My name is Ken and I clean Willie Nelson's under hole
I know you don't agree, but I think he's the king of country get the fuck out of
From the Ramona radio studios, it's the Travis Billy Ross outlaw country show
Mr. Billy Ross. All right. Welcome to the whole country show. My name is Travis Billy Ross

(00:29):

(00:50):
Today's show is brought to you by outlaw barbecue
Was ever heard of a bar. Remember everybody wants to party with salad. Yes, they gotta have the meat
Gotta have the meats

858 354 7712
sweet curbs
Yep, the under hole you spoke of in the ad. Yeah, his name was not Ken. I was just making that up
No, what's his name? His name is
Mark Erle win is that Austin, Texas?

(01:33):
Now you got to back us up a little bit. I was gonna say backstory. Yeah back
Us up a little bit dirty. It is not. Oh, okay. So so this guy
Continued so this guy did I thought it was gonna be a fun show
No, right. So this guy gets Willie Nelson's guitar once a year and he takes it and he cleans it
So Willie Nelson's a very unique musician because he plays the same guitar
He's played the same guitar forever and the name of his guitar is called trigger and it's very worn out. It's an old Martin guitar

(02:01):
Classical, but it's a very worn out old old guitar
And so it has the normal sound hole and the one in the center and then it's got the an extra hole underneath it
Where he keeps his fingers. It's like where the pick guard would be
So that's the under hole. So we weren't talking anything
Anything crazy for that? This is a PG show y'all

(02:22):
No, really. I really have you know the Ramona crowd. Yeah, there will be a disclaimer. Oh, yeah. Where's the disclaimer? We need that disc?
The views and expressions of the show are exclusively Travis and Kirby's

(02:45):
We may or may best on this show do not
Exhibit those of Ramona radio nor its affiliates. No, come on, man. That's funny
All right, Willie Nelson did a song with Beyonce. Oh, yeah good thing or bad thing bad really
Really? Yeah, I'm with them. Yeah. Well, I shouldn't say necessarily bad. There's a place for a crossover

(03:08):
But let's see. Let's check it out. There's no Beyonce in that
Oh, yeah, I was like, I was just about to say are you messing with us right now?

(03:34):
Oh, man
It's kind of unique opening here in that. Yeah, welcome to the smoke hour on K and T. R. Y. Radio, Texas
Oh, yeah, right. I see what you did there. Now for this next tune, I want y'all to sit back and hail
And go to that good place your mind likes to wander off to and if you don't want to go

(03:54):
You turned in the K and T. R. Y. Radio, Texas home of the real deal. Is he telling people to get high so they'll enjoy the song?
That's the only way that's what I got so far. It's a long intro, isn't it?
That's a long intro
You're on to some real good shit. That's why I'm here

(04:24):
Now what do you think it took to take a 90 year old guy and say hey listen
We're gonna do a song together. Just trust me on this. Just trust me, right?
Well, you could probably ask Willie Nelson anything and the answer is gonna be yes because he's stoned all the time
Can we smoke? Yeah, great idea. Okay. So wait, we're doing what? I can smoke, right?
Oh, that's true

(04:45):
Welcome to the smoke hour on K and T. R. Y. Radio, Texas
You know my name? No need to know yours
Actually, you know what? I'm sitting here looking at this
I'm looking at this for a second and I'm looking at the time frames on this and
It actually ripped through all of the Willie Nelson aspects because each one is only 30 seconds long
What so Willie Nelson did here? Didn't he not do a song with?

(05:08):
Beyonce I don't know Beyonce grabbed a whole bunch of people. I'm gonna consult the Oracle real quick check the Oracle
Yeah, I have no idea. So what do you think about Willie Nelson?
King of country or no?
He's out there who might be I
I okay. It's controversial in my opinion. We talked about this before
George straight George straight

(05:30):
That that's come up. I love George straight, but I'm telling you he's not the king of country, right?
We got to know the criteria my idea like
He hasn't he doesn't really write all of his songs
Like he just gets songs that are already pre-written and then he just performs and that to air number ones than anybody, right?
Pretty much the song is from what I googled what you just played. It's not really a song

(05:51):
That was the end of it. Oh, it's just a radio ad. Yes. I guess that's all you can get Willie Nelson to do. Yeah
He's old. Well, he's 90. He probably had to go take a nap after that and then he was like I'm done. Yeah, maybe
so
So going on George straight not the king of country even though they call him King George. I don't think statistically he is

(06:13):
But did we just write which statistics
Sure. Has he written any of his song? I don't think he has I mean, I know he stopped like
I know no way you can get there without right. I know a hangover
Oh, your own junior has written most of his songs, but he's gotten co-writers and stuff
But on Hank senior opened the door Hank senior did he opened the door to all settle down

(06:34):
I'm getting all you're getting all worked up
Hold on doesn't take much
This is it this is an important debate we're having it is that's true
It is because I don't believe it that George straight is the king of country. I like George straight. Don't get me wrong
I like his songs like the music
But to be titled the king of something like that. I don't you got it. So so criteria is singer songwriter. Yeah

(07:00):
Yeah, and you want to be called the king I do agree you have to write and be able to play right for sure
Yeah, let's play this one. Let's hear it
All right
Baby all I got is this feet up leather bag

(07:24):
And everything I own don't fill up half
But don't you worry about the way I pack all I care about is getting back real soon
A goodbye kiss is all I need from you

(07:49):
West Virginia down to Tennessee
I'll be moving with the good Lord speed
Carrying your love with me
It's my strength for holding on
Every minute that I have to be gone
I'll have everything I'll ever need

(08:10):
I'm carrying your love with me
On a lonely highway stuck out in the rain

(08:34):
Darling all I have to do is speak your name
The clouds roll back and the waters part
The sun starts shining in my heart for you
You're right there and everything I do

(09:00):
Cause I'm carrying your love with me

(09:23):

(09:47):

(10:11):

(10:42):
Alright so that was a 1997 hit, George Straight.
And we did discover he did write some of his songs,
none by himself, either with his son or another co-writer,
but he did write some songs.
What was the song?
One of them was Every Little Honky Tonk Bar.
That's a good song.
That's a fun song.
Yeah, I like that one. That's a good one.
Alright, well let's talk about the King of Country then.

(11:05):
Hank Williams.
Right?
But let's not get that one.
You're dismissing that one.
Is there a response option for like people listening?
Like if we say, who do you think is King of Country? Let us know.
We can do that.
Is there a way?
I don't think we could do that.
Some kind of a voting thing?
Well why not? I mean I guess she can email us.
Do it on social media or something, Facebook.
And what is that email, Eric, if they want to?

(11:28):
Ramona Radio?
Contact.
Contact at RamonaRadio.com.
There you go.
Cool. Right on.
Alright, so the King of Country, Hank Williams, 1951.
He wrote a song called Hey Good Looking.
Let's go ahead and listen to that one.
Hey Hey Good Looking, what you got cooking?

(11:54):
How's about cooking something up with me?
Hey sweet baby, don't you think maybe
we could find us a brand new recipe?
I got a hot rod for it and a two dollar bill

(12:18):
and I know a spot right over the hill
there's soda pop and the dancing's free
so if you want to have fun come along with me
say hey good looking
what you got cooking?

(13:04):
Hey good looking, what you got cooking?

(13:28):
I'm free and ready so we can go steady
how's about saving all your time for me?

(13:50):
No more looking, I know I've been cooking
how's about keeping steady company?
I'm gonna throw my date book over the fence
and find me one for five or ten cents
I'll keep it till it's covered with age

(14:13):
cause I'm writing your name down on every page
say hey good looking
what you got cooking?
Alright so that was the King of Country Hank Williams

(14:34):
right there in my opinion.
We're gonna play a song written by a guy named Willie Nelson.
It was really made famous by a woman named Patsy Cline
in 1961, Crazy.

