The Gobblers Knob

Well, I have another followup to a previous posting of mine.  As I discussed the other day, Porter Wagoner released a new CD entitled “Wagonmaster.“  Unfortunately, I didnt pick it up because I was confused and stuff (see previous post on this subject).  Luckily, I have a lovely woman who sits atop The Knob with me.  She’s my wife and Baby Momma (official in 6 weeks).  She has no conflict in picking one CD above another, and she delivered to me a just-purchased copy of the best CD I have heard recently.  Thank God for a woman who refuses to listen to all reason (along with her friends and family) and continues to be married to me.  This disc contains a perfect mix of stone-cold Honky Tonk, tear-jerkers, hymns that would be at home in Sunday Church, and tales from a very real and unpolished life.  In “Albert Erving,” Wagoner tells the tale of his neighbor by the same name as he speaks it to us instead of singing to begin the song. When he does begin the singing about 2/3 of the way through the song, I caught myself wishing he would’ve just kept talking in his folksy, Grandfatherly way.  The whole disc rolls from track to track in a story-telling, chapter to chapter kind of way.  So, thanks Mrs. Knob, I love the new CD almost as much as I love you!!!
