Zoomer Roberts:

When you get right down to it, nobody sang like Johnny Cash except Johnny Cash, and nobody sounded like the Tennessee Three except the Tennessee Three -- but that didn't keep the Lariat Cowboys from trying. The late Tony Quero used to record our gigs at the Lariat Lounge on Dyer Street, and if I thought we were having a good night I'd get a copy of the tape for my "archives." It has taken me 25 years to work up the nerve to go back and re-live those honky-tonk nights and bloodshot mornings.
