Larry Jon Wilson, getting it right way before it was cool to do country funk..! Sounds a bit like polk salad annie, taken from the dvd Heartworn Highways
This man was a very good friend of mine! I met him via my grandfather in the late 1990s. Larry John I have your autograph, I have your blessings but, it will never fill the void! God bless you brother and I love you to this day.

I was thinking the exact same thing. This version is amazing so not really feeling the album version so much. Sounds to over produced and the backup singers makes is sound kinda dated. Like it belongs in a Garfield cartoon. It's not terrible, just doesn't have the vibe that makes this so good.

You are so right. Hate to say it, but at 58 years of age I had never heard Drive By Truckers or James McMurtry or even John Hiatt. I was stuck in a '70s classic rock bubble. Don't get me wrong ... still love the music I grew up with, but I thought I would never hear anything that turned me on again for the rest of my life. I was wrong.

I just finished reading an interview with Szalapski (Heartworn Highways director). He said he'd discovered this song on a LJW album and wanted Larry Jon to demonstrate how a song was recorded. They found a couple of friends and local session players to record this, so this is more of a reworking of a previously released song.
