An album that could never be released today

[Monkeyleg]

Listening to some moldy oldies tonight, including some Arthur Conley. There's an album of his that could never, ever be released today.

Is it because he was singing about b****es and ho's? No. About killing cops? Nope. Was there a song on the album about somebody getting his noodle rocked? Nah. Doing crack? Uh-uh. Selling coke? C'mon.

So what would keep the album from being released?























The cigarette.

One of the few tracks I've actually bought on iTunes. Good stuff. The album could be released...they'd just airbrush in a syringe.

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette ...

 



( anyone but me remember that song  )

[Monkeyleg]

Yes, I remember that song, but probably not by the singer you recall.  Can I assume it was the Tex Williams version you liked, and not Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen?

[Tallpine]

Yeah, Tex

And "The Night Miss Nancy Ann's Boarding House For Single Girls Burned Down" :)

Is it Tex Williams or Tex Ritter?  I've seen the same recording attributed to both. (sounds like Tex Williams to me)

Speaking of Tex Ritter, "♫There was... [twang] blood on the saddle,  and bl-ood all around... ♪"

Tex Williams

Tell Saint Peter at the Golden Gate that you hate to make him wait,
but you gotta have another cigarette.
