Another appearance by Floyd Cramer, with this instrumental remake from July 1961 of a country music standard first popularized in the late 1930’s by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. Those guys put the Western swing in country and western music with fiddles, steel guitar, electric guitar, drums and a horn section way before it was hip. Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and even Jimi Hendrix said Wills was a big influence on their style.
