Roy Hogsed - Its More Fun That Way
Roy Hogsed (1919-1978) forged one of the most original sounds in postwar country music, a tight and exciting small group sound that often anticipated the energy and drive of rockabilly and rock 'n' roll. He is best remembered for his hit version of the notorious "Cocaine Blues" and most identified with the accordion and guitar lead and slapped-bass rhythm of his original Rainbow Riders Trio. Ironically, however, some of his best work, like "Snake Dance Boogie," "Let Your Pendulum Swing" and "Ain't A Bump In The Road" occurred in a looser, slightly larger band context. A good-time feel and infectious joy characterized his performances from start to finish. The Arkansas-born, San Diego-based Hogsed's recording career was relatively brief, spanning 1947-54, and his greater impact may have bee...

1233 Roy Hogsed Put Some Sugar In Your Shoes
Its Swingin' Monday on Ranch Radio and here is Roy Hogsed's 1951 recording of Put Some Sugar In Your Shoes.
Artist Biography by Stacia Proefrock
Born in Arkansas, Roy Hogsed (b. 1919, d. 1978) relocated to San Diego at the beginning of his career. He was responsible for one of the most original sounds in post-war country music, often throwing in elements of the not-yet articulated styles of rockabilly and rock & roll. His Rainbow Riders Trio combined accordion, guitar and slapped-bass rhythm to help produce hits like his version of "Cocaine Blues." Several other hits were made by him with a larger band format, including "Snake Dance Boogie," "Let Your Pendulum Swing," and "Aint a Bump in the Road." His career lasted from 1947, when he made his first singles for Coast Records to 1954, whe...

He had a limited impact on the larger Country Music scene, largely because of his location in San Diego instead of another musical powerhouse like Nashville or L.A., but his music remains a fascinating anomaly regardless.
Although he was active in the music business for only seven years, "Cocaine Blues" has been widely covered.
Roy Hogsed co-wrote and was the first artist to record the song "Gonna Get Along Without You Now" (1951) made famous by Teresa Brewer (1952) Patience and Prudence (1956)
Skeeter Davis (1964) Trini Lopez (1967) and Viola Wills (1979).

Johnny Cash - Rock Island Line (1972)
Johnny Cash (born J.R. Cash, February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003) was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, actor, and author. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 90 million records worldwide. Although primarily remembered as a country music icon, his genre-spanning songs and sound embraced rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk and gospel. This crossover appeal won Cash the rare honor of being inducted into the Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Gospel Music Halls of Fame.
Cash was known for his deep, calm bass-baritone voice, the distinctive sound of his Tennessee Three backing band, which is characterized by train-sound guitar rhythms, a rebelliousness coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor, free prison concerts, and a t...

Well the Rock Island Line she runs down into New Orleans.
There's a big toll gate down there and you know if you got
certain things on board when you go through the toll gate -
Well you don't have to pay the man no toll.
Well the train driver he pulled up to the toll gate
and the man hollered and asked him what all he had
on board and he said,
"I got live stock, I got live stock, I got cows I got pigs
I got sheep ...

Lyrics :
Now this here's the story about the Rock Island Line.
Well the Rock Island Line she runs down into New Orleans.
There's a big toll gate down there and you know if you got
certain things on board when you go through the toll gate -
Well you don't have to pay the man no toll.
Well the train driver he pulled up to the toll gate
and the man hollered and asked him what all he had
on board and he said,
"I got live stock, I got live stock, I got cows I got pigs
I got sheep I got mules I got ... all live stock".
Well he said "you all right boy, you don't have t'pay no toll.
You can just go right on through".
So he went on through the toll gate
And as he went through he started pickin up a little bit of speed,
pickin up a little bit of steam.
He got on through he turned he looked back to the man he said
"Well I fooled you, I fooled you I got pig iron I
got pig iron I got all pig iron".
Down the Rock Island Line she's a mighty road
The rock Island Line it's a road to ride
The rock island line it's a mighty good road
Well if you ride you got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line.
Oh cloudy in the west and it looked like rain.
Around the curb come a passenger train,
north bound train on the south bound track.
He did alright leaving but he won't be back.
Well the Rock Island Line she's a mighty road
The rock Island Line it's a road to ride
The rock island line it's a mighty good road
Well if you ride you got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line.
Oh I may be right and I may be wrong but she gonna miss me when I'm gone.
Well the engineer said before he died that there where
2 more drinks that he'd like to try Conductor said
"what could they be" - A hot cup of coffee
and a cold glass'a tea.
Well the Rock Island Line she's a mighty road
The rock Island Line it's a road to ride
The rock island line it's a mighty good road
Well if you ride you got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line.

Oh I may be right and I may be wrong but she gonna miss me when I'm gone.
Well the engineer said before he died that there where
2 more drinks that he'd like to try Conductor said
"what could they be" - A hot cup of coffee
and a cold glass'a tea.
Well the Rock Island Line she's a mighty road
The rock Island Line it's a road to ride
The rock island line it's a mighty good road
Well if you ride you got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line.
