Al Yone singing about our car!
I was listening to an old tape I had recorded from a concert in September of 1998. It was a concert by a regionally-famous blues singer, Al C. Yone. The quality is pretty bad because it's from a handheld tape recorder I had smuggled into the concert...don't tell anyone
I didn't remember that Al had sung this song because at the time I didn't own an SVX (I bought my '94 SVX used in 1999). This was the first time I had listened to the tape in a couple of years and I almost fell out of my seat when I heard it--Al C. Yone singing a song about my car! Unfortunately this song is not on any of his albums so don't look for it in the stores. I have moved it from tape to two different sound formats on my website. Again, sorry for the poor quality of the recording. Enjoy. http://www.subarusvx.com/svxblues.html |

<Shaking head> John, John, John. How sad it is to us "chronologically challenged" individuals, when someone refers to a recording made in 1998 as "old."

Lyrics...I think
>> Could you post the WORDS please? I couldn't understand
>> them over all the applause. I'm not totally sure what ALL the words are but my tape recording is a little better than the sound files. Here are the lyrics to the best that I can make out... ---------------------------------------- I've got a sagging sun visor flappin' in my face. I've got badly warped rotors I'm gonna need me new brakes. I need a new transmission this one's slippin' in all gears. All of these problems are bringing me to tears. I own a Subaru SVX and so it would seem... I've got the Subaru SVX blues. I've got a chip in my windshield but it costs a grand to fix. I've got heat shields that rattle; ABS relay that clicks. And the rear wheel bearings are just roaring in my ears. All of these problems are bringing me to tears. I own a Subaru SVX you know what that means... I've got the Subaru SVX blues. But I like my SVX better than anything by far. You won't catch me sitting in some cookie cutter car. I like the way that people stare and the questions they ask. But I wish they'd stop saying, "Batman called. He wants the Batmobile back." The power steering pump is leaking some oil. I took it to a mechanic, he'd never seen one before. My bank account's depleted I'll be in debt for seven years. All of these problems are bringing me to tears. I own a Subaru SVX you know what that means... I've got the Subaru SVX blues. ---------------------------------------- I could have interpreted some of the lyrics wrong. Let me know if you hear something different than what I have posted. I tried to locate some more information about Al Yone online but I can't seem to find a thing on him ANYWHERE! If anyone knows any more about Al (including how to contact him) let me know. Maybe we could get the lyrics straight from him. |

John, if those weren't the correct lyrics, they should be. Good job. Didn't Al have a follow-up song to that one?
"I've got those steadily depressin', low-down mind-messin', workin'-on-my-SVX blues!" Don
