Another variety of honky tonk music is "Bakersfield country". Bakersfield country originated in the honky tonks of Bakersfield, CA (hence the name), and incorporates more electric instruments, some southwestern influences, and often uses horns and piano.
Buck Owens is one of the granddaddies, and Dwight Yoakam picked up the torch. This is one of my favorite songs of all time.

I spent sometime in San Francisco I spent a night there in the can They threw this drunk man in my jail cell I took fifteen dollars from that man Left him my watch and my old house key Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal Then I thanked him as I was leaving And I headed out for Bakersfield
Maybe on the next installment of "Doc's a huge hilljack" we'll get into Texas Swing.
