I honestly believe this man/artist is one of the most underrated performers in country music. Rest in Peace Hal.
Agreed 😢
Agreed.
One of my favorite Hal Ketchum songs. RIP Hal, the world has lost another beautiful voice and talent.
This is my favourite deep cut of his. But that whole album was full of so many good songs. As a bit of late bloomer in his music career too, years spent perfecting his music and broke into the scene at just the perfect time when more traditional sounding country artists were once again popular for country radio. True country fans always yearn for that during Nashville’s multiple times of creating pop crossover artists. Which is why many of us are listening more to Roots/Americana artists where it’s a bit like the 70s outlaw movement and wanting to make meaningful music, with lyrics that make you truly feel. Hal Ketchum had that in his writing. But I do concur this should have been a single. I remember as a kid that I asked my Dad to learn the song to play for me (he’s a PT musician. A couple Ketchum songs part of their band’s set lists for decades now). He’s been playing it again a lot after hearing of his passing. With my dad having a father also with Alzheimer’s/dementia (although not early onset like Ketchum’s) it’s still the same hell. For the person suffering and the family. While an atheist, I do sometimes envision musician heaven and that it’d probably be pretty cool. Unfortunately just adding up those we’ve lost in just 2020 would make one hell of a supergroup.
🤔🤔🤔
Rest in peace, Hal. Dammit you'll be missed.
Amen brother, amen.
The most underrated country stars , his passing was a great loss to music and the human experience of story telling .
You are the truest of troubadours, Hal. God, do you know how much I miss you, no you don’t but I do.
I am so sad to hear of Hal's passing. One of the best vocalists in country music.
This one hurts, I'll miss you mucho Mr Ketchum. It was a pleasure to have worked with you....
One of the top 5 underrated greatest songwriters and singers of all time!
If you loved Hal’s voice, guitar and writing then you knew he was special. A wordsmith, a poet, a liver of life. I know I was truly lucky to sit in his audiences a few times and to be taken on a journey with Hal as everyone there was, if only for a couple of hours.
I’ll listen to Hal Ketchum’s music for the rest of my time here. God bless you, Hal. Rest easy, oh great one.
I'm still mourning Hal Ketchum. Still breaks my heart to see him perform, but this particular video is the hardest of all !! God Bless your Spirit Hal! Still love your music
We saw Hal in Big Bear Lake, California shortly before he quit touring. He is a seriously underrated singer and songwriter. He is irreplaceable in country music.
I don't think he had a bad song . A fantastic catalogue he leaves behind another country legend gone .
Always enjoyed his younger days singing in the 90's he still sounds so good sad to hear he's passed
Loved this man's voice!!! Past the Point of Rescue!
Heaven has another heavenly voice.
Hal, you were always one of my favorite! I remember when we would run into each other around town. You were always so kind, I always said you were dreamy! 😍Glad I can still hear you and enjoy your beautiful voice. Miss you Hal. God bless you, Rest in peace.🙏
Rest in Peace- his voice was as strong as when I first heard it 30 years ago- very unique
He stayed true to himself, that's all you can ask for in a true artist, and he was without a doubt,that.
Saw him in Chicago in Grant Park and when he started playing this, he saw my reaction to the first notes, and he smiled at me. He just seemed so content to share his music and what an authentic talent it was. Bless you Hal.
One of the beautiful, masterful things that always runs through my brain on this song is the choice of words around “lover of a drink, lover of a fight, one more round can surely set things right”
A round of drinks? A round of a fight? I just love what he did there, tied them both together.
I have a Mary, but I'm hangin' on tight to her. Such a sad song.
Wow. This was filmed less than 2 months before his diagnosis, and you can see it in his eyes. So very sad.
There's nothing at all fair about life. Hal was such a talented singer with an amazing voice.
RIP Hal. Thank you for sharing your voice with us.
Rest in paradise Hal. Your songs will live forever! I’m 24 and 5 years ago me and my friends were always driving circles in our little town blasting Small Town Saturday Night. Some great memories to your music playing in the background. ❤️
Oh, ghost, lost and grieved by the wind, come back again.
The purest of voices. Most humble of men. Genius artist. The lives of strangers you have touched, maybe you know now. You are now free. Rest in peace , sweet, sweet prince.
I will never fear for I will never feel. Man that’s tough.
