Andy S.:

Behind “Satisfied Mind,” wrote roots music researcher and author Colin Escott, “there are at least two stories.

“In one, Texas fiddle player Joe ‘Red’ Hayes had an encounter with a UFO. A quasi-magnetic force pulled his arm up against the extra–terrestrial object, inflicting a burn, and, after the burn healed, Hayes realized that the aliens had given him a song by way of compensation—and that song was ‘Satisfied Mind.’

“Around the same time Hayes told that story, he told Country Music People: ‘That song came from my mother. Everything in the song is something I heard her say. One day my father-in-law asked me who I thought the richest man in the world was, and I mentioned some names. He said, ‘You’re wrong, it’s the man with the satisfied mind.’”

“Red Hayes played fiddle with Jack Rhodes…[who] operated a motel, the Trail 80 Courts, outside Mineola, Texas, and had a demo studio set up in a couple of rooms behind the kitchen. It was probably there that ‘Satisfied Mind’ was finished and first committed to tape. Hayes’ version was released on Starday.”

Porter Wagoner, who’d just been dropped from the RCA recording roster, was given a copy of Red Hayes’ record. On September 11, 1954 at a Springfield, Missouri radio station, Wagoner cut a self-financed, bare-bones version of “Satisfied Mind.” Although RCA a&r man Steve Sholes soon re-signed the singer to a new contract, “Satisfied Mind” stayed on the shelf until the spring of 1955 – by which time new versions by Red Foley and Jean Shepard moved Sholes to release it (with additional instruments overdubbed).

Porter Wagoner’s “Satisfied Mind,” writes Colin Escott, “broke out of Houston, where Red Hayes’ record had already been a hit. ‘This is the one we’ve been looking for,’ Sholes told Porter. ‘It sold 20,000 copies in Houston this week.’ Wagoner’s version became a #1 country hit in 1955, and the song became an instant standard.”
