Written and performed by Billy Joel as a rock and roll tune in 1989, Garth performed it 2 years later on his 1991 album, " Ropin' the Wind" giving it a country twist. After receiving Billy's CD in the mail through a record club, Garth fell in love with this beautiful love song. It was Garth's 7th Number 1 hit and went to Number 1 in Canada and the US. Garth's raw vocals and the beautiful instrumentation gave a great country authenticity to Billy's song. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Jami. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Even more fascinating is that Billy Joel wrote it with Jimi Hendrix in mind.

Here in Oklahoma, our home grown boy, Garth Brooks can do no wrong. He is not only an incredible musician, & songwriter, he is an incredible man! Garth love covering music he grew up with and he has no shame in keeping it alive! We love Garth, Reba, Blake Shelton, Vince Gill and so many other great country music icons that are all born in Oklahoma! Thank you Harri, you have such a giving and beautiful heart!💜 Thank you!

I've seen Garth twice, too. I saw him once at Country Thunder around 1991 or '92. A storm was coming in as he started singing The Thunder Rolls. Right when he got to "the thunder rolls and the lightning strikes," there was a LOUD clap of thunder. It was great.

just gotta say..... i was finally able to take my daughter to see billy joel. she was jazzed that she would perhaps finally get to hear piano man live. anywho, somewhere in his set he said, "i'm gonna do a song now that i wrote and even put on an album, but y'all hated it.... so i gave it to a good friend of mine, Mr. Garth Brooks. y'all loved it and sent him to #1." paraphrasing..... "what the fuck, are y'all thinkin"..... true story.

Tricia Yearwood, an amazing talent in her own right, is singing backup. She and Garth have been married for many years. My husband, Tom Bombardier started dating in 1999. I used to sing this to him! My feelings about this song and my hubby have only gotten stronger!!!

You really should hear Garth sing it. He has a live performance on KZitem you can watch of him performing Shameless. Most Garth songs on KZitem are covers unless it's a video of him live. 😊

Billy was thinking of Hendrix when he wrote this, so his version is very rock and the guitar solo is amazing.

Billy did some bluegrass in his early days. Check out "Travelin Prayer" where he outduels a banjo.