(14:55):
Crazy, crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue

(15:20):
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
and then someday you'd leave me for somebody new

(15:45):
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wondering, what in the world did I do?

(16:11):
Crazy, for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying, crazy for crying
and I'm crazy for loving you

(16:49):
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue

(17:15):
I knew that you'd love me as long as you wanted
and then someday you'd leave me for somebody new

(17:40):
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wondering, what in the world did I do?

(18:06):
Crazy, for thinking that my love could hold you
and I'm crazy for loving you

(18:35):

(19:00):
I'm crazy for loving you

(19:51):
The preacher man says it's the end of time
and the Mississippi River, she's a gold drive
The interest is up and the stock market's down
and you're only getting mugged if you go downtown

(20:14):
I live back in the woods you see
A woman and the kids and the dogs and me
I've got a shotgun, a rifle and a four wheel drive
and a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

(20:40):
I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
Make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain't too many things these old boys can't do

(21:03):
We grow good old tomatoes and homemade wine
and country boy can survive
Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
Those women and old boys raised on shotguns

(21:26):
We say crazy, we say ma'am
If you ain't into that, we don't give a damn
We came from the West Virginia coal mines and the rocky mountains and the western skies
And we can skin a buck, we can run a trot line

(21:49):
I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just Hillbilly

(22:12):
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
and he's taught him to be a business man
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
and I'd send him some homemade wine

(22:34):
But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For forty-three dollars my friend lost his life
I'd love to spit some beach nut in that dude's eyes
and shoot him with my old forty-five, cause a country boy can survive

(22:56):
Cause you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
Those women and old boys raised on shotguns
We say crazy, we say ma'am
and you ain't into that, but don't give a damn

(23:20):
We're from North California and South Alabama
and little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck and run a trot line

(23:42):
Country boy can survive
Alright, Hank Williams Jr. Bo Cephas
So after 9-11 Hank Williams Jr. took that song and renamed it

(24:04):
America Will Survive
Hank Williams Jr. was also nominated for four Emmy Awards
for the original song he wrote for the Monday Night Football theme
Oh yeah?
Yeah
Are you ready for some football?
That's a great one
Now who does it now? Cause it's not Hank
No, I think Carrie Underwood is doing it now
but she's actually not doing that theme song

(24:25):
she has a different one
I think it was actually...
Oh, I have to look that one up
Everybody on the other side of the radio is freaking out
yelling at the radio right now
Yeah, they're telling me right now
Well, again, we have technology literally in our hands
Alright, so in 2006 this guy, it's Hank Williams III

(24:47):
put out this song called Country Heroes
Let's listen to that thing real quick

(25:20):
Well, oh, what a feeling
That burns down low
When you ain't got nowhere to turn or nowhere to go
It makes me feel like sometimes
I'm out of control

(25:44):
So I'm gonna get wasted with all my country heroes
And I'm drinking some George Jones and a little bit of coke
Hacker G's in my misery
And Waylon's keeping me from home

(26:08):
Hank's giving me those high tides
My cash is gonna sink it low
And I'm here getting wasted
Just like my country hero

(26:48):
Yeah, I'm drinking that whiskey out of that glass
And if that ain't country, well, boys, you can kiss my ass
Cause I wanna hear them old songs

(27:12):
Nothing of the new
Cause this might be the last time I'm gonna see you
So I'm drinking some George Jones and a little bit of coke
Hacker G's in my misery

(27:35):
And Waylon's keeping me from home
Hank's giving me those high tides
My cash is gonna sink it low
And I'm here getting wasted
Just like my country hero
I'm getting wasted with all my country heroes

(28:03):

I'm gonna go get you your whiskey cubes
Those don't melt
Oh yeah, I love those
Yeah, I think I've got some
Yeah, those are pretty killer
Oh, like the actual rocks that you freeze, like they're

(29:40):
Yeah, but they're like stainless steel, frozen
Pretend ice cubes, they still clink
Which is important
They still clink, do the rocks clink in glasses?
Yeah, they would, but the nice part is
Once, I mean obviously they only stay cold for so long but they don't melt
Yeah
Gotcha
They don't water down your whiskey
Right, it doesn't water down the whiskey
Nobody wants water down whiskey
Nobody wants that stuff, I got Coors Light for that

(30:02):
That's your beer bag, dude
Yeah, I got my Coors Light, I got my whiskey, got my smokes
It's a good day in Ramona
Good day in Ramona, alright so
I mean take a quick sip of my water
Gotta stay hydrated
Gotta stay hydrated
And by water he means Rocky Mountain water
Oh yeah

(30:23):
The mountains were blue
That's that Colorado Kool-Aid
Do you remember that song?
Oh I love that song
We might play that later on
Shoot
So how about George Jones?
Oh he's so cool
George Jones man
I like George Jones
Yeah, he did a song called White Lightning
Well he probably drank a lot of white lightning cause

(30:46):
Word, bye
The man was married four times
I know, they called him No Show Jones cause he would get hammered
And pass out and not be able to show up
Man
Really?
Well that's also why they called him The Possum
Cause like Possum was dead
They couldn't wake him up
They couldn't wake him up to go on stage
That's not an nickname you want
No, Possum, no
No, you don't want that nickname

(31:10):
Right now he's just vying for King George
No, King George is George Strait but not really
This is George Jones, he did a song called
Oh yeah
This one?
Yeah
That's an oldie
This isn't George Jones though is it?
Yeah, 1959

(31:31):
It's the original George Jones
Way back in the day
Before he played Possum
Did he remake it?
Yes, in his North Carolina going back in the hills
Did he re-record it later?
Yeah, as far as I know
Well there's a lot of it that's the same but this is not the one that I've heard
This is the original
Yeah
Look at Kirby, she knows all the words

(31:53):
Oh I like that
Oh that's funny
Yeah I've not heard this version, that's funny
Yeah this is the original 1959 George Jones

(32:29):
Shoo my gun, white light
Well achievement team in the Revengers too
Searching for a place to remain as proof
They were looking, trying to book it
Happy help by cooking
Shoo white light

(33:05):
Well I seen his liquor came and he said I'm tough
I think I want to taste that parbo stuff
He took one just to love and drank it on down
I heard him moaning as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty prison, happy storm's prison
Shoo white light

(33:26):
Well achievement team in the Revengers too
Searching for a place to remain as proof
They were looking, trying to book it
Happy help by cooking
Shoo white light

(33:53):
I stopped off at the quick sack
For some beer and cigarettes
The old man took my money
As he stared at my corvette
He said I had one just like her son
In 1963
He'll a man down at the bank
To curve from me

(34:16):
Oh she was hotter than a two dollar pistol
She was the fastest thing around
Long and mean every young man's dream
She turned every head in town
She was built and fond to handle sun
I'm glad that you dropped in
She reminds me of the one I loved back then

(34:53):
Then I handed him my keys and said
Here, take her for a spin
The old man scratched his head
And then he looked at me and grinned
He said son, you just don't understand
It ain't the car I want
It's the brunette in your bed that turned me on

(35:16):
I had one that was hotter than a two dollar pistol

(35:40):
Lord, she was hotter than a two dollar pistol

(36:05):
I was sitting in this beer joint down in Houston, Texas
We was drinking Colorado Kool-Aid and talking to some Mexicans

(36:26):
And we was, what's that you say?
What's Colorado Kool-Aid?
Well, it's a can of Coors brewed from a mountain stream
It'll set your head on fire and make your kidney scream
Oh, it sure is fine

(36:48):
Yeah, we was having ourselves one of them real good times
But you know every beer joint that you've ever been in
Some big mean drunk who just ain't got no friend
Sure enough, he wants to fight

(37:09):
Yeah, he's gonna whip everything inside
Well, he took him a big cold swallow of beer
And he walked over and spit in my Mexican friend's ear
Sure enough, that made my buddy real mad
That's something like he ain't never had

(37:35):
Well, sir, he pulled out a big long switchblade knife
Quick as a whistle, he began to slice
And that big mean drunk stood back, his face full of tears
Looking down at the floor in one of his ears

(37:56):
Ha, he cut that thing off even with a sideburn
You might say the little Mexican fella, he just didn't give a dirt
But he was a gentleman about it
He bent over with a halfway grin, picked it up and handed it back to him

(38:18):
He said, now, big man, you get the urge to spit a little beer
Just open up your hand there and spit it in your own ear
It won't be no trouble that way
That's what I heard him say
And I said, barmaid, set us up around that Colorado Kool-Aid

(38:42):
While you're up there, bring this big fella here a box of Band-Aids
Now, let me tell you, if you're ever riding down in South Texas
And decide to stop and drink some Colorado Kool-Aid
And maybe talk to some Mexicans
And you get the urge to get a little tough
Better make damn sure you got your knife-proof ear mud

(39:06):
Hey, ain't that right, big man?
I said, ain't that right, big man?
Aw, hell, he can't hear
Not on this side anyway, he ain't got no ear
Hey, barmaid, bring us all a big tall glass of that Colorado Kool-Aid
How about it?

