The Highwaymen - There Ain`t No Good Chain Gang

Best comment on youtube!!!

thank god, some people understand what country is supposed to be

Yeah; it's funny ain't it? I was at a jobsite the other day and a bunch of guys had the radio tuned in to 93.7 Vancouver,BC.(I live just south of the border in WA) and I could not believe how shitty all the country voices were. It sounded like a cross between Michael Jackson and Britney combined together in a punk rock combo. I sorely regret not seeing Johnny and Waylon before they passed on, but I have bought every live DVD of either of them that I could get my hands on.

Thats the darn truth!

Please, only one "t" in ain't! -but otherwise, great song, thanks for posting!

So true!! This is the real country music!!

Thanks, I cant help but get angry when i think about what the record companies have done to country music over the years. If they want to play the music that they're playing, thats fine, but dont call it country just because you put on a cowboy hat while you play it, ya know. Anyways thanks for the compliment.

in reference to glocknut17

thats one of the best comments ive ever seen or agreed with ever posted

I saw them at the Patriot Center GMU in 1995. There were a lot of empty seats but it was an outstanding show. I will never forget the harmonica duet Johnny Cash did with Mickey Raphael with Orange Blossom Special, and how Waylon's voice stood out on Desperados Waiting For a Train. I also won't forget how the crowd cheered when Johnny sang "But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die"

You got your turkey didn't ya

Johnny and Waylon could stand on stage with thier guitars and read the phone book, and it would still be better than anything on todays so-called "country" radio.

Did these guys ever record this one? Which album?

Absolutely brilliant. The light of these 2 will burn on forever!

haha- that's what I say on every song every time I watch! don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi... and Papa's wishin' Mama'd stay in the kitchen... oh man, this one makes me laugh
