ABOUT THE SONG:
It astonishes me that I missed out on this song all of my years until 2017. At Christmas time that year, Dad and I were jamming before I left home again, and he got some of his old song books out so we could think of some he hadn’t done in a long time. When he lit into this one I thought it was genius. This project was just in the works, and I emailed Cal Smith’s original version of it to Doug Cox that same night. We agreed immediately that this song would definitely be on the album. I love how I’m still discovering classics that I haven’t heard that are this strong, and I hope that will be true for a long time to come. Maybe someone somewhere will hear a song on this record that prompts them to look up the original and feel that same way.
