      ​@@dennisjakobsen1648 Are you trying to start a debate?. Real music was around in the late 1800's and early 1900's that my grandparents listened too, not mindless beats for cavemen that people listen today. Modern music has NO skill or talent from the musicians its just people selling a message of sin to manipulate the children to support evil (in my opinion). The highwaymen is great

      It was the 70's. The age of free love (and drugs) hadn't quite faded yet, and so you had some very unique ballads coming up in that time. You couldn't even say the 70's was anything in particular musically. There were soooo many good tunes coming from everywhere back then, that whole decade was swimming in gold and this was a part of that. It often felt like it was time to toss the old rules out of what couldn't be done and just go with the flow. These Boys were among those who helped revitalize country in a way no one had thought possible, and we'll all love them for it forever.

      Not originally a country song. Written and first recorded by Jimmy Webb, produced by George Martin in 1977. Much more pop and orchestral. Webb was a friend of Waylon Jennings who recorded several of his songs including “MacArthur Park.”

    • @elllelf
      @elllelf 4 года назад +21

      @@tonkaGuy888 You aren't wrong, but for me the point is that country embraced the song and made it their own by implementing a country feel and beat. The lyrics being what they are were still embraced by country, which involves the song into the canon of country music. So the original comment can still be applicable. If country stars had said, "Hey this thematic content isn't country and we don't want to do it" then it wouldn't be a country music song. But it is because Webb's inspired lyrics inspired these stars as well.

      To stick with the country theme, here are a few examples:
      Blues Saraceno (gothic country/blues/hard rock/heavy metal)
      The White Buffalo (alternative country/country/roots rock)
      The Brothers Bright (modern alternative rock)
      The Heavy Horses (country/roots)

Marty was thinking of the 4 guys and knew they wouldn't have to sing the verses together/harmonize which was good because of Willie's and Johnny's voices being so different. Marty said Johnny said "I want the one about the spaceship." The Stuart quote is only a couple of minutes long and easy to find.

    Lyrics..
    I was a highwayman
    Along the coach roads I did ride
    With sword and pistol by my side
    Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
    Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
    The bastards hung me in the spring of '25
    But I am still alive
    I was a sailor
    I was born upon the tide
    With the sea I did abide
    I sailed a schooner 'round the Horn to Mexico
    I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow
    And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
    But I am living still
    I was a dam builder
    Across the river deep and wide
    Where steel and water did collide
    A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
    I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
    They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
    But I am still around
    I'll always be around, and around and around
    And around and around and around and around
    I'll fly a starship
    Across the Universe divide
    And when I reach the other side
    I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
    Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
    Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
    But I will remain
    And I'll come back again, and again
    And again and again and again and again
    And again

      @@BEASTMODEJR-xf5ky The song is beautiful - written by Jimmy Webb. He also wrote Up, Up and Away, done by the 5th Dimension. Super song writer. As beautiful as the song is - I think the magic of this performace is this performance. The four powerhouse stars. The dancing other-worldly nature of the guitars. Everything about this video/recording is ethereal and a work of art.

      Well, it isn't a "country" song, per se. Written by Jimmy Webb, it just happened to be a hit by these super legends. He wrote other hit songs for other artists. One example of a totally not country sound, was Up Up and Away by the Fifth Dimension from the late 60's.

    Lyrics
    I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride
    With sword and pistol by my side
    Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
    Many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade
    The bastards hung me in the spring of '25
    But I am still alive
    I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide
    And with the sea I did abide
    I sailed a schooner 'round the horn to Mexico
    I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow
    And when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed
    But I am living still
    I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
    Where steel and water did collide
    A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
    I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
    They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sound
    But I am still around
    I'll always be around and around and around
    And around and around and around
    I'll fly a star ship across the universe divide
    And when I reach the other side
    I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
    Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
    Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
    But I will remain
    And I'll be back again and again and again
    And again and again and again
