Outlaw Roots — The Hank Jr. Legacy (Week 8) *edited*

Waylon Jennings did not write Blues Man

The Blues Man 🎶 O.D.’d In Denver…

Happy Friday, folks!
Got two good ones for you today… 🎸

The Blues Man came out in 1980 on Habits Old and New. it’s one of those lived-in songs.

A little cool info about this one… I’ve told yall before — I play all of Hank’s songs. over the years… this one was probably my most requested. I had an ex-girlfriend once… every time I picked up my guitar, she’d ask for it.. and it wasn’t just her.. friends… people hanging around… same thing. “Play The Blues Man.” just something about it…

Then go back a year to 1979 and Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound… to O.D.’d in Denver… so I got S.I.’d in Denver once.. but never overdosed there… thank God…

Hope yall enjoy these… 🎶🔥

*** Got my info wrong.. Waylon Jennings did not write The Blues Man according to sources.. it was written by Hank Jr… i was for sure it was Hank.. but then saw something online about Waylon and went with it before confirming ***

S.I.’d = snowed in ❄️

I’m not a walk be-hinder. I’m a new note finder 🎶
