And is it generally available to non-weasel types? US and Canada release date May 18th, 1999 titled "Red Dirt" by Andre "Mr. Rhythm" Williams The Sadies. Besides a great first name g, the interesting fact here is that Mr. Williams is a black singer who has been living on skid row for years. If I remember Mr. Robshot Blood correctly, he had some regional hits in the 60s (being based out of Detroit), but after that everything went downhill. It wasn't until recently the guy straighten himself up and started performing again. If you like funky grooves mixed in with country and soul, this release is definitely worth checking out. Great album. Later...

Re: Psycho
"Psycho" also sneaks onto the Ryko Elvis Costello "best of" compilation. It's a live version and is really kinda fun and eerie eminating from EC. I listen to it often but don't worry, I won't be bringing any weaponry to twangfest. Ahh, but think of the B-movie possibilities"Bloodfest at Twangfest" Where's Russ Meyer when we need him? Jerry
re: Psycho
After several spins of Andre William's "Red Dirt" (Bloodshot), which I really enjoy, I have to find out who wrote "Psycho". My copy is an advance and doesn't list any credits (thanks, Rob.) The only other version I have of this song is by an Australian (I believe) band called The Beasts of Bourbon (an album I got 12-15 years ago). That Beasts of Bourbon record is wonderful. If I remember right, that's the same one with the stark version of Wichita Lineman. Great band.

RE: Psycho
Geez, if you're talking Starday/Gusto, there could be a dozen or more Payne cuts on comps, or even entire albums out there, and you'd never know it unless you happen to stop at the right truck stop at the right time. If there's a company that's made more of a mess of a bigger treasure trove of recordings than IMG, I'd like to know what it is...

Yeah, I've got a couple of his Bullet recordings on those Boppin' Hillbilly collections (the earlier vinyl-issue ones, not the recent CD comps). And "I Love You Because" is on one of Rhino's Heroes Of Country Music (formerly titled Hillbilly Fever) collections. That's about it though.--don

Re: Psycho
There's also a very cool version of Leon Payne's "Psycho" on the _Psycho_ movie remake soundtrack, sung by Teddy Thompson (son of Richard and Linda Thompson) and produced by Ethan Johns (Whiskeytown, Chris Stills) === =) meggs http://www-scf.usc.edu/~ahern "There is a new billboard outside Times Square.
