Country Music - Honkey Tonk - Rockabilly & Lonesome Cowboy Blues

[SomeJackleg]

when i was a kid 8 9 or 10, i went shopping with one of my anuts. was singing this song and she told me to stop, said i sound like white trash, just made me sing it louder. won't ever forget that and she hasn't either, i sing it every time i see her. except i'd add a extra yeah yeah.




here's a treat, rockabilly style

[SomeJackleg]

couple of my favorite rockabilly, and covers.


original, for some reason there are folks think buddy holly did this song, fact is the crickets didn't record this until after he died, it was written by the guy that took his place on lead vocals and guitar and who was a friend of holly's and off and on band member before his death.

also there have been a butt load of covers, there's another i like done by the clash.




and one of the more active rockabilly groups, that still reunite to tour and record.






just a side note, one of my favorite reference to buddy holly was when sam beckett went back and was a vet in texas and had a kid that helped him take care of animals who would always sing to them. on this show he didn't leap until the end when the kid who was named buddy was singing a song to a piglet and sang piggy sooie, sam told him to change it to peggy sue.

one more for today, My Maria, always been a favorite






and as far as i'm concerned one of the best covers ever done for any song, except maybe Blue Bayou, when the original artist says that the song now belongs to cover artist that's hard to beat. hey i may have to post a couple of roy orbison tunes. any way,

[SomeJackleg]

said i may have to, so here they are,

his Blue Bayou,





and the super rock a billy band, years ago a read a story that harrison and lynne came up with a story about being related and only surviving members of a accent traveling minstrel tribe. i can't find it now below the video is the only one i can find that even hints they are related.

The Traveling Wilburys were a supergroup consisting of George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. Harrison came up with the name of the band while the five of them were recording together in a studio. The band members each took on a pseudonym: Harrison was “Nelson Wilbury”, Lynne was “Otis Wilbury”, Orbison was “Lefty Wilbury”, Dylan was “Charlie T. Wilbury, Jr.” and Petty was “Muddy Wilbury”. My Baby was released as a single in 1988 and was written by Harrison.

Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin
Back to the ways of Pooh,





She wouldn't make two mouthfuls of sandwich meat
Looked like the kind of girl who'd drink
More than she'd eat
Still and all, her legs were long
Guess I'd better slide on over and see what's goin' on

Bench seat.  Made me emotional.  Life’s full of twists and turns, this song will hit you hard in the end.
