It was released as the flipside to his single "Honky Tonk Blues" in 1952 on MGM Records. BackgroundAccording to country music historian Colin Escott, Hank Williams' friend and rival Lefty Frizzell always claimed that Hank wrote "I'm Sorry for You, My Friend" about him, quoting the Texan as saying, "All Hank thought about was writing. He recorded a number he wrote because I was having trouble with my better half called 'I'm Sorry for You, My Friend.' We'd swap songs we'd written."{{sfn|Escott, Colin|2004|173}}{{Full citation needed|date=July 2015}} Frizzell had emerged as Williams' biggest competition in the early fifties; as the 2001 documentary series Lost Highway: The History of American Country put it, "He was the one honky tonk singer who could match Hank's jukebox appeal nickel for nickel, tear for tear." Like Williams, Frizzell was a gifted writer and, also like Williams, had a reckless personal life dogged with marital strife and alcoholism. They pair actually toured together in April 1951 in what writer Dan Cooper called, "honky tonk's apex, the instant that symbolized the genre's zenith."{{sfn|Escott, Colin|2004|171}}{{Full citation needed|date=July 2015}} Williams recorded the song at a session at Castle Studio in Nashville on August 10, 1951. He was backed by Jerry Rivers (fiddle), Don Helms (steel guitar), Sammy Pruett (lead guitar), Howard Watts (bass), probably Jack Shook (rhythm guitar), and either Owen Bradley or Fred Rose on piano.{{sfn|Escott, Colin|2004|345}}{{Full citation needed|date=July 2015}} Cover versions
