This song was originally recorded by Don Williams and released in 1978. It was written by his guitarist, and they do it "country style" so give it a listen too.
I didn’t recognize this, doesn’t Don Williams play a little of this in Smokey and The Bandit 2? Jerry Reed says “ Don Williams!? He’s my second favorite country singer”
I usually think of the Don Williams version of this song first. He’s another artist you should definitely react to. Deep catalog of classic country and one of the great voices. I’d recommend “Amanda”, “Good Ole Boys Like Me” and “If Hollywood Don’t Need You” for starters.
Yes, Don Williams original Tulsa Time makes more sense than a British rocker singing it. Saw Don Williams sing Tulsa Time at the Williams Center in downtown Tulsa. It was great!
The original Tulsa Time isn't quite as fast as this, Mr. Clapton sped it up, however the original song is fantastic as well, i hope you hear that version also.
@@bobsmith253 I do like it especially if I never heard the original but I agree with you. The tempo and Don Williams voice is just ear candy in the original. They haven't heard the best, the original.
Clapton's live cover of "Tulsa Time" peaked @ #30 in 1980. The studio version was on his 1978 LP "Backless." The original version was by country artist Don Williams peaking #1 Country in 1978.
Don Williams had ten thousand number one country hits, but no one ever seems to want to pay him any attention anymore. It's a crime. I think the problem is he's TOO country for these days. What's called country now is just pop music with a singer using a fake twang.
I love this song! Both Clapton and Don Williams did fantastic versions of this one. Different styles but both are bangers! Written by the great Danny Flowers.
Don Williams "I Believe In You" ************ Best ruclips.net/video/-xbqe_GajtQ/видео.html This must have been 5+ years ago. He passed at 78 in 2017. ruclips.net/video/Bjz6NqBP_LY/видео.html
Don Williams didn't do a cover. Eric Clapton did. Don Williams was the original singer, song writer was Danny Flowers. Don Williams released it back in 1978.
Eric spent time with Don Williams while he was getting clean. Don Williams is the calmest coolest cat on the planet. He did a great cover as pointed out. Check out Don maybe.
Amber is right, it should be slow and with feeling like Mr.Don Williams. Maybe they can try another of Don's 17 number ones. Maybe "You're my Best Friend?
Are you aware that was a musical titled "Oklahoma" that was preformed in 1940s? There was a film produced as well. You might want to check it out. Be well and stay safe.
Thank you for doing a great job reacting to all this wonderful music. Clapton's version of this song has the perfect mix of rock and blues!! Ok, here is the ultimate Oklahoma song for you - ' Your the reason God made Oklahoma' country song for the 70's - both of you will love it. Best wishes to your whole family and thanks for making me smile everyday!!
if no one has said...the piano player is CHRIS STAINTON who still plays with clapton...he was the organ player for joe cocker at woodstock..so thats him you here on help from my friends
Yes, Clapton covered this song Well! I do however love to dance to the original by Don Williams! Glad you're checking this one out, please do Don's next!
I love Eric Clapton don’t get me wrong but if you’re gonna go down the road to Tulsa Time you have to get the OG to sing it and check out Don Williams.
Must do the American version of the Australian band Silverchair. They were only 15 years old! The song "Tomorrow" was HUGE in 1995. Just a drummer, bass player and the lead singer is also the guitarist. They had been playing together since they were 12 years old
Jay- the drummer, Jamie Oldaker, was a classmate of mine at Tulsa Edison thru 1968. Jamie was a Tulsa native; his parents encouraged him in his drumming even to the point of driving him to local bars for after hour jam sessions into the night. He was a popular drummer in town; everybody knew he was going places. First stop was with Bob Seger in Detroit for Bob's 1st Album (Back in '72) and was with Leon Russell's' band when Eric Clapton came calling. Jamie play on Clapton's resurgent "461 Ocean Blvd" (I Shot the Sheriff, Motherless Children, Let It Grow among others), and was Clapton's drummer until 1979. He rejoined Eric in 1983 and played at "Live Aid" in 1985. Jamie recorded with "Asleep at the Wheel," Peter Frampton, Stephen Stills, Leon Russell, Ace Frehley, Freddie King, and the Bee Gees. His collaborators include Eric Clapton, Vince Gill, J. J. Cale, Willie Nelson, Ronnie Dunn, and Bonnie Bramlett Jamie contracted lung cancer in 2010's and passed away July 16, 2020. We were Facebook friends for several years. He would update on his cancer treatments with the last one posted just a few days before his passing. He never let on what his condition was nor how he was feeling. Jamie left his wife and 2 children.
You're The Reason God Made Oklahoma would be a good one. But please do the original Shelly West and David Frizzell version. You couldn't go wrong with any Don Williams song. Till the Rivers All Run Dry is My favorite.
I too came from Tulsa, Clapton came to town from the U.K. around 1970, to record at Leon Russles Shelter recording studioo downtown, He liked the Tulsa Sound, and picked Tulsa Musicians His drummer was in my sisters class, Jamie Oldecker. that band played on 10 albums including 1985 Live Aid.
I like Don Williams version better. Clapton's version is way too different, Williams' version is more a country sound and Clapton's version is more rock. Might want to look at Don Williams in general, he had a number of hits in the country genre'.
Emmylou Harris and Tulsa queen is a good song. most think Don Williams but the song was given to Eric is 78 and Don I believed covered it in 82 or 83. Eric at the time played with our fellow Okie J.J. Cale, and lived here in Tulsa Oklahoma.
I like Eric Clapton but nothing beats the original Don Williams. My Grandma was in love with Don Williams. I cry every time I here His song I believe in you. It was her favorite song.
Another great landmark celebrity from Tulsa Oklahoma to go to is the great Roy Clark ! He was on HeeHaw but anyone who knows music knows he was a world class picker
Roy is/was a treasure, so much so that his adopted home town of Tulsa (he was born, grew up, and lived the first part of his life in Virginia) named an elementary school for him, and he said of everything in his life, "Hee Haw", winning the national banjo championship, fame, fortune, all of it put together did not match having children going to and learning in a building with his name on it.
