Song about a cadillac

It's been a while since I wrote anything new so I figured I needed to have some fun..... so I set about messing around and came up with this.
 
It's about a car.... or is it?

I call it the Caddy Song for lack of a better name.  I tried to keep it simple..... bass, drums, guitars....
 
I'm playing the guitars.... harmonic picking, slide, etc..... It's my first recorded public foray into the realm of slide guitar.... Guitar is my Tele, into the studio boogie, cranked and mic'd.
The bass is me, on midi keys with the Sound center ricko sample.
Drums are BiaB... there are some low level rhythm guitars from BB low in the mix.
I also used some fx in this.... obvious isn't it?  
 
A bit out of my normal country genre, but back in the day I played in a 3 piece band and we rocked pretty heavy.....
 
So.... thoughts, opinions, comments...all appreciated.

Herb, this is a cool song!  I, too, would like to hear the vocal more up front and in your face, but the performance is fabulous.  You did a very good job on the slide guitar, much better than I've been able to achieve.  Good to hear from you again.

Good to hear from you guys..... thanks.... I've always been a HUGE fan of TOP.....
 
So I have a new version that has vox up a few db and some flanging on the lead vox with the echo.... Man I'm braking all my own rules with this one....

Thanks Sven.....
 
In case anyone is wondering..... the lyrics:
 
The Caddy Song
 
She pulled into town on a saturday night,
a white cadillac rolling in the moonlight.
She made all the grown men go weak in the knees
The little boys stared in disbelief   
 
Dual beam headlights shine in the night,
chrome spinner hubcaps, man what a sight
Two tone paint with flames, she sure is looking good,
kinda makes you wanna know what's under the hood
 
You  wanna take her round the block, take her for a spin,
custom leather  seats you wanna slide right in
 
You can outrun the devil with  that coup-de-ville 
Four speed hydromatic tranny built to thrill
nitro burning ponies running hard in the night
Flames from the tailpipes, man what a sight
 
 
ad lib:
awww... we ain't never seen anything like that around this town.
yeah don't hurt me darlin
mercy
take it around the block one time 
 
You can  jump right in throw it down in drive
turn the radio up and enjoy the ride
In the middle of the night feel the wind in your hair,
with your hands on the wheel, going anywhere.
 
 
take her round the block, take her for a spin,
custom leather  seats you wanna slide right in
 
You can outrun the devil with  that coup-de-ville 
Four speed hydromatic tranny built to thrill
nitro burning ponies running hard in the night
Flames from the tailpipes, man what a sight
 
ad lib:
that's right
awwwwwww
I'm outta here
oh say bye bye
mercy mercy mercy
ha ha ha ha ha we're gone

I like as is,that bike engine sound reminds of the album Battle Hyms from Man o War.
Peace

Oh yeah, you are channeling ZZ for sure! This sounds great Herb, though I agree with the comments on bringing the vocals up. Maybe even using Doubler or Microshift on them to get that ZZ Top effect.
 
Update: Just heard the updated version. Vocal is louder, but I still think my comment about Doubler or Microshift is good. Like the new FX as well. Great job all around Herb!
 
Regards,
Dan
 

slide had me smiling....love the Tele bite...
 
fun tune!

I wish I could listen to this but my computer is out of reach and my phone is unable to play this. It works on Soundcloud and Soundclick and youtube but it won't work with these links.

Herb - this is great - you got that guitar to do some really nice quacking. Vocals are off the chart - I love this - just a cool rocker.
 
Herb, you are really good - that's all I can say.

Loved it Herb. Good to hear another one from you! 
 
I think the words have two meanings maybe ;).....My Rolls Royce might not like me looking at the Cadillac.
 
The guitar tones are top notch. The whole composition is a keeper and ready for prime time.
 
I do agree though that the vocals weren't coming out as much as I would like. I'm not sure it's as much a volume issue as it might be an issue with reverb/delay/EQ. I can't really say. Maybe a db or two upwards wouldn't hurt. Very subjective call JMO. I think the vox and guitar are competing for interest at different places but the guitar seems to be winning overall.

Man, I can't play it on my android. Cool lyrics though. And I know that you can throw down some mean licks. Looking forward to hearing it, if I'll ever be able to...

A bit out of my normal country genre, but back in the day I played in a 3 piece band and we rocked pretty heavy.....

 
My first thought exactly....this ain't the Herb that I've come to know.  This has got a ZZ Top flare all over it.  Very nice! Are you playing slide, Herb?  Awesome guitar tones, what are you using for the lead tones on this one?
 
More songs like this please!!!
 
Now your going to have to grow one of those long beards.  
 
Edit: I'm a little slow some times, I went back up to the top and you answer most of my questions in the first post.  It's the Boogie. I might have to search out one of those boys one of these days, I sure have enjoyed the sound of yours over the years.

Leadfoot: hope you got this to play somehow, someway.
 
Wookie: Gotta step outta the box every now and then....I used to be quite the rocker back in the day..... thanks for listening.
 
Mike: Yeah, I'm attempting to play the slide..... it's easy to make noise but difficult to master it. On the whole beard thing..... my wife probably wouldn't like that too much...this is about the best I can do>>>>

 
Ted: I'm glad it grabbed you right from the start...that's what a song should do.  Thanks for listening.

Freddy J:  I have been trying to get a reasonably decent sounding slide for most of my life..... that part is true.  Billy and the boys from Texas have been among my favorite bands and I learned a large number of their songs through the years and played their tunes in more clubs than I care to recall.
 
But.... was that really a song about a Caddy? Or....was it a metaphor for something else entirely different?

Guitarpima.... That is a fine compliment..... Thank you.
