David keeps this song in the spirit of Hank's version and loses nothing by doing so, as the musical arrangement and expert vocal delivery carries it. The "Farewell To the Ryman" is a first-class musical tribute album to the Ryman auditorium which had been home to the legendary stars of country music for some 30 years, before the venue was changed to the new premises of Opryland USA theater in 1974.
Love this song.
Thank you Mr. Scott.
Many thanks for upload ! I like the "tempo change", the "modern chords"...great records, yes (and from the beginning to the end !!!) Jo
great country song! Never heard this version!
David Rogers was a great singer that never got attention he deserved..Most classic country stations won't even sniff his biggest hits..Sad..
It's their loss, but I'm still holding out hope for a 2 CD David Rogers anthology set.
This would have
been the perfect
song, and arrangement, for
David Rogers to
finish a live show!
Perhaps he did.👍
