This was Williams' second last single release in his lifetime.
The record is a country classic where the Drifting Cowboys provide a solid backing for Hank, Sr.
The title song was later covered by George Jones, Johnny Burnette and few other artists. The most successful covers of "You Win Again" have been recorded by Tommy Edwards (US #13 in Dec. 1952), Jerry Lee Lewis (US #95, US Country #4 in 1958), Fats Domino (US #22 in 1962) and Charley Pride (US Country #1 in 1980).
"Settin' the Woods On Fire" was recorded in the same session as Williams' biggest hit, "Jambalaya". That single will be the next post in the blog.
