The new one reminds me of Mickey Gilly to some extent.

80's country style.

The old one is Gene Watson style


I actually like the first version better.

You could do a remake of it in that style with new rendered tracks, envelopes and rocking drums and it would really sound good. let the solo feature the guitar with fills on steel.... that would be a cool version.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
