Charlie Louvin, to the surprise of exactly no one in the audience, sang "Knoxville Girl" last night during his set opening for the Old 97's at the Bijou Theatre. (Louvin and his brother Ira recorded the song in the 1950s.) It was neither very good nor very bad.
(In case you're wondering, there is a bad seat at the Bijou, despite conventional wisdom to the contrary. It's about a third of the way back, left of center, right behind that guy with the unusually large head.)
Stereogum has an MP3 of Louvin performing the song with Will Oldham.
