No matter WHO's covered "Drift Away" in the past, NO ONE could surpass (in the wrong direction) country singer Narvel Felts' version, which appeared a few months after Dobie's:
".....I wanna get lost in your country song, and drift away....." ouch.

....and, of course, just a year later Buck Owens covered Dr. Hook's "Cover Of The Rolling Stone" as "COVER OF THE MUSIC CITY NEWS"!
I trust songwriter Shel Silverstein gave his consent......?!

I'm somewhat embarrassed... at first I thought you were talking about the actor who played "Dobie Gillis" on TV!
