Just a hint of horns and a slightly more alt country feel set this original version of the song apart from the covers that followed. Plus that organ and upright bass sound, I mean, you can't beat the vibe from this song. Crowell wrote and released the song in 1992, taking it to #10. It's another gem from my childhood that I stumbled onto when doing a little YouTube browsing. I'd completely forgotten about it honestly, and I love rediscovering this classics.
Patty Loveless, whose early years in music are connected to the area close to where I'm from, released a cover of the song. It didn't perform quite as well on the charts, and it has a more mainstream country feel to it. I definitely like Crowell's version better, but I have to give Loveless props, too.
