Which American musician who participated in the "Nashville sound" for most of his professional career covered the song "I'm Gonna Be a Wheel Someday?"
I'm Gonna Be a Wheel Someday "I'm Gonna to Be a Wheel Someday" is a popular song written by Roy Hayes, Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew. The song was first recorded by Bobby Mitchell & The Toppers in 1957 and released in the same year. It was later covered by Fats Domino, Sandy Nelson, Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders, Boots Randolph, Defenders, Asleep at the Wheel, Orion and Herbie Hancock with George Porter, Jr., Zigaboo Modeliste, Sheryl Crow, Paul McCartney and Renard Poché.
Take These Chains from My Heart "Take These Chains from My Heart" is a song by Hank Williams. It was written by Fred Rose and Hy Heath and was recorded at Williams' final recording session on September 23, 1952, in Nashville. The song has been widely praised; Williams' biographer Colin Escott deems it "perhaps the best song [Rose] ever presented to Hank...It was one of the very few songs that sounded somewhat similar to a Hank Williams song." Williams is backed by Tommy Jackson (fiddle), Don Helms (steel guitar), Chet Atkins (lead guitar), Jack Shook (rhythm guitar), and Floyd "Lightnin'" Chance (bass). In the wake of William's passing on New Year's Day, 1953, the song shot to #1, his final chart topping hit for MGM Records. Like "Your Cheatin' Heart," the song's theme of despair, so vividly articulated by Williams' typically impassioned singing, reinforced the image of Hank as a tortured, mythic figure.
