This video (and his appearance at the CMA awards show when he did Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain) made a believer of me.
I've seen him in person a few times, combining that with this particular video is what made me find that word - mesmerizing-
full disclosure: I figured it out years ago, (mesmerizing), but it just came back to me recently- mesmerizing- he does that to an audience.
People are captivated by his style and stage presence, but, I think his stage presence is just an extension of who he is as a person.
I read his book, Me and Sister Bobbi, which validates that opinion- he is the real deal. This particular video also gives Bobbi an opportunity to shine on the piano- as well as the harmonica player, Mickey Raphael-
The title, "I have to post this" is because I'm feeling it-
I don't normally put a lot of stock in celebrity-and I'm also a believer in intellect over emotion, but, Willie is the epitome of the Wandering Minstrel- there are others whose music (and performances) I enjoy, and there are other songs that I feel- but, this one has climbed near the top of my favorites list
