I've always preferred Suzy Bogguss' version of Someday Soon.

RIP.

I always liked him. I guess he's left Cheyenne.

His lyric "..slippery city shoes.." from "Summer Wages" has become part of my seasonal lexicon.
He was a geat songwriter. Covered by multiple generations and generas of performers. Perhaps, I daresay, one of the greatest.

Suzy Bogguss has a very pure voice, one of my favorites in Country music.
