Quote from: J E B Stuart on June 13, 2025, 11:12:40 PMHughie Thomasson had no equal on the Fender Strat. This song was The Outlaws magnum opus and remains steadfastly present on many of my playlists. I've seen The Outlaws twice over the years and also got to see Hughie perform live during his nine year stint with Lynyrd Skynyrd. Sadly, he died of a heart attack in 2007 at only 55 years of age.  His music definitely lives on:

Amen.