Don Williams originally did this song on the country charts. Clapton's version is "rocked up". It's a great country line dance song when Williams does it. Jay's wanting to do a line dance can come true with this song. Tulsa Time line dance: ruclips.net/video/bdDnqe0wYHw/видео.html
You guys should react to more Eric Clapton… "Tears In Heaven", "It's Probably Me", "The Core", "Lay Down Sally", "Motherless Children", "I Shot the Sheriff", "Pretending", "Bad Love", "Old Love", "Promises" 🎸🤘
Eric Clapton is considered one of the greatest guitar players that has ever lived, and when he did an interview with Rolling Stone, they asked him what was it like to be the greatest guitarist in the world, Eric Clapton replied... "ask Prince".
Eric is one of the greatest most influential blues guitarists that ever lived. He is one of SRV’s (and many many other’s) biggest guitar heroes. You really need to react to some more of his live performances. Would love to see you react to… Eric Clapton, Doyle Bramhall II, Derek Trucks - “Little Queen of Spades” (Live) ruclips.net/video/n7VDUWtgNQQ/видео.html Even has a keyboard solo. Maybe “I Shot the Sheriff” (Live) as well. ruclips.net/video/APWhx97QvxE/видео.html And on and on… we’re talking a rabbit hole of over fifty years of music. I’ve seen him four times. Been to two of his Crossroads Guitar Festivals. The festivals are available on video and an absolute must for every fan of the guitar.
I really like this versions, but I prefer I shot the sherriff at Crossroads 2004 or at MSG 2004. The version I like the most of Have you Ever loved a woman is with Billy Preston, or the one that Eric just uploaded recently at his channel
I've never heard the Clapton version, only the Don WIlliams one, this one goes hard, and anything Clapton is great, but the original is far, far superior, and even if not on the channel, you guys should listen to it.
Ya really gotta do the original, by DON WILLIAMS, the reason I like the original is because of the pace of it, it feels like OKLAHOMA to me, I lived there for a couple years, and that song just feels like it, because of the pace of it, this version is way to upbeat. 👍🍀
The Minor league baseball team in Tulsa would play this when they won( the Don Williams version) I remember as a kid going to the games with my dad and this song would be stuck in my head for days.
3 time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. With the Yardbirds, Cream, and solo. Have seen Eric twice in concert and would go again. I do like Forever Man, though not Eric's favorite, it's the connection Phil Collins made with Eric when his career was flagging in the '80's. I'm sorry to say that even I had kinda forgotten about Eric at that point.
If this is the video I think it is the accompanying group is Chris Stainton - keyboards "Duck" Dunn - bass Jamie Oldaker - drums Tim Renwick - guitar Marcy Levy & Shaun Murphy - backing vocals
I've been lucky enough to see Eric Clapton live twice. Once he was the only act, an awesome 3.5 to 4 hours, and he was the only one that never left the stage. The second time, his opening act was Jimmie Vaughan. (Yes, SRV's brother) If you haven't checked him out, you definitely should.He wrote a song about his brother called Six Strings Down. The brothers also did an album together called Family Style. Jimmie was also in a band called The Fabulous Thunderbirds, which had hits with "Tuff Enuff" and "Wrap It Up."
This is a hot country song, but the performance also rocks. Clapton is an artist who was greatly influenced by Rockabilly, with legends like Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins, and songs like Great Ball of Fire. Here, Clapton is paying homage to that feeling. There is a video of Eric Clapton, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr joining Carl Perkins singing the Rockabilly classic Blue Suede Shoes. That would make a great addition to your reactions library.
This version has a much faster tempo than the one on Eric Clapton’s album Backless or the Don Williams version. The slower version would be good for your back porch whiskey sipping.
Might as well continue the Oklahoma trend with George Strait- Tell me something bad about Tulsa….. Reba McEntire- There’s no U in Oklahoma Leon Russell- Home Sweet Oklahoma…… Love the channel a bunch……Good stuff You two bring to the table….😀 Thanks for all the effort… May God Bless You two and Your Sweet Kiddies…… 👍🙏🏻 🎲🎲
Paulo nutini singing on the Jool's Holland show is epic his first TV appearance singing " last request " I think he was only 17 at the time another great song of his is " Iron sky " PLEASE !! react to those im sure you will both love it 👍
Don Williams is the original singer of this song - much better as a country song. Some more great songs by Don Williams: You're My Best Friend, Good Ole Boys Like Me, Lord I Hope This Day is Good, and Gypsy Woman. You can't get any more country than Don.
Love me some Clapton but I got another rabbit hole for you. You guys have to react to some Little Feat. Funky, great guitar, keyboards, and storytelling.
Who doesn’t love Eric Clapton? You’ll have to compare this version with the original sung bY Don Williams. If you looking for a unique Eric Clapton song look for him, Luciano Pavarotti (famous operatic tenor) live performance in East London called Mother Mary there is also a choir present not to mention a great guitar solo by Clapton.
I love EricClapton and remember the story where he was telling the story about the last concert he played with SRV he said that SRV was playing better that night than he had ever saw and he was supposed to go on stage Clapton was waiting in the wings to go on after SRV and he said he looked around and said “ how I supposed too go on after that “ that was a quote from the book called Texas Flood
Tulsa Time was written by Danny Flowers from North Carolina, it was recorded & released by Don Williams in October 1978, it went #1, Eric Clapton covered it & released his version in August 1980, it went to #1, There’s a kick-ass video on you tube, a live on stage performance of Tulsa Time with Eric Clapton, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, & Albert Lee jammin’ it out, in 2007, live at Crossroads guitar festival, Bridgetown,IL, y’all need to check that one out! 🎶🎸😁
@@landenchantment I rechecked my info after I posted & found out you’re correct, my info had it backwards. You are not the first one to correct me on this. lol. My apologies. 👍
@@landenchantment Thank you, I love the song & both artists, I wasn’t trying to dishonor their achievements, it’s just at my age, the truth & the facts get a little blurry. lol 🤣
This song was originally recorded by Don Williams and released in 1978. It was written by his guitarist, and they do it "country style" so give it a listen too.

