Country singer/songwriter Billy Swan released his hit song "I Can Help" the year of this show in Austin. It was a rockabilly number that topped the Billboard Hot 100 as well as the US and Canadian country charts. Swan wrote the song on an RMI organ that his friends Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge bought for him as a wedding gift. Swan is featured at this show at the historic Armadillo along with the Cate Brothers. This poster has just emerged from a recently unearthed and long held collection of Texas material owned by a long time resident and participant of the Austin music scene!
Demand for Armadillo posters is currently at an all time high and we see this as just the early days in a long trend. This can be attributed to several reasons including scarcity historical significance as ground zero in the Texas psychedelic scene and the recently published book on the venue "Armadillo World Headquarters - A Memoir" by Eddie Wilson with Jesse Sublett and forward by Dave Marsh.
