2011 saw David Dondero release A Pre-Existing Condition, thirteen songs, nine of which were cover versions: amongst others there’s Lowell George’s Willin’, Elizabeth Cotton’s Freight Train, Neil Young’s Don’t Cry No Tears, and two by Charley Pride – Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’ and today’s selection.
Without question my favourite Pride song, Dondero does just enough to make it different from the original without ruining it:
David Dondero – (Is Anybody Going To) San Antone
Oh, go on then, compare and contrast if you like:
Charley Pride – Is Anybody Goin’ To San Antone
They don’t name albums like that anymore.
More soon.
