It was the summer of 1993, August to be exact.

Princess Diana had yet to file for divorce from the Prince of Wales.

Leslie Nielsen was on the cover of Pint House, and President Clinton had just sworn in

Ruth Better-Gensberg to the Supreme Court of these United States.

Incidentally, Mother Teresa had just been hospitalized with a case of malaria, and while

those two yes-queens would go on to define aspects of feminism for years to come, neither

they nor the events or the people that I've mentioned had even an out of effect on small

town American women as the song we are discussing today did.

The Bayou Baratone, the Louisiana Lover, slamming Sammy Kershaw, raised the status of every

trailer wife across the land to that of royalty, dropping the incredible queen of my double

wide trailer as the third single on his seminal album Haunted Heart.

The song shut up to number seven on the billboard charts, but it remains number one in the

hearts of American men whose homes are mobile, but whose love of a good woman absolutely

is not.

Boys, we're talking about Sammy Kershaw, queen of my double wide trailer today, and I'm excited.

That's right.

Welcome back to the second edition of Bubba Shot to Podcast, baby.

I'm worried, I'm worried I'm going to end up saying a different version of the same

thing each and every week, and I don't want that to happen.

It's okay, but I just got to say very few 90s country songs slapped, slapped, still slapped

and will continue to slap for me quite like this one does.

This was one of my favorites back then.
