About the song: A 1949 classic by the Delmore Brothers, often cited as an early bridge between country and blues.
The song has been covered by a long list of artists,
including Chet Atkins, Merle Haggard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Doc Watson, and even Ry Cooder, who captured its spirit in several of his works.
It’s a track that transcends genres because it relies on a feel rather than a complex structure.
There are many dobro covers because this song is a natural fit for slide guitar, an easy standard to make your own, and a symbol of the country/blues crossover—exactly the resonator’s territory.
