    I'm a child of the mid 70's and early 80's. I loved it from Meatloaf, but man, gotta say...Jamey gives it a whole new meaning. I think he definitely does it justice in the country genre. The way he sings it, I forget its even a Meatloaf song. For those haters who say some songs shouldn't be re-made...keep an open mind. I think it depends on the artist, not the song.

      Steinman was heavily influenced by country western music and definitely would have approved.
      Also...that lap steel is sweet!
      Edit: There's and interview w/JS on YT where he says that this was written with country influence in mind.

      April, we lost Meat loaf this year. Jimmy Buffett is in, disrepair? I knew Meat's version, but this one, well, sounds solid in my soul. This, and, certain other Meatloaf songs, Remind me of younger days. I am knocking on 60, however, I am still young at heart sis!!!!! I hope you are as well. Peace, John. Humbled.

  • @johnkennedyjr733

    Jamey makes every word of this song hang there for like 5 minutes it seems. It's almost like he's reading it to a classroom out of a book for a lesson except his voice is phenomenal. He completely stripped down a song that was pretty much already stripped down. You absolutely hang on to every single word. I've heard Jamie do many versions of cover songs he does a great job on a lot of them but when I heard this one I said there's nothing Jamie can't do. Such respect to meatloaf by the way he did this. Thank God for Jamey Johnson for bringing integrity to traditional country music and never half-assing anything. And thanks to the late Don Imus for asking him to do this. Simply simply brilliant

But with Jamey you hang on to every single word. He does it so good that you don't even disrespect him by singing along you just listen and let him do his thing. A true masterpiece this is.

    I can't seem to stop listening/watching this video - I heard it on my way to work one morning, listening to Imus & absolutely fell in love with this guys voice & then watched the video when I got home & have been hooked. Hats off to the camera dude(tte)(s) as well.

    @jtp1389 I gave up on radio many years ago and am so grateful for Sirius XM radio. I would be lost without it. They play Jamey on Outlaw Country which is a station of SirXM.

    Love meatloaf. But have to say I like this also. Love the steal guitar . Reminds me of my dad . He played one when I was a kid and it's a great memory of mine
