This girl, from Arkansas, showed up on the door step of my back yard recording studio in Houston Heights about 1982.

She had just written this song, was recording it on a demo, and tried it out for the first time at local folk club (Anderson Fair for those old time Houstonians) the night this was recorded.

She ain't left yet ...

I have an old unopened Shiner bottle like the one on the table.

Found Blackberry Smoke a couple years ago. Really like their stuff. Had a birthday recently and my kids gave me tickets to a concert and a meet and greet before the concert. Really excited about going.

I assume that's the Arlington show on April 14?

Damn, I wish I could be there. That song you just posted made me a fan.

1st time I heard this was from a ranger at a campfire at Philmont Scout Camp. I assumed it was original (it was in fact, ~10 years old- I was listening to oldies stations that decade) & I gave the ranger waay too much credit for being a songwriting star.

That's the one. Taking a buddy I have known since 1st grade. We always have a good time together.


This one gets me in the feels. Love the sad violin in this one. The violin player is Jason Isbell's wife.

I usually avoid anything with the words Honky Tonk. It's just one of those phrases that gets under my skin, but Waylon gets a pass. He was just that good.

Funny story by Ray Wylie Hubbard about how he came up with the song "Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother."

Thank me later .
But seriously, pay close attention to the Vocal stylings of Haley Rinehart and watch Puddles' expressions while she works. Use a large monitor and decent Speakers.

Puddles the Clown is freaking brilliant.

Must be an acquired taste.

This honestly isn't one of his better ones - it's the interplay between him and the tiny girl that's most entertaining. His Pinball Wizard/Folsom Prison mashups are brilliant. And he does a really strong cover of "Space Oddity", with an appropriately quirky video.

 

[Vaquero]

I'll trust you on that.
