But I AM American!!1 (just in a far away land)
I've been listening to nothing but Waylon for the last week or so! Honky Tonk Heroes I tend to jump around a lot cuz I'm mostly familiar Shaver's versions of them (what a perfect dude's tunes for Waylon to sing, though!) The Taker/Tulsa has been giving me a lotta joy, and the tile track from Singer Of Sad Songs has found itself on repeat more than few times, though I can't find the album to save my life (*COUGH* *HINT*) But if the rest holds up to that track in the slightest I imagine it's fairly essential. I'm curious to hear what the rest sounds like production-wise, too, that being the only track on the album not produced by Lee Hazlewood.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah! That one plays itself in mah head fairly often. Tyler refers up this thread to Michael Streissguth's Outlaw: Waylon, Willie, Kris, and the Renegades, which I carried on about over on Good Books About Music, incl this:We also get the influence of fuckin'-finally affordable and widely available cocaine (esp. after the War on Drugs made it more practical than bulky etc. ol' maryjane). Influence incl. on Waylon, who was already driven and drivin', with much more of the earlier zig-zag career than I'd realized (had the big country version of "MacArthur Park"!) Also quite the appetite for pinball and good cover material, which he could find even or especially on the shittiest-sounding demo tapes. Thought, as the author depicts, that the Outlaw hype was a crock, and of course he did sound more like a big ol' teddy bear, even then.

Still want to check some of those odd-looking pre-Outlaw releases---the earliest recordings I've heard were later 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.Also! I liked Waylon Forever, did not know it was part of this eventual release (thanks Wiki):In 1996, (Shooter) Jennings and his father recorded an album together. They called it Fenixon (a play on the words "phoenix" and "sun") but could not find a label to distribute it.[4] Some of the material was remastered and used for the album Waylon Forever. The full Fenixon recording was finally released by Jennings' label Black Country Rock in 2014.

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.

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?
