Davy's Jukebox: Texas John Slaughter (made 'em do what they oughter)

Those Disney series always had great theme songs. Davy, Zorro, Andy Burnett, Swamp Fox, Elfego Baca. Heck, even Johnny Tremain. And Texas John Slaughter was no exception. This 1958 version by the  Sandpipers, with Jimmy Carroll and Orchestra, is no exception. Sing along, you Buckaroos.

Davy's Jukebox: Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee Drinkin' Wine!

There are many fine versions of this song (one by Jerry Lee Lewis comes to mind), but this 1996 effort by Nappy Brown and Kip Anderson is the one that best rocks my house. Davy and I invite you to unscrew the cap of your favorite brand - be it Ripple, Bali Hai or Mad Dog 20/20 - and join the party.

Davy's Jukebox: Cruel is Your Name (and Hurtin' Me is What You Do)

Once upon a time (circa 1990) Portland was home to a hard-driving bluesrock band called the Blubinos. On this lazy Sunday, Davy and I invite you to sit back, kick your shoes off and enjoy one of their many tender ballads.
