whoever decided that, even though unable to sing, that he be included. Absolute perfection this video is.
absolutely. he's been my all-time favorite behind George Strait. country music wouldn't be the same without him.
that's when I lost it too.
I was dissapointed. I wanted to hear his amazing voice
I feel you Matt, but he hasn't been able to sing since his stroke in 2013:(
Randy was shown@0.51
I discovered this only today, 7 years later. I'm not a country music fan, but everyone knows these 3 songs... This is amazing. Dolly at the very end made me teary-eyed....
beautiful song ,with lots of beautiful history
yup, Christmas Eve and it was on my country music channel. so beautiful ... especially the respect given to those three legends
@@Madscheva97531 beautiful song
Happened to me too! Happy 😃 that I heard & saw this today! So sweetly done - love 💕 this wonderful collaboration- and seems like they put alot of thought to the project & took their time to handle & produce to perfection! So nice!
I’m the same only discovered this song, I don’t usually listen to country music but this song…wow 😵💫❤️
I can't help but cry when they show Randy. The fact they reapect him enough to have him make an appearance despite his disability.
I was wondering why he wasn't singing
@nathanbrooker9378 He sadly had a stroke and can no longer sing. That's why it's so touching they included him
@@BerserkCD I understand
@@BerserkCDthey're saying he might make a comeback. I hope so!
I love seeing randy and Vince
Its 2023 but still loving this...
Never get old.. what a great concept to see all my favorites...
Never gets old. Never gets boring. I love country so much. Lovely.
I sure wish they would have left Faith Hill out of it! Kellie Pickler instead! Jmo
Not even a modern country fan and I love this video!

As a huge fan of country music, the tears started immediately. What a beautiful tribute to country music. This was incredible
I did too… I didn't realize that they had three songs in one…
Who is still
Listening to this in 2024? I love this with every fiber of my heart
Two days later. I went on a bus trip of Europe in 2017, & the tour guide would play “On the Road Again” when we started almost every morning. It reminds me of those amazing 2wks & the wonderful people I spent it with.
Im still always
I just.saw it for the first time in 2024. I'm not a country person, but I'm impressed. Was it made for a special occasion?
Was just rewatching to make sure Allan is in the video, they should have sung one of his songs by the way, coz he did a lot for country Music
@@lorenarodgers7545Yes it was made to celebrate the 50th Country music awards
Who is listening to it in 2022! Love this rendition to a classic in Country Music. Always takes me home!
I still listen to this song 🎵
I still listen.
April 2022.
💟💟💟 From Indonesia. 🇮🇩
I still listen to this song 26 April 2022
Brett Eldredge stands out the most, Dierks did well too
2022 here, every now and then, I'll stumble back to gain a smile
This is beautiful. I teared up seeing Randy Travis. Even though he couldn't sing, he was still there...
Khouri Arnold I did too 💜 Warms my heart that they made sure to include him
Why could Randy Travis sing ?
@@khaspertastic9902 oh gee I didnt know poor guy
I heard he gained the ability to sing again
Lovie Enloe he has the ability but it’s still only a couple words
Heard this on the radio on the way to chemo this morning... so beautiful. Perfect way to start the day.
praying for you and speedy recovery. God bless you.
Praying for you
praying for you hope ur day is great
get well soon...wish u all the best
Jenny Schmidt My mom just finished chemo and I wish you strength, humor, and HEALTH.
The very first song my Dad taught me on the guitar was Country Roads. I was 8 years old. Dad is in a nursing home with dementia now, but I can sing this song to him and he still remembers the words. There's so much power in music! God bless!
Omg I just watched this 3x in a row & I am in tears. George, Willie, Vince, Reba, Alan, Tim, Brooks & Dunn...absolutely beautiful...and Dolly, omg I will be crying for days.
try 6 times like me haha
I wonder how many people know Dolly Parton wrote the song "I will always love you" I was waiting for her to appear. It's sort of a tribute to John Denver and Whitney Houston in my mind. I have all John Denver's hits. He is my all time favorite singer.
I played it 10 times, maybe more!
But I’m in love, does that count? ❤️
I listened to this on CMT the last week of my daughters life as she was dying with ovarian cancer. She loved this song. It will always hold special meaning for me in addition to being a great song!!