Eric covered this in 78, can't miss a great tune.
I didn’t recognize this, doesn’t Don Williams play a little of this in Smokey and The Bandit 2? Jerry Reed says “ Don Williams!? He’s my second favorite country singer”

The original Tulsa Time isn't quite as fast as this, Mr. Clapton sped it up, however the original song is fantastic as well, i hope you hear that version also.
Yes don williams…
It's because of his close relationship with J.J. Cale who was from Tulsa. It was a bit of a tribute to J.J.
This version is being rushed, way too much.
@@bobsmith253 I do like it especially if I never heard the original but I agree with you. The tempo and Don Williams voice is just ear candy in the original. They haven't heard the best, the original.
Sir Eric Clapton, easily one of the top 3 guitarist in the world English blues master that could play anything
If y'all want to hear another Oklahoma song, check out "You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma" by David Frizzell & Shelly West. Great song!
Orrrr "Oklahoma Borderline " by Vince Gill
How have they not done Merle Haggard "Okie From Muskogee" yet?
Or JJ Cale's If You're Ever in Oklahoma.
Or, "Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa" by George Strait.
I think it was just an album cut, but Wade Hayes cut a pretty cool song called Don't Make Me Come to Tulsa.
Don Williams first recorded the song in 1978 covered by hundreds
Clapton's live cover of "Tulsa Time" peaked @ #30 in 1980. The studio version was on his 1978 LP "Backless." The original version was by country artist Don Williams peaking #1 Country in 1978.
They need to react to Don William's version!
Don Williams had ten thousand number one country hits, but no one ever seems to want to pay him any attention anymore. It's a crime. I think the problem is he's TOO country for these days. What's called country now is just pop music with a singer using a fake twang.
Written by Don Williams guitarist…now need some Don Williams reaction!
Wrote by Danny Flowers but sung by Don Williams!
Please do the Don Williams version!! It’s the original!!
Don Williams is the original and best version. Williams has many more hits to listen to as well.
I love this song!
Both Clapton and Don Williams did fantastic versions of this one.
Different styles but both are bangers!
Written by the great Danny Flowers.
Both hit #1 with it
I believe the guy banging the keys was Chris Stainton.
Don Williams version is great. Jason Boland and the Stragglers do a very good cover.
@@collincolston8443 So do the Petersens
J & Amber, you'll love Eric's "After Midnight", "Forever Man" and "Change The World"!!! Anything off his MTV Unplugged album is terrific!
Unplugged is definitely one one his best. But you really need to hear more of his electric blues first.
"Running on faith"✌️💛🤘
Yes, love Forever Man and After Midnight - they slay.
Can't believe you guys have never heard this one. My dad was a big fan of Don Williams and he did an amazing cover of this song.

