Burl Ives (and Grady Martin And His Slew Foot Five) - Diesel Smoke, Dangerous Curves
Assuming that you've never heard this record, it's safe to say I was as shocked as you probably are now to learn that Burl Ives made a great record. It definitely didn't hurt that he had the legendarily talented Grady Martin manning the guitar for the session.
lovely Decca label, reminds me of the early Rolling Stones records from UK, all on Brit Decca, different lay-out..... got them all in my coll!! (FFRR unboxed)
ReplyDeleteThis song was once described to me as the, "Louie Louie" of truckin' songs.
ReplyDeleteThis is great - thank you!
ReplyDeleteMust be a misprint on the label - this CAN'T BE Burl Ives!
ReplyDeleteI know....I'm still trying to come to grips with it myself.