(39:31):
How you doing, big man?
Still got your ears there in your hand?
Man, what a song. That was written by a guy named Johnny Paycheck, 1977.
Speaking of Johnny, who's the next guy we're going to talk about?
Speaking of Johnny.
Speaking of Johnny.
Come on, Johnny. Johnny Cash.

(39:53):
Johnny Money.
Johnny Money. So that's funny, there's Johnny Paycheck and then there's Johnny Cash.
I want to be Johnny Venmo. How do we do that?
Is it at TBR? We're going to have to get your Venmo.
Johnny Venmo.
No, it's at Sweet Curbs and then it gets over.

(40:16):
Gotta have the gatekeeper.
Oh my God. Alright, so in 1969 Johnny Cash released this song.
It was called A Boy Named Sue. Let's listen to that real quick.
Well, my daddy left home when I was three and he didn't leave much to ma and me.

(40:38):
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of boo.
Now I don't blame him because he run and hid,
but the meanest thing that he ever did was before he left he went and maimed me Sue.
Well, he must have thought that it was quite a joke and it got a lot of laughs from lots of folks.
Seems I had to fight my whole life through.

(41:02):
Some gal would giggle and I'd get rid and some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head.
I'll tell you, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue.
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean.
My fist got hard, my wits got keen.
Roamed from town to town to hide my shame.

(41:24):
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars.
I'd search the honky-tonks and bars and kill that man that gave me that awful name.
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July and I'd just hit town and my throat was dry.
I thought I'd stop and have myself a groove.
At an old saloon on a street of mud, there at a table, dealing stud, sat a dirty maned shoe dog that named me Sue.

(41:51):
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad from a worn-out picture that my mother had had.
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old and I looked at him and my blood ran cold and I said,
My name is Sue, how do you do? Now you're gonna die.

(42:14):
Yeah, that's what I told him.
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes and he went down.
But to my surprise, he came up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth and we crashed through the wall and into the street,
kicking and a-gouging in the mud and the blood and the beard.

(42:36):
I tell you, I've fought tougher men, but I really can't remember when.
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss and he went for his gun.
I pulled mine first, he stood there looking at me and I saw him smile.
He said, Son, this world is rough and if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough.

(43:00):
And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along.
So I give you that name and I said goodbye and knew you'd have to get tough or die.
And it's that name that helped to make you strong.
Yeah.
He said, Now you just fought one hell of a fight and I know you hate me and you got the right to kill me now.

(43:21):
I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But you ought to thank me before I die for the gravel and your guts and the spit in the eye,
because I'm the s*** that named you Sue.
Yeah, what could I do? What could I do?
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun, called him a paw and he called me a son.

(43:43):
And I come away with a different point of view.
And I think about him now and then every time I try and every time I win.
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him Bill or George, anything but Sue.
I'm doing this thing.
Oh man, what a good song. Good old Johnny Cash.

(44:09):
You know what? I think we'll play another Johnny Cash song. This next song is called Ring of Fire.
Alright, for you guys.
This is a legend song.
Who do you all know? There's a little pop quiz here.
Pop quiz.
Who actually wrote this song Ring of Fire?
Who did you write it for?
Your mom?
You better get out of here Sweet Curbs.
No, it wasn't her.
That's the next segment of the show.

(44:30):
We're gonna take every song that has whiskey in it and we're gonna replace whiskey for your mom.
Your mom.
Right, how about your mom?
I feel like Sweet Curbs actually knows the answer. She's just talking with you, man.
I do.
Ring of Fire was written by June Carter Cash.
June Carter? Oh yeah, you're right. You win. What do you win?
You win a mason jar full of whiskey. Are you drinking out of a mason jar?

(44:52):
A mini mason jar.
Sure am.
That's a Ramona lowball glass.
Molly and Ramona.
Ramona lowball.
Out of a full on mason jar.
I'll drink it out of whatever receptacle you give me as long as it holds it and keeps it cold.
Alright, so in 1963, Ring of Fire came out as the single Johnny Cash.
Hold it off.

(45:13):
It was written by June Carter, yes you're correct.

(45:44):
I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire

(46:22):
The taste of love is sweet

(46:45):
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild

(47:07):

written by a guy named Johnny Bush and it was really made famous by a guy named
Willie Nelson in 1972 it's called Whiskey River but wait all right we're

(49:11):
moms river are we playing along let's play along for a second I feel like I

(49:34):
need to hand Thomas's guitar right now
whiskey
I'm drowning in a whiskey river Bathing my mem'rid mind in the wetness of its soul

(50:13):
Feeling the amber current flowing from my mind And weaving heart you left so cold
Whiskey river, take my mind

(50:35):
No letter of mem'rid taught you me Whiskey river, don't run dry
You're all I got, take care of me

(51:17):
I'm drowning in a whiskey river Bathing my mem'rid mind in the wetness of its soul
Feeling the amber current flowing from my mind And weaving heart you left so cold

(51:48):
Whiskey river, take my mind No letter of mem'rid taught you me
Whiskey river, don't run dry You're all I got, take care of me

(52:31):

(53:02):
I've got a good woman at home Who thinks I do no wrong

(53:28):
But sometimes, Lord, she just ain't always around
And you know that's when I fall And I can't help myself at all
And I get whiskey bent and held bound

(53:54):
Play me some songs about a ramly man Put a cold one in my hand
Cause you know I love to hear those guitar sounds
But don't you play I'm so lonesome I could cry Cause I'll get all balled up inside

(54:24):
And I'll get whiskey bent and held bound

(54:50):
Sure enough about clothes and time About stormed out of my mind
And I end up with some honky tonk special I found
Just as sure as the morning sun comes Thinking of my sweet girl at home

(55:19):
And I need to get whiskey bent and held bound
Play me the songs about a ramly man Put old Jim Beam in my hand
Cause you know I still love to get drunk And hear country sounds

(55:44):
But don't play your cheatin' heart Cause that'll tear me all apart
I get whiskey bent and held bound
You hank song always make me feel down

(56:26):
Well I started on the whiskey pretty early this morning That's alright, I was up all night
But I passed out before the sun came up I really wanted to see one of those
I know that's no way for a man to behave With a mortgage due and a baby on the way

(56:52):
But somehow I made it to where I'm at It's been a livin' as a matter of fact
I get a bad attitude from being tired and running around
I never ask for anyone to say they like my sound I've never been a part of any musical scenes

(57:13):
I ain't just talkin' Nashville if you know what I mean They don't write about me in their magazines
I don't ask for new reviews on the songs that I sing I've never had a lot of friends and I'm alright by that
But people keep on comin' back, raisin' hell With the hippies and the cowboys

(57:42):
They don't care about no trends, they don't care about songs that sell Yeah, tomorrow I'll be gone
So tonight everybody just sing along Raisin' hell with the hippies and the cowboys

