570. I am a rock

“I found this Buck Owens cover of a Simon + Garfunkel nugget in a Cache Creek, British Columbia thrift store, mid-90s sometime. An entire album of electrified countrified takes on some of that hippie sh** the kids were so into at the time (1971). And delivered with all due sincerity, because don’t fool yourself. Nobody knows lonely like a one man island, or a Country + Western superstar.” (Philip Random)
