But the song received its big boost to worldwide fame when Larry Sparks recorded it as a Bluegrass song in 1980 as the title song on his "John Deere Tractor" album for Rebel Records. It shot to the top of the Bluegrass charts and has consistently been a leading standard on Bluegrass radio and recorded and played by dozens of lesser Bluegrass performers ever since.
