This is a classic piece of Texas rockabilly. In the late 70’s and early 80’s rockabilly revival in Europe, “Pink and Black” was played by quite a many new rockabilly bands. The title song and “Little Red Wagon” are also a great sample of Fisher’s songwriting skills. He would have deserved a bit more success, but so would’ve many others as well.
