Bubba Bodine and members of his band, the Bedroom Cowboys, were all on the north side of forty when their debut album was released. After twenty years of playing honky-tonks, VFW halls, and county fairs, a representative of a medium-sized recording company saw them at a Nashville area bar and loved their music and raucous stage show. They signed a contract for two CD’s and an optional third at the label’s discretion.

They first soared to the top of the charts featuring a number one single, “Weekend Cowboy,” and two other top ten songs. The second effort did not score nearly as well with the fans or the critics, and the label was reluctant to invest in that third CD. Bubba and the Bedroom Cowboys had experienced that elusive moment of fame but seemed headed back to smaller venues playing memories until that road eventually ended as well.

Bubba, who controlled every creative aspect of the band, planned to get around the label by recording what could be their last tour. He would self-produce a live album. If their company rejected it, he would pitch it to other Nashville labels. The new CD would include several new songs that would take the band in a controversial new direction. Would it lead to a break-up of the band? The band’s future would move in a new direction, but not in the way Bubba had planned thanks to an unfortunate wild hog and a very large alligator.
