Hi All

With Don moving to somewhere where there may not be internet access,I thought I would post this
little tune we did a while back.

Don,I do hope you remember it,I play it quite often and I thought it fitting that
I post it here one more time,hope you don't mind.

The link does work,it's just a bit slow.

Thanks for listening.

Alan

I love it. Great guitar and vox. That kind of haunting Orbison sound just perfect for the song. Glad you shared.

Great assessment Josie, I too hear a bit of the Orbison touch on this tune.

Nice job guys!

Hi Guys

Thanks for the kind comments,I know Don would appreciate them.

Don,I checked up on when we did this and to my amazement it was 1995,I didn't
think it was so long ago but I think it has stood the test of time quite well.

Take care my friend and keep safe.

Best Wishes Always

Alan

Hi Don and Alan,

What a great song! I have never heard this one before and it was a real pleasure to hear it. I'm really glad you posted this song. It's excellent. Hard to believe that the mix is 15 years old. It still fits very comfortably on these forums.


You've got my standing ovation

the song tag says 2005 so alan may be wrong on the date.

josie, to be compared to roy orbison, even tangentially, is a great honor and thrill, thank you. elvis called roy 'the greatest male vocalist ever' and i agree.

Agreed,I think the date must be wrong but I guess it was a couple of
years ago.

Nice cover Alan. I like it well enough that I'm going to add your recording to my collection of others who have covered this old Hank Williams song.

Hank Williams senior

Faron Young had a pretty good version also.

Jerry Lee Lewis (Probably my favorite version)

Thanks...

Hi JBlatz

Many thanks for the kind comments,I have listened to all the versions
through the links you posted and I have to say, I like em all.

It's nice to know you think our version is good enough to stand alongside some
of the finest artists who have recorded this song,and we are priveledged
to be associated with them.
I know Don would agree.

Thanks again

Alan

Don,
I apologize for failing to include a congratulation for your quality vocal on this track. While reading this post yesterday, I was also babysitting a young'un and sometimes the two do not mix very well. In this case I overlooked the fact that you sang the tune. Again I apologize. By the way, I think you also have a Rodney Crowell type of smoothness in your voice. Give a listen to one of his old tunes like "Stars on the Water" to hear that similarity of smoothness.

Wow! I almost missed this one. That's a great song. I remember when Hank Williams came out with that one. I was a little dude back then. I used to love to listen to his stuff on the radio.

I agree with you Don. Anything with Alan accompanying is going to be top floor in my book. Good job Mates.
