There's a few lines in this that I particularly like and that is one of them. Thanks for listening.

Or something like that.

But I had no idea you meant music that literally was outlawed, like no one should ever play this, or this music had been banned, and should never be played on the Internet or the radio or anywhere else.

Man that one caught me by surprise.

Naw just kidding man.

This really sounds like Willie and Waylon and the vocals are actually pretty good!

You always sound real happy when you're doing songs like this!!

😄😄

You're probably dreaming of the good old days when you were standing behind that chicken wire.


The funny thing was I only played a place one time that had chicken wire. I guess we just played mostly for a higher class of rednecks. Stab somebody at the door, ride a motorcycle into the club, oh heck yeah, but throwing a beer bottle at the band? Wait a minute..... we used to play on a military base where they determined how good the band was by the number of 55 gallon trash cans full of beer cans were picked up off the floor in front of the stage...... We were a solid 4+ barrel band which was really good. most bands only got one to one or two barrels

I always like catching you by surprise. Glad you liked it. We need to get together and throw something on a grill and crack open a cold one.....

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it

That being said, it's a really good song, that's the cool stuff we we Europeans associate you US guys with.
Toe-tapping goodness.
Enjoyed my listen.

Thanks for listening. Yep. America has a few things that are unique in the world and rednecks are at the top of the list. Outlaw music is there too. The two go together like cold beer on a hot bonfire night.

Herb, this is brilliant listening. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this song. Your writing, arranging and performing are superb. The overall sound is polished and shines brightly. Honestly, this sounded like something I'd hear on the radio. Your experience and expertise stand tall in every aspect of this presentation.
