- This totally kicks major country ass!!!!....Notice how he says it's his "new record"....some of the guys playing here, are on his original Hilltop record....Charlie Justice on fiddle and Sonny Curtis on steel.
This country music is better than anything they call country today.
That's been the case since 1975, with a few exceptions.
Totally agree 👍
WSM 650 Eddie Stubb's use to play this almost every night on the Station. He would pick the turntable arm up and replay the intro part.
Still listen 2023.62yrs old and remembering the best COUNTRY Music ever.
I'm an Ohio boy..Johnny was born right up the road from me....he's still my hero even though he's gone...a lot of great memories listening to him.😊
donnie Young I Know Him To I am From New Lebanon Ohio I played Steel for Him At the American Legion dont Get Him sore At Ya
talk about having a great apprenticeship, and then he was able to like get paid to get the tutelage of the great George Jones how he used his voice. I saw Merle Haggard sick in the last 2 months of his life, same i was amazed hoe he used his voice
@@frankiedaymodels8529 I played with him some in his later years. (1993) He was a little more calmed down by then. lol but I saw him get mad at a sound man when he hit the fog machine. Oh he was MAD!!!! I had to sit my guitar down and run out the stage door around the building through policeman and traffic through the front door. Tell them who I was & get to the soundman and tell him to cut it off. He was pissed!
I love him and his music. I hope I see him in heaven.
I was blessed enough to play guitar in his band October 1993. It was John,his brother Jeff Little on guitar,myself on guitar,Dean Townsend bass guitar,Hank Miles drums,Dennis Russell piano, & the great Walter Haynes on Steel Guitar. Greatest experience ever! He could sing every song a little differently each night & every single version would make your hairs stand up. Especially when we did Old Violin & In memory of a memory. R.I.P.
Ole Johnny had his problems allright, but, I think he deserves a place in the Hall of Fame.
definitely!
Thanks Amber. I’ve never seen Paycheck look clean like that!
The beard came in the 70's.
Came to find this clip of Paycheck on Bass from seeing it used in Mike Judge's:
Tales from the Tour Bus.
Shredding ,tapping and slapping and all that is impressive ,but to Walk a Bass like that nice and steady that seamlessly is Bliss.
Ive heard country music fans say that he wasnt a good singer or musician but man he was a great singer and musician
And he's the original outlaw singer, long before Waylon or Willie.
Tops
I have never seen Johnny Paycheck play the bass before. Every other clip I have ever seen he is playing a regular guitar. He was actually a very good bass player. These guys all make playing look so effortless, great musicians. Great song.
He played bass for Ray price that's how he got his start. In fact he actually replaced Willie Nelson in that band
He also played steel. One talented guy.
He was truly amazing! Last time I saw him play the Opry he was so pitiful. Had his oxygen with him and it wasn’t long after he left us. Legend!
Johnny was a member of The Jones Boys band in this clip.
He was a good steel guitar player too
You are correct. Johnny played steel, base, and guitar. He did it all.
At one time in Nashville, Johnny Paycheck was one of the greatest bases of all time most people didn’t know that
Completely perfect !! walking the bass and singing all same time soooo incredible!! perfect pitch EVERY NOTE!!!
My favorite country musician of all time. He has a lot to teach us about human failings, forgiveness, and redemption. I also think it's cool that he's a bass player too. A11 rules.
He was also a steel player, played for Buck Owens and Wynn Stewart.
One of my favourite kickoff and turnaround ever! I’m proud of a photo of me and Johnny taken in 1972,used by Wicker Bill on his post of (Pardon Me) I’ve Got Someone To Kill.
If you love country music you have to love paycheck
One of the greatest country writers and singers that ever came down the rd.
The Legend wrote this one.
Johnny had such an amazing voice!!
Lets get this strait. Paul Wayne did not work for George Jones, ever. I worked for George in the sixties along with my two brothers, Don and Gary Adams. We took Paul with us a time or two. Paul Angel started Donny Young/aka/ Paycheck in the music field in Greenfield, Oh. George influenced Paycheck and Paycheck influnced us. Paul Wayne did give me a start as his drummer. I will always give him credit for that.
