Remember watching Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton duets on The Porter Wagoner Show? I sure do and I tell you I’ve always wanted one of those Nudie suits.
Wagoner, now 80 years young, is known for his maudlin (and sometimes bizarre) country songs, has a new Marty Stuart-produced disc on ANTI- records and it might be considered one of those “what ain’t to be, just might happen” deals.
But, The Wagonmaster is back and following in the footsteps of country greats like Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard with the release of a late-career album that is creating a serious buzz (if not among country-radio folks).
In what might be considered a sequel to Wagoner’s song “Rubber Room” he covers the Johnny Cash tune “Committed to Parkview.”
