Last night it was more 1970's rock for me. One in particular is a huge favourite, Golden Earring's Moontan with their massive hit Radar Love as the opening track.

Below is the UK album cover art, the prudish Yanks got a pretty boring cover ;)

The name of the band and song didn’t ring a bell so I thought i'd check it out. When the intro played it still didn't ring a bell. Then the singing started:

I've been drivin' all night
My hand's wet on the wheel


Then, then I recognised it😅

Mother of a Honky Tonk Girl—Jim Reeves and Carol Johnson

This is solidly in the top ten extremely sad hard honky tonk nostril nosed country classics. Enjoy.


Carol Johnson was only 15 years old when she led on Mother of a Honky Tonk Girl in 1956. She went on to sing with Jim and Jesse and had a few hits of her own.

The raw talent of the singers of the golden age of twang won’t ever be duplicated.
