Soaceman,
I had forgotten. Those were the early days when I listened but didn’t register what I was listening to as it was still country, and I listened politely.

Thanks, Kat. I found this one very moving.

I’m glad, Erin, as I didn’t know if you had a specific singer in mind.

He’s the original, so that works. I also have a version where he does it with Tom Paxton and Anne Hills. It’s very good.

Erin,
I listened to that version as well but this was an easy choice.

Spaceman,
I think this is the first time I’ve ever heard Dwight Yoakum sing.
You chose well because most of the singers I’ve heard have made me rethink my no country. I think I could come to like many of them.

2nd time – I think we did “Streets of Bakersfield” a couple months ago

Spaceman,
An Alabama fan here, at least for many of their songs, and now i can include this among them.
May 27, 2014 at 9:42 pm
Alabama songs always have melody, which is why, I think, they are widely popular

Spaceman,
I never thought why and I like your reasoning.
