This was a Spade Cooley arrangement. Not sure of which year this was recorded. It is not the first original version from 1945. I believe the Steel Guitarist was Joaquin Murphy with some new licks and phrasing. The only other possibility is that this was the Spade Cooley Band after it was taken over by Tex Williams and became the Western Caravan _________________ Sacramento Western Swing Society Hall of Fame, 1992 |

This is a tough one. It has Spade written all over it, but it just doesn't sound like Joaquin to me. The right hand harmonics before the steel solo don't sound like
the usual presentation by Murph. It'll be interesting to to know the answer. |

Yes, this is really a tough one, I admit. The track was recorded in the 1980s and is by Windy Wood & The Sons Of Western Swing", the steel player is Vic Ashmead. I have three albums by this band, they all are great Western Swing albums in the Bob Wills and Spade Cooley tradition.
