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.

Is it possible that nobody mentioned "DETOUR" by Hank Thompson or Willie Nelson, or even Patti Page?

As a sweetener, I’ll put a couple of tracks on early that should interest you.

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

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)

Not a great one, but definitely an example of early Rockabilly
Model A Ford Blues by Lefty Nicks

Hope you enjoy them.

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.

Tom Foster · 01-12-2018, 01:23 PM

From the other side of the tracks is Lightnin' Hopkins' Black Cadillac Blues.
Sorry, I don't have a link.

Just a BTT, in case any of you insomniacs over there want to tune in or set your alarm clock.

You’ve outed me. Yes.

zzlegend · 01-16-2018, 09:15 AM

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.

Zzlegend, I’m impressed (and somewhat flattered!j. You exceeded my expectations! You did rate a special mention as my first known US listener. Sorry you missed it!

What’s all this about an ACCENT?

zzlegend · 01-16-2018, 04:00 PM

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.

When we were in the US, we received several comments about our accent. I loved the puzzled look on their faces when I said "OK, while we are in your country, we have an accent but if you come to ours, you will have the accent."
There was usually laughter all round.

True.

JaxFLG8r · 01-16-2018, 04:35 PM

8:30 pm in Warrnambool is 5:30 am Eastern time in the US.

Just listened to some songs on the "More Country with May" program on Great Ocean Radio. Good stuff!!!

pooch · 01-16-2018, 07:20 PM

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.
