The Beat Farmers on Letterman Show "Hideaway" (1991)

Classic band and classic characters. God bless Country Dick Montanna.

Jerry Raney is a terrific guitarist....very tasteful........

Amen to all the comment - I particularly loved Riverside( The studio version)

the best band that never sold out to anyone for anything.......they did it their way and it was freakin' spectacular....turn it up!

I saw The Farmers (Jerry Raney and a few other guys playing the Beat Farmers music) and they were awesome! This is an awesome clip, Raney really rips the guitar.

LOL, Dave at the end: "I want to be in that band... If I should have to leave and get a real job, I'm going to work with the Beat Farmers!"

I saw it for $7 on ebay

God, I hadn't even thought of these guys in years. I lived in El Cajon from 1986 - 1991 and they were "the" local band, a pretty impressive feat considering there were so many talented groups in the San Diego area. RIP Country Dick and Buddy.

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know they played Letterman. They should have been regulars.

Thanks for posting this...hadn't seen it before. I used to sit and marvel at Joey's comfortable ease with performing, the most relaxed musician ever. Spirit Club in San Diego, early-mid 80's when he was with the Speedsters. And how many times did I go home soaking wet drenched with beer after a Beat Farmers show at the Belly Up or the Bacchanal..? Good times.
