I still have that cassette somewhere in "the archives". It spent a lot of time in my car's cassette player in '87 or so. IIRC, it was recorded when he was 17 or something ridiculous like that. In retrospect it's not that great, but the title cut's got a decent hook.
Oh yea, that is him... recognize the face, but about 20 years older when I first saw him :-)
I saw him play at a tiny little club in JC a few years back and just loved him.
Oh, it's him.

I stayed there once. The room had no window in it. There were curtains, and when you opened them there was a magnificent view of cinderblocks.
OCDHG - Was perusing your songlist dealie there courtesy of Zep. Is that Jimmy Davis formerly of Jimmy Davis & Junction? Edit: Never mind. I answered my own question. It's him. I had no idea he was still recording. He's had a bit of a stylistic departure in the last 23 or 24 years.
OCDHG - your mix is awesome! The first half reminded me of all those pics you and your husband posted on your road trip. It's a pretty good soundtrack of a roadtripper's life. The second half was a bit more loose to interpretation, but rounded everything out really well. What a great listen! Thank you for sending one my way!

Ten years now since the lights went down I was coming out from the secret suite The name was fame but her spark was fine Her shadow left to follow me From the poor oil changer that fades away A message from a diamond and she's smoking hot He thought he had a handle but the load went down Busted up found and broken out In the dim chalky light Another half damn moon I lost, turned, packed, and I knock into a roller With a note and the news The showboat motel casper night The river's high and losing I'll watch your flaming figure fly And burn on out at the ruins This fellow belts out a warning Of some spanish house I'd known Cut to bone Quick to the cue

Yeah, and it's not that cool. *dump* Used to be the fancy place tho, when it was new and before there were so many national chains.
Those lyrics don't make any sense even when you know that's a real place but hey. Eric will be thrilled.
Yea, Buckner is different. I think he just likes the sounds of words. Which is kinda cool, and it works for him I guess. Stream of consciousness free association stuff, I think.
I used a VERY liberal interpretation of my theme (wishing for home, being away from home, traveling back home, leaving home, running away from home, etc) to include songs that just reminded me of home. Johnny Too Bad and VBL were two of those.
sorry sorry sorry I mean on the Steve Earle disk it doesn't fit. I loved it on yours... good segues in and out.
... only one of those was something you'd sent me! Amazing!
Good Morning Aztlan Cripple Creek Will You Return Johnny Too Bad (and I must say I never really cared for that track in context on the disk... just doesn't fit but here it's great) Take Me Home (which of course everyone knows and thanks to Bill most of us know this version) Powderfinger 1952 VBL Goin' Goin' Gone
So I guess I know 8 out of 20 but I only have6.
