Merle Haggard shows how impressive it is to be able to impersonate other singers. This is real good but is still the Hagg and not the same as the real person. That’s what makes it so great. Thank you to Bill Dale for turning me onto this.

You may think this music has nothing to do with working bulls. Jimmie Dale Gilmore fascinates me at how he creates something incredible with his voice. If he did not present it properly I think it would be terrible. It’s just his mind, voice, and guitar. It is as pure as it gets. When you are working with animals use the tools you have to make it work. If Jimmie Dale Gilmore did not use feel, timing, and balance this music would not be as enigmatic (I had to look the definition of enigmatic up.). The same is true when working with bulls and all animals.

This song was actually the inspiration for this week’s subject. I had been wanting to discuss this subject and when I heard this, it all sort of fell in place. It sure is good music.
