Re: Rusty Wier
Rusty is alive and kicking in Austin. Tuesdays and Wednesday he is usually at Gino's Italian Grill. Thursdays Rusty can be found at the Saxon Pub (as well as an occasional Friday or Saturday night). Rusty also gets to Dallas to perform at Poor David's once in awhile. "Are We There Yet?" (co-produced with Larry Nye) features Rusty's son, Coby on guitar. Coby is a great player and has brought a new college age crowd to Rusty's shows. "My Side Of The Story" was co-written with another son, Bon Wier. As far as I know Bon was Rusty's drummer for a while (but after getting married left for a 'day job'). Jerry Jeff Waker, Steven Fromholz, Ray (Wylie Hubbard) and Larry Joe Taylor provide some of the vocals on another great tune, "Hot Spot" (co written with M. Ballew, B. Moulds and Rusty). That's all I know.. Kat Just outta curiosity. Back awhile (like the 70's-early 80's) I snagged a few pieces of vinyl from Austin based singer/songwriter Rusty Wier and loved them. Was listening to one the other day and wondering what ever became of Mr. Wier and what might he be doing now. I haven't seen anything by him in years. Iceman

RE: Rusty Wier
Reply to: RE: Rusty Wier Rusty still plays around Austin a lot. (He had a regular gig at Saxon's Pub when I was living there a couple of years ago.) He also recorded a new album last year. I don't know if it's been released. Young aka \\\"The Iceman\\\"\" wrote: Just outta curiosity.

"Stoned Slow and Rugged" from 1975 was one of the decade's best "outlaw country" LPs. It had great songwriting and good musical support, including Chris Hillman, Richie Furay, Herb Pedersen, and Rusty Young.

Re: Rusty Wier
Ditto on that. I'm really think his 70's albums were some of the best to come out of that time. I still see Rusty play every now and again, the last time being at Gino's Italian Grill w/ about 4 others who weren't family. He's still a great act to see on stage sitting up on a barstool. He recently put out a new album called Are We There Yet. Before that, I think his only one for a long time was a Live at Poor David's Pub from Dallas CD, which is great. If you're ever in Austin, I'm sure you'd be able to catch him. But I don't think that he leaves town too much. Good to see a thread about one of the greats, cory np: Bukka Allen, Sweet Valentine "Stoned Slow and Rugged" from 1975 was one of the decade's best "outlaw country" LPs.