Mike judge did a good job showing the moments. Thank you sir
The Adams brothers was my favorite part of Tales from the Tour Bus. Rest in Peace, Arnie
The best of 60s Country wrapped up in one song. So good.
I used to sit in a tavern in Arizona called the Saddle and and Spur drinking tap beer and putting quarters in the juke box. I just had to play A-11 about 3 times before crossing the street to go to the B & P Palace pool hall and play table shuffleboard and 8 ball. We had some great times in the mid 60s. In fact I used to work at the pool hall. Not there anymore just the empty bldg is left.
This more than kicks the shit out of modern country, this is the definition of Country!! Thank you so much for posting!!
Definitely is real country music.
Gtrman
Good beyond words!
Yes sirrrr
You all probably dont give a shit but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
Was a time you had to have talent to be country now days they don't
In the 70s and early 80s I had a band playing the European circuit. We backed and fronted many touring recording stars. We played with johnny on all his tours. He and Dave Dudley were our favorites. Just down home fun and natural people. May he rest in peace.
His performance of this song is great, love how you hear them turn on the reverb effect right before they start performing. Love classic audio mixing and country.
Not a bad bassist, either !! Consider he's playing and singing at the same time. A natural player !!
he did
Phil Lesh said that singing while playing bass is a "dark art." I cannot dispute that.
Phil Lesh damn right about that as it’s so hard to pick out notes and sing as oppose to chords. Nick Lowe did it well
He played for Ray Price, tell you anything? 😅
Glen Davis is playing the drums on this clip as well - he later became staff drummer for the Grand Ole Opry (1970s-1990s). Love his version of this song the best
This was a t.v. program in OKC called Country Social and hosted by Danny Williams. If you look you can find another video from the same program with JP and George singing. That video tells all about the program.
It was probably Danny's birthday!
Beautiful song...Lord Jeezus what gorgeous work on that fiddle..
Philip Dunwood i
My friend on the Lone Star cafe in Manhattan. He was personal friends with Johnny And has a ton of things Johnny gave to him. The stories he tells Are absolutely incredible
Hey Matthewwilson37, you still around?
these boys were so tight you couldn't slide a piece of paper between them
JOHNNY PAYCHECK IS PURE COUNTRY SINGER RIP
I think the interludes before each verse have the most interesting and original chord progressions! Fabulous!!
I discovered this song while listening to Sirus XM's Willie's Roadhouse channel
Great Song
Same here!
Fortunately I can pick up 2 Classic Country stations in the Piedmont of North Carolina....North of Charlotte about 30 miles.
Written by song writing icon, Hank Cochran. Johnny Paycheck, really knew how to belt this one out.
Imagine my surprise at seeing Danny Williams as the host of this particular clip! for those that did't grow up in Oklahoma City, Danny was a radio and tv legend from the late 1940's till around the late 2000's. I was Danny's sidekick on the KOMA morning radio show in the 90's, he was one of the greats in the business. He's since passed on as has Johnny Paycheck. Wow, what a great clip! And probably one of my favorite songs from Johnny Paycheck. Thank you to whoever posted this, you made my day!
Danny Williams was the announcer for Leroy Magurk wrestling.
It was probably Danny's birthday!
I'm addicted to this song 😂👍
I'm addicted to that one also AND ...."If You Think You're Lonely"‼️.. one of his last performances at the Grand Ole Opry
This show, "Country Social", was a local Oklahoma City broadcast sponsored by the Mathis Brothers furniture store! They went on to sponsor the "Buck Owens Ranch Show" beginnng in 1966. Buck covered this song as well.
