Liner Note Author: Jerry Jeff Walker.
Recording information: Luckenbach, TX (08/18/1973).
Recorded live in Luckenbach, Texas, VIVA TERLINGUA is Jerry Jeff Walker's best known album and one of the crucial artifacts of the early outlaw country movement of the 1970s. As far live albums go, however, it's a pretty laid back affair (you can only really hear the audience on Ray Wiley Hubbard's anthemic "Up Against the Wall Red Neck Mother" and Lost Gonzo band member Gary Nunn's "London Homesick Blues.")
Still, Walker and the Gonzo accomplices are in terrific form here, with wonderfully loose performances of favorites like "Sangria Wine." And the sound? Well, it's as relaxed and intimate as you could want.
Editorial Reviews
...Conjuring an overall air of disturbing tranquility, WE ARE SCIENCE is the narcotic missing from the nu-electro concoction...