(58:07):
I've been staying on the outside for all of my life But I like the view, I'm not gonna lie
Yeah, the yuppies and the hipsters and the wannabe scenes That ain't down on me
I like two dollar beers, I like three dollar wells And some old honky tonk bar I know by the smell

(58:33):
And some old drunk on a barstool on a murlhacker too That's my kind of room, raisin' hell
With the hippies and the cowboys They don't care about no trends, they don't care about songs that sell

(58:58):
Yeah, tomorrow I'll be gone So tonight everybody just sing along
Raisin' hell with the hippies and the cowboys

(59:36):
Raisin' hell with the hippies and the cowboys They don't care about no trends, they don't care about songs that sell

(01:00:04):
Yeah, tomorrow I'll be gone So tonight everybody just sing along
Raisin' hell with the hippies and the cowboys I'll be raisin' hell with the hippies and the cowboys

Oh I love me some Outlaw BBQ, so that last song you guys just heard was a guy named Cody Jinx
So did you guys do it? Did you guys try out the thing? Swap out the word whiskey for your mom
For your mom
It works every time it's hilarious

(01:02:40):
Alright we're gonna do this one song here
This song was written by a guy named David Allen Coe in 1981
Alright and then so he did it in 1981, he wrote it and in 1983 George Jones took it over
And re-recorded it and became number two on the country charts, pretty wild
The name of the song is called Tennessee Whiskey

(01:03:03):
I will say I think Chris Stapleton is the one that really put it on the map and is the version that everyone knows
And his came out in 2015 and he rearranged it to the melody of Etta James' I'd Rather Go Blind
I think that was at the CMA's, he did that with Justin Timberlake and then it just took off
It took off

(01:03:24):
You know I didn't know a lot about David Allen Coe until I met you
Oh yeah?
And this guy's a writer, like some of the greatest songs in country music
So that's the thing
Like this guy's wicked, he's a wicked writer
He did write a lot of songs, David Allen Coe
Not a lot of people unless you're super into country music know about
But they started it, right? They were the ones that opened the doors and wrote this stuff

(01:03:49):
Heck yeah
Now I'm dying to hear it
So many ways to be the king of country in my world anyway
So let's hear David Allen Coe's version of this song, Tennessee Whiskey
I used to spend my nights out in a bar room

(01:04:18):
Liquor was the only love I'd known
But you rescued me from reaching for the bottom
Brought me back from being too far gone

(01:04:44):
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy

(01:05:11):
And I stay stoned on your love all the time
I looked for love in all the same old places

(01:05:39):
Found the bottom of the bottle's always dry
But when you poured out your heart, I didn't waste it
Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high

(01:06:06):
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy

(01:06:33):
And I stay stoned on your love all the time
I stay stoned on your love all the time

(01:06:54):
Yep, so that was the original Tennessee Whiskey by David Allen Coe
Alright, that's a great song and all, but let's talk about, we've talked about the Kings
Let's talk about the Queens
Alright, we're a 50-50 thing here
The girls are getting in on the action
So the Queen of Country, alright sweet curbs, what's your, what's your tech?
You're a hard Hank Williams for me, Queen of Country, I don't care, Dolly Parton

(01:07:19):
Dolly Parton
Okay, what about Patsy Cline?
Loretta Lynn
Patsy Cline's great, but Dolly's Dolly
Dolly's still going, I gotta give you that, like, but Loretta Lynn
You know what I love about Dolly? They wanted to induct her into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
And she said, I've never made a rock album, so what did this lady do?
Went out and made a freaking rock album
She made one, she made one

(01:07:40):
She made a rock album
That's amazing
There are no limits, honestly, yeah, to what she's doing, whether it's pop, country, rock, like she's just continuing
And especially
Just spread
Like I said before, with her, Loretta Lynn, coming from like literal nothing, like
Yeah
Poor as, poor can be to these amazing women that have like shaped country music for women

(01:08:05):
I can get on board with that, I mean her first song was in like 1959
59, yeah, Puppy Love
Puppy Love, yeah
Yeah
Wow, what, she was like 11?
Yeah
What's this new
Gosh
This is Dolly
No
No
It is?
No
It is?
I'm happy about that
That's her new album
No, shut that off
Get out of my studio

(01:08:27):
That's bullcrap
Hey, Willie did it too, so it's a train, it's okay
I mean, by the time she got into like Jolene in 74, what Joshua was before that, but ever since then, no, she, I agree with you
Alright, Curbs
You know what's cool about Dolly Parton, she was in a couple of movies, what was that movie?
Nine to Five
Nine to Five

(01:08:48):
Nine to Five
That was the Queen of Central
Little Whorehouse of Texas
Oh yeah, Little Whorehouse of Texas
Little Whorehouse, yeah
Yeah
Yeah, man, yeah, she was an actress
But Nine to Five was like, that was huge
I remember my mom watching that movie all the time
And I think Dolly writes a lot of her songs
I remember watching that movie
I'm not saying every single one, but she writes, or at least participates in most of her songwriting
Absolutely

(01:09:09):
Yeah
There we go
Oh, there we go
Good little Dolly
This was her 80s breakout
Yeah, oh, I remember
80s was an awkward time for music, in my opinion
Yeah
When did the Queens come out though?
I think they, the 70s, the 70s were like when I think, well, if we're gonna go, I agree with the girls, I agree with the girls, those are the Queens

(01:09:32):
But I think their biggest hits were like all in the 70s
Yeah, those
I mean Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton
Yeah
Tanya Tucker
She was in the 70s
Crystal Gale
Crystal Gale
Crystal Gale, remember Crystal Gale
I couldn't tell, make my brown eyes blue
Yeah, she had like the longest hair in the world, I remember that
Yeah, well, and Loretta Lynn was kind of mid 60s is really where she broke out, but

(01:09:53):
Oh, yeah, there it is
Oh, come on
Who doesn't know this song?
Everyone knows
Oh, yeah
Crystal Gale
Fun fact, Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gale are cousins
I had no idea
Are they really?
I did not know that
No way
Kirby knows everything
Kirby, where do you find this information?
Kirby is like the Encyclopedia Britannica

(01:10:14):
You have like the Oracle in your pocket
I do, but that one I didn't have to look up, I knew that one on my own
Yeah, she knew that one
Crystal Gale, as a kid growing up watching Crystal Gale, the only thing that mesmerized me about her was the length of her hair
Yeah, I know
It went like down to her heels
Oh, yeah
No, everybody loved her hair
Yeah
That was always a thing
So cool

(01:10:35):
Heck yeah
All right
All right, sweet Kirby, so what do you want to play, a Dolly Parton song or a Crystal Gale song? What would you want?
What would you like to hear?
Dolly Parton, obviously
Dolly
Dolly is her queen of country
But I did have to consult the Oracle and I was mistaken, they were not cousins, they were sisters
Oh, that's even closer
What?
I had no idea
Holy crap
All mediums

(01:10:56):
Loretta Lynn was Crystal Gale's older sister
I did not know that, wow
So are we going old school puppy level, are we going Jolene, where are we going with Dolly?
All right, Kirby, call it, what are we playing?
Oh, now you're putting me on the spot, there's so many Dolly songs
I know, there's
Within that whole range
She's got so much to do
What's your favorite Dolly Parton song?
Now, you and I were talking not too long ago, Kirby, about her coat of many colors

(01:11:21):
Oh, do it
Oh yeah, that's beautiful
Strikes a feeling, right?
You remember where you were that day
Yes
Me too, I love that song
Here, we can each tell our little story
That's the from nothing to everything
Yes
I remember being with my best friend in like seventh or eighth grade in her mom's minivan with her aunt
And this song came on and we were just belting it out and I couldn't tell you where I'd heard the song before to know it

(01:11:45):
And that was like every time, that was our song forever after that
So, Shark Topper, 1971
All right, there you go
70s
1971
1971
There you go
All right, let's hear it
Back through the years I go wandering once again