Very sorry for your loss
I hope this is a happy song for you. Sorry for your loss
My deepest condolences. A very great loss. May the music heal your aching heart and your memories dance with her forever.
R.I.P.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It's funny how the little things bring comfort, and how important the littlest comfort can be. I lost my son 4 months ago, so I sympathize with you.
And I sadly know exactly what you mean. I am so sorry for your loss. It’s the worst thing ever in life to give up your child, no matter what age. Sending a big hug to you@@DawnAllynn
This just hits so much harder once you have an appreciation of not only the history behind it all, but also for the artists who made it happen.
Made me cry when they sing the chorus of Country Road take me home
I was bawling😢, was songs of my whole life!!
REAL! Watching all the different singers appear knowing who most of them are and finding new ones just brings a new sense of nostalgia
This is what brings me back to country music every time. The greatest singers of different generations, celebrating their genre for its own sake. That’s the difference between a performer and an artist.
This song is everything that I love about country music. The mix of old and new artists is fantastic, and the way they blended their voices is phenomenal! What better way to celebrate 50 years of the CMAs!
Sidenote: who couldn't adore Faith and Tim's moment? (and it fantastic to hear her sing again, it's been so long). And the smile Brad and Carrie share before Dolly comes into focus
User Name I'll admit that I didn't like Country Music much until I moved to the country, now I LOVE IT and this song makes me feel at home.
Bobby Hitt Ayyyye
OMG I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU ON EVERYTHING ,and aww YES brad and carrie's smile and Tim and faith 💖💖😂 this is absolutely everything I love about county music
LOVE IT !!! Who else got goosebumps??? Lol
sup
i get goosebumps every time I watch this video!
Martin Lino heck yeah!
Martin Lino me
Martin Lino I did lol
Who else is listening to this is 2021. Still an amazing piece of art!
Yessss. Kenny Rogers should have been in it too. Randy couldn't sing so if kenny couldn't then make a cameo
So underrated
Once a day for me! Just to wake myself up with positivity!!
Me still listen
I agree ! 🥰🥰🥰
This is probably one of the best songs/renditions that I have heard in a long time. Such a great melody of voices, and sheer talent, I would like to hear more like this.
this song gives me all three feels. past, present , and future! love how this brings it full circle and dolly!
the*
patricia Durham Amen, well said!
love it
patricia Durham
Even thought Randy Travis couldn't sing for this it made my day to see him in it!!
2021, this song always cheers me up. 👍from Wales 🏴.
It was great to see him in this video. He's amazing.
@@lexifeldmann5353 yes, amazing at taking credit for other people's music
Wait he can't sing anymore?
@@technotrapper He had a stroke a few years back and can't sing more than a few notes at a time, Is what I've read before.
I live in West Virginia,and love every minute of it. Our State has just been through some tough times with some unbelievable Floods. I watched this Video,and it made me cry. What an awesome Song,and i would not change one thing. Outstanding and Thank Everyone who did this. This will last forever in my Heart.
From West Virginia too! Gave me chills!! This was truly amazing!!
I'm with you on that! Dolly got to me at the end!
Live it n WV to
Me, too.
I left WV when I was 16....made me cry too! I am so glad they chose Country Roads.
Absolutely the #1 video of 2016 as far as I am concerned!
Today is July 14th of 2024. This is my Momma's 83 Heavenly Birthday. Happy Birthday Momma, I Love You so much, we all do!❤️❤️❤️❤❤
This song came out in the fall of 2016. The video came out just a few months after my Momma passed on June 4th of 2016.❤️❤️❤️❤❤
Perfect reminder of my Momma, I Will Always Love You.❤❤️❤️❤❤
My Momma and my Dad and I would always watch the CMA Awards when they came out in the Fall.
I remember they made this Awesome, Wonderful, Amazing Beautiful version of these songs with all the different Artists singing in a round. ❤❤❤❤❤
They sang this song in a round for a commercial to preview the upcoming CMA Awards. They all sang Amazing together! I'm sure this was a Big project getting all the different singers together at different times and then the producer splicing all these different clips together.
If this Video didn't win an Award, then it should have in my opinion, won Video of the Year!❤❤❤❤❤
Has anyone else just heard this song for the first time in a long while, and started remembering a special memory too as you heard this song?
