The first thing I remember knowin'
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And a young un's dream of growin' up to ride
On a freight train leavin' town
Not knowin' where I'm bound
And no one could change my mind but Mama tried
One and only rebel child
From a family, meek and mild
My Mama seemed to know what lay in store
Despite all my Sunday learnin'
Towards the bad, I kept on turnin'
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
Dear old Daddy, rest his soul
Left my Mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Workin' hours without rest
Wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right but I refused
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
I'm a Mexican 19 year old city guy and I love this!
I never get tired of listening to these guys version of this Haggard classic. Dang their good!!
That master tone sounds great. Wish I had one.
Man this is beyond beautiful. I have no southern blood in me but damn I love this bluegrass. Sounds awesome gents, tight harmonies are especially nice.
thats it
Don't know why but this gives me goosebumples!
I'm from Brazil, but I love bluegrass.
Great performance of a great song! IIIrd Tyme Out is the real deal.
Classic straight-ahead bluegrass - I could listen to this group all day!
The best music, keep listening to this over and over- mama tried
I'm sure Merle was very pleased with this cover.
I love this version it's just so bloody good I can even picture myself on the top of a train carriage, you know like James Dean in East of Eden
Yea.. if you could go on and make a CD with this on it that would be great...
Gabe Thomason or have it on iTunes
This song is both beautiful and sad at the same time.
Man. I wish some of these were on Spotify...
One of the best acts in all of bluegrass music, and I've seen many.
Hard to beat the sound that 111rd time out lays down. We used to go hear and see them at Foggh Hollow in Alabama. Twice a year and it was awesome !!!!
Awesome Band!
Used to see them every year at Graves Mountain Syria, Virginia Bluegrass Festival.
Also, Lonesome River Band at Graves every year.
Why did your Band stop playing there? We miss you!
Good Times…
This here is good pickin
I saw Russell years ago when he was about 18, singing with a group headed by Johnny Martin. I knew then there was a lot of good music in that boy. IIIrd Tyme Out is good - they sing the good old timey bluegrass that I love.
Play country roads take me home by John Denver
Merl yea!
Every time I listen to this song makes my belief ever stronger that god is there . Merle was truly blessed. Love you Mr. Merle Haggard.
Sound is dull but this group is a champion group with soul
Play take me home country Roads by John Denver
Damn, son
Great! Wonderful harmony! Looking forward to seeing you in Manteo, NC this fall!
Dag! Sing it Russell!!

My mom tried to rase a good boy I'm nothing but a fool
I love you mom 💌
Any guitar picker know if that's a Collings guitar Russell is playing? Sure looks like one!
I believe that to be a Gary Cotten guitar.
Pure americana
Yo are the perfect detail
I loved Russell " Erase the Miles " this song needs the craggy voice of Merle Haggard. Moores voice is too perfect..... go figure.
Looks like a U67 on top.
The hole band are brilliant but l am bias towards the banjo.Real class.
I can't believe I'm saying this...But I like it even better than Merle's original. Yeah, I know that was wrong ...sorry Merle. 5 Stars!!!
Like Kenny Rogers sing.
ディズニーランドのクリッターカントリーにいる気分になる。
Put the banjo in the next room!! Good player, just over rides!!
