I end up back to artists like these and I'm always thinking, "Where'd you go?! Come back!!" I love this version. What a voice!

HE IS A GUITAR PICKING PHENOM!!! NASHVILLE MISSED ON THIS CAT!!!! HE'S BETTER THAN 100 SO CALLED STARS TODAY!!!!

I was born and raised in Staunton Va. I grew up listening and watching the Statler Brothers and was even around them a few times. Eric done a excellent job with this song. Wish he would do more.

Flowers On The Wall is one of my all times favorite songs, decided to listen to this preparing to be unimpressed, but I LOVE it

I do not care for covers much but this dude rocks this fine catchy tune. Love it Eric

Eric never got the chance or recognition.... He has one helluva voice....

I learned about this version filling out a quiz. I'm 64 and still love this song. So I thought I'd listen to it. They do the song justice. I'm going to listen to more from this guy but I agree with everyone it's a shame he wasn't a big success. Reminds me of the Stray Cats which we don't have anymore. I'm glad this got over 2 million views.

I can’t help myself, I just keep coming back to watch this great artist. 👍👍👍

Saw Eric 25 years ago in Tootsies and then a year later. A dynamaic and talented performer/composer. How on earth he didn't make it big I'll never know. He played in London and Country Music People gave him a great write up. When I see some of the muppets today, I just shake my head.

Those in charge of the entertainment business will Never give this guy a chance. This is an old classic country song. And done very well. It is Not the propaganda crap we hear today.

WTF! This is the absolute best remake of any song I've heard of in my 55 years on this planet...why can't I share it?!

Fantastic version of this classic. I love it !!!

I've listened to this song 20 times today, now don't tell me I've nothing to do

I love Eric's version A LOT, always have. He is soooooo handsome. Why did he not become a country superstar? He definitely should have.

he totally honored the original with this version. I wish he had found more success. I was and am a fan

Very good with a rockabilly spin. It's hard to beat the Statler Brothers, but this is very close!

My late mom heard this on the radio and loved it! She always felt like the Statler Brothers version was a bit too "chipper" for someone who's slowly losing their mind. She said that, with the drums and Eric's deeper darker voice, the song becomes more dangerous-sounding, like he's about to crack and start killing people a la "Falling Down". (If you haven't seen that movie, watch it. It's good)

As a kid I was enamored of "Flowers on the Wall". I couldn't find a decent rendition of it on KZfaq, but I found this excellent cover!

Loved this cover of the old Statler Brothers tune the first time I heard it. Not a big fan of remakes but this one rocks!!

MOST EXCELLENT COVER!! BRAVO!!!!

That was extremely well done. For as song that old it's incredibly catchy!!!

I prefer this version over the original one

I was seven years old when this song came out, and I thought this was the coolest sounding song i ever heard! I decided to check out his album a few years back, and it was just as groovybsnd brilliant!! It should have been a career making album for Eric! Nashville, you missed the boat with this cat!

Rockabilly at its finest! 🥰

I was totally impressed when this came out. He did such a great job with this cover. I was expecting him to be the next big thing. I was so sad that he didn't get to continue in the industry.

Eric, you knocked it out of the park with that performance! Great!

VERY impressive!!! I was skeptical, completely won over!

I am old enough to remember this song hit the AM airwaves.I just love the guitars with all that twang and palm muting.Great video loved it.

Great version of an awesome song that I often use to explain my need for solitude to my friends who would have all the reason in the world not to have me in their reality.

He really does this song justice...just awesome!

you nailed it?. what a great remake of one of my most loved songs from my youth. I'm 54. Thank you for sharing such talent with us

Love this version He nailed it

Man i forgot how much I love this version 🤟🏼

Absolutely love the original, this is my new favorite version of it.

This song never gets old.

Excellent version. Beautifully done

Love this version.... I saw this guy live once .. totally random thing in Boise Idaho 20 years ago.... very impressive stage personality... great dynamics!!!

I'm okay with someone taking a song and making it their own. I believe he accomplished that with this version. I think the statler brothers approve.

Great rendition...a fine guitarist Eric.

I love the retro-rocker vibe Eric Heatherly had. I just wish everyone else shared my same opinion.

Im still a BIG FAN of this guy ! Hope he is doing amazing and making kickass music ! Love ya Mr. Eric !

...DON'T TOUCH THE SONG!! It's the best rendition I've ever heard. It NEVER WAS a rock and roll song!! Absolutely fabulous!!

Never heard of this performer but he does a great cover of the Statler Brothers' classic. Great song for any occasion. Nicely done, Sir.

This is great!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 I was completely unaware of this guy, but now I’ve got to hear his other work 👍

This version totally does the original version justice. Well done !!!

written by the late great Lew DeWitt, tenor with the Statler Brothers. he passed away in 1990 from Chron's Disease at the age of 52. what a great legacy. Eric gave the song great new life, i love this version. RIP Lew

He should be playing all over the country. Great performance

Best cover of that song , genius

Love the sound and look of these guitars, and the instrumentation and the drumming.

This is my first time sitting down and listening to this version and I love it. It sounds incredible!

This song came out when I was 22. And it HIT me so hard back then. I adore this song. To me, it's about how life was for real introverts, before online gaming and social media. Finding ways to entertain ourselves because we really did NOT want to be out there.

