Here's another one from the “Tennessee Plowboy”. This, too, was first released on shellac (21-0002) on 21. January 1949.
Looks like it was typical for Arnold to have a hit song on both sides of a single.
Harold Bradley (Owen Bradley’s younger brother) plays the other guitar on the flip. Later in his career he played with Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, the Byrds and many others.
List price: Very Good+ is $25, Near Mint is $50. The second pressing has green label on black vinyl, and it’s listed at half the price of the 1st pressing.
