Oh yeah hes cabal af. Pretty sure his music is in some Disney films; not that it implicates him entirely but it rubbed my gut wrong. The guy always felt like a country Madonna to me. Lots of fan girls not enough twang, passion or sorrow. Didnt feel like... music
I don't think Hank done it this way.
Waylon. Cannot. Be. Topped.
Yes. Especially when he gets on that rolling picking thing he does with his git-ar. Nobody plays like that.
But, also, Merle.
Merle at Austin City Limits
And a duet with his hero Marty Robbins (Merle named his son Marty because of him).
EDIT: I need to add in this version of "Devil Woman" where Merle does his impression of Marty with Marty sitting right next to him. It's very funny.
And a fun little one showing how versatile he was.
But back to Waylon, who is this young fresh face?
The only Daddy that walked the line.
Thanks, DJ Marvin. That’s some legendary tunage right there. Believe me when I tell you can guarantee I saw that ACL the night it aired, I was raised right in Texas. And you know what sucks?! “Country” music has sucked for so long that when Waylon died, it took KID ROCK to mention it at an awards ceremony not long after. And this was when Kid was still young and dumb. Man, you don’t know what you got til it’s gone
Cannot should be 2 words, if only for an extra period & the effect of your beautiful sentence! Lol
Upchurch and gangstergrass just sayin
And for those poor souls who haven't really ever heard real country music, start here (the concert from which the song above is taken).
The Highwaymen Live in Las Vegas
Did you ever hear his version of Brooks & Dunn's "Brand New Man"?
Here it is.
After I saw that I realized those lyrics might be about Lucifer. Yipe.
Do tell how you interpret that
Well, the whole town's talkin' 'Bout the line I'm walkin' That leads right to your door
I saw the light, I've been baptized By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes I'm born to love again I'm a brand new man
I realize it's probably a song about falling in love with an attractive woman. Do note, interestingly, that female pronouns are not ever used in this song to describe the object of his affection. And when Keith Urban sang it it took on an unsettling new possible meaning. We all know that in the music industry, the old story (from Robert Johnson and even before) is that the price of fame is to meet the Devil at the Crossroads and sell him your soul, and this was Brooks & Dunn's first hit song.
Ahh shit thank you for ruining them so well! I was skeptical that you were reading too much into it, but you explained it perfectly and I cannot unsee/hear it now...
