Blue Chip and Bag on the Table were my shooting dope songs to. Damn that was a lifetime ago.

They were in that category of the greatest American Band nobody ever heard of. I wore the grooves out of both those albums and still listen to them to this day.

Saw them at an outdoor concert at Crocker Park overlooking the harbor one summer in Marblehead, Ma.

This is the best version I've heard of this song! The superb fiddling is just icing on the top. The NOT stopping the time for the 'weed whites and wine' line is one of the good ideas Seatrain brought to this one.

heard first time in South Africa 50 years ago. still listening

Why are they so good but really known?

As a flautist I prefer Seatrain's original rendition of this song

Got to see him live 1972 at Vanderbilt University in a small venue. The guy was a hoot! But his back-up singers, The Lickettes, kind of stole the show. All in all a really fun show.

Billy Strings sitting on a couch at the back room of a party singing this, what a song, what an amazing kid back then.

ah ! the days of my youth

Far out.

Such a great novelty song

Such musical style and unabashed lyrics. Between country swing and lazz.

You had to see them live to really appreciate them, lived their live shows

Anyone knows what music genre is this? Lovit so much

its not a military rifle its not an aasautl rifle . its a semi automatic rifle . never even used by the militry its semi automatic rifle educate yourself and get ti right . of course losing any human is a terrible thing prayers for you

😂😂😂 Love it!!

Just to let you know...Still Listening

As jvbryant said 11 years ago, this song is NOT on 'Marblehead Messenger.' It is on 'Seatrain,' along with 13 Questions, Out Where the Hills, Song of Job, Orange Blossom Special, etc.

Always loved this tune. The flute and slide guitar compliment each other so well, gives me chills. RIP Johnny

I loved playing this song with the band back in the 70's, a fun classic. He was the first good concert I attended in San Diego, '72 no strutting just hot pickin', then later on until he was losing his edge.! RIP.

I listen to this when I was young didn't understand util I was a Truckdriver ..I even now know the back way so I wouldn't get weighed lol

I have this original vinyl. Nice but hard to beat Little Feat. Just an observation from someone who was there when music was exploding into so many directions.

This band was so great! Second deployment to VietNam in 1970 with VP-48 (US Navy). We knew every song on this album!

If only our local radio stations had played more of Seatrain's music.

Use to stand outside the Vulcan Gas Company Austin Texas in the late 60's and early 70's and listened to johnny ( I was too young to get in). Also, Shivas Headband, Mother Earth Bubble Puppy, best music on this planet

Easily the greatest song in the history of this or any other planet. Period.

I first heard this song in 1970 on a late night radio broadcast. I never forgot it but it would be half a century before I would hear it again. It is every bit as curious a piece of music as I first suspected.

have been looking (unsuccessfully) for seatrain's "song of job" for years.

April 6, 2023.....still listening

This is my favorite of their songs. I saw them many, many years ago, early 70's. As someone stated in the comments this song live is truly amazing and really hooked me. I was a fan from then on. This still gives me goose bumps..

I have this on 8 track cassette and Lp

Another Marin County marvel. I ain't seen any of their work since early '71 been a long time now. Thanks for sharing!

JW doing his ows own country song.

High light of my life!

I saw him a couple times. He was a riot!!

This song was recorded on one of Johnny Winters best blues album ever " STILL ALIVE AND WELL" in 1973 I knew nothing about country music but I love this song..I grew up in New Jersey in 1973...no country music there at that time.. so this song was my introduction from Johnny out of Texas...I only like one country star...that being Johnny Cash...both men so talented..it would have been the best if they had met and went into a recording studio..knowing Johnny Winter .he would have absolutely played at the Folsom State Prison...AMEN

My brothers influance Great to hear again.. Bring me back to Edison NJ

Hello Rob, it’s me Steve. Surely you have to admit by now that Dan is the Man. Only 47 years too late baby. Much love.

Sanford Clark also did a good version of this tune...

This is such an amazing tune.

dont fuck up Hunter,and I wont either

A'HO

Horribly under-rated musician. And with a fantastic sense of humor.

I'm 71 yrs old and first heard Seatrain in '71. Dancing, pullin' on a huge number chockful of Lebanese Gold. Today, I picked up the CD and I'm pullin' on a huge number, but the dancing is a tad arthritic. Kewl.

Who come here after the blood elf joke ? (WoW)

All around player..Nashville never would

Owned this LP IN.1970..love it still.
