Greetings to the man who shot Liberty Valance Absolutely wonderful pop psych/sunshine psych. Lighter stuff, not tripped out like acid rock. I listened to this just about dawn. A nice way to greet the day. Sometimes I don't care to scramble my brains early in the morning. The heavy tunes come later. Michigan was one of those states that was jam packed with garage bands, like TX. Hey, amigo, El Chapo"s son got caught in El Paso. I know you know "El Paso" by Marty Robbins. I'm listening to "Cocaine", the original version by JJ Cale from the Troubadour album "76. As the Wizard knows, Eric Clapton covered it in "77.
