He has written so many songs that were hits for other people before he started recoding them himself..He's been doing it from the 50's. There are videos of him from that time. You should listen to "blue eyes crying in the rain", you'll love it.
It is so touching to watch Amber just fall in love when a the lyrics of a song touch her heart ("I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that your mine."). "He's looking back at it, wishing he'd done everything the right way." Don't we all feel that way about so many things.
@@Wolverines77 underrated means not valued highly enough. I think it can apply is this person's comment. Maybe you should spend some time reflecting on why you deem it necessary to waste your time incorrectly correcting others.
My music alarm is Willie singing Angel flying to close to the ground. Ever time I try to change it to another song to wake up to , I keep coming back. His voice and the guitar and this song, is a perfect way to wake up
When we lose Willy, it is going to be a sad, sad day. Thanks for reacting to Willy. One of the greatest country and western singer/songwriters and probably the biggest proponent of weed in history. It was always headline news when Willy's tour bus would get stopped by the cops on the highway (no pun intended) and he'd get busted for possession. (This was before laws had loosened up over weed) News stations would be filming when Willy was released from the cop shop and Willy always walked out with a big ole grin on his face basically saying, "Til next time, guys."....and there were a lot of next times. lol Take care and be well, guys. Peace.
and he also has an unique voice, that is hard to copy, the only one who comes close to his voice is his son, if you hear his son sing this song and close your eyes, it's willy all over again he is truly one of the true living country legends
@@colinshard8665 yeah when they covered dont breathe by Pearl Jam I listened to that song ALOT with out realizing his son signs with him and they didn’t put featuring Lucas
A American treasure . Willie is a legend and a truly good soul dive in there are at least 6 decades of great music. Also he has 3 sons and a sister that sing. One of his sons sound remarkabley just like him.
Always on My Mind" is a ballad written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, first released by Gwen McCrae (as "You Were Always on My Mind") in 1972. Brenda Lee also released a version in 1972. The song has been a crossover hit, charting in both the country and western and pop categories. AllMusic lists over 300 recorded releases of the song in versions by dozens of performers.[1] While Lee's version stalled at number 45 on the US country chart in 1972, other performers reached the top 20 in the United States and elsewhere with their own versions: Elvis Presley in 1972; John Wesley Ryles in 1979; Willie Nelson's Grammy Award-winning version in 1982; and Pet Shop Boys in 1987.
I first saw Willie Nelson in 1971 when I was waiting for a job to open up in Brownsville,Tx. My wife and I were staying in San Antonio and there was a local radio station that would announce whenever Willie Nelson and his band were going to give a free concert ar the Helotes general store about 30 minutes away. During the 4 years we were in Texas we saw Willie at least 8 times with each being better than the previous one. He always treated everyone great, rich, poor, white black or brown. What a great and talented guy. Salt of the earth.
He was part of two legendary duos he teamed up with Waylon Jennings for a while and he made a record with Merle Haggard and then formed a super group called the Highwaymen along with Johnny Cash , Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash
Hello from Paris France that beautifull song was singing by Elvis Presley, its the original from the King for his wife. Its the studio version filmed, the king with glasses in the musical studio, with all the orchestra. So amazing beautifull. See you very soon. Tony from Paris 😊
A song Willie covered that's great is "Pancho and Lefty" that he did with another country legend Merle Haggard. Written by a great song writer Townes Van Sant. I think you should check it out! Great reaction as always guys!
When I lived in Dallas my mother in law who worked for a big wig downtown, got given $1500 tickets to go to a charity event in Fort Worth, at Billy Bobs. Willie Nelson performed, BJ Thomas, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and there were others, all of the old Cowboys were there, Lee Roy Jordan, Ed, Too Tall Jones etc. I didn't realize that the tickets were right on the stage, and there was a dinner served and all of the people that performed came and sat at our table, including Willie. I was a little star struck, so I didn't say much, but Willie was soft spoken and seemed like a genuine guy. His music was great in person, and BJ Thomas' voice was so pure and perfect. It was a memorable night.
Willie wrote “Crazy” that was a big hit for Patsy Cline. He also wrote “Hello Walls” that was recorded by Faron Young in 1961. Please do a reaction of Hello Walls w/lyrics by Faron Young, it was a big hit for him and no one but him ever done this song justice. Thanks 👋
Cried for this one. Widowed Dec 2020 after 40+ years. She knew, and when asked, she replied[ Willie- "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain". Sad but also Inspiring and redempted. I'll cry for that one too.
Willie has been getting it right for a long, long time. From his early days as a songwriter. You guys did Patsy Cline singing Crazy. That was Willies writing. He is 88 years old. Still and always an incredible talent.
For Female Friday: Ronnie Spector - ‘Be My Baby’ Bette Midler - ‘From a Distance’ Toni Braxton - ‘Un-Break My Heart’ Whitney Houston - I Have Nothing’ Roberta Flack - ‘First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ Other notables: Christopher Cross - ‘Sailing,’ Kayne Brown - ‘Worship You,’ Kool and The Gang - ‘Celebration,’ Dan Fogelberg - ‘Same Old Lang Syne’ Luther Vandross - ‘Dance With My Father’
Love this "original" version!! Willie is a sing writing Genius!! You should check out "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" and "Angel Flying too Close to the Ground"
It was written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, then first released by Gwen McCrae in 1972. Brenda Lee and Elvis also released a version in 1972. Willie did his version in 1982.
Willie is without a doubt a true inspiration. It's different, but this song reminds me of Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" - it's very emotional (especially if you know the background which is tragic) and heartfelt. A wonderful piece by Eric - highly recommended.
The song that he did with Toby Keith, "Beer for my horses" is a total banger. The official video with Willie as a retired LEO and Toby playing his son as a current LEO chasing a serial killer was quite entertaining.
One of the things that really sets Willie apart is his phrasing. Listen to his tests, the time that he holds notes for, the changes in pitch. He does all these without upsetting the time signature or the key of a song. I do not know of any other singer who does all those things. Put all that together with his unique voice and you get magic. Something else that is often unnoticed is his range. He makes everything sound so easy and effortless that you don't even realize how wide a range he's covered. I didn't notice it until I was singing along one day and found that I had bottomed out on my range. Willie still sounded like he'd never dropped below a deep tenor, yet unnoticed he'd eased down to bass.
He phrases behind the beat. Billie Holiday was also known for the technique. It’s most common in jazz, but also blues and rock. Check out “Honky Tonk Woman” by the Stones. Drummers and guitar players use the technique as well.
