Is it just me or is this guy one of the greatest music artists and lyricists of all time? He seems waaaay underrated.

[lorm]

Genuinely believe this is this most punk tune ever recorded

[TheRealCaptainFreedom]

“And all I can play is dowin dowin dowin dowin down.”

[lazlokovacs]

"And all I can play is
Down! Down! Down! Down! Down!"
The conversation between Stanford's voice and the string instrument is simple and brilliant.

“They never did find out my real name”

I love this flex of a song. This country boy has 2 Emmy’s and an Oscar

I saw him live in Tucson 195?. It was a great show and i have his autograph.

This song made me laugh and feel good. That's a successful song in my book.

Ace! We did a family coach holiday to france, traveling through the night we had to change coaches before the ferry at around 2am early hours,
Everyone on the coach wanted to sleep but the driver didn't want the hassle of waking everyone up so he kept the lights on and the radio on,
This song has been forever etched into the family memory after we were all in histerics at the whole situation we were in, looking around at all the tired fed up faces around us, going past other coaches of people all asleep with the lights off and ours beaming through, and then to top of off, this guy with his, and they call me country blasting out.

Very underrated singer at the time. Even on old time country request shows, they’ve never heard of him. Personally, I’ve always loved his music, especially the darker side of it.

First ever country song I heard... Heard it again after 15 years... Fond memories

[voraciousreader]

1:15 — That was one slick key change (modulation)! It’s like, “I’ll just pick up this put it _here!_ “Hang on, boys! New key comic’!!”
He sure _doesn’t_ know much about any kind of music, to do that!

[gerardstephens]

My youngest daughter sent me here. I can’t even explain how far off the path this is for us musically, but damn I’m glad she did! Serving up a tasty combo of self-aware humour and unhurried storytelling is rare.

[ryanmarks]

I agree, rockabilly and a country man!
