At least in my opinion,,,,and message is awesome!!

For those not old enough to remember,,,this was a song written (I think maybe by Fred Rose,,Acuff and Rose) during the "Cold War" with Russia,,,and Joseph Stalin,,,hence the name,,,"No, No Joe",,,,lyrics reflect how Americans felt about it.

Great lyric,,,GREAT SWING!!!

Great tune, and even better steel playing. Is that Don Helms?

Never heard that Hank Williams recording, and I thought I had heard them all...

Reminds me a lot of "Smoke smoke that cigarette"...the Merle Travis tune.
