That is the great Vance Terry on steel, recorded in January of 1955, just before the 20-year-old prodigy left Wills to go to business school . Vance and Bob worked up the song together on the spot, and they share writers' credit. It is, by the way, the first session Bob ever used a pedal steel -- Vance had his triple-neck nonpedal Bigsby retrofitted with pedals the previous May.

Delighted to see that someone has linked this obscure, late 50's recording. It has been a favorite ever since I first heard it. I congratulate you on your VERY good taste!!
I love everything about this song--the beat, the instruments, especially the steel guitar--and replay it over and over. I love dancing the two-step to it around the office when no one's here. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing it with us.
Bob Wills was married to Betty Anderson . Was she related to Les "Carrot Top " Anderson? Les played steele guitar and did vocals. Anyone out there know?
cant get enough of Mr. Wills ;)
