... a lot of good versions of that song, btw.
Dave Matthews Band does a good one, if you prefer.

... crazy good lyrics on that one.
• A man was falsely accused
• He had an alibi, but refused to offer it
• There was a woman that could attest to his innocence, but they took that one to the grave
Ppl take stuff to the grave every day.

... just an extremely well written song.
Written by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin; originally recorded by Lefty Frizzell in 1959.
The same picture, just slightly different colors, different brush strokes.

Recorded in Nashville, Lefty (apparently) made it as high as #6 on Billboard’s C&W List.
It has also been covered by Joan Baez, The Band, David Allen Coe, Bruce Springsteen, Mic Jagger, Jerry Garcia, Jason Bolland & Stragglers, Black Crowes & others.

Despite my undeniable ‘redneck’, I didn’t ‘get it’ until I heard DMB cover it.
A matter of timing? Who knows...
Sorta obnoxious that it required a Quaker from S. Africa to cover a song from Nashville for me to get there.
In any regard, I’m glad I arrived.

But it’s Lefty’s original version that resonates today:
• It was entered into Library of Congress this year, deemed “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant”
• The only thing real/decent (2019) that includes ‘Congress’, covered by @WaPo

Apologies - here is the tribute to JC:
... the irony!
“Democracy Dies in Darkness” 🤦🏻♂️
Thank god for giving us music!
... I can’t think of anything that demonstrates such clear connective tissue among clearly different people.
A cool version I hadn’t heard before, by Punk Rockers.
