Tex Carmen - Dixie Cannonball (THP)

[easguitar]

With his vaudeville style voice, Hawaiian guitar that stuttered like Porky Pig, and his sense of time straight out of Lightnin' Hopkins- Jenks "Tex" Carmen qualifies as the original Psycho Billy proto country punk artist of all time!!! thnx for posting

Good stuff, I have listened to this 10 times already today. Why didn't this guy get real famous? He is very talented.

Wow!!! This is excellent! I LOVE that slide box. You don't see people play like that today. What a treat! thanks for the video

Muy bien Tejano Jenks Carmen; lástima que Joe Maphis no te acompañe a la guitarra; joder estasson canciones que me llegan a lo más profundo del alma; como me gustaría estar cabalgar por las praderas de Nuevo México, luego coger el cannonbal para ir St Louis- Missuri;y divertirme enlos estados de Texas, Lousianne y Alabama

Wow! This is a rare treat--Tex Jenks Carmen, and Merle Travis playing his custom Guild guitar!

Nope. That's the late Merle Travis
