[G] I had many guests on the show when I was up at Brushy Mountain.
Pretty kidding, Miss Kelly Willis was there, and the legendary blues man, Gatemouth Brown, is on the record.
Sean Camp is on the record.
We're going to do some of that.
We're going to [Bb] do the songs [G] he and I wrote for the record later, but I had a friend of mine who I was working with then, Tim McGraw.
Y'all know Tim McGraw.
He's up at Iron City all the time, if you ever run around.
He goes up there and plays cards.
But, yeah, you know, you've been in there.
But we did a duet on this next song, but the Curve Records label and Tim are not speaking anymore.
Those songs are going to remain incarcerated for a few more days.
This record was a long time in the making.
I know many of the guys who were at the show were out before the record, you know.
But we're glad.
I'm going to sing this song for you now because it has proven to be somewhat a little too close to home since I wrote it.
So, semi-autobiographical, only the names have been changed to protect the guilty.
It's called [D] Shackles and Chains, and I'm going to play it for you now.