I just came across this today and can’t believe it’s 7 years old! Seeing all of these wonderful generations of country music stars singing this totally blew me away and gave me chill bumps. I absolutely love love love this. Thank you to whomever put this together. Amazing 🤩Thursday March 23, 2023❤
There's a video on here outlining the making of this. I really enjoyed it..... Sparks in Daytona
Welcome to the greatest ensemble not just in country but any genre ever. I've watched it literally over 100x and still gives me chills
@@stevenp.sparks2953Thank you so much for taking time out to listen I hope you don’t stop listening to my music in particular. Thank you #genewatsonsongs
ua-cam.com/video/3KrPS-M-UPk/v-deo.html
Same here, I heard it for the first time last night and was totally Blown Away for my new favorite song of all time
My wife was watching this for the first time and half way through she says 'If Dolly Parton isn't in here someone needs a slap'. I just smiled and waited. :)
RIGHT? I was about to throw a fit because the song was ending and I still can't see her... and then there she was 😁
Yeah that would have been criminal.
I agree ,she's been my idol since I was 13 years old & I still love her to this day,I'm now 50
You can't do something called "Forever Country" and not include the one and only Dolly. The universe wouldn't tolerate it.
They saved one the best too the end 👍🇬🇧
I love they put Charlie Pride into this incredible work of musical artistry! Take Me Home Country Roads is by far one of the most beautiful and amazing songs to ever be written. And I will stand by that no matter what anyone says!
Agreed! I’m so impressed with the older generation; they still sound amazing.
RIP John Denver!
His part is honestly my favorite part.
@Cody Olson me too!
@@montanaskies2702 INDEED! R.I.P. JOHN DENVER & CHARLIE PRIDE!
2024 anyone?❤
Thanks for the likes , country then, now and forever 💯❤️
Yep. Right here. Been on repeat for the last three days. 😁
Eu aqui no Brasil
With the same tears as when they released it! 😭
Ye ^^
In the Netherlands
Was it just me or did anyone else get chills while listening to this?
You're not alone there!
YES!!!!!!!!
Chills that made my eyes leak a little, yeah :)
Yes!! So much
made my non loving country fan hubby listen to this.. and honestly I don't tend to listen to country in general.. but lawd have mercy, I cried some tears over this song!
This is just a beautiful collaboration between all of these artists. The music of “I Will Always Love You,” “On the Road Again,” and “Country Roads” was superbly arranged. From the top down, this video is a great piece of art.
Masterpiece marked in time ❤🙏🏻
You people should stop saying who should be showed more and some people that shouldn't be in it and all that stuff. Just enjoy it! It's a great song and I think we can all agree.
I think there's a question that needs to be asked: Who did they ask that said no to being in this? Why did they have to have 30 artists for their 50th anniversary celebration?
Matthew Lang I disagree.
@ Truman Drolet. I hear ya! I immediately had thoughts of who else can be on here, but then I said NOPE. It's good as is. If it ain't broke, don't fix it...

Today is April 17, 2024 and I cannot belive this is the first time I have seen and heard this. Amazing medley with astounding talent. Country royalty throughout. Thanks to all these amazing artists for so many years of great music
It’s fantastic!
I was just thinking we should send this to one of those bits react people and say this is the south's royalty, even has our version of a queen at the end.
Kinda of like We are the World was Pop royalty in the 80’s!!
I just saw this today on April 26th! 😮
😊😮😊😊 😮. 😊😮😊
I can't even tell you how happy I was to see Dolly at the end. Good old girl's still got it!
Still Dolly!
right that like made the video
pretty sure she has not sang live for years. just sayin
She is on tour..
Pretty sure she can STILL sing tho!!!!
Wow!!! Now this honors America and its fallen! THANK YOU!!! Gotta love John Denver....
A shame A retrospective clip of John Denver wasn't in there somewhere.
You mean like that one dude ripping up his award at an award show?
Dan Troughton I have to agree!! Great song by a great man!!
JCB Who did that? Heard nothing about that at all!
Laura Tieffel
This song means too much to me. I cried the second they showed Randy Travis, it's my favourite song for life.
Anita yeah I broke at him too
I thought it was just me.