With host Danny Kaye of Foreman Scotty and Danny's Day (local OKC) fame. Nice.
there has been times writers for books, etc. have tried to get john to say that he influenced george, but they never got that out of him, i know because i was there! i have heard him say that he learned a lot from george, and if i were to listen to people like Darrell Mccall, Don Adams, Cliff Parker, Jim Vest, they say george would try to throw john when singing harmony, john was so good at what he did by staying with him it developed a style. thats just one small piece of the style conversation
Sonny Curtis on the steel is not the Sonny Curtis who played with Buddy Holly. This one was from my hometown of Chillicothe, which also hosted Johnny as a guest for several years. Charlie Justice, the fiddle player, also played on some Connie Smith records, and I have a CD of him playing in a band called Slim Starr and the Nighthawks in Columbus back in the '60s. They play a couple of George Jones songs. Quite a tight Ohio network of country musicians it seems.
The guitar player was also in The Sundowners with Connie Smith. And married to her.
Great singing as always by Johnny. He and the band look awesome - a treat to hear and to look at. Love this old juke box song - I do miss those days. Thank you for posting this winner .
mr. dawgbone, i have to agree that george was an established artist long before john, But, the great thing about being able to share info with the people who were there during the developing days of a great style, Here's what was said, george was singing more like Hank until john came along, george started changing his style when paycheck became part of him. i got to hear these great stories from the people who were there. not from a book or an opinion of someone who never knew george or john.
Agreed. Paycheck influenced Jones style.
His bass playing sounds like something McCartney might play. I had no clue as to Paycheck's bass talent until I saw this recently.
I'll agree with you there Dawg. I grew up with Donny as little kids.
My husband played with J. Paycheck when he came to MN!
Jonny cash
Sue Becker absolutely amazing!!!
lucky or blessed man I would have loved to have the pleasure
Ken Ambler wtf?
Johnny was so FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
"You made me feel so goo while you were singing' that song I pull doff my shoe and I had a hole in my sock."
Donald Eugene Lytle.....aka....Johnny Paycheck....RIP
The bass is Teisco made. It's most commonly known as the "Flea Bass", as Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers used one in the video for "Higher Ground".
Great song by a great singer !!
I love Johnny Paycheck. Truly traditional country music.
This was the record that started him on his way, this Ohio boy was played on WCNW in Fairfield Ohio by yours truly.
Wow! He really did break onto the scene!
Are you related to Frank and Don Adams Stanley?
Now that's what you call Country Music...Since I didn't know way back that Johnny Paycheck recorded under different names that I enjoyed his records for a long time before he got famous.
Man, even back then, Johnny looked like a bad dude.
WKY TV 4's Danny Williams introducing Johnny Paycheck Oklahoma City Ok...Way back when ha ha
That's just his big features
He always had that very skeleton like facial structure yes.
They say the eyes are the window to the soul---he didn't have trusting eyes!
This is the Real Country music of my youth.
Today music is cookie cutter music.
Gold, pure gold!
I watched this show every week as a kid growing up in Oklahoma. This music was in my blood. Great.
Fiddle and steel guitar are two instruments that are difficult to play perfectly on pitch, in tune. But these two are playing their instruments perfectly on pitch. You don’t hear that everyday.
Met your dad in an amusement park in New Jersey in mid 60s, was just starting out as a musician, took time to talk to me, always been a big fan of his, best to you!
Sonny Curtis on steel
loved sonny hauled him and his steel from nashville a couple of times he was a good friend of mine
Danny Williams was the DJ on the Local Radio Station in OKC
Ray Price's son Cliff said that Johnny Paycheck was one man he feared when he was growing up. He wouldn't elaborate much, but I can read between the lines.
Does not get any better than that.
that bass is a baldwin bass....paycheck was endorsed by baldwin...i actually have a couple of magizine ads...that have paycheck in them...endorsing baldwin guitars and amps...pretty cool....
Amber Digby wow! Can you post a link to the pics? So cool!
The bass is a Teisco EB-200 bass.
Teisco bass.
