I honestly believe this man/artist is one of the most underrated performers in country music. Rest in Peace Hal.
Agreed 😢
Agreed.
The most underrated country stars , his passing was a great loss to music and the human experience of story telling .
One of my favorite Hal Ketchum songs. RIP Hal, the world has lost another beautiful voice and talent.
This is my favourite deep cut of his. But that whole album was full of so many good songs. As a bit of late bloomer in his music career too, years spent perfecting his music and broke into the scene at just the perfect time when more traditional sounding country artists were once again popular for country radio. True country fans always yearn for that during Nashville’s multiple times of creating pop crossover artists. Which is why many of us are listening more to Roots/Americana artists where it’s a bit like the 70s outlaw movement and wanting to make meaningful music, with lyrics that make you truly feel. Hal Ketchum had that in his writing. But I do concur this should have been a single. I remember as a kid that I asked my Dad to learn the song to play for me (he’s a PT musician. A couple Ketchum songs part of their band’s set lists for decades now). He’s been playing it again a lot after hearing of his passing. With my dad having a father also with Alzheimer’s/dementia (although not early onset like Ketchum’s) it’s still the same hell. For the person suffering and the family. While an atheist, I do sometimes envision musician heaven and that it’d probably be pretty cool. Unfortunately just adding up those we’ve lost in just 2020 would make one hell of a supergroup.
🤔🤔🤔
You are the truest of troubadours, Hal. God, do you know how much I miss you, no you don’t but I do.
This one hurts, I'll miss you mucho Mr Ketchum. It was a pleasure to have worked with you....
Rest in peace, Hal. Dammit you'll be missed.
Amen brother, amen.
I will never fear for I will never feel. Man that’s tough.
A truly profound line ...
Wow. This was filmed less than 2 months before his diagnosis, and you can see it in his eyes. So very sad.
There's nothing at all fair about life. Hal was such a talented singer with an amazing voice.
RIP Hal. Thank you for sharing your voice with us.
I am so sad to hear of Hal's passing. One of the best vocalists in country music.
I surely MISS this unique , awesome voice!!! Rest in Peace , Hal!! Till we hear you again!
One of the beautiful, masterful things that always runs through my brain on this song is the choice of words around “lover of a drink, lover of a fight, one more round can surely set things right”
A round of drinks? A round of a fight? I just love what he did there, tied them both together.
Saw him in Chicago in Grant Park and when he started playing this, he saw my reaction to the first notes, and he smiled at me. He just seemed so content to share his music and what an authentic talent it was. Bless you Hal.
One of the top 5 underrated greatest songwriters and singers of all time!
If you loved Hal’s voice, guitar and writing then you knew he was special. A wordsmith, a poet, a liver of life. I know I was truly lucky to sit in his audiences a few times and to be taken on a journey with Hal as everyone there was, if only for a couple of hours.
I’ll listen to Hal Ketchum’s music for the rest of my time here. God bless you, Hal. Rest easy, oh great one.
I'm still mourning Hal Ketchum. Still breaks my heart to see him perform, but this particular video is the hardest of all !! God Bless your Spirit Hal! Still love your music
I have a Mary, but I'm hangin' on tight to her. Such a sad song.
He has the most unique voice. I miss his music. R.I.P., Hal. 💔
I don't think he had a bad song . A fantastic catalogue he leaves behind another country legend gone .
We saw Hal in Big Bear Lake, California shortly before he quit touring. He is a seriously underrated singer and songwriter. He is irreplaceable in country music.
Beautiful voice. I had the honor and pleasure of enjoying the gifted Hal Ketchum, along with sweet Kenny Grimes, perform multiple times the last couple of years here in Texas. Such a loss, his music will live on.
Holly Kauitzsch ... I was fortunate, caught Hal & Kenny in Pasadena CA about two years ago ... RIP Brother 🙏🏻
Rest in paradise Hal. Your songs will live forever! I’m 24 and 5 years ago me and my friends were always driving circles in our little town blasting Small Town Saturday Night. Some great memories to your music playing in the background. ❤️
Loved this man's voice!!! Past the Point of Rescue!
Hal, you were always one of my favorite! I remember when we would run into each other around town. You were always so kind, I always said you were dreamy! 😍Glad I can still hear you and enjoy your beautiful voice. Miss you Hal. God bless you, Rest in peace.🙏
I Miss Our Hal... 😔
This song opens so many emotional floodgates. One of the most talented humans there has ever been. I can see your future in yours eyes, here. One last gift. Thank you so much.
