Need some suggestions for CD's

NewbieZ71 · February 9, 2002

Not sure if this belongs here or in the Audio Forum..I think here but move it if its more appropriate.....

I am making a CD for a neighbor who is a judge and a lawyer. He needs a couple of good poker playing CD's. I am trying to make a CD of songs ALL having something to do with crime, criminals, etc.. stuff like Smugglers Blues/Glen Frey, Coming Into Los Angeles/Arlo Guthrie.. etc... anybody got any suggestions to help me? No rap, he's not into it!

"Cocaine" by Eric Clapton?

or

"I'm No Angel" by Greg Allman

or

"Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle

or

"Devil's Right Hand" also by Steve Earle would be perfect cause the song's about a guy who gets hung for shooting a cheater in a card game

or

"Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash

or

heck I could go on but that's good for now!!

AC\DC: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Big Balls, Highway to ####-(you did say he was a lawyer, right? j\k)

The theme to COPS

Booker-T and the MGs: Green Onions (Not a "crime" song, but a good poker song I think)

Aerosmith: Janie's got a gun

ZZ-Top: I'm bad, I'm nationwide, Tush.

Eric Clapton (or) Bob Marley-(I think) [Either one is good]: I shot the Sherriff

I have a couple Lynyrd Skynyrd songs in mind, but can't think what they are right now.

I'll get back to you with them.

Thanks for reminding me Tom!

Lynyrd Skynyrd: Whino, Down South Jookin', Gimme 3 steps.

"Saturday Night Special" would be a good Skynard song.

You could always use the Jerry Reed song from Smokey and The Bandit: "East Bound and Down" or something like that. And Jerry Reed "Amos Moses" is a good song too, maybe not one you want for this though. Or Jerry Reed "Down On The Corner" or "When You're Hot, You're Hot", they're gambling in those songs.

"White Lightn'" -- George Jones

"Just Got Paid Today" -- ZZ Top

And I know there are some Allman Brothers Tunes, I just can't think of them right now.

David Allen Coe...something about when his Momma got out of prison.

illmac77 · February 10, 2002

John Lee Hooker -- "Whiskey and Women", "One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer" (his original version, not the remake everyone hears one the radio by Thoroughgood or whoever it is.)

Warren Haynes -- "Gambler's Roll"
