This always makes me cry. So many beautiful voices, a perfect song.

Hi Don. That was done for the 50th Anniversary of CMA awards show. Thanks for rating it. Recorded before the show. The one I can think of that was missing was Garth Brooks, which is hard to understand because Trisha Yearwood was in it. There were others missing also, Kathy Mattea for one. Great review. Appreciate it. Happy New Years to all.

The Country Music Association commissioned this song to honor 50 years of the CMA Awards. It was recorded over three days in Nashville during June 2016 with Shane McAnally as producer. The single was released on September 16, 2016. The song is a newly-recorded mashup of John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads," Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again" and Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You." Denver passed away in 1997, but Parton and Nelson are both featured on the track, along with 28 other artists from across generations of the country genre. They are: Alabama, Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Brooks & Dunn, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Brett Eldredge, Vince Gill, Faith Hill, Alan Jackson, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Martina McBride, Tim McGraw, Ronnie Milsap, Kacey Musgraves, Brad Paisley, Charley Pride, Rascal Flatts, Reba, Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton, George Strait, Randy Travis, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and Trisha Yearwood.

It's a nice video. But for celebrating 50 yrs of Country Music....where are all the older singers like Loretta Lynn, Brenda Lee, the Statler Brothers, Emmylou Harris, Bill Anderson, Tanya Tucker, Charly McClain, Sylvia, T. G. Sheppard, Donna Fargo, Connie Smith, the Gatlin Brothers, Gail Davies, Hank Jr., Jessi Colter, Barbara Mandrell & her sisters, Marie Osmond, Oak Ridge Boys & so many others??? I know they're not ALL dead at this time. Would of been nice to see more of them. I also think Ricky Scaggs, Marty Stuart, Patty Loveless, Kathy Mattea, Pam Tillis, Lorrie Morgan, The Whites, Bailey and the boys, Girls next Doors should of been included. They also could of put images of the greats who have passed away like Johnny & June, Tammy & George, Conway Twitty, Marty Robbins, Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline, Lynn Anderson,Hank Sr., Merle Haggard. Man, l could name so many more but l will stop.

Watching this video always leaves me with a big smile. An awesome video...And Nothing beats Dolly at the end..

There was another version of "I Will Always Love You," which is my personal favorite, the duet with Dolly and Vince Gill, which came out in the mid '90s.

Oh that's a super request Farm Daddy, what a great surprise. I remember it from the CMA show, but I'd never seen it since. Man does it ever work well, and it holds up over time too! Right about Kathy, I didn't see Patty Loveless, Pam Tillis, or Lorrie Morgan. Thanks so much Farm Daddy, and thanks Don for another great reaction. Also Happy Boxing Day to all Canadians out there!

Country roads, On the road again, I will always love you 3 of the greatest songs ever

When you said that most people associate "I will always love you" with Whitney Houston. You are probably right. However those of us raised up listening to country music know that Dolly owns that song. Don't get me wrong I love Whitney's rendition of that song as well, but Dolly does that song best in my opinion, because she wrote the song.

I read somewhere that once George Strait signed on others followed. There is a KZfaq video on the making of this video.

THAT was a 10 for me , Farm Daddy! Guess they couldn't use technology to put in the Classic/Traditional Country singers, but I have to watch it again (maybe twice...or three.) Thanks Don for your great reaction!

I have seen several reactions to this song and you are the one who got the most right. Most miss Lady A. I think it was done with green screen and they filmed them in 3 days.

Now you know how they got this done. When Dolly asks who's going to say no.

There's 3 songs mixed in. Don't forget Willie's on the road again.

Kicking myself for not thinking to request this one, but glad you got to experience it. My guess is that the video was put together using green screens for each of the artists and then building the background digitally around them (and merging the different green screen shots of different artists into that compilation at the end).

Such a great production.. I get quite emotional every time I watch it.

Reading comments and people asking why certain artists were absent from this video. I am not sure but I imagine it could have something to do with their record companies or just that they couldn't put everyone in. It's an awesome blending of 3 amazing songs.

I’d never seen this before. Great video! Thanks Don

I know this version, and the original song versions, and I have John Denver in my music collection. Take Me Home, Country Roads is a great song, which I remember from the 1970s, as is I Will Always Love You. So many great artists in this song medley. Thanks for sharing this reaction video. Cheers! ✌️

That was so great. Glad you did that reaction. Good one

As a young boy in Czech Republic I was growing up with many of these singers in 90s. Feeling like I was the only one listening country music and this masterpiece is always making me cry in my 40s... damn... I´m just missing Shania, Garth and The Chicks in this.

Beautiful song farm daddy. Love it. Thanks Don

Love you knew all the artists you did and especially giving props to Dolly!

Good stuff, Great reaction. Hey Don I like the shirt. Pretty cool.

I have never seen that video before but it is awesome, great job 👌

Hi Don. this is a special video for sure. you can watch the making of this in this video "Artists Of Then, Now & Forever Forever Country & The Making of Forever Country" There are conversations with some of the artists as well as the producer. it was done with a green screen.

Alabama's in there!

Hey Don if you liked this one you should definitely check out the one nitty gritty dirt band did with the song will the circle be unbroken. I’m sure you will really enjoy it

The answer to how they did it is answered in the video the making of now and forever country.

I wish Toby, Tracy Adkin, Travis Tritt, Clint Black and Garth would have been in it.

So much fun. One person I expected to see but didn't - the great Patty Loveless.

Lorreta wasnt in it but she may have just had her stroke in 2016.

There is a whole behind the scenes on it. I forgot how they did it.

You should listen to Marty Robbins, Pride and the Badge.

I so love this song. It's like the WE ARE THE WORLD of country music. Other than Garth Brooks they have pretty much every huge star of country music. What blows my mind as much as who is in this is the way they mixed these three hugely iconic songs so well that they actually sound like one song. Now your theory of holograms, I don't get since that isn't what a hologram is. Most of these artists weren't in the studio at the same time. Most came in show their part and then they edited all of the footage together and put them into the back grounds digitally. None of them were actually on site for their backgrounds. There is a making of this video on KZfaq if you want some background.

Little Big Town request as a Christmas gift for you haha

Would you be able to do a reaction to The Grass Is Blue by dolly parton, please

You should check out the live on the award show live Version. This was done for an anniversary of an award show, can't remember which one. They have a different take on it and it is really cool/amazing.

Here's the behind the scenes of how they made it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ocB5fbOj3Lqqpo0.html Artists in order of their appearance: Brad Paisley Keith Urban Tim McGraw Faith Hill Little Big Town Luke Bryan Miranda Lambert Randy Travis Blake Shelton George Strait Kacey Musgraves Eric Church Ronnie Milsap Charley Pride Dierks Bentley Trisha Yearwood Lady A Darius Rucker Martina McBride Jason Aldean Rascal Flatts Willie Nelson Brooks & Dunn Alabama Brett Eldredge Reba McEntire Alan Jackson Vince Gill Carrie Underwood Dolly Parton
