We'll close out this week of Western Swing by modern practitioners with two selections. First we'll hear from Jody Nix as he performs the tune written by his dad Hoyle Nix - Big Balls In Cowtown. We'll then go back to Merle Haggard's Tribute album for the song Misery.
I remember seeing Haggard, I believe it was on the Johnny Carson show. Haggard said after doing the song he turned around and there wasn't a dry eye in the band. One of the Texas Playboys told him "that better have been a good take, 'cause we ain't playin' it again."