(01:12:07):
Back to the seasons of my youth I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my mama put the rags to use There were rags of many colors
But every piece was small And I didn't have a coat

(01:12:31):
And it was a way down in the fall Mama sewed the rags together
Sewing every piece with love She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of As she sewed she told a story
From the Bible she had read About a coat of many colors

(01:12:56):
Joseph wore and then she said Perhaps this coat will bring you good luck and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it And mama blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colors that my mama made for me Made only from rags but I wore it so proudly

(01:13:24):
Although we had no money I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors My mama made for me
So with patches on my britches And holes in both my shoes

(01:13:45):
In my coat of many colors I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing And making fun of me
And oh I couldn't understand it For I felt I was rich

(01:14:09):
And I told them of the love My mama sewed in every stitch
And I told them all the story Mama told me why she sewed and how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes But they didn't understand it and I tried to make them see

(01:14:33):
That one is only poor Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money But I was rich as I could be
Made just for me

(01:14:56):
I feel so bad I gotta worry mine I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind Don't blue by you

(01:15:19):
Saving nickels, saving dimes Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times Don't blue by you
I'm going back someday Come what may to blue by you

(01:15:50):
Where the fox are fun And the world is mine
Oh I'm blue by you
Where those fishing boats With their sails afloat
If I could only see That familiar sunrise

(01:16:14):
Through sleepy eyes How happy I'd be
Wanna see my baby again Wanna be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again Don't blue by you

(01:16:43):
Saving nickels, saving dimes Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times Don't blue by you
I'm going back someday Come what may to blue by you

(01:17:11):
Where the fox are fun And the world is mine
Oh I'm blue by you
Where those fishing boats With their sails afloat
If I could only see That familiar sunrise

(01:17:34):
Through sleepy eyes How happy I'd be

(01:18:02):
Oh that boy of mine By my side
The silver moon and the evening tide Oh some sweet day
Gonna take away this hurting inside
When I'll never be blue My dreams come true

(01:18:32):
I'm blue by you
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

(01:18:57):
And did I hear you say He was meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her baby
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy

(01:19:22):
Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark haired man
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
The rediest one you ever laid eyes on

(01:19:48):
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
Promised to retake her for his pride

(01:20:12):

(01:20:37):

(01:21:01):

(01:21:26):
Well, I was born to coal miners' daughters

(01:21:48):
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor but we had love
That's the one thing that daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar

(01:22:09):
My daddy worked all night in the Van Lier coal mines
All day long in the field of hoeing corn
Mommy rocked the babies at night
And read the Bible by the coal oil light

(01:22:31):
And everything would start all over come break of morn
Daddy loved and raised their kids on a miner's pay
Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard every day
Well, I'd seen her fingers bleed

(01:22:55):
To complain there was no need
She'd smile in mommy's understanding way
In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear
But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair

(01:23:19):
From a mail-order catalog money made from selling a hog
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere
Yeah, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter

(01:23:40):
I remember well the well where I drew water
The work we'd done was hard
At night we'd sleep cause we were tall
I never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler

(01:24:01):
Well, a lot of things have changed since way back then
And it's so good to be back home again
Not much left but the floor
Nothing lives here anymore

(01:24:22):
Except the memories of a coal miner's daughter

(01:24:52):
All right, we're back!
That was Loretta Lynn, Coal Miner's daughter
That song inspired the movie with Sissy Spacek by the same name, Coal Miner's daughter
When did that?

(01:25:13):
What's her name? Sissy Spacek?
Sissy Spacek?
That's a tongue twister
Sissy Spacek
And ironically, I think you mentioned during the break here that Crystal Gale and Loretta Lynn
I did say they were cousins and I looked it up. They are sisters in fact. Loretta Lynn is Crystal Gale's older sister
Isn't that wild?
That's wild. That's pretty wild. I never knew that either. That's pretty interesting to know. Good to know

(01:25:36):
I always think it's wild when there's these like family musical groups like that everyone was just blessed with an amazing voice and you're like how did that happen?
I know what are the odds of one person being successful?
Like the Osmonds, the Jackson 5, like all these family band partridge family
Even on the sports side, like who is it? Serena and Venus Williams
I mean what are the odds of having two Wimbledon winners in one family?
That's wild man

(01:25:57):
Or who is the, I mean I'm not a big fan but Taylor Swift's boyfriend, him and his brother both were in the Super Bowl
Oh yeah
Like those sports like
Oh what's that?
Kelsey?
Kelsey, Travis Kelsey
Yeah, yeah
All right so
Not this Travis
No, not me, not Travis
So what we're gonna do now, we're gonna have this little
He can't hurt his hands playing football, he's gotta keep them ready to play

(01:26:19):
Exactly, we're gonna play this little game here, just a quick segment real quick
We're gonna do a couple of shots
Shots, okay
Shots real quick, so grab your shot glass sweet curbs and Cassie and Eric
Got it
All right, got it
We're gonna do a shot, if you're sitting at home listening, go ahead and grab your shot
Wait, what's the game?
Oh, I'll tell you in a second, let's do a shot first, come on now
Okay, well we can do a shot
I love a shot first
All right, shots first, here's to America, cheers

(01:26:42):
Cheers
That was America
Salute
Oh, I was gonna say, we don't use to say America?
America
We don't use cheers, we use salute
All right, so this game we're gonna play, we're gonna try this real quick
And sweet curbs, put your phone down because no cheating
Don't just say me
Actually, everybody put your phone down
Phone's in the middle
Just because I'm good at this game
No, whatever
Don't make it sound like a cheat
Hold on, I gotta, I gotta, I need a water, hold on

(01:27:04):
There you go, Rocky Mountain Water
I need that Rocky Mountain Water
Okay, so what's gonna happen here is Eric's going to play one second of a very intro of a song
And we have to guess it
Let's see if we can do this
You ready for this sweet curbs?
Ready for this Cassie?
He can't do one second, he's gotta do like one to five seconds
Curbs got me by a landslide

(01:27:25):
So I'm gonna need the dog's help over here
I know the songs that only take one second
Okay, so yeah
So it'll be first to guess
Okay
And I'll let you know
So you either have to name the artist or the song
Either one
Or
Okay, I like the or
I can't do the both
Yeah
I mean it happens quick so we're gonna do this
Let's fire it up
I'm not even sure I can do the or
Alright, so let's start off somewhat simple

(01:27:47):
Okay
Jolene
I think we tied on that one
Jolene
Kirby's gonna come across the table
Okay, but do we need a tiebreaker then?
So artist and year
Dolly Parton
I don't know that you know
No, I'm like, I knew the artist would be too simple
So you gotta get the year
I would have never guessed that we would be able to tie on something like this

(01:28:10):
It is Jolene
Yeah, it's Jolene
Yep, yep
I knew the artist
Okay
Alright
Let's try this one, ready?
Let's do it
We're starting off simple
Okay
We're gonna work our way up
Gambler
Oh
Kenny Rogers
Oh, there you go
Alright
Got it
Yeah
Salud
Man, that's a good song

(01:28:31):
Salud
That's a great song
Salud to that
Alright, you ready for this one?
Yep
Rose Garden
Oh, Kirby
See
Oh, Kirby
Oh yeah, this is
Making it happen
Making it happen
Damn it
Okay
Good job, Kurt

(01:28:52):
What do we have, two to two?
I got zero
Well, one of them was a tie and then there's one to one
I can't play
Cause I'm literally looking at the screen
No, you can't play
And I'm out
You have the literal screen in front of you
And I'm out just cause my brain does not work that way
So it's really just a Kirby and Travis show
Alright, here we go, ready?

