Musicians on Put It Off Until Tomorrow include Scottie Sparks on lead vocal and guitar; Allen Mills on bass and harmony vocal; Ronald Smith on banjo and harmony vocal; Dempsey Young on mandolin; and produced by Allen Mills and Lost & Found.
I remember Scotty singing it one day while we were rehearsing on stage. We eventually recorded it and had it mixed years ago, but it was never released. It’s a good cut, and I think it came off really well. There’s some great instrumentation – Allen Mills.
According to American Songwriter magazine, Put It Off Until Tomorrow was one of two songs that helped put Dolly Parton on the map as an artist and songwriter in country music. Dolly co-wrote the tune with her uncle Bill Owens, and it was first recorded by Bill Phillips in 1966. The same year, Loretta Lynn, Jeannie Seely, Jean Shepard & Ray Pillow, and Don Reno all recorded their versions. In February 1967, Dolly included Put It Off Until Tomorrow on her album, Hello, I’m Dolly. In 1982, Dolly and Kris Kristofferson’s version was included on the album, The Winning Hand by Kris, Willie, Dolly & Brenda. Bluegrass music fans will no doubt enjoy Lost & Found’s rendition of this popular tune.
