We should have made this Baker’s Dozen into an Indian Twelve with no room for mistakes! You won’t be able to find this on the web and I can’t quite remember the exact name of it… I know because I’ve looked for it everywhere and my copy is in storage. I found this in a car boot sale. It’s quite funny because it’s covers of country songs with excerpts of CB radio conversations in between them. I love albums with introductions and spoken word bits. Most of these have them. On this there are a lot of people going on about superslabs and using CB terminology. I wasn’t a fan of Dukes Of Hazard but that flared up around the same time. The fashion had moved on from cassettes to 8-tracks and then the big thing wasn’t music but being able to communicate with people in other cars.
