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...

Always a pleasure Herb and even more interesting when you step outside your country box.  I enjoyed the playing on this it sounded well arranged and captured with a well sounding mix here.  Anyone who thought that sound was anything but a Harley needs to have them ears tested.  I think the vox wants a little less reverb and that will bring it that tad forward it needs.
 
Thanks for sharing

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.

Grabbed my attention from the start. This is the sort of tune I would love to be able to play - and which is why I tend to write lyrics as I just don't have this talent. Good bit of fun, total road music.

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.

Excellent stuff Herb --- I love it!!  You really nailed the Z Z Top feel and attitude.  The slide sounds like you been playing it all your life!  I wonder how many songs have been written about Cadillacs?

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?

This is really nice. If I heard it just anywhere I would have thought it was ZZ Top. Excellent work!!!

The song is cool, the mix lets it down slightly, I'd like it to be a bit more pumping.  Very 80's were Hardcastle and McCormick!!
