Bob Stroud, on Chicago's Drive radio station, will be featuring songs of the road this Sunday on his Rock and Roll Roots show from 7 to 10 am, CST.

 

If you're like me, I cant imagine driving down da road without my tunes. They go hand-in-hand.

 

Bob is always very inciteful with his comments, so well worth a listen.

 

You can get the live stream at www.wdrv.com.

The ony one, other than some mobilene hit, that I could guess with confidence was Tobacco Road by the Nashville Teens.

 

I recall feeling sort of cheated when I learned they were from England and not from Tennessee.

 

I did hit the web after guessing and learned that not only were they from England, they still are and they are still performing and recording . Next Saturday they're appearing at The Silver Birch in Bracknell no doubt performing songs from their latest CD "Rockin' Back to Tobacco Road". It's all here: http://www.nashville-teens.com/

"But I love you 'cause you're home."
