“My favorite is ‘Dead Man Walking’”
Thanks much for that suggestion! That is a good song, very Linkin-Park-ish or Audioslav-ish to me. Much better than the “Son of a Sinner” country song in this thread.

However, neither JR song does anything for me lyric-wise. From reading the comments on YouTube for both songs, it seems that his lyrics hit hard with alcoholics and drug addicts.
It’s good to be surprised with others’ interpretations and appreciations of songs. As with any art, the beauty is in the eye, or ear, or inner being, of the “observer.”
So do I, and I even like some of the old bubblegum, or did. 🙂
I’m so glad I was able to help! Enjoy! I found it by using the term “Jellyroll 1970” and Youtube provided the first hit.
Me, I never heard of them but I’ve been listening to it and getting a kick out of it. Thank you for turning me onto them!
Yeah. Back then blacks were lynched, beaten, made to wait outside or sit in the back, but the artistry was awesome! They invented music that still is setting the pace. Take away the persecution, and the creativity wanes. Paradoxical.
Yes, pretty cool! Kind of a jazz, rock, funk combination in style. :)
