Whoa, I didn't say the Cash Carter was first. The Sinatra/Hazelwood is first, THEN the Cash/Carter, and then this.Never heard it before, decent version, but definitely third after the two famous ones. I don't think the pumping piano works, it sounds like they are forcing the tempo faster than it should be.I agree the Cash/Carter version is best but I think Jerry & Linda Gail come in a good second

Yes it's a real good blues instrumental with Walter Horton's cool harp. Recorded for Chess 196978. Down Home - Hound Dog TaylorDon't see any YT videos with "Down Home." There's a few videos of "Down Home Special." Is that it?
I'm surprised you don't like. A standout track on the "Memphis" LP. I like Percy Sledge's version too109. True Love Travels On A Gravel Road - Elvis PresleyYuk

Never paid attention to this track. It's okay. Have you heard the latest from our wonderful conservatives. They now say that slavery had some good points, that many slaves learned a trade from it, like being a blacksmith.
30. Someone To Watch Over Me - Ray CharlesDid not know it. Violin laden slosh. Never heard him sing in such a high key before.
34. Across The Universe - BeatlesShocker, although the version from 1969 is different than the version on the "Let It Be" album in 1970. Do you have the right one?
1969 release:
39. He Made A Woman Out Of Me - Betty La VetteDid not know it, worth having. Sounds like a country song, did some country girl do it, I don't see it listed as a country hit.
46. Louisiana Man - Jerry Lee LewisDid not know it. Pretty good version worth having, but Rusty & Doug is a tad better.

It's not the least bit funny if he is. It's not the least bit accurate if he isn't. There's no comparison. Lee Hazelwood is no Johnny Cash.

By the way, let's not forget the original version of "Jackson" from 1963.

Are you seriously trying to compare Lee Hazelwood with Johnny Cash, and even seemingly giving Hazelwood the edge? That's reminiscent of the Rocketman troll from this group's past.

Yes, I'm saying that Lee had much more talent as a songwriter and producer than Johnny had. And I'm saying that when we evaluate versions of a particular song the fact that one artist had a much more significant career than the other is not relevant.
His version of "Amen" is not a pimple on the ass of the Impressions version. His version of "Battle Of New Orleans" can't touch the Johnny Horton version. His version of "Busted" is not near as good as Ray Charles version. None of the Hank Williamssongs he did are even close to Hank's versions, or several other versions.
How about this?bigger than all but 3 of Cash's album, which includes the 2 famous live ones. The Cash/Carter album with "Jackson" barely cracked the top 200 on the same Billboard chart, peaking at #194 in a whopping 3 week run.

Nowhere near the Ray Charles or the Presley version.
How about this farce?

There's a reason why the Nancy & Lee "Jackson" was the huge national hit and the Cash/Carter version only made the country charts. Also, the Nancy & Lee album with "Jackson" went Gold and reached #13 on the Billboard LP charts in a 44 week run. It was

Stop listening to these stupid rock critics who bash the Z & E. It's not a bad record. I give it a 6. When the Mancin was out I immediately turned the station every time it came on. It's putrid.

I bought it in 1969. On the Silver Fox label. I had never heard of
Betty LaVette before and was swept away by her voice.

I like Ann Peebles a lot more than you do, and this is what I would
describe as "a killer ballad."

I didn't say it was a bad record. I simply said it was my least favorite #1 hit of 1969. At least the Mancini thing doesn't have idiotic sci-fi lyrics.
