Well...

 

To this old gray-hair, it depends on the day and the mood.

 

Sometimes some swing era girl torch singers. Sometimes Wagner stuff like Liebestodt; sometimes bluegrass; sometimes some old rock/blues stuff. If I'm reeeeally angry at the world, bagpipe marches or le Boudin either a military band version or just a "chant" version.

 

Le Boudin make sure is at the 88 paces per minute march time rather than the faster cadences of most of the world's militaries. It's kind of a "stick it in your ear" sorta thing.

 

Check either on Youtube.

 

But.. for reeeeally turning up loud... This album carried a note that it should be played at maximum volume. So I ran it through my Deluxe Reverb. <grin>

I 'm not just a shred head either. I can dig some classical, bluegrass, country, folk etc... Not much on Rap, Hip Hop, Pop, or techno stuff... Or inaudible scream type vocals...

Better than Garth's "Rodeo." Not much fancy guitaring, but the words...

 

I guess that I knew Chris Ledoux a bit, so it makes it a bit more real to this old boy. Chris was a top bronc rider and ran a darned good rockin' country/rodeo band performance with Western Underground. Yeah, Chris died young from illness.

 

A gal I met last nite - a 70+y-o marathoner who's gorgeous and has been a swimsuit model past age 60 (still could be) - quoted her rancher Dad: "When you're lookin' for a place to fall, you're already throwed."

 

Love ranch country folks...

 

And... the lyrics seen as metaphor might work well elsewhere. Chris had one called "Cowboy Up" I wish kids everyplace could think about. Rock seems to miss the concept of metaphor "cowboy" stuff has.

I hear THAT! And...The Beatles covers, of "Slow Down," and "Bad Boy," too.

Along with their own "Day Tripper," "I Feel Fine," "Hey Bulldog"...Well, Heck...a LOT of

The Beatles songs, for that matter.

 

"Eight Miles High," by the Byrds (among others)...

"We Gotta Get Out of This Place"...The Animals,

"Over, Under, Sideways, Down" Yardbirds....

"Rock & Roll," "School Days," "California Paradise," "Cherry Bomb," The Runaways...

"I Love Rock & Roll," Joan Jett...

"One Headlight" The Wallflowers...

"Super-Massive Black Hole," Muse...

 

And..."It's A Wonderful World," Louis Armstrong!

 

Man, there are just SO MANY others, too, for me.

Six Days on the Road by Sawyer Brown.

 

This isn't the version I usually hear on the electric radio. The bass flourish near the beginning is repeated more often on the other version. Crank it up, FULL BASS!

 

Drives my kids and wife nuts when we're on the road. [woot]

 

 

Then turn the radio back to normal, tend to my bleeding ears. [blush]

The original of "Six Days on the Road" was country singer Dave Dudley.

 

Some covers leave out the "takin' white pills and my eyes are open wide..."

 

<grin>

 

I had more than a couple truck driver friends at the time I was singin' this in saloons in my country phase. Hmmmm. No, I never did. Most of 'em didn't either.
