CC Revs the Revs - Lap 5

 


As things stand we are now on the penultimate lap of this series.

Let's start with The Countess of Fife with Goodbye Motorbike Guy. If you think that the voice sounds familiar that it because it is none other than Fay Fife of Revillos fame.

Daniel Johnston was a cult musician and artist from Austin who achieved mythical status particularly when he was championed by Kirk Cobain. If you are interested more information can be found here Here he is with Speeding Motorcycle.

Teen Canteen, a band led by Carla J Easton, were one of the first acts to release music on  the Last Night From Glasgow label in 2016. The album in question was Say It With a Kiss from which Motorbikes is track 11.

A song called Motorcycle Mama by Sailcat featured on the first instalment of this series. Here is another song with the same title by Neil Young.

The chequered flag is out for the final lap next week

  1. Thought you might go for the version by the Pastels over the original by Mr. Johnston just to keep the Scottish theme going, but this is a hell of round up, CC. Certainly gets my motor runnin’. - Brian
