It was released as the B-side to "Why Don't You Love Me" in 1950 on MGM Records. BackgroundBy May 1950, Hank Williams was a country superstar, having scored eight Top 5 hits since January 1949, and "Why Don't You Love Me" became his second #1 country single in a row. However, the B-side "A House Without Love," which contained lines like "We slaved to gain a worthless treasure" and "the simple things have gone forever," seemed to express Williams growing disillusion with fame and his growing estrangement with his wife Audrey Williams. In the episode of American Masters about Hank's life, songwriter Danny Dill stated, "See, Hank was one of those people that had driving ambition. He wanted to get to this place in the world where he was somebody. And he got up there, and there wasn't anything up there. It was empty...There was nothing there that he wanted. It was all back down there where he'd been." There are many documented accounts of the singer's disdain for those he perceived as thinking they were "above" him and he often made light of the fact that Audrey often spent money faster than he could make it. Indeed, the more successful Williams became, the more out of control his personal life spiraled as the new decade wore on. Williams recorded the song on August 30, 1949 at Herzog Studio in Cincinnati, Ohio (the same session that produced the B-side "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"). He is backed by members of the Pleasant Valley Boys – Zeke Turner (lead guitar), Jerry Byrd (steel guitar), and Louis Innis (rhythm guitar) – as well as Tommy Jackson (fiddle) and Ernie Newton (bass).{{sfn|Escott, Colin|2004|p=332}}{{Full citation needed|date=July 2015}} Cover versions
