Cactus and a Rose
Cactus and a Rose is a 1980 honky tonk/Southern rock album by Country music singer Gary Stewart. The singer's seventh studio album, it only reached #49 on Billboard's "Country Albums" chart, spawning two low-charting singles: "Cactus and a Rose" (#48) and "Are We Dreamin' the Same Dream" (#66). Produced by Chips Moman, it was a departure from his standard honky-tonk fare, as it features Southern rockers Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Mike Lawler, Bonnie Bramlett (from Delaney, Bonnie & Friends), and Randy Scruggs. According to Allmusic the album proves that "Stewart could have easily fronted the Allman Brothers or Marshall Tucker or, vocally kicked Charlie Daniels' southern rock butt from here to Pascagoula as a great honky tonk singer."[3]

gollark: it's fine apart from lacking drivers for basically everything, which GSIs could maybe sort of fix ish if they were able to implement the HAL somehow.
gollark: It's technically not GNU/, though, because it's Alpine-based.
