ronstadtfanaz says;
I was rushing home,
through an unmarked zone,.
when some lady cut my Z.
Had to pass her fast in a 35,
when the radar photo’d me.
Oh poor pitiful me.
Poor poor pitiful me.
The boys in blue won’t let me be.
Lord have mercy on me
Woe, woe is me

 

 

 

 

Copperhead Road is the third studio album by Steve Earle, released in October 1988. Steve refers to it a as the world's first blend of heavy metal and bluegrass. Many of the songs on the album are a reflection of Steve's political views from the War on Drugs, The Reagan legacy, poverty, and war. The title song "Copperhead Road" tells of a Vietnam War veteran, from a long line of moonshiners, who returns home to Johnson County, Tennessee and promptly enters the marijuana business, - "I'll take the seed from Colombia and Mexico". Copperhead Road was an actual road near Mountain City, Tennessee although it has since been renamed as Copperhead Hollow Rd. due to theft of road signs bearing the song's name.

"Copperhead Road" - "Snake Oil" - "Back to the Wall" - "The Devil's Right Hand" - "Johnny Come Lately" - "Even When I'm Blue" - "You Belong to Me" - "Waiting on You" - Once You Love" - "Nothing but a Child"   * Buy the CD

 Blues From the Sky. The  band Indigenous displays a striking command of modern blues rock. Although they started as a family band on the Nakota reservation in South Dakota, Indigenous has over the last few years become the province of the sole original remaining member, Mato Nanji. The blues community has always known about Nanji's stellar blues guitar playing, which some have compared to Stevie Ray Vaughn's or Jimi Hendrix. Many of the songs were co -written with his wife and concern strife, both emotional and political. Leah also contributes gospel-inflected backing vocals giving that extra punch to each track. The band originally consisted of two brothers, Mato Nanji on vocals and guitar, Pte on bass guitar, along with their sister, Wanbdi on drums, vocals, and their cousin, Horse on (percussion). The Nakota Nation members grew up on South Dakota's Yankton Indian Reservation, where their father, Greg Zephier, a musician in his own right during the 60s and '70s, became a spokesperson for Native American rights.

Blues Deluxe. As the electric guitar ace Joe Bonamassa was so strongly inspired by blues and blues-oriented six-stringers (i.e., Clapton, Johnny Winter), many of his fans would politely pester him about doing a disc of blues standards. This is a definite "Down n' Dirty Roadhouse Blues album". If axe-men such as Johnny Winter, Rory Gallagher, and Buddy Guy get your motor red-lining, this album is a must. Players: Joe Bonamassa (vocals, guitar); Jon Paris (harmonica); Benny Harrison (Hammond B-3 organ); Eric Czar (electric bass); Kenny Kramme (drums).

Deep Purple. Highway Star from the re-mastered Machine Head was a definite heavy classic, it was here that the band's amped-up blues, progressive instrumentals, screaming guitars, and thunderous rhythms crystallized for the ages, laying the foundation for hard rock and heavy metal throughout the '70s, '80s, and '90s. The adrenaline rush of Highway Star was born on a tour bus going to Portsmouth in 1971 when a reporter asked the band how they wrote songs. To demonstrate, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore grabbed an acoustic and began playing a riff consisting of a single "G" repeated over and over, while vocalist Ian Gillan improvised lyrics over the top. The song was refined and was performed that same night. Current Players are Ian Gillan–Steve Morse–Roger Glover–Don Airey–Ian Paice, former players included; Ritchie Blackmore–Jon Lord–Rod Evans–Nick Simper–David Coverdale–Glenn Hughes–Tommy Bolin–Joe Lynn Turner–Joe Satriani.   *Buy the CD   *'Artist Discography'
