Wow, pt. 2

Wow...

TOO weird!

Choices, choices, choices... Oh, REALLY?

The Miller AAF set on RCA (most recently in Bluebird box form - look for the floating hat) contains that one, as well as enough other interesting-to-more-than-interesting moments of writing (as well as some truly great ballad singing by Joihnny Desmond, including a vocal version of "Moon Dreams" that predates the Davis/Evans version by 4-5 years) to make it a worthy pickup so long as one has realistic expectations about the rest of it. Lots of dreck. But the good stuff (again, the writing and singing - the interpretations are still pretty much Miller-fied, although Ray McKinley - probably the "fucking hillbilly" referenced somewhere - has a spirit that not even Miller could fully supress) is very good. You have NOT heard "Pistol Packin' Momma" until you've heard the Miller AAF version. TOTAL mindfuck. Hear me now and believe me later, ok?

1970 makes a LOT more sense. Thanks, Mike.

Yeah, but you know how guys are - overlooking the obvious, even IN the obvious, is what we do....

Wouldn't be contemporaneous if it was. The colors and design style don't fit w/the time frame. If it was anything "of it's time", it would most likely be late-60s/early 70s, most likely the latter would be my guess. But like I saidm I really think it's "neo-retro". But I ain't puttin tree-fitty on it!

Well, it seems to be the 50-year-old Zambian man from the town of Chongwe, about 50 km (30 miles) east of Lusaka, that's who. From the sound of it, NOBODY came, first or otherwise. Not this time, anyway. Although, growing up in the ruralalities of backwoods/backwards East Texas, this is not the first time I've heard of such, uh... "interaction", and the results were supposedly, ummm... "complete". There are some WEIRD people in this world, let me tell you...
