Release and reception
On November 5, 1955, "Hidin' Out" was released as single on Coral Records. It was the second single release in Cline's career.[4] On the flip side was the song, "Turn the Cards Slowly."[5] "Hidin' Out" was released in November to coincide with WSM's yearly birthday celebration. Cline attended the event to promote the single and attended a performance of the Grand Ole Opry.[6] Despite its promotion, "Hidin' Out" failed to chart the Billboard Hot Country Songs survey.[7] The song was first included on Cline's extended play release, Songs by Patsy Cline.[8] It has since been reviewed by critics and journalists. In reviewing Cline's 1994 compilation, Golden Classics, AllMusic described the track as having "textbook honky-tonk, with shivering steel and plaintive fiddle."[1] In an additional review, Cub Koda noted that "Hidin' Out" would be "far better-suited to Kitty Wells, but Cline's approach is both musical and varied, given the sawing fiddles and paint-by-numbers backing."[9]
