"Mama was old at 35" hits so close to home with my own Mom and Grandma. The pictures don't lie...one was an old-school midwest farmwife and the other married to a world-class POS. That kind of stress ages you more than people realize at the time.
My great-grandfather was a steelworker who died two days after New Years in 1933. My grandmother and great-aunts made ends meet by sewing odds and ends for neighbors in the midst of the Depression. Grandma would try to wash and fold Saran wrap and foil in the 90's because of the deprivations of the Depression. This song hits close to home.

Written by Bob McDill, "Song of the South" was first recorded by Bobby Bare on his album "Drunk & Crazy" (1980). Johnny Russell released his version in 1981. Tom T. Hall and Earl Scruggs covered the song in 1982. Alabama covered the song in 1988 from their album "Southern Star" (1989), reaching number 1 on both the U.S. and Canadian country charts.

It's nice to hear the original and actually get all the lyrics. Alabama has a dramatic and well built anthem from it, while this original version simply screams authenticity.
I love this version and Alabama’s version. Kind of like knocking on heaven’s door by guns and roses or bob dylan. Two different versions of the same song but both great.

Apparently Bobby Bare did too cause he didn't write it. Alabama just did it better. Think not? I'm drooling and half asleep after this version. Alabama reached #1.
@@iwanaGoFast2010 By your definition 90% of artists stole songs. You're just sensitive because you caught your wife cheating on you while listening to Alabama. 😭
Lol. Uno reading all these comments makes me proud of country fans. Give an open mind Fair review & honest opinions without being cruel mean or nasty See people can communicate So here's my little bit 'o humor Remember lol I laugh because I always think of Disney first when I read song of the south Anyone remember that totally different song?

I found out recently that my cousin drove Bobby Bares tour bus. I love all his music
Well that was different, but completely enjoyable I'll be listening again and I'm definitely showing my mom who is a huge Alabama fan.

Bare is the most underrated country music superstar. Love all of his music
This is the superior version of the song.
Agreed.
Best voice in country music.
I love this version and Alabama’s version. Kind of like knocking on heaven’s door by guns and roses or bob dylan. Two different versions of the same song but both great.
I heard this version first as I've always been a huge Bobby Bare fan Never could get into Alabama's version
Tom T. Hall and Earl Scruggs did a great job too!
I thought Alabama,wrote the song,I never heard this version sure is pretty

hate to throw gas on the fire here but the Alabama version absolutely neuters the lyrics of this song
Bare had it first
Bare makes me feel like he's singing like he lived it.
I never considered playing this at 18 bpm
I never knew Alabama stole this song. Like they did many others.

@@bobbybare8170 You ain’t no fucking Bobby Bare.
@@Rc-sl4te you're the type of person i like to run into when I'm drunk and crazy and wanting to be a winner.🍺🍺🍺👊
Who sang it first?
I completely understand why this isn't the version that's remembered.
@Bobby Bare LoL great song man.
@Bobby Bare Nampa, Idaho. I hope you are well!
Lol. Uno reading all these comments makes me proud of country fans.
Give an open mind
Fair review & honest opinions without being cruel mean or nasty
See people can communicate
So here's my little bit 'o humor
Remember lol
I laugh because I always think of Disney first when I read song of the south
Anyone remember that totally different song?
This version is too slow.
