This 1964 single, released just before Owens' own "I've Got A Tiger By The Tail" hit number one, features the band in a rare starring role, covering the Webb Pierce original.
- This was the A-side of the Buckaroos' second single, with "All The Wine That's Mine" as the B-side.
- The single was released in late 1964 on Capitol Records.
- Despite the backing band's prowess, the single did not chart.
The Buckaroos were the principal performing and recording band for country star Buck Owens. They were pioneers of the Bakersfield sound, a distinct alternative to the smoother Nashville sound.
