I used to see Buddy Long at Abel hall in Phoenix Arizona back in the 50's. Duane Eddy was the lead guitar player in his band. Wow those were the days....
Good Song! It's nothin' to me. Written in 1957 by Pat Patterson better know as the great singer / songwriter Leon Payne. (I Love You Because" "They'll Never Take Her Love From Me" "Lost Highway" to Eddie Noack's "Psycho" in 1968.)
Buddy Long played in Phoenix area. In 1968 he worked for Waylon Jennings in Nashville playing bass.
similarities between "Psycho" and this one ... search youtube Eddie Noack's "Psycho"
@dkfelix The B-side is "Just a Friend", credited to Buddy Long, and I haven't heard it in a long time but I don't remember it being anything particularly special. I love the production on this, it's interesting to compare it to the Sanford Clark version which is similar but has a more developed Hazlewood sound. Also I think there's a definite Leon Payne influence on Lee's own composition "The Girl on Death Row".
@@jphillipsf Interesting . I didn't know it was the original. I have it by Sanford Clark and Lee Hazlewood. Will use this in my one of my shows here in the UK.
@@jphillipsf I have checked secondhand records and it says that Loy Clingman had the first release in 1957. If as you say Buddy's version is the original when was it recorded? as it shows a release date of 1959
@@ronwalker2353 yes sir, you are correct, had forgotten about ol' Loy, skipped him. Good you didn't take my word for it and researched it. I listen to every version out there of this son and though I do have my top favorites the others never disappoint.
Joseph Reyes Not quite the same, but the Six Feet Under country/rockabilly vinyl compilation on Mississippi Records might satisfy some of your needs. All of the tracks are on RUclips if you're not the vinyl type, as well.
@jkohler2 Haha ther'e's absolutelyt nothing wrong with that regarding the context to the rest of the song. It is a literary concept concept called in "Medias Res", which means that you jump right into a series of events without any introduction and here it is a situation in a bar.

Bought Sanford’s nearly sixty years ago...just heard this for the first time...but it won’t be the last!
The word "buddy" often appeared in songs produced by Lee Hazlewood and even the singers' names.
it's because of Sanford clark
This is one of the dopest songs iv'e ever heard.

This Song is so Fantastic, Thanks!
Sandford Clark is thrilling but this version is soothing.
Another outstanding version. Same producers as Loy Clingman's and Sanford Clark's versions, Lee Hazlewood and Lester Sill.
Quite A Melody Dont'cha Think?
Year: 1959.
i can tell by the way, he looks at you *Buddy* (Long)...

What a great version
Should be, it's the original version.

@@jphillipsf At least you put me on to the Buddy Long version, had not heard that one. And as I say, I can use that. Thanks Jimmie
Please post the B-side, if you've got it?!
@snare222 Could also be Al Casey, who worked with Lee Hazlewood as a session musician too.
Can anyone recommend more like this? I can't find anything else from Buddy, but this is fucking awesome.

Joseph Reyes Also another track written by Leon Payne, as this one was, called "Psycho" by Eddie Noack. It's amazing.

Bob Fryfogle: "Six Feet Under" is a work of wonderfully demented genius. Not as sinister as this, but totally haunted.
