2:40
single, 1960
Written by Bill Parsons?
This is not the song by the Beach Boys, nor the other song of the same name by the Steve Miller Band. Instead, it's an example of the burgeoning intersection between rock riffs and honky tonk talk-singing, nearly but not quite yet rockabilly. Parsons is an interesting figure whose story is muddled. Apparently Bobby Bare recorded the vocals for the first single released under Parson's name, and while Parsons sang on the other, Bare was accidentally credited to both. Thus, some people think Parsons was just a pseudonym for Bare. Information on this song is practically nonexistent; I'm guessing at the release date. In fact, come to think of it, I have no proof this is actually Parsons.
