Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
Brian Setzer's version was a bit more "rockin" but Gene Simmons' original is right there with it.."Peroxide Blonde in a Hopped Up Model Ford"

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
I'd give my right arm to be down there with you all. I'm sure you will have an amazing time. Good luck with your song selection, looks like you have a lot of great songs to select from. Have lots of fun.

We both look forward to it each year, both the hot rod and the vintage displays, and he's learning heaps. That's him by the Pilot (a car that I lusted after as a kid!). It was great to see the love of classic machinery being instilled in kids via their very own push car or motorised model car (the black '32!). Here are a few photos from the hot rod part of our day. Purists, don't look, and if there's not enough relevance here for Ryan, I'll understand. I have purposely included the Stude pickup for Tom Wesenberg. Don't know what the purple monster was - nothing like having the motor right there in your face! |

Yes, I was going to ask who the wise guy was that chopped a nice M-5 Studebaker.

This time there are three shows within 45 min of me: 1. The hot rods at Port Fairy (expecting 100-200 cars) 2. The veteran, vintage and classic car display at Warrnambool (expect 100+ cars - this year "celebrating" the demise of our own Holden as a special feature section) 3. For the first time, the Camperdown Car and Bike Show (expecting up to 500 cars and 250 bikes - I reckon there'll be a heavy leaning toward muscle cars). Such choice! So, inspired once again, on Tuesday night I cranked out another 2-hour playlist full of blues and rockabilly songs about cars on 3WAY-FM 103.7. Here it is. Still hoping to use some of the good suggestions received earlier in this thread for next year's special program! Sean Costello-Motor Head Baby (Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile Rocket 88) Billy Boy Arnold-Nadine (Cadillac) Chuck Berry-Maybelline (Cadillac, Ford V8) Rockbottom James & The Detonators-Burn Rubber Burn (Holden Grey Motor 1948-62. Buick pre-war design) John Lisi-Big Ol' Broke Down Buick (Buick) The Johnny Shines Blues Band-Dynaflow Blues (Buick's auto trannie 1948-63 a.k.a. Dynaslush!) Tommy Ball & Kenny Sultan-It Should've Been Me (Buick, Cadillac) Mark Lemhouse-Electra 225 (Buick) Cecil B Fardoulli & The Big Boo*-Take The Tin Lizzy (Ford T) Oscar Ford-Henry Ford's Model A (Ford A) Bill Gaither (Leroy's Buddy)-Old Model A Blues (Ford A) Rockbottom James & The Detonators*-Broken Down Ford (Ford) The Three Tobacco Tags-V8 Blues (Probably Ford!) Eddy & Blues On The Boyle*-51 Ford (Ford V8) Steve James-The Change (Ford Fairlane 500, 1963) Omar & The Howlers-Big Chief Pontiac (Pontiac - Star Chief models 1954-66) Sonny Boy Williamson with The Animals (Pontiac Blues-Pontiac) Robert Johnson-Terraplane Blues (Hudson/Essex) Archer*-Nasty Swing (Packard) Chickenbone Slim-Hemi Dodge (Dodge) Chuck Berry-No Money Down (Cadillac) Carey and Lurrie Bell-Cadillac Assembly Line (Cadillac) Watermelon Slim-Dumpster Blues (Tip truck!) Rockbottom James & The Detonators*-Hot Rod Tip Truck (Tip truck!) Craig Horton-Ridin' In My Jaguar (Jaguar) Flattop Tom and His Jump Cats-Rocket 88 (Oldsmobile Rocket 88) Sonny Landreth-U.S.S. Zydecoldsmobile (Oldsmobile) Sonny Landreth-Broken Hearted Road (No particular make, just the vibe!) The Doors-Roadhouse Blues (No particular make, just the vibe!)

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
Thanks for the update. Great songs on the list. I just wasted an hour or so here at work listening to a lot of them on Spotify. Hope the shows are good.

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
Always listen to the blues here in L.A. every Saturday and Sunday on KJAZ.
Did not see this on your play list but maybe missed it. Even though I have a 57 Olds, I still like Buick's. Good luck with your show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SgU1FgoQEs |

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
This is a rock/blues song that I wrote a while back but never set to music yet.
My Little Twenty-Nine The Beach Boys sang about a thirty-two. I’ve got me a decent little rat-rod, too. It’s a sweet little truck. I drive it all the time. That’s my bone-crushin’ hot-rod. That’s my little twenty-nine. She accelerates so hard it’s pretty hard to control. I wouldn’t trade it for her weight in gold. It just keeps on pullin’ Right on down the line. That’s my tire-smokin’ pickup. That’s my little twenty-nine. It ain’t that pretty, but it’s pretty mean. Meanest little pickup drinkin’ gasoline! It won’t win any trophies But it’s mine, all mine. That’s my primered-up rat-rod. That’s my little twenty-nine. The girls line up to take a ride with me. They get all dolled up for everyone to see. They want to be the one Wavin’ out the other side Wavin’ at the people who are Wavin’ at my little twenty-nine. I put her all together all by myself I don’t want her belongin’ to no-one else Nah, nah, she ain’t for sale Not now, not any time Mister, you ain’t got enough money To buy my little twenty-nine. She likes blarin’ out rock-a-billy rock-n-roll She’ll make you feel young down to your very soul I know they broke the mold Aw, I got me one of a kind No, man, there ain’t another like my Like my little twenty-nine!

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
Hoogah, do you speak on your program and introduce the songs or do they just play .
If so, tell us the local time you are on air and for how long and I will tune in . http://3wayfm.org.au/ The rest of the world can tune in too when they work out their own time zone compared to Warrnambool. They will prob get a kick out of your OZ strine. |

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
Tod, you’re “Little 29” works to the tune of “Little Deuce Coupe” but needs a 2-Line refrain to be fully compatible. Didn’t know you were a songwriter. Good job! How about a photo to go with the song?

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
Pontiac by Lyle Lovett. A bit slow and melancholy but fits men with a past and times alone in their cars.

Re: Model A Blues/Rockabilly Songs
There was a song written about the Model A for the 1976 MAFCA convention. I reworked it and added some pictures and video and it is on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Beb-O0e7e34
You might like to use it. |
