What music enhances your flathead sound?

[Old Henry]

Just curious. What music do you play in you car when the warm sound of the flathead is not quite enough?

For me it's 40's love songs, Glen Miller's original big band recordings, 50s rock and roll, the local oldies (60's - 90's) AM station, old radio shows, Vivaldi, Jack Johnson.

What are your favorites?

I was raised listening to Big Band and Swing, and I think it would be totally appropriate for riding in an old Ford. Myself, I like to listen to Bluegrass, Old Time and American Roots music. Some Sinatra might be cool in a pinch.

BanjoQ..... Your tastes mirror mine perfectly. I happen to play double bass in a band playing bluegrass, old time and American roots music. My current faves are the Foghorn String Band and the Caleb Klauder Country Band.

Frankie Vali and the Four Seasons.....

Same here.

Nothing like the solid lifters humming to a sweet sound of cherry bombs. Priceless!!

I'm a little too young for big band music (although I like it), no radios in my cars( yet ), but occasionally the soundtrack of American Graffiti will go through my head as I'm driving my old cars.

I have found that The Mavericks are the best garage tunes for working on my roadster. When I get it running they will probably be joining Asleep at the Wheel playing Bob Wills tunes to share speaker time.

I have an old drive in speaker converted into a speaker for an ipod. Still cant quite figure out how to work everything on the ipod but I play 50s rock and roll and a lot of rockabilly music.

I love music, pretty much all kinds, but when I'm driving most of our Flatheads, I like listening to the resonant tone of the steel packed Brockman Mellow-Tones... Now that's music to drive a Flathead by...

[JimOH]

I like the love songs of the late 50's and 60's. They remind me of the Cruis'n Times of that period. Also Rock & Roll of the same era. I guess that dates me.

[Fibber Mcgee]

Glenn Miller, Count Basie , Harry James, The Dorsey Brothers, Louis Prima, The Andrews Sisters, Vera Lynn and Louis Armstrong to name a few and I'm only 40.

The MAVERICKS fer sure.....I'm happy someone else knows of them, Raoul Mallo, the
best...thanks '36!
Big pipes and a homemade quickchange whistlin' down thru the Pennsylvania
Mountains on US 15 ain't bad either.

I have XM radio in my '38. I like 40's on 4, Willies Place, Sinatra.

My late father was a Big bands/Jazz fan particularly Genn Miller and Benny Goodman. We played lots at his funeral. (he was also disgusted when his dad got a 35 V8 as a company car and he wanted a Chevy!!.....we disagreed on a lot of things).

Myself I don't have a radio in the coupe so the engine is just fine. I like to crank up bit of Motorhead, Iron Maiden, S*x Pistols, Stevie Ray Vaughan,Eagles, early Stones,The Who, The Animals, "hippy era music", Johnny Cash, Orbison or even Merle Haggard, so my taste is wide....but no rap crap!!
