Cal Smith emerged from Ernest Tubb's Texas Troubadours and got his first solo recording contract with the help of his boss, signing for Kapp Records in 1966. He had a few minor chart hits, then in late 1970 he changed to Decca and started having major success in the following years, with three of his releases even reaching the #1 position: "The Lord Knows I'm Drinking" (1973), "Country Bumpkin" (1974) and "It's Time To Pay The Fiddler" (1975).

Go ahead and laugh, but when I was a kid hearing this on my mother's transistor radio, I couldn't tell whether it was Johnny Cash or Cal Smith. He does sound a bit like Cash here, I think. . . . . . .Great to hear it again.

Great voice. I read recently that Cal is 81 and lives in the Branson, Missouri area with his wife. They spend a lot of time fishing, what a great way to retire FISHING! Anyways have always been a fan of Cal Smith.

A #1 hit for Cal Smith on the Country & Western charts. It was the 330th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era. It also hit #1 on the Canadian C&W charts. It would be the final #1 hit for Cal Smith on either chart.
