Gary P Nunn w/ Jerry Jeff Walker - London Homesick Blues

This song has always been one of my favorites. still is. Love Jerry Jeff too !!

I always thought that this was one of the greatest county-western songs ever written. I still feel this way 30 years later. The musicians out of Austin have always been the best albeit the least appreciated.

it's definitely "with" not "to" -- i've got 'Viva Terlingua' playing right now, as i've done repeatedly for the last 35 years. as a matter of fact, hang on a second... yep, right here in the album liner notes -- yes, i said 'album', as in 'LP' -- it says:

"...and Gary P. Nunn's own "London Homesick Blues," another "life of a country singer" song which endures on radio, well-known for its chorus of "I wanna go home with the armadillo." "

i'm betting the biographers invented the story.

Right! I found out they embellished by what you and someone else wrote here. That really annoys me a lot! Makes me wonder how credible the whole book is?Especially when 75 percent of the book is about how messed up SRV's drug and alcohol habits were. These drug abuse stories really got me angry. Cause it was like they were making him out to be a total degenerate. How can SRV defend himself is what biographers must of thought so they embellish the entire story ! Cause they dont know shit!!!!

i have no doubt that he was strung out, but the only one who knows the true story isn't around anymore. if the book was entertaining great, but don't let it taint your opinion of the man too much.

i saw him open for the Moody Blues in Dallas in 1983. it was awesome. blew me away.

on his tour bus window was a sign that said "you must be 18 years of age to exchange personal favors for backstage passes." always thought that was funny.

Going to see Gary P. tonight.........Happy Birthday Mama Locke!!!!!!!

one of my all time favourite tunes....Jackie Jack!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. The song is referring to smuggling Armadillos from England into Texas.
