If I'm correct- he's responsible for the 'Western' in Country & Western music....

Hard to top this version from Waylon's (and Moon's) peak at the 1974 gig in Austin. In fact, I can't recommend the entire album enough. I seem to recall reading this performance of BWISTK was a not-so-subtle dig at Willie (who was in attendance that night) for his escalating popularity at the time.
I'll withhold comment on Mick's version. :-) Last edited by Sarc; 02-04-2022 at 01:24 PM.. |

Waylon was just cooler than snakes
. I didn't say Mick's version was any good.... just surprised to see them cover Waylon's BW's tribute song....I bet ya didn't like Mick driving through Bakersfield early on a Sunday morning either

Being from Tulsa, I’m very familiar with Bob Wills. Tulsa is home to the Cain’s ballroom, and Wills and his band more or less lived there during the late 30s and early 40s. https://www.cainsballroom.com/venue-info/history/ |

No Bob Wills… if you have that Willie record, all the others don’t matter.
There’s more than a little music history in Tulsa. Leon Russell had a studio there in an old church on third Street. Lots of bands have played at the Caine’s over the years. |

Leon’s church studio was supposedly restored last year, I haven’t been back to see it. They’ve got a lot of videos on YouTube.
https://www.youtube.com/thechurchstudio Here’s one local guy that had a decent hit in 1975 that was recorded at Leon’s place. The late Bill Pitcock played lead guitar for him, Susan Cowsill sang back up vocals. I always thought this song had a really cool guitar part. I would dearly love to find a way to go back in time and **** that short haired brunette in the audience, see if you spot her… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=txzh5mwgXFQ |
