    Fil, I’m soooo impressed by your musical taste. This guy is a class act thick and through. I have seen Travis Tritt live a few times and between the attitude, the voice, the playing, the writing, the arranging-to me, there aren’t many country acts that come together like his. Thanks for presenting such awesome variety to us in your analyses.

    In 1986-88, I lived in a place outside of Atlanta, Georgia, and worked at a Kroger store. Travis came into the store quite often, as he was good friends with our produce manager, Chris. Travis is one of the nicest men I ever have ever had the pleasure of meeting, (and talking with on a semi-regular basis) so THANK YOU for this one.

    Travis Tritt has been one of my favorite artist since he first hit the scene. He almost gave it but Charlie Daniels (RIP) wouldn’t let him.

    Hi Fil! Travis Tritt is known as being a bit wild, but in reality he is quite soft spoken, and just a sweet guy..I saw him in a different format talking, and explaining his discomfort at being known as a bit crazy, and it was striking! Just had to add that tidbit about him! It was surprising to me to find such a family man! Travis is just flat out one great musician! Not much I can add to your analysis! Have a great rest of week! Keep rocking! ✌️

    Great analysis!👏 I was impressed with Travis Tritt when I saw the video of him singing "Take it Easy" with the Eagles , he sang that better than the Eagles! Omg I would literally do cartwheelsi & flips if "you" were to sing that song. You could sing so many different genres of music and do them well but I know your "Rock". There is nothing wrong with being a Southerner, I'm one from Florida and "excluding the covid-19 virus" which has gotten worse I think it's the best part of the country. I always wanted to travel to the UK, Scotland, Norway, etc maybe one day if I win the lottery, lol. Ok I know you have better things to do sooooo, so long for now.

    Not a big lyric guy but the third stanza always amazes me, and makes me laugh inside...
    Poor girl wants to marry and a rich girl wants to flirt
    Rich man goes to college and a poor man goes to work
    Drunkard wants another drink of wine and a politician wants a vote
    I don't want much of nothing at all but I will take another toke :)

    Travis Tritt is a very good guitar player,obviously. I believe Travis is playing a Gibson Chet Atkins SST. This is a solid body acoustic electric. Travis is pictured playing several different Chet Atkins SST's in a couple of different videos,it is a popular guitar. Travis has been trying to keep his politics out of his music (big Bush 43 supporter NRA supporter) but did manage to call out Meryl Streep for her anti-Trump comments. It is Travis's politics that keep me from being a fan. Fil is the star of tonight's analysis. Thanks Fil.

    Unlike many other - Americans? - he does not take himself too seriously. If you don't know what I mean, check out his videos T-R-O-U-B-L-E and '10 ft tall and bulletproof'. Lyrics of the latter below...
    I'm a full grown man
    That's plain to see
    But nowhere near as full grown
    As I'd like to be
    But I'll find a bar
    And I'll have a few
    Until I'm ten feet tall and bulletproof
    Now, I'd hit the dance floor
    Each time I'd have the chance
    That is if these two left feet
    Knew how to dance
    'Bout the only time
    I'm kicking up my shoes
    Is when I'm ten feet tall and bulletproof
    Well, I start to feel like Superman
    Then I pick a fight
    Only to find that my opponent's
    Holding kryptonite
    You'd think I'd learn my lesson
    But, I'm still paying dues
    Each time I drink and start to think
    I'm ten feet tall and bulletproof
    My woman left me
    She called me a clown
    Well, that's the general consensus
    In this town
    Lord, to tell the truth
    For acting ten feet tall and bulletproof

    Sounds pretty much like standard, commercially-co-opted "outlaw country" to me; basic cowboy-chord strumming with some tasty lead licks; and the obligatory "rah-rah wave the flag" politics-du-jour thrown in, with ad-libbed lines about Bin Laden and voting for the Pledge of Allegiance. More to the point, the audience just doesn't get it; this isn't a song about joining in and clapping in unison as one, it's not a song about conformity, or a song to line-dance to, it's a song about being left alone to do your own thing, and hopefully not getting beaten up for having long hair and taking a little toke (or having a peace sign on your Chevy as in Uneasy Rider). It's a friggin' protest song against corruption, classism, and the conformist pressure of society as a whole.
    Doubtless someone will take me to task for injecting politics into this discussion, but it is indeed a political song, made more so by Tritt's lyric changes here and the fact that Charlie Daniels was frequently writing diatribes on the Internet against anyone who disagreed with the narrow minded, judgemental person he became. If you are a public figure, singing and writing about political subjects, you do not get to exist in a vacuum, and other people have the right to disagree. You know, the First Amendment, the hallowed "free exchange of ideas", and so on and so forth...

      Don't worry, as I often say it's not an instructional video, I just grab the closest guitar to me to show the rough elements as a guide 🙂

    Great tune but sounds like Travis Tritt ripped off Johnny Cash...
    'Folsom Prison'
    He changed the chorus melody just enough to avoid copyright infraction.
