Product description
It's no accident that among the great albums Jerry Jeff Walker has made, most of them have been recorded in front of a live audience. If you want to get the feel of the rowdy Texas music scene of the early to-mid-'70s, look no further than ¡Viva Terlingua!, a rowdy, goat-ropin' classic of sing-along mayhem recorded in the tiny town of Lukenbach in the summer of 1973. Walker marshals his Lost Gonzo Band through a number of tunes that went on to become classics, including Guy Clark's "Desperados Waiting for the Train," Ray Wiley Hubbard's anthemic "Up Against the Wall Redneck," and his own "Sangria Wine" and "Gettin' By." The highlight, though, is an extended take on Gary Nunn's "London Homesick Blues," better known to casual Jerry Jeff fans as the theme song for the long-running PBS show Austin City Limits.

Younger listeners may think, "Hey, he sounds just like (one of today's progressive country performers)" when it reality, it's today's progressive country performers that pay tribute to Jerry Jeff and the Gonzos with their sound.
For me, three cuts stand out; "Gettin' By", "Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother", and "London Homesick Blues". Walker's voice on "Gettin By" fits the song perfectly; He doesn't so much sing, as opens his mouth and the words fall out(in a good way!). It's perfect for the lyrics.
"Redneck Mother" exemplifies the lyrical satire that has become a hallmark of song-writer Ray Wylie Hubbard, and "London" showcases Gary P. Nunn's singing and song-writing. You can tell that song is something special when you hear the crowd's response (it was recorded live). It went on to become the theme song for "Austin City Limits".
Buy Viva Terlingua, crank it up, and sing along! It's just something special.
And remember, Jerry Jeff, Gary P. Nunn, Bob Livingston, John Inmon and Ray Wylie Hubbard are all still out there making great Texas music!
"It's Scamp Walker time again!" And with those words, JJW kicks off one of the essential albums of all time (well, at least essential to the times of my life ;-) Once upon a time, a long, long time ago - in a land far, far away, I used to crank up the stereo - remember stereos? - with those heavy vinyl discs that went around at 33 1/3 rpm? - with this hymn just before walking out the door to do battle with final exams: "Just gettin by on gettin by's my stock in trade - livin it day to day, pickin up the pieces wherever they fall. ...Just living my life easy come easy go."
I am glad I got this on CD! Ain't Modern Technology wonderful? Those old fashioned turn-tables just jumped and scratched all over the place when one tried to play a record whilst driving the pick up truck!
OK, everybody sing now:
He was born in Oklahoma
& his wife's name is Betty Lou Thelma Liz
& he's not responsible for what he's doing
`cause his mother made him what he is.
...
M is for the mudflaps you gimme for my pickup truck
O is for the oil I put on my hair
T is for T-bird [in this live at Terlingua concert version]
H is for Haggard
E is for eggs and
R is for REDNECK!!!
in Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA
"Gotta put myself back in that place..."
Listening to this JJW retro makes me "wanna go home with the armadillo."
