Bill Vernieu does a beautiful job on this cowboy classic written by Smiley Burnett on a bet from Gene Autry that he couldn't get a song written by the time they reached Phoenix. He got it done before they got out of Oak Creek Canyon. As Bill says, "Gene Autry made millions on this song; Smiley Burnett got paid five bucks."
Performed at the Ogden Bluegrass & Acoustic Music Festival, 6 June 2009, in Fort Buenaventura Park, Ogden, Utah.
