Another one by Marty Robbins.  This one is historically significant as the song that gave birth to the fuzzy guitar tone.  When Grady Martin went to add his guitar solo, a transformer blew in his amp leading to 250 volts going directly through the winding.  And the rest is history.

Never heard that before, thats cool, Marty was something special for sure.

 

From his Bio:

(Robbins enjoyed one of the most illustrious careers in the history of country music. He recorded more than 500 songs and 60 albums, and won two Grammy Awards. Each year for 19 consecutive years, Robbins managed to place at least one song on the Billboard country singles charts.)

 

Born in Arizona and died in Tennessee.

Fun fact, Eurythmics formed in Australia, well in Wagga Wagga (wog-ah wog-ah) to be exact. They were over here touring with their then band The Tourists, and one night in Wagga Wagga they decided, yeah nah fruck it, let's leave and do our own shit.

Heard a clip of this song over the weekend and drew a blank on the song title and band.  Finally worked it out because I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to things like that.

 

And, it's in keeping with Jo's whole Aussie band theme she's got going...

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
