Upon first hearing this song, I knew right from the start. This has got to be the most ridiculously hopeless song. Just listen to the lyrics. It's so hopeless, it's borderline pathetic. It's one of those songs that reminds you of horrible situations, then you start laughing...with the immediate feeling of embarrassment. Cause ...well...it's not actually very funny at all. And thats what makes this song absolutely amazing. This is a relatively rare Ernest Tubb and Troubadours record from 1965. Sounds like they made it appear to be a live record, with conveniently placed live chatter with studio quality recording to follow. Either way, Cal Smith is giving one of the best country vocal performances I've heard. Something you could easily suspect inspired G. Parsons vocal performance of 'Hot Burrito #1. Now you know. This is where it all came from. Pristine Country Music .
Thankyou for visiting. I'm just here to play you some records from my personal collection. I love music, probably more than most anything else in life. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Please follow and share with your friends!
