Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
Arkie Shibley's Hot Rod Race and its sequels (same tune, different lyrics) - pretty hardcore rockabilly:
1. Arkie's Ford races a Mercury and both get passed by "a kid in a hopped-up Model A" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBOcJKYQe0E 2. Arkie bemoans the poor condition of his Ford after the race https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7pDjsUnVmQ 3. Arkie gets arrested for street racing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uusZYXZinc 4. The Mercury driver, also in jail, tells his side https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svq1-Wxsc2A 5. The kid in the hopped-up Model A tells his story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV-biKyGuHs Shibley's songs inspired Charlie Ryan's Hot Rod Lincoln, which he recorded in 1955 and again in 1959. There have been covers by Johnny Bond, Red Foley, Commander Cody (my favorite), Asleep At The Wheel, Jim Varney, and several others. Some sources say Ryan wrote the song about his own car. Others say he wrote it as a rebuttal/sequel to Hot Rod Race and built the car only after the song became popular. |

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
Is it possible that nobody mentioned "DETOUR" by Hank Thompson or Willie Nelson, or even Patti Page?

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
Here are a few of my favorites. I don't think that you had these on your list. They are not necessarily Rockabilly. Some are Western Swing, folk, or just old-timey.
Cadillacin' Model A The original by Bob Wills Click to listen - Cadillacin' Model A by Bob Wills A nice Western Swing version by Red Knuckles & The Trailblazers Click to listen - Cadillacin' Model A by Red Knuckles & The Trailblazers Daddy's Old Model A by Doug Spartz Click to listen - Daddy's Old Model A by Doug Spartz Little Ole Model A by Buzz Martin The Singing Logger (this one is goofy, but it just cracks me up) Click to listen - Little Ole Model A by Buzz Martin Not a great one, but definitely an example of early Rockabilly Model A Ford Blues by Lefty Nicks Click to listen - Model A Ford Blues by Lefty Nicks Hope you enjoy them. Ken

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
Even though these guys aren't from the 50's, they can still get in to the blues. Hey, us bearded guys have to stick together. A good garage song.

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
From the other side of the tracks is Lightnin' Hopkins' Black Cadillac Blues.
Sorry, I don't have a link. |

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
Just a BTT, in case any of you insomniacs over there want to tune in or set your alarm clock.

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
Well L.L. aka Hoogah, I some what failed. One a.m. awoke to listen to your show. Rolled over and failure occurred. Two a.m. fell out of bed, stumbled to the keyboard, typed in wrong buttons three times, finally got on to the barn and listened to a few songs. And also got to hear your voice. I like the slight accent you have. Cant remember all the songs, but one stood out.
"Better slow down and turn it around." I think that was the name. I will try again next Tuesday. Thanks for all you do. |

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
Well bummer. I was trying to figure out a way to record your show. Maybe I can do better next time.
Accent,,,,,,,,,,you know,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you Australian guys have that certain gifted speech. And that's not a bad thing. You sounded great on the air. Hell I have enough trouble speaking. My hair keeps getting in the way. |

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
Hoogah / Lazy Lester, I listened in to the whole show.
Must say I am not a big blues fan. I almost dozed off a few times. Was a bit of fun to hear us here mentioned a bit on air. Your voice sounds much different on air than in RL for sure. Just a bit of trivia, but Hoogah's Model A in his avatar and mine in my avatar are the SAME car. He is the next caretaker of it. |
