Twistin' Down The Highway

A Twisting, Rock 'n' Roll foot tapper.

Uses the Hang Ten style for the drums and bass.

Other guitars and vocals - me (vocals dry at the moment).

Verse
I’m a twisting down the Highway
an’ I’m twisting past the block
All the way down from St Louis
On my way to ”Little Rock”

Find a job down by the river
Find some whiskey on the dock

Verse 2
Well, there aint no time for sleeping
Gotta keep on drivin’ through
Goodbye to ol’ Missouri
It’s been fun knowin’ you

I never stopped at Memphis
I just kept twisting through.

Bridge 1
I gotta keep on goin’
Like a drivin’ man machine
Got a mojo in my pocket
Twenty dollars in my jeans

[Instrumental]

Verse 3
I should have gone to Clarksdale
Should have found a place to hide
I should have gone down into Clarksdale
And took my shotgun by my side

But that’s the life I’m running from
I’ve gotta have my pride


Bridge 2
I gotta keep on goin’
Like a drivin’ man machine
Got a mojo in my pocket
Twenty dollars in my jeans

Verse 4
Now my Journey's ending
The City lights I see
I hope you're not offended
By a guy like me

I twist around from town to town
Hope my troubles don’t follow me

Verse 5
I've reached my destination
There’s a dryness in my mouth
Is this the place that’s meant for me
Should I keep driving South

Is this the place that’s meant for me
Should I keep driving South

Is this the place that’s meant for me
Should I keep driving South

Cheers.
Mike.

Flashback to the late 50's early 60's cool

I really like this one. Great vocal, excellent mix and super guitar chops.

This is a keeper!

Mario, you nailed it with "flashback" - yes what a great 60's sound.

A bit of surfin' music included, everything about this song is great.

Yeah! Good song, Mike. Vocal sounds good to me, as does the guitar, I'm hearing some Chuck Berry licks in there.

Hi Mario, Trevor, Joe, Noel, Dave, Herb and Scott.

Thank you very much for the kind comments.

I came across this style pretty much accidentally and BIAB had the backing up and running in no time at all. So impressed with the range and speed that you can get songs together with this program.

Cheers.
Mike.

Mike,

Great fun with just the right dollop of "mojo".
I have`nt heard this style used before - its a great fit for your song.
Vocal also sounds good "dry"like this.

That's a great mashup of several 60's rock styles...and it works well.

Nicely written, delivered and well engineered.

Enjoyed it!

Hi Janice and Bud, Kenny.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Those drums are great aren't they. They are from the Hang Ten Style. I'm toying with the idea of writing a few more track in that style.

Cheers.
Mike.

Hi Robert. Thanks for the nice comments.

I sort of stumbled on this style by accident when looking for something else and it's definitely up there in terms of quality.

Cheers.
Mike.
