Sierra Ferrell - Don't Let Your Deal Go Down

[Beausoleil]

I truly believe this girl can sing anything! At least to me. I love how she provides percussion at the end.

Interesting take on an old Flatt and Scruggs classic.

With the late Byron Berline playing the fiddle. This whole album was great.

2. Oh, yeah!

My original reference for that song!

I got that album in college and still have the CD.

3. Me, too!

I was 18 in 1971.....I think it was the best year for music, ever. Or maybe I was just starting to listen to music that wasn't near the AM radio dial.

4. I started college in Austin

in 1973, just as the music explosion started.

Up to that point I was listening to Jethro Tull and Yes.

Then I saw my first Asleep at the Wheel concert..... and Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, a bunch of local Austin bands.
This was before 6th Street was a thing, Austin wasn't crowded and Armadillo World Headquarters was going strong.
It was really a magical time.

5. Jerry Jeff was a dorm favorite in '72. Then I found the Dead, Bromberg, Hot Tuna, Traffic,

Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers, Commander Cody, Lou Reed, NRPS, Janis Joplin, Humble Pie, Stevie Wonder, J.Geils, and The Who.....to name a few, and in no particular order ........and that's the start of my story.....

6. Two of my favorite abums from that time

Doug Sahm and Band

The "Band" were folks like Dylan, Dr. John, "Fathead" Newman, Flaco Jimenez, Bromberg and Kenny Kosek.

Live from Deep in the Heart of Texas by Commander Cody

I was lucky enough to see that concert when it was recorded at the Armadillo. Listening to it puts me right back there.

Interestingly, I saw The Who's Quadrophenia concert a few days later.
