I have always loved that song. They sound perfect together.
These two hugely talented artists came from country royalty and formed one of the most underrated duos in the business. This lovely ballad of love and separation is their signature tune and remains one of my favorites. Thanks again for another insightful reaction/rating, Don, and keep countryin' that rock.
My grandpa changed the words when I was little. He always sang you're the reason God made South Dakota! He sang it to my cousin and I when we were like 5 or 6 :D
such a great duet!!!
Love this song...."Meet me in Montana" by Dan Seals and Marie Osmond is another great song you should react to :-)
Yes!
I was going to suggest the same thing.
Not only is she the daughter of Dottie West but he’s the brother of Country Legend Lefty Frizzell.
Please do Shelly’s big hit Jose Cuervo.
Yes to “José Cuervo”!
True Paul I love this channel real country fans from elk hunter
Such a fun song!
Well, as an optimistic Okie myself, I think they get back together someway somehow. This reminds me of another beautiful song about Tennessee, "Please Come to Boston."
one of my faves all time
Wow. That was great. Hope you got your Oklahoma shirt. and you're right we are good people. I've lived in Oklahoma most of my life. BTW David Frizzel had a famous country singer relative. Lefty Frizzell . Uncle I think.
Love this song
You should react to Shellie West singing “ Jose Cuervo “ . It’s a double winner , and so fun to listen too
When I was stationed in California their “cowboys” were called dress me up, f**k me, Barbie doll cowboys 😂😂😂 We noticed things they didn’t have that we had they had no farm or ranch history and we noticed they didn’t have clauses on their hands from work.
My wife & mine first duet in karaoke & probably our best !😀
Lefty Frizell did a great storytelling song in Saginaw Michigan. You’ll like it. Trust me!!
I always loved this song.
You should react to David’s father Lefty Frezzile.You would love Saginaw, Michigan, clever lyrics and great vocals .Another is Long Black Veil.
What a great reaction! What a great record!! I give you a 9.2
This is a great song that I never liked when it came out. Now I'm older and I appreciate it so much more.
Thanks for the shoutout, the shirt should be there any day. Gotta love songs about Oklahoma :)
Don thanks for doing this song for me. David Frizzle has a good voice, it runs in the family. Leffty Frizzel is his older brother. He also has a lot or great songs. Shelly West is probably best known for "Jose Cuervo". Thanks brother.
I wonder where they are today. We saw them in NJ, and I believe it was during the urban cowboy craze. They had some good songs, both together and as individual artists. Thanks for the good memories, Don.
2 of the 4 writers of this songs were husband and wife team of Boudleaux and Felice Bryant who also have written such songs "Bye Bye Love", "Wake Up Little Susie" and "All I have to do is dream" by The Everly Brothers .
There is a lot happening between the lines, that someone who grew up in an urban or suburban community wouldn't necessarily catch. "A rancher's daughter" he knew not only the girl but her father bc everybody knows everybody in less densely populated parts of the country, and this breeds a certain level of respect in not treating poorly the daughter of a man you know and respect. There's a lot that can be inferrred in these lines most easily accessed by persons who have experienced this rural agrarian lifestyle.
This is a classic... David & Shelley beautiful song and duo.. David is Lefty’s brother but I’m sure you knew that 😉.. good guy.. great review Don ..
David Frizzell is Lefty Frizell's younger brother.
This was my mother's song. She went with a man from Oklahoma; she cussed him everytime she heard this song. My brothers and I picked on her for years about it.
Would like to see you react to Dan Seals "You still move me"
one great song!
Shelly was married to David's little brother Alan
A tragic story of 2 lovers who wanted different things out of life. I had already picked 9.2 for a rating, and you said the same thing. lol
@Gary Guinn People have caught onto me and my ratings--ha!!
