Day 16: January 16: Mexico
"I never really been so I don't really know."
So the story goes that James took a vacation south of the border but ended up with a bad case of dysentery and ended up spending the whole trip in his hotel room. The result is this song (hence I never really been so I don't really know). The studio version features David Crosby and Graham Nash and while this song didn't quite crack the top 40, it's a pretty well known portion of the JT canon. Hope you enjoy it- and feliz cumpleanos mamacita.
My favorite singer tells his own tale from my ancestral homeland. I'm hoping to get tickets this weekend to see Mr. Prine in concert for the fourth time this summer. It's got a funky riff and it's one of my favorites.
