Jerry, Buddy & Zoomer
Jerry Boyer: vocal
Buddy Winston: vocal & guitar
Zoomer Roberts: vocal & guitar
recorded March 1983
We learned this song from an old Johnny Bond 78 that I found on one of my junkin' junkets. In today's world of torrents, eBay and Bear Family box sets, the idea of spending hours sifting through stacks of old records in search of a gem seems plumb rustic, but 25 years ago it was the only way to find songs like this. Like many cowboy songs of the '30s and '40s, it doesn't tell a story. Rather, it conveys the resignation of being in motion for its own sake. Maybe things will get better. Maybe not. Roll on!

This tune was soooo soothing to listen to. Kind of reminded me of "The Browns", who also had that warm kind of harmony.
Thanks Zoomer!