A truly profound line ...
Legend. Just a plain old legend. RIP.
He has the most unique voice. I miss his music. R.I.P., Hal. 💔
Beautiful voice. I had the honor and pleasure of enjoying the gifted Hal Ketchum, along with sweet Kenny Grimes, perform multiple times the last couple of years here in Texas. Such a loss, his music will live on.
Holly Kauitzsch ... I was fortunate, caught Hal & Kenny in Pasadena CA about two years ago ... RIP Brother 🙏🏻
Heartbreaking news......... seen Hal 3 times in Glasgow....... fabulous concerts from an amazing talented gentleman. R.I.P. Hal
RIP Hal. You were an amazing song-write and performer.
I'm so sad. I loved his originals and his arrangements of cover songs. I was so lucky to meet him backstage during the previous millennium at The Barns at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Virginia. I was teaching English back then, and he was really into children's lit and making toys for kids. He was a master carpenter. His paintings were exhibited in respected galleries. What an amazing person.
Omgoodness… I heard his song today and forgot how much I loved his music.. thank you for such a beautiful legacy Hal….❤ rest in paradise my friend 🕊️🌹
God bless his heart ❤️...lord please take care of him his life here was not easy ...😢
Ugh! This is hitting so hard right now! I miss him already.
hal was the voice that united our family. I hope dad gets to hang out with him in heaven
Listening to Hal on UA-cam since about 5:00 when I heard of Hal's passing. I'm so sad, but sure that he is in a better place. Rest in Peace, poet. You will surely be missed.
Been listening to this man since 1991. He was unbelievable. So sad he left us early. He was truly a misrepresented singer and song writer. I listen to him and drink my whiskey nightly. I will always love this man. Rest in peace brother.
My favorite Hal Ketchum song. Rest easy old friend.
As a country music drummer myself, I thank you for the music and the memories, lost my mother last year to end stage alzheimers, 🙏 to entire family, dont know you all, but somehow I feel like I do. Rest in eternal peace Hal.
I will miss my Hal. 🎙🎶🎶
Such a wonderful talent, and unmistakable voice that is missed. Rest in peace Hal, and thanks....
one word "remarkable" R.I.P big man
This song opens so many emotional floodgates. One of the most talented humans there has ever been. I can see your future in yours eyes, here. One last gift. Thank you so much.
I saw it as well, and it was a gut punch. 😒
Always loved the cry in Hal’s voice. True emotion and grit comes from the soul and his music never lacked any of those. 💕💕. Massive talent.
Beautiful music. RIP - 11/23/20.
My top three best country songs of all time 3.Kenny Rogers - Coward of the county 2.Colin Raye - Love Me 1.Hal Ketchum - I miss my Mary. Rest easy Hal Ketchum! Prayers to his family and loved one's.

I so love this with all of my heart and I loved this singer/songwriter more than you will ever know. RIP, Brother.
My favorite Hal Ketchum song! Great talent but seemed to be so underrated! RIP
Lived their in Fischer next door to the hall. Met him several times and heard him sing. Soft voice believe it or not. Music...gold. RIP Hal.
Rest In Peace. I love your music. From Lisbon, Portugal
Rest in peace, beautiful soul.
I Miss Our Hal... 😔
Not sure when this was recorded, but that voice hasn't skipped a beat. RIP
RIP. Thank you for sharing your talent.
RIP Hal... this is breathtaking...
I was an overnight operator at a small town radio station in 1991 when the new country was heating up. I loved Hal Ketchum. I remember a college professor, who had some work for CMT over those years writing and reporting about the new artists. He described Ketchum as unique- a renaissance man of sorts, he could have easily doubled as a male fashion model, and had a unique sound and gift in his music. I'll never forget that, and I've pulled up some songs every few years. I had no idea he passed. This is a beautiful song.
THE ABSOLUTE EPITOME OF GREAT SONGWRITING. R.I.P. HAL.
Hal Ketchum was a very talented artist. I love all his music. I'm going to miss him , But Thankful he left us wonderful music to remember him by. God bless you Hal, sing with the Angels.😔
RIP, one of my favorites.
Still such a beautiful voice! RIP! you will be so missed!
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STRONG VOICE, EVEN WHEN HE WAS NOT WELL. I WILL MISS HIM SO VERY MUCH
RIP Hal...you will always leave me with great memories. My late father and I would always listen to your music.
