Charlie Walker - Who Will Buy The Wine (2:38)

This 1960 hard country shuffle comes from legendary Texas honky-tonker Charlie Walker (1926 - 2008). The bracing twin fiddle licks that kick off the record are a sure sign that two or three minutes of sheer musical exhilaration will follow.

And how about the publicity for Bobby Freeman's appearance at the Pussycat A Go Go lounge on the Las Vegas Strip? Opening the show for Bobby Freeman was Satans Four and Go Go girls! Sign me up. Please.
