How Jerry Jeff Walker's 'Viva Terlingua' Shaped Outlaw Country Music. By Bobbie Jean Sawyer7 months. Desperados, Armadillos and Redneck Mothers. At the dawn of the 1970s, Jerry Jeff Walker was most famous for penning "Mr. Bojangles," the oft-covered folk song about a tap dancing drifter.

Walker and his pals aimed to invest country with the wild abandon of rock ‘n’ roll, while also maintaining respect for excellence in songcraft. Gettin’ By, Get It Out and Sangria Wine belong equally to hippies, truckers and cowboys. Despite his mischievous streak, Walker also sang moving versions of Guy Clark’s Desperados Waiting for the Train and Michael Martin Murphey’s Backslider’s Wine
