The Nashville Teens performing “Tobacco Road“, released originally in 1964. It reached #6 in the UK Singles Chart and #14 in the US Billboard Hot 100. “Tobacco Road“ is a classic rock song by The Nashville Teens, released originally in 1964. The song tells the story of Tobacco Road, a street in Durham, North Carolina where tobacco was once the primary industry. Written by John D. Loudermilk, it became a hit for The Nashville Teens and reached number six on the UK Singles Chart and number fourteen on the US Billboard Hot 100. Loudermilk was inspired to write the song after he drove down the actual Tobacco Road in Durham and saw the tough and seedy characters that lived there. The Nashville Teens were a British Invasion band, and their cover of the song featured a driving rhythm section and a blistering guitar solo. The song’s catchy hook and memorable chorus have made it a staple of classic rock radio to this day. In addition to The Nashville Teens’ version, “Tobacco Road“ has been covered by a variety of artists, including Johnny Winter and Edgar Winter. Edgar Winter’s version of the song features his signature saxophone playing and was a hit in its own right. Although The Nashville Teens did not achieve the same level of success as some of their contemporaries, such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, their music has endured and influenced subsequent generations of rock musicians. Michael Dunford, one of the band’s members, went on to join the progressive rock band Renaissance as a guitarist and songwriter.
