Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In

Never knew of this version until hearing it in the closing sequence to an episode to True Detective, and then to discover that this singer is the original writer of the song. This is my favorite version now.

Years ago in the 1980s I was privileged to open for Mickey Newbury. He was the best solo performer I had ever seen. A master songwriter and performer.

That whistling. That guitar. That voice. Such genius and artistry. By far the best recording I have ever heard of his masterpiece.

Mickey Newbury blows my mind every time I watch this. Gives me chills, makes me want to smile and cry at the same time. Simply awesome

Pure soul and genius

Amazing performance and a phenomenal song - one of Newbury's finest! That's Jack Williams on guitar.

True detective like always best taste in music

This might be the most hauntingly beautiful song ive ever heard

Excellent song! Appears at the end of the first episode from "True Detective" Season 3...👍👍

Mickey Newbury you are in my heart, thanks sir

Can't belive I missed out on this until now... Been somewhat obsessed with this song since the first time watching Big Lebowski and wasn't that long ago since my last search for covers of it... Superb version!

just wow...holy cow. thank you for posting.

An amazingly powerful performance.

Hauntingly beautiful.

I needed this...RIP Mickey!

Mickey wrote it but nothing tops The First Edition Recording with Kenny Rogers ( Lead Vocal & Bass Guitar) Terry Williams ( Vocals & Lead Guitar) Thelma Comacho(Vocals & Tambourine) Mike Settle ( Vocals & Rhythm Guitar) Mickey Jones ( Drums) Mickey Newberry was a great songwriter who was admired by many of his peers but mostly Country Artists especially Waylon Jennings along with songwriter & producer Chips Moman & Bobby Emmons who gave the song Luckenbach Texas ( Basics Of Love) to Waylon . Newberry's name is mentioned in the verse along with Hank Williams & Fred Rose ( Songwriter of Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain) " Between Hank William's Pain Songs & Newberry's Train Songs & Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain, Out in Luckenbach Texas ain't nobody feeling no pain. Willie Nelson comes in on the final verse. This Song was the Start of The so called Country Outlaw Era. Newberry's Best was Immortalized by Elvis Presley's rendition of AMERICAN TRILOGY. Getting back to Just Dropped In ( To See What Condition My Condition Was In) It is Glen Cambell who plays the Psychedelic Intro & Outro. P

the Triad recording of Condition blows me away. But to see him perform it this way. incredible. thank you

I expect a million views after S03 of TrueDetective

Masterpiece. It became my favorite after True Detective

Didn't think I would like this version, but this performer is top of the line. Much better than Tom Jones' version or Willie Nelson's version. What a great artist!
