Don’t know if anybody’s mentioned this yet, but James comes by his writing ability honestly – his father is Larry McMurtry – author of The Last Picture Show, Lonesome Dove, etc., born in Archer, TX – the setting for The Last Picture Show – he knows rural Texas & Oklahoma.

I’m from OKC, and, while we have Applebee’s, the Internets, indoor plumbing and cement ponds where I live, I certainly know every geographical local mentioned and many folks who bear an uncanny resemblance to the of the colorful cast of somewhat left of the law characters in this song……

Its good. And he wrote the song. But Ray Wiley Hubbard’s version is really much much better.

Are you saying that Woody and Billy are wrong? Cause I’m sure as heck ain’t sayin’ that that y’all can’t tune. I’m just saying that currently, ain’t no one that can sing like James, except good ol’ Billy Boy, in your Monarchy. lol. Buy him a pint for me when you see him, and tell him Dan from EAST of St. Louis and the Coal Miners’ Union sends his regards, and says I’m glad to see he’s still tearing it up. Cheers, Mate. Here’s to James, Billy, and Woody… and our coal miners.

While we’re on the subject, maybe your Billy is our James, and that’s the best compliment a ‘Merican can give the UK and Billy.

Well, Guvna, I’m not making fun of the good ol’ UK. I’m repeating an old Woody Guthrie song that Billy Bragg, your best song-writer in a long time I might add, IMO, finished with the help of WIlco. Woody first made the pun about your Monarchy, and wittingly veiled it in a Minor Key. That’s brilliant, Guv. I know y’all know tuning because of my old buddy, Billy B. Billy wales, I mean WHALES. lol. I met Billy a few times back in the 90’s. He’s The Best!

I knew they both had a version of it, but didn’t know which one wrote it. Ray’s version is ok, but I prefer McMurtry’s better. Thanks for the info!

Oh Sush DancinDan; you’ll be telling everyone we don’t know DADGAD tunning either here in the UK.

This song is amazing. All his lyrics are the best. And boy-o-boy… can he play guitar too. He’s one of those players that recordings can’t do ‘em justice. He’s a real Texas Troubadour… with a screamin’ guitar. He’s a real BAD ASS if there ever was one. This cd is totally kick ass. Til this day, over in England, they don’t know a thing about a Minor Key. Thanks for sharin’, Mr. McMurtry.

It was covered by the great Ray Wylie Hubbard on Delirium Tremelos in 2005 but McMurtry definately wrote it and released it on Saint Mary Of The Woods back in 2002

I also love listening to him, he’s great in concert…..however, he didn’t write this one……Choctaw Bingo was written by the great Ray Wylie Hubbard! (hubbard)
