Ranch Radio Song of the Day

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.
