Note sull'episodio
Bakersfield California is home to the greatest country music that ever was. Everyone knows Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. But in 1972, Sonny Anglin debuted his first record: Mrs. Olsen with Today’s Tomorrows Yesterday on the B side. He’s played all the classic spots like the Blackboard, Tex’s Barrel House, Trouts and even toured the US and headlined a show at the Sahara in Las Vegas. His most iconic song would have to be I’m a Truck Drivin Pool Shootin Son-Of-A-Gun. It’s been covered by Devyn Brinsfield, The Soda Crackers and the B-Side Sing Born To Lose has been covered by Shontice Marie. Sonny Anglin is a local legend and at age 87 he is still singing multiple nights a week around town.
