Another excellent song that got by country radio. No surprises really. Country radio is 3 min. of music, then 5 min. of commercials between the same 20 songs, many of them "paint by numbers" country songs that David Allen Coe makes fun of so well in the final verse of "You Never Even Called Me By My Name". Keep at it Billy. You, Kathy Mattea, and Merle Haggard continue to put out great music overlooked by "country" radio, but not the fans.
Thanks for sharing this. I had no idea Billy had done this song... Just don't remember it being on the radio and CMT at that time. I like all 3 versions.
personally, I think that Josh's version and Billy's are equal. And the one first sung it, Don Williams did a very good job on it, too. For me, all three did this lots of justice.
I heart this song!

Billy Dean's is too fast. Even Josh Turner's is too fast. The true natural version speed and vocal for this song is by Don Williams.
Then again nothing new in Country to come out since the late 1980s is my Cup of Coffee.

Billy Dean was hot, not as hot as Josh Turner, but still not bad... Love the original version and Josh Turner's version better though.

I love Josh Turner but this is HANDS DOWN the better version of the songs. Originals are usually better. :-) Love Billy Dean!

@Laura4817 Just to clarify, this IS NOT the original version. Try Don Williams.

Josh turner sings it with more passion. It seems dean is scared to sing.

But that is my own personal opinion.
so, no need to flame and namecalling.

I don't know about way better, but J.T's is definitely more powerful.

Josh Turner's earthy version is for the honky-tonk-lovin' heart of the nation, Billy Dean's lush emotional country-pop-version for the rest..
