Also have “The Drifter” LP in stereo with “Feleena.” All 8:17 minutes. My favorite song is "A Hundred and Sixty Acres.” All 1:40 in length. That’s from the “Gunfighter” LP. Last night

I also have "The Drifter". I've had 'Gunfighter Ballads' (in mono) on vinyl since I was a kid - but I also have the re-mastered CD shown in the picture in the 'Cool Water' post above and that's what I listen to. 'The Drifter' is also on CD.

I've been meaning to add 'More Gunfighter Ballads' to my collection for a long time, but I've only been able to find it as a 2-fer CD combined with the first volume that I already have, so I've not plunged because I hate duplicating items, what with being on a budget.

I frequently listen to (and watch) Elizabeth Montgomery performing "The Iffin Song" on the "Hippie Hippie Hooray episode from the fourth season of BEWITCHED. It's one of my favorite moments from one of my favorite episodes of one of my favorite TV series. It's one of the episodes where Elizabeth Montgomery plays both Samantha and Samantha's identical cousin Serena. In the fourth season of BEWITCHED, the character of Serena returned with a vengeance, after previously appearing in only one episode --- the one from the second season that featured the birth of Samantha's daughter Tabatha (the original spelling of the name).

In the context of the episode, "The Iffin Song" is performed by Samantha pretending to be Serena. As she tells the Tates, the song was recorded by the Belters on the flip-side of "America The Beautiful."



Elizabeth Montgomery (wearing the costume from this scene) made the cover of TV GUIDE the week the episode originally aired in 1968.
