OT: Jackie Greene

One of the up-sides of having an XM radio in the shop, is that you get
to hear stuff you would never hear from mainstream media, but you get
to see who's doing what.

I listen to XM 12 (new country) quite a bit. I had heard this one song
a few times and really liked what I heard.

Now...(please put away your daggers) this one song... has haunted
me... then I found it. I'm So Gone, by Jackie Greene. They don't write
like this anymore lately.
Dig it up, find it. It's pretty darn good.


You see.. I KNOW there's a bunch of us here in the Wrec, who love good
music. I needed to share this.

Can't seem to find Tex Ritter's "Blood On The Saddle" on iTunes or
Limewire.
If it comes on XM12 please MP3 it (if a song is olde enough it has the
potential
to become New again).

Oh, and I'm still looking for that old classic
"I kissed her hand.
I kissed her lips
and
I leave
her behind for you"

as well as
"She had freckles
on her but
she was pretty"
(Songwriters either need to learn to use punction
or how to spell)

I don't know that one, but I often play this one: (Seals & Crofts)

Chorus: Dust on my saddle, mud on my boots.
A coupla empty saddle bags except for two old suits.
I'm tired and I'm hungry, worried as can be.
Last night I saw a poster and they're still after me.
They claim we were in Clinton last year in the month of June.
They said on the night of the 17th in Katy's old saloon.
A man was shot in cold blood in a friendly poker game.
I don't know how it happened but somehow I got the blame.
Repeat chorus.

Well I've worked up in the gold mines and I've logged up in the hills.
Come Spring I'd drive the herds up, come Fall I'd work the mills.
Well I've done most ev'ry kind of work from letter A to Z.
I guess I'll be a-ridin' now the past is chasing me.
Repeat chorus.

Six years now since that fateful day my ridin' days have ceased.
I'm hidin' out in Kansas now, they think I am a priest.
I'm carryin' a Bible instead of a .45.
Rememberin' that poster sayin' "Dead or Alive."
Repeat chorus.

The Sunday sermon's over, I look out towards the bar.
Several men are comin', one has on a star.
Well I guess this time they caught me, runnin' ain't no use.
This robe will never stop them, they think they know the truth.

But now the star is speaking, he says that I am free.
These years I spent a-runnin', they didn't have to be.
Well they caught their man six years ago right after I left town.
My ridin' days are over now and I can settle down.
Repeat chorus.

Dust on my saddle, mud on my boots.
A coupla empty saddle bags except for two old suits.
I'm tired and I'm hungry, lonely as can be.
I'm bound for Carolina, and my fam

For those millions of you who believe anything Robatoy says there is a
teaser track at www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f3J4IL3Yhk. It's worth a
listen. It would be interesting to hear it minus the synth.
