Up Against The Wall Redneck Mother, Jerry Jeff Walker.

Early Music Video using a cut from the Viva Terlingua Album, with thanks to Jerry Jeff Walker for the Luckenbach Performance and Ray Wylie Hubbard for the song. Up Against the Wall had become a San Antonio High School Anthem for us in 1974 when we made this fun little music video (S-8 Film with Audio Cassette playback ) for an English class media project. Everyone else that year was doing slide shows of pretty sunsets to Neal Young Music and such, so we did Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother.
Thanks to the Mayan Dude Ranch for use of their western town set, to Mr. Edwards of Pipe Creek Texas for use of his barn and of course to Jerry Jeff and Ray Wylie Hubbard. Enjoy some young film stars in their debut performances of a song they knew so well, so well, so well.

Fast forward to 2017 and a bar in Dallas, Texas with two local lads playing a selection of guitars and I heard that intro, you know the one. Total recall. I was up there singing it, a few words changed and missed here and there but they knew I knew. The Lone Star shone brightly that night.

A legend, that is one of the greatest musicians I've ever heard. We all have our own taste in music, understable. But Jacky Jack strikes a chord in my soul like Elvis, Beatles, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, etc. NEVER DID! Of course their all great muscians, but some like JJW hit you in your soul for reasons you cannot explain. That's what makes him so special. He's not the best guitar player, or singer, or greatest looking. But he is absolutely perfect at being Jerry Jeff Walker. That to me is incredible, and why I love him so much.

I mean it's nothing compared to many projects hitting a million+ in a day.. but hey.. it's ancient, 1974.. so, power on ya'll.. According to Ray Wylie, he wrote this just a year or two earlier, and then Jerry Jeff took it on the road right away.. go see Ray if he comes through your town, quite the tight band, and good show.. and thanks to SunRadio.com for keeping Texas and Americana music alive and well.

[@JimFinkTV]

So, a remembrance from Ray courtesy of the Texas Monthly by: Michael Hall, Andy Langer, Jeff Salamon, John Spong, Katy Vine and Christian Wallace Dated - Oct 26, 2020 Ray Wylie Hubbard is a singer-songwriter who grew up in Dallas. He lives in Wimberley. The thing about Jerry Jeff that stands out to me is that he was a great songwriter but also very gracious to other songwriters. Like on ¡Viva Terlingua!, he put me and Gary Nunn on there, and a couple of Guy Clark songs, before any of us were doing anything. So the first thing you hear when he plays my song on that record, “Redneck Mother,” is Bob Livingston saying, “This song is by Ray Wylie Hubbard.” Well, the record label wanted that off. They said, “If this gets played on the radio, everybody’s going to think that’s Ray Wylie singing it.” But Jerry said, “Nah, leave it on there.” So there I am. And to me, ¡Viva Terlingua! is the definitive progressive country, outlaw country, Texas music record. It still holds up. It still influences so many people, and not just because of the songs but because of the attitude. Jerry Jeff was like the Sam Peckinpah of music. He was going to do it his way. I mean, who records in a beer joint in the middle of nowhere called Luckenbach, with hay bales for sound baffles? But that album is still magic today. You can feel it, sense it. Losing him is gonna hurt for a while. But the legacy is going to be his songwriting, his belief in other songwriters, and his spirit with the way he would do things, his whole cantankerous coolness.

Dang, I just noticed the record pops and cracks in the audio track. I think I recorded the track to cassette from my LP. When we first show'd this, it was synced to an audio cassette player, and I had to use a SLo Mo capable S-8 projector to let the last chorus go through, as we did not have enough Broll to cover it.. A few decades later I was able to edit the tracks together, put in the album jacket and make this Video version, as mentioned in my initial post. Enjoy the Pops and crackles.

Been a rusted on fan since the 70's....when visited Austin, called into Charlie Dunn's past workplace, but couldn't get to the back of Capital Saddlery,, guess Buck Steiner was long gone, but ordered a pair of custom boots and showed the staff a photo of Jerry Jeff's boots and got a copy sent to me in Australia, where I live. Next went to the current iteration of Mannys Hat Shop. Ordered " An Old Friend "- that too was shipped home some time after returning home. The Old Friend has been displayed/ mounted on a wall in my study. As with Jerry Jeff referring to Manny, it will "keep him alive in the room ". How sad to lose a singer, songwriter, storyteller who clearly never sought out fortune and fame. Have been playing and listening to his music since the 70s and his tunes, characters and stories will continue to travel with me as an important part of my life Thanks for everything Jerry Jeff.
