Chris Jagger thought it was about time that Jerry Hall, a Daughter of the Republic of Texas and honorary consul of the state of Texas living in London, got to be heard in Texas and the U.S. Because Jerry has been living in London for a long time, Chris didn’t want the folks back in America to have totally forgotten about her. Chris thought it would be a great idea for Jerry Hall to introduce some of her favorite recordings and some of the stories connected there and the times she had back in Texas when she was growing up. Jerry Hall exclaims, “Country music, as the songwriter Harlan Howard put it in the 60s, 'is nothing more or less than 3 chords and the truth.'"
“Our enduring fascination with the myth of the cowboy continues. We long for freedom and individuality, honor and integrity. Where men sing Don’t Fence Me In. While more and more of our country loses its small quaint towns and wide-open fields to globalization and consumerism sadness. Cowboys have become all hat and no cow. But get into the land of the Honky-Tonk and you will find a bursting heart of emotion and blues and sadness and longing. Whether you are from Tennessee or Missouri, you will find the same longing of disadvantaged people wanting to get out into a bigger better world.” – Jerry Hall
