This was one of my mother's favorite songs but it's kinda obscure so I hope someone recognizes it. I added a C6th part to the arrangement and did some changing of keys to mix it up a bit. The drums are EZDrummer Nashville Expansion pack with a few tweaks.

Leon, not sure I have ever heard Wynn's version but I played this from my memory of Kitty Well's singing it.

Jack, guess I am on a waltz kick. I just did the Tennessee Waltz after this one and used my Fender Steel King with the Black Widow speaker for both.

Great job like everything Greg does. The Derailers and an older Buck Owens recorded this a few years before Buck Left us. The words are about as sad as He Stopped Loving Her Today.

George did a duet of that song, and the steel part is one of the best I ever heard for touch and tone. Sure wish I knew who picked it and what kind of guitar he was playing...

The George Jones version is probably the duet he did with Margie Singleton on an album called "Duets Country Style". It was also released on the "40 Years Of Duets" album available on Amazon.com for as low as $3.92!!!!!!

Tom, the steel player may be Sonny Curts although his web site said he started with George in 1964 and this song was recorded for Mercury and produced by Shelby Singleton in 1961.

Thanks Greg. You capture the flavor of that recording nicely. If it is that old -- 1961 -- I guess the guitar is some sort of Bud.

I love the sound of the picks on the strings on that particular recording, plus the guitar has such a "presence" tone. Must have been an old 4X10 Bassman with some outboard reverb.

Anyone have any ideas?

Darrell McCall does a beautiful version of the song. It's in his box set and also on his cd "The Real Darrell McCall".

Very Happy Whoa! Rolling Eyes

Greg : you realy do the song justice; mighty fine playing; what kind of steel are you using?
Mac; I have that very album by Wynn Stewart; during the B. Owens Era; Wynn was my idol, when it came to good Country Music, he was number one in my book; naturally it didn't hurt to have our man, mooney backing him.. One of my all time favorites of the Waltzs..Greg ; I even loved your little short portion on the C- 6th neck.Bernie Rolling Eyes Laughing Whoa! Whoa!
