Texas Funeral

Texas Funeral is the first album by Jon Wayne, originally released by Hybrid Records in 1985. The album was released on CD in 1992 by Cargo Records/Fist Puppet, and was reissued on vinyl in 2010 by Jack White's label Third Man Records.

"Mr. Egyptian" was released as a 7" single in 1992, featuring non-album B-side "Orange Blossom Special".

The title track was used in the movie From Dusk till Dawn, thanks to screenplay writer Quentin Tarantino who was a fan of the album. Tarantino originally wanted to use the song in his own Pulp Fiction but couldn't get in touch with the band at the time.

Australian band The Cruel Sea incorporated some of the lyrics from "Texas Jailcell" in their own song "Better Get a Lawyer", which got into the Australian Top 50 in November 1994. David Vaught (aka Jon Wayne) received a co-writer credit.
