“The Bikers Anthem” on Goin’ Back Home, vol. 6

Filed under: General — Steve @ 6:49 am

Steve’s 1986 penned “The Bikers Anthem” is included on the new “Goin’ Back Home’  CD compilation, released by Quickstar Productions.  There’s a looonnnnnngggg story about this song, best told with an icy cold beer.  This is the first time that all 4 verses have been presented in recorded form to the public.  Included is the infamous and fun “riceburner” verse, the original verse that was left off of the version on the 1st release on 45 rpm vinyl record, and replaced with a more politically correct verse at the request of the motor company’s executives.  The complete version of “The Bikers Anthem” is a guitar, banjo, and fiddle based production, with Steve playing his Martin D-28 and Deanie Richardson on fiddle, and with Rick Otts on banjo.  The tune was recorded at Rick’s studio in Hendersonville, TN.

There are 24 Bluegrass artists on the CD with songs varied from novelty, sing along, fine instrumentals, and, of course, story songs.

The CD is available at www.quickstarproductions.comевтини мебели and the major music and download sites.  Steve has a few copies to sell for $10, plus $3 shipping.
