Not into country music at all but love the gambler. He’d a great voice, RIP.

My all time favourite miss-heard lyric was the lady who 'phoned Radio Scotland and asked for 'Highland Industries' by Kenny & Dolly Parton.

Liked his music, not too keen on his Chicken restaurants.

Although he was obviously a Country legend his first hit was with the First Edition and this pseudo-psychedelic number-Iwas quite amazed to find out that it was him in the band.

That is one of those songs that you have heard and know without having a clue how and why you have heard and know it. If you know what I mean.😀

He was a bit of an old moaner though. Ruby, Lucille. They couldn't both be wrong Kenneth my old beauty. 

Very recognisable voice and one of the dinner jacket country singers.

I re-wrote Ruby for a spoof performer... Johnny Hash

the cleanest bit

" it's hard pn the knees

of a woman you age ruby I realise

oh Rubo let me give you one

up your behind"

sadly he left us a while back and the song died with him

the act also included 'Burning ring of fire' so you can see what level it was aimed at

Presumably not this Johnny Hash?

No, it was only a 5 minute bit in his set

stuff like this got written when you were travelling to gigs in the one car, or sat about if you got there early

some would stick to the same set year in year out

others saw it as a 'lark' so added new stuff. farked about with their material  and saw it as a blast;

 

unsurprisingly the former became successful

Were you having  a  semi  psychedelic  period at the time  yourself Hermano? It might explain how come you know you've heard but dont know how.🥳...or where, or when.

A lot of things happened between 88 and 92 that I can't remember or try not to.😀
