Comment:
The title is truth-in-advertising. This CD begins with the biggest hit song ever about CB radios, C.W. McCall's "Convoy" (a #1 hit single in 1975) and the biggest hit song ever about a video game, Buckner & Garcia's "Pac Man Fever" (#9, 1982). What follows is a bunch of other tracks from Buckner & Garcia's classic Pac Man Fever album and the songs from an album Radio Shack released (on the Realistic label, no less) in the mid-70s called "All Ears--10 New and Original Song Hits With a CB Theme." As the note on the cover of the album describes it: "Music for every taste--pop, rock, soul, country, truckin'--sung and told in the vernacular around which Good Buddies have built a cult of togetherness." The liner notes also say that All Ears "is contemporary folk music for the 'now' generation." I'd like to think the Pac Man Fever album is "contemporary folk music for the 'now' generation" as well. Interestingly, Buckner and Garcia are also responsible for "Waffle House songs," those songs about Waffle Houses that you can find in every Waffle House jukebox. I was going to add the Pretenders' "Space Invader" and a classic Waffle House song called "Special Lady" as bonus tracks to this mix, but the symmetry of ending it with "Tonight I Talked To The Lord" was just too perfect to mess with.Feedback:
When you told me about this mix, Convoy immediately came to mind, of course! I haven't heard the rest of this, but it looks like you mixed the B&G and Radio Shack (!) lp nicely. Ali McGraw on the cover is a MUST! 10-4...
What a riot - I live for crap like this. On a recent flight, as luck would have it, I sat next to the guitarist on that Convoy session - Some guy who's in the Nebraska music hall of fame. I would love to trade for this AND the Waffle House lp (if you've committed it to cd).
I've got that "All Ears " album , whatta classic. I have another album that is a c.b. language instruction record. great stuff, those advert records.
Jesus, I actually have both these albums. I can't imagine what would happen to my mind if I listened to them both together. You're a brave man ;-).
This mix is a beautiful thing. This takes me back to the day when my mom's old boyfriend traded his pong game for a CB radio. Or was it the other way around...
