Last week I featured Jay and the Americans here, and referenced a certain 1980 hit by the great Bobby Bare. That song is, of course, "Tequila Shiela." This genius song was, of course, written by the lyrical genius Shel Silverstein. The video version from German television is a bit truncated, with Bare leaving out the first verse, but the whole song can be heard at the link above. Classic. Between Bare and Hoyt Axton, the late 70s and early 80s produced some of the best character songs country music has ever enjoyed.
