The Country Cavaleers wore waist-length wigs on stage, claimed to have invented outlaw country, and crusaded to keep kids off drugs and into Jesus during the revolutionary early 1970s. Were they truly ahead of their time, or just from another dimension? This first episode of Edd Hurt and Patricio Johnson's Between My House and Town podcast covers the career of Cavaleers Buddy Good and James Marvell, who recorded in Nashville between 1972 and 1976.

Most of the material in the episode comes from two heavily researched pieces I wrote for Jason Gross' online music magazine Perfect Sound Forever. The first piece ran in 2014. The 2018 followup features my epochal interview with Cavaleer Buddy Good. David D. Duncan's discography and photographs come out of his obsessive search for any and all extant Cavaleers artifacts. The pieces are the only journalistically sound looks at their career. I found a few articles about them here and there during my researches, but none of them was vetted and edited in anything like a professional manner.
