A Fool Such as I is a country tune written by Bill Trader in 1952. It was a hit for Hank Snow the following year. Here’s Hank and the Rainbow Ranch Boys. This tune has been very well recorded, and why not. It’s fabulous! Lefty Frizzel played it. So did the Pavarotti of the Plains, Don Walser. Handsome Ned played it. Even Bob Dylan recorded this one. Here’s Hank Snow and the Rainbow Ranch Boys.

Now for a a much different take on this tune, listen to Dean Martin. Very cool.
