Background

"I Don't Care " was one of four Hank Williams songs recorded by singer Molly O'Day in 1946 and 1947 that appeared in Williams' self-published song folios in 1945 and 1946. The song, a lament about a lost love, was recorded at Williams' second and final Sterling recording session on February 13, 1947 with Tommy Jackson, Dale "Smokey" Lohman, Zeke Turner, and Louis Innis. As Colin Escott observes, Hank and producer Fred Rose were beginning to hone the sound that would make Hank a country superstar:
Bonnie Owens recorded the song in 1969. In 1981, Hank Williams, Jr. released the song as a duet with George Jones on his album The Pressure Is On.
