Just me, this old truck, and my lord

I dig corny old trucker ballads as much as the next guy, and this one's up there with the best of em. What more does a man need- The good lord, your truck, and your damn self.
Dig the cool label graphics too.

Not to be confused with Major league baseballs Joe West- The worst umpire ever to call a game.

Enjoy

Don't say nothin bad about my baby

I can't get enough of these Hit Records sides. And you know, some of them actually give the original versions of the songs a run for their money. This version is pretty good.
That's the way the Cookie crumbles.

Girl you better shut your mouth!

The Pearl

While we're at it- why the hell not.? Since yesterdays post was Pearl Time, i figured i'd throw this one out at you too...

Funny thing, and i didn't plan it this way- It was one whole year, less one day, that i posted the flip side of this record (hear it here.)
Who knew?

Anyway- Enjoy!

Pearl time

As any self respecting rock and roll fan already knows, in recent weeks we lost some of the great black entertainers of all time: Etta James, Jimmy Castor, (honorary black man) Johnny Otis and Don Cornelius. What with yesterdays news of Whitney Houston's untimely passing, i'm beginning to wonder why folks aren't already getting their own "Dead pools" going. Safe money would be on B.B. King or Chuck Berry if you ask me. Christ, ole Chucks got one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel at this point... But me, i like to go for the long shots sometimes. My moneys on Andre Williams. For two reasons: First- He's wicked old, second- i own one of his 45s. (I own plenty of Chuck & B.B. stuff too, but we've heard it all before.) I'm not much of a gambling man so I don't have a method or a system, I just like to keep things simple and follow my gut...
Anyone got any other predictions/wagers? I'd love to hear em.

Here's Andre from 1967, way back when he was only in his early 30s.

Enjoy! And place your bets.
It's Pearl Time!

Condom Nation

The ole Junk Shop Juke Box must have been linked to a site where the generous music lovers of the interwebs congregate because yesterday i received not one, but two donations to my PayPal account from two different followers. (I got two random donations all year in 2011.) To these two kind individuals, i'd like to send out a sincere thank you. To everyone else, i'd like to say that donations are always welcome. Any time... Seriously.
The PayPalbutton is located in the upper right corner of the page, and no amount is too small (or too large.) The money pays the annual fee for my DivShare account as well as allowing me to occasionally splurge on ridiculous three dollar records like this- which i eventually end up passing on to you, the reader/listener. Everybody wins!

Thanks Gerald and Robert!
This ones for you.

Enjoy!
