He has written so many songs that were hits for other people before he started recoding them himself..He's been doing it from the 50's. There are videos of him from that time. You should listen to "blue eyes crying in the rain", you'll love it.
@@Wolverines77 underrated means not valued highly enough. I think it can apply is this person's comment. Maybe you should spend some time reflecting on why you deem it necessary to waste your time incorrectly correcting others.
My music alarm is Willie singing Angel flying to close to the ground. Ever time I try to change it to another song to wake up to , I keep coming back. His voice and the guitar and this song, is a perfect way to wake up
and he also has an unique voice, that is hard to copy, the only one who comes close to his voice is his son, if you hear his son sing this song and close your eyes, it's willy all over again he is truly one of the true living country legends
@@colinshard8665 yeah when they covered dont breathe by Pearl Jam I listened to that song ALOT with out realizing his son signs with him and they didn’t put featuring Lucas
Love this "original" version!! Willie is a sing writing Genius!! You should check out "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" and "Angel Flying too Close to the Ground"
It was written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, then first released by Gwen McCrae in 1972. Brenda Lee and Elvis also released a version in 1972. Willie did his version in 1982.
Always on My Mind" is a ballad written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, first released by Gwen McCrae (as "You Were Always on My Mind") in 1972. Brenda Lee also released a version in 1972. The song has been a crossover hit, charting in both the country and western and pop categories. AllMusic lists over 300 recorded releases of the song in versions by dozens of performers.[1] While Lee's version stalled at number 45 on the US country chart in 1972, other performers reached the top 20 in the United States and elsewhere with their own versions: Elvis Presley in 1972; John Wesley Ryles in 1979; Willie Nelson's Grammy Award-winning version in 1982; and Pet Shop Boys in 1987.
A song Willie covered that's great is "Pancho and Lefty" that he did with another country legend Merle Haggard. Written by a great song writer Townes Van Sant. I think you should check it out! Great reaction as always guys!
I hit the LIKE button as soon as I saw the title! I have always LOVED this song & I am so glad y'all picked it to listen to. I would also recommend his songs "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain", "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" (with Julio Inglesias), "Whiskey River", "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys", "Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground", "Let It Be Me", "On The Road Again" (if you haven't already), "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys"( with Waylon Jennings), "Highwayman" (with Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, & Waylon Jennings) & his version of Patsy Cline's song, "Crazy". I adore Willie Nelson!
"Crazy" is his song done by Patsy Cline. And to your list I would add "Funny How Time Slips Away" which was said to be written the same week as "Crazy" in 1962. I would also love a reaction to "Red-Headed Stranger". You can see a much younger Willie without a beard perform it live here: ruclips.net/video/OWOEfE22wow/видео.html
Willie has been getting it right for a long, long time. From his early days as a songwriter. You guys did Patsy Cline singing Crazy. That was Willies writing. He is 88 years old. Still and always an incredible talent.
He phrases behind the beat. Billie Holiday was also known for the technique. It’s most common in jazz, but also blues and rock. Check out “Honky Tonk Woman” by the Stones. Drummers and guitar players use the technique as well.
Hello from Paris France that beautifull song was singing by Elvis Presley, its the original from the King for his wife. Its the studio version filmed, the king with glasses in the musical studio, with all the orchestra. So amazing beautifull. See you very soon. Tony from Paris 😊
When we lose Willy, it is going to be a sad, sad day. Thanks for reacting to Willy. One of the greatest country and western singer/songwriters and probably the biggest proponent of weed in history. It was always headline news when Willy's tour bus would get stopped by the cops on the highway (no pun intended) and he'd get busted for possession. (This was before laws had loosened up over weed) News stations would be filming when Willy was released from the cop shop and Willy always walked out with a big ole grin on his face basically saying, "Til next time, guys."....and there were a lot of next times. lol Take care and be well, guys. Peace.
One of the things that really sets Willie apart is his phrasing. Listen to his tests, the time that he holds notes for, the changes in pitch. He does all these without upsetting the time signature or the key of a song. I do not know of any other singer who does all those things. Put all that together with his unique voice and you get magic. Something else that is often unnoticed is his range. He makes everything sound so easy and effortless that you don't even realize how wide a range he's covered. I didn't notice it until I was singing along one day and found that I had bottomed out on my range. Willie still sounded like he'd never dropped below a deep tenor, yet unnoticed he'd eased down to bass.
He was part of two legendary duos he teamed up with Waylon Jennings for a while and he made a record with Merle Haggard and then formed a super group called the Highwaymen along with Johnny Cash , Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash
Willie did the first Austin City Limits performance. It was Oct. 1974 and Willie looks young enough that it could be that show. He still plays the same guitar and it has had a whole in it for years now.
I had the privilege of watching Willie Nelson perform live in concert in 2009, at the Covelli Center in Youngstown, Ohio. It was a short time after his 76th birthday. Willie Nelson hooked up a microphone on the bottom end of his acoustic guitar, and proceeded to give the guitar performance of a lifetime. He played all of his hit songs, and he sang and performed about a half-dozen Blues songs that night, Nelson's electrified acoustic guitar growled like a grizzly bear, and his guitar playing BLEW ME AWAY! I just wish that there was a videotaped performance of Willie Nelson during that tour. It was clearly some of the best performances of his career.
Love Willie Nelson!! Thank you for reacting to this one. You should try Whiskey River, On the Road Again, Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, Georgia on my Mind, and his duets. My favorite duets are Mommas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys, Luckenbach, Texas, Pancho & Lefty, Beer for my Horses. Also, he collaborated with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson on the Highwaymen which is amazing.
One of the interesting things about Willie was how late he came into fame. He has been around as a songwriter for many years before his singing career really took off. I am 80 and I remember when I was in high school, Willie was not a big star. He was more known for his songwriting skills than his vocals, but even thé became recognized for his voice and broke into the music scene in a big way. He is recognized and revered by fans and singers across all genres
My Dude that passed away 10 years ago use to sing this song to me all of the time. It was our song. It makes me smile and tear up every time I hear it. The first time I saw Willie Nelson in Concert was 3 years ago and I treats in my eyes when he came on stage, song this song, and when he was walking off stage. So grateful to be able to hear his music and see him live. ❤
Willie is without a doubt a true inspiration. It's different, but this song reminds me of Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" - it's very emotional (especially if you know the background which is tragic) and heartfelt. A wonderful piece by Eric - highly recommended.
Willie wrote “Crazy” that was a big hit for Patsy Cline. He also wrote “Hello Walls” that was recorded by Faron Young in 1961. Please do a reaction of Hello Walls w/lyrics by Faron Young, it was a big hit for him and no one but him ever done this song justice. Thanks 👋
Thank you for this reaction. My parents loved Willie and he was one of the first artists I saw live with my dad. Tomorrow would've been my dad's 75th birthday. Whenever I hear this song I picture the two of them slow dancing. Willie is actually the one who turned me on to country music and I still love that Outlaw country. Thanks again. I feel like I've gotten a gift from my dad on his birthday. Keep up the great work.
Such an Amazing songwriter...so many songs that became hits for other artists (Hello Walls/Crazy) and some amazing story telling songs (Pancho and Lefty/The Troublemaker/Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground)...huge catalogue to get lost in. One of my favorite artists.
The song that he did with Toby Keith, "Beer for my horses" is a total banger. The official video with Willie as a retired LEO and Toby playing his son as a current LEO chasing a serial killer was quite entertaining.
