So much like George's original, why play it? I mean, I love Dave and the work he did in the early days of the Stray Cats, but I have this thing about bringing something new to a song or not covering it.



Jeez, I had that one birthday back when I was born - why would I ever want to celebrate that again? Why would I ever let anyone else throw me a party? 

Because this is a fucking awesome celebration of George's original. That's why. 

Hit PSD and move on if it's too much for you.

upping to an 8 from 7 - major props for the album title that I just noticed

Still laughing at all the weird grief over Dave covering this, the Stray Cats connection, etc. 

Great song, cover, and artist. 

Get over it.

At Last! Dave Edmunds on RP! He is one of the greatest unsung guitar gods. Saw him a year ago in Austin. He even played "The Saber Dance." You know, the one that they always used to play on Ed Sulivan while featuring plate twirlers or acrobats. :) Glad to hear him here! Thanks, Bill!
 
Plates and acrobats maybe.  But they never played that song when the sisters were on their backs juggling tables.

There is also a great version of this song, released the same year 1981, on the Grateful Dead's all acoustic live album Reckoning.

Reminds me of my honky-tonk days of the late 70's and early 80's when Country swing was the thing to do on Friday and Saturday night.  Maybe it still is, I don't know.  Anyway, those were fun days.

I love George Jones and I love this song.  But this version not so much.

Ha!

I thought for a second I was listening to my fave local station, KGID. It's a tiny station in Giddings, and plays old-school country: Tammy, Loretta, Bob Wills, George Jones, etc.

Well done Bill!

Please make it stop!!!! I am having flashbacks of drunk cowboys attempting to line dance.

Awesome!  Hopefully it doesn't take another 14 years before RP plays it again.

That's fair. But Dave's whole schtick is the meticulous re-creation of early songs and/or sounds. Why, I don't know. Anyway, did you know this is the Stray Cats on this track? 'tis. I think it was one of the first songs from the same sessions as the first album he produced by them. So I suspect in that regard it was something they all knew by heart and could cut without a lot of takes. Just the sort of thing a producer might do with a new band so they could get a feel for each other and the studio.
