Wild As A Turkey - Hayes Carll

I’m wild as a turkey, higher than a Christmas moon,
Empty as my wallet on a Sunday afternoon.
I come around too fast, and I always leave too soon.
Ain’t that what they all say?

I really like listening to a good flat picker. The man who picks on this album is named Al Perkins. He plays lap/console steel, guitar, banjo, and the dobro. He is very well known for dobro. He has played for/with Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan, Tori Amos, John Denver, The Rolling Stones, CSN and sometimes Y, and a whole fucking heap of artists. The man is a monster on stringed instruments and deserves his own post as it is and not just an off handed note.

Anyway thanks for coming to my Perkins Talk.
