The things you hear on this contraption...

Now playing on Outlaw Country, Sirius Ch. 63: Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Honky Tonk Night Time Man"...the very same song written and recorded by the legendary MERLE HAGGARD. Now, I knew the line between those two was not that crooked and that Skynyrd themselves recorded a lot of stuff that has a country sound to it. And I don't have any of their albums besides the greatest hits — if I did I'd have probably have heard this song long before this morning — but still, I never would have guessed I'd hear a song from them that was written or recorded by a country artist from their time. I gotta admit that's pretty damn cool.
