Rare 7” Single from Any which way you can
It’s always great to find another Eastwood related 7” single for the collection. I discovered this yesterday, purely by accident, as I didn’t honestly know this had been cut as a single release.
David Frizzell & Shelly West - You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma was of course featured on the original soundtrack album and featured in Clint’s film Any which way you can (1981). It’s recognised today as something of a country classic – but for me it brings back some great memories of a certain time and place.
It also represents a period where Clint worked closely with producer Snuff Garrett (1938 – 2015). Clint and Garret worked together on projects such as Every which way but loose, Bronco Billy and Honkytonk man.
While there seems to be plenty of copies of this single available in the United States, it was rare to find one here on these shores – so didn’t hesitate in grabbing it while I could.
