Don't Push Me Too Far

SKEETS McDONALD - Don't Push Me Too Far (Capitol F3600)

While some of the sentiments of the Eddie Miller-penned "Don't Push Me Too Far" don't jive too well in today's world (I'm gonna take my fists and change the color of your eyes), the song still stands as one of the finest moments in the impressive Capitol-era catalog of Skeets McDonald. Fine fiddling and slick steel... the band clicks, and Skeets ticks...

I'm on a liquid diet
I've been a shaking all night
Now don't push me too far.

Add this side to that side - "You Better Not Go"- and you have the finest single in Skeets's career.