Clapton is an icon that everyone should get a dose of.

you need to check out the late Don Williams and his version of this song if you want country dancing
This is a cover of the song by Don Williams. It was a very popular country tune. Eric clapton did a great job on this too.

Must do the American version of the Australian band Silverchair. They were only 15 years old! The song "Tomorrow" was HUGE in 1995. Just a drummer, bass player and the lead singer is also the guitarist. They had been playing together since they were 12 years old
You must hear Clapton's "Change the World"...Beautiful...
Jay- the drummer, Jamie Oldaker, was a classmate of mine at Tulsa Edison thru 1968.

Eric is one of the greatest most influential blues guitarists that ever lived. He is one of SRV’s (and many many other’s) biggest guitar heroes. You really need to react to some more of his live performances. Would love to see you react to…
Eric Clapton, Doyle Bramhall II, Derek Trucks - “Little Queen of Spades” (Live)
ruclips.net/video/n7VDUWtgNQQ/видео.html
Even has a keyboard solo.
Maybe “I Shot the Sheriff” (Live) as well.

And on and on… we’re talking a rabbit hole of over fifty years of music. I’ve seen him four times. Been to two of his Crossroads Guitar Festivals. The festivals are available on video and an absolute must for every fan of the guitar.
He's also a racist POS. Don't get why he gets so many reviews when he's a scumbag.
I really like this versions, but I prefer I shot the sherriff at Crossroads 2004 or at MSG 2004. The version I like the most of Have you Ever loved a woman is with Billy Preston, or the one that Eric just uploaded recently at his channel

Yeah, I grew up hearing the Don Williams version. This isn’t a bad cover, but it alters the feel of the song.
No, no, no... Tulsa Time is sung by the legendary Don Williams. No other!
Ya really gotta do the original, by DON WILLIAMS, the reason I like the original is because of the pace of it, it feels like OKLAHOMA to me, I lived there for a couple years, and that song just feels like it, because of the pace of it, this version is way to upbeat. 👍🍀

3 time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. With the Yardbirds, Cream, and solo. Have seen Eric twice in concert and would go again. I do like Forever Man, though not Eric's favorite, it's the connection Phil Collins made with Eric when his career was flagging in the '80's. I'm sorry to say that even I had kinda forgotten about Eric at that point.
If this is the video I think it is the accompanying group is
Chris Stainton - keyboards
"Duck" Dunn - bass
Jamie Oldaker - drums
Tim Renwick - guitar
Marcy Levy & Shaun Murphy - backing vocals
I've been lucky enough to see Eric Clapton live twice. Once he was the only act, an awesome 3.5 to 4 hours, and he was the only one that never left the stage.

