This is real country music take off what they call new country music and throw it in the garbage play .more music like this on the radio I can't listen to the new country music hurts my ears
Outstanding! One of Merle's all time greats. --- I think that was Buddy Emmons on pedal steal. Ralph Mooney was the steal player on the record. Both GREAT players. --- I'm partial to Merle's early tunes, more than the later tunes. This song, "Bottle Let me Down", and "Emptiest Arms in the World", are some of my all-time favorites.
@@Kan-o-tex Hi Kan-o-tex! I stand corrected. I'll pay more attention to the late Fuzzy Owens. I'm more used to hearing Ralph Mooney's name associated with Merle. Thanks for the correction! I hate to misidentify musicians. Rock
@@RockReynolds For sure, Ralph Mooney and Norm Hamlet. I remember seeing Fuzzy in old photos but I was surprised to see him playing live with Merle at that point in his career. Always good to see any footage of the amazing Roy Nichols, too. Those were golden years for country music. I had no idea when I was growing up in OKC that Buck Owens was filming a syndicated show there.
Why does he have Buck's guitar ? I know he has Buck's wife, Bonnie, but I didn't know he got the guitar with that deal !! Great song and Merle is my absolute favorite !!
Have not heard this song in a while and this is what I call the real country music.Thank you for sharing with us.God Bless you always Amen ❤🙏🌺

That's the most raw version of this song. Thanks to Mr. Charles (Fuzzy Owen).

Not sure but I think that might be Fuzzy Owen on the steel, not Emmons.

Thats Fuzzy Owens on steel just before the arrival of Norman Hamlett

This is from the Buck Owens Ranch show. Buck introduced him in the beginning in the video.
They were long divorced already when Merle and Bonnie Owens became an item? Buck really went through women? 😂
I will bet that he forgot his guitar and borrowed Bucks.
