    Good stuff. The lyrics are great – single shot rifle & a one-eyed dog. That’s pure back country Louisiana (pronounced Luziana in the South). And Jack is a quite popular name there (from Fr. Jacques).

    Alabama does a decent version of this song too, though Mel is a little better

      Spaceman,
      I do like Mel’s version better than Alabama’s. Maybe the single voice draws me a bit more. I also like the music behind Mel, more of what I think of as the Louisiana sound.