0:52 is Randy Travis
Anita I know exactly what you mean. my grandpa just passed and he was born and raised in wear Virginia so this has always been his song. tears every time.
The look he gives, is just... Thats right, I'm coming back and better than ever.
Everytime I see Dolly at the end I get choked up with joy. National Treasure that woman is.
There is NOT a better mashup than this, I’ve played this for soooooo many people and it’s ALWAYS a favorite……THANK YOU! 🙏❤️
Why are you thanking her like it’s your song or like you’re in it? Quit using other people’s work and channels to solicit your own especially when you seem to be taking credit for other people’s work! Very distasteful and disrespectful.
If Denver never had gotten on that plane in '97, he just might have lived long enough to see the impact his music has made on the Country & Folk Music community, and everyone in general. However, Denver is gone, and we must recognize that as a truth, which we will deal with for the rest of our lives. Don't take this comment as a sad note, but as one of celebration. Though, Denver suffered a tragic fate, without him, people would have never been brought together using his music.
We thank you, John Denver.
I hope you made it to (almost) heaven:
West Virginia.
I agree. Though his death was tragic, I hope he’s able to see, from heaven, what has flourished in this genre which he helped shape.
Very nice of you
chill out man.
I think just like Elvis and john lenon. The death helped hype up their actual talent.
Not taking away from the greatness of this song but I wouldn't put him in a league with the like of cash or Dylan.
@randomstupid sh*t same
now that's the perfect country western song
It was
Not the perfect country & western song because he hadn't said anything at all about mama,
Or trains,
Or trucks,
Or prison,
Or getting' drunk
I was drunk the day my mama got out of prison...
That's another awesome song!
Haha D.A.C!!! Hell yeah!!
+Rachel Starrett and I went to pick her up in the rain
How am i hearing this for the first time. Absolutely amazing
this is like the perfect song, ya know? rainy day, driving home after some sort of incident, and you just need to be home, and home lies on those country roads.. it truly is where home is..
I played this for my dad 5 years ago when it came out. Because he loved country music and he absolutely adored this video. Now I come watch this every now and then when I need to feel close to him.
At 0:51 they gave Randy Travis an appearance, how touching! He was one of the greats during the “golden age” of country in the 80s and 90s, until a hospital stay and a stroke in the 2010s or so left him so badly hurt he had to relearn to walk and left him with aphasia, so it’s difficult for him to speak full sentences. He’s relearning how to play guitar, and he goes to country concerts with his wife so he can at least hear the music he loved to once play, and he’s using his fame to raise money and awareness for stroke research. I’m very proud that they showed him this gesture of respect by including him ❤️
Is that him again at 3:34 in the field? It's so quick and at a distance that I'm not certain, but fairly positive.
i'm glad that they honored him in that way too... i grew up on him, George Strait, Reba, Alan Jackson, Alabama, Brooks and Dunn, Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride and a few others so seeing them was refreshing and it was a joy to have this cross my feed on Facebook and it's been two years on the video itself
Leah Thimgan ki ki
That's why he didn't sing at all during the song? Oh gosh I had no idea! The moment is even sweeter now! I remember when this song first came out, I was so happy to see him but didn't know why such a great man wasn't singing at least one line in the song. Oh gosh..
Randy is the pride and joy of North Carolina, we Love him and his music. Sending Randy prayers of healing and loving gratitude for a life's worth of music.
I just stumbled across a partial clip of this on Instagram. Enough to make me want to see the whole thing. Not a big country fan, but I have a few favorites. A wonderful, well done video.
the original Country Roads felt of longing to return home
this song feels like the return we longed for
This is a perfect summarization of the emotions in this song
This gives me chills down my spine. It's the most beautiful thing I've heard in a while.
Georgena Curtis Eric Church's voice was my most noticeable
I So agree
It brought a tear to my eye.
5 years later, still gives me chills
Almost Heaven, West Virginia...
Blue Ridge Mountain, Shenandoah River...
FROM JAPAN GOOD SONG IWANNA GOTO WV
Ikr time does fly 😭😢
@@oceanaire39 Life is old there. Older than the trees
Here I am again, Feb. 2, 2024! Still love these songs! Music makes me feel good! We had sunshine today after 10 days of rain and clouds! A good sign! God Bless you all!
