Have to love the gentle sound of Jimmie's F-hole guitar chords combined with the 'deadend' strings on...I'm guessing...a Fender solid body guitar...Good Lord...please bring back "singers and musicians"...I am so beyond being tired of "yellers and noisicians"...Tunesmith.

WOW!!!!!!
Never heard this before! WOW!
I first "discovered" Jimmie by picking up his CHILD OF CLAY cd. He quickly became my new hero. Then I was at a party last year and guess who sang a song? JIMMIE!!!!
Amazing man and new friend. He is as humble and down to earth as he is talented. God Bless him.

I wish the so called oldies stations(especially the Boston version WODS) would burn the beach boys version and play this much better version.

@DENISMURRELL This is an incorrect rumor, and was even published in Rolling Stone some years ago. Jimmie is not the son of Hank Snow. I contacted Rolling Stone about their error, and they ignored me. I lost any respect I had for RS at that point. Read Jimmie's autobiography "Dancing on the Moon", you'll learn more than you would from Rolling Stone.

Why in all the world do all lradiostations broadcast the Beach Boys version?

Son of Hank Snow, c/w singer renowned.

Love this song. Sure beats the hell out of the Beachboy's "lollypop" version.
Thanks for the memories........ A favourite of all my family.
Such clarity, purity; I have always loved his voice.

@curlingnf the similar-sounding 'Yellow Bird' was the family favourite here.
