  one of my favorites of the Texas Outlaw group was jerry Jeff walker, most famous for LA Freeway and a few others. He did a song called " Night Riders Lament" and I just fell in love with the song. I sang it all the time. I can't find a good version of him doing it on you tube- one that includesthe yodeling, but here Suzy Boggus with him. they chat until around 4:15 and she starts singing. It is just beautiful and she can yodel. I swear you will love it.

  Lots of folks have done this song . Johnny Cash has a sterling version but I still like Kris 's version best as I believe he wrote it and sang it first.

  what is there about Sunday Morning that makes a person feel so alone?

  Kris is right,

  there is nothing like a Sunday to make you feel alone.

  I loved all those guys. I really liked them individually and didn't care much for the "Highwaymen" group. I got to see Willie in concert a few months ago. Absolutely the best show I've ever been to. Just him, his guitar, a snare drum, bass, harmonica, and his sister on piano.

  I grew up on Waylon, Willie, Kris, and Johnny. Some of the best music ever. As a songwriter myself, I have always tried to emulate Kris' writing style. He could write in a way that made you visualize what he was saying. Almost like a movie in your mind.
