Jimmy Dean

“Big Bad John” from the album Big Bad John and Other Fabulous Songs and Tales

Another nugget of small town radio. We recently stayed at a lake resort near the north-central town Hackensack, Minnesota. I found a really good oldies station and for the week the dial pretty much stayed there. Cabin getaways are supposed to be about “unplugging.” You don’t watch much TV, try not to look at your phone much, and get into a simpler mode. Oldies rock contributes to this sense of time travel. I hadn’t heard this song for maybe 40 years (oh my god, I feel old…) It took me back to car trips with my parents. My mom tended to lean more toward Rock and Roll, but most of the time my step dad was in control of the radio and it was County Western. At the time I sided with my mom in want of some Rolling Stones or Paul McCartney and Wings, but looking back Johnny, Waylon, Willie, Merle, Tammy and Dolly are a big improvement over the modern equivalent. This was one of the tunes that I remember liking. Yes, this is the same Jimmy Dean as that tube of sausage in the freezer section. Before that he was a singer, actor and TV host. This was his biggest hit. A country crossover, it spent 5 weeks at #1 on Billboard pop chart. The title figure is based on mythical characters like John Henry and Paul Bunyan, which is fitting as I was in the heart of Paul Bunyan territory in the Minnesota lakes area when I heard it. Oh, and Hackensack (population 313), near the campground we stayed at, is the home of Paul Bunyan’s girlfriend Lucette Diana Kensack, and the birthplace of Paul Jr.. Now you know!
