"Cowboy" Jack Clement, one of Nashville's finest songwriters, penned the 1969 Top Ten hit, "Just Someone I Used to Know" for Porter Wagoner and his early duet partner, a young Dolly Parton. Wagoner is his Nudie suit and Parton in her one-size-too-small blouse epitomized the "country chic" of the 1960s - before country music became the homogenized, mega-hyped monster business it is today. This is real country. To misquote another song: "I was country, when country wasn't pop."
