Unfortunately, too, it seems that major a-hole Robby Gordon is wore out from going it alone and had to hook up with Evernham. I don’t like to see another team, especially an owner/operator, getting sucked into an(other) amorphous glob of a team. I like Robby a lot, and I root for him because he’s such a hard-driving banty rooster.
Gordon took a severe financial hit when the Dakar Rally was canceled last month due to terrorism threats. He estimated his losses at approximately $4.5 million and was furious organizers didn’t run at least a portion of the 16-day race.
Gordon built two cars for the event, and invested more than $1 million into each of them. He said following the cancellation of the event that it would take a considerable amount of time for Robby Gordon Motorsports to recover from the setback.
I can just see Gordon throwing an AR and some extra mags in the back seat and saying Piss on any damn terrorists.
Check out the sax players huckin’ and bucking at the beginning. Dang hillbillies…
Here’s an undated version with naught but guitars and rhythm - Thompson goes kind of solo crazy for the last 2 minutes and it’s awesome Guitar God stuff.
A 1999 version - this one I love for the supremely Scottish enunciation and the sax-heavy background:
For comparison’s sake, now, try out this Patty Loveless Grand Ol’ Opry version - the soul’s been sucked out of it, thanks to Nashville. The fiddle is a real good accompaniment for the song, being Scottish and all, and Patty’s got a pretty voice, so it’s not too much of a beat-down:
There endeth the lesson — good stuff.
Now, to wash that out of your brain, here’s Hank 3 doing Straight to Hell, live from what looks like Stubbs in Austin:
And if you click the link, you can find the country song with the filthiest swearing ever in country, and it’s an awesome live version of it. Rock on, pimps…all that Hank 3 live stuff just kicks ass. Makes me want a beer, even here at 11 on the Lord’s Day. “And I’m looking for that gal/about 5 foot 10/I’m gonna take her down that road/of living a life of sin”
