You know, Country & Western!
This ain't your Dad's country music. It's your Granddad's! None of that new Nashville bullshit either. This is where you'll find what I consider the best in Country (Classic and Alt), Folk, and Americana.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
A top 5 Waylon favorite.

Waylon Jennings - Chevy Van
Sammy Johns, the writer of this fine song, died last Friday at the age of 66. I love Sammy’s version, but saw Ol’ Waylon recorded it and thought I’d post it. It’s pure 80s and pretty much puts the nail in the coffin for the outlaw image. Unless his pervy molester comment at the end counts.

Waylon Jennings - Luckenbach, Texas (Back To The Basics Of Love)
Here’s to Waylon, Willie and the boys.
Recorded today in 1977.
The only two things in life that make it worth livin’
Is guitars that tune good and firm feelin’ women
I don’t need my name in the marquee lights
I got my song and I got you with me tonight
Maybe it’s time we got back to the basics of love
Let’s go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we’re livin’
Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys
Between Hank Williams’ pain songs and
Newberry’s train songs and Blue Eyes Cryin’ in the Rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas ain’t nobody feelin’ no pain
So baby, let’s sell your diamond ring
Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away
This coat and tie is choking me
In your high society you cry all day
We’ve been so busy keepin’ up with the Jones
Four car garage and we’re still building on
Maybe it’s time we got back to the basics of love
Let’s go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we’re livin’ got us feudin’
Like the Hatfield and McCoys
Between Hank Williams’ pain songs and
Newberry’s train songs and Blue Eyes Cryin’ in the Rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas ain’t nobody feelin’ no pain
Let’s go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Willie and Waylon and the boys
This successful life we’re livin’s got us feudin’
Like the Hatfield and McCoys
Between Hank Williams’ pain songs
And Jerry Jeff’s train songs and Blue Eyes Cryin’ in the Rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas there ain’t nobody feelin’ no pain
I’m telling you, if you’ve never been, get your butt to Austin and make the 2 hour pilgrimage. Everything about it is inspirational - the drive, the scenery, the “town”, the beers while watchin a band out back or inside if around the stove if it’s too cold, the drive over to Salt Lick BBQ afterwards. ALL OF IT.
Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson
Shame to bury this at the end of the show. Is it just me or is Ralph Emory a tool?
Waylon Jennings - You Asked Me To (Live on Pop Goes The Country, 1975)
