Comment:
Obviously, I could have made a 10 CD series about each of these `themes', but these were the standout tunes. And I know the CDs are set up "Drivin' & Drinkin'" but it just don't have the same ring, do it? Anyway, Bruce and Bob had to kick it off, and then it hadn't started out as a DUI mix, but it seemed like I kept grouping the tunes, these two streams of thought emerged subconsciously *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*. And Roger's classic always acted as the bridge.Convoy (mmmm.Ali McGraw) is placed here for the same sentimental reason as Rhinestone Cowboy in the previous mix.
Posdata: Freight Train Blues is dedicated to you, Victor.
Posdata dos: doowadette
suggested I change the font since it looked like 'drinkin' & dribin' in the old English font.
Posdata tres: An AOTM faux pas, thanks to Funky Ratchet for the Bloody Mary Morning.
Feedback:
íEso!
Too many favorites to name!
you just don't know how to make a wrong move, do you? another absolute corker filled to the brim with classics - love the cuts from bob, gram, whiskeytown, lucinda, neil young, van the man, hank williams, the rolling stones, merle haggard, the list goes on & on & on...
Outstanding!
Great stuff all around. I'm with the Misfit.
really nice way to say it
Holy shit! This is a masterpiece.
Awesome! Reminds me of the time I was stuck for two weeks in a motor court outside Taos NM
great
I'm with Anthony. Deserved praise from all comers. Great work Derek.
Spot on! This is fantastic, front to back.
Great stuff.
Aaaah, a soundtrack for those of us who remember when drunk driving was a sport, before it becasme a crime. Well mixed sir!
wonderful!
They certainly stand out for me.
It's not big & it certainly ain't clever but Friday nights find me hitting the back roads home from the bar. In 5 years I've yet to encounter another vehicle (mind you probably wouldn't on the main roads either cos I live in middle o' nowhere)Stray cows and ditches are my biggest fear.It's when the Mrs. says, "You didn't drive home in that state did you?" Followed by my inevitable reply, " Course I did, I'm far too drunk to walk." - Then I know it's been a good night. As for the music, as ever quality tunes here mon ami.
What a fantastic road trip soundtrack!!!! Awesome.
great material for a mix . . . I'm intrigued as to the mildly de-hippified Canned Heat, however. What have you done to The Bear ?Never been drinking and driving myself of course . . . .
A classic collection here.