Wooooh! Excited to see an Oklahoma vid today 🤗 I'd mail you a shirt too Don if I had the address (or maybe a hat)
P.s. Chickasaw
Many people consider the Andy Griffith Show to be a hayseed comedy with a group of bumbling backwoods county bumpkins, too dumb and isolated to realize there was a world of excitement and turmoil just outside the confines of Mayberry. But in truth, the early shows. in particular, were rich in character building, moral guidance, and the need to be true to one's self. That being said, this song reminds me of the Class Reunion episode (S3E19) where Andy meets up with his long lost sweetheart at a class reunion. As they sit alone talking and reminiscing the past, the lost love appears to be rekindling. But as the conversation progresses, the spark is squelched as they both recall why the relationship ended. Upon graduation, she had longed for a life outside the limits imposed by Mayberry and couldn't survive as "a big fish in a swallow pond"; where Andy was content with the simple life of small town America and comfort provided by friends and family. That same situation appears to be the reason for the separation in this song. Both parties clinging to the memory of their past; but unwilling to give up the thing that makes them happy in their present life. Thanks, Don for giving your time and energy to this site.
@PopKnows Thanks for the wonderful post---everybody loves Andy!! I used to watch it with my sisters when we were little, and of course as a kid the one who always cracked me up was Barney. Those two worked so well together. And of course a couple of the ladies were easy to look at. :-)
Should do some of Lefty Frizzell’s songs.
@Zach Gates I just recorded one yesterday in a recording session, and it will be up in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned!
Love this song. Blake and miranda lambert had some big shoes to fill on this one
David is the younger brother to Lefty
morning Don how are you, those rich ladies like to safe a horse and ride a cowboy HAKAD
Don you should react to the video and song I'm gonna leave you tomorrow by John Schneider thank you Brian from michigan
David Frizzell was Lefty Frizzell's brother
He is the brother of lefty Frizzel.
I think she said a 2 room flat, not a two bedroom flat.
I think she has a 2 room apartment not a 2 bedroom apartment. Same idea try George Jones and Tammy Wynette singing Southern California.
I had forgotten about that one. Very good song.
Hope you have a moment for me to tell you a little story about David Frizzell, sorry if I have mentioned it before, but every time I see him I have to tell this story lol, Years ago when I was probably in my early 20's and still a gal who enjoyed going to the clubs and having a good time, a friend and I went to see David and Shelly at a little honky tonk in Missouri, I was pretty well into my night by the time they started to sing and let me say I was not feeling any pain! I met this nice guy there and we talked and laughed for a while and then he asked me to come outside and said he wanted me to meet someone. I was skeptical about going but I went anyway, he told me to step on this bus, and I said no way would I ever go on this bus alone with a stranger, well after a few minutes he talked me into it saying no I promise I just want you to meet someone, So I stepped up into this bus and saw a man sitting in one of the seats with nothing on but his underwater, and another guy standing beside him sewing a button on a pair of pants, the young man I had been talking to in the bar said Becky I would like for you to meet my Dad, David Frizzell, my jaw dropped to the floor, I was so embarrassed to see him in his underwear, he laughed at me blushing and said any friend of my son is a friend of mine, he then asked if I had any requests for him to sing once he got on stage, I asked him to sing I'm gonna hire a wino, so his son and I went back into the bar and he bought me a drink, when David came inside the bar I asked if I could get his autograph (to dumbfounded to ask in the bus) so he said sure and asked if I had a piece of paper, I didn't have a piece of paper, but I was wearing a low cut blouse so he took out his magic marker and reached over and signed one of my breast. A little embarrassing now but I sure didn't mind that night lol.
I've lived in Oklahoma; I always felt like the title of this song was the cruellest thing you could ever say to anybody.
You should hear Blake and Miranda's version of this song
She's gonna move back to Oklahoma since that's what they're singing about.
Also David frezzel is lefty frezzel son so 2legends kids elk hunter
Either he or a family member was a member of Dottie's band. That is how they met. Such great singers. Dottie gone far too soon!
