Another Singing AG
Clinton has his sax. Mike Huckabee has his guitar. Bobby Denton (D - Florence) is Alabama’s Singing Senator. Former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft wrote “Let the Eagle Soar,” among other songs, and sang with Larry Craig and Trent Lott in “The Singing Senators.”
Now as the Parlor’s Daily News Digest pointed out yesterday, our own Attorney General Troy King (R) follows in the footsteps of these musical political figures and records a duet with Johnny Cash to share among friends during the Christmas season.
Are you like me? National primaries are upon us, the state’s legislative session is quickly approaching, we’re facing a number of important issues in the state including a budget train wreck, and I’m thinking, “Dang, I’d like to hear that song.”
Here’s an audio excerpt over at the Press-Register.
(If he still had professional drummer Tony Castaldo working for him, they could really rock the office.)
I’m guessing it would be a little late for Troy to try and start a band with Tony, who I have heard play and is a great drummer.

As well as a great person (something Troy would know nothing about how to be) and a great worker/investigator.

Troy King discovers yet ANOTHER thing he cannot do . . .If he cut a single a great title would be (to the tune of “Rock Me Amadeus”) “Help Me I’m A Dumb-Ass!”

It appears Troy has whittled his list of friends down to 25 or so ;)

Considering Troy’s many overheated letters to the University of Alabama student newspaper about homosexuality during his time there, I am certainly not surprised he didn’t record Johnny Cash’s “A Boy Named Sue.”

Actually Troy must be rather musical. I think he plays the trumpet, because on several occasions I have heard people say “Troy King blows big time!”

I hear Troy may be covering some Steely Dan tunes . . .

[…] While I already posted about the recording, I wanted to share a picture of the cover of the cd King distributed last month. You can find the full story at the Press-Register. […]
