Good Times Roll

about

When Ric Ocasek passed last September, I started digging into The Cars again. I only have a couple records. They rule fm rock stations across the universe. Good Times Roll will always be one of my favorites of the many hits.. I wanted give a nod to a true American artist. Please, enjoy my take on this classic Cars tune. Perhaps, in some other space Ric is still writing, making music, painting, listening.. This ones for you Ric, wherever you are.

Sounds:

Guitars: Sure 55 on a 60's Stella ash top tuned way down. 60's Kay parlor tuned an Octave up from the Stella, plugged into a Fender Deluxe Reverb.
Sure 55 on a 40's no name parlor used for the slide guitar.

Banjo: Sure 55 on70s Kay 5 string

Drums: Japanese Kit Sure 55 in between the kick and snare and a 57 hanging from the ciieling in the room. Separate take for fills.

Vocals: Sure 55 on both lead and harmony

Samples: Cassette recording of the Hot Pickin Party at the Daily Planet in Burlington VT circa 2016 cut up. some of it reversed.

lyrics

Let the good times roll
Let them knock you around
Let the good times roll
Let them make you a clown
Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the stories be told
They can say what they want
Let the photos be old
Let them show what they want
Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll-oll
Won't you let the good times roll
Good times roll
If the illusion is real
Let them give you a ride
If they got thunder appeal
Let them be on your side
Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Won't you let the good times roll-oll
Let the good times…
