Bruce wrote a beautiful song with this one, but Natalie brought it to life. The emotion she conveys both live and on record is just heartbreaking. She knocked this one out of the park
I've listened to nearly every live version of this song available on RUclips and Natalie is pitch perfect every time. I always liked the Dixie Chicks but I don't think I understood just what a unique talent she was/is. Amazing.
+73mckey She would love to but IHeart radio which is what Clear Channel calls itself today will not play anything Natalie or the Dixie Chicks make.Too bad she may have been the best female voice in country music history.
We were Lucky enough to be at this show at The Austin Music Hall. It was a Tsunami Relief concert, and the line up was great... But, this was something extra special. Respect for the ones that did not return from Military Service. 🕯❤🕯
A Dedication to all who never came home, and especially my friends of Headquarters Co., 1st Bn, 5thMar, RVN......... I miss you guys so much, but never will I forget you.... You gave me life....and sacrificed yours...........
This song tears me up almost every time I hear it. I hope to write such a special song one day. Bruce is a great songwriter and Natalie is a special individual. Peace and love to you.
Natalie, come back.... many of us share your perspective but we could not be heard due as we were out numbered. Country music needs you. pure, honest, talent. Your voice is too beautiful to be quiet.
Roger Reynolds She has made it plain she hates the Country Music community and we are all ignorant fools. Yeah because most of us are Patriotic and here in the South as a region we send more soldiers off to war. She didn't want to play the C&W music star game, but protest music and anti-war sentiment can be folded in a song like this song. The country crowd just doesn't want anyone to Dis the ole' USA.
1stSaintsFan She didnt dis the USA but the dumb ass President who got us in a fucked up war. Oh, when I served, most of my fellow soldiers were from the midwest not South. I actually met more soldiers from California than all of the south.
+1stSaintsFan Well that is a joke.. what about all the Country music fans who betray our President just because he is black, smart, and "does what is right".. not what makes him money in his pocket.. Dis the USA? ha!
Loved this, in the UK we only saw the Chicks because of certain comments that were attributed them in the USA. For me (politics apart ) so glad they did because it was on a different level. Roll on April me and my daughter can not waite to do it all again.
RIP PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH ......HE HAD A LOVE OF COUNTRY AND COUNTRY MUSIC.... ANYONE KNOWING THE TRUE MAN, COULD NEVER SPEAK ILL OF HIM. THANKS TO YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY SIR.
i absolutely admire kelly & bruce totally backing away from mic, giving all the credit to Natalie, because its her song and ONLY Natalie for this Tracking Soldier. my favorite song ever
Should have been a No. One Hit Nation Wide. Released wrong time. I have this on my I-Pad. 1967-1968 - Vietnam. Follow it up with one for all our young men fighting for us. My Facebook is Bill Damuth SR.. You will see my best friend that was killed waiting to go hone to his girl friend. My cousin builds some big homes in Austin.
beautiful ... thank you for posting this honest rendition .... the dixie chicks are fine ... but i hate the fact that everyone thinks they wrote it and are the end all and be all of this song ... kind of the same way i feel about James Taylor being granted credit for Carol King;s you got a friend ..... in short ..... thank you for this ....
For one the country music industry needs to open THEIR EYES and admit whats really going on with this country.Im proud she spoke her mind and i hope she doesnt regret it.Im fan of all music.Pink the pop star sang about the president to his face and not one person booed her.I believe it was because a woman said it and not a man.Like i said i like all kinds of music but, to me most of the country singers are snobs I live in Branson Mo and the male groups that came here were not polite at all.
Kelly Willis is every bit a Natalie Maines to me, but she's a country star that for some reason just didn't happen. She sings like a bird, she's pretty as a picture. The stars don't align sometimes, I guess. I'm a big fan, always will be.
well I will always love the chicks. they pointed out bush by the way gore won the vote. but politics seem to elude you if you want to have your vote counted. at the time-his brother was governor it seems a little creepy to me. thanks Dixie chicks for speaking your mind. and as a bonus getting attention around the world.

