believe it or not, freddy fender live, it's a duble cd with the second one being Johnny Paychecks greatest hits. Years ago Hustler magazine had excellent interview articles. Yes I actually read the magazines, and not just the mis maligned (?) penthouse forum. Hustler had an excellent Ted Nugent article and an even more excellent Freddie Fender article. He went from 20 people in some dive bar to 15000 or so over night, and he partied, and it caught up with him fairly quickly. And Paycheck.... didn't he shoot someone in a bar argument, forget the details on that, but he was a tough , scrawny , "sumbitch". Good times. I got this double cd at goodwill, still sealed , 79 cents, that was a loooonnnggg time ago, but it's a fun listen if you're into that type of music.

Johnny Paycheck's best songs were Take this Job and Shove it, I'm the only Hell my Mama Ever Raised, and She's all I got. Thanks.
Oh, and he was court martialed for assaulting an officer, arrested for statuatory rape, convicted of shooting a man, and he had charges for check forgery, paternity suits, tax evasion, and bankruptcy.
