Steve Fromholz - Texas Trilogy (from Jus' Playin' Along)

I can't recall when I first heard the late Steve Fromholz. It was around '74; either when I picked up the Frummox album (as a cutout!!) or in ZigZag magazine's massive April 74 interview with Michael Nesmith. Or maybe in Jan Reid's Improbable Rise Of Redneck Rock. It was a long time ago; and either way, one of the great discoveries. From that point I tried to pick up all Steve's releases. I never got the chance to see him play and I know from what I've read online that I've really missed out there! I've been meaning to upload this track for quite a while. It's a remake of his famous Texas Trilogy that first appeared on Frummox's Here To Now in 1969. This version is quite rocking in places and is taken from his sole album for Willie Nelson's Lone Star label, Jus' Playin' Along. "Texas Trilogy", is set in the town of Kopperl, in Bosque County, Texas". It comprises of three songs, "Daybreak," "Trainride," and "Bosque County Romance," portraying life in rural Texas in the 1950s. This is no work of fiction and is a wonderful, moving piece of work. As an aside, Steve actually cut his first solo album proper (How Long Is The Road To Kentucky?) for Michael Nesmith's short-lived Countryside label. Michael returned the tapes back to Steve and I have read that Steve sent out a cassette of the album to one particular fan, if not more. Maybe Steve's family may be able to release the album posthumously. I'm sure there would be a lot of interest.
