Rusty Wier
May 3, 1944 - October 9, 2009
I've had as many inquiries recently about my Rusty Wier collection as I have for B. W. Stevenson. Sorry, but neither collection is for sale. However, I built this page for the same reason I built my B. W. Stevenson page - in the hopes that it would help you find the items you're missing from your collection.
Just in case you're unaware, the first place you should look for Rusty Wier recordings is at RustyWier.com. Most of his recordings that were previously available only on LP are now available on CD and can be purchased from his store. You can purchase them online via PayPal, or by mail order if you prefer. Simply print the order form, then send the completed form with payment (in the form of a check or money order, payble in U.S. funds) to Crossfire Productions. They are extremely prompt in filling both online and mail orders.
Although Live At Poor David's Pub is listed as unavailable for purchase from Rusty's store, there are a few copies for sale from David Card, owner/proprietor of Poor David's Pub. David also has copies of Rusty And Son for sale. These are original CDs too, NOT CD-Rs.
Besides the above recordings, here are some other CDs that Rusty sings on. You should be able to order these albums from Lone Star Music, except where indicated. Another great source for these recordings is Bill's Records in Dallas.
- K. R. Wood's Fathers Of Texas (look for this under Various Artists)
- LJT's Festival #11 Live (I'm sure that Lone Star Music has this one, but I'm unable to locate it on their website. Write them and ask.)
- LJT's Festival #12 Live (look for this under Larry Joe Taylor)
- #13 Live from Meridian-LJT's Texas Music Festival (look for this under Larry Joe Taylor)
- The Texas Christmas Collection. There's also a track by B. W. Stevenson. A must-have.
- Urban Cowboy Soundtrack (Rusty doesn't sing on this, but there is an excellent cover version of Don't It Make You Wanna Dance? by Bonnie Raitt, plus some mighty fine country music by other artists as well. Not available from Lone Star Music.)
- Heart Of The Matter by Larry Joe Taylor. Rusty shares lead vocals with Larry Joe on one song (Robbin' Peter).
- The Early Years: Kerrville Folk Festival 1972-1981. A various artists 10-CD box set on which Rusty sings Cheryl Doreen. Read my review of this box set here.
- Texas - A Musical Celebration 150 Years . This is a live compilation CD. Rusty sings Don't It Make You Wanna Dance and Black-Eyed Susan. Some really terrific country music on this one.
- Voices of a Grateful Nation. A various artists CD of Texas music to show support for our troops. Rusty sings a song called Welcome Back.
- Watch some cool videos of Rusty live at the Saxon Pub here.
That's the extent of my knowledge, folks. I hope I've helped you get just a little closer to getting your hands on these recordings. Rusty Wier was a truly talented but vastly under-appreciated artist, and his recordings are definitely worth searching out. Happy hunting!
