Hank Williams (1952) → Carpenters (1973)
カントリー
1952年にハンク・ウィリアムズが発表したカントリー史上の大古典。ルイジアナ・ケイジャン文化の料理や風習を題材に、フィドルとアコースティックギターに乗せて陽気に歌い、ビルボード・カントリーチャートで14週連続首位を記録した。
Country Pop / Soft Rock / Pop
1973年のアルバム『Now & Then』に収録。リチャードがペダル・スティールやフィドルの土着要素を端正に整え、カレンの親しみやすく躍動的なボーカルを前面に配置。英国や日本で特大のヒット（オリコン洋楽シングル1位）を記録した。
原曲から再定義版へ
南部の泥臭いローカル・パーティ音楽を、70年代の極上なスタジオ・プロダクションによって世界中のお茶の間で親しまれる爽快なポップ・スタンダードへとリファクタリングした名演。
ルイジアナ湿地帯の素朴なホンキートンク・フォークを、クリアな音像と洗練されたスタジオ・アンサンブルによる普遍的カントリー・ポップへ再編。
原曲の泥臭い南部訛りの語りを整理し、カレン・カーペンターの弾むようなタイム感と清涼感あるボーカルで世界中のリスナーへ開放。
