Thank you JeffreyK for this excellent request, it's a really wonderful song. Don you are right - Holly was a co-writer on this song, along with her brother Chris Waters and Tom Shapiro. I imagine some experience was the basis for it. I agree with all your comments on this one, especially about her terrific voice and performance. And on the topic of requests for Holly songs, how about No One Takes The Train Anymore. Thanks for picking this one Don, great reaction!
Oh my God, I never expected you to react to this song. It is an awesome work, but almost to disturbing and painful to listen too. Simply gut-wrenching. Tears me up every time I hear it. Thank you so much though. And thank you for reacting to the Suzy Bogguss song a few weeks ago too. Hope we can get to more Lari White soon. Maybe "If I'm Not Already Crazy", "Ghost Of A Chance", or "You Can't Go Home Again"? I'd also suggest listening to a Baillie and The Boys song like "Heart Of Stone", Treat Me Like a Stranger", "Oh Heart", or "I Can't Turn The Tide". They were one of the best Country groups in the late 80's early 90's. Kathie Ballie, her husband and I forget the other guys name. I have yet to see anyone react to one of their songs so far. Again, thanks so much. Your review was great by the way. I really appreciated that.
Thank you JeffreyK for this good morning selection. I doubt she experienced this, as her father was a preacher and a pretty well known Texas painting artist, Yvonne Campbell. Holly had a great voice. It is a shame she died and her health problems forced her to retire because I think her career could of went longer. Thanks for the reaction
Holly's career was torpedoed by what I would basically term as the "Woke Mob" today. An absurd controversy over her song "Maybe I Mean Yes" in 1991. This was branded the "Date Rape Song" by a bunch of vicious radicals who apparently had no sense of humor and dirty minds. Damn, I remember the absurd headline on a Current Affair, "Holly What Have You Dunn!" She took the song out of her live shows, and what had been the CMT Pick Hit Video removed from CMT and TNN, as well as the song off the radio. It had debuted higher on the charts then any single she had ever had. You would have thought that would have earned her a great deal of respect and actually boasted her career. The exact opposite happened, and Radio basically Blacklisted her. I don't understand how people can't be penalized for being noble. Her next single "No One Takes The Train Anymore" should have been at least a Top 5 song, but it got few radio ads and was virtually ignored by most programmers. Her brilliant 1992 Album that she worked on for 2 years "Getting it Dunn" should have been her greatest success to date, but it was totally snubbed by Country Radio and ironically just as she was on her first tour as a Headliner as well. After that, Holly was dropped by Warner Brothers records. I was so ticked off! "Getting It Dunn" should have at the very least generated Platinum sales figures and could have easily if it had been properly marketed. It got almost no promotion. It seemed like Warner Brothers was looking for any excuse to dump Holly after the negative press that led to her taking "Maybe I Mean Yes" out of circulation. She should have ignored those trouble- makers and the whole thing probably would have blown over in a few weeks-time. Conversely, Garth Brooks made no apologies for "The Thunder Rolls" after he was attacked by protestors for "Glorifying Domestic Violence" in that Video. This was roughly around the exact same time too. Garth still ended up getting another Number 1 song out of it despite the uproar. While Holly was treated like a pariah. Things could have gone down so differently.
In general I am a big fan of Holly: she has a unique voice and style. I hadn't listened to this song in a while, but I have always liked it.
Considering you liked this, I would suggest you react to "Just across the Rio Grande".
"There goes my heart again" is another great song from Holly.
Yes, I love "Just Across The Rio Grande". But he needs to hear something a little less depressing next time. Maybe "You Really Had Me Going". I thought that "Let Go" another song she wrote was going to be the first single off of "Getting It Dunn" as she had been preforming it at live shows for a while and it always went over huge. I still think that could have been at least as Big as "You Really Had Me Going" had been and that was a Number 1 song. Warner Brothers totally dropped the ball with that great album it was loaded with huge hit singles that never saw the light of day. Still makes me angry to this day.
Sadly, Holly Dunn passed away in 2016 to ovarian cancer.
