The Nashville Teens - Tobacco Road (1964) 4K REACTION

[@dagmar.6954]

Great song! The Nashville Teens were an English rock band formed in 1962. They are best known for their 1964 hit single "Tobacco Road" but they had some other songs such as "Find My Way Back Home", "This Little Bird", "The Hard Way" etc.

Nashville Teens are still just about playing live .

I am surprised The White Stripes never had a go at this. It's right in their ballpark.

Hi Jayy! Good to see you. I've missed so many streams lately.

This got me thinking of Thunder Road (1958), a Robert Mitchum film a few years earlier about moonshiners.

David Lee Roth did a version in 1986. Pretty good.

[@alexfletcher5192]

I think I am right in saying this is one of the long list of British pop singles Jimmy Page played on as a session guitarist (others include Joe Cocker's version of 'With a little help from my friends' and - perhaps counter-intuitively - Shirley Bassey's Bond theme 'Goldfinger'). That factoid has come to overshadow the group somewhat. But it also demonstrates how the British beat boom was so wide and deep that a lot of bands simply fell away and disappeared.

Lou Rawls (I think ) did the original, covered by Rare Earth and probably others, they do a great job.

Actually John D Loudermilk wrote it and recorded the first release in 1960. Lou Rawls did do a version a year before this one, which I really liked, but this one was the only one of those three that actually made the charts.
