Viva Terlingua! Jerry Jeff Walker & The Lost Gonzo Band. Vinyl LP. Recorded live in Luckenbach, Texas on August 18, 1973.
Simultaneously rowdy and tender, Jerry Jeff Walker's Viva Terlingua! was a love letter to the Lone Star State and symbolized the emerging outlaw country movement. Recorded with Walker's faithful comrades, the Lost Gonzo Band, the album celebrated Texas songwriters like Guy Clark and Ray Wylie Hubbard. It also announced Walker's transformation from a Greenwich Village folkie to a tried and true Texas troubadour.
Taking the album title from a bumper sticker plastered to the saloon wall, Viva Terlingua was born. Walker decided to hold a Saturday night concert at the Luckenbach dance hall. The cost for admission? One dollar. By the end of the night, 900 people had shown up including future Texas Governor Ann Richards.
