Yes, this song is monotonous, static, and a really unimaginative use of the Beatles "Come Together" riff as well excruciatingly long...my God!

This song makes me want to hang out with James and his whole family.

I don't know how you do it, but it seems like every time I tune in RP, you are playing EXACTLY what I need to here in that moment. Choctaw Bingo hit the spot, thank you.
And thank you again for all you do...I've hooked two new avid listeners here in Western MA just in the last few weeks.

That is all. You got a problem with "The Dukes of Hazard"? |

I keep waiting for the "bridge" that never comes. I still like it. One great driving song...

I am reading that many don't like this and it is too long. I tell you, if something is good, it's good and you should keep going. I love the lyrics and, even though it's repetitive, it's a good riff to repeat. Gave it an 8. Love it. |

Roscoe's from Illinois. Bob and Mae could easily be from the south side of Texoma. Ruth Anne and Lyne are from Kansas. :p
It's kinda strange, if you dig into the lyrics, none of Slayton's kin (with the possible exception of Bob and Mae) are actually from OK, but that's where the reunion is being held cuz Slayton is getting too old to travel.
The subculture is centered around the confluence of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas. East Texas and western Louisiana have historically been pretty lawless: neither state had any interest in policing the area, so it was a haven for 'shiners, fugitives, et al. |