Yes, I agree.. the Gentle Giant Don Williams version
The best version of Tulsa time is by the original singer country music singer Don Williams you will agree this version is the best.
Don William's is fantastic and a must listen.
For Eric, I HIGHLY recommend The Core and Mainline Florida
As previously stated don Williams did a slower country version of this song
Please react to Eric’s “Layla”, “Bad Love”, or his playing on Cream’s “”White Room”, “Badge”, “Sunshine of Your Love”,”Crossroads”
"I've Been Everywhere"
Johnny Cash version
This was a #1 for Don Williams first. I love Don William’s version.
Also, You’re the reason God Made Oklahoma by Shelly West…
Y'all should listen to the original by Don Williams. As someone else suggested, he's another artist to delve into.
Might as well continue the Oklahoma trend with George Strait- Tell me something bad about Tulsa…..
Reba McEntire- There’s no U in Oklahoma

You're My Best Friend, Good Ole Boys Like Me, Lord I Hope This Day is Good, and Gypsy Woman.
You can't get any more country than Don.
I'm sitting here multitasking and I'm like wait a minute it's a Don Williams song and then I noticed Richard already beat me to it
Layla by Derek and the Dominos needs a reaction. It’s Eric and Duane Allman band 🔥
Love me some Clapton but I got another rabbit hole for you. You guys have to react to some Little Feat. Funky, great guitar, keyboards, and storytelling.
Country song that many have done a cover of, but Eric was the 1st. And I could just hear Tulsa boy Leon Russell doing that piano.
Who doesn’t love Eric Clapton? You’ll have to compare this version with the original sung bY Don Williams. If you looking for a unique Eric Clapton song look for him, Luciano Pavarotti (famous operatic tenor) live performance in East London called Mother Mary there is also a choir present not to mention a great guitar solo by Clapton.
I don't. As a person, he is terrible. Read his bio. As a guitar player, he is an excellent mimic.
I don't think I own one EC album. But I do have tons of CDs of the original artists he copies.
I've been saying you gotta listen to Don Williams! He's the greatest!
24 hours from Tulsa by Gene Pitney.One of the great voices of rock history.
Yes Don William's original is a must, please..
I agree you all should listen to the original version by Don Williams
Another good OK song is Okie from Muskogee by Merle Haggard.
I love EricClapton and remember the story where he was telling the story about the last concert he played with SRV he said that SRV was playing better that night than he had ever saw and he was supposed to go on stage Clapton was waiting in the wings to go on after SRV and he said he looked around and said “ how I supposed too go on after that “ that was a quote from the book called Texas Flood
Please listen to the origional Don Williams version of this song. It has all the slow southern style you mention you were expecting.
Oklahoma Borderline - Vince Gill look for the video tagged Killer Guitar Player.
Great clip. Vince is so humble and such a great story teller.
Tulsa Time was written by Danny Flowers from North Carolina, it was recorded & released by Don Williams in October 1978, it went #1, Eric Clapton covered it & released his version in August 1980, it went to #1, There’s a kick-ass video on you tube, a live on stage performance of Tulsa Time with Eric Clapton, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, & Albert Lee jammin’ it out, in 2007, live at Crossroads guitar festival, Bridgetown,IL, y’all need to check that one out! 🎶🎸😁
It was a #1 for Don as well.
@@icedcoffee9607 I rechecked my facts, you are correct.
@@landenchantment I rechecked my info after I posted & found out you’re correct, my info had it backwards. You are not the first one to correct me on this. lol. My apologies. 👍
@@landenchantment Thank you, I love the song & both artists, I wasn’t trying to dishonor their achievements, it’s just at my age, the truth & the facts get a little blurry. lol 🤣
Absolutely remarkable live performance. I give the entire band and ensemble, including the sound and light engineers, a 10 out of 10. 😉♥
Anything with Eric Clapton is awesome 😎
People think of Eric Clapton as a guitarist (and so he is!) but he's got a really great voice too, characterful, strong and in tune. Love it!
I saw Eric Clapton live just a few weeks ago. It's unbelievable how a guy at his age is still rocking and pulls in sold out venues.
