Not his best but still good.  Definitely an underplayed artist.

Conjures that scene in "Airplane!" where the lady is playing guitar for the heart transplant patient.

Thanks. I was very confused by the cover art showing for this song. This might not be the best T-Bone, but it's always nice to hear him.

This is such an awful song I don't know what to say. If I were T-Bone I'd be embarrassed. Every performer makes a few mistakes in their career and this hast to be one of T-Bone's. Please! Please, don't play it again!

Oh, I get it!  He's intentionally singing horribly as a metaphor of the loveless state of the...

makes me think of that wood-heated house in the woods outside new paltz ny, where one of the guys had built his bed with trees he felled in the woods and another was throwing pots with clay she dug up by the river ... crunchy.

If you like this song, check out Sam Phillips' cover of it. More energy and less country twang. Best of all, it keeps T-Bone on his gorgeous open steel string rhythm guitar.

There is much, much, much better T Bone that could be playing right now. This pretty much stinks.
