Gets my nomination for "Best Misdirection Country Lyric." I'd never run across this song, just heard John do it today on Marty Stuart's RFD-TV show. I didn't see the punchline coming, and it just knocked me off my chair. It's squarely in the country music tradition of wordsmithing an everyday cliche (like "wild blue yonder") to get a new and ironical message. Just knocked me out. Great piece of work.

This is great. It's a shame people have the nerve to call Rascall Flatts, Taylor Swift and lady Antebellum country. I grew up on this stuff. RIP true country 1936-2003

When JA made this song it was the last era of true country music. Hopefully we will get back to it in the near future. Tho' Taylor Swift is good at what she does.. It ain't country.. don't know what it is but it ain't country as much of today's country music is far away from traditional country. Just because they put on a cowboy hat doesn't make'em country. Darius Rucker is far closer to being a real country singer...

Did anyone catch John playing Wild and Blue on Marty Stuart a few weeks ago? Sure would like to see that again.

His name's Tom Morley - he's currently playing with a traditional/Celtic
group called Mithril.

@onstageagain Wow... that was quick... fast... I wasn't expecting that... thats cool. He was with John Anderson on so many of his shows back in the day. I see him a lot on the videos. I'll see if I can find him... how did you happen to know that? I'm in Ca.. originally from Memphis... but I've been a Anderson fan from the Swinging days.

@onstageagain Actually, I'd forgotten his name, but I remembered he was credited
on the Wild and Blue album (along with Buddy Spicher, who played fiddle on most
of the early JA albums.)