Willie did the first Austin City Limits performance. It was Oct. 1974 and Willie looks young enough that it could be that show. He still plays the same guitar and it has had a whole in it for years now.
He has some great duets also. Toby Keith he did "Whiskey for My Men, Beer for My Horses", "Pancho and Lefty" with the late great Merle Haggard. Also, a hysterical one is the live version with Willie watching Toby Keith singing "I'll Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again" I think Snoop Dog said the same thing. 😂😂
I saw him live in Amsterdam and it felt like we were at family party in the vilage hall. His warmth brought the whole audience together. His guitar playing was mesmorising as well. He is a true star, something extra to him, I have seen many great performers but none had more charisma or talent than Willy... some were as good, none better.
You should listen to some of his duets with Waylon Jennings like Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys or Luckenbach, Texas; also, check out Waylon Jennings' solo work, so good.
how can we express how great he is. We of cannabis culture have so much respect for him. There are so many great songs and such a long history. We love Willie.
"Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" is my favorite song by him. Also check out the multiple duos and "groups" (The Highwaymen) he's performed with. American icon
My Dad was a huge Willie fan, probably because he met him when they were both in the Air Force back in the 50’s. The last concert that my parents went to before he died was to see Willie. My mother now can’t hear Willie without crying.
Love Willie Nelson!! Thank you for reacting to this one. You should try Whiskey River, On the Road Again, Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, Georgia on my Mind, and his duets. My favorite duets are Mommas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys, Luckenbach, Texas, Pancho & Lefty, Beer for my Horses. Also, he collaborated with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson on the Highwaymen which is amazing.
Yes, he can sing, play, and perform effortlessly, wrote many, many, songs (did some acting). Yes, his son is good as well. Never forget his sister plays for him on the piano.
I hit the LIKE button as soon as I saw the title! I have always LOVED this song & I am so glad y'all picked it to listen to. I would also recommend his songs "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain", "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" (with Julio Inglesias), "Whiskey River", "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys", "Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground", "Let It Be Me", "On The Road Again" (if you haven't already), "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys"( with Waylon Jennings), "Highwayman" (with Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, & Waylon Jennings) & his version of Patsy Cline's song, "Crazy". I adore Willie Nelson!
"Crazy" is his song done by Patsy Cline. And to your list I would add "Funny How Time Slips Away" which was said to be written the same week as "Crazy" in 1962. I would also love a reaction to "Red-Headed Stranger". You can see a much younger Willie without a beard perform it live here: czcams.com/video/OWOEfE22wow/video.html
This song is so beautiful. Here’s another great one by Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris who collaborated to make the most beautiful sounding trio ever. This one’s from their second album togetherczcams.com/video/Cnieh0Y1V-o/video.html. It will take your breath away. It’s called “High Sierra”. 🎄🌺✌️
This song always makes me cry. My dad worked 2 jobs for yrs as there were 7 of us kids. He dedicated this to our mom. He was gone so much and obviously very tired. She passed away 2 weeks before their 50th anniversary.😢
Hey you all, Willie is in his 70's and still working. He is on tour now - The Outlaw Music Festival.. You two will LOVE this! He is mellow and smooth! You two's statement about how it sounds like it is studio. Is one of the ways I determine the great ones. Well Willie is better than great. He has written so much wonderful music.
He has written so many songs that were hits for other people before he started recoding them himself..He's been doing it from the 50's. There are videos of him from that time. You should listen to "blue eyes crying in the rain", you'll love it.
Another vote for "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"
Yes, Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain is my favourite Willie Nelson song
Add me to that list "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" is a must.
Blue Eyes is one of my top songs of all time.
I'll add my vote for this, too. "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" is one of my top 3 all time favorite songs.
It is so touching to watch Amber just fall in love when a the lyrics of a song touch her heart ("I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that your mine.").
"He's looking back at it, wishing he'd done everything the right way." Don't we all feel that way about so many things.
Good 'ol Willie. If you dive into this rabbit hole, do "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys" and "To All The Girls I've Loved Before."
Angel Flying Too Close to The Ground... One of my favorites, most beautiful songs by Willie.
The man is a National Treasure...PERIOD!
Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain. My favorite Willie song.
Woman who plays the piano, is Willie's older sister, Bobbie Nelson. She is 90 while Willie is 88. Both of them are still active.
On the Road Again is a must.
A great song writer.
He is an amazing songwriter, but as this song shows, he can take another songwriters work and put out an amazing performance.
time slips away and on the road again willie hits the soul
"Crazy" is a song written by Willie Nelson and popularized by country singer Patsy Cline in 1961. Willie did a nice job singing it himself.
I didn't know that Willy wrote that. Thank you. Love Willie, love Patsy Kline....
I didn't know that either. That is literally crazy.
Cline
My favorite version of this song. I LOVE Willy!
"Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" is a signature song of Willie's.
This song is first made by Brenda Lee, covered many times by even Elvis Presley, but this ..Willie Nelson's cover is the best cover by far!!
This song was written by Willy. And, I am.pretty sure Patsy had it first and made.it hers
Can't ever go wrong with Willie !❤️
Willie is a national treasure.
@@mikemaricle9941 and to think he was always stoned..luv it
Willie has written over 300 songs. Many hits. A great entertainer and a very underrated guitar player. He's really a great picker.
U N D E R A P P R E C I A T E D, NOT UNDERATED... What is underrated is un derstanding the definitions of words by the masses...
Indeed one of the greatest guitarists alive today.
@@Wolverines77 underrated means not valued highly enough. I think it can apply is this person's comment. Maybe you should spend some time reflecting on why you deem it necessary to waste your time incorrectly correcting others.
His version of Blue eyes crying in the rain,Angel flying too close to the ground, and especially Stardust are the best!!
The guitar solo in AFTCTTG is awesome..
Excellent choices, all three!
The whole Stardust album is GREAT!
My music alarm is Willie singing Angel flying to close to the ground. Ever time I try to change it to another song to wake up to , I keep coming back. His voice and the guitar and this song, is a perfect way to wake up
Damn, I forgot about "Stardust"...thanks for picking that one.
Willie Nelson was one of my grandmothers favorite singers ever.
COUNTRY LEGEND 🔝
His talented and beautiful sister Bobbie on piano , truly no other

