I know. I couldn't believe it wasn't Ernest Tubb, either. This really is
Allen Flatt with That's What She Wrote (1953). Ronnie Pugh, in his book
Ernest Tubb: The Texas Troubadour wrote, "Mercury, in fact, became
almost a second home for Ernest Tubb imitators, since they also signed
Tubb Clone Allen Flatt in 1954, after his earlier discs for Jamboree,
Tennessee and Republic. Hal Smith recalls Flatt had live radio programs
on WKDA, A Nashville station. Imagine that: Ernest Tubb so popular that
he was mimicked in his own city!" Tubb recorded a different tune with
the title That's All She Wrote.
