I missed the jukebox call the other day, so here's mine a couple days late. The Fat Boy Rag is an old Bob Wills tune performed here by Asleep At the Wheel. The mandolinist doubling on fiddle is Johnny Gimble, once the single most requested session man in Nashville and a veteran of the Wills band in the late 40s. The older gentleman, seated and playing guitar, is Eldon Shamblin who played for Wills in the 30s and 40s and was viewed as one of the best on that instrument at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq4pO5Z7CAA
Crusty Old TV Tech here. Doggone it, missed the jukebox call. Excellent selections. You've got one selection from Viva Terlingua, how about the most famous one, "Up Against a Wall...". Or Blue Oyster Cult "Then Came the Last Days of May", classic Buck Dharma guitar and southwestern imagery. Or to blow your ever lovin' Texan mind with some South Louisiana classic fiddle, "Jolie Blon", any version from Doug Kershaw will do.
Crosby Still and Nash? Have you turned filthy, unwashed hippie on us?
ReplyDeleteDammit, Infidel, it was a REQUEST. They are filthy though, must be said. And Neil's bizarrely ugly to boot. Obvs must play more.
DeleteCredit where credit is due. David Crosby at around the 4:30 mark--
