I was driving down Kevech Road on my mail route when suddenly it came to me from out of the blue. It was prompted by nothing, but there it was, invading my mind. It was a song, a blast from the past, and now it is hopelessly stuck in my head. The song was by these guys...
Well, not exactly! This photo is of Paul Revere and the Raiders in 1968. Left to right they are Paul Revere, Freddy Weller, Mark Lindsay, Joe Corerro Jr., and Charlie Coe. The song which made its way into my head is from one of the band's later albums (1972). By then the band had shortened the name to simply The Raiders, and Corerro and Coe were replaced by Mike Smith and Keith Allison, respectively.
The song invading my brain is called Country Wine.The title of the album it is from completely eludes me. I know that it is part of my vinyl collection and is packed away somewhere in storage. I need to find it. I need to play it over and over so that this stupid song will go away. I have not been able to find a CD copy of the album anywhere. Believe me, I've looked. Of course, it would help if I could remember the album's title. Other than the year of its release, all that I can remember about it is the title of one other song that appeared on it, Powder Blue Mercedes Queen.
