Both the original release by
Ernest Tubb himself and this cover by
Asleep at the Wheel deserve a spot in your iPod, but which
do you think we place in the top spot? Could it be the Tubb original which launched the
entirety of honky-tonk? Or would it be Asleep at the Wheel’s 1988 cover where frontman Ray
Benson lets it slip that he’s a time traveler?
