Y'all tell 'em you want Hick'ry Hawkins & Sidemeat for yer hard earned drinkin money's worth! Y'all deserve us!

Now y'all might wanna know somethin bout our music probly. Well, we play hillbilly style but it ain't ya normal hillbilly (if'n there is such a thing).

See, it's like this, if'n ya take every rock and country star - the legendary ones - I'm talkin Johnny Cash, Willie, Hank Sr, Buck Owens, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Kiss, Bowie, Screamin Jay Hawkins, Lil Richard, Buddy Holly, Elvis, Prince!

See, ya take all these guys and if ya could put 'em in a blender and then pour 'em into a 5'3" 120 pound body. Then guess what the hell you got! Hick'ry Hawkins!

Look fer crazy stuff from us in the future. Dial us up any ol' time and I'll be happy to talk to ya! Thanks! Welcome to our world, we love y'all!

SPESHUL NOTE

I FOUND OUT JEST RECENTLY THAT A FELLA WHO WAS DAMN NEAR THE BEST COUNTRY SONGWRITER IN THE WORLD HAD PASSED AWAY. HE WAS AND IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME HEROES. I SAW HIM PERFORM JEST ONCE, JEST HIM ALONE WITH AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR AND IT WAS A HOLY EXPERIENCE FER ME. I CAN'T BELIEVE I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT SO LATE. HE DIED A FEW WEEKS AGO I THINK AND SOMEBODY IN A BAR TOLD ME THE OTHER NIGHT.

IF'N YA HEARD HIS SONGS OR KNEW ABOUT HIM, HAVE A DRINK FER HIM WHEREVER YA ARE. IF'N YA NEVER HEARD HIM OR DON'T KNOW ABOUT HIM, HAVE A DRINK FER HIM ANY WAY.

I HOPE WHEN I'M GONE THAT I CAN HAVE HAD A TENTH OF THE IMPACT THAT THIS MAN DID!

THANKS FER THEM SONGS MAN, I LOVE YA!

FER MR. TOWNES VAN ZANDT
