This is so beautiful.

@paintingangels This is the version I've known for many years. I didn't realize until recently Bill Anderson wrote it as well as being an actual hit of his. After hearing Bill's version, I still think this is the better of the two. Probably because the way the back up vocalists performed on this track! :-)

Damn music is crazy. This is so reminiscent of gospel but its country, all this stuff is related but its all different too. Sometimes this American music just blows my mind.

I can count the number of artists who mastered the art of recitations, Jimmy, Tex Ritter, Bill Anderson and Walter Brennan come to mind. But Jimmy has always been at the top of the list. A common misconception about recitations is that they are easier to do than singing lyrics. But they are not because with a recitation the true emotion is far more clearly heard. Rest in peace old friend, I'm sure that God made this his first request when you arrived.
