Flatlanders C/D Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely, Butch Hancock S/D

Have totally imagined JDG singing “Hard Hearted Hannah.”

i just put it together that JDG plays smokey in "the big lebowski" ...

^ha!

Missed the chance to say I was going to mark you a zero for that.

At some point I was getting certain scenes in The Big Lebowski mixed up with others in Kingpin and couldn’t remember who was in which.

Kind of amusing to me that I can imagine what Jimmie Dale Gilmore would sound like singing, say, “Saginaw, Michigan” and then I actually hear him do it and it sounds just like I imagined and even more so. So good.

Aw man, she was great. A Flatlander at heart and then some.

Oh yeah, and Jimmie Dale's high school sweetheart-> wife, Jo Carol Pierce, is like the profane Laurie Anderson of Texas on Bad Girls Upset By The Truth.
She and Ely and Butch,and the other Hancock, Wayne, and Robert Earl Keen and Terry Allen contribute to Songs From Chippy, which is Jo Harvey Allen's play based on The Chippy Diaries, written by a lumber industry sex veteran.

Reading this ^^ led me to look up more about this musical, Chippy. What a lineup of songs:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chippy_(album)

I used to have and enjoy that album of other people doing her songs called Across the Great Divide. Also saw her perform once and she was grebt.

Still in search of her song about Jerry Lee. I distinctly remember her singing
“He’ll
Leave you
Breathless!”
whilst making a self-choking motion along with accompanying sounds.

Mentioned here, along with some other stuff I remember:

For out-of-towners, Pierce was the event's central revelation. Pierce's orange cocktail dress and zebra-stripe stockings are nearly as loopy as some of her songs. She delivered some of the week's sharpest rock criticism in a hilarious and biting ditty about Jerry Lee Lewis and his string of ex-wives.
