Waylon Jennings hosts this amazing tribute to Sue Brewer, den mother to many of Nashville’s best singer/songwriters in the 1960s and ’70s. While her resume states that she managed George Jones‘ club, Possum Holler, and worked at Music City News, a now-defunct industry magazine, her claim to semi-fame was turning her apartment, “The Boar’s Nest,” into an open house for songwriters (hence the title of both the special and this post). In his autobiography, Waylon says, “The best music ever to come out of Nashville was written right on her floor.” It’s appropriate, then, that Willie, Waylon, and the boys pay homage to Sue with exactly the kind of guitar pull that occurred in her home a thousand times.
Performances and a jawing session that is very entertaining.
