“Hey Buckaroos, It’s Scamp Walker Time Again.”

That immortal exhortation by original Cosmic Cowboy, Jerry Jeff Walker, introduced the legendary album VIVA TERLINGUA!to the world in 1973. And, in fact, it is “Scamp Walker Time Again” in celebration of the “GypsySongman” himself and the 50th Anniversary of the album that captured the developing spirit ofthe Austin sound and Outlaw Country movement. This timeless masterpiece, featuring theacclaimed Lost Gonzo Band, immortalized the iconic town of Luckenbach Texas nearly fouryears before Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson would put it on an international map. On August 18 and 19, critically-acclaimed singer/songwriter Django Walker, son of Jerry Jeff and Susan Walker, will produce a 2-day 50th anniversary celebration of VIVA TERLINGUA!, in partnership with the town of Luckenbach. Kicking off the festivities on Friday night is a special preview screening of “THEY CALLED US OUTLAWS,” the highly-anticipated six-chapter, twelve- hour documentary on the history and legacy of the Outlaw country-rock movement of Cosmic Cowboys and Honky Tonk Heroes, directed by Austin’s Eric Geadelmann and presented in association with the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum. A Jerry Jeff Walker short film was created exclusively for the event to celebrate the industry-changing album and highlightthe story of Luckenbach’s Hondo Crouch and his friendship with Jerry Jeff, plus never-before-seen archival footage and interviews with luminaries of the past and present.

The celebration continues on Saturday with an outdoor dance under the Luckenbach Moon, with many surprises and special guests.

“Music brought my Pops so much joy,” Django expressed, “and VIVA TERLINGUA! captured the joy in the not knowing, as I like to say. As in, ‘where’s he going with this?’ ‘What’s going tohappen next?’ And, ‘how’s this going to turn out?’ This 50th Celebration is an extension of that mystery --- ‘who’s going to play? ‘What’s going to happen next?’”
