Jimmy Fortune, known for his soulful voice and heartfelt delivery, particularly during his time with the Statler Brothers, offers a poignant rendition of the timeless country ballad, “She Thinks I Still Care.” This song, originally written by Dickey Lee and Steve Duffy, has been a staple in the

country music repertoire since its first release in 1962, notably recorded by George Jones. Fortune’s interpretation, however, brings a fresh layer of emotionality and depth, showcasing his vocal prowess and his ability to connect with the song’s narrative of heartbreak and lingering attachment.

“She Thinks I Still Care” tells the story of a man trying to move on from a lost love while grappling with the remnants of his feelings. He puts on a brave face, pretending to be indifferent to his former lover’s presence, but deep down, the pain of the separation still lingers.
