From "Good Deal Lucille" by Carl Smith.
When was the last time you heard a steel intro like this?
From his SGHOF plaque:
CURLY CHALKER
AN INDIVIDUALIST WHO ADVANCED THE STEEL INTO POP AND JAZZ, CREATED HIS OWN COUNTRY SWING GENRE AND MAINTAINED HIS MUSICAL INTEGRITY DURING THE POPULARIZATION OF THE STEEL'S COMMERCIAL SOUND. A TECHNICIAN WHO INVENTED BAR "QUAKING" AND INTRODUCED VOLUME "GUTTING." HIS CASCADING CHORDS, DELIVERED WITH THE SPEED OF SINGLE STRING RIFFS, IDENTIFY HIS UNIQUE STYLE AS THE "CHALKER SOUND."
BORN: OCTOBER 22, 1931 ENTERPRISE, ALABAMA
DIED: APRIL 30, 1998
INDUCTED: 1985

Good Deal Lucille
Goodbye Lu, cherchez vous another man?
Say “l'amour, por toujours" if you can.
You're high class, you've got a past, now you're a wheel.
Ho ho, good deal Lucille.
Go your way, leave today, that's your plan.
Leave me here, cherchez vous another man?
Paint the town, sorrows drown, that's how I feel.
Ho ho, good deal Lucille.
Parlez vous, here's to you, it's your game.
If I'm here if I'm gone, it's all the same.
Call the tune, stack the deck, this is your deal.
Ho ho, good deal Lucille.
Au revoir, so long and goodbye.
C'est la vie, woe is me, me oh my.
Paint the town, sorrows drown, that's how I feel.
Ho ho, good deal Lucille. |
