Listen to the record of this song. Grorge Jones comed out and sings with Barnara. You need to see Barbara as a teen playing the steel pedal guitar. It's a b & w clip. I think its from a rodeo. Loved watching "The Barbara Mandrell Show" with her sisters.

Barbara is the ultimate entertainer. She performed with her sisters Louise and Irlene, and they had a variety show on TV that ran from 1980-1982. I saw Barbara in concert back in the 80s and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

Barbara has been in country music since she was a young girl playing the steel guitar. So even though she was still young in this video. She was still around longer then a lot of people that where criticizing her at the time for not being "Country". That is why this song fits her perfectly!

This was written as a response to all the people that started acting like they were "{country" after the movie Urban Cowboy came out a year earlier. This song fit me as I grew up wearing cowboy boots (or boot moccasins I'd made as a senior in high school in the late 70's), western and flannel shirts, and didn't like bell bottoms, but preferred straight leg jeans. Wore an old beat up cowboy hat when I was in the outdoors. Still dress that way 45 years later, except the hat is in decent shape 🙂 Still fish, hunt, backpack, and garden too.

Ah, you should’ve listened to the radio version. She had George Jones singing with her in that. As for R&B…I think country music, at least the old stuff, is more like R&B than the new stuff they play. So yeah, I can see artists making that transition. Both country and R&B are mostly commercially pop music these days, so crossing over isn’t necessarily about making more money so much as it might be about finding something a bit more authentic. That I can understand-unless they’re just trying to imitate modern country acts that aren’t really country anyway, then it’s just more of the same. I don’t even see that as a new direction for any R&B artist if they do it that way.

When this song was originally recorded Barbara had George Jones singing on the song with her. In the past he had a reputation for not showing up or showing up drunk so when they did the show they didn't have him on there. I remember watching a show on TV when George came on to sing with her and he was drunk so I suppose after that she didn't ask him anymore. He finally got his act together but back then he was a mess. There was something on local news about him at least once a week. I live down the road from Nashville and George was as loved as they get. People were so glad when he stopped drinking.

I think the movie “Urban Cowboy” may have been a part of getting more people interested in country music. Country music in the 80’s and 90’s was some of the best. I like to listen to Prime Country on SiriusXM. They play music from the 80’s and 90’s. “Urban Cowboy” had a great soundtrack and was a good movie starring John Travolta. I saw Barbara Mandrell in concert with Lee Greenwood in the early 80’s. She was great.

4:51 That's interesting.. I don't know much about R&B, and I didn't know they were trying to break into the country music scene. I haven't been keeping up with modern "country" music. But I have been witnessing other type of artists seemingly trying to break into the country music scene over the years. Like Jelly Roll, and apparently even Struggle Jennings and Adam Calhoun. Jelly is from Nashville, and Struggle is Waylon's grandson, so they country in some senses, but they were all originally rappers. Including Upchurch. It's interesting seeing them go the singing route after all these years. I loved their rap songs, but I don't really like their singing songs, personally. It's also hard for me to recognize most of the songs I heard from them as country music as well. I don't know if it's because they're mixing beats in with the music, or something else.. I think it's multi-faceted, but I haven't been able to put into words why I don't like it. It kinda seems like people are mixing sounds up from different genres, in which you can't clearly put a genre label, such as country, on it.. Would all of the different genre sounds coming together cause a lot of music to become homogenized? Some say modern country sounds basically like pop. I think some up-and-coming artists of today listen to and are influenced by multiple genres, so that might result in multiple genres getting mixed into their sound. How do you figure out what genre label to put on that?. Is it just homogenized American music? I'm not opposed to people mixing things together, but I also think it's important to have different genres and clear standards for classifying music as being of a particular genre. Genres need to have a clear individual identity to be considered a genre.. Idk. My thoughts about it are all over the place.

I used to do the peanuts in Pepsi/Coke when I was a kid in the early 2000's. I'm from Oklahoma.. My dad told me about it, and did it himself, when we were going fishing for crappie.. We used the Planters Flaming Hot peanuts, and it was sooo good. I would imagine plain peanuts would pale in comparison.. I am curious if you ever actually ended up trying it though.

I understand that music changes, but new country is nothing like old country. I blame it on early 90’s. Garth brooks and shania twain made the charts in country and pop music. Then all genres invaded country. I know it evolves. I love the outlaw era. There are still outlaw singers, but they don’t play it on the radio. I think it’s sad.

Yeah, Garth and Shania probably helped contribute to that. I can't count the number of times I've heard non-country people say they love Garth Brooks when asked if they listen to country.
