John Scott Sherrill. They should put that in the title of this video.

Most definitely, John Anderson did a good version and so did The Mekons (Jon Langford and Sally Timms), John Scott Sherrill deserves most of the credit. Peace from the UK.

Beautiful discussion and thank you. It took a few minutes to realize I wasn’t listening to John Anderson.

I've played this song around the campfires back home. It gives me goosebumps when I hear it.

I just searched to see covers of this song. It's a true classic. John Anderson nailed it. It always hit home with me because I also had a babydoll who was truly wild and blue. She was and still is a spectacular Lady.

Check out Brent Cobbs cover. It’s so good :)

The first one I heard was the Okra All-Stars version, which I loved, I came here looking for the original. ❤

I always wondered about how this song was written. It’s so good and I also love Lucinda Williams version.

I love this song cause I always thought it would be fun to experience some drama one time and I finally met a woman who did that ..cause she was so unpredictable I never knew who what why or where shed been

Such a great song if you want to combine raw emotion and a kinda up tempo waltz.

[@jacobdavidson2462]

I know this from a cover played in a local bottle bar here in Beijing. Had to look it up.

[@Justgambleit]

This ain’t John Anderson though🧐

[@randomjoecitizen]

I was wondering...

[@alyorkie6]

It's John Scott Sherrill, the writer of "Wild and Blue"
