Originally released on Capitol 5704. Well before Merle Haggard was a household name, this tune was his biggest hit to date... all the way to number 3 on the Bilozoard Country chart! Both sides are pure, raw honky-tonk bliss. Credited to Merle Haggard and the Strangers. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Capitol Records factory sleeve.
