Another song written by Johnny Cash, from the same album as my previous entry (Look At Them Beans). Dripping Springs is a town in the Texas hill country where Willie Nelson has his ranch and holds his annual Forth of July Picnic and Country Music Extravaganza.
People mentioned in this song are: Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Tom T. Hall, Larry Gatlin, Johnny Duncan, Leon Russell, Johnny Bush, David Allen Coe, Rita Coolidge, and I don't know which Linda he's talking about.
T. Texas Tyler is a more obscure (I think) country music singer who had some hits in the 1940s and '50s. His biggest hit was the spoken-word "Deck of Cards," which was later a huge hit for Wink Martindale. Yes, that Wink Martindale. Tyler's real name was David Luke Myrick, and he was actually from Arkansas.
