    ditto OH’s comment. Kudos to the “One More Day” writers, Steven Jones and Bobby Tomberlin.

    I like them all except for 2011’s horrendous and totally non-country offering.

    “One More Day” is a great song; one that I’ll associate with 9/11 since it go so much airplay after the attacks.

    Some trivia for diehard Marty Robbins fans :

    The single version of “Don’t Worry” is from a different take than the stereo album version. The single version times out slightly shorter (3:10) vs. the stereo album version (3:14)Also during the intro of the stereo album version Marty takes a deep breath just before singing the first line of the song(at approx :06). If you listen with headphones it’s quite noticeable.

    An award-winning performance from one of country music’s best voices. There is no one singing country music today who can come close to Marty.

      “Also during the intro of the stereo album version Marty takes a deep breath just before singing the first line of the song(at approx :06). If you listen with headphones it’s quite noticeable.”

      I’ve always had a minor fascination with ‘noticable’ human effects on records, such as hearing the singer breathe, cough, or flub a line. I had an idea for a discussion about such recordings a while back that I never wrote. Now you’ve started my brain working again.

      As for this week’s songs, I like all of these. I am not as familiar with the Eddy Arnold track as the others, though I have heard it a few times. 1961 – 01 are all classics, and this year’s entry is my favorite #1 of the year (so far).
