This was pressed in 1955, quite a while after fighting in Korea had stopped. I like the way he says "Korear", with "That Plain Ol' Country Boy" slur.

Hit Records #88

A lot of people are listening to the Witmark demos this week, and I thought I'd post a record that relates to those sessions. This is why Bob went in and made the demos in the first place, so that they could be recorded by other artists and reap the royalties. So Bob apparently got 2 cents of the 39 cents they charged for this record, although I think his manager Albert Grossman took one of those pennies.

Bob's demo version:

I find it interesting that her record label dropped her because she wouldn't wear dresses and behave like a lady onstage. But she stood up to them. Can you imagine the shoutin' in the boardroom of the company that day!

This one is from 1955.
