Hi Jelle!

Yeah, that's a great song, written by Lefty Frizzell and Sanger D. ("Whitey") Shafer. Your version sounds great, but I don't know who the singer is...?

Lefty of course recorded it, I also have versions by Keith Whitley, Merle Haggard and Dick Curless.

A beautiful ballad, that's for sure!

Kind Regards, Walter

"Whitey" wrote another verse for the Kieth Whitley recording which it needed. Mike Johnson nailed a great solo on the Singletary cut and Paul Franklin set a standard on Kieths cut.Lefty had the original and the Hag made us all do the song.I have never heard the Dick Curless recorded version But he did do it with us "Live" at Mountain Park with that super great deep baritone voice. One of those favorite songs that will last and eventually be re-recorded.

Jelle, sounds like a young Hag, but I have the one that he recorded last and this is not it. I believe the favorite of mine would have to be Gene Watson's version, with Buddy on steel and produced by Ray Pennington. Fabulous in any case. Thanks for sharing.

Jelle....I like that version too. Sounds like Emmons playing, but can't seem to place the singer. Whoever he is...he can sing!

Could it be Lefty's youngest brother? (Not David). Great version whom ever it is.

The singer sounds a lot like Kenny Serrat??
Probably "The Big E" on steel.

I've worked several times with Alan Frizzell (Lefty and David's younger brother) and he nails the song.

I don't know the steeler, or the KILLER singer, but this is a great cut! And I think Mike Johnson'd turnaround on the Singletary cut will go down as one of the all time best recorded steel solos---up there with the "Nightlife" intro, or "Farewell Party"(Lloyd, of course).

My kind of Country, all great playing and singing, but Mike Johnson's steel lick gets my vote on this one.

I have 9 versions of this song including most of those listed above as well as Mark Chestnutt, Trace Adkins, Kenny Seratt and Benny Berry.

American boy who did most all of his recording in Ireland. Couldn't make it in the States for some reason.

The guy that had the biggest hit with it was Gene Watson. I am not sure but i think Lloyd Green played steel ...............

I like Daryle Singletary's version too. I love everything on that CD. Traditional tunes (mostly) with state-of-the-art recording. The way Mike Johnson goes from low to high and back down and then when you think it's over he flows down some more. That is the stuff (to me).