(01:29:13):
Alright
This should be easy
Next
Like someone, we're starting easy
Okay
Devil Went Down to Georgia
Charlie Tanner's Band
I got it
I actually might have got that
I said both though
I said artist and song
No, Travis, you know the rules
I know
A tie goes to the lady
I know, she wins
A tie goes to the lady
Bullshit
I'm not sure that's the rule

(01:29:36):
But she did name the band as well
She did name it
I did too, but I would have done it too
But you beat me too
It's all good, you won
You win
I'm like, it's not about ladies and gentlemen here
Alright, we ready?
Yep
Here we go
Only two things, Merle Haggard
Oh, you're wrong
Waylon Jennings
Oh yes
What's the name of the song?
Anne Willie Nelson, isn't it?

(01:29:57):
Oh yeah, this is Waylon Jennings and
Lucanbach, Texas
Lucanbach, Texas, yeah
It is Lucanbach, Texas
It's a little bit of a trick question
because it's the Highwaymen
Is it the Highwaymen?
It is the Highwaymen
Okay
Lucanbach, Texas reminds me
that the Gut Check Fitness Next 5K
is in Lucanbach on June 1st
Oh, that's right
We're planning to be there
We're trying, we'll see

Yeah, so Ramona Radio is probably
going to be in Lucanbach, Texas
supporting another 5K run for our vets
Sweet
Which is kind of cool
Well, we know Michael Dean Goodrich

Oh, that's awesome
Alright, keep going here

Alright
Set Him Up Joe by Vern Gotson
I know a guy who sings this all the time
It was also redone by a guy
named Jenny Goss
I'm like, it's in his setlist, dude
Yeah

(01:31:01):
Is this like one of your most requested songs?
I see you Eric, that's fine
I love this song, man
You can stack the deck, it's fine
I know, I'm like
Is this Vern Gotson or?
Okay, I'm winding him up for the next one
Alright, let's see
You know they called him The Voice, Vern Gotson
because he had such a smooth voice
They just called him The Voice

(01:31:22):
That was his nickname?
Yeah
It's like some people are called
The Possum
I'd rather be The Voice
People that don't show up to shows
they call them Possum
People that have smooth voices
No show, Joe
They call them The Voice
That's funny
Alright, we ready for another one?
Here we go
Tell Me About the Good Old Days, The Judds
Oh, that's a good one

(01:31:44):
That's a great one
I love this song
That's a good one
You know what, let's listen to this
Alright
It's not Tell Me About the Good Old Days
It's Grandpa
I know
It is
She's right
It's Grandpa
That's the bonus
UN bonus points
Yeah, I think that's double points
Alright, here we go
Grandpa
Tell me about the good old days

(01:32:08):
Sometimes it feels like
This world's gone crazy
Grandpa
Take me back to yesterday
When the line between right and wrong

(01:32:29):
Didn't seem so hazy
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
Stand beside each other calm what may
Promise really something people can't
Not just something they would say

(01:32:54):
Families really bow their heads to pray
Daddies really never go away
Oh, Grandpa
Grandpa

(01:33:35):
Grandpa
Everything is changing fast
We call it progress
But I just don't know
And Grandpa

(01:33:57):
Let's wander back into the past
And paint me the picture
Of long ago
Lovers really fall in love to stay
Stand beside each other calm what may

(01:34:22):
Promise really something people can't
Not just something they would say
And then forget
Oh, Grandpa

(01:34:44):
Oh, Grandpa

(01:35:23):
Mmm

(01:36:12):

(01:36:42):
difficult. Someone may be sleeping on the couch tonight. This is why Eric and I are not
participating. All right here we go we're gonna start getting a little bit more
harder. Okay. All right here we go. White House Road. No, Copperhead Road. Oh he's

(01:37:03):
got he's got. It was song artist. Yeah he's right he's got it. He sings it
though. Copperhead Road. It's a bonus. For the bonus. I know his name but I can't
think of it. Earl? Steve Earl. It is Steve Earl. I got it. Yes. So I win two right that
gives me two. It kind of helped him out so I'm going you get one. So now we're

(01:37:25):
tied again. All right we're tied. Or we can amp it up by saying you have to get the song and
the artist. No no no no we're good cuz I'm gonna make this harder. Okay. We're getting in there.
So I won that one. All right ready for the next one? All right.
Here we go. When you say nothing at all. Allison Krauss. No she's got it. Nothing at all but. Is it

(01:37:46):
Allison Krauss and Keith Whitley? It is Keith Whitley. I think she did a duet maybe with him. They duet.
They duet it. Yes. Well I was kind of right. Back in the lead. I think she's one up on you now.
Who was the original of this? Keith Whitley. This Keith Whitley. Yeah yeah back in the 80s. Okay.

(01:38:07):
All right here we go we're gonna continue ramping it up.
Tennessee Walls? No. I could sing the whole thing. Have no idea who the song or the artist is.

(01:38:30):
There's a lot of there's a lot of iPhones being thrown at walls right now. She's a fraud Brian.
I can't believe you found a stumper. It is Ann Murray. I'll share the point with him because he didn't.
What's the name of the song? I don't know. Can I have this dance? It is. I'm gonna have a point.

(01:38:55):
Finally on the board. I'm kind of impressed with a half a point. I figured it out because there's this whole episode of the family guy where the baby is obsessed with Ann Murray.

(01:39:18):
And then he finds out she didn't write any of her songs and he ties her up and like she's a fraud Brian.
She didn't even write those songs. She didn't write those songs. Oh you did that perfectly honey. She's a fraud Brian.
So as soon as he said that I was like Ann Murray. And you got it right. Come on man. Come on man.

(01:39:49):
All right you ready? Next one.
Crazy yellow moon coming up. Who the hell is this? Who is it?
Losing in the dark. Nitty gritty dirt man. I knew the lyrics. I think she needs a refill on the whiskey.

(01:40:10):
No that name is just a tongue twister. Give me your little mason jar. Shane even got no rocks left.
Your Ramona. I said that like a true redneck. Shane even got no. That's a good song though.
I like this one. This is quintessential early 90s country. This was high school for me. You know I'm old.

(01:40:39):
All right we ready for the next one? Next. Everybody feeling good? Yep. All nice and warmed up? Yeah we're ready.
All warmed up here. Okay here comes the next one.
Is this Kenny Rogers? No. No this is a woman.
No. It's not Linda Ronstadt. No. I know this song. I can sing it. I can sing it. Roseanne Cash?

(01:41:07):
It is Roseanne Cash. Oh it is. It is Roseanne Cash. Hold on I know the song before it gets to the chorus.
It's a great song. Seven year ache? It is. Oh yeah. How do I do a clap end of the morning thing?
Like I'm impressed. Nicely done. Nicely done. Sweet Curbs is there any ice in that thing? No.

(01:41:29):
All right ready to get a little bit harder? Someone can fix that. Kirby's like. Kirby's killing it.
I told you I have my niche if you play anything outside of country music I wouldn't know none of it.
Here's our next one.

(01:41:52):
Alabama. The tough one is not Alabama.
Did you find a one hit wonder? No they're not a one hit. They were big.
They got a lot of songs. Damn who is this? I can't even think of who it is. Sounds like Alabama. I know.

(01:42:14):
Well they've got the right harmony for that. Yeah.
You might have stumped us on this one. I'm in awe. Totally stumped. All right who is it? The Bellamy Brothers.
I was gonna say that not because I knew but because you had said earlier about the Bellamy Brothers.

(01:42:39):
I almost said it.
All right ready to get. All right one more. One more. Yeah one more and we should.
All right here we go. Good old boys. Next song here we go.
I'm still going no point for that one sorry.

(01:43:04):
I know this song. I know the song. Oh come on.
Did it did it did it did it get too far down the line on you guys?
No like I I know this song too like I can sing it but I have no idea who the artist.
John Deere Green. Yes that's the name of the song so you get you get the point.
For the bonus who do you think it is? Joe Diffie. It is Joe Diffie.

