Hello Friends,
"North of Alabama by Mornin'" is the lead off track on Bobby Bare, Jr.'s 2014 release, Undefeated.
Distorted, twangy guitars. Clever and soulful songs about drinking, being on the road, break-ups and America. There's funny songs, sad songs, and (our favorite) funny-sad songs!
This one seems to be about piling your band and your gear into a crappy van and driving cross-country to make your next gig!
Kinda reminds us of LA Turnaround, a fancy nickname for trucker's speed that was used and abused by touring country musicians in the Seventies because they would take enough of it in order to drive from Nashville to Los Angeles without stopping for sleep!
Now that's how you hustle!
