Finally…Someone is recognizing ne of the best songwriters ever. I have had Dick Feller Wrote…
since its release and enjoy it often. The best song on the record in my opinion has to be Daisy Hill. I would love to see this performed live.

Dick, if you read this, thank you very much for some of the finest music ever!

I have the album Dick Feller wrote … that I purchased at a yard sale. It’s a great album that I wish they would release on CD. My favorite two songs on the album are the two long story songs. One titled ” Daisy Hill ” about a pretty girl that has a surprise ending that reveals her occupation. And my personal favorite is the tragedy song modeled after Dicky Lee’s Patches entitled Jerico Springs which is a small town here in Missouri. It has memorable meolody with a great hook. Feller should have had a hit with it, but the record company in their infinite wisdom probably thought the song was too long. The song concludes with the lines:
But a girl’s been found, face down and drown
In the waters of Jerico Springs.
Where the Ozark breeze,
Blows soft through the trees,
The thresh and the bluebird sing.
At the end of the world,
A show-me girl,
Walks down by Jerico Springs.

He looks like a Paul McCartney impersonator.

I’m with Troy. Very creepy picture. He almost looks like the child catcher in Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang. Haha.

These songs are hillarious! They remind me of stuff my Grandpa would go around singing. These are good. They made my day. :D

Was Jerry Reed really forgotten?

You know, I was just about to post a note saying that not only was Dick Feller forgotten, but increasingly so too was the foremost interpreter of his work. And, then I saw that Jerry Reed died today. Sad, sad, sad. He was truly one of the greats. I hope people will rediscover his great music (most of which was made in the years leading up to “East Bound and Down.” )

This is great! I had heard “I Dont Look Good Naked Anymore” before but not the other two. I am going to play that and “Alimony” for my dad. That is the kind of stuff he loves. He just got a computer about a month ago (his first one ever at age 74) so I will have to let him listen to it one day when I am over there to actually pull up this site and play it for him.