I saw it as well, and it was a gut punch. 😒
Heartbreaking news......... seen Hal 3 times in Glasgow....... fabulous concerts from an amazing talented gentleman. R.I.P. Hal
Rest in Peace- his voice was as strong as when I first heard it 30 years ago- very unique
Oh, ghost, lost and grieved by the wind, come back again.
I'm so sad. I loved his originals and his arrangements of cover songs. I was so lucky to meet him backstage during the previous millennium at The Barns at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Virginia. I was teaching English back then, and he was really into children's lit and making toys for kids. He was a master carpenter. His paintings were exhibited in respected galleries. What an amazing person.
Omgoodness… I heard his song today and forgot how much I loved his music.. thank you for such a beautiful legacy Hal….❤ rest in paradise my friend 🕊️🌹
God bless his heart ❤️...lord please take care of him his life here was not easy ...😢
I didn't know he was gone
till now 3/14/2021. My wife and I used to listen to his songs on road trips. This one got alot of replay. Now it's hard to listen knowing the man is no longer with us.
Legend. Just a plain old legend. RIP.
Always enjoyed his younger days singing in the 90's he still sounds so good sad to hear he's passed
I'll always remember watching Hal sing Hang in there Superman and my sister (5 yrs old at the time) noticed his wedding ring and started crying because she had it set she'd marry him one day ❤️. RIP Hal.
Such cute memories ❤️ time is a strange thing.
Been listening to this man since 1991. He was unbelievable. So sad he left us early. He was truly a misrepresented singer and song writer. I listen to him and drink my whiskey nightly. I will always love this man. Rest in peace brother.
Damn. Top 5 talent of all time. So sad right now
He stayed true to himself, that's all you can ask for in a true artist, and he was without a doubt,that.
I'm a little frustrated with myself. I hadn't kept up with Mr. Ketchum since the 90's. I had just remembered him for a few hits that were always on the radio back then. It took the news of his passing to see some of what he had been producing as of late. What an amazing talent he was.
Loved his video “Small Town Saturday Night”, with the 1938 western movie “The Terror of Tiny Town” playing on the screen in the background!
Lived their in Fischer next door to the hall. Met him several times and heard him sing. Soft voice believe it or not. Music...gold. RIP Hal.
The purest of voices. Most humble of men. Genius artist. The lives of strangers you have touched, maybe you know now. You are now free. Rest in peace , sweet, sweet prince.
I will miss my Hal. 🎙🎶🎶
one word "remarkable" R.I.P big man
When I worked at the bars my boyfriend would play Hal on the jukebox for me from far away. He knew I loved his music. ♥️
He sounds so good but looks sad.....I'm sad that he's gone 😥
I was an overnight operator at a small town radio station in 1991 when the new country was heating up. I loved Hal Ketchum. I remember a college professor, who had some work for CMT over those years writing and reporting about the new artists. He described Ketchum as unique- a renaissance man of sorts, he could have easily doubled as a male fashion model, and had a unique sound and gift in his music. I'll never forget that, and I've pulled up some songs every few years. I had no idea he passed. This is a beautiful song.
My top three best country songs of all time 3.Kenny Rogers - Coward of the county 2.Colin Raye - Love Me 1.Hal Ketchum - I miss my Mary. Rest easy Hal Ketchum! Prayers to his family and loved one's.
I love music 🎶 this is sweet
Ugh! This is hitting so hard right now! I miss him already.
Listening to Hal on RUclips since about 5:00 when I heard of Hal's passing. I'm so sad, but sure that he is in a better place. Rest in Peace, poet. You will surely be missed.
hal was the voice that united our family. I hope dad gets to hang out with him in heaven
It's a sad, sad day :(
RIP Hal. You were an amazing song-write and performer.
Always loved the cry in Hal’s voice. True emotion and grit comes from the soul and his music never lacked any of those. 💕💕. Massive talent.
My father passed from dementia just last year. All my grieving, all my mourning, all my tears, all of him that I could remember filled my mind last december.
My prayers to all here, and the Ketchum family who have suffered and rejoiced along side anyone who battled dementia.
Rest in peace, beautiful soul.
"I will never fear, for I will never feel..."
Such a wonderful talent, and unmistakable voice that is missed. Rest in peace Hal, and thanks....
yes it was sad hearin of hals passin....seen him in glasgows grand ole opry ..thank god i took the video ..and recorded most of the show .even got to talk to him on the break outside that night .and he spoke to fans at end of the night ...a great man .just great memories... Rip hal....
