A song titled "Don't Tell My Boy I'm In Prison" is a perfect antidote to all of the secondhand holiday treacle we must all endure this time of year. "Let's Go on a Picnic" (and pretend we're still happy, is the gist of the song) has the same purpose, too. I liked Marvin pretty well, but don't expect to revisit this album very much in the future. If you like classic, no frills (meaning no Nudie suits) country music, give this one a try.

Wow, cool album.
I love Marvin Rainwater's style very much!
Can't wait to hear this one. I love Marvin Rainwater (he's 25% Cherokee!) and if I had my own country, I would name him official country balladeer.
Baikinange, I enjoy your blog and the strange and wonderful things you share with us. Merry Christmas!
Thank you especially for the Songs for the Birds album-Eddie South is one of my heroes.
