    I love the raw, gutsy feel of this song. Only 23,000 views? This amazing song and musician deserves world wide recognition.

      I would say that it has to do with not enough exposure. A friend introduced me to him. A diamond in the ruff!

    Heard this by Alan Jackson today in a RUclips short. Then found a Alan Jackson interview where he heard the original by Fred Eaglesmith on XM radio blue grass channel. Love this version too! 🎸🎸🎸🚂🚂🚂

      I love this song. And I don't understand why you rarely hear it on the radio. I feel that I'm being cheated!

      @@charlieburttram7961 - I saw him live with Willie on Harp and Mandolin. His band could really cook, Fred is a great songwriter, singer and performer. If you get a chance to see him live it's worth the trip, his stories between songs will crack you up. Lived a hard life growin' up on the farm in Canada and travelin' in an old school bus with his band.

      Nope, that's Willie on harp and mandolin. He's was a great performer, used to play slide mandolin, the only time I have ever heard that, wild sound.

      nobody does fred's songs better than himself - maybe lnj 's version is more polished, but this an argument against it

      The version I like most was by Kasey Chambers, and I can't find it anywhere. 😭

      This one has a wonderful beat and fred has his own style to sing, but alan just has a faster beat, and a stronger flourish. I cant tell who i like more
