This was a country crossover hit, and the first I had heard of Marty....



Bob Weir was a fan, as you can tell ..
What a great songwriter Marty was, as well as a NASCAR driver

Here's an acoustic version of the opening track of The Eagles 2nd album.
J D Souther is credited as one of the writers, along with Frey /Henley and Jackson Browne

They were duelin', Doolin-Dalton
High or low, it was the same
Easy money and faithless women
Red-eye whiskey for the pain
Go down, Bill Dalton, it must be God's will,
Two brothers lyin' dead in Coffeyville
Two voices call to you from where they stood
Lay down your law books now
They're no damn good
Better keep on movin', Doolin-Dalton
'Til your shadow sets you free
If you're fast, and if you're lucky
You will never see that hangin' tree

Well, the towns lay out across the dusty plains
Like graveyards filled with tombstones, waitin' for the names
And a man could use his back, or use his brains
But some just went stir crazy, Lord, 'cause nothin' ever changed
'Til Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton
He was workin' cheap, just bidin' time
Then he laughed and said,"I'm goin,"
And so he left that peaceful life behind
Mm...

For the Classic Rockers only out there, this is called Crossover Country or Country Rock.
Probably features the world's longest out-tro, so crank it up, Jeff ;-)

For the classic rockers who thought that R&R Hall of Famers Buffalo Springfield were just a one hit wonder... this is from their third and final album, released after the group had broken up.
Neil Young actually wrote it but was becoming disillusioned with the group, so he handed it off to (Poco founder ) Richie Furay..
