Back in the 70’s, when Lacy J. Dalton was first starting out, she was often referred to as, “The Country Janis Joplin, ” for her hip, bluesy singing style. Lacy is so versatile, she doesn’t easily fit into any one musical genre, but Country music is lucky to have her. She was then, and STILL is, one of the FINEST singers in the entire music business...period!

[leskruger]

She has that distinctive gravely voice! A wonderful artist.

Watching this & seeing those that have left us since this was recorded, makes you realize how bad country music has gotten. We need more of ALL these COUNTRY GREATS back on radio today!! Thank goodness we have a CLASSIC COUNTRY station here to listen to.

[gregdavis]

Just a stellar performance from Lacy J! I think everyone in that room that afternoon could relate to the words of this song.

[Forevertrue]

Righteous fellow babies. Is this a great country or what? Thank you Lacy. And bless all those seated, I mean it.

[Oumpah-Pah]

I had such a crush on Lacy, she is still a Hottie and her voice is still awesome!

[AtkinsonDavidC]

As someone who grew up in Nashville I saw many people who this song is about.

[StBernardAcres]

I saw her at Gilleys in 1985. I'm still in love with her.

[tiny-hjxo]

Always loved Lacy J Dalton's voice and music

[watchdogu.s.a.]

Wow... having spent a short time in the music business and having grown up listening to most of the people in that room I get chills and emotional listening to this song -- always have -- and watching Lacy J. Dalton (owner of one of the very best country songs ever!) moving around amongst her peers.
Gosh, what a room full of country music history: Gene Watson, Jim Ed Brown, Ed Bruce, MIckey Gilley, Johnny Lee, Lynn Anderson, Rodney Crowell, Little Jimmy Dickens, T. Graham Brown (owner of one of the greatest country songs ever written, in my opinion (Wine into Water)), Janie Fricke, Jan Howard, Larry Gatlin, Shelly West, David Frizzell, a few others who I recognized but can't recall without going back through the video and a few who I didn't recognize.

[sheryljones]

Lacy sang that hit song of her's so well. I miss her.

[austinclarke]

Sad a lot those setting there have passed away since this. Great song by Lacy.

Look at The Sheriff in the background air strumming. Nashville’s musician’s musician.

Lacy J Dalton was and is a crossover from way back with this song. Back when I first heard it I thought this was a rock song, a Steve Taylor, Carroll King genre....from my 60's era type of preferences. She wasn't country or so I thought.
