Greetings Becky and Beckaroos. Cool H. Remington track, some definite Les Paul influence in the arrangement and recording. Always love me some steel guitar.

odds are 5 to 1 that this song mentions 'petting'
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:21pm

i lost.
  8:24pm
P-90:

But what to rhyme with "petting", there's the rub.
"sweating"? "wetting"? "fretting", maybe...

Doye O'Dell first did "Diesel Smoke" in 1952 I think.

Julea:

I understand that Foy Willing and the Riders of the Purple Sage did a version in the late 40's, but I can't find it anywhere.

Ken: see, they're all a bit too risque or a downer.
("bed-wetting" way out there for '55)

@Dale I haven't heard that! I love Rose Maddox's House of the Rising Sun, though.

Oh man! This is probably my favorite Melba record!

I have been trying to meet her for the longest time. I know she lives in town, I wish she was still performing.

Someone should release a compilation of Country and Western covers of Monkees faves. Unless someone already has...?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:42pm

all i know about melba is the awful musicor-forced duets album with gene pitney. and gene and george jones was even worse!

I found the attempt at humor in that last piece to be creepy & strained, but interesting as sort of documentary of opinion.
