Wild Horse Road

 

Written by John Stewart

 

I´m warning you.  There is more to come.  Second part of the four part trilogy.  That makes sense.  Charlie helped on this one with some bass runs I had overheard.  Wasn´t there a song Willie Nelson sang with the title "Good-ears Charlie has the Blues"?  No reason for that for our Charlie.
This is the "Lonesome Picker" version.
’Wild Horse Road’ is from “The Lonesome Picker Rides Again”, Warner Brothers, 1971, re-released as CD by Line Records, 1990.
