Gotta love this guy, that's one man and one voice that will never be replaced

[HerbWalker]

I opened for him here in El Paso once. What a great singer, writer and showman! I feel in love with his music while stationed over in Germany where my own band played then. 1980-1983
RIP ETC!

Earl Thomas Conley was a great singer.❤😂🎉😅

[ikeharris]

We lost a good man, saw him twice, wish we could have him

[lhart]

Nope. I'm sticking with good old Earl Thomas Conley's version. This man has more class and talent than any new music I've heard.

[Charlotte-njws]

There will Never be another ETC, or anyone that can match up

Love the hell out of this song for years, first I ever heard Earl sing it, never knew he wrote it .Such a befitting song for such a great singer, so far this is the best rendition of it I have heard he really does this song some serious justice, I loved it. RIP

I'm from East Tn. I 1st heard this song when I came home on leave from Germany. Fell in love and got it so I could take it back to Europe with me. It meant so much to me to dream of those Smoky Mtn memories. What a meaningful song.

[janewellington]

This is a great song the mountains of east tenn are beautiful if you haven't been you need to go I love this song and this voice

[bacsi]

Damn I did know he wrote this great song. Have always love Mel's version as well as this. My family came thru East Tenn. In 1837 and settled in Big Sandy. Pure Appalachian folks.

I remember him playing in my town in Canada in the 80’s. I can’t recall who he opened for so that’s an indication his show was more memorable.
I was very impressed by Earl Thomas. He almost looked frightened, almost is the key word since he really wasn’t he just has that appearance, shy, timid and he did a solo acoustic set that was very much flawless. He did all of his songs and the ones on the album with heavy instrumentation sounded great with him doing them solo. Many songwriters don’t or can’t perform well in front of an audience. Earl was broadening his horizons and I think he slowly started to embrace the limelight.
Eddy Raven was songwriter that never had to work again after so many of his songs were hits by others. He loved. performing and he had an on stage persona very much unlike Earls. All a guy needs is one song he wrote to be a hit by one of the headliners and you’re good for life.
