Wire My Grave With Country Music (MP3)
John & Margie Cook - Wire My Grave With Country Music
Unfortunately, the production on this deep fried country effort makes the whole thing sound slightly mossy, but I can find no fault with the philosophy they're espousing.
If you're not inclined to embrace such a philosophy, spending the next two and a half minutes of your life listening to this record might not be such a good idea.

Huey Meaux Dead At 82
The devil finally caught up with Huey Meaux last week and we here at the Ichiban Head Office could not let that go unnoticed. Before all the gory details of his wicked personal life became public, it was hard not to marvel at Huey Meaux's remarkable accomplishments as a producer. Huey was one of the primary architects of swamp pop music - Gulf Coast Rock and Roll - epitomized by Meaux-produced hits like "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" by Jivin' Gene and Joe Barry's "I'm A Fool To Care". Then there were all the hits Meaux scored with Barbara Lynn, Freddie Fender, and Doug Sahm. But best of all were all the oddball records the man released on both major labels and hopelessly obscure imprints. Like Kim Fowley, a Huey Meaux credit on a 45 meant something interesting, strange and possibly disturbing was in store. Huey was also the most passionate (and pill-fueled) deejay to ever man a microphone--surpassed only by Dewey Phillips for pure broadcast mayem.
Here is some random weirdness from the Crazy Cajun including a sheet from his personal "memeaux" pad purloined from his office, an extended aircheck from an early 80s Meaux show on KUT in Austin, TX and perhaps the most disturbing Christmas 45 ever! As the Crazy Cajun himself would say, "you better sure believe it!!!"

Caravan With Thumbs
Thumbs Carllile - Caravan (2:03)
If you're going to listen to only one country jazz version of Caravan today, I nominate the Thumbs Carllile version, recorded for the LP Roger Miller Presents Thumbs Carlille. Yes, his name was misspelled on the LP, as it often was throughout his life. At the time of the album's release, he was playing guitar in Miller's band.
And I hope you didn't miss the Thumbs video clip posted here the other day.
