Brian Walton wrote “In My Little Town” to poke fun at the rumor mill surrounding some of the more scandalous folks who hung around his favorite drinking hole, Bux’s Place, in his beloved Challis, Idaho. However, when some rumors proved true, the song took on a whole new, hilarious meaning for locals, making it a town favorite. In typical fashion, Brian blended traditional instruments with rock elements to create a unique country-rock style, crowned with blistering fiddle and guitar solos that leave listeners spinning on their boot heels.
Bux’s Place was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. From the bullet holes in the bartop to the Deer mounts ranging back to the early 1900s, Bux’s is full of Old West nostalgia. Once a Hotel and Mercantile, Bux’s is the only remaining two-story commercial log building featuring a back bar from the late 1800s. The world-famous neon sign reading “Bux’s Place” dates to the 1930s and has appeared in numerous movies, documentaries, and TV series.
“In My Little Town” by Brian Walton is available worldwide on all streaming platforms, most physical music outlets, and on Touchtunes and Karafun.

Prelude
Friend, let me tell you about my little town
It’s a down home beauty second to none
Prettiest thing that I ever did see
Friendliest folks if ya know what I mean
Well, there’s big drama in my little town
Where the rumors go on round and round
Got the sniffles at noon, you’re dead by 9
You don’t lose your partner, you lose your place in line
Where a little bit of indiscretion
Can lead to a nasty reputation
Where too much drink and too much song
Is guaranteed to treat you wrong
In my little town
Yeah, in my little town
Now, there’s this smoking hot blue jean baby
She loves to drive all the cowboys crazy
But there’s more to her than meets the eye
All the shadow and rouge disguise a lie
Cause there’s something else you should know
Her hubby is propped up there at the door
Drunk as Hell, he won’t do a thing
But the babies at home will ruin your swing
In my little town
Yeah, in my little town
Well, A good time can be had by all
Just check your conscience at the door
Just know this and know it well
You mess around here, it might be hell
In my little town
Yeah, in my little town
In my little town
Yeah, in my little town
