I always liked this song this is my first time hearing this version and it is great.Very powerful and moving performance Waylon always painted a picture with his songs he was a true master of his art Waylon will live on forever as the legend that he no doubt is.Thx for all of your wonderful post and information.
Too bad my appreciation for Waylon and Johnny manifested itself near the end of their lives, I missed so much when they were still with us in this world. Their wisdom and music is with me everyday.
When ya listen to the old version from Honky Tonk Heros, and this version made much later in his life... The differences are very profound, and thought provoking. The young rebellious Waylon on the cusp of starting the Outlaw revolution in Country & Western music, and the older Waylon, an Icon to the new generations of musicians and fans. Both versions sung with passion and feeling. It's the same man singing the same song, but the experience of his life and work is more pronounced is the latter
You really need to pay attention to Waylon's voice, this is not the older Waylon at all, the original on HTH was recorded in 1973, this version was recorded only two years later in 1975. Waylon sounds like his outlaw period here, not the older "FAMILY MAN" Waylon.
Well, the thing that makes every Waylon song special is that he put his heart, soul, mind, body and voice into it. Every word he ever sang came right from the heart. It takes a lot to BE every word you sing and say.
Love Waylon..may he RIP

I guess I thought this version was the real deal and the other one was the alternative. Waylon gave this version a more gentle interpretation.