I’m here March 15 2024!
I've been waiting for this video to be released. It more than exceeded my expectations. The best collabation of country stars ever. I'm so glad George Strait & Alan Jackson are in it. Thank you all, dear country singers and the people that put this together. It already is a classic. I'm sure I'll watch it many times.
And Randy Travis!!
And Alabama!
And Willie!
Where is Garth.. Trisha is there... Where is he?
+Nicole Bennett damn your right
I love that they gave the ending of “I will always love you” to some of the best and biggest voices in the history of country music. Reba, Carrie, Martina, Trisha, and Faith all paying tribute to Dolly who helped pave the way for them. 🙌🏼
@Danielle Perry Carrie can belt her way though everything. she has great pipes but I'd love to hear them a little softer sometimes
Biggest.... voice ? Really ? XD
Did you know that I Will Always Love You was originally recorded by Dolly Parton in the 70s
This song means bringing home the glory of I will always love you... because its the original song of dolly parton...
I can't stay away from this song I'm addicted to it
#MAGA
Ericka cryer agreed!
Ericka cryer sorry to hear that..
I agree! everytime I open up UA-cam I have to listen to this first!
Ericka cryer me too
Yeah but I have no idea why so many people are just disliking the song. This is one of the best darn songs ever. Nothing can go wrong with forever country
An Indian here. No other music moves me as much as country does. I feel an instant connection. From John Denver, George strait all the way to Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan. I love and listen to them all.
Nothing else has the soul, simplicity, natural and beautiful picturization that most of the country songs have. You listen to some and it feels like you have left the concrete jungles of the urban world and took a stroll down the river in a lovely little remote village far away from it all.
Thank you America country music fraternity for this wonderful gift to the world ❤️. We are indebted forever.
Long live farmers, god's country, countries' gods, nature and music with such soul and simplicity.
We love the Indians!
I loved your comment. How heart felt and true.
you have no idea how strong my goosebumps were while listing to this!!!!!
I have an idea because I had them too.
Same
hello
Hi
bessssttttt song evvvver
Did anyone else cry when Dolly ended it? So many beautiful memories, thank you❣
I cried when I saw Randy Travis. Cried when I saw Jason Aldean for other reasons. But now I cry every time I watch this.
Cry? Why... I laughed at her stupid plastic surgery. What a fake. You country fans are so cheesy
@@brooklynboy1000 I cried about Randy Travis because he is such a legendary icon in country music and he is gravely ill. As for Jason Aldean I cried because he was the performer at the Route 91 Harvest festival on October 1st in Las Vegas. Which is where I reside. So please forgive me for having my city terrorised and being emotional about it. I was in the midst of the situation and its hard to deal with. So if that makes me cheesy then so be it.
Lé Polisher it’s ironic actually. Dolly knows fully well that she looks fake. She just loves the look of it. The ironic part is that despite all the fakeness of her looks, her personality and soul and incredibly genuine. Read one of her books. She’s a treasure.
@@brooklynboy1000 who are you? You have no absolute heart. Didnt your mama every tell you, if you cant say anything nice then shut your mouth, I am so sick of all the hate out there!!!! Be a person without your stupid own insecurities and learn to love and not hate... I cant even make a comment that touched my heart without negative....Why!!??!?!
Good remake. Rest in Peace John Denver 🤝🏻🇺🇲
What a beautiful collabration! It evokes feelings and tears that I cannot put words to. Thank you to each and everyone who participated in creating this. Such wonderful memories.
Wow people just like to bitch
I agree with you. It was amazing.
Heard this for the first time while driving down those country roads of WV and literally started crying. Although I’ve traveled the last 20 years, I still love my home state that holds so many happy memories. And wow!, all those singing, what an impressive group. ♥️♥️♥️
I'm from Ohio myself but have WV roots, my mother's parents were from WV, I've only been there a couple times but I loved it.
It’s one of those classic songs that speaks of home. It really doesn’t matter where the singer is talking about, it just reminds everyone of their own home and perfect days!
@@petercurry5346 yup thats what an uncountable many seem to say about this song. that said, Im from canada. but as God's witness I can tell you WV is Gods country. no doubt.
