Texas torchbearers used an old Jennings’ work tape to create “Ode to Ben Dorcy (Lovey’s Song),” a tribute to a country-music roadie
“When he first started coming out with us, he was always telling these crazy stories of Johnny Cash or Waylon,” Bowen says. “A lot of people at first are like, ‘There’s no way. There’s no way this really happened. This old man is full of shit. He’s just making shit up.’ But he’d tell the story the same every time, over and over.”
“The people that met Lovey for the first time, or the first time they had him on the bus, they’d pop it in and when you hear it you’re like, ‘Holy shit, this is awesome,'” Rogers says. “I think for Ben, in his mind, it legitimized him to whoever he just met.” “We put that [worktape] in our ears. All of a sudden Waylon starts singing, coming through your headphones,” Bowen says. “It gave me chills. It’s still to this day one of my favorite things I’ve had in the studio because it was like he was there with us and it’s like we were recording a duet with Waylon. It was a very magical moment. Waylon played in perfect rhythm, perfect timing.”
“You just hear that traditional thing that very few people nowadays can play and play it that well,” Rogers says. “Him being on this project — the musicians don’t get talked about enough, to be honest — and his catalog of those traditional licks and tones and sounds that he can recreate, it props up something that is long gone.”
