Track from The Crazyhorse Bunch's self-released LP Nice n' Country.
From slipcue.com:
"A country covers band from Kankakee, Illinois that was first formed in 1975 to provide entertainment for some social events at a local Methodist church, and soon took on a life of its own. Several members of the band were drawn from the choir at Aroma Park United Methodist Church, and while the band was closely associated with the congregation, they also played regionally and their repertoire was mostly secular stuff, as heard on this album which included hits of the day from folks such as Bobby Bare, Johnny Cash, Johnny Paycheck and Merle Haggard, as well as singalong tunes such as Tompall Glaser's "Put Another Log On The Fire" and the early Oak Ridge Boys hit, "Y'All Come Back Saloon." They also tucked in a couple of gospel tunes, including one by the country-rock group Brush Arbor, called "Old Fashioned Few." Not sure how long the group was together, but through the end of the 'Seventies at least -- there's no date on the album, but this probably came out around 1978-79 or thereabouts."
Members of the band included Spencer Barnard, Trent Vimpeny, Gene Calvins, Ken Johnson, Marla Barnard, Darlene Johnston, Paul Record, Chuck Mathis, Roy Mullikin, and Rich Lighart.