Funniest/most ironic thing is that it's not about West Virginia. It's about western Virginia.
Agreeing with Jeff. This song can apply to any place that feels like home. But the song is describing western Virginia ❤
I couldn't help but to smile SO BIG when Dolly Parton popped up at the end. This was put together so amazingly. I was so impressed and the amount of artists they had was awesome. Way to go Country Music Association!
I don't even know why but I did too! lol
Joe Sichini bb
I'll never forget my vietnam vet buddy that I worked with for years had a stroke and had to get air lifted to the hospital. Bust he wasn't the same after but he was too stubborn and tough to retire. This song came on the radio in the shop and I had a rivet buster in the vise and I was singing and I heard someone else singing. I turned around and he was sitting in a chair and tears were running down his face.
When Carrie's part came on I turned around around and started singing he smiled and was like shut up😊
How special is that
Listening to this song in the middle of Corona virus outbreak,
The situation is awful and humanity enters to the uncharted,
Really miss those good old days.
God help us all 🙏
hadi maghami agree 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Your not alone!
you're not alone guys
Your not alone
It could be worse spanish flu was way more worse the nature is defending her self from us
This is so beautiful it makes me cry. God bless America
me too
Johnny Utah yea can't make it threw with out tearing up. So beautiful on a million levels.
Johnny Utah hahahaha but which "god"? hahahahahaha.
Kevin Russell there is only 1 God and that's all there will ever be
Kevin Russell so where ya from kevin?
Wouldn't have expected this to be emotional, but seeing Randy Travis in this video (0:51) brings tears.
Same here, literally!!
I know...so sad, but so glad that they honored him in this video. Sad smile every time I see him...
I love randy Travis's song
If Anyone,.....should of been in that video, Should of been,.....Ms. Taylor Swift, Who Sang Country for a decade, and totally Hank Williams, Jr.?!! Sooooo shocked, to see them not in that Video?!!!
flyhound97 Taylor left, I was a big fan since she brought out Tim McGraw way back. But she made her choice and no going back really.
I keep this one on repeat. There are so many talented artists who contributed to this that made it the absolute best song. Dolly was the icing to the cake at the end! She's the G.O.A.T!
I literally started crying when I seen Randy Travis sitting in the dinner. Fucking beautiful that they included that wonderful man that lost his ability to sing. He'll always be a music legend in my book.
same i also cried even harder when Alan Jackson showed up!!!😭😭 i am so glad he was in there!
@@ashleyranch9721 Did anything happen to Alan Jackson?
@James Erdelen option
@James Erdelen he doesn't have to watch his language. It's a free fucking country.
@James Erdelen they don't need to watch their language
Forever country... Makes me emotional... The song which I can listen till I die. God bless us all.
Bless my man!
Not only is this one of my most favorite songs, but this arrangement brought tears to my eyes. I takes a special kind of music to elicit that kind of emotion from me. This should be nominated for best EVER collaboration in the history of music.
My wife and I won a meet and greet with this incredible man he was so kind and when I told him his music got me through the darkest days of my life we both had a little cry and hug he is so amazing and so humble walked in and felt like we knew him
This is the best tribute by far in my whole life I'm a huge true fan of country music and my biggest wish was always to see all these country legends and new younger ones all get together to sing one greatest old country song. I can't explain my emotions right now man this is awesome. But R.I.P. To John Denver who sung this country road song. Much love for that
Hey Chad farmer while I agree with you, there's actually three songs blended into one, that is Country Roads by John Denver, I will always love you by Dolly Parton and On the road again by Willie Nelson!

Check out the smells like teen spirit tribute for Kurt contain. 1000 people all playing at the same time and no synchronization problems

Hi Chad Farmer this is angel can I be your girlfriend yes or no I love you as a boyfriend ok my 13 yr old
Chad Farmer
Such a wonderful video! So glad to see Randy Travis sitting there as he is a part of what made country music great! Love Dolly at the end!
Randy Travis?
I was really happy that they found a way to include him. He's still recovering from a stroke, so singing wasn't an option, but he really was a turning point for Country music. I've always felt like modern country was founded by him - the more mainstream country that reached out to a greater audience, that centered more on relationships and less on the 'dog died, truck broke, wife left, cheatin' song' stereotype.
