"Funk 49"? "Rocky Mountain Way"?

[CaseyJones]

I bought Kenny Chesney's disc because it has "Shift Work" on it, for the most part you can keep the rest of it. It's my duty to report that y'all ought to buy the disc not for "Shift Work" but because it has a cover of Dwight Yoakam's "Wild Ride" on it. Now I'll be the first to admit that I'm far more likely to be listenen' to old BadCo or Guess Who than to some cracker in a cowboy hat but this is different. "Wild Ride" has that Nashville rockabilly goin' on plus a funk thing that just about made me piss myself. I'm generally anti-pedals but the phasor on "Shift Work" is cool and whatever the hell that is on "Wild Ride" sounds more like Bootsy Collins than Nashville.

If anyone knows what's in Joe's signal path let me know. The talk box I can figure out.

Don't bother with the YouTube version, some BS bootlegged with someone's phone in O.C. just don't cut it!

... some cracker in a cowboy hat...

Now, CJ. Your paintin' with a broad brush "Crackers" are way south of Nashville, and hillbillies are east of Nashville (but not too far). You didn't even SAY "redneck" I'll admit, you've got to pick and choose, but there's some fine guitar pickin' goin' on in country music
The effect on Wild Ride sounds like an envelope filter, but I could be wrong

I was thinkin' "Cracker Mafia Stand Up And Be Counted" as the title but that would never fly on the FDP!

I don't care who you are, you're all welcome to a char broiled burger and a workin' class beer at my barbecue. Unfortunately that rules out vegans, guess I better stock organic beer for them to be PC!

I stand corrected, I swear I ran into hillbillies west of Nashville. What every happened to Ellie Mae?

Yeah I get that much. But which one? It's tracking perfectly which leads me to think Lexicon or something similar.

[drhulsey]

... What every happened to Ellie Mae?...

She ENDED UP in LA, but she started out in East Tennessee

... It's tracking perfectly which leads me to think Lexicon or something similar.

Yeah, I never could get an envelope filter to sound that good That is a kick-ass song

[CaseyJones]

MAN I wish I had the unmixed multi-track to this! I thought at first that the first solo was Kenny's guitar player but the more I listen to it the more I think both solos are Joe. There's a Rocky Mountain Way "ooh bow bow bow" goin' into the first solo then a little "yeeha" voice that I also think is Joe messin' around, the "voice" is probably guitar. The dude's a monster, gimme a dub mix sans vocals. Still, the counterpoint is excellent... there's that clear gospel choir voice over rockabilly/funk.

What would Eddie Cochran think?

If I was prejudiced I'd stick to rock 'n' roll... and I would have missed this one. HEADS UP!

If I had a black belt... I'd be kickin' steers in the head so I could make burgers outta 'em. Like I said, if God didn't want us to eat critters why did She make 'em outta meat?

[drhulsey]

... why did She make 'em outta meat?

And such good tastin' meat, at that
Not that there's anything wrong with being a vegetarian, Eric I love fresh asparagus with my ribeye

Sorry...
I stopped in here because I thought there was some discussion about Joe Walsh. AFAIK, back then it was hot rodded Fender twins.

Did I miss something?

If you haven't purchased Kenny Chesney's "Pirates and Pissants" (or something ) disc yeah, you missed something. In between the Nashville More of the Same there's the Lost Joe Walsh track in the same vein as Screaming Lord Such and Heavy Friends containing the lost Led Zeppelin tracks.

"Wild Ride" is a Kenny Chesney / Joe Walsh cover of a Dwight Yoakam tune. If it don't make ya crap yer britches you might want to do sumthin' about yer constipation! Up to now the only dude in a beat up Panama hat that got my respect was Dickie Betts. Guess I gotta buy a cowboy hat now, huh?

And BOOTS Don't forget BOOTS Real pointy-toed roach-killers If ya wanna attract the BAREFOOT country gals in their cut-off denim short shorts and their blouse tied in a knot, showin' off their bellies And don't forget BAREFOOT

Barefoot... and PREGNANT!! They just go together doncha know?!

I wuz literally sittin' in the stands at the dirt track last night, they had the radio patched into the P.A.. The D.J. sez, "Check our website for celebrity tramp stamps." A-whut?! Well Doc, you probably get out more than I do so you'd know a "tramp stamp" is one o' those lower back bikini tattoos.

I don't know about the pointy toed cowboy boots, Tony Lamas cost too damn much and I'd knock the heels off the first time I hit a patch o' dirt on me scooter. Piss me off, I had a pair of high end cap toe combat boots w/ hobnailed heels, sure enough the damn heels came off within a month on the motorcycle. I'm thinkin' more like a flat track style steel shoe, that would look bad-ass comin' up a cloverleaf w/ one foot down! Or maybe titanium taps on me heels, titanium makes better sparks than steel.

Know what really attracts country girls? A big ol' wad o' cash just like what attracts city girls. True story.

[Structo]

Heheheheh, I had a friend back when I used to ride and he had a pair of corked boots.
You know, the kind loggers wear that have the spikey things on the bottoms.
We'd cruise the gut in my town and he'd get up to around 45 mph and drop his boots to the pavement.
Talk about a light show!
Sparks a flyin'!
The cop that stopped us wasn't amused though.
He couldn't figure out what to write the ticket for so, he wrote my friend a ticket for excessive noise ( exhaust) then let us go on our way......

[CaseyJones]

Totally OT but it's all rock 'n' roll... they tell me rock 'n' roll and motorcycles go together...

On a track bike we try to get everything up and out of the way. You'd be surprised how dirt bikes and road racers need the same amount of ground clearance. Lay a hyper street bike over and you'll find out what your clearance problems are, usually side stand (routinely removed for the track), then pegs, pipe and ultimately the frame. Shove the bike over hard enough in a corner and you can pry the tires off the track surface with whatever touches down first. Not good!

ANYWAY I built a bitchin' chop for one o' my buddies. "Everything lower than everything else." The pipe looked like something we robbed off a garbage truck, it was two into one with this gi-normous turned out collector, that's the garbage truck part. Between the cam, the high compression and the complete and utter lack of baffles in the "muffler" you wouldn't want to put yer beer down near it, the thing would about blow dents in cars as you passed and was probably capable of breakin' beer bottles. O.k., maybe not but it was a big ol' cop caller and certainly capable of settin' off car alarms as we rode by. Here's the thing, though... due to the lack of ground clearance it would drag up on ramps, piss me off! All that bendin', fabricatin' and weldin' fer nuthin'. My buddy said, "Oh, bullshit! Just lay a couple beads of weld underneath where it drags and call it good!!" Replace the weld when it grinds off, see?

O.k., not off topic... "Wild Ride" is now our official Laconia Bike Week Theme Song. Hope we don't owe royalties...
