These 4 songs were recorded right after Austin finished recording his breakthrough album, “Somebody Loves You”. While doing some shows and spending time with family in Florida, Austin hooked up with Suburban Home’s newest band, the Takers, to record 4 songs together. The songs include 2 covers and 2 originals.

“Mama Tried” – that’s the easy one. Merle Haggard.
“Sweeter Than The Flowers” – It’s been recorded by several artists, including Bobby Bare, Johnny Cash, George Jones, Kitty Wells and Moon Mullican, but I would have to go with The Stanley Brothers as having the definitive version.
Momma Tried – Merle Haggard
Sweeter Than The Flowers – Roy Acuff
By the way the player is not working, the guesses were made from the song titles only. When I tried to copy and paste the code the only thing that appeared was “undefined”.
I would love to hear this but the player still won’t work. The UTI podcast player at the top of the page and Ninja Gun player just below this post both work fine but this one is dead. I want me some Takers!…and Austin of course.
This bad boy is still dead. Why?????? I would love to be able to listen. I caught the Takers with DTR in January and can’t wait for ‘Taker Easy’ to come out. The Takers will be playing in Lake Worth FL in 3 weeks the night before Jon/Cory/Joey play the same club. There are never any good shows in South FL and now there are 2 in 2 nights.
