I also liked the Wilburn Brothers version of "Arkansas", the same song referenced as by the Osborne Brothers. The Wilburn Brothers charted in the lower reaches of the charts with the song. When both acts were on MCA/Decca, they recorded quite a few of the same songs I think my favorite Arkansas themed song was “I Hear Littel Rock Calling” by Ferlin Husky.
