I interviewed Joe for my book, who recalled Hank telling him the story about how he and Reeves wrote the song on the plane coming back from the 1957 USO tour. Joe's version with Mr. Locklin was recorded only a short time before Hank passed away.
You can hear a sample of it on iTunes and better yet -- download it!
