Yeah , I saw that too !! What an Awesome Job.

Love his voice.awesome.

I was just about to say that

Well I'm going to add my thing he knew my dad back in the day you could just young and what

Indeed, Randy was definitely proud 👏 of Mr. Johnson!!!

That's awesome! Semper Fi sir.

Salute

Awesome to have know him in the beginning!

Semper Fi Delis!!! Thanks for your service!

Nice memory.

Yes sir he sure did

Hell yes.

i'm French and i love this music, what a cool dude Randy Owen is

My dad grew up in the tiniest town in Belmont, Louisiana (Luziana, lol), and I went to Many, which was a small town in its own rite (its grown quite a bit...sad) every summer when I was a kid, so I was practically raised there. The main event in town was the basketball game, and my very first steady boyfriend was on the team. Unfortunately, I had to go back to school. My friends and cousins tried to talk my dad into letting me go to school in Many - it would have been so cool. Southern men are gentlemen who still open the car door for you, and of course, you are expected as a woman, to treat a southern man with respect. A good Southern man will defend you with his life, and they deserve all the respect a strong woman has to give them. I still miss my first boyfriend, and that was years ago when I was 14 and he was 18, (I'm 66 now), but he came from a good family, so my dad didnt have too much of a problem with it, especially since he was a supurb basketball player! I miss those days, and I want to write a song about sitting on the porch swing shelling butter beans (all the folks would stop by and talk, let down the hatch of the truck and play Creedence Clearwater and other songs. We had a blast, and the big deal was going around the main drag of town every Friday and Sat. night (if you didn't have a date). Who knew you could have so much fun just 'drivin'! Here is a url for a really great bluegrass band (very original). I think you might really like them,

@@truthlikevelcro5689Much love from Loreauville, sister

@@Fixdatyou Wow, you're a little bitty town! I had to look it up on the internet *_what did we do before Google, lol._* I'm thinking seriously of buying an RV and going down south but not staying anywhere too long. I also want to see the ocean again. Everytime I see water I get excited! Thanks for the love, and back at ya, Fixdatyou.

@@truthlikevelcro5689 😂 Our little bitty village is dwarfed by most tiny towns (but we like it that way). I’m in my late 40’s, originally from New Iberia, and we grew up as you described in you first post. Are you still living in “the boot”, or did you move out of state?

@@Fixdatyou Nio, sadly I had to move for school. Mly dad was leavijng and he wanted me to go with him. I went back on my own when I was in my 30s, and I lived there for a little while; I worked at a place called "Freds Pharmacy" Many had really changed. it almost became like a mini Natchitoches. I moved back after a year. I garew up in Illinois, but myu dad was a southern man, so we went to Louisiana almost every year. He went to see his mother and brother. We had a blast. I wish I grew ;up there. That's how much I loved the south! Although I grew in Illinoise, I followed my fiance' to Arizona almost 25 years ago.. He's gone, but I still live in Ariozoa.

The South gets a bad rep for a lot of things, some warranted, but the rest? I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Hell yea

Amen

Compliments to you and your family. Love what you said!!! I feel like you do.

Southern by the Grace of God

That was awesome ,it's in your blood or it's not

i love this song and i am from Johnson City Tennessee

I’m from Alabama, been away for awhile, there’s nothing like home no matter where it is, the stars will lead me back one day

Yes I live in Alabama phenix city.....

Doug, I’m from Alabama and you’re welcome to come here anytime! Geeez, Jamey Johnson is the bomb! Randy has competition but not really Jamey is way younger than Randy! Jamey is from Alabama, also! Gosh, love his voice!

It’s born and bred not born and bread.

What one man can do to a great song

Respect for sure!

It's JAMEY

Randy has nothing to prove

It’s like a mutual respect thing like randy could stand there the whole time and wouldn’t take anything away from that guy.

Randy is like get it Jamie

The best lyric for alabama people ever.

Amen!

I am from Manhattan. I don't understand how you can lose your soul in NYC. Home is where you're born, I guess.

@@LeCanalBarbaraAnne I think he’s saying his good ol boyness had gotten diluted with his travels BUT he is still basically Southern born and Southern bred.

“I’m in the heart of Dixie and Dixie’s in the heart of me” If you DON’T understand it, I have no ill will towards you. But because I DO understand it, don’t

but because I DO understand it, don’t climb on my back and accuse me of any ill will. That’s all I have to say :)))

Awesome story! I grew up on Alabama too! Great stuff!