(01:43:28):
I think I think Kirby totally pulled ahead here. Holy shit. Sweet Curbs you beat me.
All right let's listen to it. Let's listen to this. I'm done. I found it. I'm done with this
bullshit game. No one likes a sore loser. All right all right. He's like I'm not a sore loser.
I need some more some more ice for my whiskey. I know I need more ice for my whiskey. We'll get

(01:43:51):
back on track here. Okay here we go. We're keeping in the theme of what we're doing here.
All right. The Outlaw Country Show. Okay. This is all outlaw. Outlaw. Official certified outlaw.
Okay. All right you're ready? Ready. Here we go. Good old boys. Nope. Lord it's the same old tune.
Are you sure hanged on it this way? Let's listen to this. Waylon Journey. Turn it up.

(01:44:14):
I like that. Turn it up. All right here we go. Here we go.
Lord it's the same old tune. Fiddle and guitar.
Well do we take it from here? Rhinestone suits and new shiny cars. It's been the same way for years.

(01:44:39):
We need to change.
Oh
somebody told me when I came to Nashville, son you finally got it made.
Hey old Hank made it here. We're all sure that you will but I don't think Hank done it this way.

(01:45:23):
Oh
oh
my young life away.
Tell me one more time just so I'll understand.
Are you sure Hank done it this way?

(01:45:45):
Did old Hank really do it this way?
Thought I've seen the world with a five-piece band.
Looking at the backside of me.
Singing my songs and one of his now and then.

(01:46:06):
But I don't think Hank done them this way.
No.
I don't think Hank done them this way.
Take it off.

(01:46:45):
He's bound to die loaded up and truckin'.
Are we gonna do what they say can't be done?
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I'm eastbound just watch on bandit run.
Keep your foot hard on the pedal.
Some devil mind them brakes.

(01:47:07):
Let it all hang out cause we gotta run to make.
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta.
And there's beer in Texarkana.
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes.

(01:47:30):

(01:47:53):
Let it all hang out cause we gotta run to make.
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta.

(01:48:14):

(01:48:36):
Old Smokey's got them ears on.
He's not on your trail.
He ain't gonna rest till you're in jail.
So you've got to dodge him, you've got to duck him.
You've gotta keep that diesel truckin'.
Just put that hammer down and give it hell.

(01:49:00):
Eastbound to die loaded up and truckin'.

(01:49:39):
Well I was thumbin' from Montgomery.
I had my guitar on my back.
When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac.
He was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hollow eyed.
He said it's a long walk to Nashville, would you like to ride?

(01:50:07):
When I sat down in the front seat, he turned on the radio.
And them sad old songs coming out of them speakers was solid country gold.
Then I noticed the stranger was Ghost White P.E.A.R. when he asked me for a light.
And I knew there was something strange about this ride.

(01:50:30):
He said, Drifter can you make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues? Can you mourn the blues? Can you bend down guitar strings?
I said, boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
Cause if you're big star bound let me warn you it's a long hard ride.

(01:50:59):
Then he cried just south of Nashville and he turned that car around.
He said, this is where you get off boy cause I'm going back to Alabama.
As I stepped out of that Cadillac I said, Mr. many thanks.
He said, you don't have to call me Mr. Mr. the whole world called me Hank.

(01:51:22):
I said, boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?

(01:51:45):
He said, boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?

(01:52:07):
If you're big star bound let me warn you it's a long hard ride.
You know you got a lot of competition out there now.
It's not like it was in the 50's when I was here.
I mean you got Waylon Jennings, Waylon Nelson, Guy Clark, Billy Joel Schaeffer,
David Allen Coe, and you even got my son.

(01:52:34):
Oh man.
Oh man, one of my favorite David Allen Coe songs right there, The Ride.
Alright so in conclusion to our radio show today.
So who won?
The Outlaw Country Show. Oh yeah.
I think Sweet Curbs won. I got my ass beat.
I won't make you sleep on the couch.
You did a good job Sweet Curbs. I'm pretty impressed with your knowledge.

(01:52:55):
You were in the crown out tonight.
Speaking of crowns, what's the conclusion on the King of Country and the Queen of Country?
Did we come up with?
I don't think we'll ever have a real answer.
We're never going to have a real agreement.
However it is the TBR show.
Alright so what's yours on the Queen? Dolly Parton.
Dolly Parton hands down.

(01:53:17):
I gotta go with you on this one.
I agree with that too. Good old Dolly Parton.
What do you think Eric? Same.
Alright who's the King then?
King, Hank Williams.
Which one?
Senior.
The door opener, not the third?
He was the door opener.
So Hank Jr. would be?
You know my opinion is the ultimate king statistically.

(01:53:41):
George Strait, come on man.
No, not even George Strait.
Garth Brooks.
You know who it is.
He thinks it's Garth Brooks.
It's Garth Brooks.
Oh God.
I know.
That's that whole.
Come on man.
Come on.
That's a whole pop country crossover.
But again back to the criteria for a king.
The difference between Garth and Hank is I have to say,
I mean Garth has been around for a long time.

(01:54:04):
The 80's.
But Hank's been around even longer.
Like the sustainability I guess or the influence.
Which Garth has been influential.
Garth really came out and became like you know his album No Fences.
What was that?
Garth made country cool again.
No.
Garth too.
I'm not a huge Garth Brooks fan but I would agree with that.
He took down that wall and crossed over that first time that pop country barrier.

(01:54:29):
Well so Garth Brooks, when you think of Garth Brooks,
what song do you think of?
Friends in Low Places.
No.
That's.
No.
Not for him.
The dance.
The dance.
Yeah that's personal for him.
But yes most of us I think would go Friends in Low Places.
Like that was like the pop you know the hit song you know Friends in Low Places.
Which was a good song back then.
But the dances.

(01:54:50):
The dance is a good song.
It's a slower song.
I can imagine that would be good.
That's one of those like.
Wedding or.
Heart wedding father daughter.
No what's the other one?
Standing Outside the Fire.
I like that song.
They're all good.
Standing Outside the Fire.
There's no back Garth Brooks song.
I do like the one song where.
Thunder Rolls.
Oh yeah.
Thunder Rolls.
Thunder Rolls.
What's the other one?
Papa Loved Mama.
That's another memory.

(01:55:11):
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
My brother would sing it in the back seat of my parents car and we had no idea what the
song meant or anything that he's killing his wife because she cheated and the whole.
Right.
Well and that's Thunder Rolls also right.
Like there's a lot of.
But we all sang it like it was a happy family song.
You know the Thunder Rolls was a good song and they and you know there's a secret verse
to that song.

(01:55:32):
Yes.
That they wouldn't.
He would only do it in concert.
Yeah they wouldn't.
The record album or label whatever.
She went back inside.
Didn't.
Took care of business.
TBR maybe you should.
Oh speaking of that.
So the words go like this.
She runs back down the hallway through her bedroom door.
She reaches for the pistol kept in the dresser drawer.
She tells the lady in the mirror he won't do this again because tonight will be the last

(01:55:55):
night.
She'll wonder where he's been.
How dark is that.
That's why they did it.
It's freaking fantastic.
I mean like that's that's the honest.
I mean really we're talking about country music old school outlaw country.
Right.
Yeah.
I mean how.
So that wasn't able to be put on the album.
Imagine that.
That was in like the late 80s.
Right.

(01:56:16):
Imagine that today.
Like what are we listening to on the radio or on albums and whatnot today.
So many of our current country artists like Carrie Underwood.
She had a lot of songs about that.
Dixie Chicks.
Earl.
Right.
There was a lot of that Carrie Underwood did a lot of the.
Forget the name of the song now but.

(01:56:38):
Oh.
The tornado and the.
Oh.
And then there was the other one that you did about her abusive husband and the abusive
husband.
Yeah.
I mean there's a lot of Cadillacs.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well so let me ask you this then is outlaw country a genre or is it a timeline.

(01:57:00):
It's a lifestyle bro.
It's a.
I think I like that.
I do.
I think I like that response.
Like it's a lifestyle.
It's a.
I think country has evolved but there's there's a whole new movement.
Yeah.
Like if you look at even like Kimmy Bitter coming up in the San Diego music scene she's
bringing it old school.
Yeah.

