This darker style of rockabilly is very Johnny Burnette Trio-ish. Effing awesome.

[rbound827]

@w4wxp That's because Grady Martin, the guitarist on this record , also played with Paul Burlison on the Johnny Burnette Trio records.

[w4wxp]

@rbound827 It suprises me that no one's done a big cover of this. This song would be bad ass done with some thick, crunchy palm muting in a rock style, with the twangy burnette-esque lead still in there. This was balls to the wall, pure dirty, in your face rockabilly. Which is freaking awesome.

[Annica40]

@w4wxp  Astrolites has recorded this song on their latest album.

[GreaseGasGlory]

@w4wxp

have you heard Wild Wax Combo's version. thats some nasty rockabilly there.

[lonecamper1]

i like all of his songs

[bownarrowmusic]

Dig it!

[defiancedemon]

This song is THE PINNACLE of Johnny Horton's recordings.

[MNExotics]

I am mad that I did not discover this guy until I was in my 30's.

[xatzo97]

[rockabillycat1954]

YEAH, get it Cat!!!

[crockettslate]

[brian4858]

Great track.rated as one of my favorite rockabilly tracks.johnny died young in a car crash.he was married to the widow of hank Williams.r.I.p johnny.

[mafiaguy123]

Johnny Horton is simply the best!

[skatepunkzero]

I can here why Reverend Horton Heat loves Johnny Horton and tributes him. Thank you Reverend Horton Heat for letting me discover Johnny Horton

[GeorgeStrait1986]

Johnny Horton.. The King of Rockin HillBillies!!!!!!!!!!!~

[waitonthecorner]

still very very good

[clean3]

Got a version with Grady Martin playing lead....the unsung hero of rocknroll guitar.

[jamesabilly]

Go Johnny go!!! My fave rockabilly sides are The Johnny Horton cuts from his "Honkytonk Man" era such as this one which feature The "A Team" of Grady Martin- Electric Guitar, Bob Moore- Upright Bass & Buddy Harmon- Drums... Most bad-ass studio cats around. They graced 1000's of seminal cuts from the 50's & 60's & played with damn near everyone back then. My band (James Hunnicutt and The Revolvers) play this song in every set & it never fails to get people excited ;-) Thanks for posting this!

[dozer1665]

It dont get any better than this ... but then it is johnny horton :)

[TheSunRecords]

Awesome song by Johnny Horton and also very well done video by kitsjuke!Hundred stars and thumps up!

[heat2054]

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[defiancedemon]

@heat2054 EXACTLY!

[baldie194859]

it looks like he was a big influence on johnny cash and elvis

[suykie]

@baldie194859 he was a good friend of johhny cash , he has a accedent with a kano and he was killed by the water when he sink,

[waitonthecorner]

very simple song but very very good !

[gamster68]

Grady Martin top guitar man.

[jamesabilly]

@gamster68 Couldn't agree more! One of my biggest influences & favorite guitarists from ANY era. I even have a picture of him in one of my myspace photo albums to pay him respect :-)

[slickandrews]

My FAVE !!

The rockinest song ever.

Too tough (?) for people to play though...

EEEEEEEEEE B EEEEEEEEE B

Too cool.

[0912317]

One chord mostly.(A) throw in an E if you want, friggin' who cares! The best of the best, The universe is ruled by Johnny Horton!!!!!!!

[jamesabilly]

@0912317 The song is in the key of E & the rhythm guitar rides the 1 through the whole song with a quick 5 (B) thrown in at the end of each verse line. It IS practically a one chord song & completely brilliant hillbilly rock & roll. Grew up on Johnny Horton & it has only become better with age :-)

[0912317]

@0912317 Sorry, I played in a band that did it in A, so that was my point of reference.The song is keyed low for Johnny who had a very extensive range. We gave it a slightly bluuesier treatment which seemed to make it alright to not actually play a 5 chord at the end of verse. It goes by so quickly that it doesn't seem to matter, but yes technically their is a 5 chord in there.

[dav01kar]

dedicated 2 truckers everywhere, great bootlegger RIP Johny

[2500mike]

i love this old trucking song. great sound and the lyrics arent goofy. great great song

[rockgor]

I read this was a big hit for Johnny in 1957.

Funny, I was a junior in High School then. I

remember other songs by Johnny, but

not this one.

It has that early rockabilly sound. Light years

away from current rock music.

As a long haul trucker for over 20 years and the son of a johnny horton fan i grew up listening to this and from the very first time it was the song in my mind taking that last exit heading for the house.. funny how things stay connected..peace from east lawrencetown ns can.
