I've been on the road with john Arthur martinez for the last 10 days, road managing a mini tour, and he was nothing short of a revelation...having been favorably compared to Marty Robbins and Johnny Rodriguez. He is comfortable with seemingly all the flavors; from Honky Tonk to Tex-Mex, from Rockabilly to Western Swing; and from the dark to the light. I don't know that I had heard him perform this song before, but it is SO much fun! Download the lyrics here, if you want to try and keep up with him! This was included in the CD Lone Starry Night from a few years back. Here's "The Armadillo Song," filmed at The Mansion on O Street, with Chris Reeves accompanying.
