i like this so much better than Willie's, and probably better that the studio version from the unfuckwithable Willie & Waylon record

^^^ wow that clip is fabulous! (Used to play this song in a band, and toward the end of the night, after a few beers, those simple chord changes got challenging because of how long they hang.)

In those Waylon/Jessi clips he seems so weathered compared to her. Hard livin'...
Wiki says her mother was a Pentecostal preacher and her father was a racecar driver (which sounds like a Southern Culture on the Skids song!) Also never knew she was married to Duane Eddy.

wish a lot of his canonical/earlier stuff was easier to find

this song is crazy badass. he's going to beat the shit out of some punk who impregnated this girl and then skipped out on here. even though the girl still loves jackass dude and not waylon (who loves _her_ naturally).

that albums is p darn good! i was just listening to an lp from about the same time of all harlan howard jams, like that one a lot, too.
that tulsa song upthread is one of my favorites. i've been keeping my eye open for that taker/tulsa album for a while, figuring it would pop up sooner or later, but i might just have to shell out the damn ebay prices. that one and singer of sad songs always felt to me like key turning points before all the outlaw business went full-on

Harlan Howard's songbook is a goldmine
I don't have Singer of Sad Songs... I grabbed a whole shit-ton of albums from that dude that had the whole discography up awhile ago (which I assume has been taken down by now). Finding actual copies of any of Waylon's pre-outlaw era stuff is pretty hard though. Which is too bad cuz I think Waylon's late 60s stuff is my favorite.

yeah definitely
country seems like the one genre, oddly, that is really shafted in terms of internet distro - there aren't historical archivist blogs (well, not many) posting stuff, tons of things are out of print or never made it to CD at all, etc. bums me out.
― a dense custard of infinity (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 14 June 2012 16:09 (eleven years ago) link
i'd kinda lump this one with taker/tulsa and singer of sad songs, too, tho i like those two better.

I mean I do some periodic trawling for 50s and 60s stuff and it's usually pretty slim pickings
for example been looking online for this and never seen it anywhere. and no I'm not buying the CD twofer that has this and Coat of Many Colors on it (I already have Coat of Many Colors)

Still want to check some of those odd-looking pre-Outlaw releases---the earliest recordings I've heard werelater compiled on Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line, a '74 cash-in: mainly remember the title track and "Nashville Bum": "You can change a word or two and I'll give half of it to you," also about "eating ketchup soup." Pretty calm, just a leetle hopeful, a way of life. Good track.
Ketchup soup line ftw. I got this comp a couple months ago and it's good!
― Tōne Locatelli Romano (PBKR), Monday, 29 June 2020 21:27 (three years ago) link
Yeah, I think that, while he's trying to share, sell, get a little advance on publishing rights, he's having a power lunch of Ketchup soup---think that's how the soup reference fits into the verse. Right?
― dow, Monday, 29 June 2020 21:36 (three years ago) link
I think the song is one of his many cynically complaining about the Nashville/Opry game. He's dressing the way they want him to, singing the way they want him to, and writing the songs they want, but he still isn't making it and he's so poor he's got to eat ketchup soup and crackers. When he does write a hit, they make him give half the songwriting credit to someone else.
― Tōne Locatelli Romano (PBKR), Monday, 29 June 2020 21:57 (three years ago) link
yeah. I should just listen to the damn thing again, prob on YouTube, but seemed like it worked because of concise lyrics, Waylon-trademark catchy beat, and not too much self-pity, kind a "King of the Road" effect.
― dow, Monday, 29 June 2020 23:30 (three years ago) link
It's on the Nashville Rebel soundtrack album (alongside a cover of "Norwegian Wood"!), which is on Spotify.
Unlike a lot of other vintage Country stars, Waylon's actually pretty well covered on Spotify.

Man, can you all tell me where moments like the last 55 seconds come from on Honky Tonk Heros at the Sugarload, Maine show? Not the usual change up riff that he always ends that song with, but the thing they throw in at the end. Especially when the keyboard and fuzz guitar go back and forth like two times before they end it abruptly. You can find little outro moments like that in the live the shows, but this one is defiantly a particular sound from that decade in time. Were Waylon and his band just fans of what harder rock acts were doing at the time? Why don't you see stuff like that on his records when you hear about how he was specific about using his road band in the studio?