Y’all, I saw him at the Houston rodeo a few years ago. He’s getting up there in age, but he still brought it like it needs to be brought. In fact, when he sang this song, he started to cry. You’re right, Amber. He is so kind, and emotional, and he truly feels his lyrics. He is an amazing human being.
You should listen to some of his duets with Waylon Jennings like Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys or Luckenbach, Texas; also, check out Waylon Jennings' solo work, so good.
He has some great duets also. Toby Keith he did "Whiskey for My Men, Beer for My Horses", "Pancho and Lefty" with the late great Merle Haggard. Also, a hysterical one is the live version with Willie watching Toby Keith singing "I'll Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again" I think Snoop Dog said the same thing. 😂😂
"Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" is my favorite song by him. Also check out the multiple duos and "groups" (The Highwaymen) he's performed with. American icon
I met Willie back in the 80's on a golf course in LaGrange, Ky. He is the most genuine down to earth human being you could ever meet. He is exactly as you would imagine him. A national treasure.
You’ll love Elvis Presley’s version of this song. You have to do Willie and Merle Haggard’s duet ‘Pancho & Lefty’ or one of his duets with Waylon Jennings. ‘Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain’, ‘On The Road Again’ & ‘City Of New Orleans’ are other good Willie songs to check out.
Love, love , love Willie Nelson. This man has the sweetest voice. He could sing names from the phone book and it would sound ahhh-mazing. Please listen to Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain. My all time favorite song. My dad used to sing it to me when I was little and he still does today. He gets out his guitar when I go to see him and the song just brings me to tears. Willie has written sooooo many songs, even for other people. He has quite a history in the music industry.
I love Willie's version, but this will always be Elvis' song to me. He recorded it after him and Priscilla split in February of 1972, and he recorded his version in March of 1972
It is so touching to watch Amber just fall in love when a the lyrics of a song touch her heart ("I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that your mine."). "He's looking back at it, wishing he'd done everything the right way." Don't we all feel that way about so many things.
Willie Nelson was in a supergroup known as The Highwaymen. It includes: Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and Waylon Jennings, and the synergistic talent of these four stars exploded into a supernova which is The Highwayman. Please have a listen to a song called The Highwaymen by the group The Highwaymen and tell us what you think
@@bobw2561 I've seen many rock shows at the old Richfield Coliseum. In fact I saw my first rock show in 77 at the Richfield. I was lucky enough to be in the audience when Queen played there. I Saw The Highwaymen in Las Vegas when I was 13 years old. I was on holiday visiting my sister. Are you from Cleveland?
This song always makes me cry. My dad worked 2 jobs for yrs as there were 7 of us kids. He dedicated this to our mom. He was gone so much and obviously very tired. She passed away 2 weeks before their 50th anniversary.😢
This song is so beautiful. Here’s another great one by Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris who collaborated to make the most beautiful sounding trio ever. This one’s from their second album togetherruclips.net/video/Cnieh0Y1V-o/видео.html. It will take your breath away. It’s called “High Sierra”. 🎄🌺✌️
You guys should check out the duet he does with his son Lukas in "Just Breathe." Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real have some great songs. More towards the rocking side but sounds like a younger version of his dad. Willie also did a duet with Snoop Dogg called "Roll Me Up"
Makes me wonder which one smoked the other under the table, Willie or Snoop. My money's on Willie. :) That being said, you should check out Toby Keith's "I'll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again".
One of the most beautiful and surreal moments in my life came when I was hiking in the mountains in Thailand outside Chang Mai. I was solo with my guide, Lek, and we passed another group whose Thai guide looked to be about 70 years old. Lek and I stopped to chat for a moment then went on. A few minutes later I heard the most beautiful tenor voice echoing through the mountains -- that elderly tour guide singing "You Were Always On My Mind"!
To be honest, I prefer this to Elvis's version. he just puts better emotion into it. You should consider checking out Clint Black's When I Said I do. It is a gorgeous duet with his wife, Lisa Hartman Black. Love to all.
He has written so many songs that were hits for other people before he started recoding them himself..He's been doing it from the 50's. There are videos of him from that time. You should listen to "blue eyes crying in the rain", you'll love it.
Another vote for "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"
Yes, Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain is my favourite Willie Nelson song
Add me to that list "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" is a must.
Blue Eyes is one of my top songs of all time.
I'll add my vote for this, too. "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" is one of my top 3 all time favorite songs.
Willie has written over 300 songs. Many hits. A great entertainer and a very underrated guitar player. He's really a great picker.
U N D E R A P P R E C I A T E D, NOT UNDERATED... What is underrated is un derstanding the definitions of words by the masses...
Indeed one of the greatest guitarists alive today.
@@Wolverines77 underrated means not valued highly enough. I think it can apply is this person's comment. Maybe you should spend some time reflecting on why you deem it necessary to waste your time incorrectly correcting others.
Can't ever go wrong with Willie !❤️
Willie is a national treasure.
@@mikemaricle9941 and to think he was always stoned..luv it
"Crazy" is a song written by Willie Nelson and popularized by country singer Patsy Cline in 1961. Willie did a nice job singing it himself.
I didn't know that Willy wrote that. Thank you. Love Willie, love Patsy Kline....
I didn't know that either. That is literally crazy.
Cline
His version of Blue eyes crying in the rain,Angel flying too close to the ground, and especially Stardust are the best!!
The guitar solo in AFTCTTG is awesome..
Excellent choices, all three!
The whole Stardust album is GREAT!
My music alarm is Willie singing Angel flying to close to the ground. Ever time I try to change it to another song to wake up to , I keep coming back. His voice and the guitar and this song, is a perfect way to wake up
Damn, I forgot about "Stardust"...thanks for picking that one.
My my how Mr Nelson’s music defines our lives. Xo
Good 'ol Willie. If you dive into this rabbit hole, do "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys" and "To All The Girls I've Loved Before."
One of greatest songs ever performed by him.
The man is a National Treasure...PERIOD!
That’s his sister on piano. Can never go wrong with Willie. He has a very unmistakable voice and even more unmistakable guitar sound.
Sadly His Sister Passed Away This Past Summer, Leaving Willie Obviously Devastated. 💔💔💔
and he also has an unique voice, that is hard to copy, the only one who comes close to his voice is his son, if you hear his son sing this song and close your eyes, it's willy all over again he is truly one of the true living country legends
@@colinshard8665 yeah when they covered dont breathe by Pearl Jam I listened to that song ALOT with out realizing his son signs with him and they didn’t put featuring Lucas
He is an outstanding songwriter and singer and guitar player.
Willie's phrasing is spectacular. Like he's having a conversation.
You don't even have to be a Willie Nelson fan to love this tune!! It's just so pure and dare I say soulful!
So amazing that he played this downbeat. Genius!
Love this "original" version!! Willie is a sing writing Genius!!
You should check out "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" and "Angel Flying too Close to the Ground"
Willie didn't write this and it was recorded before him. This is a cover.
Blue eyes crying in the rain is absolutely lovely. Ooooh they should check out Highwaymen.
This is not an original version, Willie has done many, many covers
Yes by all means check those two song out
It was written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, then first released by Gwen McCrae in 1972. Brenda Lee and Elvis also released a version in 1972. Willie did his version in 1982.
Willy is a National treasure. Full stop. The world is better with him in it and his loss will one day leave a hole we can’t fill.
COUNTRY LEGEND 🔝
Woman who plays the piano, is Willie's older sister, Bobbie Nelson. She is 90 while Willie is 88. Both of them are still active.
Next time you check out Willie try Blue Eyes Cryin' In The Rain. It's one of his best, in my humble opinion. 💙
"Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" is a signature song of Willie's.
A lot of great singers have done this song but to me Willie will always be the best.
On the Road Again is a must.
Always on My Mind" is a ballad written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, first released by Gwen McCrae (as "You Were Always on My Mind") in 1972.