It's JAMEY

No thanks Alabama's songs are great but I don't think I will ever want to move to Alabama. Sorry too many alligators humidity mosquitoes and no jobs

OMG, THAT SONG JUST HAD ME TORE UP. IM BAWLING my eyes out. Wow that doesn't just happen!

Robert Schultz come to Huntsville. We have infinite jobs and the alligators don’t stray that far up here

Ain't nothin like the south🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@robertschultz9802 Just come on up somewhere high on Lookout Mountain and you'l not see a single alligator, I guarantee. And you'll love it. #MyHomesInAlabama

Me to! This is country music. I miss it...

Me too

Same here buddy the new generation don't no real music..so glad I was in this time 👍👍

And thanks to the Irish and Scots we have American country music.

I believe we were influenced in music by ya'll. Bluegrass, it sounds, had its roots in Ireland. Our instruments are the same, and ya didn't play the 'violin' ; ya played the 'fiddle'!! In America, we were and are a melting pot (I wish we didn't have so many illegal aliens crashing our border); ya'll are more purists in your music bc you had Irish and no other influences. Sadly today you are also getting illegals crashing your border. It would be one thing if they shared our patriotism, but they have no idea of the love we have for our countries and how much our culture and history means to us; they could care less. They just want free stuff and a chance to bring the rest of their families over here so they could invade us with sheer numbers and, of coiurse, vote, vote vote. The Left are giving them drivers licenses (without passing a driving test, I'm sure) so they can register to vote. They know they can't continue to cheat the way they did the last two times, so illegals are their last way of cheating. Give them tsng about music, I don't know if you've heard these guys, but they're phenomenal. Here is the url: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adJ3nbZk3q3Tgok.html Tell me what you think after you've listened. Epecially 11:36 SONG Excellent blend of bluegrass and Grateful Dead, Byrds, etc. but still true to the music. ENJOY!! Really interested in what you think. Please, oh, please tell me what you thought of them. Such amazing gifts of music and still purity of bluegrass music, and they're so young!!

Exactly! When it's this good it's definitely soul music!!

Che bella canzone! Cosi emozionante... 😊😇😍😘🎶🎸🎶💘❤️💋💯💯🌅

Jamey is one of the last Mohicans as they say! Ain’t to many country artist out there that do traditional, real country and have that southern country voice, its got so much soul it’s ridiculous!!!! Im from SC born and raised and something about them South Georgia and Alabama dudes that can sing like that.

Preach On Tammy...Preach On!!!

Damn straight. There's only a few of us left.

Oh well, you have that in a small Dixie town.

@@danewalker6298 Great song I'm glad I found it.

He is awesome!! Jamie’s voice has that true depth ( as did Haggard)... speaking the true heart of this nation! Semper Fi!

joe leny ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!!!

itsnotthesamething. Lol its good

Me too

Hello beautiful

@@philipdonald7092 settle down you Joe Biden loving gun banning clown

Hello beautiful lady

I've had Co'cola and peanuts on a tailgate many a time. Also viennas and hoop cheese. Southern born and southern raised in East MS just 15 miles from the Bama line.

Yes! Better times!

So true... When I say I miss Tennessee I whole heartedly mean it, living in Florida is just a fake, no way no how is a good feeling.

Mr. Randy Owens is a stand up guy. Been to a couple of the June Jams when I lived in Pulaski, TN. Also seen them boys a few times in Michigan. The latest was in Tampa visiting my daughter, my parents came down and my daughter had us tickets in Tampa to see Alabama, with Charlie Daniels..... Sweet... I been following them since The Bowery. I was only 12 at the time, but always go there when I meet or bring folks down to Myrtle Beach. Mr. Vaugh, Tell your cousin we love him and hope he's doing well. Thank you

I can only imagine those family stories told at Christmas.

Haschal Vaughan love that old fellar

Absolutely

Haschal Vaughatgg ter um ok g Gub dia da q n

Randy Miller Absolutely. I am a Bama girl born and bred! My aunt and uncle lived in Spanish Fort so I have a ton of memories from that area! Absolutely gorgeous!

