Very interesting to hear this overdubbed version. I've only heard the original one (with the prominent guitar play) which was on the reverse side of the single 'The Blizzard'. I like both the versions - they show the passage of time and changing styles - with the same perfect voice !
I think Jim would have recorded with this type of backing had he lived!This over-dub is W-A-Y better than the original,it suits his voice and the song better!
@artsevere I KNOW THAT LEON PAYNE WROTE UNDER THE PSEUDONYM PAT PATTERSON AND I BELIEVE THAT HE ALSO WROTE UNDER ANOTHER PSEUDONYM. HE WAS A GREAT SONGWRITER AND SINGER AND MUSICIAN! I USED TO LISTEN TO THE CHARLIE WALKER SHOW BROADCAST ON KMAC RADIO IN SAN ANTONIO AND LEON WOULD OFTEN VISIT ON HIS SHOW. SUCH MEMORIES!!!!
@MosheFanofJimReeves As Leo Jackson said, "There just something magic about that voice". I agree with you totally, Jim was the greatest singer of all time.
The credits say this song was written by Pat Patterson, but it was actually written by Leon Payne. I have that from a pretty good source, Leon's daughter Myrtie. She says he used Pat Patterson as a pseudonym on occasion.
@debtrixiecat This (overdubbed) version is is on the 1977 LP "It's Nothin' To Me", it's also on the 1980 LP "The Best Of Jim Reeves Volume IV". The original version (which has radically different background music) is on the 1961 LP "Tall Tales And Short Tempers".
