Music reviews of Driftin' Way of Life

Music Review: This Might Be His Best Album
Rating: 5 Stars

I discovered Jerry Jeff when a friend loaned me "Viva Terlingua" about a year after it came out. I immediately went out and bought his newest at the time, "Ridin' High", and it became the soundtrack to my life that summer. I would daydream about what it would be like to live in Austin Texas and see my heros, Jerry Jeff and Michael Murphy, at the Armadillo World Headquarters - the cosmic cowboy center of the universe. But being a seventeen year old growing up in a small town in Southern Indiana, those daydreams, and the records made by the many maverick artists that made up the Austin scene, were as close as I would come to the real thing.

Not long after that, another friend loaned me his brother's "Driftin' Way of Life" and "Bein' Free" albums, which I didn't even know existed, and I liked them even more than "Viva" and "Ridin'! They were from the period previous to his move to Austin's Hill Country, and they contained the trademark Jerry Jeff good time songs mixed in with a healthy dose of intimate ballads and songs of deeply personal introspection. These albums had a wide range of emotions that somehow worked together.

Decades have now passed. And while time can drastically alter our opinions due to our preferences shifting, and some albums simply holding up better than others over time, I still think those were his best albums. In fact, I feel even more adamant about it. Oh, and interestingly enough, twenty years later... I was living in Austin.
