Well, the guy died of a heart attack about 10 years ago, backstage at a BRMC gig where he was doing sound engineering for the band. This version was released a couple of years later.
Waylon Payne (no, really, that’s his name) is the son of Jody Payne (guitarist for Willie Nelson) and Sammi Smith (singer in her own right). He was named after Jody and Sammi’s friend, Waylon Jennings. If you saw Walk the Line, he played Jerry Lee Lewis. Anyway, Sammi’s signature song was Help Me Make It Through the Night. Waylon was a client of a boss of mine from way back–at the time he was a total trainwreck, but it looks like he’s exorcised those demons since then and good for him because the dude is a monster talent. Anyway, we had recorded him doing a cover of his mother’s tune so it’s actually his version that I think of when I think of the song. This is him playing the song with his father before he died.
Carole King – Carry Your Load
You turn around and Another Year Again
then Two More Years

You think I’d crumble?You think I’d lay down and die?
I can never hear that song without thinking of this.
Dave Edmunds I’m Gonna Start Living Again If It Kills Me
That Twangin’ is a real good record.
And I choose to survive
Whatever it takes

but like any toddler..or a fucking drunk driving a car..i bounce and get over it
Yes it is!
Here I go looking ahead…Daywave, Starting Again
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – “Let the Day Begin”
I like this version better than the original!
The guy singing on this version is the son of the guy who sang the original!
I had no idea. What ever happened to The Call? They had a few hits & then?
