Today when I was clearing trails, I heard a country song about blue tarp nation, chainsaws in the pines, etc, etc. on my weather radio. Tried to find it tonight, but this is the newest hurricane relief song I could find.

14 pages, and no one's posted L'il Junior ? This cat was too country for the rock stations, and too rock for the country.

My wife was watching this on Face Book when I walked through. This is the song I was looking for.

My friend, I envy you. Start with the RCA albums, and the early videos. It's gonna be an intense ride. Here's a quote from the best article online about Gary Stewart.

"Want to hear a man sing his own epitaph? Seek out "Honky-Tonk Man," the 1981 B-side of one of Stewart's last RCA singles. Barely clinging to a woozy melody he bought off some picker for a bottle of wine, Stewart spits out the words like he's singing from the dark end of a mile-long bar, lost on a ten-year drunk. Even the great Roy Dea謡ho produced the record--couldn't stomach Gary's extreme vocal. Stewart drags the song through the mud of his life, staining the words with bitterness, self-loathing and a few drops of romance. This is honky-tonk star as sideshow freak, the sound of a man opening his own ribcage to show you his bloody, still beating heart. Nobody paid the least bit of attention to it."
