Well, we'll see. Anyway, "Good Year For The Roses" is gorgeous.

I'm still waiting for his version of "Bumper Of My SUV."

Does anyone remember the documentary that was broadcast about the making of this album?

Billy Sherrill driving his big boat, and looking completely bored about the process of remaking all this stuff he knows too well...

Meantine EC and co being over-reverent about departing too radically from the blueprints, apart from "Why don't you love me" where they basically play it twice and mix both versions together. And fear wether they annoyed BSherr doing that where he actually looked like he enjoyed that bit best.

That's why I voted that track.

I can't remember the last time I listened to this, so I'll go with "Sittin' and Thinkin'" because I'm high on Charlie Rich right now.

I love his version of "How Much I Lied," though that's a great story about the Hank tune.

Well, there you go.

Missed the poll, but truth and justice prevailed. I think this actually introduced me to George Jones...
