Leo Badass Cut Song Download ((BETTER))

[Bonny Nolder]

<div>Every once in a while, a song playing on your headphones makes you feel invincible. Like you're slow-mo walking through a field of explosions while systematically cutting down your enemy with a relentless stride of pure awesomeness.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I want to know what songs do that for other people. Recently for me, any time I hear the beginning of Little People by the Procussions I can't help but feel like a badass, even if the most badass thing I'm doing at the time is edging out a little old lady for the last gallon of milk at the grocery store.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>leo badass cut song download</div><div></div><div>Download File: https://t.co/ZImbrZcQBk </div><div></div><div></div><div>Unlike some of his other jail songs, this track from the I&apos;m a Lonesome Fugitive album isn&apos;t autobiographical. Instead, Haggard tells the story of a man who killed his wife while "insane with rage," only the jury convicts him of premeditated, first-degree murder. As punishment, they spare him the chair and leave him to live with his guilt: "I prayed they sentence me to die/But they wanted me to live and I know why/So I do life in prison for the wrongs I&apos;ve done." A year later, the Byrds, led by Gram Parsons, would cover the song for their Sweetheart of the Rodeo LP.</div><div></div><div></div><div>This chart-topper is based on Haggard&apos;s incarceration in San Quentin for a robbery conviction. The song is told from the viewpoint of his fellow inmate Jimmy "Rabbit" Hendricks, who escaped and killed a state trooper while on the run, eventually getting caught and later put to death. In this telling, Rabbit wants Haggard, his "guitar-playing friend," to sing an old favorite gospel tune before his execution. It&apos;s so earnest and filled with regret that you almost feel bad for this murderer, a delicate balance that Haggard pulls off, likely knowing that he could have been in the same spot if he decided to flee alongside his pal.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Though it was written by Liz and Casey Anderson, Haggard&apos;s hard-living past lent authenticity to this song, his first Number One single. According to the man himself, Haggard escaped from lock-up over a dozen times, so who better to sing about life on the run, torn between freedom and the desire to settle down? What really seals the feeling of isolation and woe are the gorgeous backing vocals from Bonnie Owens, Haggard&apos;s wife at the time, almost as if they&apos;re imagining what life would be like if he returned to crime and kept them apart for good.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Haggard made this Tommy Collins track his own on 1967&apos;s Branded Man, if not for one pretty significant reason: he actually played in a prison band while doing time at San Quentin, where he was in the audience when Johnny Cash stopped by to play his own set of jailhouse blues. "I learned to play the guitar, and I am doin&apos; the best I can," he sings to a locomotive beat not unlike the one that Cash wowed Haggard and his fellow inmates with back in 1958. "I guess it could be worse, &apos;cause I made the prison band." As much his experience in the lock-up caused irreversible mental turmoil (as documented on many, many songs) he also can credit the place for providing the foundation for a career that forever resisted existing behind anyone&apos;s stone walls.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Written by Curly Putman, "Green, Green Grass of Home" is best-known for Tom Jones&apos; operatic 1966 version. And yet Merle Haggard&apos;s more restrained take from 1968 might be the best of all. It appears on his Mama Tried album as the second song, immediately following the title track as one of the great opening one-two punches in country music history, and the performance is stunning. Haggard stoically describes bucolic back-home scenes of ma and pa and sweetheart Mary, "hair of gold and lips like cherries." Then the tempo slows for the spoken-word punchline verse, in which the narrator awakens from his dream to "four gray walls that surround me" and the realization that it&apos;s his own execution day at the prison. Nobody can do forlorn like Haggard, punctuated with crying pedal-steel. It&apos;s tear-in-your-beer time, if only beer were on the last-meal menu.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div> df19127ead</div>
