Waylon Jennings Sings "Oilmen" with Earl Scruggs Band

Go to http://www.createspace.com/209068 to get my film
"No Women No Wine." Believe it or not, this film was a "short subject" which ran in movie theaters before the feature film. Mobil Oil sent me and my crew to these unbelievable locations and I suggested I make a movie that put them toigether. The wonderful song was written by Iris Hoffman and Ellen Starr, sung by Waylon Jennings, backed up by the Earl Scruggs band, especially Randy Scruggs.

@hellyeahdad my grandpa has one of those that his brother and him had made by a man in india a very long time ago when they were drilling over there.

@OrthodoxAtheist When the price of gas took a dive a few years ago that is when everyone was loosing there jobs in the gas and oil fields.

[OrthodoxAtheist]

@EzekielSwapp lolz re job security... if you see gas go up that's when you should be worrying. Seen an increase in hybrids and electric cars recently? :D Better start investing in solar technology too :) Good luck... make it quick while you can.

@waylonestar The job isn't as tough as it used to be. now with all the automated equipment. alot of the older rigs got stacked out right after obama got in. and when i see gas go up i smile. (job security) :)

ive seen plenty of those for sale. those ole aluminum ones with designs on em

[rexanater]

I was watching an "adult" video, once a long time ago, and Waylon's song "frisco depot" was playing. Added bonus you might say. "Music to screw by" haha! Bet Waylon would've laughed about it, even though it was probably a copyright violation.

Great video, I always knew oil rigs were a tough job but I never thought it was this bad. I respect the men and women who do this job BUT I still hate paying $4 a gallon for gas ;-) ;-(
