Jamming on Route 66 a la Rolling Stones. DC Cardwell - vocals, guitar; Tony Sables - guitar; Joel Cardwell - bass; Samuel Cardwell - drums.

This was shot live in my home studio using a Samsung VP-D361i Mini DV camcorder and edited with Sony Vegas video. The audio was recorded using the camcorder's built-in microphone thus is not very high quality... check my other videos on Youtube channels cardwell, cardwellers & dccardwellcovers for better recordings by me!

I'm (DC) playing my Epiphone Dot Deluxe (Gibson 335 copy) semi-acoustic, Tony's playing his Fender Stratocaster, Joel's on our copy of a Hofner Beatle "Violin" bass and Samuel is playing a dDrum Diatribe drum kit.

LYRICS BY BOBBY TROUP (chords in brackets)
(As recorded by the Rolling Stones on their self-titled first album)

Well if you ever plan to motor west (G C7 G)
Just take my way that's the highway that's the best (C7 G)
Get your kicks on Route 66 (D7 C7 G D7)

Well it winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than 2000 miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66

Well goes from St. Louie down to Missouri
Oklahoma city, looks oh so pretty
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino

Would you get hip to this kindly tip
And go take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66

SONG INFO FROM WIKIPEDIA

"(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66", often rendered simply as "Route 66", is a popular song and rhythm and blues standard, composed in 1946 by American songwriter Bobby Troup. It was first recorded in the same year by Nat King Cole, and was subsequently covered by many artists including Chuck Berry in 1961, The Rolling Stones in 1964, and Depeche Mode in 1987. The song's lyrics follow the path of the U.S. Route 66 highway, which used to run a long distance across the U.S., going from Chicago, Illinois, to Los Angeles, California. The title was suggested to Troup by his first wife, Cynthia.

RECORDING HISTORY

"Route 66" was first recorded in 1946 by Nat King Cole, whose rendition became a hit on both the U.S. R&B and pop record charts. The version recorded by Perry Como in 1959 is more complete, including the seldom-heard second verse and also the introductory verse.

APPEARANCE IN OTHER MEDIA

The song was performed by Ray Ellington and his Quartet on The Goon Show 'King Solomon's Mines', first broadcast by the BBC on December 2, 1957.

The Manhattan Transfer recording of the song appears on the soundtrack of the 1981 film Sharky's Machine.

The 2006 Disney/Pixar film Cars depicts Route 66 as a forgotten and faded piece of Americana, rediscovered by the main character. The film was originally to have been called "Route 66", and the film's soundtrack includes the popular Chuck Berry version and the Grammy nominated "update version" by modern blues rock artist John Mayer.

Kalup Linzy performed the song while guest starring on the daytime soap opera General Hospital.

The song is performed by the cast of the Columbia Pictures film RV.
