There are a lot of ways that this song can be played, ranging from Blues to Pop. But in my opinion it works best when it Swings, Texas style. This is the best version I've ever heard.
Hey buck I love your cover music I was wondering if there was a way to get a copy so i can play it while i drive I really love the cover's and music u pick to sing they all awesome Keep it up man.
Love this. I knew if I thumbed through enough of your dynamite music, there would be at least a few I'm familiar with! I've always only sung this in a jazzy/bluesy way ... this is so refreshing and I'm sure it started out this way. :)
My friend Dick does this number he played for Gene Vincent in'63 before his return to the USA. The bass player sings it and always fluffs the words. So I often say to him "Don't forget Winona" and you don't go to Flagstaff twice unless you get lost and turn back etc. His problem is he's in so many bands he forgets the words. "It's Wednesday, so I must be playing in "Southern Nights" tonight. What do they play?" It's easy to criticise- at least they do a great swinging version Dick's Tele glides!
I've got the Bobby Troup CD seen in the background- swinging music with Herb Ellis on guitar, too!Recorded live for the radio, great stuff. Bobby wrote the song- a big hit for Nat King Cole. Route 66 "Main Street, America" back then.
No, I read the Choo Choo info- all good stuff. I met Commander Cody twice in the early 80s at that Dingwalls venue in London. You have posted loads of good songs- well done, excellent effort. You are either up very early today, or staying up late! Keep doing your thing- I like it.
The senseless slaughtering of good ole Route 66 into little disconnected bits n' pieces has always angered me. Hidden icons of Americana can still be seen along the route,but are sadly disappearing.
This rip roarin' ode to the glory days of Route 66 as performed by you has revitalized many happy memories of my motorcycling along there (with Ro in the back grabbin' onto my waist,her hair blowin' in the wind).
Thanks Buck. Now I get my kicks on You Tube avenue (listening to you and BCBBand)and all my other musically inclined friends on here. Thanks for this 5 star version.
I love that song Buck, and you did an excellent rendition of it, I really liked that 'boogie rhythm' groove you had going on this one. Great job, I liked it... FrAnK (5*****)
well kicks is with me. and now i know where will i get them. and you have to start thinking on a partnership with the discovery channel or some history program. in the end always is a story.
love the music
