thx for posting Mickey Newbury. I have been on the lookout for his previous album, Looks Like Rain as I heard it was a must. this is the first i've actually heard.
Great, Emmett.
While i knew Mickey Newbury rewrote "American Trilogy" from a traditional arrangement, it's a rare treat to actually hear his original version for the first time. Not too shabbily sung, either.
Love the shot of Elvis at the wheel.
Bizarrely the Mickey Newbury track always reminds me of having flu and doing jigsaws!
As a sickly teenager I was glued to the radio and Johnnie Walker used to play this on his lunchtime BBC Radio1 show.
I love it.
