The Return Of Friday Night Is Rockabilly Night 18


Tonight's rockabilly has a hillbilly slant but it's still got that swinging rockabilly bass and rhythm- Tennessee Ernie Ford's 16 Tons, with a song that still rings true.

'You move 16 tons
And what do you get?
Another day older
And deeper in debt'

    Every day is a school day indeed. I didn't realise that the Redskins version was a cover!

    Cheers for this SA.

    Anyone want to post the Redskins version? Haven't got an mp3 of it, and vinyl ripping not working here at moment.

    Always reminds me of the Clash's 16 tons tour which had this as the intro. Thanks, Jez
