In addition to looking at my favorite pop standards in a new countdown I'm also looking at favorite songs that have the word "back" in the title. This bit of inspiration came after my back started hurting following moving my LPs at home and some promo material at work. I'm happy to report my back is back...er, it's feeling better. Thank God, and thank you all for your concerns. Meanwhile, as a 180 from yesterday's song, here's today's "back" song.
My Baby Came Back - Louvin Brothers
Hey, doesn't everyone follow Joan Armatrading with the Louvin Brothers? 
(Hey, does anyone know who both are? 
)
I love the guitar on this song. It sounds so much like Don Rich sneaked out of a Buck Owens session to play on this song. In actuality, Paul Yandell was the primary guitarist on that album.
Answer songs were quite common in country music, and here the Louvins basically did their own answer song to their massive hit "My Baby's Gone." "My Baby's Gone" opened the album, and this song closed it. Between the two there was a lot of despair that fit the album cover (a man with his head down on a table with a crumpled piece of paper in his hand).
This is one of the classic albums in country music, and this happy, upbeat song concluded it in a splendid manner.
My Baby Came Back
Written by Ira Louvin and Charlie Louvin
Recorded by the Louvin Brothers
From My Baby's Gone, 1960

One of the greatest boppers the Louvins ever did. Recorded in Nashville with the great Paul Yandell on guitar.

A very early concept album, or just an open and close?

Just an open and close. Tragic Songs of Life is their classic concept album. Emphasis on “tragic.” To paraphrase Jim in Blazing Saddles, they kill more people than Cecil B. DeMille on that album.

@teamfreak16 — having said that, it is an incredible album. In fact, it’s the first country album listed in 1,001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Another song and group I haven't heard of. I really like this one. It seems that everyone always gets the same ideas and suddenly there are so many songs with one common word in the title. When I do themes for my music blog sometimes I choose a word like baby in the title and from all the songs offered I could come up with at least 3 - 4 times that I could repeat the same theme.
