These guys getting together is the perfect combination. A match made in heaven. We got “chocolate in our peanut butter, peanut butter in our chocolate”. Seen Jimmie many times in the last 25 years, but never Dave yet. They’re touring right now, summer 2024. I’m gonna see them in Chicago AND Ann Arbor….cuz I am JUST that cool….🙏🎶🎭🍺
Well I’m a wild blues blaster from a sunburnt California town And I gotta loud Stratocaster that can blow any roadhouse down You know I been up on the mountain And I looked for the promised land And I been to the Ashgrove And I shook Lightnin’s hand Now I’m leaving tonight people I’m Downey to Lubbock bound Well I’m an old flatlander From the great high plains Like wanderlust and wonder West Texas wind blows through my veins But it seemed like California Was the place to be For a hippie country singer That was me And I’m leaving tonight man I’m Lubbock to Downey bound Forty years on the highway Livin’ on dreams and gasoline Yet somehow still surviving On Advil, Nyquil and nicotine Every city and every heartbreak Every hopeful kiss Every road I’ve traveled Has led me to this Now I’m leaving tonight people I’m Downey to Lubbock bound Well I took a lot of detours Cul-de-sacs and dead ends But I made a lot of music And I made a lot of friends I took a lot of turns Maybe some were not that good If I had to do it over Well I surely, mostly would I’d stay right on this highway That’s Lubbock to Downey bound Well I’m a wild blues blaster Looking to find what can be found And I’m an old flatlander I’ve been round and round and round I know someday this old highway’s Gonna come to an end I know when it does You’re gonna be my friend So, I’m leaving tonight people I’m Downey to Lubbock bound I’m leaving tonight I’m Lubbock to Downey bound credits

Am I the only person thankful that Smokey “marked it zero” in ‘99? If he hadn’t, we may have missed out on this music many years later!!
It was a league game
That rumble from Dave’s Strat is pure badass!
All I can say is awesome, listened many times.
Dave is an awsome guitarist!!!
Hell Yes! Rocken Country Blues with some Califorina to Texas roots...
Well I’m a wild blues blaster
from a sunburnt California town
And I gotta loud Stratocaster
that can blow any roadhouse down
You know I been up on the mountain
And I looked for the promised land
And I been to the Ashgrove
And I shook Lightnin’s hand
Now I’m leaving tonight people
I’m Downey to Lubbock bound
Well I’m an old flatlander
From the great high plains
Like wanderlust and wonder
West Texas wind blows through my veins
But it seemed like California
Was the place to be
For a hippie country singer
That was me
And I’m leaving tonight man
I’m Lubbock to Downey bound
Forty years on the highway
Livin’ on dreams and gasoline
Yet somehow still surviving
On Advil, Nyquil and nicotine
Every city and every heartbreak
Every hopeful kiss
Every road I’ve traveled
Has led me to this
Now I’m leaving tonight people
I’m Downey to Lubbock bound
Well I took a lot of detours
Cul-de-sacs and dead ends
But I made a lot of music
And I made a lot of friends
I took a lot of turns
Maybe some were not that good
If I had to do it over
Well I surely, mostly would
I’d stay right on this highway
That’s Lubbock to Downey bound
Well I’m a wild blues blaster
Looking to find what can be found
And I’m an old flatlander
I’ve been round and round and round
I know someday this old highway’s
Gonna come to an end
I know when it does
You’re gonna be my friend
So, I’m leaving tonight people
I’m Downey to Lubbock bound
I’m leaving tonight
I’m Lubbock to Downey bound

I saw Dave and the Blasters at the Hully Gully Club in Downey, CA about 1981. Great show!
If I ever decide to steal a car and a six pack, this song would be part of the soundtrack of my misadventure.
Yes! Bound to end up on a great movie soundtrack someday.
Saw the boys last week in Glasgow. Simply superb
Look at Smokey absolutely rocking it!
Just heard the reference in the novel “Bloody Genius” by John Sandford. In the Virgil Flowers series. Had to listen, now I’m hooked!
lethal brilliant fantastic ,
If you can’t dig this music, we just won’t get along....
Would love to have a chance to see them play this in Lubbock!
“Dude, this is you partner…”
“You happy now you crazy fuck?”