They both wrote it……
@@jaydenlawrence537 look at the songwriter credits. He wrote the song, Natalie Maines was not a co-writer
@@jaydenlawrence537 www.texasmonthly.com/list/the-secret-history-of-texas-music/travelin-soldier-1996/
She does, but Kelly does it even better.

Dammit Natalie!! Get your ass back on the radio, you have fans that love your country/bluegrass music.
+73mckey She would love to but IHeart radio which is what Clear Channel calls itself today will not play anything Natalie or the Dixie Chicks make.Too bad she may have been the best female voice in country music history.
@@annettecamlin9090 To be fair, I have suspicions that she might not want anything to do with them either.
This song is one of the most beautifully written songs I have ever heard!! Kudos to Bruce Robison!!!
My God I love that woman. I served the Dixie Chicks dinner on my 22nd birthday. I still have the autographed menu. Her voice is that of an angel. Wow.
She still sounds amazing after all these years. her voice is a timeless classic
We were Lucky enough to be at this show at The Austin Music Hall. It was a Tsunami Relief concert, and the line up was great...
But, this was something extra special.
Respect for the ones that did not return from Military Service. 🕯❤🕯
Just in the military...1963 to 1969...some people spitting on my uniform ...
Natalie M has an amazing voice. Her delivery is integral to the theme of the song. Brilliant.
A Dedication to all who never came home, and especially my friends of Headquarters Co., 1st Bn, 5thMar, RVN......... I miss you guys so much, but never will I forget you.... You gave me life....and sacrificed yours...........
Sometimes you have to wonder was it all worthwhile,hopefully they kept the bad fuckers away from our countries for awhile 🇬🇧🇺🇸stay safe
Thank u 4 your service
Semper Fi
And LOVE the look that Bruce and Kelly give each other at 4:45.
This song tears me up almost every time I hear it. I hope to write such a special song one day. Bruce is a great songwriter and Natalie is a special individual. Peace and love to you.
I remember the first time I heard this song on the radio I had to pull over and cry. I cry every time I hear it. Well written and well performed
We love you, Natalie. You have a great voice and I await to hear from you again!
The Dixie Chicks introduced me to country music. I love you Natalie.
Beautiful . . . nice to hear Kelly Willis and her husband, songwriter, Bruce Robison add to Natalie's pretty voice . . .
If I ever want to cry I just put on this song and the waterworks flow. Love the song, love The Chicks and love Natalie Maines.
I agree, Natalie Maines has one of the most amazing voices. I love the lyrics of this song. Beyond Amazing!
Bruce' original recording of "Travelin' Soldier" is and always was the best, the most heartfelt version ever!
is it on utube ?
Did RUclips exist in 1996?
Nati is a legend, pure emotions
I love this song - Natalie Maines has one of the top 3 female voices of our time .
Always and forever i love me some Dixie Chicks! God bless you all!
Maines attended Berklee college of music, that's enormous in it's self, I know a graduate from this college the program is second to none.
Natalie, come back.... many of us share your perspective but we could not be heard due as we were out numbered. Country music needs you. pure, honest, talent. Your voice is too beautiful to be quiet.

well said Rodger,..so much for free speech..god bless the dixie chicks..Respect and peace from Bonnie Scotland.
Maybe my favorite Dixie Chicks song. It still chokes me up every time I hear it. Thank you for sharing this beautiful performance.

Natalie looks so cute here.
It was cool how she had hair back then.
❤️ Natalie ❤️ 😘
Cool video
@Flutterbyswamp That makes up for George Jones getting credit for James Taylor's "Bartender's Blues" ;-)
Seeing as they introduced her, I think it's them featuring Natalie Maines.

My Natalie. I don't listen to country per say, but her voice and the Chicks fucking rule!

well I will always love the chicks. they pointed out bush by the way gore won the vote. but politics seem to elude you if you want to have your vote counted. at the time-his brother was governor it seems a little creepy to me. thanks Dixie chicks for speaking your mind. and as a bonus getting attention around the world.

Travelin' SoldierはDixie Chicksで知ったけど、Bruce Robisonの名曲ですね。テキサスに行ってみたい、、、SXSWを見に行きたい。
その前にトムズキャビンがBruceとKelly Willisを呼んでくれないかなあ、、
