------------------------

"I'm a Long Gone Daddy" is a country song written and recorded by Hank Williams.
It was released in 1947 on MGM Records and became his second top ten hit.

Background

"I'm a Long Gone Daddy" laid the blueprint for what would become the typical Williams A-side: an up-tempo honky tonk song in the Ernest Tubb tradition with a bluesy edge.
The song was recorded in anticipation of a recording ban that would result from the American Federation of Musicians possibly calling a strike at the end of December when agreements with all the record companies expired.
Producer Fred Rose wanted eight usable sides that could be doled out over the length of the strike.
It was recorded on November 6, 1947, at Castle Studio in Nashville.
Williams was supported by a group that producer Rose assembled from two Grand Ole Opry bands: Zeke Turner (lead guitar), Jerry Byrd (steel guitar), and Louis Ennis (rhythm guitar) were from Red Foley's band while Chubby Wise (fiddle) was a member of Bill Monroe's band. Rose may have played piano.
The same session produced "I Can't Get You Off of My Mind," a second recording of "Honky Tonkin'," and the Rose composition "Rootie Tootie".
