Why This Album Matters

Mix's account of the session draws on recollections from guitarist Harold Bradley, a direct participant, and states that Cline could not complete the song because of her injuries before returning to record the vocal in one take. The Library of Congress essay independently confirms the separated session and one-take return, while the session discography identifies the released master and personnel. Accounts disagree about some exact session dating, so the candidate avoids asserting a disputed return date.