Thank you great information 👍
The Pet Shop Boys version is still one of my very favorites.
Elvis' version is probably my favorite.
Willie is a national treasure.
A great song writer.
He is an amazing songwriter, but as this song shows, he can take another songwriters work and put out an amazing performance.
Willie Nelson is a legend in country music and has many good songs
Willie is another cornerstone of music period.
Willy is a national treasure !!!
You must check out the Highwaymen
Super group
Willie - Waylon Jennings -Johnny cash -kris Kristofferson
Great live show
A song Willie covered that's great is "Pancho and Lefty" that he did with another country legend Merle Haggard. Written by a great song writer Townes Van Sant. I think you should check it out! Great reaction as always guys!
Just bought that album on vinyl. Original print. One of the best country disc ever!
Emmylou Harris does a good version of that song too.

I adore Willie Nelson!
I like his duet with Toby Keith: Whiskey for my Men, Beer for my Horses! 30+ years ago I bought the Willie Nelson Christmas album. It is a hoot!
"Crazy" was written and preformed by Willie Nelson before Patsy Cline sung it.
Patsy made "Crazy" her song and Willie loved/loves Patsy's version.
"Crazy" is his song done by Patsy Cline. And to your list I would add "Funny How Time Slips Away" which was said to be written the same week as "Crazy" in 1962.

