Classic Country Thread

[Bad Gopher]

I think you hit it on the head-I feel like anyone that was in the John Prine galaxy possesses that kind of ethos. Not that he was the progenitor of that movement (I read a book some time ago about the outlaw country origins and he was brought into the fold by the likes of Guy Clark and Jerry Jeff Walker) but Prine was definitely a connector between generations of outlaw/alt country.

On the eclipse trip last year (same trip where my buds and I went to those dance halls) we went to the chili place in Austin that Guy Clark sings about, and we had Mad Dog Margaritas. Step by step, getting closer to be ready to die.

For the longest time, I was clueless that it was Prine singing on this song.

I only saw Jerry Jeff Walker perform once, but so glad I didn't miss out on seeing him completely.
