Fuck yeah, man. That would be sweet.

If it's actually at Luckenback and that's where you are - you owe it to yourself to listen to Todd Snider's "Devil's Backbone Tavern" - the intro and the song. Whether you have heard it before or not.

Have fun, man.

It is indeed in Luckenbach (just outside of Fredericksburg). And I know that tune, it’s a good one! ?

the guitarist on the left in the pic is awesome, by far the best lead guy. I think his name is Jake Workman. If that’s correct, he has some cool instructional flatpicking stuff on your w.

And then listen to the song - which has little to do with Luckenbach, but it finishes the story.

Todd Snider is a great songwriter.

There’s a Texas brewery that makes a beer called Devil’s Backbone. It’s a trippel and like 11% alcohol, those things fuck me up lol

and the geographical Devils Backbone is a real spot you can visit. It’s a high stand in the limestone TX Hill Country region. This is the same terrain I work in as a geologist, so it’s quite familiar to me ?

Arlo is from around here. His real name is Tim Carr, and he and Jeremy Pinnell were in a band called The Great Depression. Late 90s maybe? Early 2000s? I saw them a few times back then as they would perform at local bars. I think they both struggled with drugs a bit and went their separate ways, but they both came out of it OK. I think Carr took a break for a bit and when he came back on the music scene he was performing as Arlo McKinley.

Both McKinley and Pinnell have some great tunes, and often sing about their roots here in the Ohio area.

This tune by McKinley is from his album of the same name, and it was released under John Prine's label - Arlo was the last artist he signed to his label before his death. Quite the story.

Great performance, but man...Paul Stanley wrote some corny fucking lyrics.
Take out the electric guitars and Peter Criss banging on the drums and the lyrics have to stand on their own - you kind of have to chuckle a bit.
