By the way, for those who haven't heard yet... Ray Charles just died. "Unchain my heart...And set me free..."
[ QUOTE ] What about T model boogie by Roscoe Gordon?........Marq [/ QUOTE ] Where did you get a copy of that??? I got it....from Rosco a couple of years ago when he was in the UK for the Rhythm Riot. I picked him up from Heathrow & took him down there, he gave me it on a demo CD!
Two of my all time favorites - "Sacred Heart of the Highway" and every time I pull onto I10 headed towards California I always turn on "Texas 10 West". Both songs by a great band named Blue Tip. The Clash's London Calling has been and will always be my favorite driving music.
i got mine from the riot as well cant remember what stall tho as i was pissed at the time,it's about the best drunk decision i ever made.............ah thats another Drunk by Jimmy Liggins.......hey you going to the riot this year ?..........Marq
Mannish Boy off the Muddy Waters CD Deep Down In The Blues this week. Raw energy needs to be played loud. Judd
I used to have a old Charlie Parker tape that I liked to listen to while drivin... Summer evenings, the back roads of WV, and Charlie Parker. Livin good...
Lol, mine are different than most peoples...it depends on what itme of day it is or weather it is. If its raining something like Riders of the Storm, if its at night I like to listen to some of the more instrumental Pink Floyd, and during the day cruising through downtown during the summer anything SUBLIME!
Duane Eddy's Rebel Rouser is Kickass, Suzy Q, ahh, Beach boys, Just about anything from The Gearhead Records, Lotsa Led Zepplin (When the Levy Breaks) Stuff like that. But mostly I like the sound of a Ford engine. -Crew
I think I'm with Hooligan on this one with a few exceptions.. Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" The Rev "Liqour in the front.." 7 Seconds "walk together,rock together" And anything from Bad Religion up until Mr. Brett left, though he's back again so that may change. Generator if I had to choose Those are of course the entire recordings..to hard to pick one tune Right now,though, it's Fugazi you'd hear if ya rolled up next to me
The other day as I was driving the blue truck out to Norco, I decided that listening to Sam Cook's "Let the good times roll" on his greatest hits album for a week straight was enough so I dug another cassette out from the box under the seat and plugged it in. Ahh, Marty Robbin's greatest hits...El Paso, Saddle Tramp, A White Sport Coat, Big Iron, Ride Cowboy Ride....I'll probably switch to BB King, Social D, or SRV next
Dr J you scare me sometimes, Dude! I remember when Marty Robbins died...I was in high school. Went to my classes that day all bummed out, and it pissed me off that nobody in the school (aside from teachers!) even KNEW who Marty Robbins was! Still listen to my OLD COUNTRY tapes (Garth Brooks killed country music!) as often as possible...and still know the words to every Marty Robbins tune...LOVE El Paso, Big Iron, Red River Valley, Saddle Tramp, and the only reason I remember any details at all about the Alamo is because of his song "Ballad Of The Alamo"! Marty Robbins, Tom T Hall, David Allan Coe, C.W. McCall, Johnny Paycheck, Willie, Waylon, Haggard and Jones...that's the stuff, man! Disco is fun, but old country is REAL! Guess the secret is out...I'm just a hillbilly hiding in Motown!
well still aint got no lyrics to go with ya likes.lyrics is good and some of the best are from Chuck Berry's Nadine they go somit like this.......I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back ,started walkin toward a coffee Cadillac i was pushin through the crowd tryin to get to where she's at i was ramblin shoutin like a southern diplomat...............they don't make em like that anymore,it's a real clever piece of writing that could only come from chuck berry.........Marq
[ QUOTE ] i got mine from the riot as well cant remember what stall tho as i was pissed at the timehey you going to the riot this year ?..........Marq [/ QUOTE ] I know that it came out on The Rhythm Riot cd the following year...I have the demo version that went on that CD! As for the Riot...Nope, 6000 miles is far enough away to be a good enough excuse, much as I would love to go see Hank Thompson play...I really don't know how Robin finds em! Ah yes, Shotgun Boogie....
Hank Thompson is great but JOE HOUSTON wow ,that guy is my absolute hero as well as big jay mcneely who i have seen already and he blew me away.....Marq
P.s shotgun boogie yep but the original with cootie williams and Eddie mack if you can find it if not get winmx and ill send it to ya........Marq
For night cruisin' I have always liked the sound of Runaway by Del Shannon. And I'll second the vote for Green Onions, than add Walk, Don't Run. Yall prolly never heard of a band called Flight 180, but they have a cool song (maybe a cover?) called "Look at that Cadillac". It's got a kool jazz-a-billy beat. My iPod just popped up Little Darlin' by the Diamonds. That's a pretty cool one, too.
Much of what I've been listening to lately has been some Rockabilly stuff I've found around the web (IUMA, WinMX, etc). I really dig the Hillbilly Hellcats and a few others that aren't coming to mind at the moment. But I also found a site called www.radiorumpusroom.com and I've listed to much of their archival stuff. Very cool! I'd highly recommend y'all check it out. -Taylor
I' aint gonna give my "favorite" up on here for the entire world to see.. But this one time when TOKYO, EDMURDER AND I were drivin back from A swap meet..I SWEAR that ed was singing "ITS RAININ MEN" while I was drivin and TOkyo was snoozin.. that was scary... sawzall
Too Drunk To Fuck Dead Kennedys If You Don't Want to Fuck Me (Baby, Fuck Off) Electric Chairs Surfin' on Heroin Forgotten Rebels Jesus Built My Hot Rod Ministry No Ass Tattoos Jerry Jerry and the Sons of Rythm Orchestra or Anything by Disco Tex and the Sex-o-lettes
I have a whole stack of CDs I like to cruise to but if I had to pick it comes down to two right now. Number one is high energy for getting started on a road trip or cruise: The Contender by Royal Crown Revue and number two is a long-stretch-of-road kinda tune: Are You Going With Me? by Pat Matheny. Those two float my boat the best. Michael
[ QUOTE ] Dr J you scare me sometimes, Dude! [/ QUOTE ] I scare myself some times. I switch back and forth between the jazz station and the country station on the radio and like them both way better than the crap they play on rock stations ("LA Woman" was NEVER a "Hit record"!) [ QUOTE ] ... Marty Robbins, Tom T Hall, David Allan Coe, C.W. McCall, Johnny Paycheck, Willie, Waylon, Haggard and Jones...that's the stuff, man! Disco is fun, but old country is REAL! [/ QUOTE ] Disco is the reason I quit listening to "pop" radio and got into country/western music. (Now, I'd rather listen to Disco for the rest on my days than endure one "rap/hippityhop" recording.) "El Paso" was the first 45 I ever bought when I was 10 and it was a top 40 cross-over hit in '58.
