Cee Jay
"Take Your Love and Shove It"

Uh, oh! You either don't have the Flash plug-in installed, or you have it disabled.
Otherwise, there'd be a cute lil' streaming audio player on the left, rather than this message.

Cee Jay
Take Your Love and Shove It
7" single
(Amoura Records, 1980)

As I mentioned earlier this year, my folks moved to a retirement home just over a year ago. Amongst the classical, jazz, Gilbert & Sullivan, and childrens' records (mine and my sister's), I found this 45. I'm guessing it belonged to my sis*, as I can't imagine our folks ever buying or listening to country music. Plus, she likes it (more than I, I mean). When I saw the title, I was compelled to stick it in the pile of stuff headed southward to my house.

It turned out to be a fun song, sung by a woman sporting some impressive mom jeans on the album cover I found on-line.

According to the listing on Amazon for the album itself, Pure Country, it dates from 1980. It sure doesn't sound like contemporary country music. That's a compliment.


*I will, of course, return it; if it's hers and she wants it back.

Steve Cameron
"Truck Stop Café"

Steve Cameron
Overloaded Diesel
various artists LP
(Power Pak, 1973)


It's been two months since the last one, so here's another tune from the Overloaded Diesel compilation. As with Pam Gilbert, I've not been able to find any info on Steve Cameron, other than, unlike Pam, he co-wrote his lil' contribution.

You may have noticed I spelled the last word of the title Café; on the album itself, it's spelled Cafe. I'm sorry, but I could not bring myself to spell it that way in the post title. I'm such a pedant.

Pam Gilbert
"I'm Movin' On"

Oh, dear! You must not have a compatible version of flash!

I found this one a few weeks ago, and the cover art compelled me to buy it. I could be wrong, but it looks like the work of cartoonist Charles Rodrigues, who did hilariously disgusting cartoons for the National Lampoon back in the 20th Century.
