Free Music Notes for Viva Terlingua
Free Music Review: The Essence of Texas
Hit: 5 Stars
Around the time that I was discovering bluegrass and country music (and making my first, furtive attempts at covering said material in a band), one of my bandmates suggested (actually, pretty much insisted) that I listen to "Viva Terlingua." Happily, this was one of the best pieces of advice I've ever received. Jerry Jeff's rich and gravely baritone is the perfect delivery vessel of this wonderful mix of his own material and the songs of Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn, Michael Murphy, and the immortal Ray Wiley Hubbard. Hubbard's "Redneck Mother" and Nunn's "London Homesick Blues" became instant classics, making their way into any aspiring country/outlaw band's repetoire, but Walker's bouyant "Sangria Wine," moody "The Wheel," and Clark's "Desperados Waiting for a Train" are all terrific, and, really, there's not a track that you'd want to skip over. Hearing "Viva Terlingua" always makes me smile. I'm betting it will do the same for you, too.
Viva Terlingua Poster
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. --Daniel DurchholzCountry Music CDs