Damn. Top 5 talent of all time. So sad right now
I always loved this song. I loved Hal's unique voice. I was sad to hear of Hal's passing. Rest In Peace fly high.
My father passed from dementia just last year. All my grieving, all my mourning, all my tears, all of him that I could remember filled my mind last december.
My prayers to all here, and the Ketchum family who have suffered and rejoiced along side anyone who battled dementia.
So sad. RIP Hal. Your songs were great and one was even my wifes and mine wedding dance song.
you are sorely missed, Hal
Have always enjoyed your music. We go way back.
Hal was one of my favourite voices ever, followed his career since the 90's. His songs got me through some tough moments.
God Bless you !! Big Love and thank you for your music !!💖🙏
Miss you Hal !!!
The last time I heard this I was in the Navy in 93 I was young and hadn't yet experienced the level of Sorrow that the song talks about. Seems like only a few moments ago I was there and now I'm instantly catapulted decades later to this present moment. In which the familiarity of the song exist but my experiences now explain the song Perfectly to me.
Loved his video “Small Town Saturday Night”, with the 1938 western movie “The Terror of Tiny Town” playing on the screen in the background!
I'll always remember watching Hal sing Hang in there Superman and my sister (5 yrs old at the time) noticed his wedding ring and started crying because she had it set she'd marry him one day ❤️. RIP Hal.
Such cute memories ❤️ time is a strange thing.
I saw him in Rochester, Mn back in 95 or so, then did security detail as he played a gig 24 years later. He got off the bus and was kind to me. As I gig out in public I do a few of his songs....now including this one. Kevin Kleist music on facebook. RIP
I got this album or cd when it came out. I was 21 I think. I really liked small town Saturday night. But I listened to the whole thing and I remember hearing this song the first time. It made a life long impression on me. So I’m 54 now and still listening. I also still have the cd that I still listen to sometimes.
Been listening to Hal for 30 years, so many great memories associated with his songs. Lucky to have seen a couple California concerts in recents years. Take care Hal, your music is a gift.
Man....what a song...what a singer. awesome. RIP Hal.
Brilliant performance.
Any doubts about how talented Hal was? My goodness this is awesome!
He is absolutely the best.
My heart still ~ ❤️
Pure thankful. You’ve been an inspiration ~ my entire life.
I hope you’re doing well ~ I’m hoping joy ~ in your life. Good healing and health. All blessings. For yourself ~
& ~ Your Mary.
Perfect sound 🌄to me🌊is perfect peace.
🖤💙
What a virtuoso storyteller and architect of so many perfectly written (and sung) songs. Thank you, Hal
Great, great voice!!!!!!!
Wonderful song!!!
Another good artist gone too soon. RIP Hal..
another of my heroes down...RIP
Good to see him pickin and singin with ole KG. Great pair. One of the greatest mysteries to me is how this man never became a superstar. Obviously, I hear something more than most of the music execs when I hear him sing. One of the purest voices ever. Can't get enough of Hal's music
Such an amazing voice Rest in Peace.
I’ll always love your music.
yes it was sad hearin of hals passin....seen him in glasgows grand ole opry ..thank god i took the video ..and recorded most of the show .even got to talk to him on the break outside that night .and he spoke to fans at end of the night ...a great man .just great memories... Rip hal....
Absolutely one of the most beautiful voices of the music and very underrated. Thank you for share your talent hith us Hal.
What an amazing voice.....the sadness in his eyes makes me really humble ......what a great singer
I didn't know he was gone
till now 3/14/2021. My wife and I used to listen to his songs on road trips. This one got alot of replay. Now it's hard to listen knowing the man is no longer with us.
😢 you are missed .. thank you!
Hal still sounds wonderful I have been a lover of his music from his beginning. He is one on lifes gifts.
RIP Hal.
Holy cow, he still sounds the same. What a great talent that will be truly missed by the selected few of us with real taste.
Good soong. RIP Hal.
I've always loved "I Miss My Mary", but this version is too mournful for me to hold back the tears. Thanks, Hal. RIP
Beautiful song! Rest in peace phenomenal Hal! You are already being missed. God bless, comforts and gives his wife and his 5 kids the strength they need to carry on. Such a great loss!
