"I'm a Long Gone Daddy" is a country song written and recorded by Hank Williams.
"I'm a Long Gone Daddy" laid the blueprint for what would become the typical Williams A-side: an up-tempo honky tonk song in the Ernest Tubb tradition with a bluesy edge.
[citation needed] Producer Fred Rose wanted eight usable sides that could be doled out over the length of the strike.
Williams was supported by a group that producer Rose assembled from two Grand Ole Opry bands: Zeke Turner (lead guitar), Jerry Byrd (steel guitar), and Louis Ennis (rhythm guitar) were from Red Foley's band while Chubby Wise (fiddle) was a member of Bill Monroe's band.
The same session produced "I Can't Get You Off of My Mind," a second recording of "Honky Tonkin'," and the Rose composition "Rootie Tootie".
