Dick Cheese & the Crackers Here's an interesting CD I received in trade a couple years back from Greg Gilleland, a guy who played drums in the band. I'll include his notes below, some of which were responses to my guessing the song titles (in CAPS), and the corrections. This is a fun Bar Band show to listen to, and one none of your friends is going to have.

Dick Cheese was a blues/rock/country band I played drums for in the 90's. Great bunch of guys, That particular show includes a great tune called I'm gonna kill you by Isaac Peyton Sweatt, RIP, who is famous for being Johnny Winter's 60;s bassist and also the author of the great country dance tune The Cotton Eyed Joe, long story there but a Houston boy. I recorded this show off a stereo DAT. Here's some more info, dude: I am 44 and back in '86 was in law school and playing drums in an orig hard rock band called RADIO X with a bassist named Woody Oakes. Me and woody got along well. Woody is 8 years older than me. Woody and some of his long time music buddies had a band called ROY OYSTER AND THE PEARLS, the precursor to Dick cheese. In Roy Oyster, Phil Stevens was the driving force, vocalist and very talented lead guitarist. In 89, he moved to AUstin to seek fame and fortune. In Roy Oyster, Dick Cheese was playing drums, when Phil left, Dick moved up to guitar and vocals and I came in on drums and of course Woody was still playing bass. A great but very loud (I have the hearing loss to prove it) guitar player/vocalist Sal Tine came in when I did, so we became Dick Cheese and the Crackers. All these guys are 8-10 years older than me and turned me on to lots of tunes I'd never heard before. Dick Cheese, used to play drums behind Issac Peyton Sweatt and lots of other infamous Houston bands. That's where He learned all the cornpone country licks on guitar. Warm Up 1. Long Black Veil, orig a slow country tune, version we heard was from Johnny Cash in the 60's, we just rev'd it up (You named it No Alibi)(Sal Tine sings) 2. I’m Gonna Kill You (Dick Cheese lead, Sal backup) 3. Stray Cat Blues (Sal sings) 4. Three Time Loser, I think Wilson Pickett did it and I've heard several other r&b bands do it since then(you named it How Many Teardrops)(Sal SIngs) 5. Little Star (original by early cracker member who was not gigging with us then, Phil Stevens)(Sal sings) 6. Little Red Book (sal sings) 7. TEXAS (Original by Dick Cheese himself, you named it Dog Bite Blues)(Dick sings) 8. Blue Suede Shoes (stole the arrangement from Hendrix)(Dick sings) 9. ANYTIME THE WIND BLOWS (you called it bad For You Baby, another original by absent member Phil Stevens) (sal sings) 10. Boracha (yeah, we wrote it drunk at practice one night. Guaranteed to make all females go eawwwww and all guys crack up)(dick sings) 11. Before You Accuse Me (sal sings) 12. Pussy Whipped Again (sal sings) 13. Baby Please Don’t Go (sal sings) This was always my personal favorite to play) 14. Eight Ball 101 (Dick sings) *** *** *** *** *** Trade and Share Freely, Never Sell!
