Only one month after Throckmorton's version charted, John Conlee released his own rendition of the song, from his album of the same name. Conlee's version charted at No. 2 on Hot Country Songs.[2] Conlee's version of the song was the first credit for session guitarist Brent Rowan, who soon became the only guitarist that Conlee used under the production of Bud Logan.[3]
