Tippaporn Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Hang on to yer shorts, bannork. Rory is about to unleash his modernised version of William Harris's classic '28 number Bullfrog Blues. This from his '74 Irish tour. Good music fer all yer plants, trees and barnyard critters. H_e_ll, it'll even wake up the dead. Edited January 21, 2020 by Tippaporn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutsiwarrior Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 1 hour ago, Tippaporn said: Tobacco Road made famous by The Nashville Teens in '64. Interesting history about the song. John D. Loudermilk wrote this song and originally recorded it in 1960. He was born and raised in the old tobacco warehouse city of Durham, North Carolina. "I got the idea for writing that song from a road in our town that was called Tobacco Road because it was where they rolled the hogsheads full of Tobacco down to the river to be loaded onto barges. Along that road were a lot of real tough, seedy-type people, and your folks would have just died if they thought you ever went down there." Does that sound like Kingston upon Hull, bannork? You ain't one of those seedy-types, is ya? later on Loudermilk lived around the corner from my grandparents on Belmont Blvd in Nashville...my pal Sandra informed me and I said 'what Loudermilk?' and she said of Tobacco Road fame and I said that's the Nashville Teens...and she said he didn't perform ye silly, he wrote the song... she wrote a pop music column for the Peabody Demonstration School newspaper and got to meet the Rolling Stones as well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's interesting, tutsi. So here's the original John D Loudermilk recording of Tobacco Road in '60. What memories, eh? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalaxyMan Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I used to see Roy Buchanan at a bar near DuPont Circle in Washington, D.C. back in 1971. Can't remember the name of the place, but they had an upstairs that allowed you to literally sit on top of Roy while he played just below.

bannork Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Roy could make a guitar weep, cry, leap with joy, turn cartwheels at 100 mph. A tune below from one of his admirers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
