Billy Joe Shaver wrote all the songs on the Honky Tonk Heroes album, one of Waylon's best. Very highly recommended that you get a copy if you don't already have one.
I've loved the album since I was a kid, Jim. My Uncle sent it to my Mother when it came out, he was in Denton, she was in the UK, and I've been listening to it ever since.
Sometimes I think it's the best country album. And right, BJS lyrical excellence. Just outstanding and, at the time, really new. Dam, sounds new to me today compared to the pablum we're... I won't bang on.
Ok, there is, but the evidence is muted.
ReplyDeleteGod weeps over Mexico.
ReplyDeleteProbably weeps over us, too.