(01:57:21):
You heard her new song.
That's cool.
That's what I'm digging right now.
I like the.
I love this.
You know the newer like like Cody Jinx you know or you know like the newer guys who are
trying to you know imitate or the.
And you know.
The older style music.
That's what I like.
You know I like.
What's the guy.

(01:57:42):
He was in.
He played at the main stage.
Creed Fisher.
Creed Fisher.
Man that guy is awesome.
That guy is really good.
I like this song.
So this song by Kimmy Bitter is hit number one in the country charts last week.
Nice.
Let's hear it.
Take me back to that tried and true.

(01:58:07):
Sound of rhythm and blues.
I tell you old school it makes my old soul feel brand new.
Yeah take me back to the different sounds.
It's got a lot of rhythm in it's soul.

(01:58:31):
A timely one to Jackson singing every guitar had a twang.
And Elvis played a thing called rock and roll.
I'm just a dang fool for that old school.

(01:58:53):
Gunfire and balance cut me deep but your room can make me weak.
Vable put a tear in my beard.

(01:59:18):
Give me some of that morning wine of the red lip.
A Pepsi client.
I just fall to pieces when I hear.

(01:59:44):
Yeah I just straight come alive when the needle drops on a 45.
I really love the way the records spin.
If I want a rebel holding brass I put my money on Johnny Cash.
If it don't make them like they did back then.

(02:00:07):
Makes my old soul feel brand new.

(02:00:33):
Man that was pretty good.
So it's kind of cool right?
I love that style because I like that old guitar.
It's kind of like that Johnny Cash with that lick or Waylon Jennings.
I wouldn't call it outlaw though and I love Kimmy Bitter but to me she's more like bluegrass.
Her album My Grass is Blue.
I think it's more country roots.
It reminds me of listening to an older genre.

(02:00:58):
Older music.
Do you think there's a desire for people to go back to those roots?
There's a big breakout right now like country is just doing this big split right now.
After that pop side.
Almost R&B poppy side.
After Beyonce kind of redid some things.

(02:01:20):
That's causing a big split in country music.
So there's old school style.
It's been going on for a while.
Like I was saying like Creed Fisher, Cody Jenks, even Jamie Johnson.
But he's been around a long time.
But he didn't really become really big until a few songs later on in his career.
But he actually wrote a lot of songs.

(02:01:42):
Jamie Johnson did.
He wrote a George Strait song.
What's the song that he did with...
Give It Away?
Yeah.
Give It Away.
Oh yeah that's a great song.
Yeah.
Just give it away George Strait.
But Jamie Johnson actually wrote that song.
We didn't even know who that was back in the day.
Now he's coming up.
Just like Chris Stapleton you know.

(02:02:04):
He wrote a lot of songs back in the day that he was never famous for.
And then finally he started doing his own thing.
Well it's like this song by Chris Stapleton.
It's pretty outlaw.
It's a little crossover outlaw country.
Rock.

(02:02:26):
Definitely a crossover with rock.
This reminds me of like Stevie Ray Vaughan.
That style.
I'll say unpopular opinion.
I like many genres of country.
I like country rock.
I like bluegrass.
I like outlaw country.
Classic country.
Not a big fan of what's on the radio right now.

(02:02:48):
Not a big pop country fan.
But you know what's really cool is that for those that are into music,
you'll find most people in the music are super eclectic anyway.
I mean to pigeonhole people into A music,
you're going to find it's pretty interesting.
It's true.
But if we're talking about outlaw.
You know what would be really fun is if I put you against a reggae band.

(02:03:09):
Oh yeah.
Now that would be funny.
I think that's happening.
Now that would be funny.
We're going to wrap this up soon.
But I don't want to go away without mentioning that.
Because that's going to be cool.
For sure.
So fill me in.
So on July 13th here in Ramona at Red Swats and Brews,
we're going to do a little battle of the bands.

(02:03:31):
And I haven't been to a battle of the bands since I was like 13 years old
when I lived in South Carolina.
And they used to have this little concert hall where I lived in this little town called Aiken.
And they had a little battle of the bands.
That was when I first started playing guitar.
Did they do different genres?
No, they didn't do anything like that.
And it was a bunch of us teenagers just getting together, just making noise.
It was fun.
But it wasn't anything like about what's going to happen July 13th.

(02:03:55):
That's at Red Swats and Brews.
At Red Swats and Brews.
And who are it's dirty confetti playing with?
Yep, my band Dirty Confetti.
So country versus reggae.
And you guys might have heard this little band called Ocean Natives.
One day.
They're a bunch of reggae guys.
Yeah, they're super good.
So it's going to be a fun time, man.
If you're not doing anything July 13th, come on out to Red Swats and Brews.

(02:04:17):
So we got a little bit of this.
It's going to be awesome.
It's a little bit of a confetti happening.
Here we go.
Speaking of outlaw country.
Uh huh.
It's a great song.
Travis, it's a great song.
It's one of my favorites.
It really is.
Now, I'm expecting you guys to crack out, you know, a little bit of reggae on your side.

(02:04:40):
Yeah.
Are you going to give it a go?
I think so what we're going to do and the thing I think we're going to discuss this here in the near future,
we're going to go song for song.
So they're going to do a song, we're going to do a song.
We're going to have two bands set up and we're just going to go back.
Oh, here they are.
There's Ocean Natives.
I want to see Travis get down to this.
I want to see Travis do a little One Day.
Yeah.
I love this song.
Oh, I was thinking more like Red, Red Wine, but.

(02:05:03):
No.
This is 2020.
Yeah, this is a song by Ocean Natives.
2020 by Ocean Natives.
Great song.
It's an original.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a good jam.
They got a long intro in this one.
Well, I love the I love how much music they bring into this.
Like they've got horns and guitar.
They've got a great horn section.

(02:05:25):
Yeah.
Horn guy.
Garrett.
Garrett, yeah.
Well, yeah, but they've got more than one.
And Wolfgang singing.
Yes.
And Wolfgang.
I cannot tell you how absolutely excited I am for this because I know Cassie and I, we're very eclectic people and we love reggae and we love country.
To have them both in the same show and to just watch you guys just have fun with this.

(02:05:49):
Yeah.
I can't even.
I'm so like.
This is going to be a sellout.
This is going to be huge.
I'm really excited for you guys.
And the thing is, it's a free show.
That's.
Get out of here.
They ain't going to be free next time.
Well, this is the first one we're doing.
It's totally free.
You just come on to Rats, Wats and Brews and hang out in the back patio and listen to this jam.

(02:06:12):
I like free.
It's totally free.
Come on out.
Yeah.
It's going to be cool.
Yeah.
All right, my friend.
There'll be a tip bucket, I hope.
Oh yeah.
You know.
So we'll probably have two tip buckets.
I like free.
One for the country, one for the reggae.
Oh.
And who does that?
Maybe that's how we win.
No.
And I'm going to MC this event, right?
Yeah, you're MCing, right?
Oh, man.

(02:06:33):
I'm excited.
Putting on the whole thing.
Heck yeah.
Yeah.
I'm going to put on my circus ringleader outfit.
He can barely talk about anything else.
I'm going to tell you.
I'm so excited about this.
He's so excited.
I'm so excited about this.
That's going to be killer.
It's going to be a fun day.
All right, my friend.
We're almost out of time.
Yeah.
So let's talk about what's coming up next.
All right.

(02:06:54):
So you got another, you got a guest host coming up.
Are we going to get Kirby again?
Yes.
I think Kirby is going to be one of the fixtures here.
I think she's Sweet Curbs.
Not Kirby.
We don't know her as Kirby.
Oh yeah.
We better just get a third job.
She's going to be one of the ones.
And this is the Outlaw Country Show.
We're going to do this every Sunday.
So we'll see you all next week.
