About this song
Colter Wall recorded a full-band studio version of Stan Jones's classic cowboy tune for his self-produced 2020 album, Western Swing & Waltzes and Other Punchy Songs. He had long performed the song live, and this recording was released as the album's second single on July 24, 2020, about a month before the album came out. The arrangement adds harmonica, pedal steel and mandolin, and the Western Writers of America have listed the original among the best Western songs of all time.
