Pandemic! 2020: Music to Quarantine By [track 4]

Oh no-- singing!!

Don’t say you haven’t been warned.

Odds are you’ve never heard this song.  It was a hit on the country charts for Del Reeves in 1965.  Del Reeves sang songs about two things:  looking at girls, and driving trucks.  This combines both of those interests.  If only there were a verse about getting drunk, it would be the perfect country song. 

 

There were two challenges in this one:  first was to learn the strange cadence of the vocal which is not necessarily in time with the rhythm of the instruments.  Second was adjusting the amp & effects to try to capture that perfect Bakersfield twang on the lead guitar ukulele.  Nailed it!
