Yup, I got Iris DeMent's version, it's good but I think Song Writers alway do a better version of their own songs, even Kris Kristofferson although I know a lot of people don't agree with that. There us just one of Tom's songs where, although he wrote it, it was done better by the gal who made it a hit, and that is Harper Valley PTA. (Jeannie C. Riley, 1968)
One of my favorite country music songs of all time from any artist. I cant find this to download and eventually i will have to hunt down the album. For now, this is a blessing to be able to hear on youtube. Thank you.
Tom T. Hall is the greatest songwriter ever and he does pretty good singing what he writes!!!!

You should hear Iris DeMent do this song. It's on "The Real Tom T Hall Tribute" album. Absolutely stunning.

How can anyone not love Tom T. Hall's brilliant Songwriting? Such great simplicity and so much "down to earth" everyday truth in his Songs.