Fort Payne & Mentone forever. #SomewhereHighOnLookoutMountain

@@HEmathtchr Lila...I absolutely love Ft Payne. When my wife & I go to Gatlinburg Tn every Oct/Nov, Ft Payne is our half-way point from Mobile to Gatlinburg. We always go to the Wal-Mart there in Ft Payne before we head on to Gatlinburg & always eat at either Captain D's or The Western Sizzlin'. You're Blessed to be living in the Mountains...We've got Gulf Shores & I DON'T EVEN LIKE THE BEACH!!! I'll take those BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS any day of the week!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama

@@christibrown204 What part of Alabama are you now living in. I now live in Satsuma Alabama...been here for about 16 yrs. I grew up in Gordon Alabama...about 20 miles south of Dothan Alabama until 1981...I was 13 when we moved. Lived in Saraland Alabama from 1981-2005 & graduated from Satsuma High School in 1988. GO SATSUMA GATORS!!! 80s FOREVER!!! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

Pioneers

God that is real country music there. Im so glad I grew up in the 90s.

No matter where I layy head. Alabama. Yes 👍

But he isn't a member of the Grand Ole Opry, how sad is that?

Amen

@@stacyhutchens2373 The grand ole Opry is worthless piece of shit. They pick and kick out true country, and sure some legends are still apart of the opry, but the opry is a fucked up system

Agree with you funny thing is though that people back when these guys first started out were saying that they weren't country either.

it damn sure did here

Jamey’s better at being Alabama than Alabama is

Try watching his version of Two Outta Three Aint Bad. The hair will raise and the chills will require a blanket. Cheers!

I love the fact the lead singer of Alabama sat there in awe of Jamie Johnson. He finally stepped back and said wow. 😍

Absolutely. Did not see that coming, either, man. Wow. Had to be a heady performance for Jamey with the man standing right behind him. I believe he approved. Well done!!! Just awesome.

Nope. He's no Randy Owen. Not even close.

ROLL TIDE BROTHER!!!

Alabama is a special place. Think of it like Pennsylvania, just without the two great cities of that state....and with a lot more flavor overall.

@@richardtaylor6341 weird you mentioned Pennsylvania, that is where I am from originally

@1bls wow, I love little synchronisities like thst, whether they mean anything or if it's just happenstance. I hike alot and from Alabama originally. I have a good hiking buddy from the town of Chalfont, near Doylestown a little north of Philly. So I know the state decently well. What part are you originally from?

@@richardtaylor6341 I am from the great city of Pittsburgh

You nailed it! ❤

Edmundo Ongsiako, Jr. not yet

not yet

Maybe not yet but it's in the writing on the wall good ole country southern music that writes n sings those traditional songs they write n perform is what makes country legends so Jamey Johnson your devotion n southern country with that good ole traditional value it's just about when n where not if or maybe Jamey give them hell !

Not yet, but Randy Owen who is in the background on this video is.

@@johnjohnston4672 I don't know you but I'm gonna have to disagree with you my friend. The man is to country music what skynyrd is to southern rock. A living legend..

Me too

You just made me realize how old I am. I saw Alabama as the opening act for Ronnie Milsap in 1980. I did basic at McClellan on the fall of 1981.

lbh57 Glad Jamey is from Montgomery,where my son works

Ibh57 What part of Alabama are you from? I was raised in Gordon Alabama...about 20 miles south of Dothan Alabama on hwy 84. I now live in Satsuma Alabama...about 20 miles north of Mobile Alabama off of I-65

lbh57 I am from Decatur,15 minute from Huntsville,ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@randymiller3949 I am from Greensboro. Little town about 35 miles S of Tuscaloosa.. Roll Tide!

@@jennyhagemann9691 Jamey and Chris Stapleton are two of the only reasons I still listen to Country music.

Amen Brother

Ron Piasta me2 their songs from 1981 thru was if their last did latest album hits in2012?

Grew up on em in Arkansas and southeast Missouri. My whole family’s favorite band. Agree with your statement 100% brother. Special music to me

I grew up on them here in Mobile Alabama. Southern Alabama Pride!!!

Don't forget Shenandoah!

Jamey Johnson refuses to bow to the Nashville beauacracy, he does his music, his way, Kip Moore is the same, me, I am not a fan of Country Music, was raised on all types of music, stuck with heavy metal, Jamey Jognson is a TRUE musician!

Completely agree, new county music is dead, need radio stations playing outlaw/underground REAL country music.

They've been doing it for years. The greatest artists ever, like Ricky Van Shelton. had their "moments in the sun" then totally disappear. Sad state when it's money, not talent, that rules Nashville.

Ask Bocephus, he dropped Nashville as they dised his father and his music! Also Shooter Jennings, I think Nashville has got away from real country music!

@@nicpipkin3445 yep. He won’t do bro country or tractor rap so they won’t have anything to do with him.

Very good

Ain't it a shame? Neighbors on lookout compete?

You damn right