Heaven has another heavenly voice.
I saw him in Rochester, Mn back in 95 or so, then did security detail as he played a gig 24 years later. He got off the bus and was kind to me. As I gig out in public I do a few of his songs....now including this one. Kevin Kleist music on facebook. RIP
Beautiful music. RIP - 11/23/20.
As a country music drummer myself, I thank you for the music and the memories, lost my mother last year to end stage alzheimers, 🙏 to entire family, dont know you all, but somehow I feel like I do. Rest in eternal peace Hal.
I was shocked to find out that Hal's health isn't great .. His wife released a message saying that his Dementia is getting worse ...
I send him all my love. Hal 's music has been a soundtrack of my life ... Keep fighting Hal.. You're may never remember us, but we'll never forget you .. Always in My prayers .
My favorite Hal Ketchum song. Rest easy old friend.
THE ABSOLUTE EPITOME OF GREAT SONGWRITING. R.I.P. HAL.
RIP Hal... this is breathtaking...
My favorite Hal Ketchum song! Great talent but seemed to be so underrated! RIP
Rest In Peace. I love your music. From Lisbon, Portugal
Holy cow, he still sounds the same. What a great talent that will be truly missed by the selected few of us with real taste.
The last time I heard this I was in the Navy in 93 I was young and hadn't yet experienced the level of Sorrow that the song talks about. Seems like only a few moments ago I was there and now I'm instantly catapulted decades later to this present moment. In which the familiarity of the song exist but my experiences now explain the song Perfectly to me.
Good to see him pickin and singin with ole KG. Great pair. One of the greatest mysteries to me is how this man never became a superstar. Obviously, I hear something more than most of the music execs when I hear him sing. One of the purest voices ever. Can't get enough of Hal's music
RIP, one of my favorites.
I got this album or cd when it came out. I was 21 I think. I really liked small town Saturday night. But I listened to the whole thing and I remember hearing this song the first time. It made a life long impression on me. So I’m 54 now and still listening. I also still have the cd that I still listen to sometimes.
RIP Hal.
Good soong. RIP Hal.
RIP Hal, you were one of my favorites! So glad to have met you a few times over the years... Peace & Comfort for you family...
If you ever made that mistake, this song will hit you like a hammer
you are sorely missed, Hal
I so love this with all of my heart and I loved this singer/songwriter more than you will ever know. RIP, Brother.
Any doubts about how talented Hal was? My goodness this is awesome!
RIP. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Another good artist gone too soon. RIP Hal..
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STRONG VOICE, EVEN WHEN HE WAS NOT WELL. I WILL MISS HIM SO VERY MUCH
So sad. RIP Hal. Your songs were great and one was even my wifes and mine wedding dance song.
Not sure when this was recorded, but that voice hasn't skipped a beat. RIP
Been listening to Hal for 30 years, so many great memories associated with his songs. Lucky to have seen a couple California concerts in recents years. Take care Hal, your music is a gift.
Great, great voice!!!!!!!
Wonderful song!!!
RIP Hal...you will always leave me with great memories. My late father and I would always listen to your music.
I always loved this song. I loved Hal's unique voice. I was sad to hear of Hal's passing. Rest In Peace fly high.
Hal Ketchum was a very talented artist. I love all his music. I'm going to miss him , But Thankful he left us wonderful music to remember him by. God bless you Hal, sing with the Angels.😔
What an amazing voice.....the sadness in his eyes makes me really humble ......what a great singer
Was a time when Gnashville knew when it had a gem on Music Row.
But that all ended way before Ketchum came to town.
Important thing is, his family & friends, and some of his fans, knew how special a person he was.
Hal was one of my favourite voices ever, followed his career since the 90's. His songs got me through some tough moments.
God Bless you !! Big Love and thank you for your music !!💖🙏
What a virtuoso storyteller and architect of so many perfectly written (and sung) songs. Thank you, Hal
I've always loved "I Miss My Mary", but this version is too mournful for me to hold back the tears. Thanks, Hal. RIP
Damnit. Just......damnit.
Still such a beautiful voice! RIP! you will be so missed!
Man....what a song...what a singer. awesome. RIP Hal.
Absolutely one of the most beautiful voices of the music and very underrated. Thank you for share your talent hith us Hal.
Excellent! R.I.P. Hal
