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).

Fun Fact: That "Tulsa" song was written by Wayne Carson Thompson, of "The Letter", "Soul Deep" & "I Couldn't Spell !!*@!" fame.

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)

amazing story in the OUTLAW book that came out this year about Waylon writing a guy a $4,000 check on a paper bag and the bank actually cashing it.

other good stories about Waylon's most crippling addiction... pinball.

i think roughly 80% of the best videos on youtube belong to waylon, this among them:

^ Hard agree on that imaginative solo record. What is the stage in life where you give up searching for the next obscure rural rock album and you instead just throw on the Honky Tonk Heroes LP?
I've come to the conclusion that live 70s Waylon is Cosmic American Music and should receive the same hype as anything from the Dead or the New Riders. The only downside is that you just wish he would've expanded on that last 10 sec hard riff in "Honky Tonk Heroes" for an extra 7 or 15min. But I do think it is the shortness of the tunes that allow for amazing replayability… that and the songwriting. The guitarist Tom Carter made a post on social a couple months back that talked about the motorik qualities of “Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way?”.

What's the best 70's Waylon live recording?
― Tōne Locatelli Romano (PBKR), Friday, 26 June 2020 19:15 (three years ago) link
In addition to just a few well-recorded official live 70s releases, there is a whole lot of other 70s stuff spread throughout the years in different formats. It looks like some of them are boots and some are unofficially-released live broadcasts from radio stations. I started with the 1975 "Waylon Live" RCA release that was eventually expanded into a 2CD set in the 2000's. He keeps it pretty tight and succinct on that one. And then you do find much more raw and at least partly jammed songs on the boots and radio broadcasts.
There is a keyboard player on the Sugarloaf show which I do really like. "Louisiana Women" is my current favorite song, at some point he took out the lyric about a kilo of marijuana when he went and did those mid-late TV performances that you can find throughout YouTube. There are some real gems in those videos too. Here's some links to the ones I just mentioned. The YouTube thumbnail used for the Sugarloaf show looks like it was used for a series of live releases, so I need to take some time and check out those as well.
