"The Wild Side of Life" and "It Wasn't God Who made Honky Tonk Angels"

Back in the 50's there was a trend in Country Music to record a song and if was a big hit, another artist would record what was called in the trade as an "Answer Song"

Here is the best example I know of

Hank Thompson "The Wild Side of Life"

Later, Kitty Wells recorded the answer song ---It wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels

By the way, Hank Thompson was an Oklahoman!
