Asleep At The Wheel - "Hot Rod Lincoln" [Live from Austin, TX]

A radio station in St. louis played this song for about 8 hrs straight one day....And we never got tired of listening to it... and love it today..

Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen 😅

I am sixty seven years old and still this song gets me going.

Now that's good times music right there

Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen got famous singing this long--- their biggest hit and best verson of this song for sure! 👍🤚👳‍♂️🎯❗

I saw Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach almost 50 years ago. 😮

Hey we are friends we've hung out dork search me I'm fun love you and I remember quite smoking your uour own not a dork so much fun

For those who don't know: Check out the Charlie Ryan cover from 1948

As a 11 year old midwestern farm boy who would frenetically bounce off the walls every time this song was played I had no idea what or where the “Grapevine Hill” is or was. 20 years later when I was crossing Santa Clarita, heading for Bakersfield then Fresno for the first time - All I could think about was Commander C and the Hot…….Rod……..Lincoln.

I have heard many versions of this song from many performers. This one is excellent; it's just so much FUN!!!!

I recall Johnny Bond's 1960 version and if you can hear it, do so. You're in for a treat. The guitar just carries you along in the Lincoln coup that night. It's still my favorite version of all. True rockabilly at its finest.

Only two versions of this song that I like,the one by Commander Cody and his lost planet airmen and this Asleep at the wheel version.

Ray is a musical genius! Cheers.

I drove mopars Dad never told me to stop driving them he told me to slow down it makes my heart stop when i see daylight under the car.

This song was the first 45 I ever bought for you youngsters that’s a record licorice pizza!!! I believe I bought “ride captain ride” by Blue Image at the same time? Oh and I’m Your Puppet by James &Bobby!! lol😂

Isso é simplesmente fantástico

The band I played in back in the late 70's use to play this and it was always a crowd favorite. Come to think of it, it was the bands fav too.

I've loved this song since the original came out many decades ago. This was a GREAT cover. Ray was just superb and Cindy totally killed it!

Mrs Cashdollar made this song fun!

Like commander Codys version and AATW does a great job with it too

Richard said okay look that was my position before.....ummm 4 years ago and he just kept making us all kinds of money

Before commander Cody was Charlie Ryan

the second record i bought as a kid i wore it out and drove the family crazy i bought that record with pop bottle money 10 yrs old 1972

I saw AATW last week. Still superb! Thanks Ray!

Boy this guy butched this song bigtime!! Get the hook!!

It was 1973 in my 1967 mustang fastback 428 four speed top loader and 9 inch rear end with hot rod Lincoln on the radio

You got it all right.

This song comes from "Hot rod race" off the 60's album Shut Down. He was the guy driving the Model A

I think this the best version; kudos to Commander Cody .

I'm home Mr. Jones from Harvard.🕎

I always called AATW and Commander Cody Texas Swing.

Damn, Ray benson could play the hell out of a guitar

When they wrote good story songs!

I set up the piano for them in 91 on auditorium shores in Austin. When they were walking iff stage i told him he had a great show. He waljed up to me n shook my hand. Thought nothing of it but my crew looked at me like i just spoke to god. Good memory of a great show

1990 ??

Awesome

Shot rod Lincoln

Simply a classic.
If it's not already there, it belongs in the hillbilly rock n roll hall of fame.
The words, tempo, chords, instruments.
They all come together and paint a picture.
I couldn't dance to it, maybe others can.
But, it's simply a great song.
Who wouldn't like to test drive that car?
No seat belts.
But wasn't this commander cody and his guys tune.

Western rap that a person can understand. There’s an idea!

Frank Zappa!

good I'll take Commander Cody original

I was in the Atlanta Airport wasting time. I saw a man sitting by himself drinking. I didn't have any idea who I was sharing a drink and telling stories. It turned out it was Johnny Paycheck. The man I talked with was not what people think of Johnny Paycheck. A gentleman and a personable guy. He is country but religious also.

if ur not a motor head most of this song went out the exhaust, 4/11; 4 barrel. Hell most of u kids have never seen a Hot Rod Lincoln let alone one made with a Model A body and frame. I was not yet a teen when this tune came out but i was a motor head even then and understood every word. Built my first motorized go-cart at age 7. Dove my first Dirt track race for money the day I got my License 2 days after my 16th B-day. Now I am old and my health will not let me drive a car. I have to be happy with my tractor which doesn't go that fast and has a dead man switch in it which I put in. I mess taking a corner marked at 30 at 70.

Asleep at the wheel fan for a LONG time. But I land here and 3 minutes of dead air time=??? who supposedly knows what they're doing there?????

Thank you ALL for keeping some old music alive!

It's been decades since I 've heard that song. It still puts a smile on my face.

I think it’s either a mandola or mandocello but the strings are tuned in octaves instead of in unison.

The Lady plays Beautifully! Thank you for sharing! ❤

I believe that was a twelve cylinder Lincoln.

I love this version of the song. Pretty cool
