For Hardcore Texans It is wonderful to share this with my college age kids. Jerry Jeff Walker was a favorite when I was in college many years ago. The Essence of Texas " Happily, this was one of the best pieces of advice I've ever received. Around the time that I was discovering bluegrass and country music (and making my first, furtive attempts at covering said material in a band), one of my bandmates suggested (actually, pretty much insisted) that I listen to "Viva Terlingua. Jerry Jeff's rich and gravely baritone is the perfect delivery vessel of this wonderful mix of his own material and the songs of Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn, Michael Murphy, and the immortal Ray Wiley Hubbard. Hubbard's "Redneck Mother" and Nunn's "London Homesick Blues" became instant classics, making their way into any aspiring country/outlaw band's repetoire, but Walker's bouyant "Sangria Wine," moody "The Wheel," and Clark's "Desperados Waiting for a Train" are all terrific, and, really, there's not a track that you'd want to skip over. Hearing "Viva Terlingua" always makes me smile. I'm betting it will do the same for you, too. where are you Viva Can anyone out there tell me where it is???. I am looking forward to being able to review my most recent purchase however after 5 weeks since despatch I am still waiting to recieve it. TAKES ME BACK Love it. Takes me back to my highschool days when I first heard it on vinyl. jerry jeff walker think of austin texas in the 70's. . cool longneck beer and tubing down the comal river. . . this album was popular than and now. . classics such as up against the wall redneck mother are still fun. . . a must for third coast music lovers.