This is the version I grew up with and it will suddenly pop into my head

Great performance of one of my favorite all time songs. He should be a big star! Crazy music industry. 😔

I LOVE THE SEATBELT STRAP.........VERY ORIGINAL..

The guitar, bass and drum tones in this are outstanding. Vocals on point too - great cover.

He did great job with this song

Great rendition!!

It's been 17 years since I last heard this song and though I couldn't remember the name at first, all I had to do was sing the words and it all came flooding back. As long as its been, I never forgot the words....I've really missed this song.

Heard this today on the radio during a throwback Thursday, and the minute the chorus hit it was like BAM! Face full of nostalgia. And I find it kind of funny that the older I get, the more I learn that songs I loved as a kid were covers.

❤❤❤❤AND HES EASY ON THE EYES 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

Eric hit #6 in Billboard, 8-27-00. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great week!

Upright Base is something to behold

this song brings back memories of being just a little guy in the back of the car with my mom and aunt running errands or whatever it was. so carefree way back then. damn tings have changed so much from then. sometimes i wish i could have it all back just one more time! good times!!! good song still!!!

Very good.

I love both versions. I used to sing this in karoke, so it has a special place in my heart. Regardless of which version you prefer, you have to admit those drums rock!

good version and respectful of origanal

This is so much like my dad... He has multiple sclerosis and I always worry about him, but he showed me this song and it makes me so relieved... He says it's exactly how he feels.

Excellent 👌 i've put it on my phone ring)))

I love Eric's take of this song...he made it his own. Love the imagery and style of the video, plus, Eric is so good looking. He had it all... talent, looks and potential, but haven't really heard anything about him since this....Wonder what he is doing now?!?!!!

randomly searched for this song when I ran across this one... so glad I did! this is by far my favorite version!

I like this version of it. Used to play on the country stations all the tine

Respect..it really surprised and impressed. Great artist

I never cared much for covers. It always seemed to me a lazy way of trying to capture some fame rather than writing your own stuff or doing an original from a hungry songwriter. But it's hard to take umbrage with this one. Great singing, playing, and I like his phrasing. It does the original full justice.

He did an absolutely fantastic job with this remake! GOOD JOB!

Happy 52nd Birthday Eric Lafon Heatherly!(Born February 21, 1970)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂👍👏🙌

I had just found the original Statler Brothers concert footage so I could hear this song again after ages …. That led me to this cover which I was unaware of. Good Job.

All i can say is dang..eric he really nailed this song., I've been a fan of the original song but his cover of it so Good

the first time i heard this song i was working in a group home full of ppl with mental disorders... it fit perfectly! love the way he does this song!

Awesome Version 👌 👏 👍

Holy smokes, havent heard this since I was a kid like 15 years ago and I'm 24 years old now. Thanks pulp fiction for reminding me.

Love you Eric ! Keep rocking out bubba !

"I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience I guess If I was walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none While you 'n' your friends are worried about me I'm havin' lots of fun Countin' flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine You can always find me here, I'm havin' quite a time Countin' flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete So I must go back to my room and make my day complete Countin' flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do Don't tell me I've nothin' to do" Songwriters: Lewis Dewitt Flowers on the Wall lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc

Great cover

Well done.

Love this version!

He should have come out with more amazing songs he was a wonderful singer

I remember that big pants style😂 Great rendition Eric! And salute to the Statler Bros!

Great cover of this wonderful song. Well done, Eric!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Who's here in 2020, sitting at home because of COVID-19? Somehow, this song seems appropriate right now...LOL Take care, everyone. Stay inside and be smart. This too shall pass.

This is my introvert theme song.

This is me .....counting flowers again....😉GREAT SONG❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

i used to listen to this song ALL the time wen i was five it brings back so memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This dude, has more talent in his pinky than most of the so called “artist” that made it big! Amazing guitarist, song writer … Musician!! I love watching Eric’s showmanship and Guitar chops!! AMAZING!! He now sings with his Lovely wife As “The Record Store Troubadours”!!!

As a kid I always loved this song and I never understood why, I never knew this was a cover,

best updated version I ever herd

Awesome! I am an original Stadlerversion fan from age 12 and now at 58 I am an Eric Heathlery version fan! Fabulous remake with great guitar and vocals! Love love it!! Keep rocking it !

Written by Lew Dewitt. It was first performed by The Statler Brothers, and was released as their debut single in September of 1965. The song became popularity in January of 1966, spending four weeks at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 1966, the song won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary (R&R) Performance - Group (Vocal or Instrument). In 1967, Nancy Sinatra covered the song for her album "Boots" (1967). In 1975, The Statler Brothers rerecorded the song for their first Greatest Hits album; "The Best of the Statler Brothers". The song was featured as the soundtrack to the 1994 film "Pulp Fiction". In 2000, Eric Heatherly covered the song for his debut album "Swimming in Champagne" (2000), also his debut single. Heatherly's rendition reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and No. 50 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The rendition was made into the song's music video, which was directed by Gerry Wenner.🙂

@shorebird1949 I never knew the statler bros did this one, originally. I remember growing up on late '80s through the 90's and early 2000s country music and this song was often played. I just listened to the original, and I agree with you that this song really does do it justice.

I've been trying to remember the name of this song for years. I'll hum it to myself and sing a couple lines every now and then. Glad i finally found it again

wow i love it Eric!
