Jimmy Day and The Least Amount

[Tore Blestrud]

Jimmy played a lot on the early Willie stuff. And on "Texas in my soul" in 68 - fantastic. Also check out his playing on the George Jones albums "Sings Bob Wills" and "Salutes Hank Williams".

Hello Tore, Thank you for mentioning the "Texas In My Soul" record. I have several Willie albums with Jimmy Day on them but I missed this one. Many Thanks! I downloaded it this morning and listened to it all day long at work. It was worth starting this conversation just to get more water from the well.

So classic! Many Thanks!

Jimmy Day at a steel guitar show interview said he played on an album that Willie Nelson had recorded, Before Willie got it released the IRS seized it in Willie's Income Tax case.
Does anyone know if willie ever got it out of Hock and released it?

When I first joined Johnny Bush's band in 1992, Johnny told me about an album he had cut a few years earlier with Willie, Jimmy Day, and David Zettner called "The Offenders." The master tape, having been stored at Willie's studio, had been confiscated but later relinquished by the IRS. I think the album was later released in very small quantities privately.

Herb, I have a tape called "The Offenders Reunion" I bought from Scotty 1-24-09. I do not remember ever playing the tape. It does say Limited Edition on the wraparound. It does say on the cover Willie Nelson, Jimmy Day, Johnny Bush and David Zettner are the singers with Special Guest, Jimmy Day Jr., Floyd Domino, Johnny Gimble and Ron Knuth. It states it was made at WILLIE NELSON`s PEDERNALES STUDIO, Spicewood Texas. This may be the one your talking about.

Don, that's the tape I'm referring to. I guess it was way after 1992, but I stayed with Johnny for 14 years (1992-2006), so the memories do grow dim.

Herb Thanks, For the post on Willy's Album.

There is also an album with The Offenders called "Me And The Drummer".

[Don Euton]

Herb, you could be right. That date was the date I bought the tape. I bought Jimmy Day and The Texas Outlaw Jam Band at the same time. Scotty could have had them a long time. It had J&M Productions with a Buda, TX. address written on the tape cover.

Don I had that too. It was a cassette with a black and white cover
