Where Did The Wolfman Go

As reader Pete from down under recently pointed out to me after I wrote about obscure Texas country artist Terry Allen in these pages, there´s more to the man than just his masterpiece Lubbock (On Everything). His later efforts may be a little more uneven, but the highlights are definitely not to be missed.

Take Flatland Boogie, from Human Remains (´96) for instance. A heavenly tune, featuring exquisite backing vocals by Lucinda Williams, who´s timing it just right. Richard Bowden´s fiddle is to die for, too. "Got Four Roses in a sack, and we ain´t lookin´ back tonight..." Sounds good to me.