This song 🎵is just so beautiful, and Willie Nelson sings it with such gentle soul, and sincerity. You ought to love 💘it. Enjoy 😉😉
That’s his sister on piano. Can never go wrong with Willie. He has a very unmistakable voice and even more unmistakable guitar sound.
Sadly His Sister Passed Away This Past Summer, Leaving Willie Obviously Devastated. 💔💔💔

You must check out the Highwaymen
Super group
Willie - Waylon Jennings -Johnny cash -kris Kristofferson
Great live show
My favorite Willie Nelson is: 'Angel flying to close, to the Ground' 🙌
Willy is a National treasure. Full stop. The world is better with him in it and his loss will one day leave a hole we can’t fill.
A American treasure . Willie is a legend and a truly good soul dive in there are at least 6 decades of great music. Also he has 3 sons and a sister that sing. One of his sons sound remarkabley just like him.
A lot of great singers have done this song but to me Willie will always be the best.
In a plethora of Willie songs . This is my favorite
You don't even have to be a Willie Nelson fan to love this tune!! It's just so pure and dare I say soulful!
WILLIE NELSON is my major man of music! I'm the ultimate fan and have t-shirts to prove it!
Next time you check out Willie try Blue Eyes Cryin' In The Rain. It's one of his best, in my humble opinion. 💙
one of the greatest love songs ever... many have recorded and performed it... but none even touch Willie's rendition.
Willie's phrasing is spectacular. Like he's having a conversation.
I saw Willie live and he is an awesome performer. Just beautiful.

