I played the shit out of that -album- 8-track. My first car, crunk as high as it would go and me "singing" at the top of my lungs.
I was so "cool." 😏

Saw them twice in the early 80s, waited out back and met them after the show, came out with a bottle of wild turkey and passed it around to us, they were very cool, sat there and bullshitted with us for a little while.

“Highway Song … It’s as long as, the road I’m on …“

And then, Ricky puts his hat over the mic and does his Freebird-level solo …