@@JamesLachowsky My mother gave me Red Headed Stranger back around 1977, when I was 16. Still one of my favorite albums.

Willie has been getting it right for a long, long time. From his early days as a songwriter. You guys did Patsy Cline singing Crazy. That was Willies writing. He is 88 years old. Still and always an incredible talent.

A statement that he made to his band and roadies, “If you are wired, you’re fired”! His non tolerance for hard drugs.

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain. My favorite Willie song.
Angel flying to close to the ground by willie is one ofbthe most beautiful songs. Willie nelsonwas my mom's favorite singer other than janis.
Amber, Willy has that "grounding" effect on everybody. Good reaction.
He was part of two legendary duos he teamed up with Waylon Jennings for a while and he made a record with Merle Haggard and then formed a super group called the Highwaymen along with Johnny Cash , Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash
Don't forget his acoustic guitar playing. It's so unique. One of the best guitarists ever.

The soul and pain in this man's voice when he recorded this song just brings me to tears. And always has everytime I hear it.
Finally!!! Willie is a national treasure ❤️
Check out "Crazy". He wrote it, but lots of people have covered it including Patsy Cline and Linda Ronstadt.
You can hear it in Grand Theft Auto, of all places.
"On The Road Again" is another side of Willie, and worth your time!
Love Willie Nelson!! Thank you for reacting to this one. You should try Whiskey River, On the Road Again, Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, Georgia on my Mind, and his duets. My favorite duets are Mommas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys, Luckenbach, Texas, Pancho & Lefty, Beer for my Horses. Also, he collaborated with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson on the Highwaymen which is amazing.

