I don’t really know that this is western per se but it’s certainly evocative of the west, and any song that’s had the honor of being covered by Chet Atkins, Charlie Rich, Conway Twitty, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Dwight Yoakam and Elvis Presley has a fair amount of cred.

Here’s the original, written and sung by Danny O’Keefe - “Good Time Charlie’s Got The Blues.”

Worked a music festival (Artist Hospitality) way back when, Danny O'Keefe was one of the stars and that song had just started to rise in the charts. I recall him as being a very nice guy.

This one is from that same time frame, if memory serves:

Please be with me - Cowboy

Featuring Duane Allman on Dobro. Excellent song that never got the playing time it deserved.