Check out "Crazy". He wrote it, but lots of people have covered it including Patsy Cline and Linda Ronstadt.
You can hear it in Grand Theft Auto, of all places.
He is the nicest singer that I have ever met. He used to always stay and sign autographs and let you take pictures with him. Such a sweet heart.
Willie is another cornerstone of music period.

Last time I saw Willie live was New Year’s Eve 1999-2000 , it was such a special show. Everyone should see Willie perform live at least once.
Angel flying to close to the ground by willie is one ofbthe most beautiful songs. Willie nelsonwas my mom's favorite singer other than janis.
I love this song by Willie, so raw and natural
Love this "original" version!! Willie is a sing writing Genius!!
You should check out "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" and "Angel Flying too Close to the Ground"
Willie didn't write this and it was recorded before him. This is a cover.
Blue eyes crying in the rain is absolutely lovely. Ooooh they should check out Highwaymen.
This is not an original version, Willie has done many, many covers
Yes by all means check those two song out
It was written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, then first released by Gwen McCrae in 1972. Brenda Lee and Elvis also released a version in 1972. Willie did his version in 1982.
My favorite. Also, ON THE ROAD AGAIN.
Willie is without a doubt a true inspiration. It's different, but this song reminds me of Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" - it's very emotional (especially if you know the background which is tragic) and heartfelt. A wonderful piece by Eric - highly recommended.
I agree with Ambers describing his voice as "earthy "... yep and Amen.
The song that he did with Toby Keith, "Beer for my horses" is a total banger. The official video with Willie as a retired LEO and Toby playing his son as a current LEO chasing a serial killer was quite entertaining.
One of my all time faves of Willie!! 💖💖💖
One of the things that really sets Willie apart is his phrasing. Listen to his tests, the time that he holds notes for, the changes in pitch.

"Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"
"Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground"
"City of New Orleans"
"Riders In The Sky"
Are just a few in his catalog.
Willie.. one of the best! ❤️ this song always makes me weep.
Willie has a distinctive way of phrasing, both with his voice and his guitar, that just takes you somewhere. One of a kind.
He phrases behind the beat. Billie Holiday was also known for the technique. It’s most common in jazz, but also blues and rock. Check out “Honky Tonk Woman” by the Stones. Drummers and guitar players use the technique as well.
A statement that he made to his band and roadies, “If you are wired, you’re fired”! His non tolerance for hard drugs.
He looks so young in this video!!! Love me some Willie!!!🎵🎼🎶🎤🎸🥁💜💜
Willie did the first Austin City Limits performance. It was Oct. 1974 and Willie looks young enough that it could be that show. He still plays the same guitar and it has had a whole in it for years now.
His guitar, Trigger has even appeared alone on a CZcams channel on a maintenance (not repair) visit to the Luthier shop! 😄
I've had a crush on Willie Nelson since I was a child. I love him 😍😍
He has some great duets also. Toby Keith he did "Whiskey for My Men, Beer for My Horses", "Pancho and Lefty" with the late great Merle Haggard. Also, a hysterical one is the live version with Willie watching Toby Keith singing "I'll Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again" I think Snoop Dog said the same thing. 😂😂
This is my absolute favorite Willie song out of oh so many greats.
As someone who has seen him live several times, the man sounds better live than any recording he's ever done.

Best version…. And original… way better than anyone’s cover…even Elvis’. Glad u all gave him a chance! Happy day after Christmas!
Willie isn't the original for this song. Elvis covered it in 1972 and Willie covered it in 1982.

I'm in tears! So beautiful
Love Willie Nelson!! Thank you for reacting to this one. You should try Whiskey River, On the Road Again, Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, Georgia on my Mind, and his duets. My favorite duets are Mommas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys, Luckenbach, Texas, Pancho & Lefty, Beer for my Horses. Also, he collaborated with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson on the Highwaymen which is amazing.
All those songs are 🔥🔥🔥
Still love his version of ALL OF ME, since 1978, when I was 16 years old.
The soul and pain in this man's voice when he recorded this song just brings me to tears. And always has everytime I hear it.

"Crazy" was written and preformed by Willie Nelson before Patsy Cline sung it.
Patsy made "Crazy" her song and Willie loved/loves Patsy's version.

Love this song and "Angel Flying too Close to the Ground".
Willie is one of the best and he has perfect pitch. Love his style and song interpretation. Cheers from Canada
Hey you all,
Willie is in his 70's and still working. He is on tour now - The Outlaw Music Festival.. You two will LOVE this! He is mellow and smooth! You two's statement about how it sounds like it is studio. Is one of the ways I determine the great ones. Well Willie is better than great. He has written so much wonderful music.