Lady yo know not only your instruments , But you can sing like n angel Much Love Amber
Willie Nelson played a Baldwin guitar.....well until a drunk stepped on it, that was 1969 and it’s replacement was his Martin N-20 known as trigger! Of course he fitted trigger with the pickup from the destroyed Baldwin and let’s just say that the rest of the story is honky tonk history.
Just brilliant
Wow !! I never saw this clip before now. Johnny sang a country song as good or better than anyone before or after.
Whoever has the publishing rights to little darling records, please release these old classics! I will be the first in line to buy them.......
Some years ago Koch started a reissue programme of the Little Darlin' catalogue with the promise of putting all the material out on CD. They released some Johnny Paycheck, some Bobby Helms and then for some reason it stopped. There was a suggestion of financial problems at Koch, but it was a great pity the programme was not followed through. What was put out was excellent.
They sound real good live. You can sure hear George Jones influence on Johnny's vocal style here.
thanks for you share good old country music
mosernkill heipådeg do you know the song mister that's my baby right there know there's a judge and a jury and I might as well been talking in the wind
That guitar looked as big as he did!!!!
@@Evan-ug9hr Johnny Paycheck was a very small man. Some say he had a "Napoleon Complex"
Brilliant footage of a true Country Music legend - thanks for uploading this!
I grew up in Oklahoma City, watching every country star in history play on one of the shows there. In fact Hee Haw came from there. 3 D Danny. A legend
Amber, you are correct about Johnny being Baldwin guy... but that is not a Baldwin Bass he is playing here. Baldwins featured either a "batwing" headstock or a modified "violin scroll" headstock. Here is a picture of him with his Baldwin Virginian 550 a model also owned by Willie, Jerry Reed and Lenny Breau. (and me)
My favorite memories of Johnny and George Jones
at a honky tonk in Houston,
Tx. Called Shelley's.
Great vocals and a kick-ass
band.
I got this on 8 track back in the 60s.
Thank you Amber.
From back when you could get a start as an artist being a sideman. George was mighty gracious to give Johnny the spotlight for a song to help his career. He obviously had a lot of talent.
I do like this a bunch. My favorite is the album cut of 11 Months and 29 Days. Pure hardcore blues.
Ol george knew what he was doing payback to paycheck for writing hit songs for him
That’s Lloyd Green on steel.Johnny played steel too.
Holy!! I'm totally freaked out by this!!!! What a find!!!!!
I'm sure I've run a needle through this great juke box tune!
Real Country Magic. Wow.
Great arrangement. Creative without screwing the song up!!
Paycheck drives the whole song with that monstrous looking bass. The Bakersfield thing really had it down
God, look at the size of that head stock on the bass!
One of our skating rink songs in '65
If you play A-11 there'll tears
lovely beautiful song
George took some of johnnys style , the body language on the up whoops
that fiddle player!
It is definitely a Teisco Bass. I had one just like it except manure brown. Didn't play it much though cause I liked my Fender Precission. Gave the Teisco to some hippie kid in Aspen Colorado about 1970
Was that what they actually called the color?
richardaiken1 Only way I could describe the color.
I figured that, but you never know.
Teisco NB-4 bass
Donny Young
wish god would keep these legends alive forever and we would be in our own heaven. listening to them.
What A classic thanks for sharing.
WONDERFUL SONG !
what tune !
The guitar player to Johnny's right was married to Connie Smith back then.
Nice catch! He's in a video of Connie doing Cincinnati Ohio, and, uh, I forget the other one I saw.
Jack Watkins@@rustybeltway2373
good live sound
I’ll bet that bass is taller than Johnny standing upright 😂😂😂😂, not really but that is a crazy looking bass guitar….👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Kinda like the Charlie Manson of the 60s country scene ..I liove it 😁👍
I always thought that was a Buck Owen's song because I heard him sing it on Hee Haw But Johnny Paycheck is a country music Icon my favorite song of his is Old Violin 🎻.
My favorite coutry song ever. Been listening since 1960.
I like Paycheck's version over Buck, but Buck's good.
What a perfect mix! Every one is a 10/10.
What a messed up world to turn away from real country music.
