And if I remember correctly, there's no way that's a jazz trio backing them - there were at least drums, bass, clarinet, some sort of brass, organ, and possibly guitar. That's more than three... The best part is definitely the spelling of M-O-T-H-E-R: M is for the pickup truck that I drive R (ar ar ar! dog noises) is for reverse on my pickup truck E is for...enema? A is for.... And R is for Redneck So genius. As a high school kid, that “Man Must Carry On” vinyl record was on constant rotation as we shot pool above my friend’s garage.

It's one of the B-Sides from Pop, and one of my favorite vocal performances from Willie. Plus, with all the songs that Willie wrote for others, it's good to know that someone wrote a song for him. I guess he liked it enough to go in and record it with them. Have you heard Willie with U2 singing “Slow Dancing”, a song Bono wrote for him?

Also check out some of his son Lukas's work. He's a tremendous guitar player. I know this because he lived down the hall from me. Great well researched post!