Yes! Pancho&Lefty. Such a great story song. Jay will love that!
❤❤❤ Willie is a born and bred Texan.... Who became a national hero I love him love him.
As someone who has seen him live several times, the man sounds better live than any recording he's ever done.
Last time I saw Willie live was New Year’s Eve 1999-2000 , it was such a special show. Everyone should see Willie perform live at least once.
The song that he did with Toby Keith, "Beer for my horses" is a total banger. The official video with Willie as a retired LEO and Toby playing his son as a current LEO chasing a serial killer was quite entertaining.
He looks so young in this video!!! Love me some Willie!!!🎵🎼🎶🎤🎸🥁💜💜
Best version…. And original… way better than anyone’s cover…even Elvis’. Glad u all gave him a chance! Happy day after Christmas!
Willie isn't the original for this song. Elvis covered it in 1972 and Willie covered it in 1982.

You’ll love Elvis Presley’s version of this song. You have to do Willie and Merle Haggard’s duet ‘Pancho & Lefty’ or one of his duets with Waylon Jennings. ‘Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain’, ‘On The Road Again’ & ‘City Of New Orleans’ are other good Willie songs to check out.
Luckenbach Texas too.
Willie.. one of the best! ❤️ this song always makes me weep.
Love Willie!! Such a talented dude!!🤘🔥
Love, love , love Willie Nelson. This man has the sweetest voice. He could sing names from the phone book and it would sound ahhh-mazing. Please listen to Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain. My all time favorite song. My dad used to sing it to me when I was little and he still does today. He gets out his guitar when I go to see him and the song just brings me to tears. Willie has written sooooo many songs, even for other people. He has quite a history in the music industry.
I love Willie's version, but this will always be Elvis' song to me. He recorded it after him and Priscilla split in February of 1972, and he recorded his version in March of 1972
It is so touching to watch Amber just fall in love when a the lyrics of a song touch her heart ("I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that your mine.").
"He's looking back at it, wishing he'd done everything the right way." Don't we all feel that way about so many things.
Willie Nelson was in a supergroup known as The Highwaymen. It includes: Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and Waylon Jennings, and the synergistic talent of these four stars exploded into a supernova which is The Highwayman. Please have a listen to a song called The Highwaymen by the group The Highwaymen and tell us what you think
Seconded. That's a wonderful song!
Got to see the highwaymen at the old richfield coliseum. Best show ever.
@@bobw2561 I've seen many rock shows at the old Richfield Coliseum. In fact I saw my first rock show in 77 at the Richfield. I was lucky enough to be in the audience when Queen played there. I Saw The Highwaymen in Las Vegas when I was 13 years old. I was on holiday visiting my sister. Are you from Cleveland?

One of my all time faves of Willie!! 💖💖💖
This song always makes me cry. My dad worked 2 jobs for yrs as there were 7 of us kids. He dedicated this to our mom. He was gone so much and obviously very tired. She passed away 2 weeks before their 50th anniversary.😢
Willie: great performer, great songwriter, great interpreter of other's songs.
A true country artist makes you feel they are singing to you personally.
I love this song by Willie, so raw and natural
This song is so beautiful. Here’s another great one by Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris who collaborated to make the most beautiful sounding trio ever. This one’s from their second album togetherruclips.net/video/Cnieh0Y1V-o/видео.html. It will take your breath away. It’s called “High Sierra”. 🎄🌺✌️
WILLIE NELSON is my major man of music! I'm the ultimate fan and have t-shirts to prove it!
You guys should check out the duet he does with his son Lukas in "Just Breathe." Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real have some great songs. More towards the rocking side but sounds like a younger version of his dad. Willie also did a duet with Snoop Dogg called "Roll Me Up"
Makes me wonder which one smoked the other under the table, Willie or Snoop. My money's on Willie. :) That being said, you should check out Toby Keith's "I'll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again".
One of the most beautiful and surreal moments in my life came when I was hiking in the mountains in Thailand outside Chang Mai. I was solo with my guide, Lek, and we passed another group whose Thai guide looked to be about 70 years old. Lek and I stopped to chat for a moment then went on. A few minutes later I heard the most beautiful tenor voice echoing through the mountains -- that elderly tour guide singing "You Were Always On My Mind"!
To be honest, I prefer this to Elvis's version. he just puts better emotion into it. You should consider checking out Clint Black's When I Said I do. It is a gorgeous duet with his wife, Lisa Hartman Black. Love to all.
time slips away and on the road again willie hits the soul