Oh, wow! I totally missed that. Thank you so much. I love him too.
Chelle Hall
I love the fact that they included Randy Travis in this! Especially since he cannot sing anymore since his stroke. One of the reasons why I love country music. They still have respect and have each other's backs.
Give it a few years and the public will forget him like almost every country singer that gets old.
@@tyronekracht461 we have and will never forget him. Maybe kids and people who don't know good music and are dumb will forget him but as country music fans we will never forget
@@tyronekracht461 We true country people will never forget the legend that is Randy Travis. Stroke or no stroke, he's still the man we love and adore. Who cares about "The public" they don't matter to us country singing lovers!
@@tyronekracht461I'm a hispanic woman living in Guatemala and guess what? My daughters know who Randy Travis is and have listened to his music because of me but they like him too. So, I don't think he'll be forgotten any time soon.
Is there anyone else coming here to listen and cry right after hurricane Helene? I live in the foothills and already miss my beautiful mountains. 💞
I'm so sorry. Are you in WV? I hope your community is healing and I am sending love.
@monasuehome
Not there. I'm in the lower part of the mountains...about an hour from Ashville.
I wanna cry 😭😭 this brought me back to when everything seemed so simple and pure. Back to my childhood. I grew up on country music and it’s always helped me decide certain choices in life. This was the best thing I’ve heard in a long time
I wish there was a whole album with this and other similar mashups.
Teri Lovo IKR
Yes!!
My dream!!!
I wish would’ve probably took away too long to get everybody to sing their parts
It would be hard to beat this one, but I'm the same. I'd love to see more!
God bless West Virginia my home state and Brad Paisley's. I'm so glad he starts the song and I want to thank him for everything he did for southern WV. God bless him!
Amen!
Princeton here!
no problem
if go
Watched a video the other day of a singer from Welch WV driving through town and my thoughts were that I would so live there. Sad it's becoming a ghost town though due to the coal mines shutting down, but I would still move there if I had the means. My heart has always been with small town America, and WV is beautiful.
This literally made me cry I’m not really sure why but this is beautiful! Ahhhhhhhhh I love it! I miss the old country who else?
Rest in Peace John Denver, true memories and legacy left behind.
John Denver
1943 - 1997
So he was 54 yrs old when he died???
53, didn't make it to his next birthday
My mom died one day past the first year anniversary of his death.
Respect.
I agree...a man who gave America great music to always listen to and love!
2022 and I'm still listening to it. It's an amazing work of art and talent.
Me tooo

Me too from a country side in India🙏

@@Henry_6161yes thanks for listening Henry I hope you don’t stop listening to my songs as well #genewatsonsongs
This was so beautifully done!! I would have loved seeing it performed live!! I also LOVE the fact that they included Randy Travis!!! That was a huge blessing !!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today…??
One of the best renditions of a classic you can do. And that was a true Field of Dreams with some of the top country stars today. No other genre could do this.
I love all the different country singers in this song . I also like the reamix of all the different songs😋👍
please like
Olivia York can u answer me 1 question?
Syed Shahab Zafa
Olivia York I love all the remixing too
Olivia York dkkdkckjcmc😂
As a huge country fan from the UK, this is amazing! to see so many artists and heroines doing what they love for us to enjoy makes me a very happy man!
Andy Killingbeck i love your music
I'm from West Virginia and this makes me so happy to hear all of these artists sing this.
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!
Logan Williams how is West Virginia thinking about moving there from Oklahoma
All I can say is stay out of McDowell. I love it here, was raised here. But it's no place to live. The state in general is beautiful though
Southern Projects it's a beautiful state, but there are a lot of problems like have the most overdoses problem it sucks
This made my day There is so much talent in this video
Zebzi VFX come to belmont county Ohio close to pa and wv actually not bad out here
I CANT THINK OF A BETTER VIDEO, GOD BLESS ALL THESE ARTISTS AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU DOLLY...
I often listen to this as it was played at my daughters funeral, she loved all these artists
May God mercy her soul.
Sorry for your loss 🌹
Sorry for your loss😟
watching a parent bury their children is very hard.
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad this music helped.
