Messy Head Blues

A very special Australian requested more Mickey Newbury songs, so here they go.  Not every single one of his songs is a sad love song, but we all know those are my faves and MIckey writes them with the best of’m.

Here is the first offering, an Ed Bruce rendition of the heartbreaker “She Even Woke Me Up to Say Goodbye.”

Next is another weeping dirge—“I Don’t Think About Her Much No More” aka. “Poison Red Berries”. As a side note, I just read how Willie Nelson chased Newbury off of his land with a gun one time because he came around asking for Willie’s daughter’s hand.

Finally we have the impeccably coiffed Johnny rodriguez singing “I Wonder If I Ever Said Goodbye.”