I'm Russian, but country song and music flying from heart to heart and doesn't matter which national you are. Music which needn't back stage dancing, smoke and firework to take yours attention - just came and listen, because every song not just bla-bla-bla. this is a story about all sides of the life.
V Yermakov I agree! There’s something very beautiful about country, folk and blues music that you really don’t see in other genres
Reba, Martina look so good at their age even Dolly. Never get tired seeing this wonderful video. Who Agrees?
Noel Robledo Dolly Parton is in her 70s and she still looks and sounds amazing
I never get tired of watching this Video........
Noel Robledo
Queen Of Country Reba McEntire me
Queen Of Country Reba McEntire this will never get old
There is a very important under lining message here in what all these artists are all doing with these songs. If you don't understand that message. That's on you. It's absolutely beautiful
I can't stop replaying this. It makes me glad that they all came together, I see this as real country. Most songs I ever hear on the radio is about trucks, drinking, or just some woman. I love this do damn much.
Susan George agreed!!!
Toby Keith and the light you got. P
Agreed
This legit makes me tear up every time.
Dtestor glad I'm not the only one
Same here!
Sammy R If you weren’t blessed to grow up in the country then you can’t understand the emotions behind this song.
Agreed
Sammy R that’s so hypocritical. Look at your statement compared to mine. You call everyone “dorks.” I singled you out. Therefore the only thing it’s controversial to is you. Suck it up buttercup
I love how they manage to merge different singers in one song. The harmonies are perfect plus those legendary country artists... ❤️❤️❤️... October 5,2022.
When I watched "the making of" I had no idea the director Joseph Kahn was the one who came up with doing a mash up instead of a single song. What surprised me more was that Kahn, born in South Korea, lived in Italy and then basically grew up outside of Houston and is a country fan. He is known mostly for hip hop music vids (won a Grammy for my hometown star Eminems video for without me). I wish my Mom would've still been alive to hear this. She would've absolutely loved it, I wouldn't know a squirt of country music without her. Keith Whitley to this day is one of my favorite all time artists from any genre.
@@ericjohn8466 wow that's awesome thanks for the info ❤❤❤
@@mr_grey122 mos def!!! Check out the "making of", it's easily found on UA-cam 😁
@@mr_grey122 Very Welcome 🙏
I cannot watch/listen to this amazing mashup enough, I just wish I could tell the artists and producers how very very appreciative I am/ we all , are for this beautiful tribute to music and artists and fans!!! Much ❤❤❤
I am from West Virginia and this song is on all the time it has like all country singers and I loaf it X3
Yah another person from wv
Ayyy right here with ya
But the song is actually about Virginia- west part of Virginia 😉
Omg! Just saw this for the first time. Can’t believe it’s 6 years old. Such a beautiful rendition with talented vocals❤
Mine was today! Just WOW!
Country music has never been my jam, but this is incredible. Gave me chills all the way through. Awesome!!!!!
Thanks for taking time to listen to this songs I hope you try listening to mine too we need to keep the old country style alive. Thank you Larry. #genewatsonsongs
How long have you been a fan of my music Larry. #genewatsonmusic
Just forgot the awesome Barbara Mandrell
I was researching microphones and stumbled across this AMAZING video! Wow, very touching! I work in country radio and and am a little embarrassed to say I never knew it existed until today. Now it will go down as one of my all-time favorites! Thank you CMT, and everyone who made it a reality.
This song still makes me cry. Incredibly talented musicians mashing up 3 legendary songs with 2 of the legends appearing(shame we couldn't interject John into the field).
Yeah, John Denver clip should have been included...miss that man. He made beautiful music.
Che meraviglia!uno spettacolo...😊🤗💏😍😘🎶🎸🎶💘💓💋💯🌅
seriously why would 6000 people dislike? its a mix of legends current and past of a certain genre. Rather you like country music or not show respect ffs.
ksweiger they dont know beautiful music as this
ksweiger TRUE!
Made them feel sad about "modern country"
I bet it's cause they don't know the "old people". Or as we like to call them, all time greats.
Homer Simpson Suuuure
Never get tired of watching this stellar ensemble. And God love Dolly Parton! Her wink and head turn at the end makes me laugh every single time.
Michael Graystone although you cant help but not to love it
Absolutely love this song. Hope they do a new one for the 60th anniversary.
